EventIntro

10 > Eudico

Quick geology lesson: thermal fractures are what you get when you pump too much coolant into the ground too fast. Displaced thermia has to go somewhere. Now we've got thermia fractures threatening to roast Fortuna. Nef can fix this, but he won't… Instead, he's got that mucking Exploiter Orb harvesting the surface thermia for quick profit. Get out there, locate a fracture and I'll help you seal it. Oh, and Sparky; you run into that Exploiter Orb out there, you leg it. Once she ices up, nothing can touch her.

11 > Eudico

Nef's using the Exploiter Orb to mine those fractures. One breach and Fortuna's concourse floods with thermia. We tried taking Exploiter down, back in the day. We… We have to try again, but this time we have to succeed. We don't, it'll be Deck 12 all over again... and I can't have that. Zuud and her sisters built a thermic condenser. Load it with thermia and we can start prepping for a fight.

FractureNoDeepIce

20 > Eudico

Exploiter loads her Raknoids with refined coolant. They need the thermal regulation when harvesting thermia. We can use that coolant to dilute the thermia and seal these fractures. Go crack open a Coolant Raknoid and use its canister on this fracture.

30 > Eudico

We need refined coolant to close the fracture. Find a Coolant Raknoid.

FractureStart

40 > Eudico

You ready? Drop that refined coolant into that fracture to get the party started.

50 > Eudico

If Nef won't do anything about these fractures we'll do it for him. Let's get this fracture sealed.

FractureHarvestDef

60 > Eudico

Keep 'em off the canister while it does its thing.

70 > Eudico

Incoming forces. Protect the canister.

80 > Eudico

Defensive positions. Do not let them destroy the canister.

FractureClosed

90 > Eudico

Done, but there's still coolant in the canister. Grab it and let's find another fracture. This diluted thermia could come in handy.

100 > Eudico

Grab the canister and get to another fracture.

110 > Eudico

Fracture sealed. Let's do it again.

FracturePlanitiaOpen

151 > Eudico

Head to Deck 12 and load the thermia into the Condenser. Then we start planning an attack on Exploiter.

DataProgOne

160 > Eudico

Weird. It's junk data but… strange that it's here of all places. I'll get Zuud to take a look. You never know.

DataProgTwo

170 > Zuud

Yes, Eudico showed me your little discovery. To find meaning in this garbage you do not need a craftsperson, you need a fortune teller. (chatter) I will not… Fine. (chatter) Fine! I will examine your treasure once I have nothing better to do. Which will be never.

DataProgThree

180 > Zuud

What? More? Whatever. Put it with the rest.

DataProgFour

190 > Zuud

More? Why do you bother me with more? (chatter) I do not… (insistent chatter) There is no… (very insistent chatter) FINE! Chatter thinks… believes… these are glyphs. Part of a… part of a passphrase.

200 > Eudico

Passphrase? For what? How'd these get out here?

DataProgFive

210 > Zuud

No. (chatter) No. (insistent chatter) No. (frantic chatter!) No. (comforting chatter)... (sad chatter)

DataProgSix

220 > Eudico

Sparky, you've nearly uncovered the full set. Zuud? Could really use your help right now. What exactly does the passphrase open?

230 > Zuud

You can never go home. We should never go home.

DataProgSeven

240 > Eudico

Sparky, I think I know what that passphrase opens and it's not a place I thought I ever could, or would, want to return to. Look for a gateway in the caves north east of Harindi Crater… You'll know what you're looking for when you find it.

PlanitiaArriveDoor

260 > Zuud

Nnnng… Chatter… Chatter says we must pass through… through that... gateway.  NnnnngAAH! NO!

270 > Eudico

I was afraid of this.

PlanitiaArriveDoorSomeData

280 > Zuud

The words… open this gateway. This gateway… leads to… nnnnnno. NO. They wait for us. Some debts can never be paid. Some debts… we are too small to collect.

290 > Eudico

Zuud. Zuud. Sparky: those glyphs you uncovered are the key to opening this gateway.

PanitiaArriveDoorAllData

300 > Eudico

You have everything you need to figure out the passphrase. Can you unlock this gateway? You know, I come back to Deck 12 most nights, in my dreams. I don't know if I'm ready for this. Open the door. Sorry, Zuud.

PlanitiaEnter

310 > Eudico

Home again. Deck 12. Most of the old SU... never made it out. Legs' folks. And Zuud's sisters. It broke her, you know? We've all tried getting through to her, but… she insists they never existed. Zuud?

320 > Zuud

I hear them. My sisters. Everything they hear… echos from my sisters' ears to my... Mind. One-by-one… I remember them saying... goodbye.

PlanitiaHeistDoor

340 > Zuud

We never thought Nef would trigger fractures here, in Deck 12. They huddle together. Thermia… everywhere. My sisters...

PlanitiaThermic

350 > Zuud

This is... the last, Thing. We made together. Seven minds. All thoughts communal. Before we were reduced to one. A thermic condenser… Wait… Condensed thermia… volatile. Like, melt Exploiters defenses volatile. Finish what we started.

PlanitiaThermicNeedThermia

360 > Zuud

Only problem. We can't make condensed thermia without diluted thermia. So... get us some diluted Thermia.

BossThermiaStart

390 > Zuud

Why can't I remember their names? What was that?

BossIntPOneStart

410 > Exploiter

Solaris. United. You shall not be spared the rod… as those who came before you. Were. Not. Spared.

411 > Zuud

HEY! I remember you. Word of advice… Run while you still got legs.

BossIntPOneFootHint

450 > Zuud

Oh no you don't! Get down here and take what's comin' to you. Blow out her footholds!

