:
===Head to the Museum Finishing Room to find the Landau siblings===
;(Approach marked location)
:Serval: Hah, there's plenty of precious stuff in here! You aren't looking for treasure in the museum while pretending to volunteer, right?
:Gepard: No, I'm not...
:Serval: Oh! What's this gadget? This monitor, and this keyboard... is it an automaton remote control terminal?
:Serval: See, there's a piece of paper here! It says "Penya Sergeyevna"...
:Serval: Is that the owner's name? Sounds a bit familiar...
:Gepard: These are all relics, sis. Please don't touch them. What if you break something?
===Talk with the Landau siblings===
;(Approach Serval and Gepard)
: Here I am.
:Serval: Oh, (Trailblazer)! We were just waiting for you.
:Gepard: Long time no see, (Trailblazer). I wanted to talk about this in our chat group, but sis won't have it... I'm sorry you had to run all the way out here.
: More danger afoot?
: Why all the hush-hush?
::Gepard: Um... That was Serval's idea. She said it needed a level of secrecy.
::Gepard: I happened to be helping out at the museum, so we both ended up waiting for you here.
:Serval: Actually, I want to talk to you about our little Lynx.
: Lynx?
::Gepard: She's our little sister, the youngest child of the Landau family.
: Oh, that Lynx.
::Gepard: So you know her! Well, that makes this easy.
:Gepard: She just came back from a scientific exploration on the Snow Plains, but she seems really out of it... almost like she's worried about something...
:Gepard: And she won't tell us what happened. We're really worried and want to help, but we don't know where to start.
:Serval: The last time I saw her, she was preparing to meet someone on the Snow Plains. She even asked for a stove set from me...
:Serval: But no matter how Gepard and I asked and probed, Lynx simply refused to tell us who she was gonna meet... *sigh* I'm such a failure of a sister.
:Serval: So, that's why Gepard and I came up with this idea. We'd like you to help us find out what's going on!
:Gepard: One more thing... don't let her discover you. Otherwise, she'll probably get upset with us.
: Leave it to me!
::Serval: Thank you, (Trailblazer)! We're worried about her meeting strangers...
::Gepard: She's used to doing research alone in the Snow Plains, and we've always believed she can protect herself, but this is different... I'm worried she could run into bad people.
: That might be difficult...
::Serval: I know she's used to going into the Snow Plains alone for research, and we've always believed she can protect herself...
::Gepard: But this is different. We're worried about her running into strangers... She might get herself into trouble.
:Serval: Oh, right! If you're gonna go find Lynxy, you gotta know what she looks like!
:Serval: Don't worry. She stands out. She's blonde like us and, um... quite short. She’s always wearing a white fur hat... If I'm right, she should be waiting for someone at the city exit closest to the Snow Plains.
:Serval: We are putting our dearest baby sister in your hands this time. Let us know immediately if anything happens.
:Gepard: Thank you, (Trailblazer).
;(Mission Start)
===Head to the Administrative District exit near the Outlying Snow Plains and find Lynx===
;(Approach marked location)
:(Trailblazer): (Huh? That girl over there... seems like she fits Serval's description.)
:(Trailblazer): (That must be Lynx. Let's hide here and observe for now.)
:Pela: Lynxy~ I'm here!
:Lynx: Let's go.
----
:Pela: Phew... I never knew how long it took to get from the Administrative District to the Snow Plains.
:Pela: So much snow... Even in the northern mountains, it wasn't like this.
: Did you bring enough warm clothes?
::Lynx: The snow is supposed to get heavier later in the day... Have you got enough warm clothes?
::Pela: Yep, I brought everything you told me to — all thanks to your camping guide.
::Pela: Speaking of which, according to the guide, the first thing we need to do is find a good place to set up camp, right? Flat, dry, sheltered, facing the sun, high elevation...
: We need to find a good place to set up camp first.
::Lynx: The snow is supposed to get heavier later in the day... We need to find a good place to set up camp first.
::Pela: Right! The guide says we should find a flat, dry, sheltered location — facing the sun at high elevation...
:Lynx: ...You remembered all that? I expected no less from you! But it's gonna be hard finding a place that fits those criteria.
:Lynx: Well, we'll just keep moving and see. The place has to be convenient enough for us to observe the aurora, too.
