===Talk to the Family's secretary===
:Family Secretary: You must be (Trailblazer)? I've heard so much about you. I am Mr. Alfalfa's secretary, and I'm responsible for coordinating the handover of the Radiant Feldspar.
: How can I help you?
::Family Secretary: Regarding the issue of Radiant Feldspar's ownership, there are some matters that require your attention.
: ...Are you guys really giving it to me unconditionally?
::Family Secretary: Yes. According to the agreement between us and the Astral Express, the Radiant Feldspar will be left in your care.
: But this obviously belongs to everyone...
::Family Secretary: Correct. Ownership of the Radiant Feldspar has been transferred to the Astral Express, but... according to the latest agreement's terms... the Astral Express has appointed you as the authoritative representative for this handover.
:Family Secretary: The Astral Express has also confirmed with us — they have officially authorized you to be the administrator of the Radiant Feldspar. Which means, you are the present captain of this airship. Congratulations!
:Family Secretary: Next, to ensure this airship's proper operation, you need to hire a reliable first mate to organize its daily affairs. 
: Where should I go about hiring such a person?
::Family Secretary: Please do not worry, I will be assisting you the entire way. I'll help organize the recruitment, and you just have to make the final call.
: Nothing better than doing it myself — I don't think hiring a first mate is necessary...
::Family Secretary: I apologize. I know the Nameless are all masters of their craft, but airship affairs are quite complicated... It's better to look for a first mate with ample experience to handle them.
:Family Secretary: Don't worry, as a show of sincerity from the Family to the Astral Express, I have selected a few suitable candidates from the Alfafa's talent repository...
===Select the first mate you want to recruit===
;(Approach the candidates, idle text)
:Rosa: The captain's so young...
:Caldwick: New captain, new beginnings...
:Pedro: Pick me, pick me!
;(Talk to Family Secretary)
:Family Secretary: Allow me to introduce them...
:Family Secretary: Our number one candidate is Rosa, a Halovian. She is known as the "Iron Lady" in the circle.
:Family Secretary: Number two is Caldwick, an elegant Intellitron, armed with a PhD in Management.
:Family Secretary: The third and final candidate is Pedro, a Pepeshi hailing from a lineage of navigators, and is a veteran spacefarer.
:Family Secretary: Who will you choose?
: I'd like to learn more about Rosa.
::Rosa: I am someone is relentless when it comes to the pursuit of detail. I hope to work with you if I get the chance.
::Family Secretary: Rosa's meticulousness, vigor, and speed in executing tasks are well known. She always puts her employers first, and once proclaimed that she would never place additional burdens on them.
::Family Secretary: Do you wish to recruit Rosa as your first mate?
::Family Secretary: According to the clause's restrictions imposed by the agreement, Unless the first mate commits an act of gross misconduct, the unprofessional dismissal of your first mate will incur a massive compensation fee. Please take note of that.
:: I'll pick you then.
:: No, let me think about it.
:::Family Secretary: There's no hurry. Please take your time.
: I'd like to learn more about Caldwick.
::Caldwick: I am Caldwick, and I have heard about your feats aplenty. If I may be allowed the honor, I would be more than glad to be of service.
::Family Secretary: Mr. Caldwick was awarded the title of "Best Superior" five years in a row by the Navigators Association, proving that he has garnered stellar performances in the domain of talent management.
::Family Secretary: Do you wish to recruit Caldwick as your first mate?
::Family Secretary: According to the clause's restrictions imposed by the agreement, Unless the first mate commits an act of gross misconduct, the unprofessional dismissal of your first mate will incur a massive compensation fee. Please take note of that.
:: I'll pick you then.
:: No, let me think about it.
:::Family Secretary: There's no hurry. Please take your time.
:I'd like to learn more about Pedro.
::Pedro: My captain, I wonder if I'll be lucky enough to flaunt my skills under your command!
::Family Secretary: Mr. Pedro is famed for his tenacious character and extensive network. His capabilities and influence are also outstanding among his peers.
::Family Secretary: Do you wish to recruit Pedro as your first mate?
::Family Secretary: According to the clause's restrictions imposed by the agreement, Unless the first mate commits an act of gross misconduct, the unprofessional dismissal of your first mate will incur a massive compensation fee. Please take note of that.
:: I'll pick you then.
:: No, let me think about it.
:::Family Secretary: There's no hurry. Please take your time.
;(After picking a first mate)
:Family Secretary: Very good. Congrats on hiring your desired first mate!
:Family Secretary: Here's your newly appointed first mate. The onboarding training has been completed, but there are still some miscellaneous handover issues that need to be handled on the airship. I'll leave you two to it.
:The Family's secretary bows politely and, upon receiving your approval, steadily departs...
===Talk to (Rosa/Caldwick/Pedro)===
;(If the first mate is Rosa)
:Rosa: Hello, are you the new captain? I didn't think you'd be this young... I'm Rosa, pleased to meet you.
:Rosa: Thank you for your trust in me. I won't waste your precious time. Some official matters require your attention.
:Rosa: Firstly, I think the existing crew's sense of professionalism is decent, but there is room for improvement. For example, their uniforms do not match their job's roles and responsibilities. As an airship that services distinguished guests, this is a slight of manners.
:Rosa: I hope you will agree to my request to manage the crewmates and draw up a code of conduct...
: No problem.
::Rosa: I won't disappoint you. Don't worry.
: I'll acquiesce on principle. Just go easy on them.
::Rosa: Don't worry. I'm not that kind of person.
:Rosa: Details decide success or failure. Don't worry, captain, I've already prepared a draft proposal. I guarantee this will elevate the airship's service quality to new heights!

