I'd do anything for the Rediesel Wrench.

Illumina...? I'm not really familiar with it, but I do know all their supply routes.

Live life to the fullest!

Why I know the Eclipsites so well? Because... No... It's nothing.

Sure, Azure can take care of herself. But it'd be nice if she wrote a letter once in a while and not just intelligence reports.

That Sinsa guy is good leader material. Always charging forward and never looking back.

Making stuffed toys is therapeutic. It's true! It's just a little embarrassing to talk to people about...

Something I hate? Once you reach my age, you'll see that there's nothing much to hate anymore.

Not bad! You're doing a great job with the logistics work at the Colossus.

How about you let me modify your Colossus and give it some new capabilities?

You're asking an old guy like me to just stand here? Young people nowadays are so strange... Never mind. I'll look after you. If anything happens just talk to me and I'll take care of it.

Hey kid, are you alright?

There's still some strength left in these old bones!

Take that!

Ooh, that's so scary⁠—NOT!

Ring me up anytime.

Guess I'll have to put in some work.

But you shouldn't expect much from an old man like me...

Whew... It makes me feel young again, if only for a bit.

More responsibilities...?

Hey, got time to chat? Do you want to hear more about the Eclipsites or learn how to survive in the desert? Don't leave me alone here! Lonely... I'm Mr. Lonely...

Well, well, that feels great!

Alchemy Stars!

Happy New Year, Caelestite!

The secret to logistics? There's no secret... If there was one, then maybe the endless graveyard shifts? Huh? Doesn't sound like the Rediesel Wrench? Hahaha... Yeah, you're right.

I made the Sweeties using leftover parts. I don't really know how they work, I guess I just got lucky... You think the name's cute? Well, Zeta came up with it.

The Umbraton caravans got smarter, so now we've got to switch up the tactics. Huh? You're interested in planning ambushes? Do you know how to read a topographic map then? I'll teach you.

Though I do want to make you a stuffed toy, the Colossus is a little tricky. How about a watermelon worm Eclipsite?

Close combat skills? Sure, but you gotta listen to me, okay? Throw sand at your opponent's eyes, and then sucker punch'em! Works every time! Cheating? Winning is all that matters, isn't it?

If only your people were here during the war, then things might've turned out differently... You don't understand what I'm saying? Is this the "generation gap" people are talking about?

Young man, won't you reconsider joining the Rediesel Wrench? How unfortunate. Our doors are open to you always, regardless.

I'm tied down by my own past. I'll let you be the heroes and save the world. It already takes everything I've got to hold onto what I have now.

Well... Isn't this what growing old is all about? Regretting the past... I can't forget, but creating new memories with you isn't a bad idea.

Fighting? I'm still good at it, I guess, but my back... Man, my prime is behind me.

Want a candy? I have loads in my pockets. I recommend the red scorpion flavor!

Huff... Hm? Haha! Nothing. I just had another nightmare last night. There's nothing to it.

Happy New Year, Caelestite!

Today's gonna be a busy day again... I just want to slack off... Don't push yourself too hard.

Well whaddaya know! It's rare to see a young person up this early, at least at our place...

How's your day? You still gotta eat and sleep even if you've got something troubling you.

It's time for good kids to go to sleep. You can't sleep? Want a bedtime story?

Happy New Year, Caelestite!

Hey! I'm Roy from the Rediesel Wrench. I apologize for all the trouble my little ones have caused you. Hahah! Good to see you!

Fine, fine. Don't be such a stranger the next time.

You really should save it for someone you care about, you know...?

Oh? That's not cheap. Are you sure you want to give it to me?

I'll have to repay you for this. What do you want? You can ask for anything!

Hmmm... Let's see...

Time to replenish some glucose.

Heya. What do you need?

Those kids are a hard-to-please bunch, and they can be pretty darn mischievous, but they're good people. I'm overprotective of them? Ugh... Probably a little... But just a little.

Well, Sinsa really grew up to become a good leader... Hey, you wanna read some of the poems he wrote when he was small? They're adorable!

Why I joined the Rediesel Wrench? Well, some fool once said to me, "let's create a big and lively family together," so I joined like the fool that I was.

My turn? Really? Fine...
