Transcripts of the Explosion in the Wilderness Monthly Squad's Communication Recorders.
| Part 1 Unlocked at the start

|---|---|
| Sesa | I can sense it. There's a curse on this land. Even now, it saps my strength little by little, from the deepest recesses of my soul, devouring me from within until naught remains... |
| Ceobe | I feel it too... |
| Dur-nar | Use your own words. |
| Sesa | I'm beat. |
| Ceobe | I'm hungry. |
| Dur-nar | Get it together, you guys. We just left! |
| Ceobe | Dur-nar! Any more food? |
| Dur-nar | No can do. We each get our fair share of rations when we're on the march. No sneaking in snacks. |
| Ceobe | Just a little! |
| Dur-nar | No. |
| Ceobe | *whine*... |
| Dur-nar | Alright, fine. An army fights on its stomach, I guess... In that case, we'll take five right here. |
| Sesa | The journey of the brave is awash with despair, no whisper of when fated replenishment will finally beckon... |
| Ceobe | Neat, I found a thing! |
| Dur-nar | What is this, a metal hammer? That's some rust. Must've been dumped here forever ago. |
| Sesa | Hmm. The craftsmanship is superlative though. Why abandon it? |
| Ceobe | Gargh– |
| Dur-nar | No, Kay! You can't eat it! |
| Part 2 Unlocked after entering the 3rd floor

|---|---|
| Dur-nar | There goes the last of the snacks I keep in reserve... No more eating anything weird, Kay. |
| Ceobe | Thanks, Dur-nar! I'm full now! |
| Sesa | Then perhaps I too should&ndash |
| Dur-nar | Don't push your luck! *sigh*... So, back to this hammer. See this pennant on the handle? Don't you guys think it looks like a flag? |
| Sesa | An anonymous flag? Just what does it stand for? |
| Ceobe | I can hear it saying stuff! Like my other weapons! I'm gonna keep it. Hup! Whoa, kinda heavy. Really gonna hurt for the bad guys! |
| Dur-nar | All the rust just fell off?! Like it turned into sand! Is that your Arts, Kay? |
| Sesa | Harmonization with weapons! It's the Soul Resonance I've been forever seeking! |
| Dur-nar | No, it's Arts! Originium Arts! |
| Ceobe | This hammer speaks really weird. I don't get it. |
| Sesa | What is it "saying"? |
| Ceobe | Annihilate all nomadic cities! |
| Dur-nar | You can't be serious. Is it connected to THEM? That's a little on-the-nose, isn't it? Whatever. You hold onto it for now, Kay. Let's move. |
| Part 3 Unlocked after entering the 5th floor

| Dur-nar | You guys ever heard of the Rusthammers? |
| Ceobe | Um... Uh-uh. |
| Dur-nar | They're this real extreme gang of bandits. I hear they're active in every region of every country. They carefully plan out every raid, and their tactics are good enough to go toe to toe with whole city militias. Their combat style is, in a word, insane. You often hear about mercs escorting caravans that lose their nerve without the Rusthammers even lifting a finger. Back when I was serving, they were a hell of a thorn in our side. |
| Sesa | You saw them all the time back in Sargon. But they wouldn't necessarily be plundering passing caravans. At times they'd even head out to help people stranded in the wastes, of their own accord. |
| Dur-nar | Sounds like Sargon's Rusthammers would duke it out with Columbia's, if they ever met. |
| Sesa | Now, the real question is whether "barbarism rebels against civilization" or "civilization itself gives rise to barbarism." |
| Dur-nar | That's sure one to chew on... |
| Ceobe | Wait, you mean those guys who wear really beat-up clothes and live in tents? They gave me food before! They're good guys! |
| Dur-nar | Um... |
| Sesa | Er... |
| Ceobe | Huh? Why'd you stop talking? |
| Dur-nar | I-It's nothing, let's press on. Oh, yeah, Kay. What happened to the hammer you picked up? |
| Ceobe | Um, I thought it was way too heavy, so I threw it away. |
