40TEXT_CHRHDB921_05295_SEQ_00Nashu Mhakaracca's expression is equal parts consternation and anticipation.
51TEXT_CHRHDB921_05295_SEQ_01As if awaiting his cue, Hardiboiled appears just as you approach the anxiously awaiting Nashu. The detective's search for the missing Hildibrand has proven unsuccessful, but after encouraging you to retell the tale of your journey thus far, he pounces on the idea of tracking down the starship instead. To that end, you make your way over to the residential sector, hoping to interview older natives of your world who may have witnessed the original crash landing.
62TEXT_CHRHDB921_05295_SEQ_02Nashu produces a copy of the starship illustration─complete with her own hand-drawn portrait of Inspector Hildibrand─to aid in your investigation. As she only has one other copy for herself, she insists that you share yours with Detective Hardiboiled.
73TEXT_CHRHDB921_05295_SEQ_03The detective is eager to begin questioning the park-goers. He suggests showing Nashu's picture to older Hyune and Hhetsarro that might have originally hailed from outside the dome. ※You must be accompanied by Hardiboiled to complete this task. Speak with him again should you become separated.
84TEXT_CHRHDB921_05295_SEQ_04Despite your best efforts to jog their memories, the elder residents are unable to help you in your search. Hardiboiled is unwilling to give up, however, and directs you towards a Shetona man he spotted heading towards the 9-14 radius.
95TEXT_CHRHDB921_05295_SEQ_05As fortune might have it, the Shetona gentleman recalls the exact moment he saw the flying disc crashing down somewhere in Yuweyawata, to the north. Armed with this new information, you and the detective set off to find Nashu.
106TEXT_CHRHDB921_05295_SEQ_06You realize some method of transportation is required in order to cross the lake and reach Yuweyawata on the other side. Hardiboiled soon solves this problem by contacting a reforger acquaintance at the driftdowns who is willing to lend you the use of her hover cargo.
117TEXT_CHRHDB921_05295_SEQ_07You board the hover cargo and venture across the lake to Yuweyawata. Hardiboiled stands in the entrance to the research facility, taking in the gloomy interior. ※In the event that you leave the area, you may return by speaking with the accommodating reforger at the driftdowns.
128TEXT_CHRHDB921_05295_SEQ_08Satisfied that the place is relatively free of roaming threats, Hardiboiled urges you to take a look around. Somewhere in the mess and debris of the facility may be found a clue as to what became of the starship.
139TEXT_CHRHDB921_05295_SEQ_09A series of confidential records helps you piece together the story of the starship's discovery and the subsequent experiments performed upon its comatose─yet miraculously unharmed─occupant. Believing you have found Inspector Hildibrand's last known location, you set out to find Detective Hardiboiled and share your promising lead.
1410TEXT_CHRHDB921_05295_SEQ_10Verification key in hand, Hardiboiled leads you to the room where the researchers have been preserving Hildibrand in a specimen capsule. Rather than fuss with finding a manual to open this advanced containment unit, however, an explosive egg proffered by Nashu suffices to at last reunite you with the indomitable inspector. Hildibrand seems none the worse for wear after three decades of hibernation. Hardiboiled marvels at the inspector's still youthful appearance, not to mention his taming of the zombie horde drawn by the commotion, but there appears to be no love lost between the hard-bitten detective and the gentlemanly agent of enquiry. Differences (and similarities) aside, Hardiboiled is nonetheless willing to share the details of the new case he stumbled across within the ominous facility.

