Description | |
Rosie Martínez is a mechanical engineer. She is the first person the player meets after they crash into Viridis Primus. She is blind. She is the twin sister of Ramón Martínez.
First contact
The spaceship will crash on the coast of Viridis Primus, and the player will be met with an unnamed character, who will later reveal herself to be Rosie Martínez. The player will then have their first conversation with another character:
- Rosie: ¿Hola? Did you survive that rough landing?
- Just barely! That ship is a death trap!
- I didn't work on the transportation for the colonists. You won't have trouble like that with anything I make you.
- I've had better days, but I'll live.
- I'm glad you're not hurt! It looks like your ship wasn't so lucky.
- Just barely! That ship is a death trap!
- You must be [Player Name]! We've been expecting you. I'm Rosie Martínez. The colony's mechanical engineer. Actually, I'm a space mechanical engineer now. Yeah ... That sounds much more interesting!
The screen will dim and show an image and description of Rosie. Afterwards, dialogue will continue.
- Rosie: I came to check on you and see if we could salvage any of your ship. Do you see any scrap laying around? — (++ friendship.)
The player will then be tasked with locating Scrap. This is not a proper job, because they do not have their interplanetary mail system set up until they meet Jade Washington. There is a piece of Scrap to be picked up just north of the crash site. Picking it up will give the player the This Pun Is Scrap achievement. Rosie will walk up to them and continue the conversation:
- Rosie: ¡Bueno! You found a piece of scrap. That'll come in handy. Keep your eyes open for more wreckage as you explore this planet. We'll need it to build you a shelter. Follow me. There's someone you should meet.
Small talk
Talking with characters outside of job duties can improve the player's relationship with them. Rosie can say any of the following when engaging in small talk with her:
“You can tell a lot about a person based on their favorite tool. What's yours?”
- Wrench!
- I never leave home without mine! — (++ friendship.)
- Definitely clamps.
- Ah, one of the most vital yet under appreciated tools. Good call! — (+ friendship.)
- My computer.
- That’s not quite what I had in mind. — (- friendship.)
- I like hammers!
- That's... nice. — (No effect on friendship.)
“I understand why we needed to pack light ... I just wish I could have brought more tools!”
“Two power inverters, 1/8 inch steel plate, 3/4 inch bolts ... ¡Ay! You startled me. — The relationship bar will fill up slightly. Sorry, [Player Name] ... I have to remember the list of things I need Jade to order. We can talk later! Okay, now that's two power inverters, 3/4 inch steel plate, 1/8 inch bolts ...”
“Hi, [Player Name]! Isn't it strange how you can go days here without seeing anyone else? If you get lonely, feel free to stop by my place. I sure would appreciate the company!”
“We're so far from home ... But this place feels remarkably the same.”
“Do you like it here, [Player Name]?”
- It's too quiet.
- I agree. Good thing we have one another for company!
- It's nice.
- I'm glad you're adjusting to life in space. — (No effect on friendship.)
This instance is a reference to a prior small talk conversation in which Rosie struggles to remember whether to order 1/8 inch steel plates and 3/4 inch bolts or 3/4 inch steel plates and 1/8 inch bolts.
“Jade ordered the wrong materials for me. She swears it's what I told her ... But I couldn't make such a silly mistake. Could I? What will I do with all these 1/8 inch bolts and 3/4 inch steel plates?”
“I love the sound of flowing water. It's so relaxing!”
“Thanks for coming by to chat! I hope we become very good friends. Now get back to work before Jade gets mad at me!”
“Machines speak to me. Not like, "Hi, Rosie, que pasa?" More like "buzz, clunk, beep." What did you think I meant?”
“I don't think there's any problem that can't be solved with technology. Except maybe being rude. We still haven't found a fix for that!”
“Hey, [Player Name]! Did you find anything unusual when you went into the marsh?”
- Yeah, a neat red fungus!
- That's not exactly what I had in mind.
- No, nothing unusual.
- Oh, that's too bad. I was hoping you would.
Whenever I'm out by myself, I could swear that something is watching me! Honestly, I was sure you'd find an alien in the marsh.
- No aliens in there.
