Dialogue[edit]
Noah
We'd better start preparing to move out too.
Eunie
Noah, mate, do you wanna go to the Commissary, do some equipment shopping?
Lanz
Gotta get him togged out with something a bit more solid, yeah? Make him a bit less squishy.
Mwamba
You should be flush with cash, since we just got the reward for that Colony Sigma job, right?
I'll show you some top-notch accessories.

Eunie
Could do worse than take a bit of advice from a battle-worn hardcase like Mwamba, huh?
Noah
Cheers, Mwamba.
Riku
Then we go to Commissary?
Mwamba
Camilla's taking point on distribution around this time, I reckon.
Noah
Good to know. All right, let's go and take care of the prep, then.
Talk to Camilla[edit]
Camilla
Hey guys. Keeping the hustle alive, I see?
Mwamba
Yeah, you could say that. Listen, could we get a Bronze Temple Guard? I wanna get Noah kitted out.
Camilla
Sure thing, here you go.
Glad I could be of some help!
Come again!

Come again!
Buy a Bronze Temple Guard[edit]
Lanz
A Bronze Temple Guard, eh? Nice, nice. Should make our job a bit easier, at least.
Eunie
Aw, yeah. Hurry up and put it on already.
Noah
Yeah, I'm on it.
Equip a Bronze Temple Guard[edit]
Noah
...Yeah, OK. I do feel a bit tougher already.
Eunie
Wow, that's the mark of a good piece of gear.
Mwamba
The Commissary's stacked with useful bits and bobs like that. You'll wanna stop by every now and then.
Anything to get an extra edge in the fight against Agnus, right? If we show consistent results, the colony might be promoted too.
That'll improve the quality of the equipment on offer here as well.

Noah
We'll do our best to help make it happen. Thanks, Mwamba.
Lanz
All right! So, we all geared up, then? Let's get over to the plaza, double-time.
Noah
Yeah.
Roald
...Huh? Really? Well, that's a pickle.
Noah
Hm?
Eunie
Oi, Noah, what's the hold up? We going or not?
Noah
Yeah, sorry, it's just...
Riku
He look troubled somehow?
Lanz
...Oh, sparks' sake. You're gonna put on your goody-two-shoes cap *now*?
Tch, fine. Let's see what's up, then...
Tch, fine. Let's see what's up, then...
Talk to Roald[edit]
Noah
Hey, Roald. Something the matter?
Roald
Oh, Noah.
Uh, it's nothing. I don't want to distract you from the big mission.

Noah
Maybe it'll help us both in the end. Come on, tell us what's wrong.
Roald
Hahah, nosy as ever, I see. Thanks, though.
You know about that urgent mission issued this morning, I suppose?
It came up so suddenly, we didn't have time to ready all the resources for the plan...
I mean, we literally just finished fighting against Colony Sigma!

Noah
Pretty frustrating, yeah...
Roald
We could pick the stuff easy enough, but there's not enough hands to go around, so I'm not sure I can make up the shortfall...
Noah
If that's all there is to it, I'd be happy to help. It'll be a quick job with more people, right?
Roald
You would? Really?
Noah
We've been assigned to the mission too, so we're going to need those supplies.
Roald
Well then, thanks! It's a load off my mind.
Noah
Sure thing. What do you need?
Roald
Here's the rundown.
Chewy Radishes, three. Clusterelles, also three. Finally, two portions of Rich Fish Meat.
I've put the request up on a Collectopaedia Card. Would you mind double-checking that you can see it?

Noah
Collectopaedia Card, got it.
Check Roald's Collectopaedia Card[edit]
Noah
Right, I've got it memorized.
Roald
Sorry for the hassle, and thank you.
Mwamba
The fish meat comes from the Piranhaxes swimming around the colony entrance.
Eunie
As for the Chewy Radishes and Clusterelles, I think I remember picking them around there as well...?
Lanz
So it's all in the colony area, then? Great, at least we won't have to go far.
Eunie
And with us on the case, we'll get this done well quick.
Noah
I appreciate it.
Eunie
Once we collect all the items, we'll just put them up on the Collectopaedia Card, yeah?
Roald
Exactly. Once you've registered them there, come talk to me again.
I'll be here, checking and packaging the goods.
I'll be here, checking and packaging the goods.
Noah
All right, will do.
Talk to Roald again before collecting items[edit]
Roald
It'd go quicker if I went gathering too, but I've just got so much to take care of... Your help is greatly appreciated.
When you've collected all the stuff, just lob it onto the Collectopaedia Card. I'll be able to confirm it straight away.

Complete the Collectopaedia Card and talk to Roald[edit]
Noah
We got all the things you asked for.
Roald
Yeah, I saw the notification. Thanks a lot.
That should be us, then. I can arrange the necessary supplies now.

Noah
You can? Great! Then we're glad to have been of service.
Roald
I'll be sure to repay you after the big op. Be sure to come back alive, eh?
Noah
Of course we will.
Lanz
I've never used 'em before, but those Collectopaedia Cards sure seem nifty.
Eunie
Well, duh. They let you know what your fellow soldiers need, so everyone can chip in.
Give you an example. I'm always on the lookout for Fourtune Clovers, right? But they're a right pain to spot.
So if I pop a request on my card, someone else might see it and send me one if they find it. That's the rough idea.

Lanz
So lemme get this right... We've got this wicked system at our fingertips, and you're using it to dig up weeds? That's so dumb.
Eunie
You dare?!
Mwamba
We're all soldiers here. You never know if you'll still be here tomorrow. But still...
It's a nice feeling when someone you've met remembers you, thinks about your needs.

Noah
Yeah, it's a good system. Whoever made it had the right idea.
Mwamba
I bet you've been checking up on your Colony 9 buddies every now and again through your Iris, eh?
Noah
Absolutely.
Mwamba
Well, you just be sure to check up on me as well, all right? Make it a daily ritual.
Noah
Hahah, way ahead of you, Mwamba.
Riku
Would recommend to make tracks for assembly point about right now.
Lanz
Shoot, you're right.
Eunie
We're assembling by the Colony 9 Front Gate, right?
Mwamba
Let's go as soon as you're ready to decamp.
