| - First, return to the Realian Maintenance Lab. Run down into the center of the room to recieve a secret e-mail. This e-mail starts a side-quest that takes place only in e-mail. You will have to answer questions correctly in order to catch a hacker that is troubling Vector. For now, just agree to help and we'll get back to this later. Gotta wait for them to respond to us. Now, head north a bit to see a bunch of rubble and an old guy in an orange jumpsuit. You may keep going north, or, help Mr. Holgar here clear the way by using his funny drill. He explains how to use it. Just get your favorite camera angle by pressing File:PS3 R2 Button.png (Mine's directly overhead), then press and hold File:Square Button.png to move the drill up and back. Release when you want it to stop, then use File:Square Button.png again to move the drill right and left. Release the drill over your target, and hopefully you will destroy it. This skill comes in handy later for the Driller mini-game, where you can win tons of good items. This is just practice for now, but you will get a DRILL PASSPORT and a MED KIT for clearing the objects out. Definitely get that Passport. Continue north and you will receive an e-mail which will allow you to view Database information on Gnosis and Keywords. Very handy indeed. Access it through the U.M.N. on the menu. Go north through the door. There is a Save Point in the soldier's quarters on the left here. Coincidentally, this is the soldier that taught that poor Realian all of his bad phrases. Go north a little more, then duck left into the nook with the sofas here. You will receive an e-mail from Miyuki begging you to help develop a special weapon. Give the positive response. This will allow you to obtain something very nice for KOS-MOS later on in the game. The other option will deny you that privilege. Go north and out the door at the end of the hall. Go north to speak with Sgt. Swaine. Agree to listen to him. He'll tell you about SEGMENT ADDRESSES and give you a SEGMENT FILE, which will help wonders in keeping track of which doors and decoders you have found thus far. Access it in your Key Items when you need to see what's up with doors and decoders. Just to the right of Sgt. Swaine you'll receive an e-mail about an OOU Namco game called "Ninja Assault 2", which is Guncon 2 compatible lol. I didn't know Shion enjoys video games! Where's SHE been all my life??! ...Oh, yeah, the future. Right. Up the hallway on the left are 2 blue soldiers talking about tag. Agree to play a game of tag with them (The Marine Corps really gets watered down in the future I guess. Vanderkam and Virgil do quite make up for these kids, though), and they will commence chasing Shion. The goal is to get the item behind them, but you must run north and around the square wall with them chasing you and then head back to the item to get it. Your reward is a MED KIT. This can be repeated two more times for the same prize, but no more prizes after that. North and to the west is the entrance to the A.G.W.S. hangar. You can see a Treasure Chest here, but you can't get it yet. There is a shop inside the hangar on the right in the lobby. Buy what you will, but save 500 bucks for an investment e-mail we will receive soon. The other thing you can do in this hangar is practice an A.G.W.S. battle. If you like, you may fight this battle over and over again for a bit to get Shion some levels and Points. At LVL 4 you can do this bare-handed, without A.G.W.S., and it's a good source of Points. Whether you take the high road or the low, this game will still be harder later on, so maybe don't spend TOO much time here. LVL 7 or 8 will put you well ahead of the curve, for now. Head right from the A.G.W.S. hangar to be on the same path as myself. In here, you will see SEGMENT ADDRESS NO. 16 on your left as you progress down the hallway. Continue around until you see what looks like an elevator with transparent orange doors and a guard just to the left of it. That will take you to the bridge, where Shion will deliver her information on KOS-MOS at last. Head on up. Be sure to download the attatchment from the e-mail you get on the way out. After the announcement, head east and then north. Get near the first plant display to receive a certain investment e-mail. Invest 500 bucks in good 'ol Vector, as it will soon net you KOS-MOS' F.BSHOT ability quicker than normal. Any response will get you 10% off all items purchased in the future, but we want F.BSHOT as well. Head west to return to the A.G.W.S. hangar. Head west in the hangar to claim your package at the desk. It's the M.W.S., Shion's weapon in battle. On the way out, Shion indicates she wants to return to her room. Do so by heading back east to the elevator, then heading south, and then right into the first room. Take a nap if you're done with everything on the Woglinde, then it's cutscene time! Seriously, make sure you're done with everything you want to do on the Woglinde for now.