;(If the first mate is Caldwick)
:Caldwick: My esteemed captain, I am Caldwick — it is an honor to be your first mate.
:Caldwick: There are certain ship-related matters I must report to you — these are problems I noticed when I set foot on the airship...
:Caldwick: The first being, I have prepared a set of management guidelines which I hope will be adhered to while aboard the airship. Please grant my request.
: No problem.
::Caldwick: Thank you for your trust.
: What are these guidelines about?
::Caldwick: They are based on trust, as well as my insights on humanity. I hope they can provide sufficient professional freedom for the crew members.
:Caldwick: I believe in giving the crew members their space with hopes of inspiring them to realize their own potential and creativity. As long as they are able to accomplish their task, they can have more freedom to organize their personal working style.

;(If the first mate is Pedro)
:Pedro: You're the captain? Call me Pedro, I'm your new first mate. I've heard of the Nameless. I'm in awe of you!
:Pedro: I come from a family that has been flying for generations, and I've inherited a bunch of experience from my folks. I've made my rounds on the airship, and I feel that there is some room for improvement.
:Pedro: The first area for improvement: Crew member training. Of course, this is a legacy issue left behind by the previous captain. I'd like to ask for a favor of letting me be in charge of recruiting and managing the crew!
: No problem.
::Pedro: Thank you so much!
: It doesn't look like I have the option to refuse. 
::Pedro: Sorry, my ears must be failing me. You agree to my request, then?
:Pedro: Thank you for the approval. I'll get on it!

;(If the first mate is Rosa)
;(Approach the three New Attendants, idle text)
:All Attendants: Hi, captain!
;(Talk to Rosa)
:Rosa: Hello captain, I'm honored to report the current phase's initial results to you — these young newcomers are coming along fine, and are getting used to the airship's current work pace.
: This lineup looks pretty good.
::Rosa: Only the most professional of teams will leave a lasting impression on our VIP guests.
: Did you call for me for such a trivial matter...?
::Rosa: Apologies, I shall inform you on other matters in a while.
:Rosa: I just have something else to report to you at present. It's better if I showed you in person...
:
:Rosa: I don't know if you've noticed — the airship has a new owner now, but it's still called the Radiant Feldspar. And the airship's empennage isn't spray-painted...
:Rosa: This is, to me, simply unacceptable. You should be flying your own flag that heralds your glorious appointment.
:Rosa: I suggest that you set the tone for future endeavors, and decide on a design for the airship. What do you think?
: Spray-paint my face on it!
::Rosa: I admit that your visage is extraordinary, but according to tradition, it's usually a mascot that's painted on the tail... Your idea might perhaps be beneath your station.
: I'll name it after myself then!
::Rosa: Mmm... The "Radiant Feldspar" renamed to the "(Trailblazer)"... that might invite criticism, presenting you as an object.
: Do you have any good suggestions?
::Rosa: Let me think...
:Rosa: Do you have any pets or mascots you like?
: ...Pom-Pom, Conductor of the Astral Express.
::Rosa: Mm, that doesn't sound like a bad idea at all. It represents the authority of the Astral Express holds over the airship.
::Rosa: Then . Pom-Pom's image will be painted on the empennage — we'll never get lost in the stars if we follow the conductor's trail.
: ...I like trashcans.
::Rosa: A trashcan might be unorthodox, but that visual imbues an inexplicable sense of heroic staunchness in me — an intense personal style that stands out in a dream. This is a rare feeling.
::Rosa: Then — the grand Garbage King of legend. It will guide us toward conquest and majestic grandeur! Give it a coat of paint to demonstrate your show of force and intimidation.
: ...I guess it still has to be Clockie.
::Rosa: Not bad, a Penaconian hallmark, and... no worries about copyright infringement.
::Rosa: Then — an inheritance of Clockie's will. It sounds like a high-flying organization of justice.
:Rosa: Looks like you've already made the most astute choice. Leave the rest of the matter to me.
:
:Rosa: A visually striking coat of paint. It's got your style written all over it! If you're dissatisfied with the airship's name and paint in the future, you can tell me, and I'll help you change them.
:Rosa: But we have a limited budget, so we could only produce three design themes according to your preferences. I hope you won't mind.
:Rosa: And... these meager changes aren't enough. You're still not broadcasting yourself well. As the new captain, there are some areas that require flying your banner, so to speak.
:Rosa: Like... here...

