;(Immediately after completing the previous mission)
: Male Voice: Weren't their coordinates sent out from the space station...?
: Female Voice: Who cares? They're here and alive. Do they look like a mannequin to you?
: Male Voice: ...Weak heartbeat and pulse... March, you better do CPR.
: Female Voice: Huh!? Hehe... I—I've never done it before! Dan Heng, you do it!

::Female Voice: Wait — stop it! 
::Female Voice: They're awake!

: ???: Are you all right? Can you hear me? Do you remember your name?
: I... don't remember a thing.
: ???: Aw, this isn't good... Can you try harder? I'm sure you can at least remember your name...
: My name is (Trailblazer).
: Dan Heng: (Trailblazer)? Nice to meet you. My name's Dan Heng, and this is March 7th.
: Dan Heng: This space station was just attacked by the Antimatter Legion. We came to help with the rescue at the request of Lead Researcher Asta.
: The Antimatter Legion?
:: March 7th: Goons owned by the Destruction. You're lucky that the most dangerous among them isn't around, just some nasty minions.
:: March 7th: We'll take those invaders out soon, don't worry.
: Lead Researcher Asta?
:: March 7th: Uh-huh, a petite cutie with pink hair. Madam Herta appointed her to be the acting lead researcher.
:: March 7th: ...That girl really needs to step up. I can't believe her own employee doesn't even know her name...
: Where should I go?
: Dan Heng: Back to the master control zone. Asta and the other researchers have gathered there.
: March 7th: Plus that's where we parked the Astral Express! Don't you worry, we'll protect you from the monsters and clear up this mess.
: Who are you guys?
:: March 7th: Dan Heng and I are members of the Astral Express crew~
:: Dan Heng: Well the Express has some dealings with Madam Herta, so we come to visit the space station from time to time.
:: March 7th: We just so happened to arrive during this... invasion. Of course, as a — ahem — crew of heroes, we're happy to lend a hand.
: The Astral Express?
:: March 7th: Yeah, you've never seen it? The Express comes here every once in a while.
:: Dan Heng: It's a unique train that can travel between the stars with the power of the Trailblaze Aeon.
:: March 7th: I'll show you once we're back to the master control zone~
: Let's go then.
: Dan Heng: You and March go back together.
: Dan Heng: Arlan from the Security Department lost contact in the vicinity. I need to find him first.
: March 7th: Oh, all right. You stay safe.
;(Dan Heng leaves)
: March 7th: (Trailblazer), maybe you should take this.
;(Pans over to baseball bat)
: March 7th: The Legion are rampaging through the space station like a pack of wolves — this trip won't be a walk in the park. It's better if you have something to protect yourself.
: March 7th: Just a suggestion though — you're safe as long as you stick with me~!

;(Approach controller)
: March 7th: This place is full of fancy little gadgets — Herta's collection. I really don't get why she'd go out of her way to collect them and then leave them here to gather dust...
;(Wait for some time)
: March 7th: Enough dilly-dallying, we gotta go.

;(After the battle)
: March 7th: You're stronger than you look... Seem to be quite the fighter.
===Listen to March 7th and protect yourself===
;(Approach the elevator room)
: March 7th: So we'll take that elevator on the central platform to go down to the master control zone. Do you know the way?
: March 7th: Um, I notice that you're not wearing the space station staff uniform. Do you really work here?
: Yes.
:: March 7th: ...Really? Feels like you're tricking me...
: I don't remember.
:: March 7th: ...Memory loss, huh. You must've been injured.
: ...
: March 7th: ...Never mind. I won't ask if you don't wanna talk about it.
: March 7th: Let's go, I'll take you to the safe zone~

;(Approach the elevator)
: March 7th: Ah. I knew it...
: It worked?
:: March 7th: Nah, I think the elevator's broken. I pressed all the buttons but nothing happened.
: It's broken?
:: March 7th: —But it wasn't me! The Antimatter Legion must've broken it!
: March 7th: Too bad Dan Heng's not here. He's like a walking encyclopedia... He knows a ton of complicated stuff — maybe even elevator repair...
: Dan Heng: I don't know that one.
: March 7th: Whoa! Why are you here!? ...And how did you get here before us?
: Dan Heng: I took another route to the upper level, and I saw you guys from up there.
: Dan Heng: Arlan is in the control room. He's been injured, but not fatally.
: March 7th: You found him! Will he know what to do about this elevator?
: Dan Heng: I suppose as the head of the Security Department, he should know.
: March 7th: Then let's go talk to him!

