10TEXT_LUCKTA002_03718_SEQ_00The dig site chief has noticed that Anogg and Konogg are conspicuously absent.
21TEXT_LUCKTA002_03718_SEQ_01Anogg and Konogg have apparently gone long enough without annoying the dig site chief that he has become concerned─concerned that they are plotting something behind his back. Given certain recent developments for which they were present, you cannot deny this possibility, nor should you have much trouble guessing where they might be found...
32TEXT_LUCKTA002_03718_SEQ_02You find Anogg and Konogg before the now-unguarded entrance to the machine graveyard. They lament that the door remains locked, but fortunately, you have a remedy for their woes: the key dropped by the disgraced watchman. Once you have handed it over to Anogg, there is little question as to whether or not the three of you will be heading inside to explore.
43TEXT_LUCKTA002_03718_SEQ_03You proceed down the excavation tunnel and make a rather explosive entrance into a reasonably large underground chamber, where you find several odd-looking and apparently territorial machina. Anogg and Konogg make short work of them with their bombs, and rush to the side of a strangely garbed woman lying prone─completely ignoring the indignant site chief, presumably drawn by the thunderous report of multiple unauthorized explosions, in so doing. The mysterious woman in white identifies herself as “2P,” but gives no further details, instead insisting that you delve deeper into the ruins to stop the “machine lifeforms”─which you gather must be the machina from earlier─without further ado.
54TEXT_LUCKTA002_03718_SEQ_04Though 2P finds her ingress further into the ruins stymied by a technologically secured door, Anogg and Konogg are not above using the same trick thrice, and blow the entire locking mechanism to smithereens before anyone can so much as make an alternative proposal. The way thus cleared, you are free at last to seek the truth of the machine graveyard─with Anogg and Konogg at your side whether you like it or not. ※The Copied Factory can be accessed via the Duty Finder.
65TEXT_LUCKTA002_03718_SEQ_05Through the metal doors, you find not broken remains scattered across the floor of a darkened cave, but rather rusted metal structures growing out of a verdant valley, reaching skyward and stretching into the distance as far as the eye can see. 2P tells you that this place was used in the manufacture of the so-called machine lifeforms, and indeed, no small number of them remain within. You fight your way past mechanical monsters great and greater until at last you come upon an adversary of an altogether different nature. Though you sense that this 9S and 2P have a complex relationship, you have no opportunity to press for details, as a heated battle ensues almost immediately. Though you are ultimately victorious, there is no telling what might emerge next, and 2P suggests that you withdraw for a time. Reading the exhaustion writ on her face, you agree.
76TEXT_LUCKTA002_03718_SEQ_06Emerging from the factory, you see 2P lying on a nearby bed that has been hastily assembled from crates and sleeping mats. Perhaps the battle took more out of her than you had been led to believe.
87TEXT_LUCKTA002_03718_SEQ_07You speak with Konogg, who tells you that 2P collapsed as they emerged from the ruins, and─sort of─compliments you for not having done the same. Just then, 2P reawakens. She remains conscious long enough to tell you that both she and 9S are mechanical constructs made to resemble men, that more such “androids” may be on their way to attack Komra as you speak, and that a “key” to understanding─and perhaps defeating─them lies somewhere within the factory. She then ceases to function entirely, coming to a stop all of a sudden like a wind-up automaton.
98TEXT_LUCKTA002_03718_SEQ_08Though there was a thoroughly overwhelming amount to consider in what 2P told you, Anogg appears rather fixated on the “powerful item inside the ruins” bit, insisting that you seek it out posthaste. She also provides you with a new tool of her own design─the portable archive─which you may use to record interesting observations in the course of your investigation. With so much of the unfamiliar landscape that has been so well hidden within Kholusia as yet unexplored, it will doubtless see plenty of use. ※The **Portable Archive** is now available under Collection in the Duty section of the main menu. Record data at certain locations within the ruins to fill it with pertinent information.

4948TEXT_LUCKTA002_03718_DWARFMASTER03671_000_001By the by─haven't seen Anogg and Konogg, have you? Usually when they go this long without getting underfoot, it means they're up to something.