;(If the first mate is Caldwick)
;(Approach the three New Attendants, idle text)
:Male Attendant: The first mate is a pretty nice guy.
:Pepeshi Attendant: Is this the legendary captain?
:Female Attendant: The captain is so cool.
;(Talk to Caldwick)
:Caldwick: Captain, it's an honor to see you again. I've recruited new crew members based on my own management guidelines.
: How are the results?
::Caldwick: The feedback from our guests is overflowing with praise!
: Looks like there are all sorts of people here...
::Caldwick: I value their initiative more than their appearance or uniform.
:Caldwick: With the freedom and trust given to the crew, their performance level has increased, and the guests on the airship have been showering us with compliments.
:Caldwick: Additionally, we've also gotten a glowing recommendation from a famous travel influencer! All these events prove the effectiveness of my management guidelines.
:Caldwick: With this successful endeavor in hand, I'd like to suggest a few improvements to be made to the airship — a couple of crew members have come forth with feedback on an issue they're facing in a certain area. I'll need your help to conduct a site visit with me.
:
:Caldwick: This is the suggestion given by the crew: It's time to change the empennage and the name of the airship to denote the changes that have taken place since the airship's change of hands.
:Caldwick: I believe this change will be able to elevate our brand image. Can I get your opinion on this?
: Just use my name and face.
::Caldwick: I'm sorry. The airship's name will be used for commercial purposes. If we use your image and name directly, it poses too much of a risk. I'll have to reject that proposal, and beg your understanding.
: Do you have any good suggestions?
::Caldwick: The best design must be attractive to guests and emphasize your style.
:Caldwick: You're the captain. It's of utmost importance to consider your aesthetic preferences. Do you have a favorite person or thing to use as the mascot of the airship?
: ...Pom-Pom, Conductor of the Astral Express.
::Caldwick: The Astral Express' conductor? It'll be a nice touch to paint a Pom-Pom lookalike on the airship's empennage.
::Caldwick: Then , emphasizing the importance of conductor Pom-Pom and highlighting your status as a Nameless.
: ...Trashcan.
::Caldwick: Even though it's a trashcan, the more unconventional something appears in dreams, the more captivating it becomes.
::Caldwick: Then . It is the legendary Garbage King, and it has a forward-looking feel with a post-modern aesthetic.
: ...Clockie.
::Caldwick: Oh, by using a well-known image in Penacony. This will save a fortune in promotional costs.
::Caldwick: Then — only with an airship helmed by Clockie is worthy of its guests.
:Caldwick: Thank you for your support, captain. Please hold on for a moment...
:
:Caldwick: I've used a dream bubble to record your preferred proposal — it also includes different options to prepare for the possibility of future repaints.
:Caldwick: The paint job for the empennage is complete. The crew has been informed of the name change and everyone is happy with it.
:Caldwick: Also, I've received feedback that the crew members wish to honor you by placing your statue in the promenade gallery.
:Caldwick: Captain, please follow me.

