Level 1
The Pizza Chef: Welcome, and thank you for coming. I’ll inspect your cargo. Excellent work. This cargo is in perfect condition. I knew you would arrive soon. You are a very dependable man. Please connect me to this network of yours.
The Pizza Chef: Thank you. This technology is remarkable. I expect I’ll receive plenty of new business. And speak of the devil – a new order just came in now. I look forward to seeing you again soon, Sam.
Charlie: Excellent work, Sam. You’ve made a big difference today. According to APAS’s analysis, pizza-hungry individuals in the area could prove instrumental in the further expansion of the chiral network. Anyway, let’s press on to the next site awaiting you and your Q-pid, shall we? It bears mentioning that the denizen located there has a reputation as a very cautious individual. Take care not to give them cause to doubt your intentions. Go ahead and pick up your new main order from the delivery terminal on-site so we can get underway.
APAS: This cargo has been designated “Keep Flat” and requires urgent delivery.
Level 2
The Pizza Chef: Welcome, and thank you for coming. I’ll review the orders now. I did not expect you to bring me this—but I’m glad you found it. Thanks, and be careful out there.
Dollman: Sam, the misanga you just delivered to the Pizza Chef appears to have triggered something. Shall we go inside? Proceed with caution, though… Look, Sam. There’s a door over there. Ghost mechs! That was a close call… But why would there be ghost mechs inside the Pizza Chef’s facility?
The Pizza Chef: No one will ever stop me from making my pizzas. Pizzaaaaaa!! Those who dare disrespect pizza do not deserve to live.
Sam: Mmm…Goddamn!
The Pizza Chef: You must be Sam. There’s something I would like to give you. I’ll need a moment. Please wait at the delivery terminal upstairs. Sam.
Sam: So what was that? Martial arts? A form of karate I invented while honing my craft. Karate, huh?
The Pizza Chef: Pizza-Do Acrobatic Karate, to be correct. Let me ask you Sam… What in your personal opinion is the single most important factor in serving good pizza to one’s customers?
Sam: I don’t know. How you cook it? Or season it, maybe?
The Pizza Chef: Hmm… It is the delivery man. Without him, the pizza delivery tradition would not exist. By the way, sorry about before.
Sam: You’re the guy who makes the pies here, right? Which means that you’re the real pizza chef?
The Pizza Chef: Hmm, indeed.
Sam: So what exactly happened here?
The Pizza Chef: I just got so caught up rebuilding the roads—I didn’t notice those fiends breaking in. After they imprisoned me, they used an impostor to run my business as normal. Except my pizza deliveries were just a cover to smuggle weapons. A scheme in which I was their unwilling accomplice. But I had faith that someone would eventually put a stop to it all. Thank you again for saving me. I’m in your debt. You know, there are very few who could hold their own against me as well as you did. I’m going to increase your materials allocation. Read this. It will help you to learn one of my secret techniques: the Great Spinning Pizza Strike. With it, you can use rubber pizza dough to silently subdue enemies a short distance away. Refine your execution through VR training.
Sam: Can I use pizza-do acrobatic karate?
The Pizza Chef: You already possess the necessary foundation. The enemy’s stance, where they are strong and weak—you see these things. For instance, you can quickly restrain an opponent with rope, can you not? Well Sam, the essence of Pizza-Do Acrobatic Karate is concentration. While observing your foe, you must channel your strength in preparation for a single strike. VR training will help you learn. But someone with your potential should have no trouble at all.
Sam: A rubber pizza?
The Pizza Chef: Pizza chefs hone their craft with rubber dough just like this. But I find it functions just as well as a weapon. Try tossing it at an enemy. If you manage to strike them in the head, the force of the spinning dough will incapacitate them for a time. They will suffer no permanent harm, of course, and you will have a chance to remain undetected.
Sam: Bye then.
The Pizza Chef: I intend to rebuild this pizzeria of mine. For the new world and the people who will need to be fed. Help me to achieve this goal—and to ensure that no more weapons are delivered in my name. Come back soon.
Level 3
The Pizza Chef: Well, well, I see that you’ve returned. Wait while I check the orders. This cargo is in exceptional condition—your skill is to be commended. Where did you find this cargo? Words cannot express my gratitude. I’ve kept this data under lock and key here for a while now. But I think you will put it to good use. I’m going to increase your materials allocation. As thanks for your assistance, there is something I would like you to have. This contains secret knowledge of another technique of mine: the Pizza Whirlwind Kick. It allows one to defeat multiple enemies in quick succession. Very useful if you happen to be outnumbered. See for yourself in VR training. Oh, and this—the machine gun—is just something that was collecting dust in storage. I am not skilled with such weapons, but I think you will have no difficulty wielding it. Do come and visit me again.
Level 4
The Pizza Chef: I’m sorry for making you work late. One moment while I check the orders. You’ve kept it in such beautiful condition. Remarkable. Only a dedicated porter like you could have carried out so many jobs for me. You’re always working so very hard, Sam. Believe me when I say that I am grateful beyond words. You are always so willing to help. Allow me to increase your materials allocation once more. As thanks for your assistance, there is something I would like you to have. I believe you are finally ready to receive this. Read it to obtain the knowledge of yet another of my secret techniques: the Great Spinning Pizza Slam. It is based on traditional pizza tossing movements. With proper execution, it can be devastating to an enemy. Even the mechs you sometimes face would be no match. And what’s more, striking your targets with the rubber pizza dough will seem easier than ever now. Learn and practice with VR training. Ah, I have a knit cap for you, too. I was thinking earlier that it might suit you. That is all for now, Sam. Take care.
Level 5
The Pizza Chef: I’ve been waiting for you, Sam. One moment while I check the orders. How did you make the trip here so quickly? I must learn your secret. Sam, I want you to know you have my utmost respect. I’ve prepared something to express my appreciation. You are always so willing to help. Allow me to increase your materials allocation once more. As thanks for your assistance, there is something I would like you to have. I have never allowed anyone else to represent my restaurant. Not until this day. The boots can and will break down with use, but you can fabricate another pair if you like. And so, my boots, hat, and suit are yours. Put them all on, and everyone will recognize you as a pizza delivery man. You deserve to be the very first to wear this outfit, Sam. Others will surely recognize your dedication and let you stay at their shelters. Now, let us get back to work.
