Decisions, decisions with editing.....
Before taking upon this next part of the MSQ, I've teleported to Retem Alnothe to carry out the part of the MSQ, "Nadereh's Suppression Request". Simply jumping into the combat sector Rappy marked enemies are often found(most of the time when the events pop up with maintenance), my target monster was a single target Trial, followed by a PSE Burst. After its completion, we meet with Nadereh by Grainer Coast West, where she speaks about Aina coming to her about what it means to be a leader/instructor. It is made known that Aina had been a nervous wreck, going around places for the selfsame objective; whatever it took to try and help her understand.
Then we get a call.
The Alpha group Aina was in was now swamped by The Starless in Murabba Canyon, where. if not for her signal in the sky and whatever else, we'd not find her. For a creature worth their training mission, the Starless entity, Halvaldi spawns, and so do we.
I can see this thing worth the grind as an Urgent Quest or some kind of Trial. Noted that I didn't capture ALL of its mechs, a handful were worth making note of. It felt like a fun challenge to have, even though some people were hoping for Solus to have some introduction into this patch's MSQ.
Also worth mentioning, Aina's comment to Rikul about maintaining optimal distance and swapping out weapons was a direct reference to one the Chapter Cutscenes of Base PSO2, Oracle Story, where one of the ARKS Defenders who often got into it with that one a$shat of an ARKS Soldier conveyed to us in the icy area of Naverius that he only became a Hunter because of some means of being expected to be strong, whereas he would so swap out weapons and do something else for a better way of fighting.
