Conduct of the mission[]
Mint will talk to you as soon as you leave your house:
That means... |
| After some consideration, I think we should try wind-power. The strong winds coming in from the sea should be able to sustain several generators in the Eufaula Heights area. |
---|
| I know they use lots of these in Highwind, but it's not like we have the budget to import any. Do you think you can build a few for us? |
---|
- I can give it a try.
- I'm a little too busy at the moment.
→ I can give it a try. | ||
| Alright, that's all I'm asking for. You'll need to talk to the Research Center about it, since I don't have a diagram for this. |
---|
→ I'm a little too busy at the moment. | ||
| That's too bad. I'll keep this commission for you for a bit, but the Mayor's is really pressing forward with everything so I can't wait too long. |
---|
Upon receiving the mission, the diagram was not provided thus the player asks Petra for help.
Ask Petra[]
Meet her to start a conversation about the mission.
| Wind generators? This is a somewhat alien subject to me but I'll give it a go. Can you bring me 5 Data Discs to assist me in the effort? Thanks! |
---|
Collect Data Discs[]
The following materials are needed to complete this mission:
- Data Disc (5)
| O-kay, I'm going into hermit mode now to get this researched. Go home and I'll let you know when it's done. |
---|
Wait for Diagram(s)[]
After giving Petra the Data Discs, on the following day, a letter will arrive in the mail box:
Normal From: Petra |
Hi Player,
I'm sorry, I have yet to complete my research on these wind generators just yet, even with Merlin's help. We're lacking a vital piece of information; how to get the rotational speed of the generator up to capacity. The current rotor speed calculations won't give us enough electrical current. I'll continue with my research to see if I can solve this. If I remember correctly, Phyllis is from Highwind, was a specialist in this area. Maybe she knows something we don't? Petra |
Unfortunately, Petra was unsuccessful in completing her research but mentioned Phyllis might know something due to being native from Highwind.
Talk with Phyllis[]
Upon talking with Phyllis, the player will learn that while she is from Highwind, her parents are silversmiths and do not deal with machines. However, she informs that Nora's parents own the Highwind company that builds machines.
Nora? |
| Yeah, her family owns the Highwind Electric Company, so I'm pretty sure she knows everything there's to know about generators. |
---|
Talk with Nora[]
While meeting with Nora to talk about the diagram, the player learns that she is the daughter of the company that builds machines to destroy other humans therefore her reason to become a missionary.
Minister Lee will stop her from giving help as he tells her about her mission and the Church of Light.
Nora is adamant to give the answer to the problem as it will help the citizens and it is not used as a weapon of destruction.
She tells the player to return back while she informs Petra.
| Hi Player, can I help you? |
---|
Yes, in fact... |
| Oh...that's simple, all you need is... |
---|
| Wait, Nora! |
---|
| Minister... |
---|
| I've heard what's going on. Nora, you cannot help with this corrupted project! |
---|
What? Why not? |
| But! |
---|
| Nora, you became a missionary because of your family's position on technology, right? If you help with this, how are you different from them? |
---|
| That's all I'm going to say on this subject. You need think about it and decide. |
---|
| Minister Lee... |
---|
- What did he mean by "your family's position?"
- That's stupid, there's nothing dangerous about generators.
Nora knows that the future of her decision might be used for evil as well, but in the end she decides to trust the Builder and help.
Alright, no worries. I'll figure out another way. |
Thank you. Is this okay? |
| Don't worry, the Minister will come around once he sees the result. |
---|
Wait for Diagram(s)[]
The Wind Turbine (Diagram) arrives the following day via letter.
Normal From: Petra |
Hi Player,
Thanks to Nora's assistance, I was able to finish the diagram for the Wind Turbine. She had a surprisingly deep knowledge of turbines. Please find the diagram attached. Petra |
