===Find Arlan and listen to the space station's star echo remnants===
;(Talk to Arlan)
:Arlan: Arlan, head of security, reporting to... Oh, it's you, (Trailblazer). Sorry, I didn't recognize you at first.
:Arlan: I was just thinking about ways to improve the Security Department's emergency response training. After all, this is also an important part of Project Revival. If the Legion dares to attack us again, I don't want to make things easier for them!
: Project Revival?
::Arlan: Well, Project Revival is a set of post-disaster operational protocols that Lady Asta and the heads of the five departments collaboratively developed, using data gathered about the damage sustained by the space station.
: Wow, how proactive!
::Arlan: That's because I have a lot of faith in Lady Asta!
::Arlan: Project Revival is a set of post-disaster operational protocols that Lady Asta and the heads of the five departments collaboratively developed, using data gathered about the damage sustained by the space station.
:Arlan: It also involves many other confidential initiatives, such as the Curio Collection Squad, security zoning, and the Interastral Peace Corporation's damage assessment.
: Curio Collection...what?
::Arlan: Curio Collection Squad, security zoning, and the damage assessment Interastral Peace Corporation are all part of Project Revival.
: Sounds very organized.
::Arlan: Well, it's all due to the clear thinking and proper planning by Lady Asta and the heads of the various departments.
:Arlan: But the implementation of Project Revival is not easy, and Lady Asta believes that the number of personnel needed exceeds our previous estimates.
:Arlan: Sorry if it seems to come out of nowhere, but (Trailblazer), would you like to help?
:Arlan: You protected me in the past when we battled those Legion monsters, (Trailblazer). You are truly a trustworthy comrade.
:Arlan: That's why I immediately thought of seeking your help.
: How come you never have anything good for me?
::Arlan: Huh? Isn't this a good thing?
: Please just order me around as you please!
::Arlan: This is not an "order" at all... If you are willing to help, we'd really appreciate it.
:Arlan: It's nothing too difficult, really. The department staff are busy with Project Revival. Can you please go to to see if they need ?
:Arlan: By the way, here is your commission fee. A total of 648...
:Arlan: I—I'm not sure how much I should offer you... Since my living expenses are all already covered by the space station, I have no idea how much money is worth.
: I won't charge you anything.
: We can't put a price on our friendship.
: 648 is a huge sum of money!
:Arlan: Hopefully, with your help in Project Revival, Lady Asta will finally get a good night's sleep.

;(Message from Abraham, Arlan, Asta, Trailblazer, Wen Mingde Group Chat immediately opens)
:
===Head to the base zone and help the researcher in need===
;(Talk to Abraham)
:Abraham: P—Please rest assured that this zone is now completely under the con—control of the Curio Collection Squad!
: Why is your voice shaking?
::Abraham: Shaking? It i—is not. You must've misheard.
::Abraham: Phew, phew... Calm down, Abraham. As a member of the Curio Collection Squad, you must always stay calm.
::Abraham: Fear, if picked up by others, will not only make everyone distrust you, but also ruin your chance to avenge Alfred.
: I remember you. You are that guy who is morbidly scared of death.
::Abraham: Remember me? I—I also remember you... But now I'm not a—afraid of death anymore...
::Abraham: The friends who had once stood by my side day and night have already taken the lead in entering the eternal night, and yet I'm still here, not knowing when my life will end.
::Abraham: Life is but a path to death, but not today.
::Abraham: I don't want to die at the hands of those monsters until I avenge Alfred!
:Abraham: Mrs. Hinkel transferred me here from the Obstacle Detection Terminal so that I could follow the lead of Wen Mingde, head of the Curio Collection Squad, to toughen myself up on the front line.
:Abraham: But as soon as I came here, I encountered a problem about, about...
:Abraham: Reactivating the Space Anchor over there!
: That's too hard.
::Abraham: You think so too!? Great, I'm not alone.
: Even I can do it.
::Abraham: Don't put it like that... You are the big hero who saved the space station. This's not something that anyone can do. You are being too modest...
