Now the screen will switch to Laguna and his pals [well, at least we have seen Ward for the 3rd time] at the research center. Next you will find Kiros and Ward moving away from the spot. Now talk to the Esthar Soldier on the bottom right hand corner. Next talk to the Esthar Soldier at the entrance of the cabin which Kiros and Ward has entered. Next talk to the cute Moomba and next talk to man at the panel. Return and talk to Moomba again and have a sequence. Next Laguna has to fight an Esthar Soldier by himself, one on one. Next you will have an CGI of the elevator coming down. Laguna will try to block off the soldier's way thus letting Moomba and the man to enter the elevator. Next Kiros and Ward will come here, followed by another Esthar Soldier. Now you will be given two options:

Better Check... <- check your junction before the battle, after you are done with it, select the other option to battle.
Perfect...!

You will fight more enemies [3 of them, 2 soldiers and a Gesper, nab you 1x Potion, 1x Black Hole and 4 AP]. Now head for elevator and you will find two research assistants [one of them is Dr Odine]. Head up the stairs on the right QUIETLY (Laguna and his party does not want to be discovered!) Next you will meet the man and the Moomba [the man is not quite please with Adel ruling Esthar and wants to overthrown her. They have gotten the essential technology to seal her powers and now they are searching for a suitable candidate] Next, one of the assistants will come up. [actually, not the people, even Adel's loyal assistant, Dr Odine is also not please with the rule. Now draw some magic from the Draw Point [Death] and save your game. Now return to the building. There, you can find the Weapon Mon 1st Issue at the south-left corner [it's on the floor]. Next head back to the elevator. Approaches Professor Odine and you will have another battle against those guys. (2x Esthar Soldiers (cyborg), 1x Elastoid)
