Quest Description

The Jinzhou military wants to restart the radar at Desorock Highland, but the engineer in charge has yet to show up...

(Talk to Upset Soldier)

Upset Soldier: You there, kind (‍sir/miss‍). Please, I'm in dire need of assistance...

What's the matter?

Upset Soldier: *sigh* The Tacet Discords busted our radars again...

Upset Soldier: I don't know what's got into them lately. It's like they're on a rampage. We've lost count how many times the radars' gotten totaled...

Upset Soldier: Fix, smashed, fix, smashed. Rinse and repeat... With our brothers going out like flies, even the engineers hightailed it. When is this ever going to end...?

Brothers?

Hé Chou: My squadmates. Ah... excuse me. Forgot to introduce myself. I'm Hé Chou, Midnight RangersRearguard. I'm from the unit stationed in this area.

Hé Chou: With all the mess the TDs have been giving us, everyone's... ran off left, right, and center.

Hé Chou: And now I'm the only one that's left... plain old useless me... with nothing I can do...

Hé Chou: An engineer was supposed to report in for duty today, but he hasn't even shown up yet...

Hé Chou: Ugh. It's my last assignment, too. I can't screw this up...

Hé Chou: Just my luck. How did I get myself into this mess?

Want me to help you find him?

Hé Chou: All right, all right... Guess it's the only thing I can do for now...

You'll end up in a deeper mess if you don't chin-up...

Hé Chou: Well, it can't get any worse than this...

Hé Chou: But you're right... There are TDs running wild all over the place as it is... Can't have my bad luck passing on to others...

Enough. Let's go.

Hé Chou: All right, all right... Guess it's the only thing I can do for now...

Hé Chou: By the way. I haven’t caught your name...

(Rover).

Hé Chou: (Rover)... Got it. I'll keep that in mind.

Hé Chou: Also, once my shift's over, remind me to get you a good luck charm to make up for all this jumble.

(Search for the engineer): Hé Chou: The Tacet Discords over there surrounding the sentry tower...? Kind of strange...; Hé Chou: ...Ah! There's a man trapped in the sentry tower! Let's eliminate those Tacet Discords and get him down!
(Eliminate the TDs)

(Talk to the engineer): Hé Chou: You still in one piece?; Survivior: I'm okay. Thank goodness you guys came in time. Almost thought I was a goner!; Hé Chou: Phew... Good to hear. Can’t have any more people get hurt. Not on my watch...; Survivior: Wait a sec... Your uniform. You're a Midnight Ranger? And who may this be...?; Hé Chou: Yes, the name's Hé Chou. Rearguard, Midnight Rangers. And this is (Rover), a friend who's got quite a few fighting skills under (‍hshsText for male Rover/herherText for female Rover‍) sleeves it seems like.; Survivior: Ahh. Greetings. I'm Qiuwang. Engineer. I received orders from the Defense Division to report my new assignment. I have been briefed on the recent incidents regarding this area. Thank you for your hard work thus far.; Qiuwang: Yet, regardless of how difficult the situation may be, we cannot put aside our tasks. Without further delay, let's head to the surveillance station.; Hé Chou: You... You do realize you were just attacked by TDs, right? Aren't you afraid? You sure you don't want to rest up a bit?; Qiuwang: I'm a bit frightened, yes. But rest won't be necessary.; Qiuwang: The risk of danger increases each minute the radar isn't operational. As I was entrusted with this task, I am obligated to fulfill these duties.; Qiuwang: Besides, there is something I wish to pursue...; Hé Chou: The way you put it reminds of the old me who volunteered to come to the Desorock Highland.; Hé Chou: I used to be full of ambition and eagerness to try out something new...; Hé Chou: But after you get beaten down over and over again, those close to you disappear one after another...; Hé Chou: And all you can do is just watch... standing there helplessly...; Hé Chou: I'll see if you can still keep that enthusiasm and high spirit of yours when the time comes.; Qiuwang: When the time... Well, only time will tell!; Qiuwang: All I know is that there is a task at hand, and repairs must be done at the surveillance station.

