===Apologies...===
;(Approach Gepard)
:Gepard: Time to depart...
;(Initial interaction)
:Gepard: Apologies, I've been busy lately so I had to put off the Express tour for a while. Here we are, finally.
: We're all friends here — no need to apologize.
::Gepard: Sorry — uh... forgive me — I mean... you know what I mean...
: We're friends. I'm just glad you could make it.
::Gepard: It's because we're friends that I feel a little guilty...
:Gepard: What should we see next? Do we just follow the Express tour route?
: Come with me.
:Gepard: Alright, lead the way, (Trailblazer).
:Gepard: I'm honored to be invited aboard the Express.
:Gepard: Truly, I'm not just being polite with you...

===I just had quite...===
;(Approach Gepard)
:Gepard: And the other Aeons apart from Qlipoth...
;(Initial interaction)
:Gepard: I just had quite an interesting conversation with Himeko and Mr. Yang.
:Gepard: But that brown drink that Himeko makes... it's very...
: It's not for everyone...
::Gepard: ...I'm not alone then. I'll be keeping a safe distance.
::Gepard: Anyway, I learned a lot from them. I'm very grateful for that.
: What did you guys talk about?
::Gepard: Well, the part that shocked me the most was about the Aeons.
: There's plenty more where that came from.
::Gepard: Ahem... I'm okay, thanks. Not what I'm used to.
::Gepard: Anyway, I learned a lot from them. I'm very grateful for that.
:Gepard: Belobog's Architects talk about the great deeds of Qlipoth all the time. In our minds, Qlipoth represents the single greatest power in the universe.
:Gepard: But Himeko and Mr. Yang told me that Qlipoth is far from the only Aeon in the universe. For example, the enemies that invaded Belobog 700 years ago were Emanators of a different Aeon.
:Gepard: ...I need to make sure the Silvermane Guards are always at the ready.

===Not long ago, Himeko...===
;(Approach Gepard)
:Gepard: If we deploy automatons into space...
;(Initial interaction)
:Gepard: Not long ago, Himeko showed me her collection. There was something called a "satellite" — I was very intrigued.
:Gepard: It works in a similar way to our automatons. If we launch our automatons into space like satellites, it'd definitely give us an edge in combat.
: You'd be able to detect potential threats.
::Gepard: That's right — the automatons would be our eyes and ears in space. No matter whether the threats arose on the surface or in outer space, we'd be able to spot them.
: You'd be able to act preemptively.
::Gepard: Exactly — the automatons would be our turrets in space. That's also how Himeko uses her satellite.
: Sounds like it'll require a whole lot of engineering...
::Gepard: It will be very difficult to bring this concept to reality using Belobog's current technology.
:Gepard: But Himeko told me that if the Silvermane Guards do go ahead with it, she'll be glad to help.
:Gepard: Only thing though is, I can't make the call. I'll need to write a report and discuss it with Bronya, Pela, and others first.

===Ever since the Express tour...===
;(Approach Gepard)
:Gepard: If the Guards had a train like this...
;(Initial interaction)
:Gepard: Ever since the Express tour, I've been wondering...
:Gepard: If the Guards had a train like this, would it make our campaigns easier?
: You could use it to transfer supplies.
::Gepard: Transfer supplies... huh. That's not a bad idea.
: You could use it to deploy troops.
::Gepard: Deploy troops... huh. That's not a bad idea.
: You could drive it straight into the monsters and send them flying!!!
::Gepard: ...I don't think I've ever seen you that excited.
::Gepard: So... you're thinking of turning the Express into a combat unit? Personally I'd only use it for logistics...
:Gepard: Hmm... You've given me some food for thought — I should have a chat with the Technology Division about this.
:Gepard: I'll add it to my to-do list.
----
;(Subsequent interactions)
:Gepard: It might be worth talking to the Technology Division about incorporating a train into our units.
:Gepard: ...I should add it to my to-do list.
===The Landau family...===
;(Approach Gepard)
:Gepard: The Express feels quite different...
;(Initial interaction)
:Gepard: The Landau family is big — there are always people around at home.
:Gepard: The Express doesn't give me that same feeling. It's pretty empty.
: That's not a bad thing, right?
:Gepard: Not at all. It may be empty, but there are traces of life everywhere. I can just imagine how bustling it would be with people here.
:Gepard: It's like Belobog in the dead of the night: empty, quiet, but always kind.
:Gepard: It's an amazing feeling for someone who's never left Belobog before.

===Oh, you are here.===
;(Approach Gepard)
:Gepard: The Silvermane Guards wish to express their gratitude...
;(Initial interaction)
:Gepard: Oh, you are here. I've been looking for you up and down the train.
: Anything I can do for you?
::Gepard: Actually... I brought you a few things.
: You didn't break into the archives, did you?
::Gepard: Um... nearly.
::Gepard: I brought you all some gifts. Hope I didn't cause too much trouble.
: I've been looking for you, too.
::Gepard: Is that so? Well, I've got something for you.
:Gepard: This is a gift from the Silvermane Guards, to show our gratitude towards those who saved Belobog.
:Gepard: When you find a moment, do come back to Belobog to have a chat. The Silvermane Guards will always welcome you.

