Mission start· beat 1
- "Nail"
- Geothermal R&D lab. The engine schematics in there are why Vanguard frames outrun everything in the sector — reactor tech that should be twenty years away.
- PILOT
- Where does a scrap-clan warlord get twenty-years-away technology?
- "Nail"
- That's the REAL question, isn't it? Nobody bootstraps from rust to miracle in three years. Someone's feeding him. Grab the schematics — and grab the receipts while you're at it.

This conversation uses an older floor number than the current mission length. It is included here for story reference; its original timing may differ from your playthrough.
- PILOT
- Schematics secured. Nail — look at the design margins. Cygnus watermarks, scrubbed but not scrubbed enough.
- "Nail"
- Cygnus 'lost' a factory to Valerius, and their engine tech 'coincidentally' powers his army. That's not conquest, kid. That's INVESTMENT. The corporation is growing itself a warlord.
- PILOT
- Then Valerius isn't the top of this. He just doesn't know it yet.
- "Nail"
- Ohhh, he is going to HATE that. Almost worth telling him ourselves, just to watch.
