===Head to the Parlor Car to join the navigation meeting===
;(Upon teleporting to the Parlor Car)
: (Trailblazer): (Time to head to the next stop. Let's meet up with everyone in the Parlor Car...)
----
;(Approach the Crew)
: March 7th: Pom-Pom's not here yet?
: Himeko: Pom-Pom knows how to keep people on the edge of their seats.
: Pom-Pom: *ahem* Apologies for the delay, dear passengers. Something important came up, so I, the conductor, had to spend some time preparing!
----
: So... what came up?
:: March 7th: Yeah! What was so important?
: It's rare for the conductor to make an announcement.
:: March 7th: Yeah! What was so important?
: Are we switching routes again?
:: March 7th: Huh? But I only just finished packing my bags!
: Pom-Pom: I thought everyone knew! Our next destination is the Planet of Festivities, Penacony.
: Pom-Pom: I know everyone's eager to disembark and get to that famous stellar hotel, but before we set off, I should remind everyone of three things.
: Pom-Pom: First: Penacony is located in Asdana, a star system brimming with memoria, which has historically been one of the Macro Voids that leaked out from the Memory Zone. Even after eons, the memoria concentration up ahead is above normal levels.
: Pom-Pom: Usually, this wouldn't be a huge problem... but everyone's different, so if you exhibit any signs of dizziness, hallucination, distorted memories or any other symptoms, you should take them seriously!
: Pom-Pom: Second: Penacony is a colony belonging to the Harmony Family — it also marks the first time this Family has extended a public invitation to other factions. Please remember that the Express has been invited as a guest, and that we must adhere to any and all regulations.
: March 7th: Got it! When in Rome, as they say! Don't worry, Conductor, we definitely won't embarrass the Nameless.
: Pom-Pom: Rome? Anyway... Third and final: Rather than being a request... Pom-Pom has a favor to ask of everyone.
: Pom-Pom: If you could, I hope that while you're all on vacation, you could spare some time to help inquire about a few of the Nameless.
: What Nameless?
: Are we getting new crew mates?
: Himeko: Allow me to explain.
: Himeko: Just like most of the worlds that the Express calls at, Penacony is one of the stops along the silver tracks. Several millennia ago, it was an IPC frontier prison, and it was the Trailblaze that connected it to thousands of stars.
: Himeko: During that time, the Astral Express once visited Penacony. As with all meetings, they inevitably lead to goodbyes. As the Express's logs indicate, it seems some passengers decided to call Penacony their permanent home.
: Is this a rare happening?
: Who could be this important?
: It's been so long. Will we still be able to find them?
: Himeko: Don't worry, just think of it as returning to your hometown. Following the Express's departure, the cut off contact to myriad worlds, and Penacony's ownership switched hands several times.
: Himeko: Why did these Nameless choose to stay here? How did the course of their subsequent lives unfold, and what legacies did they leave behind? Retracing our predecessors' footsteps, that is in itself an adventure, wouldn't you agree?
: Himeko: Even if they left the stars behind them, their Trailblaze would not be over. That's also what the conductor thinks, isn't it?
: Himeko: According to the passenger list, the three people who got off were Tiernan, Legwork, and Razalina — the Express's guard, mechanic, and surveyor, respectively. No supplementary details are available.
: March 7th: Just names and occupations? And they don't even sound like their real names either... This will be like looking for a needle in a haystack!
: Himeko: We'll just leave it to the stars of fate. Considering the Nameless' diversity... Perhaps we might even stumble upon their descendants, or, against the slimmest of chances, the very individuals themselves.
: Himeko: We'll conclude today's navigation meeting on this point. There's a bit of time left before we jump. In the meantime, might be a good idea to double-check your bags.
: Pom-Pom: I'll broadcast an announcement before we jump!
===Speak with the Crew (0/4)===
:(Trailblazer): (There's still some time before the jump... I should talk to everyone.)
----
;(Listen to the Interastral Peace Broadcast, optional)
----
;(Talk to Himeko)
: Himeko: (Trailblazer), you're the picture of calm as always. Meanwhile, March 7th's buzzing around like a kid on a sugar rush.
: I'm excited, too!
:: Himeko: I trust Penacony won't let you all down.
: Of course, I'm the mature, adult-type.
:: Himeko: A punchline with a straight face — I suppose that's your specialty.
: Himeko: But, regarding The Family's invitation, I do have some details that I wish to discuss with everyone... just not now. Let's enjoy our vacation for now.