(Talk to Qiuwang): Qiuwang: Hmm... The door seems a little strange...; Qiuwang: The rocks must've smashed the supporting beam, so the wall tilted inside and jammed the door.; Hé Chou: Indeed. The roof has been punctured cleanly through by a large rock.; Hé Chou: I wonder if we can repair it... *sigh*... Everything's breaking down all over the place lately...; Qiuwang: It would seem repairs are unnecessary. Better to tear everything down and rebuild.; Qiuwang: Well, things breaking down isn’t necessarily a bad thing. No construction without destruction. Don't you agree?

(Open the door to the Surveillance Station): Qiuwang: Astonishing, (Rover)! Aren’t you just full of surprises?; Qiuwang: Well... Let's see here. This Induction Cell seems to be intact. Once we install this back to where it belongs, all it takes for me is to adjust some settings to restore the station's data.

(Place the Induction Cell)

Qiuwang: You work fast, (Rover). You’ll make for a great engineer. Have you considered becoming one?

I think I'll pass.

Qiuwang: Ahh. That's a shame. But I agree that one should decide their own path and walk it on their own free will.

Why not.

Qiuwang: Haha. You were quick to answer. Why don’t you give it some more experience before you come to a final decision?

Qiuwang utters as he continues to adjust the Induction Cell.

Qiuwang: It is done! Data link complete... We now have access to the Tacet Discord incursion on record.

Hé Chou: Incursion records? I thought restoring the data was all we needed to do?

Qiuwang: Restoring the data is only a temporary solution. With this record, we can study the TDs' behaviors, in order to better formulate measures to strengthen our defenses and eliminate future problems.

Qiuwang: Which is also the ultimate goal of my assignment... Performing constant repairs is simply unfeasible long-term.

Qiuwang: As you can see, all three surveillance stations are currently damaged. It will take a significant amount of time for even the most skilled engineers to repair and have them fully back and running.

Qiuwang: Not to mention the numerous dangers they may encounter along the way...

Qiuwang: Ahem. In short, our work at this station has concluded. We should move on to the next one.

Qiuwang: I shall entrust you for protection if we come across anything unexpected.

(Head to the 2nd Surveillance Station): Qiuwang: There's not a door to block us this time, but the Cell is missing.; Hé Chou: *sigh* It's either one problem or the other. I can't even hand over my shift properly. How useless I am...; Qiuwang: Err... This isn't really your fault, is it?; Qiuwang: Constant moaning about these matters won't do you any good... You are familiar with this place more than any of us. Why don't you try recalling where the Cell may be?; Hé Chou: Come to think of it... Nearby Exiles sometimes come here to steal things.; Hé Chou: But they usually go for food or scrap metals, stuff like that. They don't have the guts to try and take something like this... What happened this time?; Qiuwang: Hmm... It's a clue at least. Lead the way. We should talk with the Exiles nearby.

(Investigate the Exiles camp): Qiuwang: Hello there. Are you the ones who's taken the cell?; Arrogant Exile: Caramel? What caramel? We be eaten all the caramel if we had them!; Qiuwang: Err... Not caramel. Cell.; Arrogant Exile: Caramel, cellamel. They be the same.; Hé Chou: It's just an act. I've seen it all before.; Hé Chou: You try talk sense to these airheads and all you’re going to get is a dead end.; Hé Chou: Some good-old beating is the only way to deal with these clowns.

