Script
Exhibition Room
The doctor seems troubled. Ask him about it.
You: Dr. Miller, is something bothering you? You seem troubled...
Dr. Miller: Miss [Player], you're right. There is one thing bothering me.
Dr. Miller: Recently, a passenger donated a book of authentic notes related to Bakerlon crystals, and I put it on display in the exhibition.
Dr. Miller: But when I came to check on it today, it was gone.
You: Really!? Did you check the surveillance footage?
Dr. Miller: Yes, a crew member did. It was taken away by a female passenger in a hat.
You: In that case, why don't you go ask that passenger?
Hearing your question, Dr. Miller shakes his head.
Dr. Miller: From the surveillance footage, the passenger was very natural in taking the notes, almost like they belonged to her.
Dr. Miller: So I can't tell if she meant to take them... or if she did it by accident.
Dr. Miller: If she took them by accident and found herself surrounded by crew members and myself...
Dr. Miller pauses with hesitation, and you understand his concern.
You: I understand. I'll go talk to that passenger for you.
Hearing this, Dr. Miller's tense eyebrows relax a bit.
Dr. Miller: It's nice that you're here to help. The passenger was walking toward the dining carriage.
You: Okay, leave it to me.
Food Truck
Find out if that passenger took the notes on purpose.
Artem: ...It's better to eat something plain. She might not like the way Bakerlon food tastes.
Luke: But she hasn't been herself lately. She needs to replenish her energy.
Upon entering the dining carriage, you see Artem and Luke at the bar discussing something.
You: Luke, Mr. Wing? What are you two doing here?
Artem: We...
Luke: Nothing, just talking about the meals on the train.
Luke: How about you? Are you here for afternoon tea?
You: No, I'm here to see the passenger who took the authentic notes from the exhibition.
Luke: She took the authentic notes?
Artem: A passenger from the exhibition...
You tell Artem and Luke everything that happened in detail.
Artem: I see...
Artem: In that case, we won't keep you.
Artem: I'll be resting at the dining carriage. Feel free to come find me if you get tired.
Luke: I'll be at the exhibition. Come have a chat if you're free.
You: I will.
[Begin Observation Event]
Passenger: These notes are wonderful...
Passenger: I want to read them all in one sitting!
Passenger: Strange, I thought I was in the showroom...
Passenger: In the early days of mining for crystals,
Passenger: There were many obstacles...
Passenger: Some said that mining crystals would pollute the water supply...
Passenger: And affect the people's livelihood...
Passenger: Yeah... Let me take a look!
Passenger: The characteristics of pink crystals?
Passenger: Eh? I can't read the notes here...
Passenger: Could it be pollution from the past!?
Passenger: Let's check out what's in the showcase.
Passenger: Nice texture...
Passenger: It's been a very rewarding day.
Passenger: "Bakerlon crystal clusters have the highest appreciation value."
Passenger: Yeah, that's right! This speaks to my heart!
Passenger: Who wouldn't love shiny crystal-adorned accessories?
Passenger: Eh!?
Passenger: This notebook should be in the showcase.
Passenger: Why did I take it with me?
Passenger: Oh no... I was too fascinated by it.
Passenger: I have to return it quickly!
Passenger: Yeah... After I'm done reading it though!
[End Observation Event]
You: This passenger doesn't bear any ill will. I should tell Dr. Miller.
Tell the doctor that passenger didn't take the notes on purpose.
Dr. Miller: Miss [Player], you're back!
Dr. Miller: So, what did the passenger say?
You: Don't worry, Dr. Miller. She was too fascinated with the authentic notes and left with them by mistake.
You: She said she will return them once she's done reading them.
Dr. Miller lets out a long sigh, his expression much more relaxed than before.
Dr. Miller: That's great news. Otherwise, I wouldn't know what to do.
You: By the way, that passenger mentioned that there was a lot of resistance in the early stages of mining Bakerlon crystals...
You: Is she talking about what the Kahn family encountered one hundred years ago?
Hearing your question, Dr. Miller smiles mysteriously.
Dr. Miller: That's right. Part of the information is recorded in the notes, but not all of it.
Dr. Miller: What happened to the Kahn family was a bit more complicated than the notes suggest.
You: Eh? Then... can you tell me?
Dr. Miller: Of course. You've helped me so much. It's the least I can do.
Then, all of a sudden, Dr. Miller lowers his voice.
Dr. Miller: In the beginning, people didn't really know much about Bakerlon crystals, so they were skeptical when the Kahn family announced their mining plans.
Dr. Miller: It's normal to have initial concerns and doubts.
Dr. Miller: But over time, other families who were at odds with the Kahn family got involved...
Dr. Miller: They would spread rumors in an attempt to thwart their Bakerlon crystal mining operations.
Dr. Miller: The Kahn family tried everything to make things right.
Dr. Miller: And those opposing forces gradually disappeared.
You: I didn't know there was such a story...
You: Understood. Thanks, Dr. Miller.
