Chen Qianyu
Don't be afraid. We're Endfielders. We got rid of the breakers nearby.
A
Angro
Endfield...? Oh, wonderful! I couldn't figure out how to deal with these LBs.
Chen Qianyu
Why are you here? This doesn't seem like a good hiding place.
A
Angro
I'm on a mission from Professor Crowe. Almost done, can't afford to screw this up now.
Perlica
Mission?
A
Angro
Yeah. I have to dismantle the safety devices of the energy reservoir for the final preparation.
Perlica
Disable the safety? Hold on. Can you tell me what Mr. Crowe is planning?
A
Angro
We don't have many weapons at this power plant. But ... we can unleash the electrical power stored in the reservoir. This will generate an energy pulse capable of flattening the entire Power Plateau...
Chen Qianyu
Wait, wait, wait! I'm not hearing things, right? An energy pulse? To flatten the entire place?
A
Angro
Don't worry. This is our ultimate counter. We'll evac the survivors first before continuing with this operation.
Perlica
Please calm down. Think carefully: is this really Mr. Crowe's plan? Does he intend to take the Landbreakers down with him?
A
Angro
We failed to fight off the LBs and they took the entire Power Plateau. So many have died... This is our responsibility.
Perlica
It's an accident and none of you should be blaming yourselves. And we certainly don't need to go to such extreme lengths to solve the issue. We're here, and we can take care of the rest.
A
Angro
But...
Perlica
We received a call from Mr. Crowe and we're planning to look for him. Perhaps we should decide upon our next move after we exchange our intel with each other.
A
Angro
Okay ... fine. Professor Crowe is in the control room not too far away. But I must stay at my post. Someone has to be here and act quickly once we get a greenlight for the plan.
Chen Qianyu
Well, be safe out here. Call for help if you see the breakers. I'll be with you in a flash.
Perlica
Perhaps this is what Mr. Crowe warned us about... Endmin, we should look for him quickly.
Chen Qianyu
I remember hearing the name "Crowe" somewhere.
Perlica
The Collinses mentioned his name.
Chen Qianyu
Yvonne mentioned his name too. He has something to do with Tata, right?
Perlica
Our data says he's worked at Valley IV for over twenty years. He is also a leading expert of Ætherside sciences for the UWST.
Chen Qianyu
A scientist of the Ætherside? No wonder Yvonne knows him.

Perlica
Mr. Crowe?
C
Crowe
Ah... Supervisor Perlica? You're finally here.
C
Crowe
I was afraid you couldn't get here safely. Looks like I worried too much.
C
Crowe
I haven't seen you two from the Endfield data. If I'm not mistaken, this one here must be your Endministrator.
C
Crowe
I know stories about you.
C
Crowe
In a less urgent situation, I would use this opportunity to have a nice chat with you over a few drinks.
C
Crowe
Oh. That means you've met Angro. I knew that kid has what it takes to successfully complete his mission.
Chen Qianyu
"Successfully"? Seriously now, are you planning to flatten this entire place?
C
Crowe
I don't see any problem with that. In fact, I have something I need your help with.
Perlica
Our help?
C
Crowe
We paid a bloody price when the Landbreakers attacked this place. The crew fought hard to get the survivors to the shelters.
C
Crowe
But this will not solve the issue. We must seal that rift in the sky or there is no escape for anyone!
C
Crowe
These breaker scum invaded this place, destroyed our hard work, and left us no choice. We cannot simply let them leave in peace.
C
Crowe
The Valley IV is UWST territory. They won't just come and leave as they please! Not a chance! Since we're all going to die anyway, we shall make it impossible for them to achieve their goals!
Chen Qianyu
Oh, come on now. We're here, and we can definitely figure something out...
C
Crowe
No. They must pay the price! This is not for negotiations.
C
Crowe
But before we take the invaders down with us, I need your help to get the survivors to a safe place. The fact you're here means you have already secured a safe route of evacuation.
C
Crowe
One old man is sufficient for our final sacrifice.
Perlica
That is something we cannot do.
C
Crowe
You cannot do that? Even if you defeat the Landbreakers, there is no way you can seal that Æther rift quickly enough!
Perlica
Sealing the rift is our mission objective. It is why we brought Tata all the way to this place.
C
Crowe
Tata...? Now hold on...
C
Crowe
Is this the Prototype I handed over to Yvonne? Did she really complete the project? It looks ... rather unique at some places, but...
Chen Qianyu
Don't just stare at it. So, can Tata take care of that huge Æther rift?
C
Crowe
So this is the algorithmic model... Yvonne did well here. Hmm... How did she pull this off...?
C
Crowe
...No. This is only feasible on a theoretical level, but we're running out of time. You only have a single team against a huge force of breakers. There's no way you could reach the place.
Chen Qianyu
C'mon, we are the Endfielders! And we got our Endministrator with us, so we'll definitely figure something out!
C
Crowe
Hmm... Perhaps there is another way.
Chen Qianyu
Erm, are you still trying to...
C
Crowe
The new plan has nothing to do with flattening this place. What? You think I'm some old suicidal fool chasing after medals or glory?
Chen Qianyu
Eh, no! Definitely not, sir!
C
Crowe
Follow me.

Dialogue
Chen Qianyu
Could it be a trap?
Perlica
No. It doesn't seem like something that the Bonekrushers would do. Fiona, anything from voice fingerprinting and analysis?
Fiona the Comms Officer
There's a match with the files that UWST synced with us. We're certain that the caller is indeed Matz Crowe himself.
Perlica
I agree... I believe we should indeed meet him face-to-face. Perhaps we'll find other UWST survivors there.
Chen Qianyu
And we have the coordinates, right? Let's go.
Radio
Perlica
There are plenty of Landbreakers nearby. They seem to be looking for UWST survivors.

Angro
I believe in Professor Crowe and you. But ... we must have a backup solution.
A
Angro
If things reach the point of no return, I'll continue carrying out Professor Crowe's mission...
A
Angro
Uhhhh... Who? Who's there?
Chen Qianyu
This transport belt is huge. Are they using it to move fuel?