5049TEXT_LUCKTA002_03718_DWARFMASTER03671_000_002I'd be grateful if you'd track them down again and send them my way. They're peskier than a pack of pixies, but even so, I'd rather keep them where I can see them.
5150TEXT_LUCKTA002_03718_DWARFMASTER03671_000_005Sooner you can track down the wee scoundrels, the better. It's too quiet...
5251TEXT_LUCKTA002_03718_TUNNELGUARD03671_000_010We've all taken our lesson to heart. No need to worry about us─or to draw your weapon, thank you.
5352TEXT_LUCKTA002_03718_TUNNELGUARD03671_000_011...Also, our convoluted plan turned out to be just as much work as taking the job seriously, in the end, so there's that.
5453TEXT_LUCKTA002_03718_ANOGG_000_050That's the watch taken care of, but we never did get that key...
5554TEXT_LUCKTA002_03718_ANOGG_000_051You mean to say that you picked it up? And no one's even noticed it's missing? Splendid! I shall open the door, and then you may escort us on our foray.
5655TEXT_LUCKTA002_03718_ANOGG_000_052After all, everyone knows that the only thing that brings *you* more joy than being of service to your fellow man is...adventure! Indeed, your adventurous spirit calls you toward ever greater challenges, no matter how staggeringly ill-advised or outright suicidal!
5756TEXT_LUCKTA002_03718_Q1_000_000What will you say?
5857TEXT_LUCKTA002_03718_A1_000_001Rude but fair, I suppose.
5958TEXT_LUCKTA002_03718_A1_000_002But the chief says we're not *allowed*. No, no, I couldn't possibly.
6059TEXT_LUCKTA002_03718_ANOGG_000_054Isn't it just?
6160TEXT_LUCKTA002_03718_ANOGG_000_055And after we've made it sound so very appealing!
6261TEXT_LUCKTA002_03718_KONOGG_000_056How truly, madly, deeply you wound us, madam!
6362TEXT_LUCKTA002_03718_ANOGG_000_057I see that we have no other choice but to drag you on this adventure against your will. Never mind the how─we'll come up with something on the way.
6463TEXT_LUCKTA002_03718_ANOGG_000_058Hurry along, now! There are secrets to be found here, and we'll be the ones to bring them to light─and possibly to market, depending.
6564TEXT_LUCKTA002_03718_ANOGG_100_058Maybe we'll even give you a share of the spoils! A small one, mind.
6665TEXT_LUCKTA002_03718_KONOGG_000_060Nice work in trouncing those brutes earlier. You're so easy to push around, I had almost forgotten your vocation!
6766TEXT_LUCKTA002_03718_ANOGG_000_150Locked. Which bodes well for us finding something worth our time within, assuming we can get it open...
6867TEXT_LUCKTA002_03718_KONOGG_000_151The moment of truth, then.
6968TEXT_LUCKTA002_03718_ANOGG_000_152That was easy.
7069TEXT_LUCKTA002_03718_ROBOT03718_000_153(-Mysterious Machina-)Intruders sighted. Eliminating with extreme prejudice.
7170TEXT_LUCKTA002_03718_DWARFMASTER03671_000_154What have you done!?
7271TEXT_LUCKTA002_03718_ANOGG_000_155Wicked white...
7372TEXT_LUCKTA002_03718_2P_000_156(-Woman in White-)The...the machine lifeforms...
7473TEXT_LUCKTA002_03718_ANOGG_000_157“Machine lifeforms”? What are you talking about? And why didn't you blow up?
7574TEXT_LUCKTA002_03718_2P_000_158I am numbe─ 2P. Call me 2P. The rest can wait.
7675TEXT_LUCKTA002_03718_2P_000_159The machine lifeforms must be stopped. To do that, we must reach the heart of the ruins. Come.
7776TEXT_LUCKTA002_03718_DWARFMASTER03671_000_160Anogg! Konogg! Don't you dare!
7877TEXT_LUCKTA002_03718_DWARFMASTER03671_000_161How bloody stupid are they!? <sigh> Listen, sinner─I know we've put you to plenty of trouble already, but...I need you to stop them before they dig themselves any deeper. At this rate, someone's going to get hurt.