;(If the first mate is Pedro)
;(Approach the three New Attendants, idle text)
:Male Pepeshi Attendant: It's the captain that uncle mentioned...
:Female Pepeshi Attendant: Don't embarrass Uncle Pedro!
;(Talk to Pedro)
:Pedro: Captain, we meet again. I've recruited some folks from my hometown. Please take a look!
:Pedro: I'm not tooting my own horn. You can ask around in the industry. Although they are from an offshoot of my family, I can guarantee that they are all veterans, packed with experience and integrity.
: I don't have much experience in flying, so don't trick me. 
: Really?
:Pedro: Of course! Not to mention, we Pepeshi are natural repairmen. These folks that I'm bringing on board all hold official certificates to verify their abilities, issued by The Family themselves! They were verified by the Alfalfa Family as well.
:Pedro: Our unity and world-class professional skills are the key to guaranteeing a successful voyage. We are deeply honored to be under your employment. Captain, please allow us to serve you with everything we've got!
:Pedro: Instead of describing it, let me bring you to a place, and you'll know — my nephew told me about it, and I thought it'd be good to report it to you.
:
:Pedro: My nephew realized that the paint job on the empennage hasn't been changed, nor has the old name, Radiant Feldspar. Since you're its new master, isn't it time to change it?
:Pedro: What do you think?
: Proudly use my image!
::Pedro: Ah, that's a big no-no. The empennage is filthy, and if an accident happens during flying, it'll be split open and ruin your image. That's bad luck!
: Do you have any good suggestions?
::Pedro: Let me think...
:Pedro: You're the captain, so it's all about what you like! Do you have a person or thing that you like? Best if it's a cute pet, or a mascot, something everyone will like.
: ...Pom-Pom, Conductor of the Astral Express.
::Pedro: The Conductor of the Astral Express? Not a problem. Looking at this face, everyone will know that this is the turf of the Nameless!
::Pedro: Then, we'll rename the airship to ! Just like its namesake, as long as we keep our eyes on the conductor's tail, we'll never get lost!
: ...Trashcan. 
::Pedro: ...To be honest, it's a little weird, but I love it. After all, you're above ordinary things, captain.
::Pedro: Then, we'll rename the airship to ! The legendary Garbage King will lead us on a path of conquest and greatness!
: ...Clockie. 
::Pedro: Well, it's certainly a family favorite for all ages. I'd say, no issue!
::Pedro: Then, we'll rename the airship to the ! Inheriting the spirit of Clockie, we will defend the peace of Dreamville from the skies!
:Pedro: I have a cousin who studies dream bubbles. He gave me a device that can record detailed imagery from human minds. Handy when needed for painting.
:Pedro: Hang on, let me figure out this thing...
:
:Pedro: Done, but... This dream bubble has limited space. It's only able to record three ideas you have in your mind.
:Pedro: If you want to change the design in the future, just let me know.
:Pedro: I've informed everyone about the change of the paint and the airship's name. They are all singing praises.
:Pedro: Now that this is done and dusted, there's another issue. Captain, according to my navigational experience, I've realized another problem with the ship. I think it's better if you see it for yourself.
:Pedro: Please follow me...

===Inspect the area near the long gallery with (Rosa/Caldwick/Pedro)===
;(If the first mate is Rosa)
:Rosa: This place... I'd add your statue to it if it were up to me. Passing visitors and crew members will instantly understand at a glance: This is the master of this airship.
:Rosa: Penacony's origami printing techniques are quite advanced. Do you want to print a bust tailored to your visage and place it here?
: Do it!
::Rosa: Aye-aye, Cap'n!
: Make me look nicer, please.
::Rosa: Don't worry, you'll never go wrong with a Halovian's aesthetics.
:Rosa: Mm-hmm, excellent, a perfect fit.
:Rosa: Captain, don't move, let me see...
:Rosa: Ah... How did you even get this face? It's so . This bust's quality is outstanding — it's managed to capture at least 70% of your visage. So stately!
:Rosa: There's one last thing. If you follow me, you can see for yourself...

;(If the first mate is Caldwick)
:Caldwick: It's usually bustling here. Once you board the airship, you'll have to pass by here no matter where you're going.
:Caldwick: The crew suggests that we place a statue of your bust here. I think it's a great way for our team to show our respect and trust in your leadership. Additionally, it will strengthen our team's unity.
:Caldwick: We've had many new recruits, one among them having graduated from the Paperfold University. He has already tried printing your statue. I wonder if you're agreeable to having it be placed here?
: Bring it up!
::Caldwick: Just a moment.
: Don't put it up if it's not nice.
::Caldwick: Please be rest assured. I've checked it. His aesthetics are good. He's able to replicate at least sixty percent of your appearance.
:Caldwick: No matter how many times I've seen it, I'm still taken aback. The statue looks refreshing, unrivaled by any captain in the industry...
:Caldwick: Captain, please stand here beside the statue so I can see if there are any issues with the details...
:Caldwick: Mm, the facial features are identical, just as as the real thing... You look so young. This statue lacks some details, but it makes you look more imposing in contrast!
:Caldwick: Sorry, I was mesmerized by the statue. That was inappropriate.
:Caldwick: There's just one last thing to report: A crew member discovered an issue during routine cleaning of the captain's cabin. Please follow me to take a look.