5349TEXT_CHRHDB921_05295_NASHUMHAKARACCA_000_000<Split(<Highlight>ObjectParameter(1)</Highlight>, ,1)/>! Here to help again, are you? As things stand, I'm still waiting on word from─
5450TEXT_CHRHDB921_05295_HARDIBOILED_000_001(-Hardiboiled-)Yours truly, I assume.
5551TEXT_CHRHDB921_05295_HARDIBOILED_000_002Since parting ways, I've searched every alley and dive bar in Everkeep for signs of this Phildigrand character.
5652TEXT_CHRHDB921_05295_NASHUMHAKARACCA_000_003It's pronounced “Hildibrand.”
5753TEXT_CHRHDB921_05295_HARDIBOILED_000_004Well, however you say it, he was nowhere to be found.
5854TEXT_CHRHDB921_05295_NASHUMHAKARACCA_000_005Oh, where could the inspector be...?
5955TEXT_CHRHDB921_05295_HARDIBOILED_000_006Chin up, dollface─the case ain't over yet, and I always get my man.
6056TEXT_CHRHDB921_05295_HARDIBOILED_000_007When the trail goes cold, the trick is to go back to the beginning. I want you to tell me the whole story again─and leave nothing out. No matter how unimportant it might seem.
6157TEXT_CHRHDB921_05295_HARDIBOILED_000_008So, you followed rumors of the flying disc which nabbed your friend, and that led you to the place where it most likely crashed down. Here.
6258TEXT_CHRHDB921_05295_HARDIBOILED_000_009You also think he was caught inside the dome when it appeared, and─from your perspective─went through thirty years in the blink of an eye? Sounds like crazy talk.
6359TEXT_CHRHDB921_05295_HARDIBOILED_000_010But I've seen enough strangeness in my line of work that I've learned to give clients the benefit of the doubt. And since we've got no leads on the man himself, I say we try jogging memories about the shiny starship instead.
6460TEXT_CHRHDB921_05295_HARDIBOILED_000_011We'll want to question older people native to your world who might have witnessed the original crash landing thirty years ago. Folks that age seem to enjoy parks...like the one outside the residential radii. Let's go.
6561TEXT_CHRHDB921_05295_NASHUMHAKARACCA_000_015What a lovely place to interrogate our elders!
6662TEXT_CHRHDB921_05295_HARDIBOILED_000_020Old-timers aplenty, as promised. Pick a prune and get to it.
6763TEXT_CHRHDB921_05295_NASHUMHAKARACCA_000_021Oh, I still have that illustration I lent to you last time. Showing it around should help nudge some ancient noggins.
6864TEXT_CHRHDB921_05295_NASHUMHAKARACCA_000_022I added a sketch of the inspector's face to make things even easier!
6965TEXT_CHRHDB921_05295_NASHUMHAKARACCA_000_023I have another copy for myself, but that only makes two. <Split(<Highlight>ObjectParameter(1)</Highlight>, ,1)/>, you and Detective Hardiboiled will have to share.
7066TEXT_CHRHDB921_05295_HARDIBOILED_000_024We <Emphasis>are</Emphasis> talking three decades ago here, so having a picture should come in handy...even if the dame's work is on the same level as a finger-painting toddler's magnum opus.
7167TEXT_CHRHDB921_05295_HARDIBOILED_000_025<Split(<Highlight>ObjectParameter(1)</Highlight>, ,1)/>, was it? Well, you let me know when you're ready to bother some park-goers.
7268TEXT_CHRHDB921_05295_SYSTEM_000_026An illustration of a starship, clipped from <Emphasis>The Thavnairian Truth.</Emphasis> Includes a portrait of Inspector Hildibrand drawn by Nashu's well-meaning hand.
7369TEXT_CHRHDB921_05295_HARDIBOILED_000_027So that's meant to be Hildibrand, is it? I don't think he looks anything like me, but based on Nashu's drawing alone it's...hard to tell.
7470TEXT_CHRHDB921_05295_NASHUMHAKARACCA_000_030This would have been thirty years ago, but did you happen to see a flying craft like the one in this picture...?
7571TEXT_CHRHDB921_05295_HHETSARROMIDDLE05295_000_031Oh, did you hear the news...?
7672TEXT_CHRHDB921_05295_HYUNEELDERA05295_000_032Nice weather we're having. Not that it ever changes.
7773TEXT_CHRHDB921_05295_HYUNEELDERB05295_000_033Young people these days...
7874TEXT_CHRHDB921_05295_HARDIBOILED_000_040Right, let's start showing that picture around then. Keep an eye out for older Hyune and Hhetsarro that might have hailed from outside the dome. Oh, and don't forget the Shetona.
7975TEXT_CHRHDB921_05295_SYSTEM_000_041Hardiboiled is now accompanying you. Keep him at your side in order to proceed with quest objectives.
8076TEXT_CHRHDB921_05295_SYSTEM_000_042You can leave Hardiboiled behind by entering a different area, or by speaking with him and selecting the option to part ways.
8177TEXT_CHRHDB921_05295_SYSTEM_000_043If you wish to have Hardiboiled join you again, return and speak with him at the original location.
8278TEXT_CHRHDB921_05295_Q2_000_000What will you do?
8379TEXT_CHRHDB921_05295_A2_000_001Talk.

