Fire!
Thanks to Data, the Kitchen in the Flutter caught fire! Luckily, Mega Man was able to put it out before it did too much damage. Thanks, MegaMan!

Fire! 2
Megaman tried to put it out, but it spread before he could. I wish he could have tried a little harder.... It's going to take a long time to repair everything.....

MegaMan and Dig Outs
Megaman and I went looking for Joesph together. This was my first time to go on a dig with Megaman--- Those Reaverbots are really scary! I'm glad Megaman was there to protect me! I'm so lucky to have him around!

The Reverbots were scary, but Megaman's Buster Gun is even scarier! He was firing like crazy, and I got hit by a ricochet! it really hurt! Maybe he doesn't care if I get hurt?

And he even hit me! I got hit so many times I thought I was going to catch on fire or even worst. Maybe it was just an accident, but it was almost like he was aiming for me.....

and even hit me! I got hit so many times I thought I was going to catch on fire or even worse. Maybe it was just an accident, but it was almost like he was aiming for me....

My Father?
We got a Dropship from Joseph in Yosyonke City. The funny thing is, it looks just like the Dropship my father designed all those years ago..... We weren't able to talk to Joseph for too long, so I couldn't ask him everything about my father. I wonder what he knows.....

Off to Manda Island
It looks like the First Key is in Pokte Village, on Manda Island. This is our first Dig in a while, so I'm a little nervous. But I'll try my best. After all, Megaman's depending on me!

First Key
We got the First Key! It's hard being a supporter.... Not able to see anything, relying just on sensors.... I'll have to try harder next time..... I owe Megaman that much!

Von Bluecher's Ship
We were able to get the First Key to Von Bluecher safely. I'm always amazed everytime I see that ship of his. Maybe one day I'll be able to build my own ship like that.....

Glyde
That Glyde was one of the tougher opponets we've had to face. He has a base somewhere on Calbania Island.... We have to go there next. I know I shouldn't worry.... Megaman can take care of himself.... But still, I hope he doesn't get hurt.

Rescue Mission
Megaman was able to help Appo and Dash rescue their sister. I never would have imagined people living on that island!

To Nino Island
Now that Glyde's out of the way, we can get insidde the Nino Ruins. I wonder what we'll find there?

Second Key
We got the Second Key! Megaman's gotten ever stronger than I'd imagine! I'm so proud of him! Maybe I can't go with him on Digs, but I can do my part by designing new weapons for him!

Nino Island Caverns
Von Bluecher now has the Second Key. I hope he appreciates it.... It sounded like Megaman had a rough time in the ruins on Nino Island. Everytime I go near him, I can smell seawater.

Teisel Bonne
Now that we've defeated the Bonnes, we can get into the ruins on Saul Kada Island. I can't believe what a scoundrel Teisel is.... Using a priceless statue like that as a sheild!

Thrid Key
We found the Thrid Key! Some of the Bonnes were exploring the ruins before Megaman got inside..... Including Tron. I really don't like her.... She always says mean things and tries to get in Megaman's way. I wish she would just leave us alone!

Tron Bonne
It looks like that Tron or whatever her name is was saying bad things about me to Megaman. I'll have to ask him what she said later.

What Next?
We gave the Thrid Key to Von Bluecher. Everything's going just as we planned.... But with Megaman on our side, that's only natural! Now there's just one key left. I wonder what will happen when we get all of them? Will they really take us to the Motehr Lode? I don't know.... For some reason, I have a bad feeling about this.....

Here We Go....
After defeating the Bonnes and Glyde one more time, we're finally able to get inside the ruins! One more key to go! Megaman and I both have our work cut out for us!

The Last Key
We found the Forth Key! I knew Megaman could do it! I'm so excited.... We're closer than anyone has ever gotten to the Mother Lode before!

Good Luck, Megaman!
Looks like Megaman and I won't be able to see each other for a while.... But I'm not scared! I know we'll see each other again soon! Good luck, Megaman!

Secret!
I realize now that everything I've done up until now is because I had Megaman by my side.... I've only realized now how much I love him. I'm so happy I have him in my life!

Living Room Restored
Thanks to Megaman, I was able to repair the Living Room. We'll finally be able to sit down and eat again! Now all we need to do is get a new TV set.

Statue Restored
The Statue that was destroyed when Megaman was fighting with the Bonnes in Kimotone City has finally been restored! When it was destroyed I was worrued that something bad might happen to us -- it was a cultrural relic -- but it looks like everything'll be all rright now.

Got a Penguin!
Megaman gave me a stuffed animal today.... A Penguin! I've always loved penguins and the way they swim like they were flying through the water. Now that I think about it, there were no penguins on Forbidden Island. I wonder why?

Got a Cushion! Megaman gave me a Cushion today.... I feel a little guilty... He always gives me things, and I haven't given him anything back. The cushion's soft and very comfortable. I can use it when I'm working on designs or watching TV. Thanks, Megaman!

