Dialogue[]
- Mission DescriptionYou board the Astral Express and become acquainted with a group of companions who may not always get along, but are all at least friendly.
A journey with an unknown destination between the stars is about to begin. Maybe you really did accidentally stumble upon some set of a Sci-Fi movie.
Conductor Pom-Pom announces that the warp jump is about to begin — seeing that you're still new to interstellar travel, best you find a seat and hang on tight.
- (Immediately after completing previous mission)
- March 7th: Conductor, can I get a juice, please? Thank youuuu~
- Pom-Pom: Ugh... We're jumping in five minutes! You can have something to drink when it's over!
- March 7th: ...But I'm thirsty now!
- (Talk to Himeko, optional)
- Jarilo-VI. Himeko: Our next stop is a small planet called
- Himeko: It's been thousands of years since the last time the Express paid a visit. The data bank shows it was a lush and beautiful place.
- Himeko: But after all this time, it's possible that dramatic changes have occurred.
- (Talk to Welt, optional)
- Welt: Jumps are like this: They may feel novel the first few times, but you'll slowly get used to them after a few more.
- Welt: As for the mechanism... Well, if you're interested, I'll explain it to you in detail when we have more time.
- Welt: For now, just sit and wait. Remember to close your eyes — it helps with the dizziness.
- (Investigate door to the Passenger Cabins, optional)
- The door is shut tight...
- Dan Heng locked it?) (Trailblazer): (Hmm... Maybe
- (Talk to March 7th, optional)
- March 7th: Oh, don't worry about me. I just wanna see if I can stay on my feet this time~
- Good luck, I'm rooting for you.
- March 7th: Thanks. I feel like I'm starting to get the hang of it.
- March 7th: The key is using your core, waist, and leg muscles. It's not your stance that matters, but your ability to ride the inertia...
- Don't hurt yourself.
- March 7th: It's fine, I'm sturdier than I look~ Besides, the ice will protect me.
- March 7th: When I'm in danger, I instinctively create ice to protect myself.
- March 7th: ...Though sometimes falling on the ice actually hurts more than falling on the ground.
- Why do you make things hard for yourself?
- March 7th: Don't be silly — this is fun!
- March 7th: I like keeping busy, otherwise I start obsessing over... pointless things.
- March 7th: Well, don't mind me. Find a place to sit down and buckle up.
- (Interact with sofa)
- A very comfortable sofa... Feels like you'll fall right to sleep after sitting on it.
- Hold on tight and wait for the jump to finish.
- (Continue with cutscene below)
- Talk to other companions.
- (Cutscene plays)
-
- Pom-Pom: Hello? Hello hello?
- Pom-Pom: All passengers, please return to your seats.
- March 7th: ...I won't fall over! I won't fall over!
- Pom-Pom: The train is about to make the jump!
- Pom-Pom: Hold on, everyone!
- Pom-Pom: 5
- Pom-Pom: 4
- Pom-Pom: 3
- Pom-Pom: 2
- Pom-Pom: 1
- (Cutscene ends)
- Himeko: After all those millennia... is this what Jarilo-VI has become?
- March 7th: Huh? So that snowy planet is our destination this time?
- Himeko: Yes... Looks like this trailblazing expedition won't be easy.
- Pom-Pom: Spatial readout anomaly! Star rail stability is down to 12%!
- Pom-Pom: Schedule alteration: Seven-day stopover time extended indefinitely!
- Anomaly?
- Himeko: The complex locality of this world has been... affected somehow. The star rail has been blocked off by something.
- Himeko: Take an ordinary train as an example: It's like the tracks up ahead have suddenly snapped, and the way forward leads straight into a collapsing abyss...
- Himeko: The only sensible thing to do would be to brake hard, right?
- Indefinitely?
- Pom-Pom: Indefinitely. Until the anomaly is removed!
- Himeko: Take an ordinary train as an example: It's like the tracks up ahead have suddenly snapped, and the way forward leads straight into a collapsing abyss...
- Himeko: The only sensible thing to do would be to brake hard, right?
- Pom-Pom: If we try to force our way ahead, there could be a hefty price to pay!
- March 7th: This again... Don't tell me, it's gotta be...
- Stellaron, as always. Welt: The results of the preliminary analysis are here — the anomaly stems from a
- Stellaron...
- Welt: Yes, (Trailblazer) — just like the one that's been placed into your body.
- What should we do...
- Himeko: Don't worry. It's not the first time our route has been obstructed by a Stellaron.
- Herta isn't able to fully understand them... but at least we know how to neutralize their influences. Himeko: Stellarons are clouded in mystery — even
- What exactly is a Stellaron?
- Himeko: Stellarons are clouded in mystery — even Herta isn't able to fully understand them...
- Himeko: But there's no need to worry — this isn't the first time our route has been obstructed by a Stellaron. Even if we don't know much about them, at least we know how to neutralize their influences.
- Fragmentums. Welt: The only thing we can say for sure is that their arrival causes massive changes to civilizations and ecosystems. They also generate distortions in space such as
- Welt: There must be an inextricable connection between the Stellaron we're dealing with here, and Jarilo-VI becoming a frozen planet.
- Aeon throughout the universe. We can't continue to trailblaze without removing the source of the disaster. Himeko: Our current theory is that Stellarons are seeds of disaster planted by a certain
- So you're saying...
- March 7th: That we've gotta get busy!
- Why can't the people in the worlds affected save themselves?
- Welt: It's empowering, looking out at a world from a window like this...
- Welt: ...but when you set foot on the planet itself, you realize how small and helpless you really are — just like them.
- So we're like a chivalrous band of cosmic knights!
- March 7th: Right! You finally get what we're all about. Pretty cool, huh?
- Himeko: (Trailblazer), I'd like to entrust this trailblazing expedition to March, Dan Heng, and you.
- Himeko: The objective is clear: Find the Stellaron responsible for the disaster and the spatial distortions, and bring it back to the Express. We'll deal with the rest.
- March 7th: Awesome! We get to work as a team again, (Trailblazer)!
- You're not coming?
- Himeko: Someone has to stay on the train, or Pom-Pom will get lonely.
- Nanook threw us a glance just now. If we're targeted by the Antimatter Legion, then things could go south fast. Himeko: Not to mention,
- Why us?
- Himeko: Because you three made a great team back in the space station. My guess is that if you spend even longer together, we'll see something even more impressive.
- I'm kinda sleepy...
- March 7th: Hey! That's not the spirit!
- Welt: So it's still not our turn...
- Himeko: I know you really want to go, but we should give the youngsters a chance to get out there on their own. It'll be a good opportunity for them to bond.
- Himeko: (Trailblazer), March, if you two are ready, why not go and find Dan Heng?
- Himeko: He's probably already started collating the ecological data and survey results for Jarilo-VI. It's always good to know more about the destination before you start a journey.
