Pragmata Part 14: Navigating the Garden Keeper and Lunar Mines

What is happening, y'all? Welcome back. So, let's enter the locked door and see what awaits us. We keep going down. We do. The regulator's close. Let's see some loot. That way and a little up. Looks like our regulator's down there? Only one way to find out. I don't really want to jump, but How else would I No, that cuz that looks like a door. I think I Yeah, I think these going to lose my Ah, screw it. Let's just jump. Let's jump. I think I like melt the tree and then I can get all the stuff I've missed. There it is. That's what we're here for.

We can use that to free Eight, right? Yeah. Hello, unregistered guests. Your presence here is a violation of cradle security protocol. Please stand by while we remove you from the premises. Why would you make something like that? He just wanted to be careful. Okay. I broke that up. Grab the regulator. Back up. Oh god, that hurts a bit. Oh yeah. Watch out. He's trying to free Eight.

He's wasting those mines. They're going to They're all over the place. Let's prove it out with the swing. Oh. Missiles. Leave him to me. He's trying to free Tail. Come here. Now we're talking. Damn, 6100. We got another shelter [__] yes. Now we can go help Eight. Yep. Let's go. I can finally move again. Thank you. Are you okay? No. Well, not yet, anyway. And there really is no more time to spare.

I must stop Edith. Hello. This is Edith. I have detected an unexpected loss of biomaterial in this sector. I will be sealing this area indefinitely. Have a wonderful day. You got to be kidding me. He's trying to trap us. We got to get out of here. But Eight. Diana. Give me your hand. I entrust this memory to you. With it, you will learn how to stop Edith. Take it and finish the task I started. Hey, what are you doing? We got to move.

We can do this. We are ready. Time's up. We're leaving. [panting] Okay, maybe Eight's not a bad guy. A new destination has been added to the tram line. The lunar mines are now accessible. The mines. The children yearn for the Once we gear up, we're leaving to deal with Edith. There's no way back. Shelter license key authenticated. New functions have been added to the cabin system.

Level three. Shelter level upgraded. Central terminals now loaded with shiny new stuff. REM replicator sigma now online and ready to serve. Eight said Edith's His mainframe is at the mines, right? Um I've been liking the hacking. I'm going to focus that still. Mod slot. Honestly, I don't know I mean, thrusters with four? Uh Maybe. What is this? Heat. Grab all these. Can I get all? No, I don't have enough for all strike.

Offensive mode, combust mode, strike mode. Okay. Let's get heat. Hacking nodes that makes enemies overheat more easily. That sounds nice. Just open them up to crits. I think that'll be really good on bosses. And then we have open nodes turn into offensive nodes. Passing through offensive nodes or gunfire increase the damage. Open nodes turn into strike nodes that deal more damage when hacking enemies that are already exposed. Gunfire will increase damage at the next hack. Once the hack is complete, enemies will close their armor. Hm. Open nodes turn into heat modes.

Gunfire or passing through boosts heat gauge. Okay. So, this increases damage of the next hack. I mean, these two seem really similar. Open nodes will turn into strike nodes that deal more damage. Open nodes turns into offensive nodes when hacking enemies that are exposed. Passing through the nodes or gunfire increases damage of hack. Gunfire will increase the damage of next hack, but you can see it's going up as it passes through as well. I'll try it out.

Bust mode sounds interesting, but I'm not sure how I feel about strike mode versus offense mode. It sounds very similar. We've procured a new stamp book. Word. Please new training sets. Until next, we meet to finish getting the [__] that I did not get. All right. try that out. Throw those on. I didn't get either of the things in the cultivation lab. And there's the stuff in the geoscience lab still.

Um let's do this one first. About time we hit those mines. Oh, you're both. Okay. So, those are out of reach. We need a security zone to get them. Okay. Um how do I get back to where I came from then? Yeah, it was that door that I passed through. I was still shelter and work. I guess it'll just cost less for me to spam that. Red zone. Cultivation lab. I'll probably get another red key off the bingo board to go back and grab that.

