Episode II - Online quest - VR - Reach for the dream
Client: Nol Renale
Job Description: Try the new simulator built to improve communication among hunters!
Reward: 300 Meseta
[city]
Nol:
-Remember me? I'm the journalist, Nol Renale.
Thank you for taking me to Ragol.
That experience on Ragol really changed my life!
I realized that there are some truths that are better left undiscovered.
But it's also important to face them. That's the harsh truth of reality.
I realize I need to find the truth for myself, not necessarily for others.
And my journalistic pursuit helped me realize this.
With my keen writing skills, I was able to get hired at the Lab.
I don't have to sneak into the city anymore.
I'll keep working until I reach my goal!
Well, that's enough about me...
I just started this job at the Lab. I'd like you to try RCS Play.
As you already know, here on Pioneer 2,
by using the Auto-Translator, you can communicate...
What? You don't know what the Auto-Translator is?
It's the "Word Select" part of what you hunters call "Chat."
Well, anyway.
RCS is a simulator designed to help you improve your chat skills,
which in turn will help you communicate while you're fighting.
That's it.
For more information, please select HELP in the simulator.
Teleporter coordinates have already been set.
It's ready to go any time you are.
But if you'd like to talk a little more...
[choice]
>Yes
[go to point 1]
>No
[go to point 3]
[point 1]
Nol:
-Really! All right!
If you've even been down on Ragol with other hunters,
you probably know that people have different chat speeds.
For example...
It's been a while. How are you doing?[view changes to Nol's right]
I'm doing okay. Although, I got attacked by Booma the other day.[view changes to Nol's left]
There are people like that, and there are people like this.[view back in front of Nol]
It's been a while. How are you doing?
[music stops, Nol pauses]
Fine.
Have you ever met people like that?[music is back]
They aren't always so brief because they're shy.
Sometimes it's because they don't have very good chatting skills.
Once you get the hang of conversation, you really can enjoy it.
But until you get used to it, chatting can often feel like a burden.
When I realized this, I had a new mission...
To make everyone capable of communicating to their fullest.
Chatting skills can be improved dramatically by simple training.
My hope is that people will use my RCS to improve their skills.
My wish is that everyone will have the ability to communicate more freely.
...
Do you have a little more time to spare?
[choice]
>Yes
[go to point 2]
>No
[go to point 3]
[point 2]
Nol:
-It wasn't easy to get approval from the Lab to pursue my mission.
This is a revolutionary change, you know?
Well...
I'm not trying to brag.
But what my point here is...
Never give up on your dreams!
You may say that I'm a bit of an over-achiever.
Hee hee hee...
Well, that's enough from me!
Now head over to RCS.
Here we go!
[go to point 4]
[point 3]
Nol:
-Yeah, you're right. I never know when to stop talking.
Sometimes I get so emotional that I just get carried away.
Sorry.
Please head over to RCS.
[point 4]
Oh, well!
I've forgotten one important thing!
RCS questions appear quick with message speed set to "Instant"!
This way, you can answer more quickly, and that's definitely convenient for you, isn't it?
Give it a try.
Well, I have another little info!
This simulator won't regard answers given by using "Word Select" as correct ones.
Answer in your own words.
... That's truly all for now. Do your best ! I'm looking forward to your result!
-Even though this is my first job, I take great pride in it.
If you score high with RCS, that means your chatting skill is very high.
And...
You can get the latest game in the simulator.
Oh, no worries. There's no extra charge for this.
But you have to find out how to get them yourself.
These games are so fun!
I stayed up all night playing them.
Oops, I almost got carried away again.
-The Lab recently recruited a large number of new employees.
A lot of civilians were actually hired, believe it or not.
To tell you the truth, I was a civilian.
Still, even though I'm now a Lab employee,
I don't have access to any of the inside information.
Even though I'm an ex-journalist, I'm still looking for information.
Man:
-It's been a while since the explosion.
But no one has made any official statement yet.
I wish they would come out and tell us what is going on.
I have a feeling that something terrible is going to happen soon.
Woman:
-It's a rare sight to see a hunter here.
Many of the Pioneer 2 government facilities are located in this area.
The "Lab" is also located here.
Watch yourself! A lot of high-ranking officials work in this area.
Girl:
-Ta la la...
Grown-ups are always worried about something.
The people on Pioneer 1 are just lost. They'll find their way home.
Ta la la...

*Good job. Now I will present you with a grade.
[if you got A Rank]
*# A Rank
*[NAME], you have been certified as expert hunter.
Keep practicing to become a perfect hunter.
