Find Molly and ask about the malfunctioning robots

📍 Jarilo-VI Silvermane Guard Restricted Zone

🏃‍♂️

Move

Researcher

Well... Um... relax...

Molly

So? What did you do with those defective robots?

Researcher

Ahem... well...

Molly

Come on! What are you squirming around for?

Researcher

The worker in charge of arms management forgot to report the defective units to the commanding officer...

Researcher

Those robots may have already been deployed to the restricted zone.

Molly

WHAT!?

Researcher

Don't get angry! I have written a report of this incident and submitted it to management...We just need to wait for them to send someone to deal with it!

Researcher

But you know what our approval system is like... Until then, we can't really do anything.

Molly

We can't just wait here and do nothing! There will be big trouble if we don't deal with this now! How can you just sit around so calmly!?

Researcher

You are right... But we are just small potatoes. There is no way we can deal with those crazy robots...

Molly

Argh! This makes me so angry... Where are the Garrison people? They are to blame for the restricted zone receiving this batch of subpar garbage since they didn't do enough quality control! Shouldn't those people come forward and provide us an explanation?

Researcher

Well... I've contacted them but no matter what I say, they just blame it on the Technology Division, saying that they're unreliable and the Garrison had nothing to do with it. Which means we have to deal with it ourselves...

Molly

That's ridiculous! How can they shirk their responsibility like that?

Options

Do you need a hand?

(Ignore their quarrel)

Molly

Huh? Which department are you from?

Options

We met in the city before...

A kindhearted passerby.

Molly

We did? I don't remember you at all.

Molly

Humph! A kindhearted passerby in this place? I doubt it.

Molly

Wait! You are... aren't you the "Outsider" on the warrant that the Architects were so desperate to apprehend not so long ago?

Molly

But this is a military restricted zone, and not even a snow mouse is supposed to be able to enter... How did you manage to get in?

Molly

Oh, whatever! If you can put up a fight against the Silvermane Guards, those crazy robots must just be a piece of cake for you, right?

Molly

Listen! I have something very urgent that I need your help with. It's a matter of life and death!

Options

You trust me?

Saving people is my passion.

Molly

What else can I do? Look at these guys. All of them are useless scrubs!

Researcher

That's a bit harsh...

Molly

Easier said than done! I hope you're really that reliable.

Molly

Let me give you a rundown first... So, last month, the Garrison ordered a batch of guardbots. And at the time, the manufacturing team was so overstretched that there was no other option but to outsource some workloads to a private manufacturer in the city.

Molly

And it turns out that this batch of robots is simply subpar, and there is a real danger that they could go out of control.

Molly

I guess you've already heard what happened afterwards, so I'll say no more. In short, I hope you can deal with those out of control robots as soon as possible and take back their "Core Modules"!

Molly

I don't care how you do it... Electromagnetic interference, remote control, or simply smashing them to pieces! They are useless anyway...

Molly

I've marked the general location of those robots. Hurry up! We don't have much time left!

Report to Molly

Pela

We should take a moment to think this through — who is involved in the quality control process for this outsourcing project? Tell me all the names you can think of.

Researcher

M—Miss Sergeynia, I am just a researcher here, I don't know as much as you think...

Pela

Sigh... Firstly, my last name is Sergeyevna. Secondly, you don't have to patronize me. Just call me Pela. I don't care if you call me "Officer" or not.

Pela

I only care about handling this incident properly and efficiently, and that depends on whether you can give me useful information. Don't waste our time!

Researcher

Eh... I think... Um...

Options

Oh...What happened here?

I'm all done! Where is Molly?

Missss~ Pelaaaa~!

Researcher

Oh... You are here! Well, just wait a moment...

Pela

Looks like you're keeping quite a lot of things from me... like this {M#gentleman}{F#lady} here who suddenly appeared in the military restricted zone...

Researcher

Oh... You are here! Well... Molly...

Pela

Looks like you're keeping quite a lot of things from me... like this {M#gentleman}{F#lady} here who suddenly appeared in the military restricted zone... also that Molly...

Pela

Please don't call my name like that...

Pela

Why are you here? This is strange...

Pela

How come it's you again...?

Pela

Gepard did tell me not to make things difficult for the "outsider"... but the Silvermane Guard Restricted Zone isn't just somewhere I can let you hang around.

Options

I am here to deal with those defective robots.

I just did what a good citizen would do...

Pela

Then this time you can't just say it's none of your business... Be honest and tell me the truth!

Pela

Hey... But you do know that it's still illegal for a good citizen to enter the military restricted zone, right?

