Dialogue[]

Quest Description

You meet Iaune again at the Fontaine Research Institute...

(Approach Choiseul and Iaune)

Choiseul: ...Just like I stressed before, dear Gestionnaire, that's how the procedure goes and there's nothing I can do.

Choiseul: Mr. Roialte did send the list of required documents and I do have them ready.

Choiseul: However, you can't simply come over and take any document. That does not conform with our letter delivery regulations.

Huh? Iaune!

Then I'll fly over here with you later.

Iaune: (Traveler)! So glad to see you. What luck!

Paimon: Hi, Iaune. You're looking good!

Iaune: You as well. It's all thanks to the help I've received from Mr. Roialte and Mr. Semaine.

Choiseul: You know (Traveler) too, Iaune?

Iaune: Of course. (Traveler) did me a huge favor before. Without (‍him/her‍), I wouldn't still be working at the Maison Gestion.

Choiseul: Really? No wonder (Traveler) is an Honorary Senior Researcher of the Institute, hahahaha!

I'm very good at providing moral support.

All I did was fix the Autostamper 3000.

Iaune: Regardless, without your support, I'm sure... I couldn't have made it...

Iaune: I believe I heard Mr. Choiseul call you an Honorary Senior Researcher of the Institute just now?

Bingo. I even have the certificate.

Paimon: And a photo! Paimon's in it, too, but Paimon didn't get a certificate...

Choiseul: Yes, in recognition of (Traveler)'s merits and achievements, the Institute has granted (‍him/her‍) the title of Honorary Senior Researcher.

Choiseul: As for what those "achievements" are... I'll let (‍him/her‍) speak for (‍himself/herself‍). Let's talk business first.

Choiseul: I really cannot hand that document to you right now, Iaune.

Choiseul: But as for what you asked earlier that you'd like a researcher to guide you over and take some pictures near the Institute... That's no problem at all!

Choiseul: I think (Traveler) might just be suited to the job. (‍He/She‍) knows the surroundings like the back of (‍his/her‍) hand, and shall be more than equal to the task.

Choiseul: What do you say, (‍Mr./Ms.‍) (Traveler)?

No problem. Leave it to me.

I'm happy to help Iaune out.

Iaune: You're so kind. As long as you're there, it should be fine. When I came, all I saw were out-of-control meka and monsters...

Iaune: But taking pictures isn't the priority here. Truth be told, Mr. Choiseul...

Choiseul: I'd love to help you too, Iaune, but the procedure is procedure and my hands are tied. Please don't make it hard on a lowly public official who only knows how to stamp documents.

Iaune: All right, I'll discuss this with Mr. Roialte later, after I return...

Iaune: Goodbye, Mr. Choiseul. Have a nice day.

Choiseul: Thank you. I hope you enjoy your time at the Fontaine Research Institute.

Iaune: It's your turn to be the guide now, (Traveler). Why don't we go to the Mary-Ann Memorial Park first?

(Talk to Choiseul, optional): Choiseul: Raimondo still isn't back yet... What is he up to?

(Approach Mary-Ann Memorial Park): Iaune: Those meka look like they are out of control. I noticed as soon as I arrived.; Iaune: I even took the long route just to bypass them...; Iaune: *sigh* The Fontaine Research Institute is just letting them run wild here, and doing nothing about them...

(After defeating the Recon Log Meks)

Iaune: Uh, is this the Mary-Ann Memorial Park? I can't tell it's a park at all...

Iaune: Mr. Roialte will be disappointed. He was hoping to have someone make a speech here.

Iaune: Looking around, a speech is out of the question. There's not even an iconic landmark here, and it's not good for group photos.

You can take some meka back with you as a memento.

Iaune: You're funny, but there's no room in the Maison Gestion for such things.

Iaune: And even if I could, I'd still have to have the meka appraised, reported, categorized, then stored...

Paimon: Hey! We're only joking. No need to get so focused on work all of a sudden...

Iaune: Speaking of reports... I still can't get that document. Mr. Roialte will be disappointed again...

Is Choiseul making it difficult for you?

Iaune: Not exactly. My request was not quite by-the-book, so it's no surprise that he rejected it.

What were you and Choiseul discussing back there?

Iaune: As you may know, the Institute is making plans to rebuild, right? Certain resources and personnel arrangements have to be made through the Maison Gestion.

Iaune: The Maison Gestion takes this matter very seriously, so it had Mr. Roialte select a team to conduct field studies in and around the vicinity.

Iaune: Therefore, Mr. Roialte stayed behind at the Maison Gestion to do the head count, while I am to visit the Institute to coordinate the reception.

Iaune: It happens that the Institute has a letter for the Maison Gestion, so I thought since I'm here already, I might as well bring it back with me...

Iaune: But Mr. Choiseul insisted it was a violation of proper procedure and simply would not give it to me.

Paimon: Violation of procedure? What procedure?

There are proper procedures for picking up a document?

Paimon: Uh, don't tell Paimon there's gonna be running around for approvals, signatures, and listening to bureaucrats babble on endlessly as well...

Iaune: Simply put, most official correspondence within the Maison Gestion must be mailed.

Paimon: What? Then... What if the departments mailing the letter are on the same street, or even right across from each other?

Iaune: Yes, you still have to mail it. That's for the purpose of being "traceable."

Gestionnaires sure aren't afraid of work.

Iaune: I suppose everyone is just used to it all by now...

Iaune: Never mind, let's just go to the next spot. Let me check the memo Mr. Roialte left for me... Uh...

Iaune: This place is called... the Institute's Academic Assembly Hall. Strange... I didn't see any buildings with such a sign when I came.

I know where it is, just follow me.

Iaune: I knew I could depend on you! What would I do without you?

