Hinkel
Well, I might be the Department of Ecology head, but I'm not the most knowledgeable person when it comes to Curios.
Hinkel
People are growing more and more distrustful of the management here. It's probably turned into a big headache for Asta too.
Hinkel
*sigh* Never mind, I shouldn't be telling you this. It's something that we researchers need to resolve ourselves. Pretend I didn't say anything.

{TEXTJOIN#70}=Herta assigned me to find a certain lost Curio that has very abstract traits. It seems that I may need Asta's help.
Seek assistance from Asta
📍 Herta Space Station Base Zone
Asta, who manages the space station, should be able to provide some clues
{TEXTJOIN#71}=\n\nI found Asta, but she didn't seem to know much about it. Fortunately, <color=#dbc291ff>Hinkel of the Department of Ecology</color> and someone from the Department of Insight are nearby, which is more or less a clue.
{NICKNAME}
(Asta seems to have mentioned two names... two researchers from the Departments of Ecology and Insight...)
Recall the content of the conversation with Hinkel
Asta doesn't seem to have any clues either. Thankfully, Hinkel from the Department of Ecology is nearby.
Hinkel
Those despicable villains are distorting the truth online!
Hinkel
If I discover who's behind this... they're going to wish they'd never crossed me!

(Ask for clues about the lost Curio)
Hinkel
A Curio that's alive but doesn't have a body? Isn't that just a Jinx?
Options
Jinx...?
Hinkel
Oh, nowadays, people call them Wubbaboos.
Options
A Wubbaboo... That doesn't sound right.
Hinkel
Well, I might be the Department of Ecology head, but I'm not the most knowledgeable person when it comes to Curios.
Hinkel
Adler would be of more help, but he's been investigating some paranormal phenomenon. I haven't seen him all day.
Options
So not only do I have to find a Curio, I have to find a person too?
Hinkel
I must say, it's a little embarrassing for the space station to be in such disarray while guests are visiting.
Hinkel
We've been through a huge crisis and are still recovering... but there are some who are trying to exploit the chaos to agitate the workforce.
Hinkel
People are growing more and more distrustful of the management here. It's probably turned into a big headache for Asta too.

{TEXTJOIN#74}=\n\nHinkel is troubled by the confidence crisis within the space station. We had a brief chat, and she speculated that what Herta is looking for is a Wubbaboo, but this isn't certain yet. In the end, <color=#dbc291ff>Hinkel recommended me to look for Adler</color>. Apparently he is the person who knows the most about Curios in the Department of Ecology.

{TEXTJOIN#77}=\n\nI ran into Arlan on my way to find Adler. He seemed to be looking for Adler too, so I decided to go with him.
Arlan
Careful, the Fragmentum in this area is very unstable.
Arlan
Why are you looking for Adler?
Arlan
...A lost Curio? I see. He'll be able to help.
Visit little Adler
Due to Hinkel's recommendations, you decide to visit Adler. However, others seem to be looking for him too.
Recall the content of the conversation with Adler
See what Adler has to say about Herta's commission.
Adler
So, which Curio do you wanna know about?
Options
One that has no body, but is alive.
Adler
That's all you got? Too abstract.
Options
That's all Herta said.
Adler
Well, there's beauty in the abstract I guess.
Adler
Have you asked the Department of Ecology head?
Options
She said it might be a Wubbaboo.
Adler
She's not wrong... but that doesn't feel entirely right either.
Options
I heard something like that also exists in the ■■■■.

Adler
Huh, now that you mention it... I have a wild hypothesis, but it needs verifying.

(Adler seems to have gotten a lead, but... what was the information I forgot? And from whom?)
{TEXTJOIN#78}=\n\nAdler was saved by us when he was attacked. I stated our purpose, and he seemed to have an epiphany from my words. <color=#dbc291ff>I think I understood something from the words of someone Asta mentioned before.</color>

Recall once more the content of your conversation with Asta
📍 Herta Space Station Base Zone
You seemed to have talked with Asta about something else after receiving Hinkel's recommendations. Try to remember it.

Asta
I see. Is that what Hinkel and ■■■ think? At least that counts as a lead.
Asta
See? My researchers are pretty outstanding.
Options
I heard you're in a bit of trouble.
You seem a little anxious?
Asta
Just business as usual, nothing to worry about.
Asta
Anxious? Me? Is it that obvious...?
Asta
...After the Legion's invasion, the space station has been under constant scrutiny. Physical damage can be easily repaired, but it takes a long time to heal the wounds in people's hearts.
Asta
Some researchers have been questioning the management and security of the space station ever since the invasion.
Asta
Things had settled down a bit with the reconstruction efforts, but the researchers' disappearances have rattled them again.
Options
Researchers' disappearances?
Asta
Yes. Four researchers have inexplicably disappeared in a matter of days. No exit logs, no traces — vanished.
Asta
People were just starting to regain their footing after the catastrophe. I didn't want panic to spread, so I suppressed the reports and told the Security Department to investigate in secret.
Asta
However, as you can see, it's hard to keep secrets in a sardine can like this.
Asta
Rebuilding trust is harder than establishing it in the first place... I'm concerned someone's pulling strings to sway public opinion.
Asta
Anyway, the most important thing is to get to the bottom of the disappearances.
Options
Do you need my help?
Asta
That's okay, but thank you for the offer. Aren't you helping Madam Herta with something already?
Asta
By the way, I heard about the thing ■■■ mentioned, and I'll look into it, too. I'll find a way to solve the problem for the space station.

...I'll be honest with you — it's been tough. The surveillance didn't capture anything regarding the researchers' disappearance.
Arlan
There's only one clue. Adler observed that the automatic fire-suppression system was momentarily activated around the time the disappearances occurred.
Arlan
That means that every victim's disappearance was accompanied by some inexplicable fire. When we made visits to the scenes, some of the witness testimonies seemed to agree with this...
Arlan
The words they used were... spontaneous combustion of the human body.
