Script
Exhibition Room
Ask the doctor about the crystals again.
Dr. Miller: Miss [Player], I saw you staring at this piece of Bakerlon crystal for a while...
Dr. Miller: Is there something wrong?
You: Not with the crystal...
You: It was only after learning that the crystals may be responsible for the strange phenomena that I began to notice them.
You: You instructed me to study the unique properties of the crystals on the train.
You: But... no matter how much a layman like me studies, I can only scratch the surface.
Dr. Miller: Don't say that, Miss [Player]. Compared to the other passengers, you're not a layman.
Dr. Miller: Unfortunately, there are two important visitors coming later, and I need to be the one to receive them. Otherwise...
Suddenly, Dr. Miller seems to think of something.
Dr. Miller: Oh, by the way, there is a woman who frequently visits my lectures.
Dr. Miller: She is an avid ore lover, spending every day looking at the ores on the train and taking notes.
Dr. Miller: You may find it useful to follow her and tag along.
You: Sure. Should I go find her now?
Dr. Miller: Yeah... but that might be difficult.
Dr. Miller: She doesn't like to be disturbed when she is studying ores.
Dr. Miller: So don't disturb her, Miss [Player]. I would advise you to follow and observe quietly.
You: Understood. I'll do my best not to disturb her.
You: But where is that woman now?
Dr. Miller smiles, pointing at a woman taking notes on a piece of Bakerlon crystal near the exhibition entrance.
Dr. Miller: She's right there.
You: Okay, I'll take a look.
Follow Ore Enthusiast and observe with him.
As you walk toward the exhibition entrance, you happen upon a familiar figure...
You: Mr. Wing? Are you here for the exhibition?
Artem: Yes, I want to understand more about Bakerlon crystals.
Artem: What about you? You seem to be in a rush. Did something urgent happen?
You: Actually...
You tell Artem what Dr. Miller just said to you.
Artem: I see.
Artem: I will get a cup of coffee after a tour of the exhibition. If you get tired, come find me in the dining carriage.
Artem: Of course, feel free to come by whenever you need help.
You: Thank you, Mr. Wing!
[Begin Observation Event]
Enthusiast: The refraction index of this crystal doesn't seem to be high.
Enthusiast: I would advise the doctor to raise the base a bit higher if possible.
Enthusiast: The spacing between these two together is too small...
Passenger: Lady, shall I make room for you?
Passenger: You seem to be recording something.
Enthusiast: N-N-No, dear God!
Passenger: Um... did I say something wrong?
Enthusiast: The translucency of the crystal decorations here isn't bad.
Enthusiast: It's not as good as the quality of the crystals in the showroom...
Enthusiast: But it's comparable to the regular ones that appear in magazines.
Enthusiast: I recall there was a pink crystal in the showroom that was quite unique...
Enthusiast: Is it because it was placed beside other crystals?
Enthusiast: The distance between the crystals... is worth researching.
Attendant: Miss, would you like something to drink?
Attendant: Or perhaps some reading material on the crystals?
Enthusiast: No... bye!
Attendant: ...Eh!?
[End Observation Event]
You: The distance between crystals... I should ask Dr. Miller about this.
After learning more about the crystals, talk to the doctor.
You: I'm back, Dr. Miller.
Dr. Miller: Miss [Player], perfect timing. I'm just about done here.
Dr. Miller: How is it going? Did you learn anything?
You: I followed that woman as she admired various Bakerlon crystals, and learned a lot.
You: And then I was thinking... each piece of Bakerlon crystal has a different transmittance and refractive index...
You: And the distance between the crystals seems to affect these indexes...
You: Could... these factors be responsible for the strange phenomena that appear at night?
Dr. Miller smiles mysteriously.
Dr. Miller: Indeed, that's a possibility, especially the distance between crystals...
Dr. Miller: But I need a little more time for a detailed experimental analysis.
Dr. Miller: After all, it takes a lot of time to check every single element.
You: Understood. I'll come back in a few days.