All right. Um so, it's over there. One's over there, one's over there. Okay. Yeah. READY TO COME AGAIN? Need to go to like a firing range and just test [__] That does seem I mean, those hacks I just did seemed quite strong, honestly. All sectors of the terrordome are fully operational. Scheduling of the new areas processing on schedule. Routine tasks handled by bots. Human cost delays have been eliminated. Smooth sailing. System inspection noticed an unrecognised admin level update to Itis, possibly authorized by Earth H Q. Follow up on the next routine briefing. admin access level on Itis?

Is that even possible? I bet there's a bunch of security to stop it. Well, like anyone can get past all that. It's like a cabin that was getting [__] with. All right. So, we got that one. The other one is still 60 m that way. Oh, what is the way over to you? You're you're another floor down, I think. I'm not entirely sure. Honestly, they seem like the functionality of them seems both similar. Get ready. Look out This might have just been locked before. over to the limb lab. That's right. But I'm a little worried. Why is that?

Weren't you angling to get into basic limnological research? I'm happy about the reassignment, but I'm worried I might struggle to keep up. Oh, and that with Dr. Higgins. I've memorized all the papers, but some of the stuff he comes up with on the fly. I wouldn't worry too much. You're not the first researcher to have trouble keeping up with the good doctor. Dr. Higgins is a very special man. Just try to go into it ready to learn. Dr. Higgins is the guy that they're trying to do all the research about.

All right, so you were behind red room due to our cultivation lab. Red limb. Okay. Cool. So with that, we are set and ready to go. Now I just got to find a fast travel get on out of here. Remember this was a fight. I might have to get through the fight first. No. Good. Tell me what's cooked up some lightning-controlling pants over there. Doesn't matter to me. Always sunny skies when I go out. You can control the weather, too? Nah. I guess I'm just lucky. Although, I always end up in the wrong place at the wrong time. That doesn't sound lucky to me.

Hey, I'm still standing, aren't I? I went this way. Bro, I'm so lost. Destroyed limb, we got that elevator there. Okay. And wait, 22 minutes? I think we can clear all the training modules. And combust sounds potentially really fun. Cuz I mean, in terms of raw damage, I mean, some of the biggest bursts I see are from the overheat criticals. Nothing. So, Our stamp board selection I think doing that along with heat will probably work incredibly well. Bingo, we get drain. Low generator tactical unit. Each shot adds an active hacking node. The more nodes you pass through, bro.

Using that and then heat, I could probably do like an instant heat up. Ooh, I like that suit a lot, too. Locked section. Search the warehouse red zone in the lumen mines to unlock. I'll need another key cuz I'll want to have one for sure for that. All right, what do we got? Along the boxes, unshieldable mouse trap locksmith. All right, let's just try and go through all of them. Uh shockwave and grip, okay. No! Oh, man, for a second I almost fell. I was like, that would have sucked. This is about to be an easy triple.

Abin coins, lunar filament. The training modules, dude, you get so many fat upgrades out of these. Unshieldable. Defeat an executor in 45 seconds. Okay. Don't let enemies use the antenna, complete in 30 seconds. So we got shockwave and that, okay. Okay, I can do this. I just got to get some good hacks off, that's all. Defeat enemies with weapons recycler. Defeat all with recycler. Okay. Target area in 23 seconds. Stay within 19 15 seconds. [__] what are we doing?

15-second puzzle? Oh, it's it's hacking [__] Okay. Okay, okay. I can fast as [__] at hacking. Let's go. No! Okay, hold up. Thought I had to push the button. I would have just spammed straight through. Oh, I actually did have to hit the button. I guess I just mashed my way through hitting the button. Way faster that time anyway, so. Target area storage boxes, don't get hit. Easy enough. Oh, we got to avoid lasers and [__] Okay.

Be careful. Something's aiming at us. Oh boy, where is the uh Oh god. Okay, get it up. Come on, let's go. And then the final storage box is there. Okay. All right. So I got to freeze these guys up. That's that's the gimmick here. As you freeze them, and you just run through while freezing them. Oh, I'm having like a brain fart moment here. Oh, wait. No, it's a Okay, so I just got to wait a second for that platform.