:Pela: Hehe, thanks, Lynxy!
:Pela: I'll leave it to you then. I'm gonna follow right behind you.
===Head to the Snow Plains and find Lynx===
;(Talk to the Silvermane Guard to re-enter the challenge, optional)
:Guard on Duty: Intelligence Officer Pela just left for the Snow Plains with somebody...
:Guard on Duty: ...are you headed there too?
: Enter the Snow Plains.
: Maybe later.
====Find a suitable camping spot====
;(While walking)
:Pela: Flat, dry, sheltered, facing the sun, high elevation..
:Pela: ...and we need to be able to observe the aurora... This is going to be difficult.
;(Continue walking)
:Pela: This slope has a good view... It'll be easy to watch the aurora.
:Lynx: Nope. The wind blows strongly through here, and there are signs of direwolf activity... It'd be too dangerous to make camp.
:Pela: I see... Then let's keep moving.
----
;(Approach marked location)
:Pela: Hmm... This area is sheltered and facing the sun, plus it's flat ground, but...
:Lynx: But there are cliffs all around. We'll be in trouble if there's a landslide or rockfall. Also, there isn't much of a view...
:Lynx: Ah! I remember a good place that's not too far from here. Follow me!
:Pela: Huh? ...Okay!
====Establish the camp====
:Pela: We're at a dead end...
:Pela: Lynxy, are you sure this is the place?
:Lynx: Yep. This is the path to Kandor Valley. There are low cliffs on both sides, but I cleared all the monsters here a while ago, so it should be safe and sound.
:Lynx: Also, the mountain wind during this season usually comes from the north, which is another reason why we couldn't camp on that previous slope. These two hills can block the Snow Plains gales for us.
:Pela: I never even noticed! Huh, camping is a complicated science...
:Lynx: ...Not really, but the environment outside of Belobog is very tough.
:Lynx: If the weather here was as good as inside the city, then we could have camped anywhere.
:Pela: That's true. I hope that becomes a reality one day.
:Pela: Hmm, only problem is... the view here isn't great. Are you sure we'll be able to watch the aurora?
:Lynx: Hehe, don't worry about that for now — let's get the tent ready then go find our dinner.
:Pela: Sure! I can help out with the tent — I memorized that section in the camping guide.
:Lynx: Okay, then I'll go set up the stove. If you have any questions, just ask me.
----
:Lynx: (Huh? Why isn't the heater working...?)
:Lynx: (Darn, doesn’t seem like an easy fix...)
:Lynx: (Alright, I'll ask Pela...)
====Ask whether Pela can fix the heater====
:Pela: Weird... That's what the guide says...
:Pela: Hey, Lynxy! Come and have a look at this!
:Pela: I did everything according to the guide, but the tent's still wobbly...
: Have a check.
:Lynx: Mm, lemme have a check...
----
:Lynx: Main poles, check. Brow poles, check. Ropes, check...
:Lynx: ...Ah, it's the pegs!
----
:Lynx: The pegs. I forgot to mention — thick snow needs leaded iron pegs.
:Pela: Got it! It's definitely sturdier now... Nice job, Lynxy!
:Lynx: You're too kind... My oversight.
:Lynx: Uhh... I've got a question, too. Can you take a look at this stove? I think it's broken...
:Pela: Huh? Sure, let me take a look.
:Pela: Hmm... The Geomarrow fuel activation component probably stopped working. Do you have a spare one?
:Lynx: No... Serval told me this was a brand-new stove…
:Lynx: (Did I bring the wrong stove...? Does this mean we have to make a fire with Geomarrow? I specifically got this stove from Serval...)
:Pela: That's okay. These components are really common. Maybe we can find a spare one in the ruins around here.
:Pela: You take it easy — I'll see if I can find one. Oh, and I'll keep an eye out for food too!
:Lynx: ...I'll come with you!
====Collect the Geomarrow Activation Element and food 0/4====
:Lynx: Finding food is easy, but finding that component is gonna be hard...
:Pela: We'll do our best. If we can't find one. we'll just do what your guide says and chop wood to make a fire.
:Lynx: Oh, actually, I have some spare chunks of Geomarrow...
----
;(Investigate marked spot near the ruin)
:Pela: There might be spare stove parts in the ruin. Lemme see...
:Lynx: Don't tell me you wanna crawl in there...
