Bowen: Alright, Matto. We've wasted enough of our time figuring out this lock, but luckily we can waste yours instead now that you're here. From the looks of it, this lock's way beyond ancient. Practically centuries before the Ruins have even came into existance. With you being from another universe, we were wondering if you'd be able to tell us the origins of this frustratingly advanced lock.
Rico: I highly doubt it, Bowen. I assume from his looks that he's from a time where genetic evolution has completely passed us by... And if our museums never mentioned anything like this, surely his wouldn't either...

Igiaro: Here...there, and...FINISHED! ...I just went left instead of right, and there was the picture of an old circuit under some real and fake treasure chests. And I have a photographic memory...I'm guessing nobody ever went that way. I wonder why?

*door opens*
Bowen: I'm guessing... Mimics. Definitely because of the possibility of most of those Chests being Mimics. A common and rational fear among us Diggers.
Rico: C'mon, let's go! There are no Reavers on my Tracker, and I'm sure this strong signal is a huge refractor! *runs in*
Bowen: Well, if that's the case... *ahem* *dashes in* Boweeeeen Aerooo!!

Marco: Uh... you still believe in that... *notices Tabor leaving* Hmm...
Alyssa: All right then were was I... I think I covered up pretty much of my work... what else you want to know?

Youka: Well, there is the swimsuit issue. Although it's months away, I still need a trump card to help my department possibly beat the others. *holds camera* Care to volunteer?
Shimo Ruins, Final Chamber
Bowen: So what does the Tracker say, Rico?
Rico: The massive energy signal... *points* ...is that!
*There is a small blue crystal sphere suspended in a forcefield*
Bowen: Wh-?! BUT! No way that's the treasure of these Ruins! That can't possibly be worth all those Reavers! Are you sure you're not mistaking the forcefield for our objective??
Rico: No, the forcefield has its own frequency... And its energy... *gulp* ...is puny compared to this thing!
Bowen: No way!!

Igiaro: Not to mention that the only noticeable exit is blocked by snow...wait, you guys were discussing surprising good news? Oh, I thought we were talking about depressing bad news. Heh heh heh...ooooohhhh...(Tabor!? Those other two people? Anyone!? HELP!)
---
*Enters the Digger's Weekly building*
Tabor: ...(Wow, it's so busy here! Not a soul even noticed me walk in here! Well, regardless, I hope they'll listen to my interview...) *Walks up to the receptionist* Hello, miss!
Lady: ...Wait, let me check something for a second...
*Tugs on Tabor's snout*
Lady: It's...real!?
Tabor: That might explain why I was ignored...
Lady: People try ANYTHING to get into our magazine. However, I don't know who could refuse a guy like YOU!
Tabor: You don't? Odd...
Lady: Well, some people are rather dedicated to working on their one section in the magazine, but I'm sure they might break the ice once for the credit.
Tabor: (She knows she's not speaking for everyone, right?)
Lady: Just sit over there, and I'll find a willing journalist for you...um, what section do you want to be in?
Tabor: Uh...Uhm...*Reads Youka's copy* Ah! How about "Digger of the Month?"
Lady: That's a big request...you might want to wait over there then. And don't hold your breath. Oh, and wear this sticker.
Tabor: Sticker?
Lady: It reads, "Not a costume."
Tabor: ...Oh.
Lady: I'll return shortly with the news. (Paycheck, here I come! Finally!)
Tabor: (Interview, here I come! Finally!)
---
Igiaro: (He'll be here...) I just hope that either we can break outta here or we can find an exit. Now this "refractor..." is it really worth all that? The more it's worth, the worse the fact that we're trapped will be! ...On an unrelated side note, there are at least 3 intelligent species in my world: Humans, Dragons, and Chao. So I don't find you people at all strange. Hey, maybe I can take you to visit sometime. There ARE a few treasure filled caves you guys would probably like. And...there's not water everywhere, which I've noticed...I may be talking a lot, but I want to get all of this off my chest before we DIE! (Calm down...deep breaths...)

Bowen: Didn't you hear me earlier, Matto? Me and Rico know the way out. But now that we found the rumored treasure, we can turn back-
Rico: Not without that sphere. I'm not going to let four floors of Reaver bashing go to waste.
Bowen: And how will we get through the-
Rico: YAHOO!! *throws a grenade at the generator*
*Generator explodes*
Bowen: ...Should've seen that one coming. *picks up the sphere* What value could this possibly have? I know it's powerful but...
Rico: Hey, it may not be a Refractor, but we came too far and done too much for it to not be worth all that trouble!

