Quarry Rescue

Hoho, you've arrived, Endmin! Awesome. I was about to head in and look around the place on my own.

I don't really know. I saw figures scurrying about but they're so far away. I'm not sure what they're up to.

Just those figures in the far distance. They kinda look like members of the Syndicates crew. Anyway, these guys are rushing back and forth and I have no idea what they're doing...

I totally agree! Great. It's time to jump right in!

Yeah! It's super easy! Just adjust your landing posture right before you hit the ground—

You're not taking the shortcut? Hmm. Surefooted as always, Endmin! Perhaps a more cautious and grounded approach will work out better for us!

And it's okay if you change your mind, Endmin. I can give you a piggyback ride and jump down. It's totally safe!

Hmm. Endmin, I hope I'm not seeing things, but you turned really pale.

It's nothing. I just felt a little...

We should look for another way in...

Fine, I get it. Alright, then! Time to look for a detour!

The gate at the end of the corridor is being repaired.

(The way is blocked. I should look for another way.)

I guess there are still no suitable backup parts.

No... Our depot was hit as well. Most of the backup parts have been destroyed...

Okay... What should we do...? If only we knew where Penny went... She'll definitely make something work...

Endfielders? Ah... I ... heard about you, but why are you here...?

'Cos we received your distress call! We ran all the way from our Base to this place, you know!

Anyways, I heard you got trouble. Spit it out and I'll get it settled!

Distress call? Someone at another base actually heard us and sent you here? Oh thank Talos for that! We really need all the help we can get!!

Wait a sec... But I don't really recognize your outfits... Are you really from the UWST?

We're Endfielders! We came all the way here to help you out!

Oh ... okay. I mean, really nice to have you here! I'm Ramon and I'm the person in charge of this Quarry.

So, since you have received our distress call, then you should know that the disaster blocked a lot of our roads... That also happens to be the major cause of our most pressing issue...

Indeed we do. The disaster made a mess of this Quarry. Fortunately the aftershocks weren't as strong so we initiated our contingency plans...

However, every road leading to other key zones is either blocked or has collapsed. Signal interference is also really bad here. We still couldn't contact many of our crew.

This is why we must clear the roads, locate our crew, and get them to safety ASAP.

Exactly! And we actually found a "bypass key" to handle our problem. It's this—

Our super crane! This juggernaut did a lot of heavy lifting in the Quarry. But our old boy seemed to have experienced a ... major mechanical hiccup because we overworked it for years. Happened before I got this assignment, too. We never really activated it since then...

Lucky for us, the old boy's lifting cage still works. It's how we could still reach the zones cut off by the road collapses.

Yeah. That old boy is pretty banged up from overwork... Its lifting cage is the only part that can still move...

This is also why we really need skilled machinists who know how this works! Fixing and activating the super crane will let us reach even more places in the Quarry!

Wait. Are you saying that none of you know how this works?

We do... I mean ... we did. We just lost contact with her after the disaster... So...

No problem! The power nexus is that way! Let me take you there!