Pela

However, since you are here... you must have something to do with this. Be honest and tell me the truth!

System

Under Pela's interrogation, you confessed everything...

Pela

Ah... I understand now. It is more or less as I surmised... Since Miss Molly and you are involved in this incident, then everything makes sense now.

Pela

As to those "Core Modules"... hand them to me first.

- Core Module x 3

Look for Molly in Belobog Administrative District

📍 Jarilo-VI Administrative District

Molly

*sigh*

Pela

You must be Molly from the Technology Division. How are things going?

Molly

Leave me alone! So annoying!

Molly

Huh? Oh, you're Officer Pela... I'm sorry, I—I'm in the middle of an emergency... I am very sorry!

Molly

Ah, you're here as well, I see... Have those defective robots been dealt with?

Options

All done. No one was hurt.

Did anyone in your family get hurt?

Molly

That's good...

Molly

No, wait. Why should it have anything to do with me? All I ended up doing was just cleaning up the mess left behind by those guys... Why should I worry so much for them? It's not like it's my fault!

Options

Did anyone in your family get hurt?

Molly

... Forget it. Why do I care whether they live or die?

Molly

Family? Oh, is this what you two are here for? Fortunately, I live alone, and no one else got hurt.

Molly

I was waiting for your update at the arsenal just now, and those people came to me. They said that I went too far this time, so they gave me a warning... I realized something was wrong, so I ran home as fast as I could —

Molly

By the time I got home, the whole house had been turned upside down by them! All the valuables, and even the worthless stuff are gone... Everything. Gone. They took everything!

Molly

They even wrote insults all over the doors, windows, and walls —

Molly

But I can't do anything about it! Am I supposed to just let them get away with it... Can't anyone hold them accountable for their actions?

Molly

Why... I was just doing my job! Why do I have to be humiliated? What did I do wrong!?

Options

(Let her cry and vent.)

We'll help you take back what is rightfully yours.

Molly

Darn it! Is there no justice in this world? *sobbing*...

Options

We'll help you take back what is rightfully yours.

Molly

This happened all because of me. You don't have to do that... I just need to blow off some steam...

Pela

Don't be afraid, Miss Molly... This isn't your fault. Just let us handle this from now on. We the Silvermane Guards are now officially on this case. For now, it's best for you not to directly confront those thugs since they've just shown they are not shy about using violence.

Pela

Oh, another thing, you can rest assured that we the Silvermane Guards will never let you go homeless. You can... um... seek temporary shelter in the Neverwinter workshop for now.

Pela

The owner of the workshop can ensure your safety. Just say my name when you meet her.

Molly

... But I want to go with you! I want to see those gang of thugs brought to justice with my own eyes...

Pela

...It's just too risky. Your security must be our top priority. I'll arrange to have your house fixed later. For the time being, please just focus on protecting yourself in case of further reprisals.

Molly

Pela

Huh? Why is Molly here? And she got here before us?

Molly

...I knew it was you guys who did it! Have you all ever thought about what happens if people die from those defective robots?

Corrupt Silvermane Guard

What happens? Hmph, I'll tell you... even if something really happens, your Technology Division will take the blame!

Molly

You...

Corrupt Silvermane Guard

Come on, Molly! I have warned you many times to keep your mouth shut about the things in the restricted zone. You know how it goes, you scratch our backs and we will scratch yours...

Molly

...

Pela

...Looks like she's in trouble. Quick! Let's check it out!

Help Molly defeat the corrupt Guards

Corrupt Silvermane Guard

Give it up, little girl... You think you alone can put an end to all of Belobog's shady dealings between its military and its merchants? This is so much bigger than you could possibly imagine.

Corrupt Silvermane Guard

All we've done so far is just a little "do-over" of your house, but if you ever provoke the ire of those higher-ups... You won't even dare to think about the consequences!

Molly

Shut up, scum!

Calm down...

For the sake of Miss Sergeyevna...

Pela

You... *sigh*... Never mind...

Pela

That's enough! Put your weapons down and put your hands up! Quick!

Corrupt Silvermane Guard

Wh... what happened!?

Corrupt Silvermane Guard

Oh... I get it! Good one, little girl... you found someone to help, did you?

Corrupt Silvermane Guard

Hmph... Unfortunately, they are only two weaklings! Let me tell you, even if the captain himself were here, I wouldn't be scared off!

Pela

Wow... It seems you aren't taking me seriously at all. I am an intelligence officer! This is a major case, and I just might have to put it on my agenda!

Pela

Let's kick their butt, {NICKNAME}! No need to hold back! As you know, the Silvermane Guards have first-class medical support.