- I wonder if my imagintation is getting the better of me?
- Maybe they were hiding?
- I'm not sure if you really believe that, [Player Name], but thanks for not teasing me. — (+ friendship.)
- Aliens? Haha, are you serious!?
- You don't have to make fun of me. I'm positive we aren't alone here. — (- - friendship.)
Relationship progress events
When the player is advancing from one stage (heart) in a relationship to the next, it is done so through an event.
First green heart
The player can acquire the first green heart by entering Rosie's shop.
¿Hola?
- Feel like chatting?
- Come on in. I was just about to take a break.
- Oops! Wrong house.
- Really, [Player Name]?! There are only a few buildings on the entire planet. Come on in. I was just about to take a break.
When I signed up for this trip, I didn't think about how few people would be here. I have my work to keep me busy, but sometimes it's nice to just chat with someone. Jade isn't really big on small talk.
- I hadn't noticed.
- Maybe it is just me then. Plenty of people have told me I talk too much!
- She sure isn't!
- I'm sure she'll warm up to us in time.
So tell me a little about yourself. What brought you to Viridis Primus?
The screen dims, and 1 hour passes.
Thanks for hanging out with me for a bit, [Player Name]. It was nice to have some human interaction. Sorry if I rambled on for too long! I'm just used to having mi hermano around. I miss him quite a bit. He's my twin. Sometimes it feels like half of me is missing without him here. ¡Hijole! Look at the time! I'e kept you from your work for way too long. If Jade asks, we were talking about work, okay? — (Relationship advances to the first green heart.)
Second green heart
The player can reach the second green heart by visiting Rosie's shop between 11 am and 1: 30 pm, when her relationship bar is full and the first green heart has been reached.
¿Quién es?
- Boo!
- ¡Hijole, [Player Name]! That's not nice. You startled me! Since you're already here, why don't you stay for lunch?
- It's me, [Player Name].
- Hi, [Player Name]! Please stay for lunch.
I've prepared something very special today. It's a recipe mi tío taught me. Greasy Gears!
- Sounds delicious!
- That's the spirit! I knew you were the adventurous type. Not to disappoint you, but Greasy Gears is just a goofy name for veggie burgers.
- I've lost my appetite ...
- Don't worry! It's just a goofy name for his veggie burgers.
My uncle has a great sense of humor!
The screen dims, and 2 hours passes.
I never considered that! You'd make a better mechanic than you might think! ¡Hijole! It's getting late!
- I have all day for you!
- That's sweet, but I really have some things I need to finish. — (+ friendship.)
- I'd better go.
- I understand, you've got a lot to do.
Here's his recipe if you'd like to make Greasy Gears yourself sometime! I really enjoyed our chat. We'll have to get together again soon. ¡Adios! — (Unlock new recipe: Veggie Burger.)
Random events
Music Box
When the player first sleeps in their home, Rosie will wake them up to give them a Music Box as a gift. It comes preloaded with the default songs—Background 1, Background 2, Background 3, Eclipse Theme, Adaptive Theme, Adaptive Eclipse Theme—as well as Rosie's Theme. The player will hear a knock on their door as they attempt to wake up, and will have the following conversation with Rosie:
¡Buenos días, [Player Name]! Rise and shine!
- Isn't it kind of early, Rosie?
- Sorry, [Player Name]! I thought everyone was awake by now.
- What time is it?
- Did I wake you? It's time to get up, lazy bones! The early bird catches the worm. Then again, the early worm gets eaten...
I have something for you. I felt awful about your ship exploding and Jade making you pay for it. So I made you this music box. You can use it to play any music discs you receive. I loaded a couple songs to start you off, but I'm sure other people will be more than happy to share their favorites too! I'll let you get ready for the day. ¡Hasta luego, [Player Name]!
Seed Extractor instructions
Although he does not give the player a Seed Extractor directly, Wyatt offers to let the player use the Seed Extractor in his lab. In this conversation, Rosie teaches the player how to use the machine. This occurs in a random event, usually around the time Zaheen Patel arrives. When this occurs, the player leaves their house to find Rosie Martínez and Wyatt talking outside. The following conversation occurs:
