Not Good With Farewells

Trailblaze EXP x 300, Credit x 8000, Condensed Aether x 3

Go over everything with the group

📍 Jarilo-VI Boulder Town

The truth of the planet is almost clear: The great calamity that ravaged the planet originated from the Stellaron.
The past Guardians have known about this but could do nothing about it. In the end, they chose to lie so that the city and its people could continue to live on the brink of desperation in this fabricated momentary peace.
But this does not solve the problem. You are well aware that only by destroying the Stellaron can this planet and Belobog return to their correct path, and enable the Express to embark on its journey.
Share your thoughts with your companions and decide on your next moves.

Ahhhh... Well, now that we're done with that whole situation in the Underworld, we can finally look for the Stellaron.

*sigh* But thinking about it, I feel a bit bad about Clara... We promised her that our talks with Svarog would go peacefully...

Svarog attacked first.
Sorry, I wasn't able to persuade Svarog...
I forgot to be more diplomatic.
Dan Heng
Dan Heng
{NICKNAME}, you tried your best to persuade him. It's my fault for not preparing better for such a situation in advance.
Dan Heng
Dan Heng
You tried your best, don't blame yourself. I should've considered such a situation in advance. And it was Svarog who attacked first, we didn't have any other choice.
Dan Heng

That certainly isn't our area of strength.

I didn't mean for you guys to start beating yourselves up over it!

Look on the bright side — things turned out alright, didn't they? Now everyone knows that the real problem here is the Stellaron, and they're willing to help us out.

All in all, the mission is going super smoothly!
Dan Heng
Dan Heng
But we still have a lot left to figure out. For instance...
Options
...Where's the Stellaron?
...Why does Cocolia have it in for us?
...Who is this Sampo character!?
Dan Heng
Dan Heng
Exactly. We don't even have the Stellaron's coordinates and location.
Dan Heng
Dan Heng
Cocolia's sudden change in attitude is also very curious.
Dan Heng
Dan Heng
Exactly. There must be a reason for this sudden change in her attitude.
Dan Heng
Dan Heng
And, we still don't have the coordinates and location of the Stellaron.
Dan Heng
Dan Heng
...That's not of foremost concern.
Dan Heng
Dan Heng
What's important is that we still don't have the exact location and coordinates of the Stellaron. Nor have we figured out the reason behind Cocolia's sudden change in attitude.
Dan Heng
Dan Heng
We still haven't put all of the pieces together...

Actually, I've been having some dreams...

Dreams?

Oh, I remember you mentioned something about strange dreams before...

Telling Dan Heng and March 7th about the voices you heard in your recent dreams...

...All three dreams were the same, with Cocolia and that other voice...
March 7th
March 7th
It would be weird to call it a coincidence.
Dan Heng
Dan Heng
I'm wondering if these dreams aren't just random, if there is some meaning behind them... Maybe you're having them because...
March 7th
March 7th
Because of... the Stellaron inside {F#her}{M#him}?
Dan Heng
Dan Heng
That's my hunch, but I have no proof.
March 7th
March 7th
Well then that's as good as nothing for now... So, what should we do when we get back above ground? After all this talk, we're still back at square one...
Dan Heng
Dan Heng
We solve a puzzle one piece at a time. Let's get some rest. We'll talk to Wildfire tomorrow and get to the bottom of this.
Dan Heng

Also, there's still one more key character we haven't talked to yet. Her connection to Cocolia may be the key to cracking this mystery.

Take a good rest while you still can, {NICKNAME}. Your adventures on the surface won't be easy-going.
Options
So you're the leader of Wildfire.
Your "gentle doctor" act is pretty good!
What's Wildfire's plan?
What about Clara and Svarog?
I don't have any more questions.
Natasha
Natasha
Don't be surprised. My job is just to help everyone make the right calls.
Natasha
Natasha
You remember Rivet Town? When the Fragmentum corrosion first appeared, we were defenseless. We didn't have a clue how to protect our homes.
Natasha
Natasha
After we fled to Boulder Town, I made up my mind: A tragedy like that could never be allowed to happen again. That's why I gathered Oleg and the others together, and created the first sparks of Wildfire.
Natasha
Natasha
Afterwards, Wildfire began to grow. To be honest, I never thought a day like this would come.
Natasha
Natasha
What do you mean? That's me too, y'know. The "me" that my patients see, at least.
Natasha
Natasha
Our identities are like masks. When we switch between them, we change the way the world perceives us.
Natasha

