The Altars of Apsu and the artifacts of Balaur Lords...?

Then we can assume that the objective of Stellin's development project is Balaur Lords’ Legacy. It makes sense. Every one of the Balaur Lords' Legacies contains incredible power.



Demaha must be rife with hidden powers of Apsu, since it was abandoned for so long....



Player: "Why do they want it?"

That is the question, isn't it? What are they trying to achieve by collecting the power from the Balaur Lords’ Legacy they secured.



I'm particularly concerned by the part that said, "After extracting the power from Balaur Lord's Legacy, the essence is sent to the lab with the other ingredients."

If the Balaur Lord's Legacy is really used to make ST-IX....

We have to find out for sure!

Player: "I agree."

The research logs, the report you told me about, there's a place that's mentioned in all of them.

Secret ST Research Center. I had a feeling the answer could be found there. As I'd hoped, I found a promising lead.


All the Balaur Lords’ Legacy that Stellin acquires are sent to a certain place. If we look there, I'm sure we'll discover Secret ST Research Center or another secret facility.





You should infiltrate this secret facility and uncover the truth. This time, we'll get our hands on damning evidence. Here, take this. The Spy Orb can record images, so we'll have records of anything you use it on.

Player: "Got it."

(You can see the dark interior through the steel bars. There's no doubt it's a sewage drain.)

(A foul odor emanates from inside.)

(It doesn't seem like anyone would go through here willingly.)





Player: "Well.... here goes."

Are you okay? Can you move?

Player, how did you get here...

That was a close one!

Player: "...Thank you."

You saved me too, Player, remember?

It's no big deal.

We're friends, uh... right? I think.



Player: "If we're friends, you should come with me. Stellin is dangerous."

I... I can't. I'm sorry. You're my friend, Player, but I have a friend at Stellin, too.

I can't leave without him. I have to convince him to leave, too. At least, I have to try.







...You should go, Player. It's too dangerous for you here.

Player: "Be careful."

Balaur Lord... ascension? ...Wait.



High purity power extracted from the Balaur Lord's Legacy, a drug to increase strength, Balaur test subjects....



It can't be... Stellin is....! Those absolute lunatics! Player, I... I need a moment, please.
