- Mehdjina would like you to make a special delivery.
- Tataru Taru's Boutique has its sights set on securing a contract with the interim government of Werlyt, and given your role in the nation's liberation, Mehdjina believes you are the perfect person for the job. Curious yourself as to the present state of affairs in the region, you agree to meet with Gaius in Terncliff and present him with a set of the boutique's finest samples.
-
- ※You may travel to Terncliff by speaking with the Resistance escort in Porta Praetoria.
- You are barely able to introduce the samples to Gaius before he informs you of a more pressing matter─the G-Savior Mark II has been stolen, and by none other than Valens van Varro returned from the dead, according to Avilina. You agree to lend your aid in retrieving the vessel and apprehending the villain.
- Boarding the G-Savior, you steel yourself for the imminent operation, your thoughts briefly returning to the last time you soared these skies to thwart the Diamond Weapon...
- No sooner is the operation underway than a conundrum presents itself: to safely apprehend the G-Savior Mark II, you must either risk destroying the vessel from afar, making it impossible to identify the culprit, or draw near and lose the element of surprise. It is at this most timely of times that Nero tol Scaeva, engineer extraordinaire and former tribunus of the XIVth Legion, interrupts your transmission to present a solution to the problem─the aptly named Anti-G missiles. After launching a barrage of the projectiles, you send the Mark II crashing to the most unlikely of locations─the very spot where Valens was thought to have met his end at the crushing hand of the Diamond Weapon. A belief you quickly discover to be true, as it is revealed that the man bearing Valens's likeness is none other than a former pilus of the now defunct VIIth Legion─a zealot named Procopius, who altered his face to act as the deceased legatus's double. Incapacitating the man to be rid of his wild ravings, Gaius declares the mission complete, and bids you return to Terncliff.
- Expressing his gratitude to you for aiding in the impromptu operation, Gaius would now hear the boutique's proposal in full.
Forename! I've been meaning to speak with you─Mistress Tataru mentioned the most astonishing thing to me earlier. Is it true that you aided in the liberation of Werlyt?
I see... So you fought the Weapons of the VIIth Legion alongside none other than the Black Wolf himself...
Well then, that makes you the perfect candidate for our next job! You see, we're planning to send our latest samples of military equipment to Werlyt's interim government. Since Gaius Baelsar oversees such matters, who better than his <If(PlayerParameter(4))>sister-in-arms<Else/>brother-in-arms</If> to pitch our wares?
Word has it that the Werlyt forces are in the process of choosing a supplier to outfit their troops, so we're keen to throw our hat into the ring. So, would you be willing to assist us?

I'd be happy to.
It would be a good opportunity to speak with Gaius.
|
Wonderful, I can't thank you enough! If my sources are correct, you should be able to find Gaius in Terncliff.
Should you chance upon any potential adornments for Mistress Tataru's necklace, please do bring them back with you!

You may travel to Terncliff by speaking with the Resistance escort in Porta Praetoria, located in the Lochs region of Gyr Abania.
|
I was not expecting you, Forename. Are you perchance aware of the ongoing situation?
| Manual : Insert the correct Q & A's below into a table then delete me
Er... What situation?
Actually, I come bearing a delivery from Tataru Taru's Boutique...
|
I see. Then you are here on some other business, yes?
Samples of military equipment? You have my thanks, but there is a more urgent matter that requires my attention.
I received a report that the G-Savior Mark II has been stolen from the hangar here in Terncliff.
In fact, I am here to speak with an eyewitness. If you are willing, I would like you to join me. Your insight may prove useful.
|
Thank you for coming at such short notice, and with Forename no less.
|
Aye. As luck would have it, he decided to pay us a visit on other business. Owing to our present crisis, however, I had him accompany me here.
Tell me, is it true that Mark II was stolen?
|
I'm afraid so... While I was performing maintenance on the Mark I, I caught sight of a man approaching the Mark II and looking very suspicious.
|
Our culprit, in other words.
|
I called out to him, demanding he state his business here... But when he turned around, my heart nearly jumped out of my chest. The man who stared back at me was Valens van Varro─I am sure of it.
|
Impossible...
He breathed his last before my very eyes. Unless the dead walk among us, that simply cannot be.
|
I only know what I saw... Though he wore a visor, the likeness was unmistakable. Even his magenta armor was identical.
|
Pray forgive the interruption, I bring urgent news!
|
If you're to stand a chance against the G-Savior Mark II, you'll need to fight fire with fire.
Luckily for you, we've already fueled the Mark I, which is ready for dispatch at your command.
|
Even now, I still cannot believe my own eyes. Valens...alive. The very thought of it makes my blood run cold.
|
That the Mark II was seized so easily bespeaks a need to tighten our security. For now, however, we must focus on the task at hand.
|
The G-Savior Mark I's automated piloting systems currently have us cruising towards Garlemald.
If the perpetrator truly is Valens, I am all but certain he is making another attempt to seize the imperial throne.
After all, that is precisely what he hoped to achieve with the Diamond Weapon after the death of Emperor Varis.
But he did not succeed then, nor will he succeed now. I want you to pilot the G-Warrior to make sure of it.
While I am entirely capable of taking the helm myself, I must concede that your skill outshines my own. Instead, I will provide support from the rear cockpit inside the containment apparatus.
Valens may have a head start, but I am confident we will overtake him once we have the engines at maximum output. Then, the rest is up to you, Forename.

My thanks for lending your aid despite the suddenness of my request.
The children will be able to rest easy knowing the impostor has been captured and the vessel reclaimed.
That said, you were here on other business. Let us delay it no further.
