Drift City/Cras Station 1

First Mission In Cras
"My name's Ella. I'm your operator here at the 1st Station. Nice to meet you, !  I used to work as an OMD driver, but I was injured while pursuing an HUV.  So, now they have me behind a desk.  I'm not bitter... We've received confirmation from Director Green that Branton has escaped to this city.  I suppose that's why the HUV activity has increased here.  It's crazy that one person can cause this much trouble on an entire island. Cras is a mountainous city located on the northern end of Mittron Island.  This city was developed to support more Mittron mining operations.  Consequently, the roads weren't made for normal traffic, and can be very dangerous to the unprepared.  We suspect one of the reasons Branton fled to Cras is because of his connections with the Glizini Car Repair Center.  It could be just a place to lay low, but I tend to assume the worst.  Let's start our intelligence gathering by having you patrol in and around the Repair Center."

- Station 1 Head Ella

New city, new station, same old deal. The Glizini Car Repair Center is located northeast of the station, and your patrol route will take you around the block across from it and cross over itself, stopping just short of the Concert Hall.

"How was your first mission there? You did a really nice job!"

- Operator Erina

Stakeout at the Cras Engineering College
"The Glizini Car Repair Center is run mainly by students attending Cras Engineering College, which is located near this station. There are rumors that Branton is in contact with the university students. Go scout the Cras Engineering College to verify Branton's presence there."

- Station 1 Head Ella

Ready for another ambush? Head east and south to get to the college, then stay in the red circle until the HUV passes by, and this mission will be finished.

"These stakeout missions are easy for you, aren't they? I hope to see Branton arrested soon..."

- Operator Erina

Chase at the Concert Hall
"This is urgent! An HUV allegedly belonging to Branton has appeared at the Cras Concert Hall. Go there at once and arrest it!"

- Station 1 Head Ella

You heard the lady. The Concert Hall is northeast of the station; take the second left after heading east from the station, and it's at the end of that street. Once you get there, the HUV, a B-Monster T model, will spawn near the Food Research Center. From there, it should be a simple matter to bring it down.

Food Delivery
"The fact that Branton is still on the loose is very unsettling. Your next mission is to deliver food made by the Cras Food Research Center. You will drive the delivery vehicle on your own and drop off the food at the Mittron Museum.  Be careful, Branton might be close by!"

- Station 1 Head Ella

As you've been told, your first stop is the Food Research Center. It's located at the far northeast corner of the city, even farther than the Concert Hall. You probably passed by it while chasing down the HUV from the previous mission. Stop there, and you'll switch to the delivery truck.

"Here's the car. Please drive carefully."

- Food Center researcher

She's not kidding; you only have 2 crashes and 1:15 to get to the Mittron Museum. The easiest way to get there is to turn around and go back the way you came, then keep going past the Station 1 street before making a right at the Technology College. Don't drift at the turn; you'll just make yourself more likely to hit something.

"I hope this wasn't too much trouble. Thank you."

- Museum Manager

"Though the food delivery car is quite big and heavy, you drove it well. Good job!"

- Operator Erina

Pledge
"HUVs have caused an crash at the 7th branch of the Fogel Bakery. Get over there and help the injured!"

- Station 1 Head Ella

No time to waste here. Head west from the station and take two right turns to get to the bakery. But wait...what's this? Branton's here?

"It's been a long time since we've met! What was your name? ... Oh, I remember! !  You helped me last time, right?  I haven't forgotten!  I staged this HUV accident to lure you here.  Are you surprised?I'm doing well in this place, but I still need help!  I'm working with the engineering college students to find out where the HUVs come from.  I set up this fake accident so I could meet with you and ask for your help! Truth is, I didn't make HUVs.  Rather, I tried to use Mittron energy to make this island rich...I think someone is trying to set me up.  We need to find out who!  !  If you trust me, please help me out!  I'll give you some time to think about it.  The next time we meet, I want to hear your decision!  Someone of your ability should help us!  I hope you make a wise decision!"

- Branton

So there's no injured person to find, meaning the second objective is moot. Okay...

"Wow! How did you complete the mission so fast? Anyway, you did a good job.  Here's your reward."

- Operator Erina

Monopolization of Mittron
"You know that Cras is a fairly new city, right? Director Green and Instructor Duffy have come here on official business. Go to the Hotel Laurier and meet them.  Handle this mission like a pro.  Avoid collisions!"

- Station 1 Head Ella

The easiest way to get to the hotel is to take the first left after passing the Repair Center, then keep going straight. Be careful on the steep mountain roads; it can be very easy to hit something, especially on the blind hills.