==Open-World==
After completing , Gepard will appear in Silvermane Guard Restricted Zone:
===Voice Lines===
;(Version 1)
:: "One should not roam wantonly around places of military importance."
;(Version 2)
:: "Everwinter City shall never fall."
===Dialogue===
;(First interaction)
:Gepard: Welcome to the Silvermane Guard Restricted Zone, (Trailblazer).
:Gepard: I've instructed the soldiers to treat you hospitably, but I do have to remind you to be considerate of your actions.
:Gepard: Rules are rules — once any such acts are discovered, even I, the Captain, can't guarantee your safety.
: Duly noted.
::Gepard: I would be deeply grateful. I hope you will enjoy this trip to Belobog...
::Gepard: Or, as you all call this world — I hope you will enjoy this trip to Jarilo-VI.
: The Captain's so uptight.
::Gepard: The Supreme Guardian and her laws are akin to an iron wall around Belobog. Nothing in this place is above them.
::Gepard: As a comrade who once fought by your side, I do not wish to see harm befall you. Which is why I hope you will reconsider my suggestion.
:Gepard: But enough of this stuffy topic. I'm about to go on a break. Do you have something else you wish to talk about?
;(Continues to regular dialogue options)
----
;(Subsequent interactions)
:Gepard: We meet again, (Trailblazer). Are you here for a chat?
: Let's have a chat then...
: What are a captain's duties?
::Gepard: Anything you can think of, the Silvermane Guards are responsible for.
::Gepard: Above all else, the Captain is charged with organizing the Guards, ensuring that everyone performs their job properly.
:: I understand.
:::Gepard: It is as you imagined, a Captain's job isn't all that complicated.
:::Gepard: I— No, we are but guardians safeguarding the well-being of Belobogians.
:: That's a broad description...
:::Gepard: City defense is an important duty. It is linked to many matters that your average citizens can't fathom.
:::Gepard: But fundamentally, we are but guardians safeguarding the well-being of Belogobians — that's all you need to understand.
: How's your relationship with your big sister?
::Gepard: Serval... I can only turn a blind eye to her various actions.
::Gepard: To the Landaus, my big sister's acts were irrefutably traitorous to the clan. It is no wonder our butler regularly goes to the workshop to persuade her to find a proper job.
: I hear Pela is your aide?
::Gepard: Yes, but our interactions mostly revolve around work. Though, she is quite close to Serval, which is to say, our lives do somewhat intersect outside of work.
::Gepard: In truth, I try to avoid her most of the time... I always feel that she's sort of hmm... overbearing.
::Gepard: There was once when I saw that she was swamped with work, so I suggested helping her finish up a report.
::Gepard: When I submitted it to her, I didn't think she'd be able to point out so many mistakes at a mere glance, followed by a barrage of detailed remarks...
::Gepard: She personally apologized to me after that, and I also acknowledged my tardiness, but that matter sure taught me a lesson... It's best not to get involved in Pela's work.
: I can't think of what to talk about right now.
::Gepard: It's fine. Feel free to speak your mind. No reason to hold back.

;(After obtaining all seven Wanted Posters, available once)
: Can you take a look at these wanted posters?
:Gepard: Mmm? Which Wanted poster?
:Gepard: ...Ah, you got them all together. I asked guards to help me rip them down, but I see that you're far quicker.
:Gepard: You've done me a huge favor. Hang on a moment. Let me prepare a reward for you...
: — Hang on. I've something to ask you!
:Gepard: Speak.
: Who painted these... wild portraits?
::Gepard: Wild? You mean these paintings I did?
::Gepard: It feels... not that wild at all. But both you and Pela have said that. Am I really a bad painter...
:: No no, your painting is very vivid!
:::Gepard: "Vivid"... That's exactly what wanted posters called for. It's an honor to receive such high praise like this from you. Thank you so much.
:::Gepard: Look, this one — I remembered your companion's name is March 7th, right? This is the one I'm proudest of... I think it's indeed very vivid.
:: If you don't have the natural talent for it, don't learn how to paint...
:::Gepard: ...You're right. When it comes to painting, I've still got so much to learn from Pela.
::Gepard: It's a shame that things were so urgent. I had to paint this one in a hurry — otherwise I would've polished it a lot more... 
: Who painted these... magnificent portraits?
::Gepard: This gorgeous style... I presume it's Pela's work? So she even painted one version of it herself... I never knew about that
::Gepard: All I've heard is that she's a wonderful painter with lots of fans because of it. That's all I know. If you're really curious, you can ask her about the rest in person.
: Why are we on this Wanted list?
::Gepard: Have you forgotten? Madam Cocolia said you lot were trying to overthrow Belobog, and put out a Wanted order on your heads. It was urgent, so I painted a Wanted poster and got my staff to post them all over the place.
::Gepard: But you've already proved your innocence, and so that's the end of this Wanted matter. I'm sorry for causing you so much trouble before... I owe you another apology.
----
;(If has been completed, available once)
: What's Serval up to these days?
:Gepard: Same old, same old. Hunkered down at her workshop, either working on orders or dragging Pela and Lynx to rehearsals.
:Gepard: But, after that trip to Everwinter Hill, I don't think I‘ve noticed her looking all glum anymore. I reckon she's sorted her troubles out.
:Gepard: And this was all thanks to your help, (Trailblazer). I thank you on my big sister's behalf.
: We're friends, and that's what we do.
::Gepard: Humility is a virtue. And with your courage and kindness... if we had someone like you among our ranks, it would be Belobog's utmost honor.
::Gepard: As for me... I am immensely honored to have known a friend like you.
: It was your companionship that changed her.
::Gepard: ...Perhaps so. It heartens me to see her go back to her usual carefree self.
::Gepard: In any case, I am truly thankful and honored to have such a friend as you.
: It looks like you really care for your big sis!
::Gepard: ...I don't.
::Gepard: I'm merely performing the base duty required of a family member.
:: Whatever you say.
:::Gepard: Thanks for understanding.
:: Aww, stop deflecting.
:::Gepard: I... This...
:::Gepard: Ahem, I'm not deflecting. 
:: Stop making things so awkward!
:::Gepard: Why do you say the same thing as Big Sis... How am I making anything awkward?
::Gepard: Regardless, us siblings have received much hospitality from you... it is truly an honor to have a friend such as you.
