Perlica, Supervisor of Endfield Industries, is one of the official spokespersons for Endfield. She is primarily responsible for overseeing and advancing the development and application of Protocol-Originium technology protocols, while also managing the operations of the Dijiang. It's been a long time since I last heard anyone question whether she deserves the title of Supervisor. She has silenced all doubts with tangible results, proving M3's words true: "This position exists because of Perlica. Don't get the order wrong." I still can hardly believe someone so young is capable of supporting the management of the entire Endfield Industries. Yet under her leadership, the future that Endfield strives toward has only grown clearer. However, she isn't flawless in handling everything. For instance, as a key figure in managing the Crisis Team, she shouldn't constantly risk herself on the front lines alongside the members. Even if she continues to dismiss my requests, I will still urge her to reassess the risks. — Martin Marvin Malen, Assistant, HR Division, Endfield Industries
Like many operators within Endfield Industries, Supervisor Perlica survived a disaster as a child and found refuge under the care of the Endministrator and Endfield Industries alongside other children who had lost their families. During her education and growth, she showed exceptional curiosity toward Techno-Protocol and gradually became involved in the foundational operations of Endfield Industries on Talos-II. In less than two years, her footsteps had reached cities both large and small across the planet, and her understanding of the threats we face far surpassed that of ordinary individuals. Her passion for Techno-Protocol led her to join the R&D Center, where she later played a key role in achieving major breakthroughs in the development and application of Techno-Protocol for Endfield Industries. Naturally, she was officially appointed as "Supervisor", taking the helm of the Dijiang—a colossal structure suspended in the artificial stationary orbit above Talos-II. DOCUMENT: A certain log that requires sufficient authority level Of course, Perlica's past was never as consistently fortunate as the public records might suggest. Over a decade ago, you rescued her while preparing for the expedition, offering her unwavering support at a time when she was still lost and fearful. Yet she could never have anticipated that the same crusade would soon turn her life upside down once more ... she lost you. In the years that followed, most of the children you saved alongside her moved on to new lives. This includes Lycia, whom she considered a sister, eventually left the Dijiang and chose to go her separate way. As friends gradually departed, the weight of responsibility on her shoulders grew heavier, and the development of Techno-Protocol repeatedly hit roadblocks... Yet she stubbornly remained on this most difficult path, winning us over through her actions. It's true that she received support from many along the way, but no one understands better than I do the effort she has poured in and the hardships she has endured. Go and have a chat with her. She's been waiting far too long. ——M3's Audio Memo
Other operators aboard the Dijiang often say that Supervisor Perlica seems to possess a kind of magical quality. As long as she's around, any problem finds its solution. So when I learned that I'd have the privilege of studying alongside her, I was so excited I couldn't sleep. But reality hit me hard. Unable to keep up with her intense workload and exacting standards, I seriously considered quitting along the way … yet I couldn't bring myself to give up such a precious opportunity. With the expected awakening of the Endministrator just around the corner, everyone is on edge—even Supervisor Perlica is no exception. Despite her schedule being completely packed, she still manages to squeeze in meetings with senior members from every department to ensure everything goes off without a hitch. But after each of those impromptu private meetings, she always comes out looking uneasy. Could it be that there are things even she can't handle? I can't help but blame myself for not being able to do more to help. She noticed how lost I felt and took the initiative to comfort me, even sharing some strangely flavored fin meatballs I'd never seen before. The taste was so strong it brought tears to my eyes, yet Supervisor Perlica just watched me with a satisfied smile … That day's worries were washed away along with my tears. In that moment, I suddenly realized that Supervisor Perlica … truly does have that kind of magic. —From the work log of a trainee operator, who is still applying for the opportunity to continue her apprenticeship under Supervisor Perlica. [Record That Has Not Been Successfully Deleted] "She went to see you too, didn't she, Krad? Asking how to get along with the Endministrator she cares about so much, right?" "Wouldn't expect anything less from Intel. You're not even on the Dijiang and you're still this well-informed. When she rushed into the training room to find me, I thought something had gone wrong. But then she asked me that dead seriously. Totally took me by surprise." "Guess I've gotten so used to her being the Supervisor that I almost forgot she isn't actually invincible. But I do love that awkward tone she takes when she messages me. Still just as adorable as when we were kids." "So, what advice did you give her?" "Same as you, nothing at all. The other old-timers did about the same too. We're all just waiting to see how this plays out." "But I bet she'll hide it perfectly when she sees the Endministrator again." "Don't worry, M3 will definitely be with her. You really think we won't get every last detail from the scene?" "Right. And remember, we promised her we'd keep this completely confidential. Especially from the Endministrator." "Relax, Krad. You know I am the last person to talk. Professional ethics and all. But honestly, it's almost a shame we won't get to see little Perlica pouting over this, isn't it?"