:Pela: Of course I do. It's not like the stuff we need is gonna come crawling out.
:Lynx: In that case... be careful.
----
:Pela: ...
:Lynx: Did you find anything?
:Pela: I didn't find any components, but I got this... I don't know if we can still eat it...
:Lynx: Hmm...
:Lynx: It hasn't decayed — it's edible!
:Pela: Really?
:Lynx: It's all thanks to the Eternal Freeze. We can eat raw fish from 700 years ago!
:Pela: 700!?
;(Obtain )
;(Approach the tree)
:Lynx: Huh? What's in this tree trunk...
:Pela: You found something?
:Lynx: ...There's food in here!
:Pela: Really?
----
:Lynx: I'm gonna pry it open...
:Lynx: There!
:Pela: Uh... What exactly are—
:Lynx: These are mimic snow slugs. They can change their appearance to match the external environment. They're really cute.
:Pela: Yeah, but... we should put them back.
:Lynx: No, no! These slugs taste really good once they've been roasted... They kinda taste like... snow mice?
:Pela: That sounds even less appetizing!
;(Obtain )
;(Investigate the snowdrift)
:Lynx: There's something in this ...
:Lynx: ...Huh!? I can do the digging! You don't need to...
:Pela: Come on, camping is about teamwork! Let me have a try.
:Lynx: Ah... Okay.
----
:Pela: Ah! I found something!
:Pela: Is this... a radish?
:Lynx: Yep, that's a snow radish. They're really sweet and tasty...
:Lynx: ...
:Lynx: ...Actually... no. This is a hibernating snow radish rabbit.
:Pela: Huh? This is a rabbit?
:Lynx: Yep. They look really similar to show radishes. Their ears look like the leaves and their body looks like the radish bit. When they hibernate, they cover themselves with dirt, just like real radishes.
:Pela: I see... In that case, please tell me we can put it back?
:Lynx: Yeah... It's better for the Snow Plains' ecosystem.
;(Investigate the crates)
:Pela: This crate looks promising. Maybe there are spare stove components inside...
:Lynx: Let's open it up then.
:Pela: Ah! N—No! Don't worry about it, Lynxy! I'll manage!
:Lynx: ...
----
:Pela: Uh...
:Pela: ...Are these sausages?
:Lynx: Sure looks like it... And they were probably placed here not long ago...
:Lynx: ...Could it be the Belobog Caveman's food?
:Pela: ...B—Belobog Caveman?
:Lynx: It's a legendary creature. It looks like something between a man and a monkey, roughly the same size as a man, with dark blue hair. Its activities are very mysterious, and no one in Belobog can find concrete evidence of its existence...
:Lynx: I've only chanced upon it a few times myself, but whenever I tried to take a photo of it, it had already run away.
:Lynx: I feel like.. these sausages might constitute a great Belobogian scientific discovery! Let's bring them back with us.
:Pela: Ah! Hold on... There are some letters here.
:Pela: "SAM" something, "KOS" something... I can't read the rest, but it seems like a name.
:Pela: Guess it can't be the Belobog Caveman then... Do cavemen even know how to write?
:Lynx: *sigh* ...
:Pela: D-Don't worry Lynxy! I'm sure you'll get concrete proof one day...
:Pela: Let's leave the sausages here. I think someone might be missing them if we take them.
----
:Lynx: I think we've searched through everything here... Let's head back, Pela.
:Pela: *sigh* Okay... I feel bad that we didn't find a spare component.
:Lynx: It's fine, we'll just light a fire with Geomarrow... Let's go back and have some food.
====Return to the camp and prepare dinner====
;(Upon walking farther away from the camp, optional)
:Pela: (It's probably best to stick close to the camp...)
;(While walking)
:Lynx: Pela...
:Pela: Hm? What's up?
:Lynx: We... don't really need that stove to cook.
:Pela: ...I know. But since we were looking for food, I figured we might as well try to fix the stove.
;(Upon walking towards the camp)
:Lynx: I think there's something in the camp... Be careful.
:Pela: Is it some kind of animal?
----
;(Approach camp)
:Pela: ...Lynxy, wait. That thing in the camp is a dangerous Fragmentum creature.
:Lynx: Mm, I see it too. But it doesn't seem aggressive... and it's all chubby and cute...
