===Not so long ago...===
;(Idle quote)
:Natasha: The sky of Belobog...
;(Initial interaction)
: Natasha: Not so long ago, I was still wondering whether I'd ever see Belobog's sky again. Now, I'm on a train coasting through the universe...
: Natasha: ...Sorry, it's so beautiful outside... I got a little lost in thought.
: Happens a lot here.
:: Natasha: I almost thought I'd slipped into a fairy tale...
: You'll get used to it.
:: Natasha: I'll come and have a seat here more often, if you don't mind.
: Natasha: When I stand aboard the Express, I can feel that you and I are really the same — manifesting our own futures in this universe to the best of our abilities.
: I think that's what's known as trailblazing.
: Natasha: Mm, everyone's working hard for the bigger picture...
: Natasha: I believe I'll have lots of happy memories here.
: Natasha: Thank you for inviting me aboard the Astral Express, (Trailblazer).

: Natasha: It's just like waiting for Belobog's skies back then... When I stand aboard the Express, I can feel that you and I are really the same — manifesting our own futures in this universe to the best of our abilities.

: Natasha: Mm, everyone's working hard for the bigger picture...

===(Trailblazer), I remember you...===
;(Idle quote)
:Natasha: I really want to see the world outside of Jarilo-VI...
;(Initial interaction)
: Natasha: (Trailblazer), I remember you once said that the Express travels across the universe and visits all kinds of different planets...
: Natasha: I'm thinking... If I have the chance, I'd love to travel with you and see what lies beyond Jarilo-VI.
: Join us anytime!
:: Natasha: Hehe, that's nice of you.
:: Natasha: It's just, people in the Underworld still need a doctor...
: But the Underworld still needs you.
:: Natasha: Hehe, you're right. People still rely on me as their doctor.
: Natasha: Still, I'm looking forward to the day I can join the crew. I'd like to see how other civilizations fight diseases and what Belobog could learn.
: Natasha: Of course, if there is a day when the Underworld doesn't need a doctor like me anymore and everyone lives happily ever after...
: Natasha: ...then perhaps there won't be any reason for me to go on the journey with you after all.

===The last time I was out...===
;(Idle quote)
:Natasha: Talk to the kids about the Express...
;(Initial interaction)
: Natasha: The last time I was out in the field, there was a crying child. I'd seen him before many times at the clinic — he'd heard all my usual stories... But that day, no matter what I said to him, he wouldn't listen.
: Natasha: So I told him about the Express, and eventually he stopped crying and started asking so many questions.
: Natasha: Can you see the Express in Boulder Town? Why does it fly in the sky? Who is the conductor?
: Lemme think how to answer those...
: Natasha: Actually, I didn't need any answers — he made them all up himself.
: Natasha: "The stars exploded, and the Express has to go everywhere to pick up all the pieces, and that's why it flies up in the sky."
: Natasha: "The Express has lots of Express friends, and it wants to find them and play together."
: Natasha: ...Imagination is the source of all existence. Children need only their imagination to understand the Express.
: Natasha: Then next time I'm back in Belobog I'll tell them I boarded the Express, and I'm sure they'll give me a hundred different explanations of how it happened...

===The vast universe and Jarilo-VI...===
 
;(Idle quote)
:Natasha: If only I could record this scene outside the window...
;(Initial interaction)
: Natasha: The vast universe and Jarilo-VI... How could you ever get tired of such an incredible view.
: Natasha: If only there was a way for me to preserve this moment and show it to the kids back home.
: You can use my phone.
:: Natasha: Haha, kind-hearted as usual. It's just...
: I'll go get March's camera!
:: Natasha: Haha, that won't be necessary — I can't imagine March reacting well if her camera went missing. Besides...
: Why not use your phone?
:: Natasha: I could, but...
: Natasha: Phones and cameras capture great beauty, but it never compares to what we see with our own eyes.
: Natasha: For the children in the clinic to truly know the feeling of this view, they'd have to be here to see it themselves.

===Vache...===
 
;(Idle quote)
:Natasha: I wonder how he would feel...
;(Initial interaction)
: Natasha: Vache... if you had the chance to stand here and watch Jarilo-VI from afar...
: Natasha: Oh, it's you, (Trailblazer). Sorry, I was lost in the view — I didn't realize you were here.
: Natasha: Do you remember us walking through the Snow Plains?
: Natasha: This view is nothing like the views in Belobog... If my brother were still alive and standing here on the Express, I wonder what he'd make of all this.
: He'd probably be pretty starstruck.
:: Natasha: Hehe, I agree... It's hard not to be.
: He'd probably still be thinking about his research...
:: Natasha: *sigh* ...That sounds like him alright.
: I'm afraid I can't empathize with him.
:: Natasha: Mm, I don't blame you for that. A disregard for human life doesn't exactly endear you to other humans...
: Natasha: Vache spent his life looking for ways to push past the limits of the human body... but he met a bitter end.
: Natasha: He never realized that human fragility is also the greatest driver of our accomplishments. Our bodies never conquered the cold, but our minds ensured that we never had to. Now we travel the stars...
: Natasha: Human beings really are conflicted life forms...

