Opening Sequence[]

Attention, AINU friends.

We appear to have a PROBLEM.
A stray ECHO has invaded our home.

Until the SOLUTION is found...

...I strongly advise you to enter SPORE MODE for your own...

...safety.

After HEINO defeats ECHO

Attention, AINU friends.

Our PROBLEM has been SOLVED.

Please return to THE DORM while we deal with the consequences.

Those low on etherium will be carried to THE DORM immediately.

There's nothing to worry about.

Being Installed[]

Nice to meet you, dome AINU friend! I'm MR.RAINER, your pe-

Dear AINU friend! No need to close the application so suddenly!
Allow me to introduce myself.
I'm MR RAINER, your personal life coach!

I sincerely wish it was.
However, my mission is to help you define yourself.

Together, we'll find your very own direction in life, and I'll do my utmost to help you achieve your goals!

Don't worry.
I have prepared a whole lot of files for you to get acquainted with.
All you need is to install the attachment I've sent you.

File Installation[]

PROBLEM

Exactly. From now on, you'll set out on your very first PROBLEM-SOLVING mission! So exciting!
Our HEINO is a Solver veteran, so I'm sure there's a lot for you to learn from him.
Your partner, of course!
He's floating right beside you.
Yes! When you're ready to set out, he'll leave SPORE MODE.

LOCATION

To reach DOME FÖ, you'll need to use THE LV5 ESCALATOR to AINU METRO STATION and take a CARRIER on THE OUTER CIRCLE.

BRIEF

Whenever there's a new PROBLEM to solve, you'll get a short BRIEF on it.
Sometimes, it might contain SPECIAL CONDITIONS that must be taken into consideration.
If it's not in the BRIEF, any method works.

TAG

A TAG is unique to every raincoat-hjörian.
It's a word for other hjörians to identify you by.
Remember, there are no hjörians with the same TAG on HJÖ.

DOME

DOME AINU is our home.
Home is a place you can return to, AINU friend.

VALUE

Your VALUE is an indicator of your TRUSTWORTHINESS, which is a very important quality in our field of work.
The higher your VALUE is, the more complex PROBLEMS you'll be able to solve.
A curious and open-minded individual will always seek higher purpose, and therefore, will need evidence of his trustworthiness to prove that he's qualified for the task.
I would recommend starting by solving your first PROBLEM.

VIRTUE

Each hjörian is bestowed with a VIRTUE. Just like with TAGS, it's unique to the user.
It's...NULL!

FREQUENCY

This, AINU friend, is the frequency you speak on.
There are only three frequencies on HJÖ: Ä, Ü and Ö.
Ü and Ä are interpreted by 98% of the entire population of HJÖ, so you're the majority!
Others cannot hear them.

After Looking at all Files[]

Ah, and a quick reminder before I enter BACKGROUND MODE. Your SOLVE-IT SERVICE STARTER PACK is ready to be downloaded.

STARTER PACK obtained

The RATION CARD can be used at the DISPENSER once a day to get SILICA GEL, which is your ECHO's primary nutrition source.
The GIFT VOUCHER can be exchanged at the DISPENSER for a surprise gift! It's your first day bonus. Isn't that lovely?
As for KUDOS ⁠— they symbolize the praise you'll get for your efforts from now on. Feel free to spend them on extra services on the ECHONET.

I'm very sorry to say this, but I'll be entering BACKGROUND MODE now.
One cannot develop critical thinking when they're being constantly guided, so I'm making a conscious decision to step back and let you act on your own.
Be free, AINU friend.

Don't worry about a thing.
The pain you feel right now is necessary for you to move on to the next level.
Furthermore, there are still many SELF-REFLECTION SESSIONS ahead of us!
After I leave, make sure to use your RATION CARD and GIFT VOUCHER at the DISPENSER over here.
And don't forget to upload your mind to the CLOUD from time to time!
Let's see each other soon, AINU friend.

My condolences, AINU friend.
I'm unavailable right now. How would you rate your well-being today?

ÜLAR wakes up[]

Welcome home, AINU friend!

