40TEXT_CHRHDB911_05192_SEQ_00Looking rather lost herself, Nashu Mhakaracca has come west in search of the missing inspector.
51TEXT_CHRHDB911_05192_SEQ_01Following a lead from the pages of <Emphasis>The Thavnairian Truth</Emphasis>, Nashu Mhakaracca has come west in search of the once more involuntarily displaced inspector. Her tentative plan is to interrogate local residents for sightings of the errant starship in an attempt to divine the missing Manderville man's current location. To that end, she has handed you a visual aid─an illustration of said starship─and enlisted you to expand the range of the investigation. The Landsguard stationed at Brightploom Post may be best equipped to handle any questions regarding unusual airborne vessels.
62TEXT_CHRHDB911_05192_SEQ_02You have gathered some reliable starship sightings from the Landsguard. Nashu will wish to hear of your findings back at the markets.
73TEXT_CHRHDB911_05192_SEQ_03Although Nashu herself discovered little amongst the stalls of Bayside Bevy (aside from a taste for several local delicacies), she is impressed by your successful investigative efforts. Based on the information provided by the city guard, you move your search northwards to the dome-enclosed Heritage Found.
84TEXT_CHRHDB911_05192_SEQ_04Having arrived in the location where the starship supposedly went down, Nashu suggests shifting the focus to tracking down the inspector himself. Surely one of the residents has sighted your gentlemanly quarry?
95TEXT_CHRHDB911_05192_SEQ_05One resident of the outskirts insists that no man of Hildibrand's description would have escaped his notice in such a tight-knit community. Enamored by the suggestion to seek the inspector in “Solution” Nine, Nashu immediately makes her way over to the mechanical sentry at the tower's entrance.
106TEXT_CHRHDB911_05192_SEQ_06The sentry verifies your unlimited access to Everkeep, but sounds the alarm upon detecting materials of an explosive nature upon Nashu's person. Her subsequent nonsensical explanation appears to overload the logic circuits of every nearby unit, allowing you to enter Solution Nine without further challenge.
117TEXT_CHRHDB911_05192_SEQ_07Nashu reasons that the best way to find the inspector is to locate an ongoing case, for that is where a gentlemanly agent of enquiry is most likely to be. You head off to True Vue, the liveliest part of town, to ask after any potential incidents or mysteries.
128TEXT_CHRHDB911_05192_SEQ_08Your inquiries are met with the news of a recent theft which, conveniently for you, occurred not far from where you now stand. This sounds like just the kind of case Nashu was hoping for.
139TEXT_CHRHDB911_05192_SEQ_09Nashu, too, has heard the details of the robbery, and you both head off to the scene of the crime. There you witness the detective work of a man who very much resembles Inspector Hildibrand, though his garb and speech seem that of an entirely different person. Nashu is nevertheless confident that he is the missing inspector, theorizing that the man's ungentlemanly manner is the result of shock from the crash. Although adamant that a healthy dose of her “medicine” will put him to rights, she heeds your call for restraint and settles for following the man in the overcoat from a distance...for now.
1410TEXT_CHRHDB911_05192_SEQ_10After foiling Nashu's first attempt to “treat” him, the man in the overcoat denies being any sort of gentleman inspector, instead introducing himself as Detective Hardiboiled. While a second round of treatment (this time disguised as a hard-boiled egg) confirms the characteristic uncanny Manderville indestructibility, his pulpy demeanor nevertheless remains unchanged. This fact, along with the physical resemblance, leads you to suspect he shares a soul with the Hildibrand of the Source. Though confused and a little disappointed, Nashu concedes that you likely have the wrong man. The detective, for his part, is intrigued by your talk of a missing person, and Nashu eagerly accepts his offer to work on the case.
1511TEXT_CHRHDB911_05192_SEQ_11Nashu opts to curtail her own investigations for a time, still feeling overwhelmed by the futuristic city of Solution Nine. It seems you are free to return to your usual activities until Detective Hardiboiled makes a break in the case.

5248TEXT_CHRHDB911_05192_NASHUMHAKARACCA_000_000Why, hello there, <Split(<Highlight>ObjectParameter(1)</Highlight>, ,1)/>! Cor, how serendipitous that we should cross paths in this far-flung nation!
5349TEXT_CHRHDB911_05192_NASHUMHAKARACCA_000_001Have you come all this way to lend me a hand, because let me tell you─I could use the help!
