Project Moongazer
During your previous adventures, you have learned some very important secrets indeed. Yet the mysteries surrounding Project Moongazer and Ninnin have not yet come undone, and so, you decide to check out the final stop on this trip...
Traveler:
We're ready.
Columbina:
Let's go, then. Follow me closely, just like before.
Traveler:
Give us a moment.
Columbina:
Don't worry. I'll be waiting right here.
Columbina:
Looks like we can head deeper into the base from here.
Paimon:
Who would've thought this base would still be operational? This is crazy.
Traveler:
That's dragon-tech for you.
Columbina:
In that case, let's not disturb the fruits of their labor.
Paimon:
What are you talking about? Paimon thought we could turn this place upside down now that you're here.
Eggie:
Aren't you afraid that things might turn out like when we came to the moon? We almost didn't make it onto the spaceship.
Paimon:
Ah... Paimon completely forgot about that! Ugh. Seriously, why would a base even have a self-destruct system anyway...
Paimon:
Guess we'll have to keep a low profile, just like old times.
Columbina:
Yes. To be honest, I'd like to know what's inside too... and sneaking into my own "home" is quite... novel.
Columbina:
Also, now we're here, that strange sense of familiarity is only growing stronger...
Paimon:
Huh? Gravity seems back to normal...
Paimon:
Columbina! You're back! Was it you who fixed the problem just now? Talk about perfect timing...
Paimon:
We were so worried! Where did you go?
Traveler:
Are you alright?
Columbina:
I'm sorry. I didn't expect the depths of this base to actually lead to the moon's core. It contains an extremely high concentration of ancient moon energy.
Columbina:
When I suffused this base with kuuvahki, I accidentally came into contact with it and was swept into the moon's core.
Paimon:
So you really went there...? Paimon was starting to think this base was haunted!
Paimon:
Anyway, Paimon's glad you're okay! We just discovered some new info about Project Moongazer. It's...
Columbina:
I already learned the truth at the moon's core...
Columbina:
I discovered who you are as well, Ninnin.
Eggie:
It seems that is where my mission lies. Please take me there.
Columbina:
Hmm...
Paimon:
What's wrong, Columbina? You look like you don't want her to go there..
Columbina:
Ninnin... cannot survive within the moon's core.
Eggie:
But I must complete my mission.
Columbina:
Yes, but it does not wait for you there.
Eggie:
What?
Columbina:
Your mission isn't to be accomplished at the moon's core. Rather, it is to be found in the place where everything began.
Paimon:
You mean the Eye of Ibni-Belum?
Columbina:
Yes, your mission is to activate Project Moongazer within the Eye.
Columbina:
That requires a data key made from the ancient moon's power. I can journey to the moon's core once again to retrieve it for you, but it will take some time.
Eggie:
Are you asking me... to return to the Eye and wait?
Columbina:
Would that be alright with you?
Eggie:
...No. If I can't get the key myself... I'll wait for you here.
Eggie:
If you don't come back... I won't leave.
Eggie:
I want to stay here... and wait for my friend to return...
Columbina:
I understand. Thank you, Ninnin. I'll be right back.
Traveler:
I'll go with you, Columbina.
Columbina:
If you insist.
Paimon:
H—Hang on, what about Eggie? Are we really going to leave her here all alone?
Columbina:
Don't worry, I sent a message to Maagees, and she's on her way.
Columbina:
As long as she stays here, there's nothing else in this base that can harm her.
Paimon:
Paimon's still a little worried, though. Maybe she should just stay here and keep Eggie company?
Columbina:
Huh? Don't you want to see what the moon's core looks like?
Paimon:
Yeah, but Eggie will get lonely here if we leave her all alone.
Paimon:
She's also Lusalim's daughter, which is, well, something she only just found out.
Paimon:
News like that always takes some time to digest. And it's not easy to handle — what if she starts to overthink things and runs off somewhere dangerous?
Paimon:
So, Paimon's gonna stay here with her and wait for Maagees.
Paimon:
Just make sure to come back and tell Paimon what you see, okay?
Eggie:
Thank you, Paimon. My estimation of you has gone up once again.
Paimon:
In that case, Paimon will increase your snack allowance by one share! Now it's three for you and seven for Paimon.
Traveler:
Paimon, acting like a big sister... How quickly they grow.
Paimon:
Heh, why so surprised? Paimon did watch Eggie grow up, y'know!
Paimon:
Alright, go on, go on! The sooner you go, the sooner you'll be back. Don't make us wait too long!
Columbina:
Alright. Путешественник, come with me.
