Ugh, another day of nothing, nada! That dead machine's just dragging us down. Nothing we do can get it to spit out even a single blueprint. Shaun thinks we shouldn't push our luck. He said we should just give the machine to Lowe. The commission plus the blueprints we've already got would be more than enough to make our trouble worth it. But Branch and Nora insist on keeping the thing. They wanna reap the rewards forever. I get where they're coming from, but seriously, we can't even get it up and running! What should we do? Check out that big tower in the northwest? If Branch is right, we might find Source there. We just need to be stealthy and not take too much. Then our precious Gacha baby will come back to life and we'll be rolling in it. No risk, no reward. That's what people say. Screw it, we might as well try.