5450TEXT_CHRHDB911_05192_NASHUMHAKARACCA_000_002You see, I've been doing my absolute darnedest to track down the inspector ever since Mister PuPu's starship whisked him off to gods only know where.
5551TEXT_CHRHDB911_05192_NASHUMHAKARACCA_000_003My best lead turned out to be <Emphasis>The Thavnairian Truth.</Emphasis> Eyewitness accounts in the latest issue described a shiny craft headed west across the ocean, so I packed a few things and headed as far west as I was able...
5652TEXT_CHRHDB911_05192_NASHUMHAKARACCA_000_004This is where I ended up. I've made a few inquiries since my arrival, but I've mostly been acclimatizing myself to the native cuisine. Very important step, that.
5753TEXT_CHRHDB911_05192_NASHUMHAKARACCA_100_004Anyway, seeing as fate has sent you to assist me, I suppose it's time I continued questioning the locals on the matter of unidentified flying gentlemen.
5854TEXT_CHRHDB911_05192_NASHUMHAKARACCA_000_005Here, this should help aid in our investigations.
5955TEXT_CHRHDB911_05192_NASHUMHAKARACCA_100_005It's an illustration of the starship, clipped from Dorian's publication. Having this on hand should make it much easier to explain what we're looking for.
6056TEXT_CHRHDB911_05192_NASHUMHAKARACCA_000_006I'll ask around the markets hereabouts. As for you... Well, I've yet to venture beyond the food stalls, so practically anywhere else but here!
6157TEXT_CHRHDB911_05192_NASHUMHAKARACCA_000_007If you learn any useful information, come and find me around this spot. I'll be stuffing my...uh...ears with delicious...uh...intelligence.
6258TEXT_CHRHDB911_05192_SYSTEM_100_007It is the Landsguard's duty to remain vigilant for threats and unusual developments that may warrant their intervention. It may be prudent to visit Brightploom Post and question the soldiers.
6359TEXT_CHRHDB911_05192_NASHUMHAKARACCA_000_010You should show that picture to the city guards and ask if they've sighted anything similar. I'll concentrate my efforts on the stallkeepers and their delicious offerings...of information!
6460TEXT_CHRHDB911_05192_SYSTEM_100_015An illustration of a starship, clipped from <Emphasis>The Thavnairian Truth.</Emphasis> The addition of a magnified inset in this hand-drawn picture hints at the illustrator's level of fixation upon the subject matter.
6561TEXT_CHRHDB911_05192_MOBEELJA_000_020Yes? Is there something I can help you with?
6662TEXT_CHRHDB911_05192_MOBEELJA_000_021Actually, I <Emphasis>have</Emphasis> seen a vessel like that. It was some time before Zoraal Ja's flying ships appeared...
6763TEXT_CHRHDB911_05192_MOBEELJA_000_022I watched it limp northwards through the skies above Tuliyollal, wobbling about like it might crash to the ground at any moment.
6864TEXT_CHRHDB911_05192_SHCOAHE_000_023Searching for a strange ship, you say?
6965TEXT_CHRHDB911_05192_SHCOAHE_000_024Yes, I saw a flying disk just like that during a patrol in Shaaloani!
7066TEXT_CHRHDB911_05192_SHCOAHE_000_025It was slowly drifting towards the ground and seemed to come down somewhere in Yyasulani.
7167TEXT_CHRHDB911_05192_SHCOAHE_000_026If you're determined to find it, then that's where you should try next. ...What were they calling the place that's covered by the dome now? Heritage Found?
7268TEXT_CHRHDB911_05192_MOBEELJA_000_030As I said, the vessel was flying north, but the way it was reeling about like a sailor drunk on mezcal, I don't imagine it stayed aloft much longer.
7369TEXT_CHRHDB911_05192_SHCOAHE_000_031From what I could see, this ship of yours went down over in Yyasulani. I suggest you take a look around Heritage Found.
7470TEXT_CHRHDB911_05192_NASHUMHAKARACCA_000_040My forays into the stalls bore no fruit at all! None starship-shaped, anyway. How was your harvest, then?
7571TEXT_CHRHDB911_05192_NASHUMHAKARACCA_000_041Those are some solid leads. Nice work, <Split(<Highlight>ObjectParameter(1)</Highlight>, ,1)/>.
7672TEXT_CHRHDB911_05192_NASHUMHAKARACCA_000_042So by the sounds of things, the ship was malfunctioning and eventually came down somewhere to the north of here.
