Update 14: If you give a cat pancakes
Distant
Hey... Goons? I guess you all saw my dream?
Yeah, we did...
It was...
.....
Library Stroll
Aww, Niko. It was just a bad dream! It doesn't mean anything!!
Poor kid. 
Let's go see George and see if she finished that translation.
...the translation is done.
Oh!
That was faster than I thought!
Well, YEAH!
You've been asleep for hours!
Oh...
Anyway...
It looks like this journal was meant for the Goons.
Oh?
Here. Read it yourself.
quote:
The Tower is the domain of an elusive Entity. This being is connected to the world. For now, you can think of it as the spirt of the world. It has no physical form, but it can communicate through computers and other machinery... You know who I am talking about, of course.
When you first arrived here with our savior, it no doubt contacted you right away. Through its own means, the entity will guide the both of you to the Tower. The entry room is at the Tower's base. Not only do you need the sun there, but also three pieces of the previous sun. The savior will not be able to do anything there. You Goons, on the other hand...
Look at the pattern on the floor. Do as it says. The window will be gone, so you will need to bring it back.
That's all there is.
Someone tore out the other pages.
Did YOU do this???
No!
Then you're on your own, kid. I'm not sure what "window" means here.
Maybe the Goons will have to figure that one out.
Right...
I only have this sun...
Do I have to explain EVERYTHING...
Sigh.
It's just a fancy word for objects containing yellow phosphor.
Y'know, stuff that glows yellow.
Oh! I do have a piece of amber and a feather!
They fit the description, right...?
Yeah, but you only have TWO of them. And they're super rare so it's not like you're just gonna find something like that on the ground.
Right...
...
...okay.
Here. You can have this.
Oh... It looks... kinda like you?
What? Never seen dice before?
...So why do you have a die for a head?? Is that... just something we're going to ignore?
No! I mean yes!
I mean, it's just...
Nevermind.
So... yeah. Need anything else?
I'm good, thank you!
Off you go, then.
Don't screw this up, okay?
Hey! Don't be mean to Niko! They've got enough weight on their shoulders! Well, anyway... we still really don't know what to do but there's nothing else for us to do - let's head to the Tower. We've passed by it several times already, but the path there has been pointless since we didn't know what to do. We still don't but, since there's nothing left to do... let's go check it out anyway.
*Growling noises*
Hey, Goons?
Do you remember where the cafe is?
Hmm, oh yeah, wasn't it up near the elevator area?
Oh, good! I'm asking because... well...
I'm... a little hungry...
Actually I'm REALLY hungry!
I haven't eaten anything since I got here... so is it ok if we go get some food before we enter the Tower?
I hope they have pancakes...
Oh yeah, sure thing kid! We can definitely make that stop to get ya some good ass grub. You've definitely earned a treat.
Pretty Nice Day
......
.........
m-hm!
Yup!
On Little Cat Feet
Back up to the catwalks. The cafe was to the bottom right, so we'll head over there and get our messiah some food but before we forget, let's go back to the garden - we've got everything we need to finish planting that seed.
First, let's add the dirt.
I hope this helps you grow, little seed.
The seed's in the soil, but it looks a bit dry.
Sounds like we need to add water!
Good thinking, Goons!
This water should really help this seed grow.
Yay! We did a good thing! I'm not sure how long it will take, but hopefully something good comes from this.
We're done with the garden, so let's go to the cafe and get Niko her grub.
Did you manage to fix the elevator?
Mhm!
The Goons and I went to the surface already! And...
*Growling noises*
...
Well, I remembered there being a cafe here!
Do you have pancakes?
We sure do!
Wait! I don't have any money...
Maybe I can help you wash dishes... or... something?
No, no! It's on the house!
The least I can do for the savior, right? Here, why don't you take a seat? I'll go fry some up for you.
Into the Light
Thank you so much!
No problem! You looked really hungry.
Yeah... I thought this would be my last chance to eat something before I go in the Tower.
Ah, gotcha.
So I guess pancakes are your favorite food?
Mhm!
Well, almost!
My favorite food in the world are the special pancakes that my mama makes!
She likes to pick hazelnuts and grind them up into the batter.
Oh, wow, that sounds amazing!
They TASTE amazing!
She always make them when I was feeling sad. Or lonely... or...
Mama... I really miss her...
...I just...
I just have a really bad feeling, all of a sudden!
Am I... even here to save the world? People have been saying how the sun won't fix anything!
I don't even know why I'm here...
I just wanna see my mama again...
Oh, uh...
There, there...
It's gonna be okay!
You're a tough kid, you managed to get this far already, right?
Yeah... but...
And you'll get to go home afterwards, right?
Right...
...Hey, want some more pancakes?
It's okay...
I'll be fine...
So... yeah! Thanks for coming by!
Mhm! Thanks for listening...
AND for the pancakes!
No problem. Good luck!
Hang in there, you can do it!
Thanks...
Gosh, poor Niko. The stress of the whole journey is really getting to them. We still don't know what to expect when we go in the Tower, but things have been relatively smooth and easy so far. Surely... there's nothing in the Tower that could stump us... right?
Well... either way, the Tower is all that's left for us. It's time to head over there.
As mentioned, we've seen the pathway to the Tower before. However, until now, we had no reason to go that way. So let's do that this time.
The Tower
Well... this certainly looks ominous enough to be the Tower. There's no other landmarks in this area besides another path that leads back to the library. We have no reason to go that way - our course is clear for the Tower.
From the moment this journey began, we've been told that only the Goons would be able to figure out how to actually get into the Tower. Prophetbot told us, Silver told us, and the journal told us. Well, I'm sure every Goon knows what a red X symbolizes - and what we must do to progress.
See ya'll on the other side...
