Dialogue
Pilot selection begins
A new mech op directive has been issued. Those seeking to volunteer as pilots must submit an application.
An infestation of toxic pollen-spewing weeds has taken over Highwood Estates. We fear an adverse effect on existing vegetation, not to mention any initiative members working nearby.
We will be mobilizing warmachina developed by our Garlean allies to neutralize this botanical threat.
Pilot selection concludes
If selected as pilot
Pilot application accepted! Please make ready and board your mech via the Pilot Confirmation window.
Preparations for the mech op “Directive: Eradicate Toxic Weeds” are now underway. The mech autopilot system will transport you to the mission site.
Your mission objective is to clear the area of all dangerous plant life. The toxic pollen these weeds produce is harmful to everything in their immediate vicinity.
Our geological survey concluded that this plant species is less than five centuries old, meaning the city's technology was not designed for its eradication.
Your mech, however, has been equipped with magitek claws adapted for that very purpose. They should slice through this fatal flora with grim efficiency!
You have arrived at the mission site for mech op “Directive: Eradicate Toxic Weeds.”
Please take this time to inspect the area and prepare for the operation to begin.
If not selected as pilot
Pilot selection has concluded. Unfortunately, your application was not selected.
Joining the Mech Op
The mech op “Directive: Eradicate Toxic Weeds” is now underway.
If joining as a pilot
No trace of poisonous growth can be allowed to remain. Commence felling!
If joining as ground support
Welcome to our ground support volunteers! Your task is to incinerate the smaller weeds.
Deposit all collected plant ash at the field scanners to aid in mech operations!
Maintain pace. We're on target to clear the field within our projected mission time frame!
Toxic expulsers appear
Camouflaged growths detected. Mech pilots, destroy these new targets!
Weed eradication is proceeding apace, but pollen levels are rising! Some unknown factor is at play here...
Toxic expulsers appear
Field scanners can now stun the hostile plant life!
Exercise caution! New growths detected in the vicinity are displaying actively hostile behavior!
Our equipment uses pulses of aether to scan the area. It may be possible to increase the intensity and stun the plants into inactivity...
Toxic expulsers are charged with electricity
Attention, ground support! We will attempt to incapacitate the hostile plant life using augmented aether pulses. Continue fueling the scanners with ash!
New hostile growths detected! An instinctive threat response...? All personnel, watch your step!
Hostile plants are temporarily neutralized! Mech pilots, seize this opportunity to fell the aggressive specimens!
Mech op complete
Weed eradication is ninety percent complete! One last push, people!
New hostile growths detected! An instinctive threat response...? All personnel, watch your step!
Operation successful! The toxic growths have been completely eradicated thanks to all our dedicated pilots and ground support!