No matter where you run into Supervisor Perlica aboard the Dijiang, she always calmly greets you before immediately returning to her work. Some even joke that beneath her Liberi appearance, she might actually be a machine, perfectly executing the directives of some higher intelligence. While this kind of rumor spreads widely among newer operators, the Supervisor does not mind it at all. In fact, she occasionally plays along with the joke on purpose, lightening the mood and helping to ease the tension among the crew. According to the unofficial account by Martin Marvin Malen, after officially assuming the role of Supervisor, Perlica forced herself to adopt the most appropriate demeanor to fulfill her duties. But accumulated emotions and pressure always need an outlet. Even before the Endministrator's return, Perlica had already found a way to truly relax. "Have you heard of the 'Crankcase Creative Contest'? They say it originally started as a creative showdown between a certain Vampire genius and a mysterious mechanic. Seniors in the R&D Center brought this ancient Terra event to Endfield. Nowadays, the wild ideas that emerge from the CCC not only bring a lot of laughter to the operators, but also greatly drive our technological innovation. Yet very few know that the true force behind this event at Endfield is Supervisor Perlica. After all, she has never officially participated, and rarely voices her opinions. In truth, her reason for reviving this event was simply to create a platform where she could relieve her restless hands and test the strange ideas in her head." Even though I was banned from competing this year, I wouldn't call myself entirely absent. After all, I’m the one who named the award-winning "Blast-ma Roar"! When its creator came to me with the idea of "stuffing a gravity firearm into an acceleration engine", I knew it had potential. We ended up taking apart quite a few fine firearms to make it work, though… Huh? O-of course we didn't touch my dad's precious stockpile! —The reigning champion of multiple Crankcase Creative Contests, a prodigy in firearm engineering. This vehicle just took first place in the Neo Tsukushi Underground Heat Rally! What is it doing on the Dijiang?! —From a racing enthusiast. "Blast-ma Roar"? Owned by "Ilyich, the Suspect"? Perlica, which department did this newcomer come from? — Chen Qianyu
M3, file this document as an annex to "Zeroth Directive" under sealed status. It is not to be enforced under any circumstances. I hereby appoint Perlica as the "Signatory of Zeroth Directive". However, its activation must be entirely subject to her personal consent. If she ultimately decides to remain with Endfield Industries, you, as the executor, shall take her to meet the Founder. DOCUMENT: A certain log that requires sufficient authority level "Have you decided?" "Staying with Endfield Industries was never a question, M3." "Very well. Come with me. The Founder wishes to see you." ...... "So we finally meet, Supervisor Perlica." "Su ... Supervisor? Wait, your appearance—" "Our time is running short."
All Operators accounted for. The team is ready for the mission.
Endfield Crisis Team ready for action.
Transferring command authority now, Endministrator.
Lead us in our next step forward, Endministrator.
Time to come up with optimum tactics for wielding this weapon.
The fruit of the Automated Industry Complex.
Now I would just need to tune this ... to maximize the spoils of our victories.
We once fought on and never gave up ... for it is our wish to witness your return.
Your approval is much appreciated, Endministrator. I shall carry on with greater effort.
Though I am a little too young and untested, my mind is set. I shall fulfill my duties as Supervisor of Endfield Industries.