BossIntPOneFootRemind

460 > Zuud

Hey! We wanna talk to you! Sparky, be a love and potshot her footing?

461 > Zuud

Her footing, shoot out her blasted footing.

BossIntPOneVentHint

480 > Zuud

Take out her ventilation.

BossIntPOneVentDamage

500 > Zuud

Her vents! Bust'em.

501 > Exploiter

Children, the winter chill invigorates our character and fortifies our bodies.

BossIntPTwoStart

530 > Zuud

Iced her vents? Thinks she's indestructible. Not today. Purging the condenser. How's your throwing arm, Tenno?

BossIntPTwoWalk

540 > Exploiter

Solaris. United. You must be taught what to think, not how to think. Look at me when I'm speaking to you!

BossIntPTwoThermiaHint

560 > Zuud

Lob the canister at her vents. Don't miss.

570 > Zuud

Toss that thermia onto her frozen vents.

BossIntPTwoIceMelt

590 > Zuud

Shields down. Do your thing.

BossIntPTwoVentDestroy

600 > Zuud

Oh yeah! Now she's sweating! Now she's sweating!

601 > Exploiter

Hardship. Builds. Character.

BossIntPTwoSpiders

610 > Exploiter

Children: Mother requests the pleasure of your company.

BossIntPTwoSpiderDeath

620 > Exploiter

NO! Monsters! You kill children?!

640 > Exploiter

Bullies! Bullies are not tolerated in my presence!

650 > Exploiter

AAAAH... unkind… unkind...

BossIntPThreeStart

670 > Exploiter

You will not have me so easily. MY fangs… are fully grown.

BossIntPThreeVentDestroy

690 > Exploiter

My chiiiildrennnn. They did NOTHING to you.

700 > Zuud

My sisters! TELL. ME. THEIR. NAAAAMES!

BossIntPThreeFlee

710 > Exploiter

Come, Children. It is a fine day to visit the city. Burn. Them. All.

720 > Eudico

Fortuna. She's going to attack Fortuna! Her mind has snapped. Get out there and stop her!

BossExtPOneStart

740 > Exploiter

Some fresh, cooling… air… I think… shall do me good…

BossExtPOneSpiders

750 > Exploiter

Attentive children are a joy to all. Attend me, little ones.

760 > Zuud

Call them. Call them, and know what it means to feel them die.

770 > Eudico

Don't let those Raknoid's cool her off. Keep the heat on.

BossExtPTwoStart

800 > Exploiter

DIE!

810 > Eudico

Watch it! She's fracturing the terrain!

820 > Zuud

Tell me and we'll make it quick. What. Were. Their. Names?!

BossExtPTwoStun

830 > Exploiter

There is… We shall… Those who…

840 > Eudico

She's rattled. Quickly: rip off that hatch!

BossExtPTwoPanel

850 > Eudico

Her cognition engine is exposed! Shred it!

860 > Exploiter

We are not at home to visitors!

OrbTaunt

880 > Exploiter

Learn from what I am, Children. Destroy our past to build our future.

890 > Exploiter

To keep your feet upon the ground, I place burdens upon your shoulders.

900 > Exploiter

The unruly require instruction, not sympathy.

910 > Exploiter

Those who intrude at unwanted hours are never welcome.

921 > Exploiter

The disobedient shall not be spared the rod. Solaris United: value the punishment I provide.

922 > Exploiter

We protect our virtue. We safeguard against the rogue.

923 > Exploiter

As Nef Anyo sows, so do we reap.

924 > Exploiter

Thermia, Children. To me. Better out than in.

925 > Exploiter

Obedience is efficient. Efficiency brings Profit. An obedient child profits all.

BossExtPThreeSpiders

891 > Exploiter

Medicine, Children. Mother needs her medicine.

901 > Eudico

Stop those spiders!

BossExtPThreeFracture

911 > Exploiter

If you will not be a model, you shall be an example.

920 > Eudico

Gonna need more thermia!

BossExtPThreeStun

930 > Exploiter

Mother needs to rest her eyes… just... for a moment…

BossExtPThreePanel

940 > Zuud

Rip that panel! Before she comes to!

BossExtPFourStart

950 > Exploiter

Nothing shall replace a child's love for their Mother.

960 > Eudico

Raknoids! Bringing in refined coolant. Don't let them reach the Orb.

BossExtPFourFracture

970 > Exploiter

Division.

981 > Zuud

More thermia! More thermia!

BossExtPFourStun

990 > Exploiter

If… When… I…

BossExtPFourPanel

1000 > Zuud

Kill her.

BossExtPFourCore

1010 > Zuud

She's exposed. Shut her down.

1020 > Exploiter

We shall not suffer disrespect!

1030 > Zuud

Ssh. That's enough.

BossExtPFourDead

1040 > Exploiter

And... so I turn from the tumult of the world... toward home... that sweetest spot... 'neath the circuit... of the sun….

1050 > Eudico

Sparky, get in there! Grab what you can before she goes critical!

1060 > Eudico

She… She's down. Zuud? You did it! Zuud? Zuud, you okay?

1070 > Zuud

Score's paid. Debt's settled. Slate's clear.

1080 > Eudico

You remember them. That's all that matters.

1090 > Zuud

I remember us. You knew us. You know our name.

1100 > Eudico

We've never forgotten. Me, Biz, Smokefinger… any of us.

1110 > Zuud

We had a name. Our name was… Our name was Zuud. (soft Chatter) The Zuud. Thank you. (sweet chatter) Yeah? don't get used to it! The lot of ya.