Paimon:
Great! Here's another terminal!
Paimon:
Your time to shine, Eggie!
Eggie:
Terminal activated. Requesting base data.
Eggie:
Base data acquired.
Eggie:
Searching for Project Moongazer... No data.
Eggie:
Searching for Lusalim... There we go!
Eggie:
I've located Lusalim's research lab. It's inside this base.
Paimon:
Haha, jackpot! Let's hurry over and check it out!
Eggie:
Reading the base's engineering schematics and routes... Hmm... We just need to keep going forward, and we'll get there.
Traveler:
Is there any other intel?
Eggie:
Retrieving other data... Huh? "The Lord of Darkness Who Returned From the Sea of Stars"?
Paimon:
Who's that?
Eggie:
The data indicates that the existence of this base... stems from the will of this "Lord of Darkness."
Eggie:
Its construction also dates to a much later time than any of the other facilities we've visited. Its bottom-most levels lead to the moon's core, into which a fissure has been carved.
Eggie:
An endless stream of ancient moon energy surges from the fissure — it's what powers this base.
Eggie:
Its purpose was to turn the moon into... a space-based weapon!
Paimon:
S—Space-based weapon? Wait, is this "Lord of Darkness"...
Traveler:
It's probably the returning dragon king, Nibelung.
Paimon:
So the dragon king returned!? Wow, we must be pretty special to have stumbled into a place like this...
Paimon:
First, the Heavenly Principles arrived, then the dragon king, and now us!
Traveler:
Ad astra abyssosque, as they say.
Paimon:
In that case, we're gonna have to be really careful how we proceed.
Paimon:
If something goes wrong, Columbina, you gotta protect us, okay— Huh? Hang on. Where's Columbina?
Paimon:
She's gone!
Traveler:
...When did that happen?
Paimon:
Paimon didn't even notice her leaving... Eggie, did you see where Columbina went?
Eggie:
No, I was extracting the data from the terminal...
Paimon:
O—Oh no... The one person keeping us safe just disappeared! Is this place... haunted or something?
Traveler:
(Columbina wouldn't leave without saying something. There must be some reason for this.)
Traveler:
(Something related to Eggie, perhaps? No, she was reading the data on the terminal.)
Traveler:
(Could it have been...?)
Columbina:
Also, now we're here, that strange sense of familiarity is only growing stronger...
Traveler:
(Columbina's disappearance might have something to do with that sense of familiarity she mentioned. What exactly is hiding inside this base?)
Paimon:
What do we do now!?
Eggie:
Yes. That place must hold the secrets this base conceals. We might find some clues about Columbina's disappearance there.
Eggie:
That said, our route requires us to pass through the security systems ahead — we can't afford to trigger a base-wide alarm.
Paimon:
Is there a way to disable the security somehow? Let Paimon see...
Traveler:
Observe
Paimon:
That route over there leads to Lusalim's lab, but we gotta find a way to switch the security off first!
Paimon:
Looks like we need to reach the second floor through the room on the left. That's where the security control room is.
Paimon:
How about we find a way to sneak in and check it out?
Paimon:
Hmm? This thing looks like it still works.
Paimon:
Maybe there's some info inside? Let's open it up and take a look.
Paimon:
Is this the message that the creature from space sent to the dragons...?
Eggie:
I see. So that's how it was...
Paimon:
So Project Moongazer was meant to send this kind of message back out into the universe?
Paimon:
If that's all there was to it, couldn't they just have used the Eye of Ibni-Belum?
Paimon:
Did Paimon miss something? Hang on, she's gonna check again!
Paimon:
Huh! Whaddya know, there really is a footnote at the end!
Paimon:
"To my 'daughter,' Ninnin."
Paimon:
Ninnin!? Wait... So you're Lusalim's daughter, Eggie!?
Paimon:
Wait, then how'd you end up like this?
Eggie:
I... I don't know... I don't have these memories... Why don't I have them?
Traveler:
We need to go take a look at the moon's core.
Paimon:
B—But what about Columbina? We still haven't found any clues regarding her disappearance...
Traveler:
That might also be connected to the moon's core.
Paimon:
Oh, right! That familiar feeling she mentioned earlier must be the core, right? Come on, let's check it out!
Columbina:
Are you ready?
Paimon:
Can we turn off the security system with this?
Eggie:
That's right, these are the security controls.
Eggie:
But it seems we need to shut down both the security controls here and in the room on the right — and we need to do it in quick succession.
Paimon:
So that means once we turn the security system off here, we've gotta hurry over to the other control room as fast as we can, right?
