Agate's request[edit]
Rex
Hey, Agate. Is there anything we can do for you?
Agate
Rex? What's this about all of a sudden?
Rex
Well, I just thought, you always look out for us, you know?
I'd like to repay the favor somehow.
I'd like to repay the favor somehow.
Nia
Yes, me too! I'd like to do something nice for you!
Agate
Hmm, well... Let's see... I dunno, you kinda sprung this on me...
Nia
It doesn't have to be anything big. Just give us a hint!
Tora
Exactly, meh! Just think out loud!
Agate
Right, OK. In that case...
I'd like to find a rare mineral! Or something.
I'd like to find a rare mineral! Or something.
Tora
Rare mineral?
Agate
I'm actually an amateur rock hunter.
And, did you know?
When someone discovers a new stone, they get to name it whatever they want.
I always thought that was neat, so finding a new type of mineral is a dream of mine!

Rex
Huh! That's...kinda inspiring.
Nia
On the other hand, I can't imagine discovering a new mineral would be a simple thing to do...
Agate
Naturally! I know it won't be easy, sure I do.
It's just a dream, a vague hope. I'm not too hung up on it.
It's just a dream, a vague hope. I'm not too hung up on it.
Rex
Nah, come on! We can do it! We can make your dream come true if we give it our best shot!
Nobody'd ever fulfill their dreams if we all gave up straight away, right?
Nobody'd ever fulfill their dreams if we all gave up straight away, right?
Tora
Tora agree with Rex-Rex! Let's hunt rocks together as team!
Agate
Thanks to much, you guys!
Tora
But how we find rare mineral now?
Agate
Well, I heard a rumor it's not too hard to find unusual ore in the Old Quarry in Uraya.
If it's OK with you guys, why don't we go and check it out?
If it's OK with you guys, why don't we go and check it out?
Nia
Sure, why not?
Tora
Let's go without dilly-dally!
Opal[edit]
The party has arrived at the Old Quarry.
Agate
Ooh, I wonder what kind of minerals we might find here!
Agate summons her Blade weapon and slams it into the ground. The shockwave fails to unearth a mineral, as something falls face first to the ground instead.
Agate
A b-b-b-BUG?!
Agate recoils in fear, falling to the ground herself.
Rex
Looks like a dead Parisax or something.
Agate
Eek!
The "dead Parisax" begins to crawl.
Nia
Uh, it moved.
Agate
Nooooo-!
The thing continues to slowly and dramatically crawl toward Agate.
Agate
No, get away! Stay away!
Agate kicks the poor thing, stopping it in its track.
Digidigi
That hurt, meh!
Agate
...Huh?
Rex
Oh, hey, it's not a bug, just a Nopon!
The Nopon, wearing a salvager suit, gets up.
Agate
...A...Nopon?
Digidigi
How rude, confuse Digidigi for bug. For shame!
Agate
N-no, I... I'm sorry.
I have a bit of a problem with bugs...
I have a bit of a problem with bugs...
Tora
"Bit of problem" is understatement of year...
Nia
Agate's usually got it together, too.
Rex
That's an unexpected side of her for sure.
Agate
I did say I'm sorry...
Meeting Digidigi[edit]
Agate
Hey, uh... Pardon me... Are you all right?
Digidigi
Of course me not 'all right'! Me got treated horrible!
Rex
Incidentally, what've you been doing in the ground there, guy?
Digidigi
Me not 'guy'! That offensive! Name is Digidigi!
And if friends must know, Digidigi do excavation here, day and night, in search of new kind of mineral!
Digidigi have hunch, see? Feel deep in bones that hereabouts, precious stone wait to be found...
Unfortunately, tunnel sort of collapse, and Digidigi get buried alive.
But friends re-excavate Digidigi! Digidigi grateful!

Agate
Not at all. It was a happy accident, really...
Back up a bit though. You said you were looking for a new mineral?
Back up a bit though. You said you were looking for a new mineral?
Digidigi
Indeed!
This area have lots of precious stone.
Not only that, but can also find crystallized remains of creatures from ancient time.

Not only that, but can also find crystallized remains of creatures from ancient time.
Nia
Digging up bodies sounds a bit yucky if you ask me...
Agate
No way, there's nothing yucky about it!
When ancient creatures' bones turn to stone or to crystal, they make really beautiful fossils.
When ancient creatures' bones turn to stone or to crystal, they make really beautiful fossils.
Nia
Is that right? Huh! I had no idea.
Agate
So, Digidigi, what kinds of rocks have you found so far?
Digidigi
Friend want to know? Well, now, far be it for Digidigi to toot own horn, but...
Me discover two new kinds of mineral.

Agate

They find it here in Uraya sometimes, right?

Please! Teach me the secret of mineral discovery!
Please! Teach me the secret of mineral discovery!
Digidigi
Hmhmhm... Normally, Digidigi would never disclose secrets of art, but in this case...
Fellow rock hunter cannot be bad person! Also, me owe friends my life!
So, as exception, me will tell friends shortcut on road to become geologist extraordinaire.

