1,TEXT_CHRHDB941_05446_SEQ_01,"Inspector's Log:
The Case of the Fiendish Fugitives continues! Detective Hardiboiled's latest lead led us beyond the dome in pursuit of a vandal wolfman. It was there, in a charmingly rustic town beset by troubles, that an unfortunate misunderstanding saw my loyal assistant arrested on suspicion of explosive mayhem. Naturally, I would not rest until her good name was cleared! Working closely with the detective, we apprehended the true perpetrator and freed the deeply traumatized Nashu from her unjust confinement. 'Tis a pity, though, that not all ended happily ever after: Carnelian, a dastardly villain from Hardiboiled's past, eluded our grasp. His involvement in the greater scheme has been made abundantly apparent, and I, Hildibrand, agent of enquiry, will be ready the next time the Crime King rears his metamorphic head!
　　　　　　　　　　　　*　*　*
Having extracted additional information from the salvaged storage device, Hardiboiled briefs you on yet another monster-fied criminal. This particular ne'er-do-well now inhabits the body of a cactuar and has a well-documented record for operating air-wheelers with reckless abandon. According to Hildibrand, a speedy succulent matching the description was witnessed streaking southwards upon some flying contraption, and Hardiboiled concludes that catching said fugitive will be impossible on foot. It would seem a trip to the nearby custom air-wheeler shop is in order..."
2,"TEXT_CHRHDB941_05446_SEQ_02","Hardiboiled wishes to retrieve his personal air-wheeler from Monom's care, but the mechanic is doubtful the neglected vehicle will run without replacing a number of key parts. The detective puts you in charge of obtaining the superconductor coil, a task which should be made easier with the help of a handy gadget supplied by Monom. Once in the western district of the old Alexandria ruins, you are to set off the distress signal, and salvage the component from any defective sentries that respond."
3,"TEXT_CHRHDB941_05446_SEQ_03","Moments after you trigger the signal, you are assaulted by a wheeler-mounted soldier. One short battle later and you have the part you need to deliver into Monom's waiting hands."
4,"TEXT_CHRHDB941_05446_SEQ_04","The mechanic seems satisfied with the scavenged coil, but also perplexed by Hardiboiled's failure to return from what should have been a routine shopping trip. Certain that a simple battery is readily available, he sends you off to the Nexus Arcade to search for your tardy companions."
5,"TEXT_CHRHDB941_05446_SEQ_05","An irritated Hardiboiled explains how Nashu and the inspector suddenly wandered off, leaving him alone with his purchased battery. You begin searching for them together, and find the impulsive pair enjoying an unexpected reunion with a member of the Gentle Dead Men. At Hildibrand's urging, the zombie proceeds to tell you of his efforts to recruit the Yuweyawata undead, and from this account you learn the name of the sole surviving researcher and mastermind behind the fiendish fugitives' escapades: Keshkayi. Hardiboiled heads back to Monom's shop, promising to soon return upon his newly repaired air-wheeler."
6,"TEXT_CHRHDB941_05446_SEQ_06","It is not long before Hardiboiled comes racing back atop the custom-built “Night Stallion,” much to the amazed delight of your comrades. In response to a simple question from Nashu, the detective launches into an overly descriptive story of how he finally took down the Crime King, and subsequently lost his boiling need for speed. With Carnelian back on the streets, however, Hardiboiled is eager to ride again."

50,"TEXT_CHRHDB941_05446_HARDIBOILED_000_002","The first file just so happened to be a record of Carnelian's procedure. Seems the bastard's soul was poured into one of those “clot” type monsters."
51,"TEXT_CHRHDB941_05446_HARDIBOILED_000_003","They've got an annoying talent for mimicking shapes and faces, which is exactly what Carnelian took advantage of when he tricked us with his fake Kemakka."

53,"TEXT_CHRHDB941_05446_HARDIBOILED_000_005","The other file I pulled had details on yet another monster-fied criminal."
54,"TEXT_CHRHDB941_05446_HARDIBOILED_000_006","This mook was nabbed for repeated vehicular violations─riding his air-wheeler too fast, making reckless maneuvers endangering others, that sort of thing. According to the data, he's running around in the body of a cactuar now."
55,"TEXT_CHRHDB941_05446_HARDIBOILED_000_007","Judging by what we've seen of that researcher's schemes, he'll have dispatched the prickly speed demon somewhere outside the dome. But where...?"
56,"TEXT_CHRHDB941_05446_HILDIBRAND_000_008","Rejoice, my good detective. For I, Hildibrand, agent of enquiry, come bearing the very direction you seek!"
57,"TEXT_CHRHDB941_05446_HILDIBRAND_000_009","I have it straight from the mouth of the <Emphasis>real</Emphasis> Kemakka that an ambulatory cactus piloting a flying contraption was supposedly observed streaking through the sky on a southerly bearing."
58,"TEXT_CHRHDB941_05446_HILDIBRAND_000_010","Alas, despite hastening to confirm this sighting, our intrepid sheriff arrived too late to see the needle-covered individual in question. The report was summarily dismissed as fanciful imaginings of inebriated townsfolk."
59,"TEXT_CHRHDB941_05446_HILDIBRAND_000_011","The insistent chirp of veteran instinct nonetheless impelled me to investigate! Thus did my faithful assistant and I venture further south to question the colorful crowds of Toolly-yodel."

62,"TEXT_CHRHDB941_05446_NASHUMHAKARACCA_000_014","They said it was moving at an incredible pace, sat astride a vehicle like the ones the “mechanical invaders” had ridden. It was last seen zipping past a dirigible before vanishing into the clouds to the south..."
63,"TEXT_CHRHDB941_05446_HARDIBOILED_000_015","Alexandria's soldiers ride on air-wheelers, so unless there's another flying cactuar out there somewhere, I think we have our man. Good work!"

66,"TEXT_CHRHDB941_05446_HARDIBOILED_000_018","Hardly had to bait the hook. They're the real deal, alright... Although come to think of it, I don't know why anyone would bother impersonating either of 'em to begin with."
67,"TEXT_CHRHDB941_05446_HARDIBOILED_000_019","At least the lead seems solid enough. But if we're serious about catching this guy, we'll need an air-wheeler of our own. Come on─there's a shop nearby that does custom jobs."