;(Talk to Himeko again, optional)
: Himeko: Let's enjoy ourselves first. Of course, let's not forget Pom-Pom's request either.
----
;(Talk to Welt)
: Welt: How's it going, (Trailblazer)? All packed and ready?
: Welt: There probably won't be any surprises happening on Family territory, which is a bit of a shame if you ask me. But hey, it's rare that we can take a break and let loose. Let's enjoy it.
: Mr. Yang, you look relaxed.
:: Welt: Well, adventures are exhilarating, but rest and recuperation is equally important.
: Mr. Yang, you seem disappointed.
:: Welt: Of course not! Adventures are exhilarating, but rest and recuperation is equally important.
: Welt: Rest and recuperation aside, don't forget Pom-Pom's request. The conductor has done plenty for us, and it's time to return that favor.
;(Talk to Welt again, optional)
: Welt: Rest and recuperation aside, don't forget Pom-Pom's request. The conductor has done plenty for us, and it's time to return that favor.
----
;(Talk to Dan Heng)
: Dan Heng: I spoke to Mr. Yang. I'll be staying on the Express this time. I wish you all a delightful time in Penacony.
: You're not coming?
:: Dan Heng: Thank you, I appreciate the invitation, but I don't like bustling places, and someone has to handle the work on the Express.
: You should come with us, it's such a rare opportunity...
:: Dan Heng: Thank you, I appreciate the invitation, but I don't like bustling places, and someone has to handle the work on the Express.
: I respect your decision. Rest well.
:: Dan Heng: Thank you, (Trailblazer). It's reassuring to know we're on a similar wavelength.
: Dan Heng: Pay no mind to the matters concerning the Xianzhou. Penacony isn't the final stop on our trip. We have plenty of time. Once everything is packed up, I will naturally catch up with all of you.
: Dan Heng: I'd advise double-checking your bags. Word is that The Family's customs procedure can be quite demanding. Better to sort it out now than face issues at your hotel check-in.

;(Talk to March 7th)
: March 7th: Camera, check. Extra clothes, check. Toiletries...
: March 7th: ...Ahh, drat! The travel bottles I ordered haven't arrived. Although, I hear that Penacony's resort hotel is pretty luxurious. I'm guessing their toiletries should be just as fancy.
: March 7th: That means I can make more room in my suitcase. What else should I bring...
: Take some food.
:: March 7th: Good idea! A vacation without munching on-the-go? Unheard of! Mm, but since time-off is a rarity, I'm kinda leaning towards savoring the local dishes...
: Take your Pom-Pom toy.
:: March 7th: My Pom-Pom toy... not a bad idea! That's kinda like bringing the conductor on vacay with me. Ah, but I think it's too big to stuff in the case...
: Take me.
:: March 7th: You won't fit in the suitcase! Can't you walk?
: March 7th: Maybe I should bring some novels or comic books? At least then I won't be too bored while staying in the hotel room. But these books are so heavy...
: March 7th: Oooh this is hard! What else should I take...
;(Talk to March 7th again, optional)
: March 7th: Oooh this is hard! What else should I take...
===Sit on the sofa and prepare for the warp jump===
:(Trailblazer): (It's about time... I should find a seat.)
;(Rest on the sofa)
:Pom-Pom: Ahem, hi, hello~ Attention all passengers.
:Pom-Pom: The Express is about to make the jump — The Express is about to make the jump — Please be seated and hold on!
----
;(Cutscene plays)
::Pom-Pom: The train is about to make the jump!
::Pom-Pom: 5
::Pom-Pom: 4
::Pom-Pom: 3
::Pom-Pom: 2
::Pom-Pom: 1
;(Cutscene ends)
;(Begin The Knocking at Ungodly Hours)
====The Knocking at Ungodly Hours====

===Meet with March 7th===
;(After completing sub-mission The Knocking at Ungodly Hours)
: (Trailblazer): (Is March 7th still packing her luggage...?)
;(Talk to March 7th) 
: March 7th: (Trailblazer), you're up? How's your prep going? Welt and Himeko beat us to the punch, but I stuck around for you. Let's get going.
: March 7th: Mm... Shall we go meet up with them now?
: I'm ready to go.
:: March 7th: Penacony, the Planet of Festivities, the universe's biggest and fanciest amusement park awaits!
: Hold on a moment.
:: March 7th: You left something behind? Hurry up and go get it, I'll wait here for you!