(Defeat the Exiles): Lowly Exile: Ow, ow, ow! Alright, Alright! I get it, Boss. I give up, okay!?; Hé Chou: Out with it. Where are you keeping the Induction Cell?; Lowly Exile: I-Induction Cell? We've never even heard of it before.; Qiuwang: It's a rectangular piece with smooth edges. It has a metallic frame, cold on the hands, and is rather heavy to carry...; Lowly Exile: Oh! That! Yes, yes. We've seen it before.; Lowly Exile: The TDs' been coming over here a lot these days. And we saw them getting into a huge fight with those uniform guys the other day.; Lowly Exile: They were fighting over that big tin box like crazy. We thought it must be some kind of treasure, and brought it back after everything went all quite.; Lowly Exile: Couldn't figure out for the life of us what it was or used for, so we just tossed it aside.; Hé Chou: Enough yammering. Just tell us where it is!; Lowly Exile: Hey! Easy, easy buddy! I-I don't remember where it is. It's been a while since we tossed it. Okay...?; Hé Chou: How about a physical reminder on the head. Eh?; Lowly Exile: Eek! I swear, I can't remember!; Lowly Exile: Why... why don’t you go look for it yourself? It's probably in that pile over there.; Qiuwang: It appears we are short on screening options for the time being. We'll just have to resort to the old-fashioned way.; Hé Chou: Fine. We'll find it ourselves.; Qiuwang: One moment. There's one more thing I'd like to ask.; Qiuwang: Do you recall seeing anyone else besides the Rangers recently?; Lowly Exile: Oh, yeah. There was someone who wore the same uniform as you and was always repairing stuff near the surveillance station. Haven't seen them lately, though.; Qiuwang: I see...; Are you looking for someone?; Qiuwang: Well, it's more than that...; Qiuwang: It's a long story. Let's focus on the task at hand first.

(Search first pile): Hé Chou: Urgh. Nothing... Just my luck...; Qiuwang: No need to get anxious. Every cloud has a silver lining. These items you found have their own uses. You should keep them.; Qiuwang: Let's search for more.

(Search second pile): Hé Chou: Still nothing...; Qiuwang: Well, on a brighter note. We managed to gain a lot from all of this.; Qiuwang: And by employing proof by exhaustion. There is only one pile left.; Qiuwang: The Cell will soon be in our grasps!

(Search for the Induction Cell)

Qiuwang: What did I say!

Qiuwang: In the end, there's always a balance in between fortune and misfortune.

Qiuwang: Once a bad luck passes, a good luck would follow.

(If two piles have been searched): Qiuwang: Think of it this way. We gained some useful items searching the first two garbage piles, and now we have the Cell as well.; Qiuwang: I’d say it’s a fruitful outcome! A form of good fortune, wouldn’t you say so?; Hé Chou: ...
(If there are piles still available): Qiuwang: Why don't we take advantage of our good luck and search the other piles? We might find even more treasures...; Hé Chou: ...; Qiuwang: Haha. Let’s leave the decision to (Rover).!

(If Induction Cell found in first try): Qiuwang: It seems luck is on our side. We have the Cell!; Transcription missing

(Bring the Induction Cell back to the Surveillance Station): Qiuwang: The Cell seems to be intact on the exterior. The only way to find out if it’s still functional is by going back to the surveillance station.; Hé Chou: We should shake a leg then... The quicker we get it fixed up, the sooner I can say goodbye to this shift...

(Arrive at the Surveillance Station): Qiuwang: Let's hope this thing's still working.

(Place the Induction Cell): Qiwang installed the Induction Cell back in its place.

Qiuwang: Hmmm... There. It's connected!

Qiuwang: I've managed to gain acces of data on the TDs' behaviors as well... So the reports about how quickly they're adapting were true...

Qiuwang: How is this possible...?

Qiuwang: One more surveillance station to go and the radars can be back online.

Qiuwang: It seems the only way we can solve this mystery is by getting the last set of data...

Qiuwang: Before we do, there's more work ahead of us.

(Head to the 3rd Surveillance Station): Qiuwang: As I anticipated, there are also signs of structural collapse in this station... Likely caused by battle.; Qiuwang: Judging from these markings, the significance of the amount of force exterted that led to this destruction cannot be underestimated.; Qiuwang: Fortunately, it seems that the surrounding area is still safe for the time being... We should break the debris and get inside quickly.

(Enter the 3rd Surveillance Station): Qiuwang: Ahh. The Cell is right there in front of us.; Hé Chou: This should be the last one, right...? Finally, I wrap this up now...

(Place the Induction Cell)

Qiuwang: Hmm... Now that the last Cell is back in place, the entire line has been connected, so it'll take some time for the data to transfer.

Hé Chou: Wait... I hear movement outside!

