*A few days later...
 	
*Elise: ! You're here bright and early.
 	
*Elise: Here you go! Your shiny new Hunter's License!
 	
*The metal card has your name and identification engraved onto it.
*In one corner are the words "Orebus Special Inquiry", and underneath it, "Hunter."
 	
*Giselle: Everything went smoothly, I presume?
*Giselle: Well then, let's get everyone up to speed.
 	
*Noel pulls out a large map from a scroll case and sets it down on the table, along with a multitude of pins and tokens.
*Noel: After a few scouting teams informed us they'd cleared out paths to the lowlands,
*Noel: Giselle and I have been conducting more research into Orebus.
*Noel: We know that there was a civilization here long ago that degenerated into civil war...
*Noel: But their abrupt disappearance is a mystery we know very little about.
 	
*Giselle: Now that you've brought back reports and evidence of abandoned Guardians, we've got more data to work off.
 	
*Giselle: It's a pretty startling revelation, if I may say so myself.
 	
*Giselle: That's why we've decided to set up the Orebus Special Inquiry.
*Giselle: To start off, the scouts had also returned with fragments of some sort of recording device.
*Giselle: We think they might've been used by the inhabitants to note down important proceedings.
 	
*Giselle: Or it could be their personal diaries. "I love so-and-so! I despise today's curry!" Who knows?
 	
*Giselle: Most of them were too worn to be of any use, but I'm certain there are some intact ones lying around.
 	
*Giselle: And that's where those abandoned Guardians come in!
 	
*Noel: Guilds rise and fall all the time in Orebus, but Guardians are even more of an expendable resource.
*Noel: When its associated guild has been completely destroyed, there's nothing left for a Guardian to protect.
*Noel: Like any sentient creature, they will seek to sustain themselves—on energy.
*Noel: Those you've encountered have been driven to the lowlands, where they consume debris,
*Noel: eventually exhibiting a preference for energy-rich deposits to accommodate their growing appetites.
 	
*Giselle: Do you see where we're getting at, ?
 	
*Giselle: They're our ticket to finding those devices! We'll call them "Battle Logs" for now.
 	
*Giselle: In fact, we've already started picking up signals to a particularly large Guardian skulking around this area.
*Giselle taps a finger on a desert-like zone on the map.
*Giselle: We're not sure why it's giving off signals in the first place, but we're hoping you can find out for us.
 	
*Giselle: Ugh. I hope it hasn't digested the device. That'll be nasty.
 	
*Noel: That's about it for the briefing.
*Noel: With your help, we're hoping to unravel the reasons behind the disappearances with these devices.
*Noel: Elise will be handling logistics and serve as a contact to the Summoners' Hall, so she'll be coming on site with us as well.
 	
*Elise: Glad to be on board!
*Elise: The results of the Hunter's License promotion trials were very encouraging,
*Elise: and we're hoping to open the rank to other Summoners soon.
*Elise: That way, the Inquiry will be able to form a greater task force.
 	
*Elise: I'll be in charge of all formal requests and paperwork to be filed regarding the Orebus Special Inquiry,
*Elise: so be sure to look for me when you're heading out into the field.
 	
*Giselle: This is going to be so much fun. Almost as interesting as my vacation to Karcosa!
*Giselle: I'll tell you about that some other time. Promise.
 	
*Giselle: Make sure you get some rest before you descend into the dark depths of deathly debris!
 	
*Noel: We'll be counting on you, .
 	
*Elise: See you soon!
