Archaeologist Aures

- You are carrying too many items to proceed with the quest. -

The old archaeologist has his back toward you, working on something.

You shouldn't disturb him.

[Aures]

Ah, welcome.

I've been waiting for you.

First things first: you should go register with the Central Command Center.

Your name is already on the list. Just go check in with the center.

Or you won't have full access to this area.

Come back when you're done. I'll introduce you to the other members.

Go on.

Ah, you're back.

Say hello to our leader, Ian Atnad.

[Ian Atnad]

...Rookie.

I don't have time for rookies. Send them back!

You're doing it again.

We're old now. We need help!

Stop being so stubborn.

...Hey, rookie.

Did my daughter send you to spy on me?

Tell me!

Hm? Don't you know who my daughter is?

Well, we should leave it that way.

That means you know who my daughter is.

Do you really think you can work with me?

Knowing who I am?

Well, fine.

Let's get to work.

I want to know if you can follow my orders.

Ian, you're helpless.

Well, welcome to the team, young adventurer.

Some of the things we're planning are physically challenging, not to mention dangerous.

Enough. Rookie, come over here.

I'm sorry.

You'd better go.

Don't let him get on your nerves.

Thank you for your patience with Ian.

He wasn't always like that.

He's doing it on purpose.

If you're done with him, I can use your help.

We have one more member in the team.

He went to the Plaza to investigate the remains.

He's a young fellow named Lloyd.

I sent Luke with him to keep him safe,

but I want to know how much progress Lloyd has made with his investigation.

Could you go check up on him?

Thank you.

Lloyd must be somewhere in the Verus Central Plaza.

Look for Luke. He should be near Lloyd.

He's the only young member aside from you.

The rest of the members of our team are as old as me, and couldn't make the trip.

Please take good care of

Lloyd.

How's Lloyd doing?

Ah, so you're helping him.

Thank you

for your hard work.

They're here to work for us.

Stop thanking them.

They're spoiled as it is.

Sigh, would you stop?

*Shaking his head*

He wants to camp there.

Wouldn't it be too dangerous? I guess Luke can keep him safe.

Please come this way.

I wrote a report while waiting for you.

I want you to take it to Commander Louis at the Central Command Center.

This may be a simple errand,

but it gives you an opportunity to get acquainted with the Commander.

We're old, so we don't care about fame. You're different.

Winning favor with Rekenber

can go a long way.

Please take that report to Commander Louis.

Writing a report every day is a chore, but an important chore nonetheless.

I've noticed Louis has been watching us. I hope that's a good sign.

Did you deliver the report?

Good.

You can take a break now.

No, you can't!

You've got work to do!

Come over here, now!

I don't understand him sometimes.

I feel sorry for you.

I wish I could help.

Maybe the other youngsters can give you better advice.

Why don't you consult Lloyd or Luke?

Sigh, he's as stubborn as a mule.

I heard that.

Then stop it

and stop harassing them.

The Eden Group won't be happy if it knows about this.

The Eden Group? *Snort* Who cares?

You're helpless.

I'm really, really sorry about him.

You really should talk to those two.

So you've found some clues, eh?

Hm, even I'm excited.

You came back at the right time.

I've made some progress with my research with the Power Control Devices you brought.

I just finished writing a report about it

along with the energy source that Lloyd is studying.

Here's the report.

Please bring it to Louis

at the Command Center.

Ian is working on Power Control Devices.

Lloyd is working on the power supply for the devices.

Well, that leaves me with the menial task of organizing documents.

Could you help those two?

The quicker we gather research materials, the quicker we can report.

It may be a simple errand,

Winning favor with Rekenber can go a long way.

So let's have you submit reports from now on.

It's time we write another report.

I'll do it after I'm done studying Power Control Devices.