But our hearts never change.
Natasha
Natasha
Well, we don't want to act in haste before the situation has stabilized. We need to wait for the right time.
Natasha
Natasha
Ten years of being sealed away has sapped the Underworld's vitality. Now that the Furnace Core is no longer blocked off, we need to prioritize the people and replenish our resources.
Natasha
Natasha
Wildfire has never been in this for its own gain. Everything we do is for the citizens of the Underworld. That passage is a means to an end, not the end itself.
Natasha
Natasha
We'll leave them be... Svarog may have blocked off the Furnace Core, but he's provided shelter to the vagrants from the beginning. An admirable deed.
Natasha
Natasha
There are many homeless people in the Underworld. If they had safety and security, they wouldn't have to struggle to survive.
Natasha
Natasha
Wildfire can provide that while Svarog is recovering.
Natasha
Natasha
Things have settled for now, you should rest while you can.

Return to the Goethe Grand Hotel and rest

After an exchange of ideas and opinions, you quickly come up with a conclusion: The most urgent matter at hand is to return to the hotel and get a good night's sleep. You'll find out what the Wildfire thinks later.
It may not sound like the most heroic thing to do, but a soft and fluffy mattress after hard fights and toil is simply too much of a temptation.
A short break goes a long way towards preparing for the journey ahead. This is true for every traveler, and you are no exception.
We would like to have a rest.
Gertie
Gertie
You're back! I've heard from Wildfire that you helped resolve that whole situation with Svarog. Amazing!
Gertie
Gertie
It must have been exhausting. Please, have some food and get a good night's rest.
Options
I suppose it would be good to get some sleep...
Actually, I still have a lot of energy.

Go to bed

Having had a thorough discussion, you quickly conclude that the priority is to return to the hotel and get a good night's sleep. You will ask what Wildfire makes of this later.
It may sound outlandish, but how can one say no to a soft mattress after a long journey and harsh battle?
You toss all the complaints about your bed behind, thinking it must be the nicest thing this world has to offer.
Nighty-night. May you no longer be troubled by nightmares.

A wave of tiredness comes over you... reminding you that you haven't rested in a long time. Even the most terrible dream won't wake you up this time.

Finally, a good night's sleep. Or not — because you can't remember if you had a nightmare during the night.
Wouldn't hurt to stay a while longer to appreciate this simple yet cozy little room of yours... After all, there's no way to tell when you will be able to come back.
Go meet the group when you are ready.

I've noticed that our sleep routines don't match up. You either keep getting up in the middle of the night or snoozing away until the day is almost out. Unacceptable. You gotta work on your teamwork!

{NICKNAME}, did you have a dream again last night?
Options
Not this time.
I dreamed that Hook and Pom-Pom got into a squabble.
I can't remember.

Well then, let's go find Wildfire to discuss our next move and see if they have any new discoveries.

March 7th
Let's go! I can't wait to finally get back above ground!

Discuss future plans with Wildfire members

The longer you stay in this giant space underground, the harder it is to differentiate between the cold rock ceiling and the sky.
It's time to return to the surface... But you wouldn't be able to without any help — because if you could, you would've already done so, isn't that right?
"Wherever there is hardship and a cry for help, there is Wildfire." That is what Natasha once said. Go and ask them for a favor for the last time.

She left us a letter. Hmm... could this be one of those "open-in-case-of-emergency" letters? I've never gotten one of those before. Should we wait until we run into something dangerous?

Letter From Bronya

Brother and sister Landau...? I know the brother must refer to Gepard, but who could the sister be...
March 7th
March 7th
Oh, Serval! So she's Gepard's older sister!
Options
How very astute of you.
I hope nothing happens to Bronya.
Maybe the "sister" refers to Gepard.

Blonde, tall, good-looking... *sigh* Those Landau genes sure are something else.

She gave it some good thought, but whatever's going on in that supreme guardian's head... Even Bronya might have trouble understanding.

Hey, stay on track!

Sampo, do you know the Landau siblings?

Sampo
Landau... Uhh yeah, we're old friends. I've mostly dealt with the younger brother in the past, but the sister... *shudder* She's much scarier. Today's supposed to be a day of celebration, so let's not talk about it right now.

We can set out at any time. Just come find me when you're ready~