: The solution is just a few steps away!
::Abraham: It may look like a few steps, but I can't do it, even if I muster all my courage...
:Abraham: Well, actually, the activation itself isn't the difficult part. You just need to get close to the Space Anchor, and the biological polarity of your body will be enough to activate it.
:Abraham: The real challenge is all the monsters along the way.
:Abraham: Back when I was working at the Obstacle Detection Terminal, they were nothing but distant shadows that I could just brush aside.
:Abraham: Then the invasion happened. And when I learned that they got Alfred, my heart began to fill up with hatred.
:Abraham: But when I became a member of the Curio Collection Squad and met them face to face, all I felt was fear!
:Abraham: At that moment, Alfred's fading eyes flashed in my heart. I felt short of breath, with cold sweat all over my body and my legs trembling...
:Abraham: What a loser, right? I just couldn't find the courage to go through with it and activate the Space Anchor. And it had been like this for several days...
: Leave it to me! 
::Abraham: I really admire you. Your and courage in the face of death have inspired me.
::Abraham: I'm well aware of my limitations, so I'll just wait here for an update from you.
: Let's go together. We can look out for each other.
::Abraham: N—N—No, I can't. I'll just get in the way...
:Abraham: (Trailblazer), please . I am counting on you!
===Make your way through the locked cabin infested with Legion abominations===
===Activate the extinguished anchor in the target cabin===
===Let Abraham know that the anchor is operational again===
;(Talk to Abraham)
:Abraham: L—L—Left, The Hunt...
:Abraham: The Hunt on the left, Harmony on the right, and Erudition in the heart...
: It's done.
::Abraham: I can hear something... but no matter what happens, even if I die the next second, I must finish reciting this phrase.
::Abraham: The Hunt on the left, Harmony on the right, Erudition in the heart, and Preservation on the chest!
::Abraham: Okay, well done, Abraham.
::Abraham: Wow, you are back already? I only recited this morale chant 167 times, and the Space Anchor is already activated.
: What are you doing?
::Abraham: Hey, you're back already! So soon! I've only recited this morale chant 167 times.
::Abraham: Before you say anything, please allow me to finish reciting it, otherwise, I will feel very uncomfortable.
:: I understand!
:::Abraham: Thank you, you're very kind.
:: Well, hurry up...
:::Abraham: Yes, I am going as fast as I can.
::Abraham: The Hunt on the left, Harmony on the right, Erudition in the heart, and Preservation on the chest!
::Abraham: Phew... Okay. Well done, Abraham.
::Abraham: Now, let's get back to business. I see that the Space Anchor over there has been reactivated.
: The dragon on your chest!
::Abraham: On the chest is Preservation!
::Abraham: This is the chant of Aeon protection that I came up with myself. Please don't alter the wording, lest we offend the Aeons.
::Abraham: But I only recited this chant 167 times and you already activated the Space Anchor.
:Abraham: Actually, when I was reciting the chant, I figured it all out... Since you've helped me complete my task already, I can now continue to stay on the team. And I will eventually hunt down the monster that killed Alfred and avenge him.
:Abraham: I will prove to you that I have the courage to take that step before the long night of death.
:Abraham: I hope this is not our last encounter. Farewell, (Trailblazer)...

===Go to the storage zone and learn about the revival declared by researchers===
;(Talk to Hinkel)
:Hinkel: ...What is this? "Battle of intellects is a source of pride. Physical exertion brings shame"? It's complete nonsense! So physical labor doesn't count as work now?
:Hinkel: Today, I'm gonna show them all what real work is about!
: Yep, show them!
: Hear! Hear!
:Hinkel: All staff present, attention please — Herta Space Station is undergoing a difficult period of revival.
:Hinkel: In the battle with the Legion, some of our colleagues were slaughtered by monsters, and their cold bodies were thrown into the silent space.
:Hinkel: The cyber attack has erased years of research efforts. The damaged Curios are slowly disintegrating in a weightless environment.
:Hinkel: Everything within sight has been turned into a wasteland, and monsters are still roaming around in our cabins.
