You and Cynthia fail to find out why the Aggeloi are gathering.

But we don't know why the Aggeloi are gathering abnormally.

Let me talk to them if that's possible.

Rumors?

I was aboard Dijiang not too long ago.

They should trust me. I did save them from the Aggeloi.

That is just a baseless accusation. I've never heard about the Aggeloi being attracted to our facilities... But the numbers of Aggeloi in the vicinity are strange indeed.

How about making a list? You know, things you can only find here, not anywhere else on the base? Then we can go through the list one by one.

Well, we have plenty of things like that around here. But if they could attract the Aggeloi, it would have happened ages ago.

Oh. There's a new pulse generator that just arrived. It's probably still running. We just assembled the instrument but never had time to pay attention to it.

I just performed a scan. Aggeloid activity did not change... Okay, I guess that wasn't the cause.

Sounds like a great idea... Wait. You actually know Andre? I've never seen you in the Hub Base before.

Wait! Does that mean you're the ... Endministrator?! Oh by Talos! I should've recognized you! I was too preoccupied with our problems.

Director Qin?! What brings you here?

You didn't respond for a while. I was getting worried, so I thought I'd drop by to check.

But since our ... Endministrator is around, I believe the problem is now history.

The Aggeloi tend to focus on the activity of nearby organisms. Nevertheless, this particular Ankhorfall happened to be unusually destructive. It would be a stretch to claim there's nothing special about it.

No matter what the cause is, we have a spreading rumor. It claims that Endfield testing has led to the Aggeloid problem.

*Sigh*. We got hit by an unexpected disaster. People are bound to panic and get suspicious.

Endmin, I have a team shipping a batch of disaster relief supplies to this place. But I need someone to do the explaining and stop the rumors. It must be someone that the locals are willing to trust.

Thank you so much for helping, Endmin! So, I guess we'll meet you at the base.
