HagurumonWhat the heck is that dummy doing? The next shift should have taken over by now.

PlayerIs something wrong?

PlayerWho're you talking about?

PlayerYou look sleepy.

HagurumonMy Central Tower security coworker still hasn't come back from work.

HagurumonIt's my Central Tower security coworker. They haven't come back from work yet.

HagurumonI'm finally off duty after working security at Central Tower, but my coworker still hasn't come back.

HagurumonSomething might have happened to them, but they're also a habitual slacker who tends to nap on the clock...

HagurumonBut if something DID happen, it'd be a whole situation... I suppose it's best to go and check on them.

HagurumonI'm off duty now, though, and we have a strict
"no overtime" policy. Could you go in my place?

PlayerSure thing.

PlayerI don't work for free.

HagurumonSorry to trouble you. This "no overtime" thing is kind of a double-edged sword.

HagurumonI don't blame you for saying so. I know I sure wouldn't want to do anything for no pay.

HagurumonPlease, I'm begging you! Go check up on my coworker at Central Tower.

HagurumonZzz... Mm, ngh... Cut it out! I'm going to rust... *mumbling*

PlayerAre you okay, Hagurumon?

PlayerWake up!

PlayerLet me oil you up.

HagurumonGotta take care of this squeaking... It's embarrassing... Mm, mmm... *yawn*

HagurumonMm, hmm... What? Morning already? *yawn*

HagurumonOh, wow! My gears are totally greased...! Gigi! Aww, it was just a dream...

HagurumonHow did I...? Oh, right. I had my eyes down picking up some trash, and ran into someone...

HagurumonOh, no! I got to get back, fast! We've got a
"no overtime" policy in place these days!

HagurumonWell, I better run! Thanks for waking me up!

HagurumonAh, there you are! I've been waiting for you.

HagurumonMy coworker came back just a little while ago. You're the one who woke them up, right?

HagurumonThanks! That was a big relief. And here's a reward! I couldn't let you work for free!

HagurumonSorry for the hassle. This "no overtime" thing is kind of a double-edged sword.

HagurumonMy coworker should be cleaning up over near the entrance to Central Tower.

HagurumonThey probably wouldn't be inside, so look around the entrance. Thanks!

SolarmonZzz... I did it... I finally did it! Praise me, Master... *mumbling*

PlayerAre you okay, Hagurumon?

PlayerWake up!

PlayerNice palette swap!

SolarmonYou got the wrong 'mon! I'm Solarmon, not Hagurumon! ...Oh, wait. Was I sleeping?

SolarmonZzz... Master, your hug... It's too tight...! ...Oh, wait. Was I sleeping?

SolarmonI'm not a recolored Hagurumon, dangit! I'm Solarmon! ...Oh, wait. Was I sleeping?

SolarmonOh, that's right... I was trying to pluck a Parrotmon plume on my master's orders...

SolarmonI had my eyes down, searching, and ran into something! Dang, I must've been knocked out.

SolarmonJust you watch, Master! I'll keep my promise. I swear!

Big BearmonThere was this Solarmon that was slackin', so I told them to go get a Parrotmon plume!

Big BearmonI said if they do, I'll make them my disciple. That little 'mon's got a lotta promise!

Big BearmonYer kinda like Minerva's disciple, right? Disciples gotta do what their masters say!

You report back to Hagurumon.