Hang on a second. All right, so I looked I just jumped across with a little boost the first attempt and I don't know why it feels like I'm moving slower this time. Damn. I'm I went from like almost clearing it to just [__] fumble city. [__] Okay. So, I need to load up. Why aren't you moving faster? It's like a sweet spot you got to stand on that's so cheeks. All right, this one's actually kind of tricky. Let me So, there's a sweet spot. I was standing on that the first time.

What? Bro, what the [__] This is buggy, honestly. I'm going to send this over to them cuz I don't know why it's like sometimes this is it's it's a moving. Does it only move when they're frozen, maybe? Why are you so slow to start moving cuz that's And then it speeds up, but it's like, bro. Oh, god damn it, dude. This one's [__] with me cuz it's not consistent like the other puzzles. I can't figure out how to make this [__] be consistent.

Something's eating at us. Be careful. Yeah, I don't know why it's doing this. This one's supposed to be out. I might just wrap up the episode and then just keep doing this until it [__] works, right? Cuz like right now it's just not it's like, "Oh, you want me to move?" Like, yes, I want you to [__] move. What do you think? I think this is extra frustrating cuz the last puzzle I did just, you know just like clearing puzzles fast as [__] Come on, let's go. Move. Something's eating at us. Oh my god. You know what? Let me just um Let me just wrap up. I'll just No, you know what? Fine. One more try.

I think this one is just over frustrating me and I need to just take a break. Move, Hugh. This is this really pissing me off cuz it's just not [__] moving. If I hit it before they hit me. Oh my god, I did. Jesus. I shot in the ass, too, right at the end there. Two more. [__] do them. Four enemies with friendly fire. Okay. It's a lot of hack send backs. I can do that. I owe you one, Diana. No problem. Jump, Hugh. Jump. Leave this to me.

This is mine. Sentry gun. Yeah. Who's this? Who's shooting at me? Ooh, one. Come on. Ah. Damn it, missed the timer by like a second. Uh 100 seconds? I know, yeah, it's 0.1 seconds. All right. Well, now that I don't need to worry about the defeat four with friendly fire, we can do this much faster. Be careful. Sentry gun. That's better than the first time anyway. I don't see any I don't see the last uh Where's the final box at?

Nice. So, I was at 0.21 from failing that. I'll take it. All right. Now, with the seven stamps we have unlocked, we'll get a red gate key. And honestly, I could have just like I probably could have waited and then on the red zone that I missed and I could have had a whole episode of just doing all the side stuff, doing this, doing the red zones. Oh, you have quite the eye organ. I don't think I'd go for that personally. Satisfaction level maximum. Glad we could be of assistance. And then since we got a fresh key, Oh, was it Terra Zone Cultivation Lab?

Let's do it. I got the red key, I might as well do this. Yeah, it was this way right here. We enter and we go to the left. I think that was it. Wasn't it? No, hang on. In the notes I just wrote it was the Cultivation Lab. Remember being like right next to the fast travel. Where are you? Show me. Come here. Yeah, [__] [__] [__] [__] [__] Oh, no, not today. No. Oh, you're not Diana, God, these things suck. Got to heal.

I owe you one, Diana. No problem. Yeah, no. God damn it. Get off of my ass. Oh, that stressful encounter, dude. Was that three, four of them? Yes. And storage expander. I think that Is that mod slot? Upper limit of the hacking gauge. I like that, too. Cuz that means I could keep uh could keep overload um ready to go and at the same time also have a some in the tank for auto hack. All right. So, the only thing left is two spots that had red limb protecting the loot, I believe. Yes, the office space red limb and then it's considered the same thing, but red limb there.

Okay. Let's grab all of our upgrades. Mod slot for sure. Uh do I really need more thrusters? [__] it. What's a little bit of limb, right? Still can't tell the difference between these, but I think I like combust more. Oh, yeah. What was that? Was that an upgrade to Oh, it is an upgrade to drone hive. [__] Should have read that before. I'm definitely going to use one for that. Probably that and charge pierce. So, we'll get up to 3,500. Max out both of those. And then with the 16 I'm sitting on Hacking already maxed. That's That's [__] funny.

All right. We are good. Closing out here. Going into the mines in the next part.
