Episode I - Main quest - Forest
[Principal's Office]
Tyrell:
-Are you [NAME], the Hunter? I'm Principal Tyrell.
We have a bad situation... We need to act quickly.
Did you hear about the explosion on Ragol?
Very well. Pay attention and listen to me.
We've lost contact with Pioneer 1. We have no idea what has happened.
W've sent unmanned search units, but communication seems to cut off near the surface.
What happened on Ragol? What occurred on Pioneer 1? Are the people on board alive?
The council made a decision to send a manned search team.
You are a skilled Hunter. We need your help.
We have no choice... We need a place to settle on.
[push A]
Uh, could you...
......
...No, it's nothing. Take care and good luck.
-I didn't say anything.
Go talk to my secretary. Irene will help you.
Irene:
-Well, let me brief you on your mission.
Once you're on the surface of Ragol, check the status of the residential area.
Checking the status of the Central Dome is a good idea.
A transporter was launched earlier. You can go down to Ragol directly from the city.
It may be a little risky, so please be careful.
That's all.
......
Um, excuse me...
Oh, sorry..., no, nothing. I wish you the best of luck.
-This is just between us, OK?
The principal's daughter was on Pioneer 1.
After that explosion, he's been constantly worrying about her. He can't even sleep.
This is a personal request. If it's possible...
Find out what happened to her.
He isn't in a position to ask you such a personal favor.
Red Ring Rico...
A famous hunter and a top scientist on Pioneer 1.
Rico's his only daughter.
Please, look for her!
-Red Ring Rico is the principal's daughter.
I hope she's safe...
Tyrell:
-We can't return to our planet. Now we must emigrate to Ragol.
If we don't settle on Ragol, then we'd just drift about in space forever...
I'm putting my trust in you.
Scientist at desk:
-Our planet was tearing itself apart, we couldn't stop it.
So we started searching for a new planet, and we found Ragol with unmanned search units.
A huge interstellar transport ship was sent to Ragol. That was Pioneer 1.
Pioneer 1 confirmed Ragol as a suitable location to settle on. And a second ship departed.
That was us... Pioneer 2.
Oh, sorry. You already knew that.
-Pioneer 1 and 2 are identical spaceships.
Each Pioneer can travel in space, holding 30,000 people.
Scientist:
-When our ship was led by the signal from Pioneer 1 to land on Ragol, we saw...
that strange explosion!
Pioneer 2 decided to orbit Ragol and collect data before landing on the surface.
-I was against the immigration!
If a planet dies, the people have to die with it. Don't you think so?
[city]
Scientist:
-Tell me, tell me, tell me!
What happened? How are they? We have no info at all!
Without any info, we can't go on! Your mission is important!
-Pioneer 1... is anyone still alive?
Man in orange:
-Ah, I miss her...
Did you know that Red Ring Rico was on board Pioneer 1.
They asked her to go because she's a great scientist, but she's also a famous hunter.
I believe that she can deal with any emergency situation, but that explosion was HUGE...
Ah, I really miss her...
Woman at shops:
-Have you met the tekkers?
To discover the true power of an unknown item, it must be examined by them.
But you can't always believe them. Each tekker has its own specialty.
Woman close to teleporter to Principal's Office:
-The explosion occurred just after the landing announcement.
The news spread very quickly among the citizen levels.
The people who have family on Pioneer 1 are worried.
Man close to Medical Center:
-Rico loved the color red. She always wore something red.
The red armlet on her left arm left an impression on people.
So that's why we called her Red Ring Rico.
Well she must be alive. I know how tough she is.
Woman close to Hunter's Guild:
-The Hunter's Guild...
We generally call Hunters, Rangers and Forces just "hunters."
The Guild is a place for hunters to get a lot of information.
They also assist hunters by finding jobs at the counter.
They aren't a local office of the government. They're totally independent.
They also have total extraterritoriality inside the Guild.
Red soldier:
-This area is for A rank hunters who sometimes take part in secret missions.
It is isolated from other areas for security reasons. Thank you for understanding.
Take this transporter for instance. It has direct access to Ragol. But access is restricted.
Only a few hunters are permitted to use it.
Blue soldier:
-Pioneer 2 departed after Pioneer 1 confirmed that Ragol was suitable for colonization.
Because of Pioneer 1's report, we only brought a small army and very few weapons.
Did we take too big a risk?
Nurse in Medical Center:
-Busy, busy!
People in this area are always getting themselves hurt.
It's OK though. If it's just a wound, we can heal them.
[Forest, Rico's messages]
-Ah, testing, testing...
Cough!
I'm Rico, Rico Tyrell. I'm a hunter.
This capsule is for anyone who has come here looking for me. I hope this helps you.
I don't know who you are, but you must know that there's something unusual about Ragol.
This is important. Pay attention to everything around you if you want to survive.
-Boomas... I don't like their weird faces.
Be careful, you don't want to get surrounded by them.
-Red gates are locked. Green means they're open. Of course you knew that...
-Don't show your back to a Savage Wolf! It'll attack if it sees this opening.
-What made the animals become so violent all of a sudden? They weren't before.
They were very quiet and friendly...
There must be some cause. I'll find it.
I know I'm a fool. This won't make me any richer.
Perhaps that's why I'm exalted by them... Red Ring Rico, ha, ha.
But I'm not really the great hunter citizens say I am.
They needed a hero. And I just happened to fill that position.
-Mothmants will keep appearing, one after another.
You have to strike them out at the root.
-Disable the laser fences by using the colored switches.
-Wow... bodies of dead animals...
We hunters sometimes use firearms, but this...
They were killed by firearms that are much stronger than ours!
-Rag Rappies are cowards, but they like to attack straight on.
When an Rag Rappy falls down, it may still be alive. So be careful.
-A disaster occurred. Things were shaking, then something broke through the surface.
And then it exploded in the Central Dome!
I don't know what to say...
For 7 years, we've tried to adjust and improve the environment.
What was it? Was it related to the accidents we've had recently?
-Look for a switch to activate the bridge!
-Pioneer 1 may have damaged the ecological system of Ragol before we were aware of it.
So, the native creatures tried to remove the invaders. That's one supposition.
But what about the explosion!?
I need more information. I have to go do some research.
-If you can't hit a Hildebear, try standing in front of it.
Of course, I don't miss.
-I heard that this tall column was built to commemorate the immigration of Pioneer 1.
But... it may just be me, but it doesn't look very new.
And these patterns... aren't they characters?
-Tactics are important, but strategy is vital.
You have to think about how you can put yourself into an advantageous situation.
Look, learn, analyze and judge. Think carefully.
-No. It won't open.
It might be easier to look for another way to get in.
[Principal's Office, during Forest]
Tyrell:
-How was the surface of Ragol?
Irene:
-How is everything? Have you found any clues leading to Red Ring Rico?