[if you got B Rank]
*# B Rank
*[NAME], you have been recognized as an average hunter.
Chat skills will improve with practice.
So keep on practicing and soon you will be an expert hunter.
[if you got S Rank]
*# S Rank
*[NAME], you are part of an elite group of hunters.
I'm sure you'll be recognized as a hero in the near future.
[the following appears in either case, except if you got S Rank]
*Question tendencies and measures
[if your quiz score was worse than your battle score]
[NAME], you seem to lack general hunter knowledge.
Aggressive hunters tend to lack general hunter knowledge.
If you combine your power and knowledge as a hunter, you'll be fearless.
Work on your general hunter knowledge with RCS.
[if your battle score was worse than your quiz score]
[NAME], you seem to lack chatting skills during battle.
Chatting during battle will not only improve communication,
but it will also help you build better battle strategies.
Work on your chat skills using RCS.
[if you got S Rank, you can access the room behind all the red barriers]
[access terminal in the room]
[Chu Chus jump out four times, before loads of them jump out for a few seconds]
Narrator:
-You got Chu Chu Puzzle!
[city]
Nol:
-Good job!
So how was it? How was it?
Was it good?
Was it bad?
I'm so excited!
I want to hear what people think about my project.
Well, what was your score?
[if you got A Rank]
I see...
So you got an A Rank.
That's pretty good , but you still got a lot to learn.
It's not going to get any easier from here on.
Still, I'll be cheering for you!
Oh, yeah.
Here you go, it's a souvenir.
It's not much, but I hope you keep it to remember this little experience.
[if you have 10 Trimate, go to point 7]
Narrator:
-You got a Trimate!
[go to point 5]
[if you got B Rank]
Oh no...
You got a B Rank...
Well, that's what RCS is for!
Start training with RCS, and you'll be chatting like a pro in no time!
But I must warn you.
The training isn't going to be easy!
I'll be cheering for you!
You can do it, [NAME]!!
I know you can do it, [NAME]!
Good luck!
Oh, yeah.
Here you go, it's a souvenir.
It's not much, but I hope you keep it to remember this little experience.
[if you have 10 Monomate, go to point 7]
Narrator:
-You got a Monomate!
[if you got S Rank]
What?!
You're a S Rank!
No way!
I can't believe that you're smarter than I am!
But I'm a researcher...
How embarrassing...
I guess that means I've got to work harder.
Oh, yeah.
Here you go, it's a souvenir.
It's not much, but I hope you keep it to remember this little experience.
[if your inventory is full, go to point 8]
Narrator:
-You got a Monogrinder!
[the following shows in either case]
[point 5]
Nol:
-[if you didn't get the mini-game]
Looks like you didn't get the "Latest Game".
Good luck next time!
*Yawn*
Oh, sorry.
Another all nighter...
You might be better off not getting this game... For your own sake.
You can check out at the Guild Counter.
It's not much, but they will give you some Meseta as a reward.
OK. Hope to see you again!
[if you got the mini-game]
Oh, you got "Chu Chu Puzzle"!
Hee hee hee...
I hope you get some sleep, [NAME]!
*Yawn*
Oh, sorry.
Another all nighter.
Be careful not to play this game all night long.
[the following shows in either case]
You can check out at the Guild Counter.
It's not much, but they will give you some Meseta as a reward.
OK. Hope to see you again!
[if you had 10 of what Nol wanted to give you, or your inventory was full,
and talk to her again, go to point 8]
[point 6]
-I don't know if it's your improved chatting skills,
but you look like you can take on the whole world!
-You probably already know about "Red Ring Rico".
And that she's missing...
Rico was an excellent hunter and an outstanding scientist.
I admired her work.
Everything she researched had to be done by her own eyes and hands.
It's hard to find people like that any more.
I know she was on Ragol at the time of the explosion.
But we don't have any new information about her after that incident.
I really want to know what happened to her.
But I can't get involved, now that I work for the Lab.
I know someone is hiding something!
[point 7]
Nol:
-[if you had 10 Monomate/Trimate]
Wait a minute.
[if you got A Rank]
I was going to give you a Trimate.
[if you got B Rank]
I was going to give you a Monomate.
[the following shows in either case]
but you already got 10 of them!
Please come back when you free up your inventory.
[go to point 5]
[if your inventory was full]
Hey!
[if you got A Rank]
I was going to give you this Trimate.
[if you got B Rank]
I was going to give you this Monomate.
[if you got S Rank]
I was going to give you this Monogrinder.
[the following shows in either case]
But your inventory is full!
Please come back when you free up your inventory.
