The chapter starts with a comms call from Marjory and Gorrik that gets interrupted by Detective Rama and Akane. You are given the choice to start by looking through the MinSec's files on the Aetherblades at Rama's office or investigate the Aetherblade Armada's crash site with Marjory. Heading to Rama's office Head back to Seitung Prison and get clearance to check through the Archives with Akane. The file you are looking for is the last one on the right side, found in the middle aisle between the bookshelves, but reading through all files awards one half of Bloodhound. Before leaving the office you can optionally say goodbye to Akane. Meeting up with Marjory thumb|200px|Appearance of the [[Audio Log box with an Aetherblade recording.]] Marjory will call the commander on comms to remind them about the crashsite. First you will need to meet her and Gorrik, who can be found in a pavillion down the stairs and south of the Royal Court's building. Agreeing to split up due to not having MinSec assistance, you will have to find a minimum of six Audio Log boxes in the areas marked with green circles on the map. Following the stairs down towards Aetherblade Flagship Wreckage will lead to the first investigation site with three Log Boxes. One of the Log Boxes can be found on top and at the front of the capsized ships, going down the ramps from this one, another is in the water underneath some wreckage. The third is inside the ship and directly underneath the point of interest, but can be accessed from outside the ship by swimming near the location underwater. Listen to all three to mark the first site as completed. The second and third investigation sites are up on the cliffs. Follow the metal runway next to the crashed airship to the second site. A Log Box can be found ahead from the runway's end at the edge of the cliff overlooking the shipwreck. Another is found inside the cave next to a Jade Tech Offensive Protocol, the last on this site is located above the cave near a cage and stacks of cannonballs. Having listened to all three Log Boxes in the first two sites you can either meet back up with Marjory and Gorrik as requested via comms and help them interrogate an Aetherblade or optionally look for the last two Log Boxes in the third investigation site to finish Bloodhound. To get to the optional logs follow the metal runway up. One is near another bunch of cages and cannonballs, the other is down near the stone gate next to a Jade Battery. In the meantime Marjory and Gorrik have captured an Aetherblade for interrogation, you can assist them in questioning the prisoner. There's an optional conversation to be had with Marjory before returning to Aurene's cave. Returning to Aurene Go back to Aurene's Enclave for the instance Aurene's Sanctuary. Once there follow Taimi, who is sharing news about Aurene and Caithe's concerning silence, Gorrik, Marjory and Joon to check on them. As soon as the commander enters the cave they will be pulled into a new realm, where a conversation between Aurene and the first Elder Dragon, Soo-Won takes place. Other members of your party will be transformed into orbs of light. After sharing these groundbreaking news and Joon's insight on how the Aetherblades acquired the Extractor, you can ask her for more information. Selecting the option will make the other lines of questioning become unavailable, so pick the options marked with first, if you want to listen to all of Joon's input. Having gained a lead on Captain Mai Trin and the Aetherblades location concludes this chapter.