Instructor Duffy: Long time no see! how are you, ? Do you like it here? Cras was established strategically to secure more Mittron. You knew that already, right? In Cras, there are huge Mittron mining facilities. They're amazing! Director Green: The whole world is facing serious energy shortages. Petroleum is all but exhausted. Alternative energy is not efficient enough to alleviate the problems caused by this shortage. Under such circumstances, we found Mittron, and wouldn't be too much to call it a miracle. What the OMD government has to do is help relieve the world's energy shortages by developing Mittron. Duffy: However, we have another problem--the appearance of HUVs. Once we started using Mittron for energy, HUVs started appearing and wreaking havoc. It's hampering our Mittron development! We have to catch that damned Branton! Green: It's also the reason we haven't started exporting Mittron energy and technology. We don't want to step forward and export Mittron off the island until we discover the HUVs' motives.

"I heard that due to the HUVs, Mittron mining is still dangerous. In order to overcome the energy shortages of the world, we need to arrest Branton as soon as possible..."

- Operator Erina

HUVs and Mittron
"Instructor Duffy wants you to look deeper into the connection between Mittron and HUVs. You should start your investigation at the Glizini Car Repair Center. Out of all the places that work on Mittron cars, it's the largest on the island.  The Mittron car technician said he'd like to see a Mittron car driven by an OMD driver."

- Station 1 Head Ella

You should know how to get to the Repair Center by now, only this time, instead of stopping on the street, you're going to enter the facility's parking lot and stop at the door of the building itself. Go past the red circle, then turn around and head back to it so that you're facing the exit. That way, you won't have to waste time turning around when the timer's running.

"Hello! Wow, I finally get to meet a real OMD driver! All the other drivers say they're too busy.  Anyway, Instructor Duffy has asked me to investigate the link between Mittron resources and HUVs.  HUVs and mittron cars appear similar at first, but they're actually quite different.  I want to see the difference firsthand.  For that, could you drive around this area a little?  Instructor Duffy told me he was sending his best Mittron car driver.  I can't wait to see your skills!"

- Repair Center technician

Here's the hard part. You have 22 seconds and 3 crashes to reach the first target point, over by C Mart. The rest of your route consists of one lap around the block across from the Repair Center, after which you'll be heading back to the Center to finish the mission.

Analysis Document Delivery
"The analysis report from the Glizini Car Repair Center has been completed. We need to send the report to the OMD Vehicle Research Center in Koinonia. To get to Koinonia, follow the 8-lane road in front of this station.  It's a long drive, but you'll be alright!"

- Station 1 Head Ella

This is your first mission that requires going to another city, but thankfully, that means there's no time limit. Just head straight east and south from the station to get back to Koinonia, then go south to get to the Vehicle Research Center. You've been there before; it's right next to Station 1.

"Oh! The famous driver ! It's really you.  Around here, you're famous for your great driving!  You must be tired after driving so far.  Thanks for the report."

- Head Researcher

"How does it feel to be back in Koinonia? While you're here, why not visit the harbor? Anyway, good work!"

- Operator Erina

Car Test
"Glizini Car Repair Center has developed a test car based on their analysis. They've asked for you to conduct test runs on it. Get going!"

- Station 1 Head Ella

Okay then, back to the Repair Center. Use the same trick you used last time to face the exit when you stop. When you do, you'll be placed into the test car.

"Good to see you again! Based on our analysis, we were able to make a test car. Could you test drive it for us?  I know you're busy, but please help us out again!  Hold on, though; it hasn't been very long since it was assembled.  It's very fragile, so try not to crash into anything!"

- Repair Center technician

The technician's warning is no joke; a single collision with anything other than another player will fail the mission, so you need to be very careful. Thankfully, there's no time limit, so you can drive as carefully as you need. The first target point is near the Concert Hall, then your route will take you past the Bellota Rest Stop before returning to the Repair Center.

"Thank you. I was able to observe your driving closely. It's definitely different than the car you drove last time!  We're beginning to understand the relationship between HUVs and Mittron.  HUVs are made by people.  I get the feeling they were mass-produced in some kind of factory.  That Branton must have a lot of financial power!"

- Repair Center technician

"This means that Branton has a factory somewhere. I think we're getting closer to finding him! Good job!"

- Operator Erina

The 2nd Station
"Through our data and intelligence gathering, we've ascertained that Branton has some kind of scheme related to Mittron mining. Go south from here, and you'll find the largest Mittron mining complex on the island. The machinery and technology there are unparalleled!  The 2nd station is nearby.  I'll miss you.  Now get going!"

- Station 1 Head Ella

Time to bid Station 1 farewell. Head south past the Technology College and keep going straight, and the road will eventually lead you to Station 2 on your left amidst the noisy mining machines.

"Hi! I'm Eugene, the Station 2 Staff contact. Nice to meet you!"

- Station 2 Head Eugene
