After a lengthy cutscene, you'll have control of Shion again. Head all the way
to the south and use the save point. Then what you should do is head up a bit
from the save point and talk to the guy crouching next to the big red chair
thingie. Say Yes when he asks if you want to go back in the Simulator. Be
careful though, you're alone with JUST Shion and not KOS-MOS. You can try to
level up if you'd like, but what you're after is in the room with the boss you
fought. Just head straight in, twice, grab what's in the box and leave. You'll
get a Battle Passport which let's you play the Battle mini-game. Exit via the
E.V.S. Exit Pillar in the top right of the room.

Now we're going to explore the Woglinde. This is a rather large ship with quite
a few areas. You should also talk to everyone you see.

When you're done with the simulator and you've talked to everyone, head to the
right side and go out the door. After a quick cutscene, move on to the right.
Follow the path and you'll get your first E-Mail! This E-Mail talks about the
Connection Gear. You'll also get a quick tutorial on E-Mails and some quick
info about the U.M.N. Whenever you're ready, let's move on.

Continue on and head through the door for another cutscene. Once you have
control back, head thought the door on the right for yet another cutscene.
When you get control back again, head right. Before going through the door,
talk to the guy in orange near the door. Let him send you E-Mail, then head
through the door. Head up again and through the door there. Walk up a bit for
another cutscene.

Move up again once you have the chance, and Shion will mention that she needs
some data from her room. Keep heading up, and examine Segment Address No. 18 on
the way. Just past the SegAd, on the left is a map of the ship. There are
several of these scattered throughout the ship, so check them out if you get
lost. Directly across from the map is Shion's room. Go in. Grab the flashy
thing on the desk to get the Maintenance Data. Save at the save point, and
exit the room. You can also rest if you walk by her bed, but don't do that now.

Grab the data and leave the room. On your way out, you should get an E-Mail
from Myuki about the M.W.S. (the weapon Shion used in the KOS-MOS Simulator).
Anyway read the E-Mail and leave the room. Take a right out of Shion's room and
head up to the next area. Hmm, looks like we can't go through. Remember this
area, and the flashy button on the crane, you'll need it later. Go back down
towards Shion's room. On the way you should pass a room with a woman inside.
There's another switch in here, that you should take note of. We're gonna need
it later, too.

Moving on, keep heading down until you can take a path on the left side of the
screen. Go through the door at the end. After a quick cutscene, you have to do
some work. Everybody always wants something. Anyway, talk to all the Realians
that are on tables in this room. There are several of them. Make sure you talk
to them all. After you talk to them all, you'll get another cutscene. After the
scene, attempt to leave through the door directly in front of you. You'll get
another cutscene.

Go back in the door you just came out of and walk around the center of the
room. You'll get an E-Mail from Vector asking you to help them. You have
to press X first, talk to Bunnie, then you can reply. Reply, saying you will
help, then exit the room again.

Head straight up a bit and you'll notice some junk in the way. Talk to the guy
in orange on the left of the screen next to the machine. He'll explain what's
up and ask for your help. Agree to help him, and play a quick drilling
minigame. The objective is to line up the drill directly over the junk and
release it so it destroys the junk. The guy explains it better than I can so
just pay attention. You must clear away all the junk to continue. Just play
with the camera angle and you'll get it. When you're done, you'll get a Drill
Passport from him. You'll also get a Med Kit S if you destroyed all the objects
without missing or a regular Med Kit if you did miss. The Drill Passport allows
you to play a similar Drill minigame from E.V.S. enabled save points for
prizes.

Once you're done, continue moving up and you'll get another E-Mail informing
you the Database Service is now online. Read the mail then continue on and
through the door. In the next area, the first room on the left is home to a
Save Point, so go in and save your game. After that, exit the room and go up to
the next room. It's locked, but talk to the guy next to it. Then continue up to
the next area. As soon as you can, go left into an area with some couches.
You'll get another E-Mail, this time from Myuki asking for your help. Reply
that you will help her ("I Read Your Secret E-Mail"). Leave the lounge area and
keep moving north, following the path. Enter the next door and you'll get a
brief talk about the Segment Address doors. You'll get the Segment File special
item from him.

Start heading right and you'll get an E-Mail. Read the mail. Now go back
towards the left and up the hallway. Once it opens up into a bigger room,
there's two guys talking on the left side. Go talk to them and play their mini-
game. You're going to need to master this (it's so not hard), as you'll need to
use this trick later. You'll get a Med Kit for your troubles. If you're having
a hard time, here's what you do, otherwise skip to the next paragraph. As soon
as they say go, RUN away from them, to the right of the center square column.
Then around it to the left and back down the hall towards where you started.
Grab the item and you win!

After the game head back north and to the left. Go in the red door. To the
right is a guy in orange who will sell you some items. Check it out and stock
up on Med Kits, Ether Packs and anything else you want. Save 500G for later on,
you'll need it. When you're done with the store, head up and into the hangar
area. If you talk to the guy on the right near the top, you can play an
A.G.W.S. mini-game. If you play, you'll get 40 EXP, 18 T.Pts and 16 S.Pts for
winning, as well as a Med Kit S. It's an easy fight, so do it! Now is a good
time to gain some levels. Don't worry about your HP and EP unless you're about
to die, because after you exit battle, you get fully restored.


