Visitor from the Band I

...Oh, you mean someone saw her nearby?

Yeah. Nobody else would be running all over the place and taking photos with their handyterms... But that paparazza is a slippery one. She managed to get away every time...

This one sounds like a royal pain in the butt...

Endmin, you're here! Yeah, we got a suspicious journalist, probably came from the Talos-II General Chamber of Commerce. She's the "unexpected sitch" I mentioned...

Endmin! You came at the right time! We were talking about the cause of our unexpected sitch — some journalist who probably came from the Talos-II General Chamber of Commerce.

During the last couple of days, the crew have been telling us about a strange woman showing up nearby. She claims to be a TGCC journalist.

The Bander sneak took photos of confidential stuff. Then she kept pestering our crew with a lot of weird questions.

She even ignored our warning signs and ran into hazardous areas. Our crew had to stop their work just to get her out.

Let's just say she's a real nasty piece of work.

Yeah, well, we've been stretched thin ever since that Blight disaster.

We're all busy trying to rebuild and get on with our lives. Nobody's got time for that Bander journalist.

Yeah, you've probably noticed this too... Most of the crew are busy with post-disaster relief and rebuilding. No one has the time to keep an eye on a slippery journalist.

But she's from the TGCC. That makes things tricky...

If anything happens to the journalist on UW turf, we'll be in for some major league Cartel-directed blightshow.

So, after *much* consideration, we'd like to ask for Endfield's assistance. You've handled disputes like this before, which makes you skilled mediators. Perhaps you could help us speak with her — and, if possible, send her away from Valley IV?

That journalist is hiding in the refugee camp. Aleeza went ahead to check the sitch. I'll send you the coordinates stat.

Oh, before I forget! The crew also told me something really important. She's a master of disguise!

I strongly recommend bringing a team of specialists with you, just in case.

Greetings, Endministrator. You're finally here.

Hmm. You look rather surprised.

Perhaps Supervisor Perlica neglected to mention that ... *I* was the one assigned to assist you?

Mmhmm. I just completed my last assignment at the Valley. That's why I received the Supervisor's assembly call for the operators.

She was actually quite hesitant about giving the job to me, since my schedule for the entire year seems rather packed.

Then I heard that you get to partner up with the Endmin for this mission ... so I volunteered and nabbed the post.

Oh, there's no need for such politeness. Just think about the ultimate success of this mission ... and what you should compensate me with.

Okay then, I'll stop teasing you, Endmin.

Let's focus on the task at hand — I wonder where Miss Collins went. I thought she agreed to meet us here.

Sure. I guess we'll wait.

From my experience, an unexpected accident is usually the reason why people are running late...

Wow! Is this what the world looks like with these glasses on...?

It's so interesting!

Give me back my glasses, Vivian.

Dere's nothing wrong with yer eyes. Wearing my glasses will hurt 'em...

Just let me wear them for a while longer, puh-lease?

Fine. Have fun with 'em. I'm gonna help Aunt Carlyn move her stuff.

Go and do your thing! Oh! Don't forget to tell mama that I'm reading!

Aye, aye ... whatever.

That girl is attracting a great deal of attention ... gawking around with someone else's glasses.

But according to that friend of hers, there's nothing wrong with her eyesight.

Got anything in mind, Endmin? Feel free to ask your trusty assistant. It's okay to count on me a little more, you know.

What do I think? Well, some of the things in the reports might be helpful.

First, I'm pretty certain we're looking for a Feline lady. It's pretty hard to disguise yourself as that.

Second, our Feline lady may have poor eyesight and need some pretty thick glasses. Sure, contact lenses are getting more popular in the TGCC, but witness reports from the crew suggest otherwise. Her myopia is too severe for those.

The length of her hair is uncertain. She could disguise that with wigs or hide her long hair beneath a hat.

As for descriptions of her headwear, handbags, and other clothing articles, take them with a pinch of salt as they can be easily replaced.

Of course, our rogue journalist is probably using a disguise that lets her blend into the crowd. She made her way to a disaster site, so I guess she's mentally prepared for all sorts of things.
