(Player enters the area)
:Sanhua (Contacting): Yes, My Lady, everything has been taken care of. Don't Worry. 
:Sanhua (Contacting): We ran into an unexpected situation... Yes... They sent us a message, and I happened to be in the vicinity. 
:Sanhua (Contacting): I need to escort this researcher to the Tower. I'll be back shortly.

(Talk to Sanhua)
: Sanhua? Fancy seeing you here.
: Looks like you've already got the situation dealt with.
:Sanhua: Rover?
:Sanhua: I was assisting Madam Magistrate with certain matters, and as I happened to be close to that place, I arrived slightly ahead of you. 
:Sanhua: I resolved the issue.
: Since it's already been dealt with, I'll be heading back.
::Sanhua: Yes, there is. 
: Is there anything else I can help you with?
::Sanhua: Actually...
:Sanhua: I was instructed by Madam Magistrate to discuss a confidential project. Would you mind if I ask about it now, since you're here?
:Sanhua: While the project is still confidential, if you are interested to join, it can be arranged with Madam Magistrate's authorization. Are you interested?
: Confidential?
: Authorization?
:Sanhua: I am currently escorting this injured researcher to that place.
:Sanhua: If you could spare a moment, would you mind coming along? Explaining on-site might be more efficient.
: Sure, let's go together then.

:Young Solider: Hey, what happened? How did you get injured?
:Researcher: Can you believe it? I was just doing my routine specimen collection, and a Howler-type TD just pounced at me out of nowhere! What a lucky encounter!
: You think getting injured is lucky?
:Researcher: Well, it didn't hurt that much. More importantly, it was an unidentified special variant! This discovery will surely enrich our database. 
:Researcher: My little injury today might save countless lives in the future!
:Sanhua: As you can see, the Tower Project, formally known as the Tower of Adversity, is an artificial mirage simulation training ground we're currently developing in Huanglong.
: Artificial... what?
:Researcher: Simply put, it's a man-made Sonora Sphere.
:Researcher: We renovated a large experimental site left behind by the Court of Savantae to build this place.
:Researcher: This is a surreal space that can record specific information from a specific time and situation through our intervention. 
:Sanhua: Regarding the Court of Savantae... There is a lot of information we need you to know. We shall discuss it at a later time.
:Researcher: Within this simulated environment, adversaries can materialize from the subject's recollections.
:Researcher: As you delve deeper, tougher opponents will emerge, because of the difference in energy distribution pattern.
:Sanhua: Our esteemed Magistrate intends to intergrate this technology into military training for a more authentic experience. 
:Sanhua: This could potentially reduce casualties during real-life combat scenarios.
:Sanhua: Rover, would you be willing to participate in our preliminary tests?
: Sure, why not?
::Sanhua: Thank you.
: Why me?
::Researcher: As I mentioned, enemies in the simulation are based on the tester's memories and their strength depends on their perception.
::Researcher: For example, if I were to enter, my fear of Tacet Discords might cause me to imagine them as stronger than they actually are, which would impact the accuracy of data. 
::Researcher: This is why we rely on testers like you and Lady Sanhua, who possess both mental and physical fortitude, to provide realistic data for our research. 
:Researcher: The data we gathered from Lady Sanhua's past simulated battle against an Elite Class Tranquilite greatly aided us in our recent fight.
:Sanhua: Madam Magistrate values this project greatly. As we discussed, our soldiers' lives are at stake. 
:Sanhua: I have faith that you will not disappoint her if entrusted with this task. 
: Let's get started. 
----
:Researcher: Fantastic! Absolutely fantastic!
:Researcher: That's some super valuable and rare data! What an extraordinary battle!
:Researcher: I need to expedite this, collaborate with the research team, and confirm with Control Group B...
:Sanhua: Ahem...
:Researcher: Oh, I almost forgot. 
:Researcher: As it's our priority project, researchers like me do get some subsidies. 
:Researcher: While not significant, please kindly consider them as compensation for your efforts.
:Researcher: Should you have some spare time, we would greatly appreciate your participation in our future experiments! Your contribution is invaluable to us!