;(Approach Arlan)
: Arlan: Hey... you're all together?
: March 7th: Yep, we're from the Astral Express~
: Arlan: Oh... Did Madam Herta send you to help?
: Dan Heng: It's just a coincidence. We came to deliver the rare relic Herta trusted us to find... We didn't expect to arrive during an invasion.
: March 7th: Why is the Antimatter Legion targeting you guys? It seems they just ignored the surface of the planet and came straight to the space station.
: Arlan: I... have no idea. The Legion came at a very suspicious time — almost right after the security system suddenly failed.
: Arlan: Lady... Lead Researcher Asta immediately began to organize the evacuation. I was supposed to cover everyone as they evacuated, but... I didn't expect to end up failing in this task.
: Dan Heng: Don't be too hard on yourself. Your leg and dominant hand were injured. It was a wise decision to hide here and avoid a head-on encounter with the Legion.
: March 7th: Yeah! Most of the staff have been evacuated safely, so right now our highest priority is to return to the master control zone and plan a counterattack! So... do you know how to use the elevator? I couldn't start it...
: Arlan: After the evacuation was complete, the elevators were all shut down to keep the Legion away from the master control zone.
: Arlan: Since Lady Asta sent you to look for me, I assume she must've given you the encryption key for accessing the elevator system?
: March 7th: Oh, right, she did give me some sort of card...
: Dan Heng: ...March...
: March 7th: But where did I put it...
: Arlan: You...
: March 7th: Ah! Here it is!
: Dan Heng: I...
===Use the encryption key===
;(After previous dialogue)
: Arlan: ...Now that we found the key, we should get going. We can use that console over there to unlock the elevator.
----
;(Interact with controller)
: Dan Heng: Let's go.
: Arlan: Hold on. I only activated the elevator on the highest floor. We'll have to go there to use it.
: Why? It's so far away.
:: Arlan: Because I mustn't give the Legion any chance to reach the master control zone by the elevator. I must ensure the safety of the station's staff.
:: Arlan: So I'll have to trouble you to take a bit of a detour... Apologies.
: Okay.
:: Arlan: Sorry... This space station was entrusted to Lady Asta by Madam Herta. I must do this for the safety of the master control zone and the staff there.
:: Arlan: So I'll have to trouble you to take a bit of a detour... Sincerest apologies.
: March 7th: Huh? You're not coming with us?
: Arlan: My leg is injured... I'd only slow you down. I'll stay here and shut down the elevator once you've made it to the master control zone.
: Dan Heng: You won't slow us down. And you should be able to shut down the elevators from the master control zone, right?
: March 7th: Agreed. (Trailblazer) and I made it here safely, and now we've also got Dan Heng. We're more than enough to protect you~
: March 7th: Let us worry about the Antimatter Legion. You just follow us and keep yourself alive~
: Trust us.
: Don't overthink this.
: You can use me as a crutch.
:: March 7th: Aren't you a nice kid!
: Arlan: ...Thank you.

;(Leave monitoring room)
: Dan Heng: Do you know why the Antimatter Legion would invade the station, Arlan?
: Arlan: They must've come for Madam Herta's collection... But as to why, I still...
: Dan Heng: I heard there's something called a Stellaron in Madam Herta's collection.
: Arlan: ...That's not the kind of information someone in my position would have access to.
----
;(Approach repulsion bridge)
: Dan Heng: The repulsion bridge has been shut down?
: Arlan: Yes. To stall the enemy, more or less.

;(Enter room on upper level)
: March 7th: Hey, these shiny things... Are these Light Cones? I thought only the Interastral Peace Corporation had rare stuff like this.
: Dan Heng: No, Light Cones are Garden of Recollection technology. They allow you to carry memories around — very potent enhancement items. I heard the corporation paid a lot for the usage rights, but I've no idea how Herta managed to get hold of one.
: Arlan: They were acquired legitimately, that's all I can say. Take them, they're very useful in combat.

::Himeko: Anyway, at least you're back.
;(Cutscene ends)
----
: Himeko: March, Dan Heng, you've been through a lot.
: March 7th: Whew, Himeko~ What took you so long! That last wave of Antimatter Legion came at us like a swarm of locusts, have you ever tried shooting locusts with a bow?
: Himeko: I wouldn't have made a difference. My orbital cannon can deal with a whole bunch of enemies at once, but I couldn't just blow up the space station with it — Herta would NOT like that...
: Himeko: Are you alright, Arlan? Asta's been worried about you.
: Arlan: I'm fine, a quick patching up will do. Thanks for asking. I'll report the situation to Lead Researcher Asta immediately. Bye.
: Himeko: Hey, nice to meet you. I'm Himeko, navigator of the Astral Express.
: March 7th: In other words, she's in charge of where the Express goes.
: Himeko: March hasn't been any trouble for you along the way, has she?
: March 7th: (Trailblazer), think carefully about how you wanna reply to that.
: I've never met a more reckless girl in my life.
:: March 7th: ...That's just my charm! And I didn't cause any trouble. You just have to get used to me... Look, Dan Heng agrees, right?
:: Dan Heng: I have the right to remain silent.
: I've never met a more lively girl in my life.
:: March 7th: Well, that's the joy of youth! We should take every step forward full of energy! a discerning one, isn't , Dan Heng?
:: Dan Heng: I have the right to remain silent.
: In that case, I'd rather not answer.
:: March 7th: ...Oh, looks like we have two Dan Hengs on our team now.
:: Dan Heng: Please leave me out of this.
: Himeko: Haha, look at you all, you've already gotten really close.
: Himeko: Come on, Asta has been worried about all of you.