;(If the first mate is Pedro)
:Pedro: Captain, this long gallery is situated at the heart of the ship. Every visitor that passes by will notice it, but it's currently empty — and it'd look quite boorish if we only decorate it with art pieces.
:Pedro: I gave it some thought, and I feel that it's most suitable to place a bust of you here.
:Pedro: I have a friend who is a graduate of the Paperfold University, and his origami skills are top-notch. He has tried to print a statue for you. Here, take a look. Why don't we try to place it here?
: I can't wait to see it!
: Put it here and we'll see.
:Pedro: Hang on, let me display it...
:Pedro: Oh-ho, this look is outstanding. Almost like the real deal.
:Pedro: Captain, please turn around for me... Wow...
:Pedro: You're so tall... Oh, that's not right, you're so good-looking... This statue only captures about 60% of your beauty, but it still looks rather commanding anyway. That's my captain.
:Pedro: Oh right, almost forgot the last thing that I have to report.
:Pedro: Previously, when I reported in about recruitment, I noticed an issue with your room — please follow me to take a look.

===Return to the captain's cabin with (Rosa/Caldwick/Pedro)===
;(If the first mate is Rosa)
:Rosa: Please, look over here...
:Rosa: The wall is starkly empty. This won't do... A captain's cabin should honor tradition by having your portrait hung high. It's the only way to declare your status.
:Rosa: I've already prepared your portrait for you... but... whether it should be hung up is your decision.
: Chop-chop, then!
::Rosa: Aye-aye, Cap'n!
: ...You make it sound like I had a choice to begin with.
::Rosa: Hmm? Voice? Oh, you meant choice. No, no, if you're insistent on leaving it empty, that's fine too. I just think it's unbecoming for someone of your station. It never hurts to flaunt a little.
:
:Rosa: Mm-mm, the angle's all right, and the portrait looks sharp too. This is how things should be.
:Rosa: Captain... try crossing your arms... Ha, looks just like the portrait. You look more demure in it, but you are much more spirited in person.
:Rosa: Captain, preparation procedures for the airship's launch are complete. I have to return to my station to get ready for the upcoming journey. I'll be awaiting orders outside the door, so don't hesitate to dispatch me if you have any needs.

;(If the first mate is Caldwick)
:Caldwick: The crew member suggests hanging a painting of you here. When you leave the airship, your presence will still be felt here. We are a team. Everyone wishes to see you, no matter the form.
:Caldwick: The crew member who suggested this was an apprentice of a master painter who also long-admired the legends of the Nameless, and had your portrait painted long ago. Please feel free to decide whether you want to hang up the painting.
: Quickly, hang it up for me to see!
::Caldwick: Just a moment.
: ...Wow, our crew can do anything.
::Caldwick: You jest. According to management guidelines, I allow people to showcase their specialties. It was pure coincidence that we met someone who could draw.
:Caldwick holds your portrait and hangs it on the wall securely.
:Caldwick: Can you imitate the pose in the portrait? I would like to see if there are any mistakes with the details.
:Caldwick: A pity that your aura can't be duplicated wholly on paper, but this is fine too...
:Caldwick: I hope you'll enjoy this painting.
:Caldwick: I've completed my report on all the feedback from the crew and the administrative staff of the airship. Usually, I'll be standing by the wheel of the airship. I'll report back if anything comes up. Until we meet again.

;(If the first mate is Pedro)
:Pedro: This is the captain's cabin, no? When I came to prepare for your handover, I realized that it has a blank area.
:Pedro: Since it's the captain's cabin, your portrait should be hanging there. That way, when people come in for discussions, you'll be sitting on the sofa, with your painting behind you, that'll show em' who's boss!
:Pedro: The secretary from the Alfalfa Family has prepared your portrait as a sign of graciousness. Do you want to hang it up?
: Of course we are hanging it up, pronto!
::Pedro: No rush. We'll do it immediately.
: How very gracious of them.
::Pedro: It was a piece of cake. I'd be willing to help out too for something like this.
:
:Pedro: Awesome. I think this is the cherry on top for the room! Listen to Old Pedro and nothing will go wrong!
:Pedro: Captain, could you try posing with your arms crossed... Yes, exactly like the painting... That's it, just like that!
:Pedro: Haha, I think it's pretty good. This is just too ... Even I want a portrait to hang up at home...
:Pedro: Captain, I'm done reporting about all the airship's tasks. I'm gonna head back to work. If something comes up, just gimme a holler! I'll be working outside. See ya!