Traveler:
Understood.
Paimon:
Oh no! We've been spotted!
Eggie:
Over here!

Project Moongazer
During your previous adventures, you have learned some very important secrets indeed. Yet the mysteries surrounding Project Moongazer and Ninnin have not yet come undone, and so, you decide to check out the final stop on this trip...
Columbina:
Our journey has reached its end. She is the key to activating Project Moongazer.
Traveler:
Who?
Columbina:
An imprint left here by the project's final inheritor.
Columbina:
She will explain everything.
Nin-Kiggia's Mark:
Hey! Hello there.
Traveler:
Hello?
Nin-Kiggia's Mark:
I'm Nin-Kiggia. You can call me Ninnin. That's what people usually call me.
Nin-Kiggia's Mark:
What's your name? Ibni-Belum? Ungien? Maagees? Or are you Lusalim?
Traveler:
I'm Путешественник.
Nin-Kiggia's Mark:
Hehe, no need to answer me. Unfortunately, I'm no longer here. This is just a recording.
Nin-Kiggia's Mark:
But if you look at it another way, it's not "unfortunate" at all. You're here, and that means the plan was a success — you have inherited our mission.
Nin-Kiggia's Mark:
You must still be very confused about a great number of things, such as — "Who exactly am I?"
Nin-Kiggia's Mark:
Let me tell you: You are a new life created through the will of the moon, a crucial part of Project Moongazer.
Nin-Kiggia's Mark:
"And what exactly is this project?" you must be thinking... Don't worry, I'll get to that.
Nin-Kiggia's Mark:
First, please thank the Three Moon Sisters, who permitted our transgression and allowed us to borrow the power of creation from the moon's very origin.
Nin-Kiggia's Mark:
Secondly, thanks are owed to my teacher, Lusalim. He inherited everyone's research and successfully collated all their ancient moon energy data.
Nin-Kiggia's Mark:
That's how I was able to gather that data in this sea at the moon's core. Then, when the primordial power of creation was triggered... "Bam!"—
Nin-Kiggia's Mark:
A cute little black kuuhenki — namely you — was born.
Nin-Kiggia's Mark:
You might inherit the name of someone who came before us through the ocean of data, or you might not, but you will probably recall that you have a mission.
Traveler:
So this is how Eggie was born...
Nin-Kiggia's Mark:
Next, we must say thank you to Madam Maagees, who uncovered the nature of our astral visitor — a data-based lifeform. Her research was the foundation upon which you were born.
Nin-Kiggia's Mark:
And we have Ungien, who sacrificed his life to relay the final message that our guest's civilization sent out into the stars.
Nin-Kiggia's Mark:
Then came the first Moongazer, Ibni-Belum, who led us to the moon, opened our eyes, and tirelessly gazed into the brilliant starry skies.
Nin-Kiggia's Mark:
Finally, dear successor, thank you as well for your imminent sacrifice, which will activate the final step of our project.
Nin-Kiggia's Mark:
Your mission is to continue transmitting the message we once received out into the universe.
Nin-Kiggia's Mark:
"A single ray of light is feeble, easily swallowed by the darkness, but as long as another light shines out before it can fade..."
Nin-Kiggia's Mark:
"Then one day, there will surely come a ray of light that pierces the night like the dawn."
Nin-Kiggia's Mark:
I imagine you understand what I mean at this point, yes? As it happens, my time is almost up... But that's okay. I'll be joining them all soon.
Nin-Kiggia's Mark:
Come to think of it, you might actually have inherited my name, hehe.
Nin-Kiggia's Mark:
It's time to say goodbye. Go complete your mission. And lastly... I salute you, and all your fellow Moongazersstarry sky.
Columbina:
And that's everything.
Columbina:
All the researchers who once explored the starry sky have had their data merged into this ocean. By the will of the moon, they will be reborn at some point in the future in forms akin to Eggie's.
Columbina:
They will instinctively consume each other to acquire more data until the mission becomes clear in their minds.
Columbina:
Then they will walk the path we have walked once more, come here, and learn everything.
Columbina:
They will use themselves as keys to open the Moongazer module in the Eye of Ibni-Belum, and resend the message out into the universe.
Traveler:
Then, they will return to the cycle of life...
Columbina:
Yes, and this cycle may have already happened more than once.
Columbina:
That said, calling out into unknown space is not necessarily safe.
Columbina:
The dragon researchers must have also realized this, which is why they began work on the Lunar Veil.
Columbina:
And in Ninnin's era, the world already teetered on the brink of destruction due to the conflict between two supreme beings.
