Dialogue and Mail

Introduction

Upon speaking to Zeki on your plot.

Zeki

Uh, hey.

So, this is kinda awkward. You know how I've been helping Najuma with her inventions?

Well, I asked her the other day why she's so set on this mines thing. She's got a bring future ahead of her with her inventions, after all.

No reason to be wandering around in the dark. S'a waste of her talents.

She wouldn't give me a straight answer. But that's when I remembered where I've seen her design before.

It's one of her mom's prototypes.

It was years ago, so I didn't realize at first. But that's definitely a Leta original.

You get what I'm sayin', right? Kid loses her mom and becomes weirdly obsessed with going into the mines?

The mines where she lost said mom?

Something tells me those two things aren't a coincidence.

Player

I had a feeling something was up...

Zeki

You better go talk to her. This is way outta my paygrade, and I don't think she's talking much to her dad either.

Player

Maybe she just thinks mines are cool.

Zeki

Heh... wait. You're serious?

Oh, that's good. You should be a comedian, pal. Man, I needed that.

I think you'd better go talk to her. This is way outta my paygrade, and I don't think shes' talking much to her dad either.

Progression

Upon speaking to Najuma while she's in her room.

Player

I wanted to talk to you about the mines.

Najuma

Yeah? I’m super close to finishing the design, and then dad will have to let me in.

Player

Why are you so obsessed with them?

Najuma

I’m not obsessed. This is my Path, you know. I’ll be going into them sooner or later!

Player

You're definitely obsessed.

Najuma

...Fine, so maybe I am a little bit!

It's my fault dad's struggling so much. Why can't I try and help him out?

Player

You're still a kid.

Najuma

I don't have time to be a kid! It's my fault dad's struggling so much.

Player

I’m just worried about you...

Najuma

There’s nothing to worry about, I’m not a little kid!

Besides, who else is going to help my dad? It’s my fault he’s struggling so much!

Why can't I try and help him out?

Player

What do you mean, your fault?

Najuma

...

If it weren’t for me, mom would still be here. Dad wouldn’t have to do everything on his own.

Player

There's no way that's your fault.

Najuma

It is. Trust me.

Player

Why would you say that?

Najuma

Because it's true!

When I was like five, I ran away in the middle of the night. I don’t remember why... some dumb fight with my mom.

I decided I’d go and live in the mines. But I got lost in the dark. My mom found me a few hours later.

That’s when the accident happened. The supports started crumbling, walls caving in...

Mom grabbed me and threw me to safety. A boulder still caught me by my leg, but mom...

She was trapped behind the rubble.

When dad found us, he freed me first. Then he spent all night with people from Kilima trying to clear the cave-in.

By the time they got through...

Well. Sometimes gas builds up in the mines. Especially if there’s bad ventilation. Or a cave-in.

If she hadn’t followed me... if I hadn’t run away...

Player

I'm so sorry.

Najuma

It's okay.

Well, it's not. But it's been a long time since the accident

But that’s why I have to do this. With my suit, I’ll be safe. I can go deeper into the mines, and maybe find some new veins.

Player

That definitely wasn't your fault.

Najuma

You don’t have to lie to me, (Player). I’m old enough to handle the truth.

That’s why I have to do this. With my suit, I’ll be safe. I can go deeper into the mines, and maybe find some new veins.

Player

You were just a kid!

Najuma

So? It doesn't matter how old I was. I ran away, and she paid the price.

That's why I have to do this. With my suit, I'll be safe. I can go deeper into the mines, and maybe find some new veins.

Player

It sounds like it was an accident.

Najuma

An accident I caused. If I hadn't ran in there...

That’s why I have to do this. With my suit, I’ll be safe. I can go deeper into the mines, and maybe find some new veins.

It’s too dangerous for Dad to go, so I will.

...Thank you for coming to talk to me. It means a lot, really. But I’d better get back to work.

Upon speaking to Hodari at your plot

Hodari

I need your help.

Heard you’ve been talking to Najuma. Which is good, because she sure ain’t talkin’ to me.

Don’t get me wrong, I ain’t mad. In fact, m’glad someone’s looking out for her.

But that someone should be me. I just...

Every time I try to talk to her, somethin’ goes wrong. I say th’wrong thing, she gets mad, and we both just leave upset.

Player

Have you tried NOT doing that?

Hodari

Now why didn't I think'a that?

Player

I'm not sure how I can help...

Hodari

Ain't your job to fix things... but I have an idea.

Player

She doesn't listen to me, either.

Hodari

I ain't asking you to talk to her. This one's on me.

Player

I guess I could try again.

Hodari

I ain’t asking you to talk to her. This one’s on me.

I want to help her. With her suit.

Player

Say what now?

Hodari

Y’heard me. I tried playin’ the stern father, and it got me nowhere.

It’s time I met her on her level instead.

Player

What about the mines?

Hodari

Oh, I have no plans on lettin' her into those mines... but the suit's harmless.

It's time I met her on her terms, not mine.

Th’problem is… I ain’t exactly good at all this mechanical... stuff.

That was Leta and Najuma’s thing.

So maybe what she needs right now is a little bit of her mom.

I’ve got Leta’s old notebook. It’s full of her blueprints, but some of the pages are ripped out.

If you can help me find the missing ones.. well. I know it would mean a lot to Najuma, if we could give her the full set.

Player

Any idea where to start?

Hodari

There’s a couple spots I knew she used to go and sketch at.

Can ask Zeki, too, if he knows where any of them might be.

An’ you might want to check with the chapaas. Once or twice I remember her complaining about them stealing her notebook.

I’d better get going. If you find those blueprints, let me know, alright? Be nice, to see Najuma smile again.

Optional: speak to Hodari without all five blueprints.

Player

Any ideas on the blueprints?

Hodari

Try huntin’ down some chapaas. Those critters steal all sorts of things.

Upon speaking to Zeki

Player

Do you have any of Leta’s old designs?

Zeki

Hmmm... think I got something lyin’ around here...

Got it! We were workin’ on these short-range communicators together. Still have the old blueprints.

What do ya want with ‘em?

Player

They're for Najuma.

Zeki

Ahh, I see what you’re doin’ here! Smart, very smart.

Here, take ‘em. I’m not gonna keep a girl from her birthright, after all.

Conclusion

Upon returning to Hodari

Player

I found the blueprints!

Hodari

Thanks. S’time I got somethin’ right.

Just… hope it ain’t too late.

Post-Quest

Letter from Najuma

Dear (Player),
My dad told me you helped him find all my mom’s old blueprints. I don’t know if I really deserve them… but I’ll treasure them anyways.

I wanted to thank you, so I put one of her designs together, and included a copy of the blueprint in case you want to make more. I call this one “Chapaabot”, but I hope you can call him a friend. Especially since you’ve been such a good one to me!

Najuma

Notes

• Najuma can be spoken to in her room at any time to continue this quest.