:Pela: Don't be fooled by its appearance. About 20% of our Silvermane Guard Fragmentum losses are a result of chasing this creature.
:Pela: We haven't figured out everything about it yet, but there's one thing we're sure of... they have the power to control people. We need to be careful.
:Lynx: Huh? But this little buddy gave me something good last time, and it didn't hurt me...
:Pela: That must be the first step in their mind control process. You were lucky.
:Pela: We should defeat it just to be safe. Fragmentum creatures are Belobog's enemies — they shouldn't be trusted.
:Lynx: Ah, but...
:Pela: Mm?
:Lynx: I didn't even get to take a photo of it last time. Now's a good chance...
:Lynx: Can I at least take a picture, Pela? That's also my job as a researcher.
:Pela: ...I understand, but the sound of the shutter and the camera bulb might send it into a frenzy...
:Lynx: ...Ah, it noticed us.
:Pela: It might be looking for an opportunity to attack. Be careful!
====(Optional) Take a picture of the mysterious creature====
;(After taking a picture)
:Lynx: Finally got a picture...
: It disappeared.
::Pela: It disappeared... Did it run away?
::Lynx: Yeah... that's the nature of these little things. They disappear in a flash when they get scared.
: Maybe it's still around somewhere.
::Pela: It disappeared... Lynxy, be on the lookout for an ambush.
::Lynx: Don't worry, Pela... that's the nature of these little things. They disappear in a flash when they get scared.
:Lynx: That's my conclusion from my long-term observations. As for those lost Guards... maybe they were chasing these little creatures and couldn't find their way back.
:Pela: ...
:Pela: Sorry. Maybe I was overreacting...
:Lynx: Don't be sorry. It pays to be careful.
:Lynx: Anyway, crisis resolved! We can now make some food...
:Lynx: ...Huh? Our little buddy seems to have dropped something.
====(Optional) Eliminate the mysterious creature====
;(Approach Warp Trotter)
:Pela: Careful, Lynx — It's going to attack!
;(Begin battle against )
----
;(After the battle)
:Pela: Phew... Hopefully it won't be coming back any time soon.
:Lynx: It disappeared again...
:Pela: It must have used some Fragmentum loophole to escape. Do you really want to take after it, Lynxy?
:Lynx: No, just a bit curious. BUt these guys do disappear in a flash when they get scared.
:Lynx: Anyway, crisis resolved! We can now make some food...
:Lynx: ...Huh? Our little buddy seems to have dropped something.
====Investigate the item left by the mysterious creature====
;(Investigate marked location)
:Pela: Huh? This is...
:Pela: Awesome! Lynxy, look! It's a Geomarrow Activation Component! I never thought we'd find one here!
:Pela: What about you, Lynxy? Did you find anything good?
:Lynx: ...Ah! N-Nothing! Just some old stuff...
:Lynx: I-It's great we finally found the component! Let's go fix the stove!
:Pela: Huh? Lynxy... is something the matter?
:Lynx: ...Nope, nope, it's all your imagination!
:Pela: ...Oh, uh... Why don't you take a break — I'll have a look at this stove.
;(Obtain )
====Fix the heater====
: Repair
;(Solve Magflow Link)
:Pela: Okay, all done.
:Lynx: What is this magic? I couldn't figure out the problem at all...
:Pela: No magic here. Just a trick or two I learned from Serval.
:Lynx: My sister...
:Pela: Yep, that's her. What's the matter?
:Lynx: Ah... nothing. Just... sometimes I'm a bit jealous of Serval, you know? She knows everything...
:Pela: Hehe, same as you, then.
:Lynx: ...Huh?
:Pela: I'm serious! Outdoor explorer, mechanic — they're both experts in their field, right? I think you two are awesome.
:Pela: Anyway, it wouldn't be hard for you to get her to teach you something. You're her sister, she'd be happy to teach you
:Lynx: You say that, but... 
:Lynx: ...Never mind. It's getting late. Let's cook something
:Pela: Yay! That's my favorite part... Wait, no, my favorite part is watching the aurora!
:Lynx: Anyways, let's take a look at what ingredients we have.
:Lynx: (Every ingredient has its own effect, and combining them will create unexpected results...)
:Lynx: (What kind of effects are they gonna make? Let's just give it a try.)
