Virtual Crisis

Hello...? Is anyone there? Need some help over here...

Ugh, can't get a signal... This is bad. I'll run out of batteries soon...

Finally, someone shows up! My voicebox was about to explode from all the yelling I've been doing!

Do you think you can help me find someone from the Black Shores?

I got jumped by a bunch of TDs. Barely escaped with my nuts and bolts, but I think I did bust a drive shaft.

Oh, please do. It should be the one connecting my "feet."

Not good. I think I'm starting to lose them. Everything feels numb down there...

Ku, ku. All systems normal. I, KU-Cage, am back and ready to rock and roll!

Thank you! You're what they call a miracle worker over in Huanglong.

I was gathering environmental data for a combat simulator we're working on over at the Black Shores.

It uses data from all over Solaris-3, to simulate Crisis Trials that put the combat capabilities of its participants to the test under extreme conditions.

Like the TD outbreaks along the Jinzhou borders, or the mist swallowing up Penitent's End in Ragunna...

Of course, these are all just simulations, not actual crises. No need to worry.

Participants are free to make adjustments to the simulations and customize the difficulty to suit their preferences.

For those looking to spice things up, there'll be a selection of Stress Modules available to ramp up the difficulty and throw you in the most extreme scenarios imaginable.

All combat data collected will serve as benchmarks for future Black Shores field missions in crisis response.

As a safety precaution, this simulation is only available to certain Bloom Bearers and Consultants who meet the criteria.

...Hmm, it seems you are eligible to participate in the simulation.

I'm not sure. It just shows that your application was approved by someone with high authorization.

Feel free to conduct a simulation whenever you're ready.

...Hold on a sec. You're a Bloom Bearer. Can you bring me back to the Black Shores for repairs?

As a safety precaution, this simulation is only available to certain Bloom Bearers and Consultants who meet the criteria. But I can run an evaluation for you right now.

...There, you can now access the simulator directly from your Terminal.

Well, yes. Records show you are an elite Bloom Bearer of the Black Shores. It was an easy pass.

Feel free to conduct a simulation whenever you're ready.

Oh, my savior, we meet again. How has your experience with our Virtual Crisis simulation been so far?

Please give it a try when you find time. Your data could really make a difference in shaping future Black Shores missions.

Feel free to conduct a simulation whenever you're ready. I'll be making my way back to the Black Shores soon.