Qiuwang: What the...

Hé Chou: Tsk... These guys look like they mean business...

Hé Chou: They've got us outnumbered, what are we gonna do...

Don't worry. That's what I'm here for.

Qiuwang: I admire your confidence, but be cautious not to get too overconfident.

This'll be a cakewalk!

Qiuwang: You've got some skills I'll give you that, but don't get your guard down...

Qiuwang: These TDs may look large in size, but as long as we can figure out their frequencies and exploit their weaknesses, we may be able to gain the upper hand.

Qiuwang: We should take the initiative and attack from our side to widen our chances of winning.

Hé Chou: Yeah, these TDs aren't going anywhere anyway... Here goes nothing. I'm not letting anything get in my way of turning in this shift!

(Defeat TDs in front of the Surveillance Station): Qiuwang: Whew— Outstanding work!; Hé Chou: Good thing I had (Rover) covering my back... Wouldn’t have done it without (‍himhimText for male Rover/herherText for female Rover‍)...; Hé Chou: So... Now that we’ve taken care of our TD problem. How about we check on the data transfer?; Hé Chou: If it's already done, then my work here is almost complete...; Qiuwang: One moment. The frequencies of these TDs seem very unusual. I’d like to collect some data.

Qiuwang collected a set of TD frequency data.

Qiuwang: It is done. We should head back to the surveillance station for a further analysis.

(Return to the Surveillance Station): Qiuwang: Data link complete... TD behavior record download complete...; Qiuwang gives a strange face after he carefully compares the data sets—his eyes sparkle with surprise, but the corners of his mouth curl down slightly into a bitter smile.; Qiuwang: Just like my mentor said, the TDs in this area have evolved. They now coordinate their attacks and finish off their targets...; Mentor?; Qiuwang: Yes. My mentor. The engineer that was last assigned to this station.; Qiuwang: A while ago, I received a message from him mentioning the TDs in this area were evolving in abnormal speed. His speculations are now proven true after witnessing what had happened today for myself.; Qiuwang: I've collected most of the data mentioned in the message, however...; Qiuwang: The reason for this evolution remains a mystery. The same can be said about the whereabouts of my mentor...; So you were looking for your mentor.; Qiuwang: Yes... I haven't heard from him since he sent me the message...; Qiuwang: Considering the speed at which the TDs are evolving, I'm afraid he...; Hé Chou: ...Don't give up. There's still a place we haven't been to yet.; Hé Chou: The radar station. We should give the place a look.

(Head to the radar station): Qiuwang: Another empty building...; Hé Chou: The place's been like this ever since that battle...; Qiuwang: There's one last approach—activate the radar.; Qiuwang: Once done, we may find new information from the station's data.; Qiuwang: I can't say for certain there will be any. But at this point, there's only one way to find out...; Qiuwang: The last data... Our last hope.

(Restart the radar): The radar's beam of light shines on Hé Chou's tired eyes as it powers up. But after a few seconds, his eyes dim again—it's a light he's seen countless times, only to be swallowed by darkness. No one knows how long it will last this time, but for someone about to leave, its duration no longer matters.; Qiuwang rushes to collect data, his fingers slightly trembling as he enters the inputs. Despite the nerves, his years of experience ensure he makes no mistakes.; Beep—Data transfer complete.

Qiuwang: Frequencies. Mixed with chaos and clamor...

Qiuwang: Dozens of Elite Class TDs... and ten individuals who fought to their last.

Qiuwang: Among them were nine elites and one untrained.

Hé Chou: Ziqin, Zhiyou, Nianhan... It’s the nine Rangers that were stationed here together with me.

Qiuwang: The nine people fought against the TDs while protecting the untrained.

Qiuwang: The frequency gradually weakened and disappeared... Only one TD and the untrained person remained.

Qiuwang: Later the frequency demonstrated a steady pattern, and the waveform resembled the comparative experiments often carried out in laboratories...

Qiuwang: But this time, it was done on the field.

Qiuwang: The slight tremors on the waveform reveal the agony of being torn apart...

Is this...

Qiuwang: Yes.

