Transcript[edit]
 |
- Wolf receives a series of messages from Skorri.
Skorri: Hey there, Wolf. The great Lord Felwinter—you know, of Felwinter Peak fame—and his tech officer are at Haven's Archives.
Wolf: Isn't that in Old Russia? That's pretty far from here.
Wolf: What would Lord Felwinter come all this way for?
Skorri: Oh, who knows. Probably showing off his latest invention?
Skorri: The guy's a bit of a tech nut. Frankly, nobody among the Iron Lords comes anywhere close to his level of enthusiasm.
Skorri: Here I thought he'd be holed up in his lab…
Skorri: Radegast wants to avoid this meeting, so he thinks he can send me instead. Unfortunately for him, I refuse.
Wolf: Uh… Why doesn't he want to go?
Skorri: Best not to get too curious about your superiors' interpersonal dealings, dear.
Skorri: Anyway, I need someone who can welcome him.
Wolf: Alright, I'll go.
- Wolf heads to the archives and up to the second floor. There, Helhest is standing next to a table that has a projection of Felwinter coming from it.
Unfamiliar Exo: The envoy you're looking for is here.
Unfamiliar Exo: I told you Radegast wouldn't come.
Unfamiliar Lightbearer: Hello, Wolf. This is Lord Felwinter, and I'm Helhest. We're here from Felwinter Peak.
Helhest: I'm primarily responsible for the comms networks covering the Iron Lords' territories.
Helhest: A few days ago, I picked up a strange radio signal unlike those from any known human or even Fallen device.
Helhest: Even with Felwinter Peak's considerable technology, we were unable to decipher the signal's contents.
Helhest: It was only by chance that we made out a series of coordinates.
Felwinter: It was you who figured it out, not "we." I don't need such consolation.
Felwinter: After we've fully decrypted the signal, I want its encryption methods for my own—once you've completed your investigation, that is.
Helhest: Repeated calculations have shown the coordinates to be somewhere between Haven and the Old City, but the signal's range is too large. I can't look into this on my own.
Helhest: Wolf, I'd like to ask you to help investigate one area, then share your findings with me.
Helhest: Afterwards, we'll rendezvous here.
Wolf: Sure…but, uh, is your boss going to come with us?
Felwinter: Helhest can take care of his on her own. I have other matters to attend to.
Felwinter: (cuts out)
- Felwinter's transmission ends.
Wolf: …No offense, but is he always like this?
Helhest: Yes. He's very busy—busier than any of us, in fact.
Wolf: No, I meant… Forget it. Let's head out.
- Helhest arrives at the Old City.
Grom: The signal's source is just up ahead. Follow me.
- They travel deeper into the city, defeating Fallen forces on the way.
Grom: The Fallen have completely taken over this place.
- After clearing out a group of Fallen, Helhest and Grom investigate a black, egg-shaped pod they had been surrounding.
Grom: This looks like an…escape pod?
Helhest: I've never seen this model, though. It's not from Earth.
Helhest: Can you scan its black box?
Grom: Let's see… I found the log from before it crashed.
Grom: You were right! Its origin point was somewhere in the Asteroid Belt.
Grom: Its mothership belongs to an Awoken organization.
Grom: When they flew into Earth's orbit, they placed an unknown device into the escape pod, then ejected it.
Helhest: An unknown device? But the pod is empty.
Helhest: Can you find out what it was?
Grom: No, that information is protected. And I can't break through the security layer.
Helhest: …Awoken from beyond Earth, and a highly classified device. That's quite unsettling.
Helhest: See if you can find any other clues around here, Grom. We need to find whatever they loaded in there.
- Grom finds a trail of footprints.
Grom: Helhest, look! Fallen footprints. They may have taken the device away.
Grom: The footprints lead deeper into the Old City. Follow me.
- Fighting off more Fallen on the way, the trail leads them to the city's library.
Grom: The signal's getting stronger! It's just up ahead!
- Helhest goes up to the second floor. The signal is on the floor below, but the balcony to reach it is blocked by lasers.
Grom: Watch out for those red lasers!
Grom: The signal is right below. Let's go take a look.
- Grom flies through a gap of the lasers and heads to its control panel next to door on the other end.
Grom: Give me a moment and I'll shut it down.
Grom: Cover me, Helhest!
- From the balcony, Helhest defends Grom from Fallen trying to attack her. The lasers die shortly after.
Grom: It's off!
- Helhest joins Grom by the door. A strange, pyramid shaped device sits directly in front of it.
Helhest: This looks like a…projector.
Helhest: …I can't turn it on.
Grom: Let me try.
- As Grom tries to activate it, more Fallen arrive.
Grom: Look out, Helhest. We've got enemies behind us.
- After defeating them, Helhest asks Grom about the device.
Helhest: Well?
Grom: Nothing. I tried rebooting it, but it still won't activate. The hardware's damaged.
- Wolf speaks over the comms.
Wolf: Any progress on your end, Helhest?
Helhest: We found the device emitting the signal, but we'll need to inspect its structure further.
Wolf: How about taking it to Donovan over at the Armory? He's always the one who helps us with any tech problems.
- Helhest enters Donovan's office. Himself and Wolf are already there.
Wolf: So this is the machine you found?
Wolf: Alright, let's see a master at work.
- Helhest places the projector onto Donovan's desk.
Donovan-17: Hah! Interesting. I've never seen Awoken technology like this.
Donovan-17: Look at it—exquisitely made, sleek, novel… What buffoon would smash it like this?
Helhest: It was loaded into a launched escape pod and took a little damage on the landing.
Donovan-17: A little?
Helhest: A little.
Donovan-17: Sure, and a nuclear detonation is just a little bang, right?
Donovan-17: I swear, you Lightbearers are purposely obtuse sometimes.
Donovan-17: Let me see… I could force it to start up, but only forcibly.
- The devices activates and opens. A small projection of a young Awoken girl with white hair appears.
Grom: It's a…a girl?!
Donovan-17: This is no normal projector. It has records of biological consciousness inside, making it more of a…a mind laid out on a petri dish, then grafted onto a supercomputer.
Donovan-17: You know what that implies, don't you? This girl should be a living person—or at least, has the mind of one.
Helhest: Should be?
Donovan-17: Should be.
Donovan-17: Of course, the crash has rendered it a bunch of damaged parts now. A shame.
Donovan-17: This was a creation nearing the pinnacle of Golden Age technology!
Helhest: But you can fix it, right?
Donovan-17: One thing at a time, Miss. I mean, I don't even know your name! What obligation do I have to help you?
Helhest: Oh, I'm not asking if you'll fix it for me. What I mean is, are you able to?
Donovan-17: Of course! I… Are you doubting me?
Wolf: …Come on, she doesn't mean it that way.
Donovan-17: Of course she does!
Donovan-17: Alright, Fine! Very well, I accept. Now, if you don't mind, please leave.
Donovan-17: I need to get to work! I'll contact you once I've made progress.
