Starting the mission

Walkthrough

After talking to your friend, you will be able to find out what happened to her after the meme attack. You will be asked to choose one of three answers, but your choice will not affect the course of events. Either way, your friend will share information about the Land of Exile and Death, and then show you her memories.

At the end of the roll, you will find yourself in the Dreamstream Reef and meet with Velt. He will tell you about the future plans of the Star Express and suggest that you meet elsewhere. After you gain control of your character, head forward to the next marker. If you want, you can talk to Firefly and Velt in the meantime, asking them more questions.

When you reach the end of the street and see the huge clock statue, turn around and enter the elevator that will take you upstairs. Firefly will decide to go in search of Gallagher, and you and Velt will head to the other members of the Express.

After the conversation is over, turn right and approach Misha, who is standing next to Chasik. He will offer to be your guide to help you find March 7 and Chimeko, and then escort you to Zaryanka. Make your way to the center of the highlighted area by going up the stairs and talk to Misha again. Then go down a bit and approach Cami's topographer.

After that, go back a bit and turn left down the stairs. At the bottom, you will meet Mart 7, who is trying to calm down a frightened Pepesha. Suddenly the memes of the memory zone will appear, which you will have to fight. Their vulnerabilities are shown in the picture below. After defeating them, the Family member will pass out and you will need to find a safe place for him.

You should guide Pepesha to Jessie. The woman can be found behind the counter of the fast food cafe that is nearby. The quest marker indicates the location of the establishment. After you find Jessie, talk to her and hand her the pansy.

After talking to Jessie, go back, cross the bridge to the other side of the road and turn right. There you will find Himeko talking to Micah, who is the keeper of the Dreamstream Reef graveyard.

Teleport to the Interval Square anchor and head east to the highlighted area, descending the stairs. At the bottom, you'll find Zaryanka having a conversation with the children and their tutor. The singer will share her problems with you - she's lost her voice and faced a prediction of her imminent demise.

Then watch a short clip showing one of the moments from Sunday and Zaryanka's childhood. Also listen to a conversation between Gallagher and Resurrection, who also ended up on Exile Earth.

Upon completion of this quest, you will be rewarded with 700 Mastery Points, 90 Star Jades, 350 Hour Credits, 100,000 credits, a new tune, 6 Traveler's Guides, and 6 Purified Aether. In addition, you will unlock access to the next quest, Enemy of the State.
