Ardainian Technology is a Heart-to-Heart in Xenoblade Chronicles 2. It can be found in the Armory, 2nd Floor in the Titan Battleship, Gormott Province. It is the first Heart-to-Heart available in the game, and as such is likely to be the first one viewed by the player.
Nia
The inside of a Titan battleship is way different from the
Monoceros, huh...
Poppi α
What is Monoceros?
Nia
Rex, you saw it, right? Moored at a pier back in
Goldmouth?
Jin and co.'s black boat.
Rex
Aah, that really impressive one! It runs without being hooked up to a
Titan, right?
Nia
I'm no expert, but...yeah, looked like it.
Tora
Sound awesome!
Tora want to see too!
Rex
You won't get the chance, unless we see those
Torna guys again.
Tora
Meh-meh-meh-meh?!
Tora change mind. No need to see.
Poppi α
Masterpon change mind at drop of hat...
Rex
Well, the Monoceros was pretty sweet, but this is nothing to scoff at either!
Nia
For sure. It's full of things I've never seen before.
Tora
Ah! That's because this vessel is result of latest breakthroughs in
Ardainian tech!
Regular folk never so much as set foot on board!
Nia
You say breakthroughs in technology, but what you mean is salvaged stuff, right?
Rex
Hmm, not exclusively. I see lots of homegrown improvements as well.
Like this, see? Whatever they've stuffed in here, it's been messed with so much, I can't tell what it was to start with.
Tora
That control panel. It transmit signal to Titan nerves.
By running cables to different parts of Titan from here, can control signal flow much more better.
Rex
Whaaaat...? That's amazing.
Tora
And this cable itself have 2.4 time the speed and 12 time the capacity of previous iteration.
In other words, it on whole other level to stuff other countries use!
Rex
Huh! So if they put this in a smaller Titan vessel, it would work even better!
Nia
*sigh* They seem to be having fun, but it's all gibberish to me...
Poppi, what do you think?
Poppi α
What should Poppi say?
Poppi α
That not even so bad...

Trust +100,

Trust +100
Poppi α
Poppi have access to much varied information.
Considering interests of Masterpon, technology info is especially rich.
So for Poppi is not issue, following conversation in question.
Moreover, if necessary, Poppi could out-geek Masterpon if Poppi try.
Nia
R-right, OK...
I'm...sorry I doubted you...
Poppi α
No worry,
Nia.
Poppi can also hold conversation on favorite bug dishes of Nia.
Nia
You're too kind...
I should point out though, it's not bugs I like, but fish.
Poppi α
Meh-?! Poppi apologize.
Poppi update her database now. Masterpon not always fastidious in data entry, so mistakes happen.
Nia
Tora! I like bugs now, do I...?
Tora
Meh-meh! Tora suddenly feel very unsafe.
Rex-Rex, we should move on. If we stay here, something bad bound to happen!
Tora
No time to waste, we go!
Poppi α
Why Masterpon act so proud?

Trust +200
Tora
Ho-hoo! Tora very glad you ask!
That because tech used in this Titan battleship is same as what Poppi's muscles and drivetrain use!
Poppi α
Poppi is surprised!
Tora
But however though! Ones that Poppi use are even more improved than these here!
Poppi α
Yet more surprise!
Nia
...Are you saying you stole the tech from
Mor Ardain?
Rex
C'mon, Tora... Is that what you call sporting behavior?
Tora
Tora take calculated risk in service to cause of scientific advancement...
As result, not even Ardainian scientists capable of reverse-engineer Poppi systems!
So no worries there!
Poppi α
Upon learning secret of Poppi's birth, Poppi feel sense of unease...
Tora
E-everything fine! ...Probably.
Now, Rex-Rex! No time for chit-chat. Let's get going!