7773TEXT_CHRHDB911_05192_NASHUMHAKARACCA_000_043With any luck, this “Hostage Found” you mentioned will be the place we find the inspector!
7874TEXT_CHRHDB911_05192_Q1_000_000What will you say?
7975TEXT_CHRHDB911_05192_A1_000_001I think you mean “Heritage Found”...
8076TEXT_CHRHDB911_05192_A1_000_002I doubt it will be so simple. And certainly not without incident, knowing how matters involving the inspector tend to go.
8177TEXT_CHRHDB911_05192_NASHUMHAKARACCA_000_044Well, with you as my escort, I'm sure we'll arrive at the right spot eventually, and none the worse for wear! Shall we head off?
8278TEXT_CHRHDB911_05192_NASHUMHAKARACCA_000_050The air is all crackly and zappy!
8379TEXT_CHRHDB911_05192_NASHUMHAKARACCA_000_051This is where the starship supposedly came down, so let's start our search for the inspector.
8480TEXT_CHRHDB911_05192_NASHUMHAKARACCA_000_052Standard investigative procedure dictates that we question the residents for possible gentleman sightings. Off we go!
8581TEXT_CHRHDB911_05192_NASHUMHAKARACCA_000_060Aha! This man could be a potential witness!
8682TEXT_CHRHDB911_05192_CITIZENA05192_000_070This is a small settlement and all its inhabitants are known to me. If a man of such distinctive appearance and demeanor were among us, I'm sure I would have noticed.
8783TEXT_CHRHDB911_05192_CITIZENA05192_000_071Perhaps he's wandering around somewhere inside Solution Nine? They have so many more people, he could easily go unnoticed in the crowds.
8884TEXT_CHRHDB911_05192_CITIZENA05192_000_072You were here as Queen Sphene's guest, as I recall. If your companion wishes to enter the city as well, then I suggest you make arrangements with the sentry at the tower entrance.
8985TEXT_CHRHDB911_05192_NASHUMHAKARACCA_000_073Ooh, <Emphasis>Solution</Emphasis> Nine! That sounds promising! Thank you for the tip!
9086TEXT_CHRHDB911_05192_CITIZEN05192_000_080I'm afraid your friend won't be entering Solution Nine unless you can convince the sentry to let her in.

9793TEXT_CHRHDB911_05192_NASHUMHAKARACCA_000_096It's really quite simple. Inspector Hildibrand was sucked up by Mister PuPu's malfunctioning starship, after which it proceeded to drag him thousands of malms away and deposit him here. Ergo, you need to let me pass so I can blow away his brain cobwebs!
9894TEXT_CHRHDB911_05192_ROBOTSENTRY04933_000_097Error... Logic circuits overloading... Emergency shutdown initiated.
9995TEXT_CHRHDB911_05192_NASHUMHAKARACCA_000_098Huh, it must be nap time. I guess we can just go in!
10096TEXT_CHRHDB911_05192_NASHUMHAKARACCA_000_100Cor, that's a good-sized city!
10197TEXT_CHRHDB911_05192_NASHUMHAKARACCA_000_101Well, there's one sure way of locating the inspector in a place like this: if there's an ongoing case, then that's where he'll be!
10298TEXT_CHRHDB911_05192_NASHUMHAKARACCA_000_102Let's head to the lively part of town and look into any nefarious incidents, shall we? Uh...do you know which is the lively part?

104100TEXT_CHRHDB911_05192_NASHUMHAKARACCA_000_110Oooh, you don't say? And then what happened...?
105101TEXT_CHRHDB911_05192_CITIZENB05192_000_120...What, like a crime? Hmm. Now that you mention it, I did hear about a theft recently.
106102TEXT_CHRHDB911_05192_CITIZENB05192_000_121Our city is peaceful, by and large, but anywhere you have a lot of people, incidents like these are bound to occur.
107103TEXT_CHRHDB911_05192_PHILOMON_000_122A case, huh? I've heard talk of an odd, squealing creature of some sort, but I don't know if that's the kind of thing you're looking for.
108104TEXT_CHRHDB911_05192_CITIZENC05192_000_123Recent troubles? I saw a pair of soldiers mobilizing not moments earlier. Responding to a disturbance, it seems.
109105TEXT_CHRHDB911_05192_CITIZENC05192_000_124I don't think it was far from here, but I'm a bit hazy on the details...
110106TEXT_CHRHDB911_05192_CITIZENB05192_000_130Despite this recent robbery, the residents of Solution Nine are a law-abiding folk...or so I'd like to think.
