Endmin, you've returned.
Everyone worked hard to make it happen.
Yeah, but since Alleikhreos has returned to Talos-II, they must have got this planet's coordinates pegged.
I'm happy we could help.
I don't know who'd be faster... Us, or the Foundation.
The "Exiles"... What exactly is the "Foundation"?
I suppose Ardashir mentioned it to you.
During that battle over a century ago, you banished them to the Ætherside with your special powers and ended the war.
To think that mighty Alleikhreos is but a mere...
See...! Æther energy this weak never affected your body before.
I understand. And what about you?
The opportunity will come, Endmin.
Yeah... She told me to get prepared, and that she'll come looking for me...
She left out all the details?! Why is she so careless? Who did she take after... Ugh, I think they're all alike.
Perlica has synced every last bit of detail. Great job out there for the Wuling expedition.
Yeah... He did.
The Foundation is the creator of the Ankhors and Aggeloi. They command the enemies of Terra...
...but were once the wardens of the Precursors.
No. He's just their "construct", or "soldier". Foundation specifically refers to "several individuals".
Ah... I actually planned to tell you about this later on.
I thought I could let you hang around Perlica like an ordinary operator, and spend a year or two enjoying the Endfield life.
No disrespect intended, but we gotta keep you safe. The enemies of old are just way too powerful for you in your current state.
Did Si talk to you? What did she say?
But she never told me when.
Okay, you must inform Perlica if you feel unwell. The girl's totally worthy of your trust.
I don't think we had a proper dialog ever since my awakening... I'm sorry but I don't know much about you.
Alright, go hit the bunk. You just fought a huge battle, and I kept blabbering at you nonstop. Sorry about that.
No matter what we're going to face, don't feel crushed by it. You are not alone, Endmin.
So, that Alleikhreos is part of the Foundation?
Do a few operations, build a few AIC Factories for the Zeroth Directive, and go on a tour of Talos-II...
Endfield is by your side.
They believe the Terran Civilization must be enslaved to fulfill their boring goals. And we just decided to fight back.