Qiuwang: After completing a set of comparative experiments, the person ended their own life.

What happened afterwards?

Qiuwang: After completing a set of comparative experiments, the person ended their own life.

Qiuwang: The TD followed suit by performing the same action...

Hé Chou: You mean to tell me that this person, knowing he's got no way of escaping, collected the frequency of the TD's evolution rate on the spot, and by using their quirk of of copying human behaviors, guided it to destroy itself?

Hé Chou: To do this, you have to be someone with a heap of experience in TD research.

Hé Chou: As far as I know, there’s only one person that checks the box ...

Qiuwang: ...

Everyone falls silent.

Qiuwang: ...

Are you okay?

Qiuwang: ...I've managed to calm down a bit. I feel much better now.

Qiuwang: To be honest. From the moment I received my mentor's message, I had a feeling that his fate has been sealed.

Qiuwang: Being a strict person that he always is, he never talks about anything other than research.

Qiuwang: But in that message, besides the research data, there were also a few words of advice.

Qiuwang: "This work proved to be a very dangerous one. Should you continue, you risk losing your loved ones, friends... and everything you hold dear till this day."

Qiuwang: "Looking back from the end, the data you worked so hard to obtain is but a candle in the wind, always on the verge of being extinguished."

Qiuwang: "If you still decide to carry on despite knowing all of this."

Qiuwang: "Then come to the Desorock Highland. It's time for you to take over."

Hé Chou: ...I didn’t realize you went through all of this... I even tried to act tough on you, and kept mumbling on and on...

Hé Chou: You're in as much pain as I am... but you didn't stop or complain, and continued moving on...

Hé Chou: I'm just... so useless. No wonder I can't do anything right...

Qiuwang: Well, you've done quite well yourself all this time.

Qiuwang: You were with us the whole time, providing information and clearing paths... You even brought along a strong helper like (Rover).

Qiuwang: You and your squad have fulfilled your duties well.

Hé Chou: ...

Qiuwang: On the battlefield, your sacrifices and resistance is what prevented the radar from suffering any major damage.

Qiuwang: And later your tireless efforts paved way for the swift repairs of the radar.

Qiuwang: All of this wouldn't have been achieved without any of us.

Hé Chou: ...You're right.

Yup!

Qiuwang: We are in your debt, (Rover). You had no obligation to do so, yet your aid is inmeasurable.

Qiuwang: I shall double me efforts in studying these precious data we have worked so hard to collect.

So, what do we do next?

Qiuwang: I shall continue to study these precious data we managed to collect.

Qiuwang: After analysing the waveforms, I have come to a preliminarily conclusion that the abnormal evolution rate of the Tacet Discords in this area is correlated to the surrounding environment and the simulation subjects.

Simulation subjects?

Qiuwang: The Rangers who fought till the end.

Qiuwang: TDs imitate behaviors to evolve. The more they fight, the faster they evolve.

Hé Chou: That's how they learned our tactics! Whenever we defended a surveillance point, they seized it. When we guarded an Induction Cell, they tried to capture it. And when we protected the researcher, the TDs rushed for him too.

Hé Chou: Which means that the more we resist, the faster they adapt? What are we going to do about it?

Qiuwang: TDs can only "imitate" and cannot truly learn. They are merely a jumble of chaotic frequencies, not intelligent beings.

Qiuwang: They bear no distinguish between good or evil, right from wrong. They simply imitate, prey, and attack...

Qiuwang: As long as we make use of this quality, we can bend the situation to our advantage and develop defensive technologies to prevent them from causing harm the surveillance and radar stations ever again.

Qiuwang: The data that my mentor left behind for me at the end was a clear indication in this direction... I will devote all my efforts into promoting this technology.

Qiuwang: What do we have here...? The radar's detection accuracy has gone up and revealed a few uncharted areas after it was brought back online.

Qiuwang: My mentor once told me that these kinds of places usually store unknown treasures. Obtaining this precious data today is more than adequate for me, so I'll leave these treasures to you, (Rover).

Qiuwang: I hope you can also experience the surprise and excitement of exploring the unknown.
