Even the old timers at the UWST haven't seen any girl hanging around Ropp.

Ropp has a girl? Hmm. I've never seen Ropp talking or hanging out with anyone.

Wait. Since you're helping out Ropp, I happen to have his comm device right here. See if you can use it.

Comm device? That's actually ... a very *personal* belonging...

Hey! I'm not some weird old man! I was part of the Syndicates' security. Everyone who enters the factory area has to deposit their comm devices at the gatehouse. Gotta protect our secrets, you know. And it's an easy job for old, semi-retired boys like me.

Alrighty! Let's see if we can find any useful information!

Ropp dropped this comm device in the wilderness and someone picked it up. The young lad didn't want to take it back and told me I could keep it. I held it here, since I have a feeling he might change his mind eventually.
