The Missing Instructor

We got word that the mad scientist ゲリーメル was creating a new weapon for the Black Wings. イレックス's mission was to investigate that weapon.

I know for sure that イレックス was able to enter the Mine by disguising himself as a Black Wing. He even made it 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 イレックス could vanish the way he did... 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 our best bet at saving イレックス.

This アジト帰還の書 will allow you to return directly to our Underground Base in the blink of an eye. It's valuable because we don't have many or hand them out often, but this is an emergency. Find イレックス and use this to return to us.

Like イレックス, you should disguise yourself as a Black Wing to enter the Mine and approach ゲリーメル to find out which lab the weapon's being developed in. Once there, you should be able to track down イレックス... Good luck!

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

I understand your fear. If even イレックス, your own job instructor, couldn't finish the mission... But I have confidence in you! You've got to reconsider.

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

*cough* Let me catch my breath.

Haven't you gone to the mine to find イレックス 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.
