Oh, excuse me. Nice to meet you. Oh,
0:44
wait. We've met before at this very
0:47
facility. In fact, you might remember my
0:50
hand at least. How's our mutual friend
0:53
doing? Hardman and I have been working
0:56
together to study water samples
0:58
collected on the beach. So, you actually
1:01
managed to jump here from the miracle
1:03
spring. I knew it. I'd always theorized
1:07
the existence of incredibly strong
1:09
overlaps between this world and the
1:11
beach. Places where a special kind of
1:13
hotspring would emerge through the tar
1:15
currents, similar to the plate gates,
1:18
but on a smaller scale. In principle, a
1:20
person could use one to ride the
1:22
currents within the earth and jump to
1:24
other connected springs just like you
1:26
did. In fact, I dug that spring you used
1:29
in order to test this theory. And now I
1:32
want to confirm
1:39
if it holds true for different
1:40
locations. I'd love it if you were able
1:43
to help, Sam. I'll add the necessary
1:45
functions to your PCC.
2:57
Just so you know, I've added hotspring
2:59
digger functions to the level two PCC.
3:02
You now have the ability to identify a
3:04
suitable location and commence
3:06
excavation. Once a hot spring has been
3:08
completed. Feel free to take a dip and
3:11
relax. I should mention that these
3:14
springs are invaluable for my beachwater
3:16
research. As a hydraologist, they're a
3:18
critical resource. So, if I may ask Sam,
3:22
would you be willing to use my digger to
3:24
find and excavate hot springs throughout
3:26
the continent? Please report back to me
3:28
if you do dig any. I'll make sure to
3:31
reward you for your efforts.
3:34
The waters of the beach in our world
3:37
circulate within the same system. As a
3:39
hydraologist, I study this system. The
3:42
hot springs of the Australian continent
3:45
are the product of underground beach
3:46
water that has been heated by darks. But
3:49
there's more to it than that. A
3:52
space-time phenomenon similar to plank
3:54
gates has been observed at the points
3:56
where hot springs emerge. In other
3:59
words, it seems to be possible to jump
4:01
between hot springs linked via the dark
4:03
currents. I had been meaning to test
4:06
this theory, but then you took the
4:08
initiative and proved the truth for me.
4:11
From what I saw earlier, it seems a
4:13
teleportation process has no adverse
4:16
effect on you. But just remember that
4:19
you won't be able to take all types of
4:21
cargo when you jump. Said cargo will be
4:24
left behind at the hot spring you jump
4:26
from. It should be automatically stored
4:28
in the digger's private locker, though.
4:30
Make sure that you don't forget about it
4:32
afterwards.
4:36
Once you've readed your level two PCC
4:38
and selected the digger, listen for
4:40
pulses alerting you to underground water
4:43
sources nearby. Pulses become more
4:46
frequent as you move closer to a source,
4:48
so wait until the interval between them
4:50
is as short as possible before finally
4:52
picking a spot to dig. Once you commence
4:55
construction, the process is automated.
4:58
All you need to do is wait for the hot
5:00
spring to percolate to the surface. The
5:03
digger will also remove any dangerous
5:04
contaminants from the water. This means
5:07
that as soon as the hot spring is ready,
5:09
you can wade right in. Sources can be
5:12
found everywhere, but depending on the
5:14
location, the resulting spring will have
5:16
different properties. I'm also thinking
5:18
of adding a feature that will let you
5:20
customize aspects of the springs you
5:22
dig. Perhaps that will give you
5:24
something to look forward to as well.
5:31
Were you at all interested in digging
5:33
hot springs? If so, there's a promising
5:36
site I've identified. It's to the
5:39
northwest of here. My analysis suggests
5:41
that a potential source should be
5:43
present in that vicinity. I'll post a
5:45
formal aid request shortly. So, consider
5:47
heading in that direction and testing
5:49
out the hotring digger. If you do end up
5:52
digging one, don't forget to return and
5:54
inform me of your accomplishment. In
5:57
your own time, of course. I'm not
5:59
planning on going anywhere for the
6:01
foreseeable future.
6:05
Order accepted. Thank you.
6:23
Yeah, I feel
6:31
I feel reborn.