Agate
Shortcut?
Digidigi
To find rare mineral, friends can't just look like for normal rock.
Instead, must seek out suspicious-looking deposits!
Instead, must seek out suspicious-looking deposits!
Agate
That's a good point... So far I've only looked in the most obvious places.
Digidigi
Then no wonder friend find nothing! Key is to search deposits which nobody else think to search!
Also one other thing. Once friend find rare stone, must confirm mineral is truly new discovery.
In Argentum Trade Guild live jeweler name Misimisi, who also do work as appraiser on side.
Misimisi appraise minerals that Digidigi excavate also. Then pay good money for said minerals.
Misimisi has eye for these things, maybe best in all of Alrest.

Rex
Wow, OK... So to recap, to find rare stones we should check deposits that nobody else would check...
and then take them to Misimisi in Argentum for appraisal, and that's the best way? All right.

Digidigi
Discovery of new minerals is battle against self.
Friends cannot give up, but also cannot rush. If friends stay true to path, success surely follow!
Digidigi see great things in future of friend Agate.

Agate
Thanks for the vote of confidence! I'll do my best, Master Digidigi!
Digidigi
Meheheh... Then job of Digidigi is done here, and me get back to previous job.
Rex
What say we go pay a visit to Misimisi in Argentum?
Agate
Sounds like a plan! We should introduce ourselves if we're gonna be working together.
Meet Misimisi the jeweler[edit]
Agate
You're Misimisi? Hello there! We're here because Digidigi said...
Misimisi
Oh! Friend is Agate?
Agate
You know my name?
Misimisi
Me hear from Digidigi. He say you search for new mineral or some such.
Agate
Exactly! It's always been my dream to discover a brand-new type of mineral.
Misimisi
Normally, Misimisi have policy of refuse appraisal for walk-ins, but...
Digidigi vouch for you, so me make exception. Please no hesitate to bring minerals if you find any!
Me appraise for free, and even pay little something for it if friends bring something good.

Nia
Wahey! How generous!
Tora
Why so surprised? Stingy Nopon is rarity these days.
Dromarch
Master Tora, I think you meant the opposite of what you said...
Misimisi
Misimisi not speak to you! Friend Agate is exception, me said!
Agate
Thank you again!
I hope you like appraising stones, because I know I'll be bringing you lots!
But first I'll have to find them, the rare minerals from deposits all over the world...

When prospecting for minerals, the following dialogue can happen:
A bug appears:
Agate
B-b-b-BUGS?!
Rex
Agate, calm down!
Agate
Nowaynowaynowaynoway-!
A mineral was found:
Agate
I found something!
Rex
...Hmm, I don't think I've seen one like that before.
Nia
...Hmm, I don't think I've seen one like that before.
Agate
Agreed, I think it's something rare. Let's get Misimisi to appraise it!
After mining and appraising a mineral in all seven regions:
Misimisi
Hmmm...
As to be expected, undiscovered mineral not show up very easy.
Maybe best bet for friends is to search in unexplored region.
Searching in same places as everyone else not likely to produce new finds.
But if friends could get to Titan that nobody ever visit before...
Have much better chance of discover brand-new mineral!
If friends ever visit such new place, be sure to collect mineral there.
If friends find unfamiliar type, me always happy to give appraisal.

Amethyst[edit]
The party has arrived in Womb Hollow, in the Land of Morytha. Faced with a bunch of Parisax, Nia lets out a disgusted sound.
Zeke
This place is chockers with Parisax...
Agate
...Parisax?
Mòrag
Not Agate's idea of fun, I can tell...
Rex
What do we do? Should we pull back?
Agate
No, no... I'll be fine!
If that's all there is of them, I can probably handle it, honestly...
And anyway, the mineral I'm after should be back there...
I've come this far and I don't plan on stopping now.
So... Here I go!

