Level 1
Lauren Tsai: So, are you a porter? Wait… Are you here about that missing cargo of mine? I’ll take a look at it now. Where did you find this? I’m so grateful. Thank you. You know, I always thought you’d come to my aid one day. You can go ahead and connect me to the chiral network.
Lauren Tsai: Whoa… Guess I’m online now. Interesting. The network has more uses than I realized. A lot more people can see my illustrations now. Oh, I’ve shared some color data I think will suit you. You can use this data to customize your headwear and other clothing. A change of outfit can really improve your mood.
Sam: You work on illustrations out here?
Lauren Tsai: I went looking for a place where I could focus on my art, and… found myself here. There’s so much beauty to be found in this place. Infinite sources of inspiration. Don’t get me wrong, I’m not blind to the destruction the Death Stranding has wrought. Some of us just see things through a different lens. Now, we’re in a newborn world that’s yet to be shaped – a blank canvas. It’s filled me with so many intense emotions that I want to convey to everyone else. I just hope that somehow I can translate these feelings into my art.
Sam: I’d best be moving on.
Lauren Tsai: Thanks for coming. I’m glad we were able to meet. You’ve given me what I needed to finally complete the piece I’ve been working on. I’ll let you know when it’s finished. Till then, take care.
Level 2
Lauren Tsai: It’s kind of you to drop by in this weather. Let’s see how the orders are coming along. Incredibly good condition. I can tell you take pride in your work. Since you arrived, it’s never been easier to focus on my work. Here, I want you to use this. I increased the amount of materials you can take from my stores. Figured you could use some more. I’ve shared some color data I think will suit you. Experiment with it. Oh, and my latest piece is coming together. Almost done. I’ll be sure to post about it on the SSS the moment it’s ready. Hope you check it out. I’ve also settled on a motif for my next work, thanks to you. It’s too early to tell where it’ll take me, but that’s the best part. We’ll have to wait and see.
Level 3
Lauren Tsai: It’s always good to have you. I’ll take a look at those orders. This delivery seems to be in decent condition. I’m glad you could get it here. Where did you find this? I’m so grateful. Thank you. My head is overflowing with ideas these days—including one I want to share with you. I increased the amount of materials you can take from my stores. Figured you could use some more. Oh, I’ve shared some color data I think will suit you. Give it a try. You’re like a breath of fresh air every time you visit. Refreshing and invigorating. I mean, my process has never been smoother. I can already visualize my next illustration. As soon as it’s finished, I’ll let everyone know. You should check it out, too. I’ve got a feeling you’ll like it. Till next time, Sam.
Level 4
Lauren Tsai: It’s kind of you to drop by in this weather. Let’s see how the orders are coming along. I was not expecting you to deliver this cargo. Is there anything you can’t do? You’ve done so much for me—helped me make such progress in my work. Maybe I can return the favor with this? You can use more of my materials if you like. It’s okay, I want you to. Hey, I’ve shared some color data I think will suit you. Got a feeling it’ll be right up your alley. Ever since you started coming around, I sometimes find myself thinking back to when I first expressed myself through art. I feel like I’ve recaptured that passion while still retaining the maturity that’s come with getting older. Anyway, my latest piece should be ready to share very soon. I’ll post about it on the SSS. Keep an eye out, okay?
Level 5
Lauren Tsai: It’s nice to see you again, Sam. Been looking forward to this. Let me just confirm order data. That is a surprising amount of cargo. I have no idea how you brought it. Sam, you may be one of the most important people in my life right now. Let me show my appreciation with this gift. You can use more of my materials if you like. It’s okay, I want you to. Had a chance to check out my art, Sam? The last few illustrations I shared are actually part of a series. I was wondering if you’d noticed the connection. You see, taken as a whole, they’re meant to represent a single world. The one I’m working on now will be the final piece. You’ll be the very first to know the moment it’s complete. Make sure you view it alongside the rest of the collection. Nothing compares to the fulfillment I get from creating art. But picking new colors for you is fun too. Let’s continue to collaborate, Sam.
