Therapist/Operation Aquarius - Part 1

｢Nice to meet you, young man. I have a well-paying job for you. Since you are already aware of the problems with the drinking water in this region and the origin of these problems, I know that I can entrust you with the following information. We found out what the source of contamination is, and we know how to stop it. We need a bit more time, but we will get it done. Qualified engineers are already on it, but until then we will have to live on the remaining reserves (which are very scarce, indeed). However, to my knowledge, some people managed to make hay and stock up on clean water prior to the contamination. These people are part of the gang which inhabits the dorms next to the factory. Several people saw them carrying large plastic barrels full of clean water to that location. Though I can't blame them for surviving any way they can, we need that water more than they do. Besides, the contamination issue will be solved very soon, so they won't be needing that water anyway. Acquiring this water will save many lives, so get out there and find where they store that water. We will all be indebted to you...｣

「会えて嬉しいわ、傭兵さん。割のいい仕事があるの。あなたならこの地域の飲料水に関する問題やその原因も知っているし、この情報も安心して話せるわね。私たちは汚染源が何かも突き止めたし、それを止める方法も知っているわ。経験豊富なエンジニアがすでに作業に取り掛かっているし、もう少し時間はかかるでしょうけれど、必ずやり遂げるつもりよ。でも、それまでは僅かな備蓄で耐えなければいけないの。本当にあと少ししかないのよ。……ただ、私の知る限りでは、汚染が広がる前にきれいな水を貯めこむことができた人たちもいるのよね。工業地域のそばにある社員寮に住み着くギャングたち……。彼らが水を詰めた大きなプラスチックの樽を寮に運んでいるのを見たという人たちがいるのよ。生き延びるために必死になることを責めるつもりはないけれど、ここにいる人たち以上に彼らの状況がひっ迫しているとは思えない。それに汚染の問題はもうすぐ解決するんだから、どのみちそこに貯めておく必要もないでしょう？……それさえ手に入れば多くの人の命が救えるのよ。だから、水が保管されている正確な場所が知りたいの。この仕事をやってくれるなら、私たちは全員、あなたからの恩を忘れないでしょうね……。」

｢How curious! So that's where that water went. Thank you. I will inform my people. Skier certainly would not be happy with me interfering with his interests, but what won’t you do for the sake of the people.｣
