Find the missing Job Instructor

We got word that the mad scientist Gelimer was creating a new weapon for the Black Wings. Brighton's mission was to investigate that weapon.

I know for sure that Brighton successfully entered the Mine after disguising himself as a Black Wing. He even got into the Laboratory where the new weapon is being developed. But we lost all contact with him shortly after that.

We never thought someone as skilled as Brighton could disappear like he did. But we can't sit here and do nothing! We must find him. That's where you come in...

I won't lie to you. This mission won't be easy. It could even cost you your very life... But I think you're the only one who can rescue Brighton.

What I just gave you is a Hideout Return Scroll that allows you to return to our Underground Base. It's valuable and we don't hand them out often, but this is an emergency. Find Brighton and use this to return to us.

Like Brighton, you should disguise yourself as a Black Wing to enter the Mine and approach Gelimer to find out which lab the weapon's being developed in. Once there, you should be able to track down Brighton... Good luck!

(If you accept, you'll travel to the quest map automatically.)

Yes, I understand your fear. If even Brighton, your own job instructor, couldn't finish the mission... But I have confidence in you!

I must be dreaming to think I'd see a friendly face in a cesspit like this. Someone pinch me and wake me up.

(You shrug and pinch him.)

Ouch! [Name]? Is it really you? I have never been so glad to see you in my life!

*cough* *cough* *huff* *huff* W-wait a minute. Let me catch my breath.

Haven't you gone to the mine to find Brighton yet? I can explain it again if you're confused about the plan.

* If you fail to proceed with the quest, forfeit and start over.