Alyssa: Swim...suit? That's it I'm leaving.
Marco: *grabs her arm* Wait a second sis! You know that magazines like these always try to bring more people interested in buying by making stuff like that! And yeah, I know it sounds kind of pervert-ish but well.. look what happened to him! imagine what will it be if he goes back to his boss without anything to show...
Alyssa: Are you being nice to him now? Or do you want to see me in a swimsuit as well?
Marco: I'm your brother... geez!
Alyssa: All right fine. I might have one in my bag, why don't you go get it?
Marco: ... you brought a swimsuit in your bag when we...
Alyssa: I like to always prevent anything that might come.
Marco: If you say so... I will get it then. *leaves*
Alyssa: I hope that you Mr.break-into-the-bathroom, will not expect me to do this without having anything in return...

Youka: Nah, I don't. With this as my trump card, my Deparment will be so grateful that they'll keep chewing the Head Editor out until he has no choice but to give me what I deserve. That, my dear... *klik, flash* ...is return enough for me.
"Digger's Weekly" HQ
??: *walks up to Tabor* Hmph... This is the latest wannabe Digger of the Month? Pfft... *combs hand through hair* Do not make Francis laugh...

Lady: I've found a willing journalist who would be glad to interview you. The Head Editor says it's OK, but he want to see you first. Please come with me.
*Tabor follows the Lady*
Lady: Mr. Head Editor, I told you he was real! ((I'm thinking you should play the Head Editor, Bowen. Digger's Weekly is your magazine, after all. =p))
---
Igiaro: OK, Mr. These Ruins are Inescapable Even Though I Know a Way Out. Let's get outta here. I'm starving. That thing looks like it'll pay for lunch.

Head Editor: Eh? *looks up* Whao!! What in tarnation?! Francis: *combs hand through hair* I still believe it's nothing more than a costume, despite the sticker... *shrugs* But it's all too real... I plucked this scale off the back of his head, and he reacted right when it came off. Head Editor: Lemme see dat! *snatches the scale, bites it* ... ... ... ... Dat ain't possible! Tastes just like mah granny's fried salamandah! Francis: Shimo Ruins, Treasure Chamber Bowen: Alright, let's go... *door opens* Bowen: Wha-?! Rico: What is- ... ... ... No... No way... *walks into the room* Bowen: This is the Puurian chamber! But! This was two floors above us!!

Igiaro: I guess you were right and wrong. Wrong about the way out, but right about it being inescapable. (You'd think someone would come to rescue us by now...) You know, back in my world, I know a group of three brothers that are always exploring dungeons like this. No matter how tough the challenge, they somehow always make it out. Maybe we should try to be like them! Even though I have no idea what they're like OR how they do it...

Tabor: It's not a costume! Honest! And I'm not usually honest...Wait. Salamander? Um...fried?

Head Editor: Hrah-hah-hah! Y'all darn right it ain't no costume! Ain't no way y'all can get fake scales t' taste dat darn good!
Francis: Francis cannot believe how barbaric you can be at times, Mr. Head Editor...
Shimo Ruins, Puurian Chamber
Bowen: A labrynth... It had to be a moving labrynth...
Rico: Ohhh... *squeezes Bowen* Thank you! Oh, thank you!! *cries* If it weren't for you all those years ago, I would've gone down the elevator, and then I... I... *sniffle* ... *bawls into his jacket*
Bowen: *strokes Rico's head* It's okay... Don't blame yourself... *looks up at the waiting Purrian* ... ... ... We will get out... We will escape once more, I promise you that, Rico.

Igiaro: I'm asking about that vagueness later. But right now, we need to focus on getting out of here so that there can be a later.

Bowen: Already on it. *lifts and carries Rico* Heh... Try and keep up, Matto. *jet skates past the Puurian*
"Digger's Weekly" HQ, Head Editor's office.
Head Editor: Hrah-Hah! Francis, y'all are lookin at yer next covahboy!
Francis: What?! But Francis Periz does not interview Diggers with such a... *looks at Tabor, shudders* ...repulsive appearance.
Head Editor: Get ovah yerself, ya pampered mansion boy! Y'all either get me dat story, or y'all are fired!!
Francis: *grumbles* ...Yes sir, Mr. Head Editor... *clap, clap!* Alright, to the office of Francis! Come on, chop chop!
