We're not unaware of the Lepharist activities, but we never dreamed it would be on this scale.

We've interrogated a captured Lepharist but got little but gibberish from him.

There was mention of a synthetic creature, but unfortunately, we haven't learned anything else.

Player: "Where is this prisoner?"

For the moment, he's in the fortress prison.

Why don't you visit Nargis? Perhaps your interrogation will prove more fruitful.

Run down any leads Nargis may give you, no matter how strange they sound.

Player: "Right away."

Pretor... Pretor guards the place!

A huge monster... We're all doomed!

How could I know?! Who could forsee the creation of such a thing?

Player: "What did you create?"

Where is Lapontos? Right! He fell near the Heiron Pass! Blast their shadow-scorched souls!

No, he can't be dead! He owes me 10 Kinah!

I have to find... the research journal. It'll explain everything. Didn't Lapontos have it?

Player: "Try to rest."

(It's the body of Lapontos.)

(There's a tattered research notebook in his pocket.)

Player: "This must be what Nargis meant."

(There's nothing left but empty pockets and rot.)

Player: "I guess he still owes Nargis 10 Kinah."

Did you get anything from Nargis, that poor fool?

He only spoke gibberish to us but judging from the sly smile on your face, you had better luck.

What have you found?

Player: "This research journal may help."

The Lepharist bastards must be really crazy! How can they dare to...RM-78c? What in the Abyssal Desolation is that?

Ah, I'm sorry. I've worked too long alone to notice when I talk to myself.

We're fortunate that Lapontos kept such detailed notes. From the journal, we may piece together the purpose of this laboratory.

Player: "What are they doing?"

The secret laboratory is at the back of the Rotron Experiment Lab in the northern part of the Lepharist Research Center. If you see Gatekeeper Kirrin, you're there.

Go inside and find the key to the Bio Experiment Lab by searching the lounge and the old library. Destroy the giant flasks that the Lepharists are using to make their abominations.

Then go to the Ormenon's room at the deepest part of the laboratory and kill RM-78c. Regrettable, but necessary.

Player: "Light guide me!"

Of course you haven't a clue!

Didn't I tell you to start the investigation by interrogating Nargis?

Now hurry up and find out what the Lepharists are up to!

Player: "At once!"

Unearthing and crushing a Lepharist conspiracy? Impressive accomplishments in one so young.

Your reputation is well deserved. You shy away from nothing.

Please accept this reward for your service. You've more than earned it.