8682TEXT_CHRHDB921_05295_HARDIBOILED_000_044If this Hildibrand really does look like me... I look forward to meeting him in the flesh, if only to see if the resemblance is more than skin deep.

8985TEXT_CHRHDB921_05295_HARDIBOILED_000_047When I'm alone, walking through the darkest, dingiest parts of the city, I need something as weathered and weary as I am. I'll stick to my eggs, thanks.
9086TEXT_CHRHDB921_05295_SYSTEM_000_048Are you sure you wish to part ways with Hardiboiled?
9187TEXT_CHRHDB921_05295_HARDIBOILED_000_049Eh? Hell of a time to run personal errands, but I guess I can cool my heels in this disgustingly well-manicured grass until you get back.
9288TEXT_CHRHDB921_05295_HARDIBOILED_000_050Still got that picture handy, I hope? Remember: we're looking for old-timers of the Hyune, Hhetsarro, and Shetona persuasion.
9389TEXT_CHRHDB921_05295_HARDIBOILED_100_050Right, let's get after that Shetona fella and see what he thinks of your picture. He was headed towards the 9-14 radius...
9490TEXT_CHRHDB921_05295_HARDIBOILED_200_050Come on, then. Your pal, Nashu, will want to hear this.
9591TEXT_CHRHDB921_05295_SYSTEM_000_051You must be accompanied by Hardiboiled and have him at your side in order to proceed with quest objectives.
9692TEXT_CHRHDB921_05295_SYSTEM_000_052Hardiboiled has yet to arrive. Be sure he is at your side before attempting to continue.
9793TEXT_CHRHDB921_05295_HHETSARROMIDDLE05295_000_060May I help you...?
9894TEXT_CHRHDB921_05295_HHETSARROMIDDLE05295_000_061I'm sorry, but thirty years ago I was practically an infant. Far too young to remember much of anything.
9995TEXT_CHRHDB921_05295_HHETSARROMIDDLE05295_100_061That picture is very cute, though. Did your child draw it for you?
10096TEXT_CHRHDB921_05295_HYUNEELDERA05295_000_062Hm? What can this old lady do for you?
10197TEXT_CHRHDB921_05295_HYUNEELDERA05295_000_063Thirty years ago...? I honestly don't recall. My memories of that time are faded at best, my dears.
10298TEXT_CHRHDB921_05295_HYUNEELDERA05295_100_063That is a lovely drawing of you, though, sir. Really captures your essence.

