Endmin, you're finally back.
I hope I didn't make you worry too much.
I should have kept you company.
Wait. I thought I "came back" already.
Thankfully, only a few hours have passed. I actually planned to contact Lady Si later today...
Really? When?
It's just one of Si's little tricks. She almost got me.
I think I know what's happened here.
I kept vigil aboard Dijiang for a few hours. I didn't zone out and would have seen you.
...Feels like a lifetime has passed.
I've heard about Lady Si's powers. From what I see, you have been through quite a wondrous journey...
Yes indeed...
Endmin? You feel a little different...
I just figured out a few things.
So what's the next step of our plan?
Working already? You sure you don't need to rest a while longer?
Don't worry about me... I have a dependable crew called Endfielders.
Everyone's raring to go. I'm not going to be your deadweight.
I know you won't.
While you were resting, M3 made contact with us...
She wants you to visit a place once you're ready. Rhodes Island.
Rhodes Island...
Rhodes Island, or more completely as Rhodes Island Pharmaceuticals Incorporated, was the predecessor of Endfield Industries. It was also the leader of all Originium technologies in Talos-II.
When the Terrans first explored Talos-II, they played an instrumental role.
But after the Treaty of Confidence was signed, Rhodes Island, out of strategic considerations, gradually disappeared from public view.
You once fought along their side, Endmin... Also, for the actual creation of Protocol-Originium, Rhodes Island was indispensable.
One might even say, from Terra to Talos-II...
...Rhodes Island is the beginning of everything.
Conflict between the Civilization Band and the "Exiles" is inevitable. The next war ... might be lurking around the corner...
To me, it sounds like the start of an all-new journey.
How about a vacation, Endmin? We can visit our old friends at Wuling.
A truly wondrous journey.
The "spark" ... is yours ... now...
