You regroup with Rossi.
- Rossi
Endmin! You're here.
- You
Slow down. Tell me what happened first.
- Rossi
This is Royle, and this is the Endmin I've mentioned before. So, Royle, go ahead and tell us what happened. The Endmin can definitely help!
- Royle
Really? Endmin, will you go and save my friends in the team?
- Royle
Okay, okay... So this is what happened. We were one of the first survey teams to be sent out there to look for survivors... There were three of us, me included.
- Royle
We knew the shockwave was a threat, so we got ourselves a twenty-minute window of opportunity. Our task was to identify the danger zones, clear a path, and make things easier for the SAR crew and their rescue work.
- Royle
But ... we were too impatient and pushed too deep... We got really close to an Ankhor.
- Perlica
Close to an Ankhor?
- Royle
Yes... A senior mate of the crew said he saw an Ankhorfall with his own eyes in his last survey run.
- Royle
The barrier blocking the way to the Cradle of the Ages appeared after the Ankhorfall... We thought these two events were related.
- Royle
But then, the Ankhor started giving off shockwaves before we could even get close enough...
- Chen Qianyu
Shockwaves? But you got back without a scratch. How did you pull that off?
- Rossi
That's your key finding, Royle. Show our friends what you've found.
- Royle
I don't know what exactly happened... I just grabbed this branch in a moment of desperation... Here, this one!
- Perlica
An Originium formation shaped like a branch...
- Royle
This branch suddenly glowed and everything around me flashed... I didn't get a clear look of what exactly happened, but it managed to block the shockwave.
- Chen Qianyu
Really? Does that mean we can use this thing to get rid of the Ankhor?
- Perlica
Hmm... No. This branch has gone inert.
- Royle
We just kept running and running, but the shockwaves demolished the road... I-I was the only one ... who made it back...
- Royle
But... But I believe they're still alive! Perhaps they found other branches! Endmin! PLEASE! Please head out there and save them!
- Perlica
I understand how you feel, but we must find a way that can reliably negate the shockwave...
- Perlica
This Originium branch has a very unique structure. The only one capable of molding the crystal into this form is...
- Perlica
The Endmin's memories have not returned. There is no way for us to verify this link.
- Royle
I believe I saw something like this branch! Right in our very own camp!
- Chen Qianyu
Really? If we can get a replacement, we'll be able to get close to the Ankhor.
- Royle
There is a living Originium sapling in the camp, growing on that platform over there. Granny Jenner has been taking care of it for twenty years. She definitely knows something.
- Perlica
A living Originium sapling... Team, there's no time to waste. Let's talk to Granny Jenner. The sapling and the branches will be crucial for our subsequent actions.
- Rossi
I'll take Royle to Surgeon Yue for his checkup.
- Royle
Please! People! Please find my friends out there!