Columbina:
But peace has been restored in Teyvat, at least for now.
Traveler:
(If the signal sent out this time ends up drawing the attention of the darkness that dwells amidst the stars to this place...)
Columbina:
As promised, I will hand the key and the message over to Ninnin.
Columbina:
But do you think we should stop her from completing her mission? Or should we support her?
Traveler:
I need some time to think.
Columbina:
Mmhmm, I understand. Then let us return to the first Moongazer's tower.
Traveler:
What about Paimon and Ninnin?
Columbina:
Don't worry. Maagees will pick them up.
Columbina:
It'll be a fairly long journey. We'll have plenty of time to give this some more thought.
Columbina:
Let's go. It's time to leave.
Columbina:
We made it down.
Traveler:
Is this the moon's core?
Columbina:
No, that's still up ahead. With you coming along, we'll have to enter it the normal way.
Columbina:
As for this place... it is the masterpiece of that Dragon Lord of Darkness
Columbina:
He reforged the moon into a terrifying weapon, and this is its launch silo.
Columbina:
The lunar core, the source of the moon's power, became artillery fire aimed at Teyvat.
Columbina:
However, that primordial ruler ultimately met defeat at the hands of the Heavenly Principles. This place is no longer a threat.
Columbina:
Let's continue on.
Columbina:
Beneath this door is where we need to go.
Traveler:
Looks like we'll need a key to open it.
Columbina:
You already have it with you.
Columbina:
This is Lusalim's final facility — the one before was the Lunar Veil Laboratory, which is now the lunar sea.
Traveler:
You mean the Ancient Moon's Fount?
Columbina:
That's the one.
Columbina:
Hmm? Has the system detected us?
Columbina:
Regardless, they can do nothing to stop us.
Columbina:
Maagees has already picked Paimon and Ninnin up and is heading back. We can get going once you're ready.
Columbina:
Then let's go.
Columbina:
We're back.
Paimon:
Путешественник, Columbina! Looks like things went just dandy for you two at the moon's core, huh?
Traveler:
We did indeed learn a lot.
Paimon:
Oh? So you know where Eggie came from, and what Project Moongazer's all about?
Columbina:
Yes, and the key to unlock the Moongazer module — it's all right here.
Columbina:
I'll hand it over to you now, Ninnin.
Columbina:
Once you've read the information here, you'll know what your mission is.
Eggie:
Thank you! I have been waiting for this moment.
Columbina:
...
Paimon:
Columbina? Путешественник? Why do you two look so serious?
Traveler:
Because her mission involves unknown risks.
Eggie:
What kind of risks?
Columbina:
You'll find out by the time you're done reading.
Eggie:
...
Paimon:
Paimon's a little confused... What exactly is Eggie's mission?
As Eggie reads the information, you tell Paimon everything.
Paimon:
Sending a message into the starry sky? So that's what Project Moongazer's all about...
Paimon:
So the risk is... we could expose Teyvat? Are you serious? This... Ugh, this is a tough call...
Paimon:
Eggie... are you alright?
Eggie:
...
Paimon:
Hey, don't be sad! We can still talk this over, right?
Paimon:
Remember those snacks? We can split 'em fifty-fifty, no problem!
Eggie:
No, I'm not sad.
Paimon:
But you're crying!
Eggie:
I'm not sad. And I'm not crying. This is just... just...
Eggie:
A toast to those who came before.
Eggie:
Columbina, Путешественник, Paimon. Thank you.
Eggie:
You're my friends. I don't want to make things difficult for you, so I'm willing to... give up on my mission.
Paimon:
Eggie...
Eggie:
It's okay, Paimon. I'm not the first to have executed this plan.
Eggie:
My predecessors have long since sent our voices out into the stars.
Eggie:
Those voices, so filled with courage, must have traveled to the farthest reaches of the starry skies by now.
Eggie:
As long as those voices endure, silence cannot reign across the universe, and that is enough.
Columbina:
Путешественник... have you made up your mind?
Columbina:
I agree.
Eggie:
Y—You really think so?
Paimon:
Can we really take that risk?
Columbina:
Moongazer has already been executed many times.
Columbina:
The false sky used to conceal Teyvat has also been opened more than once.
Columbina:
The Frost Moon has existed outside the false sky for thousands of years. Yet even now, there are no traces of Abyssal corruption here.
Paimon:
Oh? You mean this might not be as dangerous as we thought?
Columbina:
There are many possibilities. Perhaps the Abyss isn't constantly watching this place, or perhaps the great ruler of the firmament has taken other measures...