And anyway, the mineral I'm after should be back there...
I've come this far and I don't plan on stopping now.
So... Here I go!
Agate, followed by the party, makes her way toward a cliffside, through the group of Parisax.
Agate
I'll just have to not go too close...
Let's maybe move slowly to avoid riling them up...?
Let's maybe move slowly to avoid riling them up...?
A Parisax larva waddles right in front of her, startling her. She lets out a small cry, getting the parasite's attention in the process, which turns around.
Agate lets out an even bigger cry and falls on her side with a thump.
Agate lets out an even bigger cry and falls on her side with a thump.
Nia
Agate, are you OK?!
Zeke
Huh. She's out cold.
Mòrag
We should probably not stall here...
Rex
Let's turn back!
The scene fades to black for a moment. When it fades in again, the party has taken Agate back a few metres away. Agate wakes up and gets up.
Agate
...Uhh? Did I...faint?
...Man. Sorry...
...Man. Sorry...
Rex
Don't even mention it.
Nia
Everyone's got a weakness, yeah?
Agate
Yeah, but... It's so silly...
You guys came here because of my whims, and I just went and passed out...
You guys came here because of my whims, and I just went and passed out...
Tora
So, what we do now?
Agate stares at the Parisax.
Nia
How about we wipe out the Parisax, and call you when the coast is clear?
Agate
That won't do... I know I need to get over this and deal with things myself.
Tora
Tora thought Agate terrified of bugs?
Agate
Well... Yeah, but...
Zeke
OK, here's what you do. First, we cover up your eyes...
Agate
Uh, then I might hit one of you by mistake...
Mòrag
Look Agate, you're always helping out your allies, right?
Isn't it only right to let your allies help you out when the need arises?
Isn't it only right to let your allies help you out when the need arises?
Agate
You're not wrong there, but still...
Zeke
Stop being so difficult...
I gotta admire your stubbornness though.
I gotta admire your stubbornness though.
Rex
Sounds like you'll just have to go and do it then.
Agate
I will, won't I...
Talking to you all, I finally understood.
I want to move forward from here and obtain this new mineral, all on my own strength.
So just because some bugs showed up, I got all woozy? Nah, I'm not giving up that easy.
If slaying some icky icky bugs is what it takes, then I will screw up my courage and slay!

Mòrag
Ah, there, that's the Agate we know.
Agate
Yep!
OK everyone, are we ready to give it another shot?
OK everyone, are we ready to give it another shot?
Rex
Always!
Nia
I'll try to keep up as best as I can, I guess. No holding back, yeah?
Agate
Thank you! OK, let the carapace-kicking commence!
Investigate the cliffs in the Womb Hollow[edit]
Agate's Mining activates.
Agate
Whoa! This stone...
The scene fades to black for a moment. When it fades in again, Agate is examining the stone.
Pyra
What a lovely striated pattern.
Rex
It's amazing! I've never seen anything like it.
Nia
Maybe it's a whole new kind?
Pyra
Misimisi will know. Let's go and get this appraised!
Agate
Yeah! I can't wait!
Turquoise[edit]
The party has gone back to Misimisi's jewelery on Goldmouth Flight Deck.
Misimisi is in the process of appraising the mineral.
Misimisi
Meh-me-meh...
Meh-eh, me-me-me-mehh...
Meh-eh, me-me-me-mehh...
Agate
...Well?
Misimisi
Job is good one! This unlike any mineral me ever saw.
Agate
For sure? For really sure?!
Misimisi
For really sure, meh! It definitely never-before-seen mineral!
Rex
Nice one, Agate.
Zeke
Good to know all that courage wasn't wasted.
Agate
Aww, thanks you guys!
Misimisi
...All right, to victor go spoils. Discoverer of mineral have naming rights!
What friend want to call it?
What friend want to call it?
Agate
Ahh, um...
Rex
Go on, then.
Nia
I bet you've got one ready.
Agate
OK. Then how about... Repymynidro-pomòbrizepan?
Rex
Repymy...what?
Agate
I just took the first syllables of all your names...
Nia
I've forgotten already!
Tora
And is friend not forgetting someone...?
Zeke
Just call it agate, you doofus.
Mòrag
Seconded.
Agate
Just my name? That's so presumptuous! I couldn't have one it without you all.
Rex
Don't be silly!
Misimisi
Right, right. Give mineral name of discoverer is very common thing.
Become proof that friend make this great discovery.
Become proof that friend make this great discovery.
Mòrag
Blades lose their memories eventually...
If that happens to you, Agate,
at least you'll know the people of Alrest will always remember your name.
If that happens to you, Agate,

Zeke
That's not so bad, is it?
Agate
Hm...
So...I can actually call it "agate"?
So...I can actually call it "agate"?
Nia
Yeah, I think it sounds great.
Rex
A pretty name for a pretty chunk of rock.
Misimisi
Then from this day on, this mineral known as agate!
Agate takes the newly-named agate from Misimisi's wing and turns to face the party.
Agate
Thank you so much!
Conclusion[edit]
Agate
After the fight's over and the world is at peace...
I hope we can all go rock hunting together.

Agate
Maybe we can call the next one Rexinite?
Rex
Huh? After me?
Not that I mind, but... Why me?
Not that I mind, but... Why me?
Agate

I don't think I get the appeal, but...knock yourself out.

Zeke
You wanna name one after me?
It'd be the most awesome mineral ever! But, uh...why?
It'd be the most awesome mineral ever! But, uh...why?
Agate
It's the same thing as earlier.
I might not remember myself, but as long as there's a mineral out there that's named after me...
I can live on in everyone's minds...
I just thought I'd like to make sure your name is remembered too, Driver.[1]
If I do that, then even if I forget...
the name of the mineral we found together will live on, right?
...That sounded really soppy, huh?
Make sure you keep it a secret, or else!