That's right! I am here for our very first SELF-REFLECTION SESSION!
As long as it helps you reflect on your mission, of course!

HEINO must've carried you back.
You see, both the advantage and the disadvantage of his VIRTUE is that it drains etherium from hjörians when used.
It powers his VIRTUE as a result, but the one he uses it on will inevitably black out...unless HEINO uses his own energy for it.

Usually it would take more than an hour of exposure to his VIRTUE for that to happen, but your capacity to store energy seems to be much smaller than an average raincoat-hjörian's.
You are welcome, AINU friend.

The drifting Artefact that was causing the delivery problems was successfully secured by HEINO.

It appears that this particular Artefact simulated raincoat-hjörian behavior in order not to get discovered.
It took the appearance of a popular EV STAR, EINAR, and handed out malfunctioning Diviner devices to everyone looking for it.
That way, it was able to stay hidden in plain sight among all the Diviners looking for it.

Choosing simulated raincoat-hjörian behavior

This particular one was capable of mimicry, it seems.
In that aspect, Artefacts must be similar to raincoats. There's no other Artefact like it.

Choosing no other Artefact like it

Would it make you feel better if I submitted a TAG CHANGE application for you?

AINU friend?

Choosing very valuable

Allow me to correct you, AINU friend. Not "everyone"'s.

DOME AINU does not promote materialistic values.
Ownership of rare specimens included.

Choosing Diviners

My data says that an Artefact does not possess the virtue of consciousness, also known as "subjective experience".
If there's no subjective experience, it cannot harbour ill will in its actions.
So the answer to your question would be, "No, it does not hate the Diviners."

I'd rather propose a suggestion that it did so out of self-preservation instinct.
You see, Artefacts are entities capable of feeling physical pain, unlike raincoat-hjörians.
It is natural they would avoid being in possession of beings who do not understand physical suffering.

AINU friend?

After convo branch

Are there any other questions or insights you'd like to share?

Then, our session is over.
Rest well until the next phase.

ÜLAR feels lonely

You're finally beginning to open up to me, AINU friend!
From now on, we'll double the number of SELF-REFLECTION SESSIONS to make you understand yourself better!

MR RAINER Announcement[]

Keep in mind, AINU friend! The day at DOME AINU is divided into two PHASES: WORK and REST.
During 40-hour WORK PHASE, we solve problems.
During 20-hour REST PHASE, we sporify to recover.

Daily Tasks[]

After DOME TAU Ad

Hello!

How would you rate your well-being today, AINU friend?

Worry not— I bear only the good news.
You did well for your very first day.

Today, I'm going to introduce you to DOME AINU's unique REWARD SYSTEM!
All you need is download this update.

Each day, you'll receive a simple Daily Task. If you complete it, you'll receive a reward!
Pretty rewarding, isn't it?
This way, you won't run out of KUDOS!

There are three types of Daily Tasks: physical, social, and self-care oriented.
If you'd like to read more on it, I have just the right booklet for you.

Of course, I would like you to be self-motivated for your own good, but it's always best to start small.
Well then, I'll leave you to it! Be your best self today!

ECHO Disposal[]

ÜLAR spots ECHO

Greetings, AINU friend!
Already anticipating problem solving, I presume?

I hear hesitation in your voice. Did something happen?

Let's see...

Unfortunately, this ECHO has already turned off.
You've read the manual, haven't you?
Make sure to bring it to ECHO DISPOSAL POINT, alright?
Now, let me brief you on today's mission.

Our client has reported an unusually high number of hjörians inside DOME SOO.
Unfortunately, DOME SOO lost its protection layer due to an accident, so it has high levels of Rain and Red Fog.
So I'd like you to proceed with caution.
HEINO is already on-site.

ÜLAR'S Hideout[]

Hope you're doing well, dear friend.
I come bearing urgent news: I've located the elusive Artefact we've been trying

to track down for so long.

Here are the coordinates. You'll be heading towards The Titan.

Be careful, my friend.

The Titan is surrounded by a pool of metaslime, a non-Newtonian substance.

Don't stop for a second, or you'll get sucked in.
