Level 1
Alex Weatherstone: Long time no see, Sam. Though having said that, I realized you probably don’t recognize me like this. Anyway, why don’t you let me take a look at your orders? Looks just about perfect to me. But that’s Sam the man for you. Picked up some lost cargo, I see. Should be a nice surprise for someone! We never doubted you’d show. Reliable as ever, a man you can count on. We’re ready for you to link us up with your Q-pid. Once you do, you’ll have fulfilled your objective of bringing the entirety of Mexico onto the chiral network.
Alex Weatherstone: So, Sam… Don’t suppose you remember who I am? The name’s Alex. I used to work at the weather station back in the UCA. I was a Bridges employee, reporting directly to Deadman. So when I was offered the opportunity to collaborate with him here, studying the Death Stranding and BTs, I jumped at the chance. And here I am. And now you’re here too. You actually couldn’t have come at a better time. Shortly before your arrival, chiral density levels started to climb, hitting significantly higher ranges than before. This kind of spike is indicative of an imminent giant BT appearance. I’ve shared with you some MP bullets that should be very effective against BTs. Because if a giant BT is on the way, then we’re gonna need you to put it down.
Sam: What are you studying right now?
Alex Weatherstone: Well, the delivery you were kind enough to bring us contained a shipment of MP bullets that have anti-BT properties. This ammunition’ll turn your average assault rifle into a BT killing machine. You can also fabricate blood grenades if you want to keep a few on hand. Before you head back out, review your options and requisition any weapons you think you might need. We’ve set aside a ton of extra materials just for this purpose.
Sam: What kind of weapons you got?
Alex Weatherstone: Chiral density levels in this region have been fluctuating wildly. We’ve been seeing a lot of gate quakes and seismic activity as well. It’s almost certainly related to recent shift in the tar currents. Our analysis of these anomalies has led us to believe that the arrival of a giant BT is all but imminent. What the data doesn’t tell us, is exactly where it might appear – our chiral monitoring equipment just wasn’t precise enough to zero-in. Now that you’ve connected us to the network, though, we should be able to make more accurate predictions. We seriously owe you.
Sam: What should I do after this?
Alex Weatherstone: It’s hard to know when this giant BT is going to appear. So for now, you should rest up in your private room and prepare for a potential fight. That’s both mine and Deadman’s recommendation. We’ll keep it posted, Sam.
Alex Weatherstone: Sam, this is Alex. You did it! We’ve confirmed the chiral crystallization of the giant BT. Local chiral dentistry is already dropping fast. I think we can all rest easy for now. You’ve saved a lot of lives by killing that monstrosity. We won’t forget that. Head to the research lab’s private room and take a break – you’ve earned it.
Alex Weatherstone: Hey, Sam. About that message Deadman left for you… I hope you understand that he wanted to tell you all that himself. He didn’t want it to come from me or anyone else. Naturally, we respected his wishes. We’ll also be carrying on his research in his stead. I’m sure you will, but please take care of that last order he left for you. On another note – you can now use PCC to construct generators and bridges. Build them along your delivery routes, and you’re sure to make a ton of other porters very happy. Trust me. Who knows? They might end up returning the favor someday, too. Also, you can now fabricate tri-cruisers – trikes with two front wheels. You’ll be able to build, charge, or repair tri-cruisers at any facility with a garage, like this one. It’s a battery-powered vehicle, so if you run out of juice in the wild, you can always construct a generator to recharge it. Just be careful not to run out of battery when you’re outside network coverage. You can only use your PCC to build generators or any other structures when you’ve got a network connection. So without coverage, you’ll either have to ditch a dead tri-cruiser, or wait forever and a day for the solar panels to recharge it. Once again, thank you for linking up all of Mexico, Sam. Be safe out there, and pay us a visit the next time you’re close.
Level 2
Alex Weatherstone: Out late tonight. Wasn’t expecting visitors. Happy to have you all the same though. Now that’s a delivery done right. I appreciate that you’re always striving for perfection. If only everyone was as kind as you. Take this data—you deserve it. You’ll find that you can claim more materials from our stores. A little perk you’ve more than earned. This schematic is for additional armor that can be equipped to tri-cruisers. Provides added protection for the man in the driver’s seat. For that extra peace of mind when you’ve got to cut through enemy territory. If you like the sound of that, try customizing your tri-cruiser with it. I’ll see you around.
Level 3
Alex Weatherstone: Welcome, Sam. Thanks for swinging by. We can always use the help. Some runs are a lot tougher than others, but you got the cargo here, and that’s what matters most. This data ought to make your life easier. Our way of supporting you like you support us. You’ll find that you can claim more materials from our stores. A little perk you’ve more than earned. I’ve just shared a new schematic with you. It’s for a lightweight assault rifle. It occupies less space when carried as cargo, making it that much more portable. Also, it has a faster rate of fire than the standard assault rifle model. It’s my hope that this’ll help you to do your job with less hassle. While you keep busy out there, we’ll focus on our research here. Come back anytime—you’re always welcome.
Level 4
Alex Weatherstone: Good of you to come visit. We’ve been waiting for you. No notable damage that I can see. Good thing we gave this order to you. Stuff goes missing all the time, but it looks like today is our lucky day. Thanks, Sam. Thanks to you, we’ve made incredible strides in our research. Take this data with my gratitude. We all agree that you could use more materials, so we’ve upped your allocation. Take what you need. We’ve found a way to improve the lightweight assault rifle even more. This version comes equipped with a grenade launcher attachment. Keeping it small and portable was a real challenge, but we’ve made this weapon viable for combat at any range. Try it out and let us know what you think.
Level 5
Alex Weatherstone: Take a load off, Sam. Hope I don’t have to tell you you’re always welcome here. Picked up some lost cargo, I see. Should be a nice surprise for someone! I can’t think of anyone who’s done as much for us as you. I want you to have this as an expression of our gratitude. We all agree that you could use more materials, so we’ve upped your allocation. Take what you need. We really appreciate the lengths to which you’ve gone to help support our work here at the lab. Though I’ll never forget how I felt when I saw you take down that giant BT and saved our asses. Haven’t seen any indications of a giant BT appearance ever since then, by the way. You brought us that peace and comfort, Sam. There’ll always be a warm welcome for you here. That’s a promise.