Once again you've placed your faith in me, Endministrator... I shall live up to your expectations.
I'm alright. Hearing your encouraging words just made me ... nostalgic about the past. It used to be the only reason I kept going. Now, I'm glad that I get to lead Endfield Industries, and stand by your side.
I have always believed that you will lead us upon the right path once more. Welcome back to Endfield Industries, Endministrator.
Prepped and ready to go.
Operator Perlica standing by.
An efficient assignment. I shall do my best.
How are you holding up, Endministrator?
Don't push yourself too hard, Endministrator. Keep yourself rested and well.
Since your awakening, Dijiang is becoming a livelier place with every passing day... And this makes me hopeful for the future, Endministrator.
You're looking much better, Endmin. Feel free to talk to me if there's anything you need.
Your needs are our top priority, Endmin. To see them met, I'll gladly set aside other tasks ... or ask Fiona to handle them.
The Central Ring is always this busy. It is a symbol of our obligations to this world. For more than a century, generations of Endfielders have devoted themselves to reviving the Civilization Band. Perhaps a day will come when Dijiang can finally land, and take a well-deserved rest within the haven we've built.
Many operators wouldn't spend too much time aboard Dijiang, especially our elites. They are sorely needed by the Civilization Band where danger lurks, and not by this orbital refuge. No matter, you will meet them soon. I shall make the proper introductions when the time comes.
When I last had a conversation like this, I was a girl barely half my current height. Times have changed. Dijiang received plenty of modifications and I grew up... But you, Endministrator... You remain the same as before.
I've requested for a set of supplies on your behalf, Endmin. I hope it can help. There are times when you overwork yourself. But do remember: it is alright to count on me and Endfield Industries.
I really appreciate this, Endmin. I shall treasure it well.
Endmin, don't miss your physical exams, and please avoid overworking yourself. Most importantly, never abuse your Originium Arts — Should other operators request your assistance to fix a Delta Bot again ... just turn them down!
When I was a little girl, I explored every corner of Dijiang and nicknamed every cabin. It was a time when I believed I would never see the surface again ... a time when I felt that Dijiang was my home. But to better support you, I left the ship and traveled across many places on Talos-II. Now, Dijiang looks more cramped than I remember ... but to me, it's still a vessel capable of holding the entirety of my memories.
Chen is actually the first operator I personally recruited since becoming Supervisor of Endfield Industries. She is also my best friend. I ran into her unexpectedly during a joint project with HAS... Hehe. She kept saying I always wore a stiff face, and only decided to help because she got too worried about me. Perhaps it was the truth. I was an untested Supervisor and there were so many things I had to pick up. I barely had time to focus on the people and things around me. Her smile and candid personality probably kept me from taking many wrong turns.
There's no need for concern, Endmin. Don't take Chen's teasing about me too seriously, of course I have off hours. What do I do for vacation? Hmm, mostly reading — literature and theoretical science, since they're relevant to upcoming work. It's not a break if I'm doing things for work? Well then ... I enjoy racing through frontier lands, alone on my bike. Endmin ... you're the only one who knows about this. The other operators will get worried if they learn about this secret. I know where they're coming from, but part of me yearns to hear the winds of this planet.
Are you awake, Endmin? You should turn in early for today if you're feeling tired. I caught a glimpse of your sleepy face just now... I've actually been looking at that same sleepy face of yours for a decade. Back then, I visited the Sarcophagus with the other children, just to see you hibernating peacefully. But as time passed, I was the only one left. I'd come by often — after I passed the operator trials, after I became the Supervisor... Don't feel bad about this, Endmin. I actually have plans to tell you everything once we restore your memories.
Endfield Industries is partnering with many organizations upon this land. The Accordatories, definitely. The TGCC is the best provider of modern logistics and supplies, and the UWST is a most reliable friend in the frontier. The HAS is always perched at the edge of the latest tech breakthrough, and we openly share our scientific findings with each other. Allies like these guarantee our ability to stand strong and firm in this cruel, new home.
