Walkthrough

This event is pretty straightforward. After a brief conversation at the Repair Station, Researcher Eway will head out into the sandstorm. He will travel to several inert dust mites and stop to investigate them. The various monsters will attack him most frequently as he investigates the dead dust mites. Once he finishes investigating the third dust mite, the event ends.

Dialogue

At start

Researcher Eway: Nothing like a brisk stroll through a dust storm to liven one's wits.

Research Assistant Keeda: Ah, yes. Burning sun, stinging eyes, sand in every imaginable place. And I do mean—

Researcher Eway: You could always stay here.

Researcher Eway: To identify the dust mites' weakness, Imust examine one that's recently expired from natural causes.

Researcher Eway: My research suggests the best time to find dust mites is during a sandstorm.

Researcher Eway: But we should probably locate the mite carcasses before they're completely covered by sand.

After first stop

Researcher Eway: Ooh, what an extraordinary find.

Entering combat

Researcher Eway: I brought you on this mission to prevent this sort of...inconvenience.

After second stop

Researcher Eway: I've never seen a specimen so well preserved.

Out of combat

Researcher Eway: (sigh)

Upon completion

Researcher Eway: Right. I think we've collected enough samples. If not, you can always bring me back later.