111107TEXT_CHRHDB911_05192_PHILOMON_000_131“Odd creature” leaves rather a lot to the imagination, doesn't it? I wonder what they meant by “squealing”...?
112108TEXT_CHRHDB911_05192_CITIZENC05192_000_132Sorry I can't give you more specific directions...
113109TEXT_CHRHDB911_05192_NASHUMHAKARACCA_000_140Oh, I also heard about that theft! Something was stolen from a nearby tavern, apparently.
114110TEXT_CHRHDB911_05192_NASHUMHAKARACCA_000_141I got directions to the scene of the crime, so let's head over together!

120116TEXT_CHRHDB911_05192_HARDIBOILED_000_147(-Man in Overcoat-)A top-shelf bottle of juice would make for a fine trade, I'd say.

151147TEXT_CHRHDB911_05192_NASHUMHAKARACCA_000_810Very impressive! But even with that name and those odd clothes, you might as well be the inspector's older, more wrinkled twin!
152148TEXT_CHRHDB911_05192_HARDIBOILED_000_811Hate to break it to you, but you're barking up the wrong tree.

154150TEXT_CHRHDB911_05192_NASHUMHAKARACCA_000_813You seem awfully fond of those hard-boiled eggs. Here, this one's on me!
155151TEXT_CHRHDB911_05192_HARDIBOILED_000_814Thanks, dollface. You're a peach.
156152TEXT_CHRHDB911_05192_HARDIBOILED_000_815Whew, that's one way to cure a hangover. You got me good.
157153TEXT_CHRHDB911_05192_NASHUMHAKARACCA_000_816Hrm, maybe we really <Emphasis>do</Emphasis> have the wrong person. That indestructibility is awfully Manderville-like, though.
158154TEXT_CHRHDB911_05192_Q4_000_000What will you say?
159155TEXT_CHRHDB911_05192_A4_000_001I've seen a few cases of this “twin person” phenomenon in the dome.
160156TEXT_CHRHDB911_05192_A4_000_002It might be someone who shares the same soul as Hildibrand.
161157TEXT_CHRHDB911_05192_NASHUMHAKARACCA_000_817I'm not sure what's going on here, but I can see that you're not who I thought you were...and that we need to keep searching.
162158TEXT_CHRHDB911_05192_HARDIBOILED_000_818A missing person, is it? If that's the rub, you can leave the sleuthing to me.
163159TEXT_CHRHDB911_05192_NASHUMHAKARACCA_000_819Oh, we could really use your help!
164160TEXT_CHRHDB911_05192_HARDIBOILED_000_820By the sounds of things, this fella looks a lot like me. What did you say his name was? Phildigrand?
165161TEXT_CHRHDB911_05192_HARDIBOILED_000_821I'll find him, don't you worry. I can feel a hunch coming on already...
166162TEXT_CHRHDB911_05192_NASHUMHAKARACCA_000_822Are we <Emphasis>sure</Emphasis> that isn't the inspector?
167163TEXT_CHRHDB911_05192_NASHUMHAKARACCA_000_830I'd like to rush off and do some investigative work of my own, but this city still has my head spinning. I think I'll wait and see if this Detective Hardiboiled is as good as he seems.
168164TEXT_CHRHDB911_05192_NASHUMHAKARACCA_000_831Meanwhile, you should get back to whatever it is that famous adventurers do when they're not embroiled in one of our fantastical cases!
169165TEXT_CHRHDB911_05192_HARDIBOILED_000_900The dame had me looking for a needle in a neon-lit haystack. A city with an allergy to sleep.
170166TEXT_CHRHDB911_05192_HARDIBOILED_000_901This twin of mine had well and truly lost himself. The trail was colder than the ice at the bottom of my glass.
171167TEXT_CHRHDB911_05192_HARDIBOILED_000_902But I could smell it in the air, like the cloying stench of cheap perfume. A conspiracy...
172168TEXT_CHRHDB911_05192_HARDIBOILED_000_903Stay tuned for further episodes of Detective Hardiboiled.
173169TEXT_CHRHDB911_05192_NASHUMHAKARACCA_000_904The inspector has finally set foot upon the Dawntrail! Get ready for Inconceivably Further Hildibrand Adventures!
174170TEXT_CHRHDB911_05192_NASHUMHAKARACCA_000_905Who knows what his case will be this time!? When it happens─whatever happens─you'll be there on the scene!