Never met Fiona in person? Ah... Fiona's condition is quite ... special. She told me that she enjoys being on air and connected with everyone via our combat comms. And Fiona is rather worried that if you ... met her in person, you might start treating her very differently.
I look like a maestra in battle? I picked up the habit during combat training... They say Leithanians during the Age of Terra combined music with their innate gift for the Arts. My Arts instructor also happened to be a gifted musician. My aptitude for combat wasn't particularly outstanding, but I quickly mastered the techniques when I interpreted the flow of Arts as musical notations and tempos.
The Aurora is also visible from Dijiang. It is the anomalous flower that bloomed upon Talos-II. The Northern Veil is enveloped in Æther, making the Aurora look like a wall that blocks our way. A utopia for countless souls once existed on the other side of this wall... Though naught is left but devastation... and enemies that occupy the ruins.
What vendors should we add to Dijiang? Any ideas, Endmin? Oh, nothing special, just another regular survey from the Business Office. Dijiang doesn't have a large lounge area, and our resident crew isn't that big either... Auto-vendors work fine, but they do lack that human touch... What about a cozy café, Endmin? Would you grab a cup of coffee while you're on break?
Apologies, Endministrator... I know it's selfish, but I'd rather not bring up our past right now. I just hope you can find those memories on your own. This isn't a request from the Supervisor of Endfield Industries — It's from me.
Impressive, isn't she? Picture the Techno-Protocol as the Originium Network, and Dijiang would be the Protorig master server. She is also the embodiment of the Terran Civilization that traveled through the Cosmic Gate, as well as all the events that followed our crossing. Dijiang has endured war and chaos, and now she cruises in the sea of outer space. Perhaps a day will come when humanity frees itself from the shackles of gravity ... and walks amidst the stars as our ancestors have dreamed.
There was a time when I addressed M3 as my elder sister. But she put an end to that after I became an actual Endfield operator. Truth be told, she felt like a true sister of mine. Kind, gentle, optimistic, and skilled in everything. I don't see her on Dijiang much these days. I know she is carrying out a mission of her own... And if possible, I hope that Endfield can share her burden.
Very few people know that this distant world of Talos-II is actually where we all came from. And despite this knowledge, almost none could give up their nostalgia for Terra. Leaving Terra for Talos-II is akin to a babe who left its soft, comfortable cradle for their mother's embrace... But I felt the opposite. It was on Talos-II where I joined Endfield and met the Endministrator. Terra is now little more than a symbol of my mission.
I wasn't the only participant of the Zeroth Directive. But none of us knew the missions of the others. In the past, you always had plenty of preparations in place, even before you became aware of your situation. For this awakening, I've rehearsed executing the Zeroth Directive countless times... But when I met you again in person, all those words flowed out of me naturally with great ease.
Endfield Industries spent our recent years focusing on the Automated Industry Complex. The goals of the AIC are evident in its name, and I believe you have extensive first-hand experience with it. Needless to say, our obsession with the Techno-Protocol isn't just about this. Originium is information. It is the crystallized manifestation of every ephemeral idea. Its final embodiment ... will let us "manufacture" and "construct" more than just industrial products.
You founded the Crisis Team, Endmin. It is a special operations team that you've led in person. The Crisis Team was a team of elites famed throughout Talos-II. Team leadership was later transferred to the Founder and M3, but its purpose and function still remained the same. When I became Supervisor and took over the team's leadership, I sorely felt the pressure from commanding a team of heroes ... as well as their fiery passion as they threw themselves in battle for our selfless goal and ideal.
I heard M3 say that Endfield did not have a Supervisor back then. The Endministrator led the entire company, while M3, the Founder, and our elite operators provided support. We called this decision-making organization the Provenance. The Provenance managed the three major nexuses and has kept Endfield running till this day... Endfield was forced to change while you slept, but these changes kept us going ... and this was how I could stand by your side.
Something seems to warrant closer scrutiny...
We seem to have high value supplies nearby. Keep an eye out for those.