-[ LEVEL UP TIME ]-
I would strongly suggest that you play the A.G.W.S. mini-game mentioned above
and gain some levels for Shion. You don't need to use an A.G.W.S. either (in
fact I think you get more points for NOT using it). Level Shion up well, and
when KOS-MOS wakes up to join you, she'll be at a level close to yours (so if
you get Shion to level 10, KOS-MOS will be level 9 or 10 when she joins you).
You don't have to do this, but it would really make things easier in the long
run!


Anyway when you're done here, exit the hanger and the room. Once outside, head
right. As your walking you should see a ladder near the top of the screen. Hop
on it and go to the left and talk to the guy up there. Remember this area,
we'll be back. Go back down the ladder and keep heading right and out the door.

Head right some more and follow the path, then examine Segment Address No. 16.
Inside the room to the right of that is a save point and a chest we can't get
yet. Save, exit the room and continue right. Keep following the path and you'll
soon find a holodisplay of two girls singing or something. To the right of that
is a switch, remember it. Keep heading down, then to the left.

You'll pass another two switches, remember them or play with them if you want.
Continue left and go in the orange door you'll find. Head up to the bridge.
Head straight up the ramp and talk to the Captain. You'll get a cutscene. After
the cutscene, head towards the elevator and you'll get another E-Mail. Read it,
and save the attachment. Go down the elevator when you're done. As soon as you
exit the elevator, you'll get paged and informed you have a package waiting. So
let's go get it!

Head back to the right, and follow the path up. Walk around the left side of
the first plant holder thing you see, and you'll get another E-Mail. This one
is requesting you invest in a company, but you need 500G to do it. You don't
have to do this, but you really should, because it'll help you later. If you
choose to invest, invest in Vector-Tenan Pharmaceuticals. Continue heading up
and follow the path to the left and go through the door. Continue left back to
the A.G.W.S. hangar. Once inside, talk to the man sitting down on the left and
you'll get your M.W.S.! Leave the hanger, Shion mentions she's tired, so I
guess we'll go to sleep. One thing to take care of first.

Head to the right and go down the first chance you get. Go through the door,
then head left and follow the path to the next door. Keep heading down, and go
back into the Realian maintenance lab, exiting through the door on the bottom
right. Head right some more, and then go down when you can. If you don't want
to collect all the E-Mails, head up instead and go into Shion's room, save and
rest. Otherwise, keep going down and through the next door, then to the left.
Go through the door there, then head up. Head back into the KOS-MOS lab and
wander around on the left side of the room to get another E-Mail, which turns
out to be just an ad. Hit the save point up that's near the bottom center of
the screen and exit the room from the right again. Head back right and down and
through the door, then right some more and through that door. Head all the way
up past the SegAd door and take the next door on the right into Shion's room.
You'll get a cutscene. After the cutscene, take a rest for another cutscene.

Oooh boy, now the proverbial poopy really has hit the fan. For the time being,
AVOID ALL ENEMIES. You can't even damage them yet, so just RUN AWAY. If you get
in a battle, and don't have any Escape Packs, it's game over for you. As soon
as you have control, quickly run back into Shion's room and SAVE.

Run up and attack the first enemy blocking your path. Just attack however you
want. Eeeep! No damage! RUUUNNN! You'll get a really quick cutscene. When you
have control again, quickly run to the right while avoiding all the enemies.
Run past the first flashing red switch and quickly press the second one, thus
shutting out the baddies. Continue right, then head up. On the right will be
a little nook with a control switch in it. Run over and press it. Slip past the
Gnosis that's now, uh... distracted. Head up and left and into the first room
you see. Save, then head back outside and follow the path left and up. As soon
as the monster sees you, quickly run back into the room with the save point.
Monster gets bored and wanders off. Attempt to leave the room for a cutscene.

When you have control, follow the path left and through the door. Yipes, more
mean ghost monsters! Head left, then up the ladder and left again, and press
the flashing switch. Just to the left of the switch is two crates, blow them up
for a Revive DX and 200 G. Go back down the ladder and head left. Just in the
room where you played tag with the two soldiers, one is alive in the corner on
the left. Use your radar to find him. Talk to him. After that head up and to
the left and go back in the hangar. Talk to the guy in orange that was selling
stuff for the Vaporizer Plug-in! Stock up on Med Kits. Buy as many as you can
with your remaining cash, you're going to need them. Now head up to the north
part of the hangar. Blow up the crates for Frame Repair A x2, Escape Pack and
Frame Repair Z x2. Leave the hangar when you're done.

Now walk around to the left of the pile of junk. See that brown box? Walk near
it so one of the monsters destroys it, then run away and hide behind the yellow
panels until both monsters are trapped. Then go get the 200G that was in
the box and Veil x2 from the chest. Head to the right and then down where the
wounded soldier was. Blow up the junk blocking the path and move down a bit.
Yipes! RUN RUN RUN! Just like you did in the game of tag, and back through the
corridor. After a bit the monsters give up and you get Decoder 7! Use it on the
red door right there and grab the Robot Part Right Arm from the chest. Head
back out and to the right. Well... I guess they came 'cause they're hungry. Go
back to the left and head down through the door. You'll get a cutscene.

When you have control, search the guy next to you and get the Crewman's Key.
Just to the left of him is the door, open it. Go inside and grab the SMP53AG in
the chest (Missile Pod for A.G.W.S.). Go back out and down to the next door,
enter and save. Exit the room, head down again and through the door. Another
cutscene and then...
