Talk to Gilbert

📍 Jarilo-VI Silvermane Guard Restricted Zone

Dunn

...I certainly get your point, Gilbert. But this medal of merit is not something I can give to anyone I want.

Dunn

How long have you been in the army, twenty years? Thirty years? Don't you understand this...

Gilbert

Dunn, I took special care of you when you were a new recruit. Now that you've become a captain, how come you are putting on airs with me?

Gilbert

Can't you do me this tiny little favor? Do you want to see me getting laughed at by my wife and daughter...?

Dunn

I've told you many times. It's a matter of principle...

Dunn

...Ah, right on time, here comes {NICKNAME}! What do you make of his request?

Options

Actually, I don't want to meddle...

What happened?

Dunn

...Come on now, you never shy away from giving people a little help.

Dunn

Do you know Gilbert? Yes, him, the oldest logistics officer in the restricted zone.

Dunn

He's about to retire. The way I see it, he should spend the last few months doing what he's been doing and return to the city to reunite with his wife and daughter when he finally retires...

Dunn

But he wants to ask an unreasonable favor from me at a time like this! The geezer wants to borrow a medal of merit, just to look good in front of his family. You tell me, is that reasonable?

Options

Can't you just lend him the medal?

True... It doesn't sound very appropriate.

Dunn

Of course not! What do you think the rules of the Silvermane Guards are for?

Dunn

See, old man! Even {NICKNAME} said so.

Dunn

Besides, don't you have the Veteran Guard Medal from your twentieth anniversary? Isn't that enough honor for you to show off...

Gilbert

Youngster, why don't you understand... You can get one of these just by staying long enough. It is not considered an honor. And it won't bring me any respect...

Dunn

*sigh* You just don't get it, do you?

Options

Can I help with anything?

Why is no one giving me any medal?

Dunn

Yeah, let me think about it...

Dunn

...Remember that time you knocked me out? Consider yourself lucky that you're not sent to court-martial yet, let alone getting a medal...

Dunn

Wait, you reminded me...

Dunn

Yes, I have a good idea!

Dunn

I heard that another automaton "Grizzly" has lost control recently, and is still roaming and wreaking havoc in the restricted zone. Now that there is a shortage of personnel, my subordinates can only maintain control in the surrounding area temporarily and they dare not act rashly.

Dunn

{NICKNAME}, can you take the old man to deal with this problem? When this is done, I can give the credit to Gilbert.

Gilbert

Wh—what a great opportunity! {F#Young lady}{M#Young man}, let's go and take a look!

Defeat the out-of-control Automaton Grizzly

Gilbert

Wh—Whoa! That's one big robot!

Options

You've never seen a model like this before...?

It's nothing I can't handle.

Gilbert

Uh... I spend all of my time on the logistics side of things. I don't really get any chances to see an advanced mechanical war machine like this.

Gilbert

Y—You're that confident?

Gilbert

So... You're going to fight that thing? I...

Gilbert

Ahem... I'm ready! You guys go first. I—I'll support you from behind!

⚔️

Combat

Go back and talk to Dunn

Gilbert and I are back...

Dunn

{NICKNAME}, Gilbert, you're back! I received a report from the Guards that your mission was a success.

Gilbert

Then... that means my medal of service...

Dunn

Of course, old man — I've already finished the paperwork for your medal's application. We should hear back from them next week or so.

Gilbert

R—Really? That's great...

Gilbert

I knew I didn't waste my time taking care of the new generation of soldiers! W—Well then, I'll return to the logistics unit and wait for the good news from you.

Gilbert

...And thank you as well, youngster. If not for you, I would've been doomed to be a laughingstock...

Dunn

*sigh* That old man...

Options

He's too hard on himself...

Is his family that judgmental?

Dunn

That's what I was thinking. After so many years of being apart, his family would not be concerned with these military accolades.

Dunn

I haven't met his wife or child, but... I think they won't care about whether or not he has a medal.

Dunn

But it's not our place to burst his bubble, is it? This is between him and his family.

Dunn

Promise me something, {NICKNAME} — if Gilbert comes to you with another request in the future, do your best to help, okay? He's a good man. I don't want to see him suffer during his last few months of service.

Dunn

Oh right, take these. I know you did all the work in taking down that malfunctioning robot. I can't let you leave empty-handed, now can I?
