Malbee: Away! Away with you!

Vi: Malbee! Hang in there!

Kabbu: We'll keep you safe!

Malbee: Vi? What are YOU doing here!?

Leif: Talk later. We're getting rid of these pests.

[post-battle]

Malbee: Watch it! You almost splattered that honey on me!

Vi: Ugh. I don't even get a thank you?

Malbee: You don't deserve it, Vi.

Kabbu: We, um...are glad to see you're okay.

Leif: Vi, who is this?

Vi: This is Malbee, the maintenance chief.

Malbee: That I am! Glad you still remember that.

Malbee: Who are those two with you?

Leif: Vi's exploration team.

Kabbu: At your service!

Malbee: So you did go and build up a team instead of doing your shift here, didn't ya?

Vi: Anything is better than here! Bet you never saw it coming either!

Malbee: I didn't. The Vi from back then wouldn't have managed.

Vi: HEY!

Malbee: Guess something changed, though…

Malbee: It seems that I owe ya in the end. So thanks. Who knows what could've happened.

Vi: You're...welcome?

Kabbu: Uh, I'm glad we could be of help.

Kabbu: By the way, Miss Malbee. We're looking for the Overseer. Would you be able to help us?

Malbee: Oh, her? She's got to be trapped in the Storage.

Malbee: With the security in place, the vents shut down... Honey's heating up, and those Abomihoneys are popping up.

Malbee: She won't last long by herself.

Leif: What do we do? The storage is locked.

Malbee: That's because the pump shut down. I was about to fix it, when I got jumped…

Vi: Can you fix it now?

Malbee: Yup. Hang on tight for a few minutes.

Vi: Is it done?

Malbee: Yep! Good as new. Processing's back to full power! Storage should be open, too.

Kabbu: Thank you! Now we've just got to walk back…

Vi: Oh, you're gonna like this Kabbu.

Malbee: With the machines working again, you can catch the tram back.

Leif: Will it bring us back to the entrance?

Malbee: Yeah. Saves a lot of time. And you get to see the factory from a whole new angle.

Kabbu: That is fantastic! We do get to tour around after all!

Vi: Thanks, Malbee. We're gonna go do our mission and stuff.

Malbee: Hmph. Vi, if you don't think you're cut for that exploration stuff, I'll actually rehire you here.

Malbee: Could always use more folk pushing the boxes.

Vi: Never! Let's go, team!

Malbee: Don't forget my offer, Vi. I can always use more help.

Vi: Right... See you later!

[Quest: Helpers Needed At Once!]

[first talk]

Overseer: Oh, Vi! You've come back!

Vi: This might pay well, so…

Leif: The robot things are having issues, yeah?

Malbee: Indeed. The Code 32 incident caused plenty of trouble, and I had to fix all of them.

Malbee: The Menders are durable and reliable, but some of them went haywire despite my efforts.

Malbee: I don't have time to look for all of them, so I need you to go in my stead.

Kabbu: We're not qualified engineers, so... How do we fix the Menders?

Malbee: Easy. Just whack them until their system resets.

Kabbu: What? H-Hit them? What about their feelings!?

Leif: Kabbu, machines don't have feelings.

(minibubble) Kabbu: And if they do...?

Malbee: They don't indeed. Just go and reset them, no matter how many whacks it takes.

Malbee: There should be 3 around the processing areas of the factory.

Vi: You better have a reward ready! Let's move, team!

[talk again]

Malbee: There are 3 broken Menders in the factory's processing area. Trust me, one look and you'll know which ones broke.

[talk after fixing]

Malbee: You've fixed them, haven't you? My radar's confirmed it.

Kabbu: It was emotionally draining…

Overseer: The Menders weren't made to fight, only to do simple tasks.

Overseer: Thank you. H.B.'s inventions have been going way out of control recently.

Malbee: Well, I must congratulate you, Vi. I really want you to come back and work for us.

Vi: In your dreams!

Vi: Exploring's right where I belong.

Malbee: ...Regardless of my bias, it's good to see you've found your calling.

Malbee: You've earned this. Thanks for helping us again.

Vi: Woah! This one's really rare!

Overseer: It would really be nice to have you back with us, Vi. But I know you'd hate it…

Overseer: Good luck on your adventures!

Vi: Thanks, chief!

Leif: Well, we're out. Stay safe.

[Talk Again]

Malbee: I do think you've got a future here, Vi.

Vi: I'll live. Exploring's way more fun!

Questgiver

Code 32 messed up the factory badly, the Menders are out of control!

I don't have time to go fixing all of them, can someone come and whack them for me?

I will make sure it will be worth your time.

Kabbu: So Malbee was your boss, Vi?

Vi: Yup...I hate having a boss. It sucks! Being an explorer is way better!

Leif: But isn't the Queen our boss now?

Vi: At least it doesn't really feel like it…

Kabbu: Indeed. Exploring sets the soul free!

[Honey Factory, Overseer’s Office]

Vi: Bleh. Taking her posting is like working for her again…

Leif: We can charge her extra, if it makes you happy.

Vi: Great idea!

(minibubble) Kabbu: You two...