;(Submit )
::Lynx: Ah... 700-year-old raw fish.
::Pela: You don't have to emphasize the "700 years" part, y'know...
::Lynx: The older, the rarer! Plus, you had to enter that ruin for it — even more special...
::Pela: You don't have to emphasize that either!
::Lynx: Then let's just say it'll be tonight's main course, haha. Time to show you my culinary skills!
::Pela: Um... Why don't I cook tonight? You can take a break....
::Lynx: It's no problem! Leave it to me.
::
::Lynx: Ta-da. Frostweave Salmon Bread is ready!
;(Submit )
::Lynx: Ah... Cute mimic snow slug.
::Pela: Are we really going to eat that...?
::Lynx: Don't worry. It may not look tasty, but I guarantee you'll fall in love with it on the first bite.
::Pela: I still don't believe this is supposed to be food...
::
::Lynx: Ta-da. The Stone-Roasted Meat Skewer is ready!
;(Submit both and )
::Lynx: Ah... raw fish from 700 years ago and some cute mimic snow slug.
::Pela: I don't think... either is edible...
::Lynx: Don't worry.. We'll make them into a hotpot. Just add cream, biscuit crumbs, and the canned sardines I brought...
::Pela: You're putting canned sardines into a hotpot!? Please don't say that...
::Lynx: Well then, this will be the main course for tonight — I'll show you what I can do as a chef!
::Pela: Um... Why don't I cook tonight? You can take a break...
::Lynx: Come on, it's fine. Just leave it to me.
::
::Lynx: Ta-da! The super delicious Snow Plains Combo Stew is ready!
;(After cooking)
:Pela: Ah... It smells so good! I'm gonna dig in!
----
:You feel an amazing energy as you enjoy a meal with your fellow campers...
----
:Pela: I'm so full... guess now we just wait for the light show.
:Lynx: The aurora should start soon. Before that... let's just chat.
:Lynx: Pela... Why did you suddenly want to come camping?
:Pela: Huh?
:Lynx: Well, aren't you always saying how you just wanna lie in bed when you get off work?
:Pela: Ah! Sorry, I hope this trip didn't surprise you...
:Lynx: No, no! I mean, sure, I'm not the most sociable of people, but I love camping with a good friend.
:lynx: I had a great time — it's been a lot of fun.
:Pela: ...
:Lynx: You're always like this. Even on this camping trip, you keep trying to do things.
:Lynx: You really don't need to, just leave it to me. Camping is about relaxing — no need to be so tense.
:Pela: ...I know.
:Pela: It's just, I was really getting into the camping! I felt like I finally got around to doing the things i always wanted to...
:Lynx: So all those comics you drew for the Tales series didn't count?
:Pela: Uhh... I have to hide those from other people. I get a little embarrassed.
:Lynx: You care about other people's opinions too much.
:Pela: I suppose. I wish I could be more like you...
:Lynx: I... I'm not as cool as you think.
:Lynx: I don't know how to handle my brother and sister... They keep treating me as a kid.
:Lynx: They're both really capable and awesome people... Which is why I feel really pressured when I'm with them...
:Lynx: I'm already a grown-up... I have the capacity to do what I want to do...
:Lynx: Why can't they just stop worrying and let me do what I want?
:Pela: ...That's how families are.
:Lynx: ...Ah, sorry. I shouldn't talk about this. I was getting carried away.
:Pela: It's okay... It's not like I even know what she looked like...
:Pela: So... when's the aurora due...?
:Pela: *gasp* Careful, Lynx — there are monsters coming!
;(Begin battle against ,)
:Pela: How did it get here!?
:Lynx: Let's focus on the fight first.
----
;(After the battle)
:Pela: These Fragmentum monsters are coming out of thin air...
:Lynx: They were probably attracted by the stove. The Stellaron crisis is over, why are there still so many monsters?
: It takes time for the Fragmentum's influence to fade.
::Pela: Ah. I see...
: With me around, there's no need to worry!
::Pela: Hmph, we could've handled it..
:Pela: Wait — where did you come from all of a sudden!?
:Lynx: Pela? Who is this?
:Pela: Um... This is the trailblazer — the savior of Belobog.
:Lynx: I see. Well, in that case, thanks for saving us — not to mention Belobog.
:Lynx: So, what's a big hero like you doing out here?
