Hey? You okay...? Endmin, he's been shocked senseless. What should we do?
Relax, you're safe now. It's over.
TGCC?
It looks ... legit.
Your capable assistant?
Sure. But we'll keep our eyes on you.
Pat him.
Smartie?
It will expedite our operation. I accept.
Listen up. I'm Operator Chen Qianyu of Endfield, and this is our Endministrator. I hope you like prison food, filthy crook!
WAIT! My friends, I'm a TGCC contract employee! Look! Here's my proof!
Of course! Henry Walton, registered archaeologist of the TGCC, at your service! I am entrusted with the retrieval of Terran technological relics!
What are you on about? This is Yanese turf with Hongshan Academy of Sciences written all over it.
But my friends, do you even know what's buried here? All the knowledge and tech Terran nations once entrusted to Yan!
As the great-grandson of Dr. Indy Walton, former Columbia's plenipotentiary representative on the Supervisory Committee, I am here with official TGCC sponsorship.
I am entitled to create a backup of everything valuable you unearth here! As authorized by this treaty, signed by all Terran nations!
But ... why didn't Xiaowu mention it? No. If you're gonna profit off this, I'd rather end the treasure hunt right now!
Wait! I've got a win-win idea. Since Endfield is a close ally of HAS, I believe we can negotiate a partnership!
I'm injured, but I can send my capable assistant "Smartie" to help you. As for me, I ask only for Columbian relic tech in return. Deal?
Yes! Smartie's that little red rockhowler! With my trusty buddy's help, we're all set to gain from this.
So its name is Smartie... Seems like it'll be a big help. What do you think, Endmin?
Fine. The Endmin has spoken. I'll go along.
A wise choice. I'll have Smartie scout for the next Ancient Sword Stele. Feel free to ask me about anything. And pleasure doing business with you!
Ah! I'm alive! Oh, thank you for saving my skin! Uh, I've scoured a few Wulinger trinkets... Pick one, no! Pick two! Token of my gratitude!
Trinkets? Hold on... What are you doing here?
We're all in the same place so let's not play games. The treasure the Yanese left! That's why we're here. Oh! How about you work for me...
A treasure thief? Perfect. We caught you super red-handed.