104100TEXT_CHRHDB921_05295_HYUNEELDERB05295_000_064What would you be wantin' with me, then?
105101TEXT_CHRHDB921_05295_HYUNEELDERB05295_000_065Can't say as I'm familiar with it. Ah, but I do remember three decades ago, when I was still in the bloom o' youth... Well, middle-age.
106102TEXT_CHRHDB921_05295_HYUNEELDERB05295_000_066Say, I remember you. The clever git who took back me phurble tonic from that thievin' whoreson! That was a good bit o' sleuthin', it was!
107103TEXT_CHRHDB921_05295_HARDIBOILED_000_067No need for all that, was just doing my job. Sorry to see that the tonic didn't do its job though...
108104TEXT_CHRHDB921_05295_HYUNEELDERB05295_000_068It's not about growin' me hair back. It's about the routine─about forty years of massagin' me scalp and baskin' in the same fragrant aromas every morning. Doesn't feel right to start the day without it.
109105TEXT_CHRHDB921_05295_HARDIBOILED_000_069Forty years of using an Everkeep-made product...? Ah, that's right. You're Alexandrian, born and bred, same as me. There's no way you could've seen the starship we're after. Sorry to bother you, sir.
110106TEXT_CHRHDB921_05295_HARDIBOILED_000_070Well, no one said it would be easy dredging up eyewitness accounts from so long ago. This is where grit and persistence comes into it.
111107TEXT_CHRHDB921_05295_HARDIBOILED_000_071I spied a Shetona fella heading towards the 9-14 radius. Hard to guess his age with how long they live, but who knows? Maybe we'll get lucky this time.
112108TEXT_CHRHDB921_05295_HHETSARROMIDDLE05295_000_075No, nothing comes to mind, I'm afraid. Perhaps try asking someone who was a little older at the time...?

119115TEXT_CHRHDB921_05295_SHETONA05295_000_082It was during a hunt that I spotted it. Flying machines were a rare sight back then, so I remember it well, even now.

121117TEXT_CHRHDB921_05295_SHETONA05295_000_084It appeared to crash somewhere in Yuweyawata, to the north. I was of a mind to seek out the wreckage, but then the dome suddenly appeared, and I had far, far stranger things to worry about.
122118TEXT_CHRHDB921_05295_HARDIBOILED_000_085There, what'd I tell you? Let's find your pal, Nashu, and share the good news.
123119TEXT_CHRHDB921_05295_SHETONA05295_000_087As I said, I believe your flying disc crashed down somewhere in the vicinity of Yuweyawata. If I hadn't been distracted by the dome, I wonder if I would have found it...
124120TEXT_CHRHDB921_05295_NASHUMHAKARACCA_000_090No one seems to know anything about the starship. Did you fare any better?
125121TEXT_CHRHDB921_05295_NASHUMHAKARACCA_000_091So it came down somewhere near this You-wear-a-yukata place. I don't suppose either of you have been there before?

183179TEXT_CHRHDB921_05295_HILDIBRAND_000_708Attention, everyone! Follow my lead, if you please!
184180TEXT_CHRHDB921_05295_HILDIBRAND_000_709Splendid, most splendid! Let us remember to always comport ourselves in a gentlemanly manner!
185181TEXT_CHRHDB921_05295_HILDIBRAND_000_710I fear I may have overslept a trifle...
186182TEXT_CHRHDB921_05295_HILDIBRAND_100_710But I, Hildibrand, well-rested agent of enquiry, now stand before you bright-eyed and bushy-tailed!
187183TEXT_CHRHDB921_05295_HILDIBRAND_000_711By the by, who is this austere-looking fellow? A new admirer of mine, mayhap?
188184TEXT_CHRHDB921_05295_NASHUMHAKARACCA_712This is Detective Hardiboiled, your soul-twin from another world!
189185TEXT_CHRHDB921_05295_HILDIBRAND_000_713Why, my dear Nashu, this man possesses nary a speck of my singular aplomb. He does not resemble me in the slightest.
190186TEXT_CHRHDB921_05295_HARDIBOILED_000_714I couldn't agree more. My sweet old grandmother has more grit in her pinky finger.
191187TEXT_CHRHDB921_05295_NASHUMHAKARACCA_715That's odd. Maybe I need new glasses, but the two of you seem practically identical...
192188TEXT_CHRHDB921_05295_HARDIBOILED_000_716The odd thing here is how you look too damn young for a fella who's been sleeping for thirty years...and don't get me started on how you charmed those shambling corpses. What kinda crime against nature are you?

197193TEXT_CHRHDB921_05295_HILDIBRAND_000_721A case, you say? Then allow me to offer the services of Hildibrand, inspector extraordinaire!
198194TEXT_CHRHDB921_05295_HARDIBOILED_000_722“Undead overlord” seems more plausible to me at this juncture, but I'll bite. What does a fella like you even inspect?