Columbina:
And to minimize risks, I will also use my power as the Moon Goddess to shield any message that Ninnin might send.
Paimon:
Huh? What does that mean?
Columbina:
Kuuvahki and the ancient moon's energy are both, in essence, the power of the Light Realm. As such, I can infuse my power into the transmitted messages.
Columbina:
Once the data passes through the false sky, I can also use that same power to monitor the surrounding area.
Columbina:
If there's danger, I can erase the information. That way, we won't be discovered.
Paimon:
Oh? That sounds great! But... can you maintain your power the whole time?
Columbina:
Well, my strength does have limits. I can only keep it going up to a certain distance.
Columbina:
I will try to shield the message as far as possible. At that point, its source will not be so easily traced.
Traveler:
That sounds more feasible.
Eggie:
But... will this hurt you?
Columbina:
Don't worry. We have the support of an entire moon here, you know.
Paimon:
So, are you ready, Eggie? Once you've made up your mind, there'll be no turning back!
Eggie:
...Can I ask one more question?
Columbina:
Yes?
Eggie:
Why would you do all this for me?
Columbina:
Because we're friends.
Eggie:
That's it?
Columbina:
Yes. That's all the reason I need.
Traveler:
Moongazers...
Paimon:
P—Paimon does, too!
Eggie:
I understand. Then, I am ready.
Eggie:
I was born for this moment.
Columbina:
Alright. Now, sing out toward the stars. Teyvat's moonlight shall send you off on your voyage.
Eggie:
Uhm... Hello... Hello, everyone!
Eggie:
I am so glad... to be able to send this message out into the mysterious vastness of space...
Eggie:
I don't know if it will reach you... But, if nothing else, let it at least dispel some of the silence that fills this cold universe.
Eggie:
If "you" are out there and you hear this, then there must surely be some kind of special gravity that, like the moon, has captured us both.
Eggie:
So, I'd like you and your civilization to know... that you are not alone beneath this boundless starry sky.
Eggie:
Our era is drawing to a close... but our courage, faith, and intellect will echo across the sea of stars... via this tiny message.
Eggie:
It is insignificant, but it is our light... I hope it emboldens you. You do not face the unknown and the darkness alone.
Eggie:
Please keep sending your voices out into the stars, and let them become your light too.
Eggie:
A single ray of light is feeble, easily swallowed by the darkness, but as long as another light shines out before it can fade...
Eggie:
Then one day, there will surely come a ray of light that pierces the night like the dawn.
Eggie:
Last but not least... we are... Moongazersstarry sky in an unremarkable corner of the universe...
Eggie:
Our names are...
Eggie:
Ibni-Belum...
Eggie:
Ungien...
Eggie:
Maagees-Geti...
Eggie:
Lusalim...
Eggie:
Nin-Kiggia...
Eggie:
To everyone who can hear this... We send you our regards...
Eggie:
My friends... Thank you... Let us meet again... beneath the starry skies...
Paimon:
Eggie has completed her mission...
Paimon:
Her hat...
Traveler:
Are you okay, Columbina?
Columbina:
I'm fine. But I need to stay focused for what comes next, since I'll be pushing my strength to its limits.
Paimon:
Then let's hurry and find a quiet place!
Paimon:
Goodbye, Eggie... Paimon will always remember you.
Terminal:
(...A burst of signal static...)
Terminal:
(...It seems the activation of the Moongazer module has activated a sealed data segment...)
Terminal:
...This is... the ...
Terminal:
...Received... message... and... sending our reply...
Terminal:
...Unable to... accurately pinpoint your coordinates... I cannot know how long... this reply reaches you...
Terminal:
...But I'd like to... respond... at this very moment...
Terminal:
...We are travelers... who have traversed the universe alone for a long time... and your voices... it is as if a bonfire has suddenly lit up a dark forest...
Terminal:
...You take great risks... yet you are fearless... You inspire us and warm our hearts...
Terminal:
...I believe... in this moment... it is the gravity of the starry sea and destiny... that connects you and me...
Terminal:
...In the future... we will try... to find your... planet... but not now, unfortunately... We're still dealing with... some trouble...
Terminal:
(...A burst of signal static...)
Terminal:
...Aether! Are you ready?
Terminal:
...One moment, Lumine...
Terminal:
(...A burst of signal static...)
Terminal:
...Well then... My regards to you...
Terminal:
...Just as you said, the sea of stars is vast and boundless, and we are not alone...
Terminal:
...Let us meet again beneath the starry skies...
