KU-Key:
Master Rover! You finally answered!
KU-Key:
Do you remember me? It's KU-Key!
KU-Key:
You know, the top assistant of our Master of Cleaning at the Black Shores? Ring any bells?
KU-Key:
The little robot you've saved so many times…
KU-Key:
Yes, it's me! I knew you wouldn't forget me!
KU-Key:
I'm reaching out because I need your help. Our system detected a frequency almost identical to the Aetherfin's in the Black Shores.
KU-Key:
But the location's still covered in corrupted data and needs some cleaning…
KU-Key:
And you, Master Rover, are definitely the best person for the job!
KU-Key:
Super cleaner duo, ready to show again! Let's go Aetherfishing, Rover!
KU-Key:
Ku ku ku, the Aetherfin is a legendary Remnant creature that hasn't been seen in two decades!
KU-Key:
But instead of listening to me ramble, how about you come see it for yourself?
KU-Key:
Anyway, I've sent the coordinates to you.
KU-Key:
I'll be waiting there, so don't keep me hanging!
KU-Key:
It is, indeed.
KU-Key:
It's great to finally see what's captured in those pictures.
KU-Key:
Ah… Sorry, I didn't mean to hide this from you.
KU-Key:
This mission was supposed to be a surprise.
KU-Key:
After that crisis, I found some old pictures while cleaning Necrostar's waste data.
KU-Key:
I saw you in those pictures, gazing at the Aetherfins.
KU-Key:
Whoever took them is... a mystery now.
KU-Key:
But they must be precious to both you and that person.
KU-Key:
Speaking of which, I've always wanted to thank you properly since last time.
KU-Key:
How about I take a picture of the scenery here for you as a keepsake?
KU-Key:
The past may be gone, but new stories are always waiting!
KU-Key:
It's just old data, nothing special…
KU-Key:
The System does have records on the Aetherfins, but since they haven't been spotted in almost twenty years, I never got the chance to see one.
KU-Key:
You've seen the Mutterflies before, right? They're the same kind of creature—both made of pure Remnant Energy.
KU-Key:
But unlike the Mutterflies, you won't find any Aetherfin outside the Black Shores. They're unique to this place.
Black Shores Researcher:
Hey, KU-Key, I just noticed the corrupted data in the upper area has been cleaned. Are you with Rover now?
KU-Key:
Yes! We just saved a bunch of Aetherfins!
Black Shores Researcher:
Good job, you two. There's another emergency for you. I'll keep it short.
Black Shores Researcher:
Our frequency monitor just detected more Aetherfins in the lower area.
Black Shores Researcher:
The waveform matches what you uploaded, so they might be trapped in corrupted data too.
Black Shores Researcher:
Could you go check it out?
KU-Key:
No problem! Just leave it to us!
KU-Key:
You're welcome! Actually, I've already taken one while we were on the surface! I'll print it as well!
KU-Key:
By the way, the Shorekeeper just helped us. It would be nice to thank her in person.
KU-Key:
It must be quite a while since she's seen the Aetherfins again.
KU-Key:
We did it! So these are the Aetherfins! It's my first time seeing them myself.
KU-Key:
They look exactly the same as those pictures. Incredible…
KU-Key:
Ahhh! Why are these digital Tacet Discords attacking me again!? Stay back!
KU-Key:
L-listen up! Take one more step and I'll activate extermination mode!
KU-Key:
KU-Key switching to extermination mode! Ultimate power!
KU-Key:
Warning! Warning—I'm not equipped with this module! Somebody help me!
Rover:
Hang in there...
KU-Key:
Ha… Thank goodness you saved me! Thank you so much, Master Rover!
KU-Key:
Yes! All thanks to you!
KU-Key:
If you hadn't been here, I wouldn't be in one piece.
KU-Key:
Sorry, I was trying to be a hero with no plan and backup.
KU-Key:
I saw some Aetherfin were trapped in the corrupted data and thought I could help, but those Tacet Discords just came out of nowhere...
KU-Key:
But still, we've got work to do!
KU-Key:
All you need to do is find the corrupted data's core and clean it with the System's clearance, just like last time.