7978TEXT_LUCKTA002_03718_DWARFMASTER03671_000_162Not a thimble's worth of common sense between the two of them, I tell you. And once they get going...<sigh>
8079TEXT_LUCKTA002_03718_ANOGG_000_200Another door! Who needs this many doors?
8180TEXT_LUCKTA002_03718_2P_000_210Sealed per defensive protocols, I believe.
8281TEXT_LUCKTA002_03718_ANOGG_000_211Protocols, shmotocols! We've got something for this immovable object.
8382TEXT_LUCKTA002_03718_KONOGG_000_212Unstoppable force!
8483TEXT_LUCKTA002_03718_ANOGG_000_213Mwahaha! How'd you like that?
8584TEXT_LUCKTA002_03718_ANOGG_000_214I'm sure you were told to keep us from getting into trouble, or some such nonsense, right?
8685TEXT_LUCKTA002_03718_ANOGG_000_215But who took care of those machines? Us! Who got the door open? Us! Who's going to find out what's in there? Us!
8786TEXT_LUCKTA002_03718_2P_000_220If we can't unlock it, we'll need to break it down.
8887TEXT_LUCKTA002_03718_KONOGG_000_225They don't make this easy, do they? These machine-whatsits.
8988TEXT_LUCKTA002_03718_2P_000_230That's the means of ingress secured. Onward.
9089TEXT_LUCKTA002_03718_ANOGG_000_235Aha! Hahaha! Mwahahahahahaha...<cough> <cough> <cough>...<wheeze>... Remind me to save the maniacal laughter for after the dust clears, next time.
9190TEXT_LUCKTA002_03718_KONOGG_000_240Smell that? That gentle scent carried with the draft? That's the smell of secrets!
9291TEXT_LUCKTA002_03718_DWARFMASTER03671_000_250If you won't stop them, at least keep those two from getting themselves killed. I've got enough problems without adding funeral arrangements.
9392TEXT_LUCKTA002_03718_2P_000_300There may be others lying in wait. We should withdraw.
9493TEXT_LUCKTA002_03718_KONOGG_100_350She just collapsed! One minute she was walking ahead of us, the next─well, as you see here.
9594TEXT_LUCKTA002_03718_KONOGG_000_350Though after all of that, perhaps the greater shock is that *you're* still standing. I'm impressed. And a little bit scared.
9695TEXT_LUCKTA002_03718_KONOGG_000_351Truly, you're wasted on the petty errands that everyone else puts you up to.
9796TEXT_LUCKTA002_03718_ANOGG_000_352Oh! Are you feeling better?
9897TEXT_LUCKTA002_03718_ANOGG_000_353More importantly, who was that boy in black? How was he controlling the machines?
9998TEXT_LUCKTA002_03718_2P_000_354Not a boy, an android. An advanced machine designed in imitation of mankind. Same as me.
10099TEXT_LUCKTA002_03718_KONOGG_000_355...You? You're a *machine*?
101100TEXT_LUCKTA002_03718_ANOGG_000_356But that's impossible! It's hard enough to make a fully functioning ironbeard, or a wind-up automaton that bears a passing resemblance to a real person. To create machines that look and act and fight like you two... Who could possibly have done such a thing? And how?
102101TEXT_LUCKTA002_03718_ANOGG_000_357But─fine. Let's say, for the moment, that I believe you. Why would one of these androids want to attack us?
103102TEXT_LUCKTA002_03718_2P_000_358I don't know. But he's not the only one out there.
104103TEXT_LUCKTA002_03718_2P_000_359And if the other androids come looking for these ruins, I can't promise they won't be just as...aggressive.
105104TEXT_LUCKTA002_03718_2P_000_360Anyone who gets in their way could be in terrible danger. This whole place could be in danger...
106105TEXT_LUCKTA002_03718_KONOGG_000_361If they're anything like what we just saw, I don't like our chances...
107106TEXT_LUCKTA002_03718_ANOGG_000_362Don't be silly. We have our clever minds! We have loads of explosives! We have an exceptionally violent assistant, and we even have an android of our own!
108107TEXT_LUCKTA002_03718_2P_000_363I'm sorry...