Got a Model!
Today, Megaman gave me a scale model of the Sulphur Bottom. It's about 1/200 scale, but it looks just like the real thing. There are someplaces that could use some more detail! I'll have to touch them up later.... Maybe I'll weather it a little.... Thanks, Megaman!

Megaman
Megaman walked in on me while I was in the bath.... We haven't talked much to each otehr since then..... I'm sure it was just an accident, but he did something like that last year too, now that I think about it. What if he's doing it on purpose? I don't know what I would do if he is.....

Class A License
Megaman passed the Level A Test and got his Class A License! Now that I think about it, it's funny he hadn't gotten it before. I guess that's because we've always done digs at non-Gulid ruins. Congratulations, Megaman!

Class S License
Megaman got his Class S License! The test sounded like it was really hard, but now that he's passed it, Megaman is certified as one of the best Diggers in the world! I always knew he was, but it's nice to see other people recognizing him too!

We Got a Letter!
Megaman got a letter from Appo and Dash. I wonder if Megaman will ever write me a letter?

Forbidden Island I
This is a report of my and Bluecher's expedition to Forbidden Island. The first problem we faced was the difficulty in approaching the island. Any conventional ship gets turned away by the winds. Attemping to force a ship into the storm surrounding the island almost certainly results in that ship's destruction. In a worst case situation, a ship could become lost in the storm and never be seen again. We discovered that there is an "eye" directly above the center of the island, where the wind velocity is relatively light. Any ship attemping to land on the island would have to use this as its entry point. We decided to design a ship with a rounded aerodynamic hull that was reinforced to withstand the atmospheric pressure above the island. But, in spite of all our efforts and precautions, we failed. Although we were able to land on the island, our ship was destroyed, leaving us without a means of returning home.

Forbidden Island II
Since we could not leave, we decided to make the best of the situation, and explore Forbidden Island as best we could. We were shaked to find that here, Reaverbots were active even above ground. Having lost most of our equipment, we were hard pressed to fend off their attacks. Struggling against both Reaverbots and the weather, we made our way to the center of the island, where we found an ancient relic. I remember it well: a strange, diamond-shaped object, floating in midair. But by the time we found it, we were at the limits of our endurance. As I lost consciousness, I was aware of someone approaching us.... A small girl, perhaps.... Between the snow and the encroaching darkness on my vision, it was hard to tell exactly what it was I saw.... When we recovered, we were lying on the outskirts of Yosyonke. How we got there was a mystery -- Our ship had been destroyed, and to this day, neither Bluecher nor I have any recollection of how we got there. After that, several Diggers tried to reach Forbidden Island..... But none returned. How we were able to is a mystery that puzzles me even now.

Megaman's Discovery I
Once, a long time ago, I went to the ruins of Nino Island to do some research on the civilization that preceded ours. The ruins there are very dangerous, and are normally sealed off, I snuck inside without the Guildmaster's permission. Just inside the entrance, I found a strange, diamond-shaped object. When I touched it, it fell apart -- no, melted -- and from inside there appeared a small child, a baby, and a monkey. Seeing as I had broken into the ruins without permission I couldn't reveal where I'd found them. So, I decided to raise the baby along with my grand-dauther.

Megaman's Discovery II
I decided to call the baby I found Megaman. Actually, it wasn't really my idea.... It was my granddauther, Roll, who chose that name, after one of her favorite video game characters. I tried to get her to change her mind, but she insisted that should be his name. At any rate, I raised him like he was my own. He was no different than any other boy. He quickly became part of the family.

Kattelox Island I
Last year, we explored Kattelox Island -- an island rich in resources. The island is riddled with ruins and tunnels, and a legendary treasure was said to be buried there. While we where there, we ended up fighting the Bonnes, a family of pirates, who had come to Kattelox looking for the legendary treasure. Although we defeated them a number of times, they continued to come after us, but Megaman managed to hold them off every time. Although they talked big, their bark was worse than their bite. Looking back on it now, they were actually pretty amusing to watch. I'm sure that we'll run into them again somewhere.

Kattelox Island II
While Megaman was exploring the ruins on Kattelox at the request of the mayor, Amelia, I saw something amazing. A large manolith descended from the sky over the island. I still don't know what it was, and I probably never will. All I know is that it had something to do with what was going on in the ruins. But the only person who knows the whole truth is Megaman.... Something tells me it may have something to do with Megaman's origin and what he was doing on Nino Island so many years ago....

There's an old letter inside the drawer. Do you want to read it?

"Dear Dad, I've got exciting news -- we're going on an expendition to Forbidden Island, where you and Bluecher went all those years ago! I remember you telling me when I was a little girl about your adventures there. About the snow and ice storms, and about the mysterious diamond in the sky protected by Reaverbots.... And the mysterious girl you saw as you blacked out.... You know how I love a good mystery -- just thinking about seeing all those things for myself gives me goose bumbs! Banner has designed a ship that he thinks can land on the island safely. We're going to test it tomorrow. We'll leave Roll at the neighbor's while we're gone. .............. If something should happen to us...... Please take care of Roll. Well, we're off. I'll tell you all about Forbidden Island when we get back! Love, Matilda"