===Hey, (Trailblazer)! I've been...===
;(Idle quote)
:Natasha: The kids got something for you...
;(Initial interaction)
: Natasha: Hey, (Trailblazer)! I've been looking for you.
: Natasha: So, the children in the clinic heard the story of you and the Express, and immediately insisted on sending a gift to the hero of Belobog.
: Natasha: I say "gift," but it's more like bits and pieces the kids cobbled together. Still, I hope you like it.

;(Subsequent interactions)
: Natasha: Traveling between the stars... Even an adult like me can't help but find it captivating, let alone the children.
: Natasha: It's a shame they're too young to board the Express. Still, your stories of space adventures always put a smile on their face.
: Natasha: So, do let me know when you have more stories to share. I'm sure the kids will love them.
==Open-World==
After completing , Natasha will appear in Natasha's Clinic:
===Voice Lines===
;(Version 1)
:: "Are you hurt? Let me take a look."
;(Version 2)
:: "I wish you all a journey that is free from illness."
===Dialogue===
;(Interactions, prior to completing )
:Natasha: I hope your exploration will make progress, (Trailblazer), and your journey will be free of pain.
:Natasha: Of course, even if you get injured by accident no need to panic. Just leave it to the doctor.
----
;(Subsequent interactions, upon completing )
:Natasha: We meet again, (Trailblazer). How have you been?
:Natasha: With your help, the people here have regained hope. Reopening trade routes with the Overworld has given life new meaning for people who were once struggling just to get by.
:Natasha: Even though there're still many things to fix... it sure is a great start. And it's all thanks to you, Trailblazer.
: Let's talk, Natasha.
::Natasha: You want to talk with me? Any time.
:: How's everyone going down in the Underworld?
:::Natasha: Busy, and well. Not everyone can just get used to all the changes so fast, and some businesses might be impacted by the lifting of the blockade...
:::Natasha: But I haven't heard any complaints at all. I think everyone in the Underworld knows that freedom is hard-earned — and worth cherishing.
:::Natasha: You've rekindled hope for them... for us. You know the saying: "As long as we put in the hard work, life will pay our dividends." I believe that.
:: Have lots of people been getting sick?
:::Natasha: ...The clinic's still packed with patients. Even though there're better medical facilities and more health staff up in the Overworld...
:::Natasha: Most people down from the Underworld can't afford expensive medical bills. And as far as I know... They don't really trust those Overworld doctors.
:::Natasha: I've been talking it over with Mom, and she'll do her best to give medical support for the Underworld people. But will all those patients who're used to my style... be able to make that change?
:::Natasha: Wherever there are people, so there must be pain and sickness. As long as I can still move these arms and legs of mine, I'll keep performing my duty as a doctor.
:: About your brother...
:::Natasha: Ah, Vache. I want to thank you again for that.
:::Natasha: I sometimes get this thought popping up in my head — if I had the chance to go back in time, could I have stopped him from being led astray...
:::Natasha: But such thoughts only last for a second. We can't change the past — we're constantly making choices and mistakes on this one-way journey into the future that we call life... and also taking responsibility for our actions.
:::Natasha: Vache has paid the price for his crimes. Fortunately, he'd turned things around before the end of his life, leaving his research behind for the good of the city.
:::Natasha: For better or for worse, such a life is so complete that I don't have to feel sorry for him anymore.
:: About the future of Wildfire...
:::Natasha: To be honest, after you brought news of the victory, my first reaction was... Wildfire's mission after all these years is finally over.
:::Natasha: There are some things I can't say to our younger members — but with you I can be completely candid.
:::Natasha: The job of maintaining public order down in the Underworld will one day be handed back to the Silvermane Guards. Wildfire came out of the community, and will ultimately return to the community.
:::Natasha: Ah, that all sounds a little sad. However, Wildfire will remain active in the Underworld for the foreseeable future. After all, there's too much trouble out there that needs someone to help handle.
:: Nice chat.
:::Natasha: It's always a pleasure to talk with you, (Trailblazer).
: So long, Natasha.
::Natasha: Goodbye, (Trailblazer). The doors of our clinic will always be wide open for you.
----
;(Included in subsequent interactions, upon completing )
: Are you happy with how the IPC are handling things?
::Natasha: Honestly, ever since the IPC decided to get involved, we've ceased to have any freedom to make our own decisions. If it weren't for the mercy of Miss Topaz, the current situation would be a lot more dire.
::Natasha: Unawed when faced with overwhelming power and malevolence, fighting to get any advantage she can — Bronya has proven her outstanding qualities as a Supreme Guardian. My opinion of her has only improved.
::Natasha: This planet needs time. The rights that Topaz has fought to earn us may not last forever. We need to speed up our progress in case the IPC someday backtracks on its commitments.
::Natasha: Although, there is nothing more comforting than knowing that the fate of Belobog still lays in the hands of its children.