:Hinkel: No matter how many dazzling achievements you have made on your own, we can no longer afford to live like hermits.
:Hinkel: We need to mobilize every member of our staff, put down our inherent prejudices, and work together to recover the lost Curios and repair the damaged cabins.
: So inspiring!
: So lame...
::Hinkel: Silence! If any staff member feels unhappy with this, please air your grievances to me face to face.
: I'm all ears.
:Hinkel: If you don't mind, I don't want to hear any more complaints about physical labor, nor do I want to see anyone putting off work.
:Hinkel: If you are interested in Curio recovery, please report to the Curio Collection Squad under Mr. Wen Mingde in the base zone as soon as possible.
:Hinkel: Those who are interested in repair work, come to me now to learn the process.
: I can help with the repairs.
::Hinkel: Good, good. Are you the young who helped out in the master control zone? I have a special task for you.
: Does everyone have to participate?
::Hinkel: Every staff member must take responsibility sooner or later. The space station is now in dire need of restoration. I believe we can use everyone's help.
::Hinkel: I remember you. You are the young who helped out in the master control zone. Great. I have a special task for you.
:Hinkel: 45 meters out the door from where we are now, there is a major road defect.
:Hinkel: I've checked, and the small ordinance depot on the other side of the defect is swarming with monsters. I'm afraid ordinary staff won't be able to deal with this.
: Don't worry. Just leave it to me.
: Looks like I am the only one...
:Hinkel: Yes, 
:Hinkel: I have many other matters to attend to. Please report back to me when you finish the task.
===Repair the gap and take out the Legion abomination at the end of the path===
===Return to the safe zone and report the results to Hinkel===
;(Talk to Hinkel)
:Hinkel: Young , you're back. Let me concentrate and inspect your work.
:Hinkel: There is a 0.5 ms time delay between the sound reaching both ears, which indicates that the source is in the 3 or 9 o'clock position.
:Hinkel: The sound is much louder in the left ear, which confirms the 9 o'clock position. That means the monsters in the 3 o'clock position have been eliminated. Good job.
: Such an incredible skill!
::Hinkel: It's just sonar positioning. Nothing to brag about.
: I can't hear anything.
::Hinkel: You're untrained. It's normal that you can't hear anything. This is a sonar positioning technique that is unique to the space station's Ecology staff.
:Hinkel: In the Herta Department of Ecology, we deal with all sorts of galactic creatures every day. Developing this kind of ability is just part of our training.
:Hinkel: The staff of Herta Space Station possess many different abilities. After meeting a few of us, you won't be surprised anymore.
: Why don't you just take a look...
::Hinkel: Hehe, you have a point.
::Hinkel: I should also reflect on whether I, like so many others, have fallen into the trap of overreliance on Erudition and disregarding the much simpler and perhaps more effective methods.
:Hinkel: In short, thank you for your contribution to Herta Space Station. This is the reward I managed to secure for you from Lead Researcher Asta. Please take it.
: Thank you. You seem to care a lot about this place.
: No need to reward me for such a minor good deed.
::Hinkel: I disagree. All these minor acts of kindness are precisely what make the reconstruction possible.
:Hinkel: Back when I was an unknown researcher, I was told by the first group of people who worked on the construction of Herta Space Station, "This universe is never friendly. Rather, it is vast and dark."
:Hinkel: In this vast universe, there are countless pairs of eyes staring at the space station, with various intentions.
:Hinkel: Some covet its Curios, while others envy its neutrality and freedom.
:Hinkel: Others despise it or see it as a chess piece that can be destroyed and trampled on at will.
:Hinkel: Perhaps we researchers are the only ones who understand the joy, sadness, epiphany, and companionship that it has brought us.
:Hinkel: Which is why it is up to us to give everything we have to protect it.

=== Chat with Wen Shiqi===
;(Talk to Wen Shiqi)
: I heard you need help here.
