| Builder, I have something in mind that will help Heidi complete her undertaking. But to finish the design, I need to study a Power Core from one of the Old World robots. You can find them in the Paradise Lost Hazardous Ruins. Thus, that is your task. Bring me the largest one you find. P.S. I'd send the Civil Corps, but they wouldn't know a Power Stone from a stapler. P.S.S. The robots may try to kill you. |
Head for Paradise Lost[]
| Go to Paradise Lost Ruins to explore. Please leave enough space in your backpack to pick up the core before you go in. | Head for Paradise Lost |

The player will need to head to the Paradise Lost entrance located next to the Eufaula Salvage Shop. The player will find Justice and Unsuur standing by the entrance:
|
Heyyy there, player. Gotta get into these ruins, huh? |
|---|
|
|
Well, shoot... I really want to let you slip on by, but, well, you remember what happened last time we bent the rules a little... |

Now, I see where you're comin' from; I can see your frustrations. A door's singular purpose is to provide passage to and from a certain location, and when that door is blocked, the one thing it's meant to do, well, it's ain't really bein' manifested. And I know you, it's in your blood to try to get things fixed and operational and what not, but the thing is if we don't uphold the law around here, people could just start buildin' things all willy-nilly and who knows what kind of chaos that could produce. Sometimes we just have to go against our better judgement and let the rules be rules, and respect 'em as such. Now before you get too bent out of shape, let me assure you that Unsuur and I have made it our utmost priority to begin the process by which to apply for the forms to which we can then use to get permission to authorize your fixing of this here door. After a Builder accepts it and fixes the door, you can get into the ruins. So yer gonna have to hold your horses and... |

While Justice is talking, Mi-an fixes the broken door.
|
Hey, guys! I saw the door was broken so... you know me. Ding ding ding! It's fixed! Good as new! |

|
|
You just disrupted protocol...! |
|---|
|
What's the plan, sheriff. |
|---|
|
|
Huh!? What'd I do wrong? |
|---|
|
|
I... saw nothin'. Woah, how 'bout that, the door fixed itself! |

The player can now enter the Paradise Lost ruins.

Once the player enters Paradise Lost, the game time gets paused, so the player can take their time exploring. In addition, any actions that usually cost Stamina to perform can be performed at no Stamina cost while the player is inside the ruins.
In the ruins, the player will find level 15 monsters: damaged and undamaged 
Sweepers, damaged and undamaged 
Haulers, 
Disgruntled Secretaries, and 
Trotters.
The player has to collect Mall Keys to progress; both the keys and terminals where they can be used are marked with light blue arrows.
Destroy Console and Attack Exposed Core[]

- Main article: Control Cat
The player will have to fight the area boss, level 17 
Control Cat. The player will not be able to defeat the boss directly as doing so will only result in either one damage (armor intact) or two damage (armor break) to the boss [ verify ]. To defeat the Control Cat, the player will need to attack each Console located around the room. Destroying a Console will expose one of the Cores behind the Control Cat.
Talk to Qi[]

Well! There it is. |

This... looks to be a R47 Condensed Crystalline Power Core Ultra with an ion flux capacitor! I've read about them but... to actually be holding one! |
|---|
- It is what you need... right?
- Ah, yes. R47, of course.
| → It is what you need... right? | ||
|
|
No... this is way beyond what I need! I can take things from here. I'll just start by throwing all my previous plans into the trash and... Ha ha... and they all thought I was mad coming here... | |
|---|---|---|
| → Ah, yes. R47, of course. | ||
|
|
I know! Right? I was only expecting R30s down there, but to get an actual R47 Ultra! It was a prototype core that was a downsized version of the R57 core used in standalone All Source AIs... | |
|---|---|---|
|
|
...And you look like you have no idea what I'm talking about... Just know that I'll be throwing all my previous plans into the trash and... Ha ha... and they all thought I was mad coming here... |

|
|
You can go now, I'll get back to you. |