109108TEXT_LUCKTA002_03718_2P_000_364My systems took too much damage in that battle. I don't...think I'll be functional for much longer.
110109TEXT_LUCKTA002_03718_2P_000_365I can only tell you what you need to do.
111110TEXT_LUCKTA002_03718_2P_000_366Deep within the ruins lies the key. Find it.
112111TEXT_LUCKTA002_03718_2P_000_367With it, we can stop them. The machines, the androids...
113112TEXT_LUCKTA002_03718_2P_000_368With it, you can restore...
114113TEXT_LUCKTA002_03718_KONOGG_000_369Restore... Restore her to functionality, maybe?
115114TEXT_LUCKTA002_03718_DWARFMASTER03671_000_370What in the hells was that about?
116115TEXT_LUCKTA002_03718_ANOGG_000_371Ohoho...
117116TEXT_LUCKTA002_03718_ANOGG_000_372A very promising discovery, is what!
118117TEXT_LUCKTA002_03718_ANOGG_000_373So we must persevere! Onward! Inward! Awaaay!
119118TEXT_LUCKTA002_03718_KONOGG_000_374Hmm...
120119TEXT_LUCKTA002_03718_DWARFMASTER03671_000_375They're both all right, by the looks of it. Didn't expect that. Well done.
121120TEXT_LUCKTA002_03718_2P_000_380...
122121TEXT_LUCKTA002_03718_ANOGG_000_385Ah, danger upon danger! Mystery within mystery! How invigorating, this...invigoration!
123122TEXT_LUCKTA002_03718_ANOGG_000_400I knew that there was something of value in there! Mwahaha...
124123TEXT_LUCKTA002_03718_ANOGG_000_401And once we get our hands on it, they'll see. They'll all see!
125124TEXT_LUCKTA002_03718_ANOGG_000_402Oh! Nothing! What? Did you hear something?
126125TEXT_LUCKTA002_03718_ANOGG_000_403
127126TEXT_LUCKTA002_03718_ANOGG_000_404Ahem. The real question is, do we pack more explosives this time? Maybe we can fit some in your pack, as well...
128127TEXT_LUCKTA002_03718_ANOGG_100_404You *are* coming along, right? Oh, who am I kidding─I know you wouldn't miss it!
129128TEXT_LUCKTA002_03718_Q2_000_000What will you say?
130129TEXT_LUCKTA002_03718_A2_000_001Oh, I'm sure I won't be given the choice to miss it.
131130TEXT_LUCKTA002_03718_A2_000_002How charming that you continue to pretend to care about my opinion.
132131TEXT_LUCKTA002_03718_ANOGG_200_404Yes, yes, we both know that you're loving this.
133132TEXT_LUCKTA002_03718_ANOGG_600_404*And* I have a present for you! Feast your eyes on this!
134133TEXT_LUCKTA002_03718_ANOGG_300_404It's a one-of-a-kind recording device─the portable archive! If you spot anything odd, aaanything at all, march right up to it and let this collect its data. Then we'll have a nice little set of records to review.
135134TEXT_LUCKTA002_03718_ANOGG_400_404I know, I know, we're brilliant. Anyway, find a place for that in your pack, and do take care of what other preparations need doing. We'll be ready to go when you are.
136135TEXT_LUCKTA002_03718_SYSTEM_500_404The **Portable Archive** is now available under Collection in the Duty section of the main menu.
137136TEXT_LUCKTA002_03718_SYSTEM_500_405Fill your archive by using it to record data at promising spots within the ruins!
138137TEXT_LUCKTA002_03718_DWARFMASTER03671_000_405So there're androids, which are machines, but also other machines, and also...
139138TEXT_LUCKTA002_03718_DWARFMASTER03671_000_410Look, all I know is that I'm not keen on anything that gets Anogg this excited. Not bloody keen at all.
140139TEXT_LUCKTA002_03718_KONOGG_000_415Having seen all of that from 2P...what else sleeps within those ruins, I wonder?
141140TEXT_LUCKTA002_03718_SYSTEM_000_420Try as you might, you cannot detect the sound of breath or whirring cogs, nor any visual indications of life of any sort.
