Peace is returning to Valley IV.

We shall see our duty till the very end.

How's your body holding up, Endmin?

I'm feeling okay.

I'm doing fine.

You've worked really hard.

The PAC proved its usefulness.

You're pushing yourself too hard.

You've been fighting ever since your awakening. It's not just your memories. Your body's struggling too...

Every time you wake, you would lead us as a true hero. But most people fail to realize *why* you would always return to hibernation.

...How could I not worry?

You're the only one who knows the entirety of the Zeroth Directive, but right now ... we have no choice but to execute the parts we grasp to the best of our abilities.

I kept questioning myself if my decisions would disrupt your plans ... or how I should explain the complexities of the situation to you... Everything happened so fast and so suddenly.

The Aggeloi, the Landbreakers, and the Blight... The scars they left on Valley IV will take quite a while to heal.

If we hadn't deployed the Protocol Automation-Core, this crisis would have dealt us a far more terrible blow... Fortunately, we insisted on pushing the project forward.

You once mentioned that victory with devastating costs is not what you seek.

We shall restore what was damaged in battle, and rebuild what was lost in disaster. The Protocol Automation-Core shall provide the foundation we can build upon. We shall build bridges to each other and unite our strengths.

Valley IV is just the first step of the PAC deployment program. Endfield shall bring it along as we traverse the Civilization Band and explore every corner of Talos-II.

This peace might not last... But for now, let's just gaze upon this burgeoning land.