KU-Key:
I'll do everything I can to assist you! Just don't forget to get clearance from me before you start cleaning!
KU-Key:
It seems they want to take you somewhere. I've never encountered anything like this.
KU-Key:
Let's follow them, Rover!
KU-Key:
Warning! Warning! Damage control unit is ineffective!
KU-Key:
Nooo! Don't hit me! I can't hold on anymore!
KU-Key:
Help me! Master Rover!
KU-Key:
Visual module damaged… System disconnecting… Am I... getting formatted?
KU-Key is unconscious now. Mission failed.
KU-Key:
The Aetherfins really can dance, just like in the pictures!
KU-Key:
Hm? Did something go wrong?
KU-Key:
The core is gone, but corruption persists...
KU-Key:
Oh, I see it now! Look up, Master! There's another core up there!
KU-Key:
Think you can hide from us? No way!
KU-Key:
Use the portals, Master! With clearance, you can get through the portal to reach it.
KU-Key:
Try shooting at that Data Wall!
KU-Key:
Here we are! The corrupted data is right there. Let's go clean it!
KU-Key:
Why do these Tacet Discords always stick around me? Wait… did I draw them here?
KU-Key:
Good luck, Rover!
KU-Key:
Ku ku ku, wonderful cooperation as always! Mission accomplished!
KU-Key:
Seems like the Aetherfin is waiting for you by the sea. I guess they want to thank you!
KU-Key:
Location confirmed. Let's use the portals again!
POI_HFZSLDZLHS_11_4
KU-Key:
Is it really that obvious?
KU-Key:
Wait! I'm just doing this to better assist you! Definitely not because I think it's cool…
KU-Key:
Don't waste our time here! Let's go!
KU-Key:
Let's go if you're ready, Rover.
KU-Key:
It would take a lot of time to walk there, so I've requested temporary access to the Shorekeeper's portals.
KU-Key:
With them, we can move much faster.
KU-Key:
Of course! As your best assistant, I've got to know these things.
KU-Key:
You can also activate the portals with your special clearance, just like last time.
KU-Key:
Anyway, I've opened up the portal for you. Let's get going!
KU-Key:
Hey! Why are they suddenly swimming upward? The portals can't be opened in such a short time!
KU-Key:
Wait, is that… the Shorekeeper's portal? Let's get in, Master Rover!
The Shorekeeper is staring at the Aetherfins.
Shorekeeper:
The Aetherfins.
Shorekeeper:
They vanished when you left the Black Shores, and now, after 20 years, they are here again.
Shorekeeper:
Thanks to you and KU-Key, they can now swim freely here, as they once did.
Shorekeeper:
Everything's back to the way it used to be.
Shorekeeper:
No, that's not it. I'm simply reflecting on what you said before…
Shorekeeper:
"No one ever steps in the same river twice."
Shorekeeper:
I wonder… is this all just a beautiful dream?
Shorekeeper:
As a part of the Tethys System, I cannot assume a physical form and lack the ability to dream.
Shorekeeper:
But recent events have made me question if I'm truly back in reality. Could I still be trapped inside the Necrostar's event horizon?
Shorekeeper:
Or perhaps I am lost in a fleeting dream at light speed, unable to awaken?
Shorekeeper:
…Apologies. Please excuse my strange ramblings.
Shorekeeper:
Since that last incident, I find myself plagued by strange and erratic thoughts from time to time.
Shorekeeper:
Is that so? You've said this before.
Shorekeeper:
Again, thank you for saving the Aetherfins. These gentle beings are reminiscent of those Black Shores members who once filled these halls.
Shorekeeper:
Their presence reminds me of so many familiar faces… They never truly left us.
Shorekeeper:
Rover? Is something wrong?
Shorekeeper:
I apologize. I didn't intend to monitor you.
Shorekeeper:
It's just that... I found it difficult not to be attentive.
Shorekeeper:
When KU-Key was unable to open the portal in time, I stepped in instinctively.
Shorekeeper:
Am I... troubling you?
Shorekeeper:
Really? I'm glad to hear that.
