Quest/Mission Items Ashes of Karen Wong Mission Chain
DialogJessica Hammersmark, Boreas Are you the one that answered my ad in the mission terminal?
Choices: - Yes.
- I thought you were someone else, sorry.
On choosing 'Yes.': You understand that the mission is very dangerous? It's robot controlled territory you are heading into. I have tried to get there myself but without success.
- I can do it. But may I ask why? There is nothing there but robots and lava?
Of course you may ask. In fact I require you to know why I lay this task upon you. You are to deliver an urn.
Yes. An urn with the ashes of my wife Karen Wong. Her last wish was to have her ashes spread into the volcano and I have tired to fulfil it. I can't do it alone and now I need your help.
- But, how come she is dead? Why did she not restream into a new body?
For some reason the restreaming technology did not work. She died of radiation poisoning and the doctors... well they thought that... that the radiation must have damaged her cells or something. They could not save her.
Choices: - But restreaming is said to be safe no matter what.
- Why the volcano, if I might ask?
If you choose 'But restreaming is said to be safe no matter what.': That's what we have always been told. I think that even the pople that made the restreaming technology are shocked. They are trying to cover it up, afraid of it getting out. But my Karen is gone now. All that remains are the memories of her.
Choices: - May I ask why she wanted her ashes spread into the volcano?
- I will deliver her ashes and spread them into the volcano.
If you choose 'May I ask why she wanted her ashes spread into the volcano?' That was her work. She was a geologist with a passion for volcanos. She wrote the book about Olympos Mons, the huge volcano on Mars, and we have travelled around Calypso as well as Earth to study them closer. She always wanted to visit Cyclops, but the robot presence was always too high. And now... I hope she will rest there. In peace.
Choices: - I am still worried about the restreaming. We have always been told that it never fails.
- I will deliver her ashes and spread them into the volcano.
If you choose 'I will deliver her ashes and spread them into the volcano.': Thank you. Understand this. I am handing you the thing that is most precious to me. I will ask you to treat it with respect and guard it well. In this urn filled with ash dwells the whole history of a person. A descendant to the first men and women of Earth. My wife, our sons' mother. So I ask you to tread lightly with her.
Choices: - This urn is too much of a responsibility. I cannot take it. You must find someone more worthy and capable of the task.
- I will treat it with respect.
On arriving at the Stone Pillar: You locate a good spot for the remains and as you open the urn the ash is carried by the wind like a grey mist to then land on the molten lava. Karen Wong is now one with Calypso.
On returning to Jessica Hammersmark, Boreas: Thank you. Karen's last wish is fulfilled. May she be at peace wherever she is. Here, it's not much, but it's what I have.
Choices:' - Thank you.
- You don't need to pay me for this.
If you choose 'Thank you", receive 100 Nova Frangments. If you choose 'You don't need to pay me for this': You are too kind. I will remember that. It is good that there are people in this world that do things for others for nothing but good will.
Choices: - Will you be all right?
- I must be going. Hope to see you under happier circumstances.
If you choose 'Will you be all right?': I'll manage. I have to be strong. I have our sons to take care of now. Again, thank you for your help.
- You're welcome! Good luck!
If you select Jessica Hammersmith AFTER the mission is complete, there is further dialog: Hello again, my friend. I can't thank you enough for what you did for me... for us.
- Don't mention it. How's the kids?
They're... adapting. Mourning, of course, but they'll cope.
Choices: - Good to hear. Well, good luck.
- Is there anything I can do to help?
If you choose 'Is there anything I can do to help?' Really, you've done enough. I can't ask for more.
Choices: - Please give me a call if there's anything you need.
- Well, I'll be off then.
If you choose 'Please give me a call if there's anything you need.': I will. Thanks for dropping by.
- Give my regards to the kids