: Serval and Gepard sent me.
::Lynx: *sigh*...I knew it.
: Um... Er...
::Lynx: Never mind... I can take a guess. Serval and Gepard sent you to protect us, right?
:Lynx: They're always like this. It's impossible to get some private time as their younger sister.
: I didn't exactly see eye to eye with them...
::Pela: Then why did you still come here...
: That's how families are.
::Pela: Yeah...
::Pela: Hold on, isn't that what I just said?
:Lynx: Alright alright, It's all because Serval and Gepard are worrywarts. Besides, you did save us...
:Lynx: Since you followed us all the way here, you probably know why we're out camping today...
:Lynx: Stay and watch the aurora with us.
----
:At night
:Lynx: It's about time for it to appear...
:Pela: Hey! Lynxy! Look!
:Lynx: Come this way.
----
:
:Pela: Wow...
:Lynx: This is the largest aurora since the Stellaron crisis passed.
:Lynx: We're really lucky to see it.
:Pela: Yeah...
:Pela: Really lucky.
----
:Pela: So awesome... I got to taste Lynxy's cooking and see the aurora... This Snow Plains adventure was the best!
:Lynx: You look really happy.
:Pela: Huh? Me?
:Pela: Ahem! I—I'm not THAT happy, I, wh—what I mean is, uh...
: Say what's on your mind!
::Lynx: Yeah, go for it, Pela.
::Pela: I...
: Lynx will be upset...
::Pela: Huh!? I... I hope not...
::Lynx: It's okay. I won't be sad. I understand what Pela really feels.
: You weren't just here for the camping
::Pela: I was going to say that... but now I suddenly don't want to.
::Lynx: I understand what Pela really feels. You don't need to hide it.
:Pela: *sigh* It was a great experience... thanks to you Lynxy, not to mention you, (Trailblazer).
:Pela: Anyway, what now? Back home? Wanna go out for a midnight snack later?
:Lynx: We can! I heard a pretty good steak place opening up in the south of the Administrative District. We can go try it out together
:Pela: Sounds good! That's settled then. Let's part ways for now and rendezvous later tonight.
:Lynx: Ah, Pela! Hold on...
:Pela: Mm? What's up?
:
:Lynx: This... is for you.
:Pela: What... is this?
:Lynx: I found this on the ground before I fixed the stove. I guess that Fragmentum creature dropped it.
:Lynx: I think... it might be best if you check it out yourself.
:Pela: "Penya... Sergeyevna..."
:Pela: ...I see. Thank you, Lynxy.
:Pela: ...Let's meet up here later tonight... I better get going.
:Lynx: Mm...
----
:
===Report your findings from the Snow Plains to the Landau siblings===
;(When in the Administrative District)
:(Trailblazer): (I should go talk to Gepard and Serval at the workshop...)
;(Approach the workshop)
:Gepard: Between expeditions, it's always a challenge to make time with Lynx... but why doesn't she want to talk to us?
:Serval: Calm down. We've got (Trailblazer) to help us.
----
;(Upon entering the workshop)
:Serval: Hey, (Trailblazer)! We were just talking about you.
:Gepard: How was it... with Lynx?
:Tells the Landaus everything that happened in the snow plains...
:Gepard: So, that "stranger" was Pela...
:Serval: What can I say... Sounds like a Lynxy expedition alright.
: You're not gonna get angry at her, right?
::Serval: No way. As long as Lynxy can protect herself, I'll be supportive in all her ventures!
::Gepard: Serval is right this time... This was Lynx's own choice. We won't be upset with her.
::Gepard: But... exploring the Snow Plains is still quite dangerous...
::Serval: Alright, alright, calm down. She'll be able to look after herself.
: So, mission accomplished?
:Serval: Thank you, (Trailblazer), for being around for this. Gepard was too anxious to sleep.
:Gepard: I... Sis, you're exaggerating.
:Serval: As for how we'll communicate with Lynxy in the future... We'll have to have a good think about it.
:Serval: You really helped us a lot this time. Thank you so much, (Trailblazer)!
----
:
===Head to the museum to find the two===
;(Approach Lynx)
:Lynx: Ah, you're here too.
: Yep.
::Lynx: Then let's wait for Pela together. She's in the storage room.
:: What's she doing in there?