Iaune: Let's hurry, then. There might be more out-of-control meka around here...

(Approach the Academic Assembly Hall): Iaune: Is this the Academic Assembly Hall?; Iaune: I admit, the structure does look like a hall, but what's academic about it?; The academic part is in the researchers' heads.; The rocks aren't academic, that's for sure.; Iaune: All right, good thing I didn't come for anything academic today. Anyway, the building seems relatively... intact.; Intact is all it has left.; Iaune: Ahem! Come on, let's look around. I think this place is perfect for a group photo.; Iaune: I should go find a good vantage point so I won't be at a complete loss if Mr. Roialte grills me.; Iaune: Please take a few pictures for me too, (TravelerTraveler). I heard you're a good photographer, certainly better than me!; I got this.

(Take a picture at the marked location)
(Obtain "Academic Assembly Hall" Picture)

(Talk to Iaune)

Iaune: This one isn't bad... Have you finished taking pictures yet?

Yes.

(Submit "Academic Assembly Hall" Picture)

Almost.

Iaune: Once you're done, please show them to me.

(After submitting the picture): Iaune: Oh my... Too high, far too high!; Are you describing the Institute's academic level?; Iaune: No, I'm marveling at the height of this place! Though the Institute's academics were certainly up there too...; Iaune: But now... *sigh* Who could've foreseen so many hardships for the Institute? And who knows how smooth the reconstruction will be...; Iaune: The last stop is... The Fontaine Research Institute Qualifications Review Representative Office.; All in one breath, impressive.; Iaune: Thank you. But where is it? I didn't notice any such office in the Institute.; Is Desnos in charge of the office?; Iaune: Yes! That's right! You know even this place? I shouldn't be surprised that the Honorary Senior Researcher knows everything about the Institute!; Paimon: Oh, Paimon remembers now! Is it that office in the ruins? If you can count that as an office...; Iaune: Maybe Mr. Desnos shortened the name to make it easy for you to understand.; Iaune: Please lead the way. I have to get some files from Mr. Desnos too. Once I have them, I can return to the Maison Gestion.; Iaune: It's been such an uneventful day today. I should be able to go back and relax soon. The Fontaine Research Institute sure does things differently from... Ahem, I didn't say a thing.

(Talk to Desnos): Desnos: O Archons save me, may no more meka causing trouble... What are you doing here, Iaune?; Iaune: Mr. Roialte has sent me here to conduct an inspection, so I thought I'd drop by and bring you some coffee.; Iaune: But I have to say that your working environment is indeed... quite difficult. I thought this "office" would at least have an actual room.; Desnos: Thank you for the coffee, my dear Iaune. As for the work environment... I'm content with what I have. Look around, at least I'm working under an intact ceiling.; Are you still in charge of the qualifications review?; Desnos: (TravelerTraveler)! No... I should call you Honorary Senior Researcher! Glad to see you.; Desnos: And what's with that sad look, Iaune?; Iaune: *sigh*... It's like this...; With a long face, Iaune recounts all that has happened...; Desnos: Hmm... Is the correspondence some sort of classified document?; Iaune: It can't be. Replies like this are typically in the vein of "Got it," "I have no questions," "I don't know," or something similar...; Iaune: At most, it's copied to different departments to let them know it's something they should care about.; Desnos: Oh, no wonder I got a copy of the letter too... Have a look, is this it?; Iaune: What!? But Mr. Choiseul clearly said he hadn't mailed it yet!; Iaune: ...Oh, he must've meant that the external letters haven't been sent out yet.; Once more, he failed to tell the whole story.; Paimon: People from the Institute are really good at getting under your skin, huh...; Desnos: Judging from your reaction, this must be the document you wanted. I've read it several times already, myself.; This is identical to the document you wanted.; Desnos: Very astute, (TravelerTraveler). I'm sure all the letters that Choiseul sent out are the same, Iaune.; Desnos: Why don't you just take my copy back with you?; Paimon: Wait, what? If Iaune takes it, then won't you have lost yours?; Desnos: Hahahaha, look at me! Nobody will care if someone in my position accidentally loses a nonessential letter.; Not a bad idea.; That does solve the problem, doesn't it?; Desnos: See, Iaune, I'm not just mooching coffee off you!; Iaune: No, Monsieur, I cannot do that. It's against regulations. I'll go back and wait for the official letter to be delivered.; Desnos: My dear Iaune, think outside the box, don't be a fool! Why must you insist on making it hard for yourself?; Desnos: Who knows when that letter will get to you! The sooner you get it, the sooner you can start working and settle all that mess.; Iaune: No, Monsieur. Thank you, but I will not violate regulations. My duty as a civil servant demands it.; Iaune: (TravelerTraveler), Mr. Desnos, and Paimon, I must leave now. Mr. Roialte is still waiting for me to report back.; Iaune walks away with solemn, heavy steps...; Desnos: *sigh* Iaune can be such a fool. His brains have gone all rotten, haven't they?; Desnos: Everyone else tries to make things easier for themselves, yet he insists on going through the motions, even for small things like this.; That's just his character.; That's just the person Iaune is.; Desnos: Admirable, yet scary at the same time. No wonder he has few friends in the Maison Gestion other than Roialte and Semaine.; I'm his friend too.; Paimon: So is Paimon, so is Paimon!; Desnos: That's good. You should be around him more often. I feel Iaune's nerves are getting more and more frayed by the day...; Desnos: As for the letter, I'll see what I can do. I'll pay Mr. Choiseul a visit and ask him to let me mail them out.; Desnos: If he agrees, I'll send one to Iaune as quickly as possible.; Desnos: *sigh* It takes a lot of effort to be friends with a fool...
