Crowe tells you about the UWST rebuilding project.

Valley IV has taken a serious beating. The Power Plateau itself is directly affected by the Æther rift. Blight and anomalous locations are popping up all over the region.

And that's exactly why we're here.

Under general circumstances, we might have to wait for more than a decade for the Æther energy and its effects to dissipate. But we can't afford to wait that long...

More than a decade...?

Firstly, we worked hard to build our homes here. We are not going to give it up. Secondly, we don't know how the Æther would affect the local ecology. This place might change into something else by the time we return.

So we plan to construct a Valley IV Reconstruction Headquarters with local materials. This HQ will provide ecological testing and geological surveillance functions. We have a six-year plan to restore Valley IV to its original state.

That's assuming everything goes smoothly. It also assumes that we can quickly assess the degrees of Æther impact on Valley IV, and successfully complete all testing and analysis.

Even then, we'll still have plenty of difficulties to overcome. The most critical one is that ... we need a specialized large geological probe.

That's the best we can do... The properties and even the forms of matter would change when affected by the Æther. Our shortest estimate would be six years.

And that's also assuming that we have full understanding of Æther infiltration in this area. This is why we must construct a specialized large geological probe.

Indeed. And it's the reason why we need this Caprinae... ahem, I mean this excellent disaster scientist to share her expertise with us.

Finally, the most important key to it all — the productivity offered by the AIC Factory.

Awesome, Endmin. Let's get things started right away.

Prep work for the construction is complete. We've also selected our site for the Reconstruction Headquarters.

Let's deploy the Sub-PAC here, Endmin.

The people here need us.
