Investigate the bizarre situation at the Xianzhou port

📍 The Xianzhou Luofu Cloudford

Upon arriving at the Xianzhou Luofu, only an empty port welcomes the Express.
Kafka claims that a Stellaron had descended here and that the place is on the brink of catastrophe. The closed port in front of you seems to confirm what she said.
The Trailblazers will need to investigate carefully to understand what had happened here.

The silver lining is that based on what we can see, no civilians were caught up in the battle...

I'm guessing the Xianzhou must have evacuated the port immediately, leaving the soldiers to deal with the crisis. But as for these corroded monsters...

You work for the Sky-Faring Commission, so I assume you're aware of its destructive power.

Yes, I am. As an Amicassador, I've been to many planets, and seen my fair share of Stellaron corrosion... *sigh*

Y'know, you sound sweet enough, but you were talking about getting us escorted away by your Cloud Knights. If it weren't for Mr. Yang...

I'd like to see us try, haha... they're extremely heavy. Even with all of us, we wouldn't be able to move one.

Not that I'm doubting your skill, but I'd feel terrible if you hurt yourself in the process.

If I'm not mistaken, the containers in the Trove of Verdure can be moved around using a control panel.
Tingyun
Tingyun
You've already put on quite the show — do you think you'll be able to find and operate the control panel? Should be simple, right?

Right!
Right! So why don't you do it?

We just need to pass through here, take the barge to Starskiff Haven, and we'll be safe.

Head to Starskiff Jetty with Tingyun

Upon arriving at the Xianzhou Luofu, only an empty port welcomes the Express.
Perhaps "empty" is not entirely accurate. Soulless mara-struck monsters are running rampant, and a delicate foxian girl is in danger. How can you let others have the glory of saving a damsel in distress?
It seems the only way to get any answers about the cause of the Luofu's chaotic situation is to leave this place with the foxian girl.

Take a starskiff to Central Starskiff Haven

After rescuing Tingyun, the Amicassador of the Sky-Faring Commission, you go with her and attempt to find an escape vessel in Cloudford, which is currently overrun with the mara-struck. However, strange enemies taking the form of twisted old branches block the way.
After defeating the monsters of unknown origins, Tingyun personally takes the helm and steers you to a safe zone — Central Starskiff Haven.

*sigh* Finally. Look how many tail hairs I lost on the way. Tsk, my beautiful tail...

We had a difficult start, but things got easier. Look, that's the barge I was talking about.

Anyone... got a license for this thing?
Is this... manual or automatic?

Don't fret. All Amicassadors know their way around a starskiff.