: You're here early, Lynx.
::Lynx: Mm-hmm. I went back, stored my supplies, and had a shower. It didn't take long.
::Lynx: Let's wait for Pela together. She's in the storage room.
:: What's she doing in there?
: Is Pela not here yet?
::Lynx: She's in the storage room. Let's wait for her.
:: What's she doing in there?
:Lynx: I think she's looking over the contents of that floppy disk... Let's give her some time.
: What's in the floppy disk?
::Lynx: I don't know the exact details, but...
: So, she might be a while?
:Lynx: ...
:Lynx: I'm guessing you don't know about Pela's mother, right?
:Lynx: Penya Sergeyevna was Belobog's greatest outdoor explorer — passed away sixteen years ago.
: That name sounds familiar.
::Lynx: She's famous in Belobog. You might have heard other people mention her in passing.
: Pela never mentioned...
::Lynx: Mm, she doesn't usually talk about it.
:: You sure it's okay to tell me this?
:::Lynx: I asked her already... and she said it was fine. She seems like she really trusts you.
:: I can understand why...
:::Lynx: Looks like Pela was right in trusting you.
: Cocolia allowed explorations outside of the city?
::Lynx: The exploration team belonged to the Silvermane Guards at the time, so they had authorization.
:Lynx: *sigh* Anyway, something else happened sixteen years ago...
:Lynx: ...Pela was born.
: ...
: You mean...
:Lynx: ...Yes.
:Lynx: They say that despite her pregnancy, Madam Penya insisted on staying at the Snow Plains camp. She couldn't go to the front lines, but she was able to handle administrative duties.
:Lynx: Then, finally... the day of Pela's birth arrived.
:Lynx: Tragically, there were complications... Other serious incidents occurred that day — the exploration team ran into a blizzard and the camp lost contact with the outside world... No one knew what to do.
:Lynx: The only good thing... was that Pela was born healthy.
: I never knew any of this.
::Lynx: ...
: So what about the floppy disk?
:Lynx: The floppy disk... If the old research team members were telling the truth...
:Lynx: ...It was something Madam Penya left behind.

:
:Pela: ...
:Lynx: Madam Penya asked a colleague to take her terminal and floppy disk back to Belobog — she said they contained a "treasure" for Pela.
:Lynx: She said that once Pela was older, she'd be able to understand the contents.
:Pela: ...
:Lynx: But that colleague was attacked by Fragmentum creatues on his way back to the city.
:Lynx: During the attack he dropped the floppy disk in confusion, only managing to bring back the terminal.
:Lynx: Apart from Madam Penya, nobody knew what the floppy disk contained... but they say she left Pela many letters.

;(Cutscene plays)
::Lynx: From the moment she knew she was pregnant
::Lynx: ...to the day of Pela's birth...
::Lynx: Never missing a day.
::Pela: Mom...
::Pela: Mom...
::Pela: Mom...

:Lynx: ...
: Lynx, are you okay?
::Lynx: I'm fine...
: ...
:Lynx: ...
:Lynx: (Trailblazer), there's somewhere I want to go — will you come too?
: Absolutely
: Where to?
:Lynx: ...The workshop.
:Lynx: I'll wait for you there.
===Listen to all the Landau siblings talk to each other===
;(Enter the workshop)
:Lynx: ...
:Lynx: Serval, Gepard...
:Lynx: ...
:Lynx: ...I'm back!
:Gepard: Lynx! You're finally back...
:Gepard: Uh, what's with the red eyes? Did something happen?
:Serval: ...Gepard! Way to make it obvious.
:Serval: Welcome home, Lynxy.
:Lynx: Mm...
:Serval: Aww, it's okay. It's okay...
:Serval: Seems like a lot went down in the Snow Plains. Thanks again for your help, (Trailblazer).
:Serval: I think we need a little private time. See you soon.
:(Trailblazer): (I should give them some time together...)

;(Listen to the Landaus inside the workshop, optional)
:Lynx: I'm sorry... for always being so stubborn...
:Serval: That's okay. Gepard and I understand... right, Gepard?
:Gepard: Huh? Ah... Yes, of course.
:Gepard: But I have to say, Lynx... I think it's dangerous for you to leave the city on your own...
:Serval: *sigh* Gepard! Are you quite finished?