:Wen Shiqi: The majestic Legion, the chaos in Herta, the Curio Cabinet... We can never seem to get a break from it all~
:Wen Shiqi: Time to bid farewell to research, and retire to a quiet, leisurely life~
: Ahem, excuse me.
::Wen Shiqi: Who are you? Didn't you see I was singing? Where are your manners?
: Happy and free~
::Wen Shiqi: Ah, I see you're a of culture as well. You've also come out here to unwind, and even picked the same spot as me.
:Wen Shiqi: It's not often you get the chance to waste time like this. Enjoy it while you can!
:Wen Shiqi: If not for all the turmoil going on, I would still be locked up in the cabin doing their so-called research.
:Wen Shiqi: I've already made it this far, and with a full head of hair at that. No need to worry about other people living better than you, the worst that can happen is we all perish together.
:Wen Shiqi: Look at it this way. Even if there's a neutrino burst that heralds destruction, it's still worth it to see such a beautiful sight.
:Wen Shiqi: I'm so happy now to be able to freely waste my own life, just... so... happy~
: Do you need help with anything?
::Wen Shiqi: What do you say? You've already shared some of my joy, so you may as well share some of my chores!
: Well I'm off, then.
::Wen Shiqi: Wait a second! You've already shared some of my joy, shouldn't you return the favor?
::Wen Shiqi: I happen to have a job on my hands that you could help out with.
:Wen Shiqi: We in the Department of Implement Arts have received orders to take stock of the various losses of the space station. That includes evaluating areas like the railway platform.
:Wen Shiqi: All assets damaged by the Legion in the area, whether mobile or immobile, must be and reported to IPC.
:Wen Shiqi: My hands are full already, so why don't you lend me one? Don't worry, there'll be something in it for you too.
: I'll be on my way then.
::Wen Shiqi: Hmm. And I'll be waiting for you here, humming some tunes~
: Maybe you can do some stargazing in the meantime.
::Wen Shiqi: Smart mouth you've got there! You just worry about getting those photos. I'll be waiting for you here, humming some tunes~
:Wen Shiqi: The galaxy is indeed a sight to behold.
===Snap a photo of the Astral Express/Snap a photo of the broken robot===
=== Hand the photo to Wen Shiqi===
;(Return to Wen Shiqi)
: I took picture of everything.
:Wen Shiqi: Back already? You're fast! I have plenty of blank space in this ledger. Let's see what you managed to capture.
: The Astral Express.
::Wen Shiqi: Well, strictly speaking, the Express isn't part of the space station.
::Wen Shiqi: Hey, you're one of the Express folk, right? I'll do you a favor and add its damages to the books!
: The broken robot
::Wen Shiqi: A streamlined body. A silver-white metallic luster...
::Wen Shiqi: Is this the robot that Asta ordered? I have to admit... She has great taste!
: Are these enough?
:Wen Shiqi: More or less. I've put it all in the ledger, you can take a look now.
;(Open )
:Wen Shiqi: Are you done yet? Don't just nose around. There are only a few lines that concern you. And if there's nothing wrong, I'll take the photos.
: There are thousands of items on that list!
::Wen Shiqi: You don't say! And IPC will reimburse every one of them. There's no need to be coy about it.
: It seems like there's something odd about that list.
::Wen Shiqi: Odd? IPC will reimburse us for everything, there's no need to be coy about it with them.
: Shiqi Megascope?
::Wen Shiqi: Yes, even though it only got bumped slightly in the corner, it still counts as damage. In any case, IPC will reimburse us for everything, so there's no need to be coy about it.
::Wen Shiqi: With the thousands of things listed here, who's going to know the difference unless they check every one?
:Wen Shiqi: Okay, I'll sort out the ledger for submission later. You should go get some rest.

===Post-Mission===
;(Talk to Arlan in the Supply Zone after completing )
: Looks like Project Revival has a long way to go...
::Arlan: I've got some replies from the researchers. Thanks for helping me with this round of Project Revival. Even Mrs. Hinkel has started to sing your praise!
::Arlan: Thank you so much. With your help, the operations on the space station will soon be back on track!
