**First meeting**

▶️
 Hello, you're the new Builder, right? Nice ta meet you, I'm Petra.
Stranger

▶️
 If you find anything of value from the old world, please donate it to us. You have no idea how much a discovery can change the world. Don't listen to what the Church has to say; we just want to progress towards a better world!
▶️
 The people in church are so stubborn! Why shouldn't we use technology from the old world? They obviously can make our lives more convenient. It really doesn't make any sense...
▶️
 There are many forgotten technologies from the old world. Last time, Arlo found a self-heating box. When Merlin tried heating an egg with it, it almost blew up the Research Center.
▶️
 I'm originally from Ethea. I came here because there are several old documents saying there exists a computer artificial intelligence called the All Source around these parts. You still see a robot or two out and about in our cities once in a while, but this All Source AI was supposed to be one of the best AIs ever created. I want to meet it!
 Research shows, in the ruins near Portia, there's a lot of valuable contraptions from the old time and they are waiting to be discovered. It would be a pleasure to work here!
 My teacher Merlin has to be in the top 10 anthropologists in the world. I need to work hard to catch up to him!
 The research center can help with the optical disk you found in the ruins. There has to be something in there that you can use.
 Hello! The research center welcomes you at all times.
  My busy work schedule at the research center can't stop me from reading books. I'd like the books that cover a variety of subjects.
Friend

 It's really nice to see you. My teacher praised me for the research progress on the optical disc.
 Have you found any new discs recently? You gotta hand them over to me.
Girlfriend

 Thank you for supporting my work dear. Rediscovering the science and technology from the old times is my ultimate dream.
 Wanna ask me out? My teacher praised me again. I might get a break tomorrow.
Spouse

 Take care, don't overwork yourself.
 Let's head out and have some fun!
 I'm so glad you're in my life!
Nemesis

 Excuse me I'm busy. Can you get out of the way?
