You meet Fabian Collins who is in charge of the SAR operations in this area.

You're not in the Endfield personnel database... Identify yourself.

Endmin? I guess that explains it...

Identity verified. Supervisor Perlica and Operator Chen, we have to be extremely circumspect given the sudden nature of the attack.

And ... Endministrator, the Security Bureau knows what your presence means for our situation.

The UWST Security Bureau has no records of your information, but this Endfield file has been approved by my superiors. I have faith in your identity.

I believe you're here for that rift in the sky, right?

Yes. We're still investigating the Æther Test Site disaster and must reach the place quickly.

Pursuant to the provisions of the Accord, the UWST is obliged to lend you assistance in your operations.

But my primary task is to search and rescue local survivors. Apologies, but I'm afraid I must stay at my post.

Keep going down this road and you'll reach the Æther Test Site. However, you might encounter masses of Blight on your path.

Thank you for sharing this information. How should we address you?

Fabian Collins.

Mr. Fabian, you look troubled. Has the Science Park suffered major damage?

I don't think the show could get any better. We've already got the Aggeloi, the Blight, and breaker scum in the mix... Who knows. Perhaps another "surprise" is waiting around the corner.

But the fact that you're here proves the road to the Hub is open. That's my first good news of the day.

The Hub Base is relatively safe for now. You can evacuate to that place for shelter.

I can't leave my post just yet. We only managed to evacuate a fraction of our crew.

The Security Bureau has a list of names of everyone in the Science Park.

I've got to verify the status of their personnel, one by one. Plenty of them are still in need of help and rescue.

One more thing. There's a colleague of mine conducting SAR operations up ahead. Her name's Aleeza. You might want to talk to her if you run into trouble.

Good luck out there.

Does that mean you're from the Hongshan Academy of Sciences? Why are you here?

Alright, then. I'll leave this place in your hands. We must be off.
