1,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_02200_000020_THANCRED","'Tis I. The situation may be more complicated than we anticipated."
2,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_02200_000030_URIANGER","Indeed. I shall remain watchful."
3,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_02200_000040_URIANGER","Ere thou goest─another matter requireth thine attention. A young maiden, full eager to─"
4,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_02200_000050_URIANGER","Wherefore inquirest thou of her fairness!? Very well. Be she damsel or devil, I shall direct her steps to Revenant's Toll."
5,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_02200_000060_URIANGER","...Save thine insinuations for one given to such impropriety. Thou shalt not find me amenable."
6,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_02200_000070_YUGIRI","(-???-)Far across the sea, from the land of Doma, have we traveled. We seek audience with the ruler of these lands. Who here speaks for you?"
7,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_02200_100010_YUGIRI","We have traveled some several thousand malms across the sea, from the nation of Doma, in hopes that we might find sanctuary in these lands."
8,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_02200_100020_ALPHINAUD","Sanctuary, Lady Yugiri?"
9,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_02200_100030_YUGIRI","Aye. Lying within Othard, Doma was under the dominion of the Garlean Empire, as I am sure you are aware."
10,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_02200_100040_YUGIRI","When the war of succession broke out in Garlemald, we espied an opportunity to free ourselves from the yoke of imperial oppression, and took up arms."
11,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_02200_100050_YUGIRI","...Only to be crushed. And so I gathered what few Domans escaped the reckoning, and guided them hither to your shores."
12,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_02200_100060_ALPHINAUD","A war of succession...? Then the emperor... Forgive me, you said that Doma “was” under imperial rule, did you not?"
13,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_02200_100070_YUGIRI","Doma is gone. Razed to the ground as an example to the other provinces."
14,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_02200_100080_ALPHINAUD","Twelve have mercy... And your people?"
15,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_02200_100090_YUGIRI","On a ship anchored in Vesper Bay, flying borrowed colors."
16,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_02200_100100_YUGIRI","Many were complicit in the rebellion, or are kin to those who were. They will not come ashore until I send word that it is safe to do so."
17,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_02200_100110_YUGIRI","I sought an audience with your rulers, but was summarily refused."
18,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_02200_100120_ALPHINAUD","The lords of Ul'dah are not wont to entertain foreign refugees without suitable encouragement."
19,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_02200_100130_YUGIRI","Mayhap I was foolish to expect otherwise. But our supplies run low, and we have young ones in urgent need of care."
20,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_02200_100140_YUGIRI","I have seen the tents outside the gates, however. We are not the first to seek asylum, nor will we be the last."
21,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_02200_100150_ALPHINAUD","...Be that as it may, Ul'dah is no friend to Garlemald. Your tale would stir the hearts of many men and women here."
22,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_02200_100160_ALPHINAUD","The sultana and the Syndicate will not be so easily swayed─but I shall see that you are granted an opportunity to plead your case."
23,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_02200_100170_YUGIRI","This is within your power?"
24,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_02200_100180_ALPHINAUD","Well...far be it from me to boast, but I do have the ear of certain influential individuals."
25,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_02200_100190_YUGIRI","I am in your debt."
26,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_02200_100200_ALPHINAUD","Lady Yugiri, forgive me for observing, but...your choice of attire seems like to evoke feelings of mistrust."
27,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_02200_100210_YUGIRI","Men are wont to fear the unfamiliar. We know this from experience."
28,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_02200_100220_YUGIRI","We seek only to spare the people of Ul'dah unnecessary disquiet."
29,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_02200_100230_ALPHINAUD","I shall defer to your experience, then."
30,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_02200_100240_YUGIRI","I thank you for your understanding."
31,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_02200_100250_ALPHINAUD","It seems I have urgent business with the Flame General. I leave our guests in your capable hands."
32,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_02200_200000_YUGIRI","I, Yugiri of Doma, am honored to meet you at last, Your Grace. To mark this auspicious occasion, I should like to present to you the finest treasures our humble nation has to offer..."
33,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_02200_200010_YUGIRI","Alas, the circumstances which have brought me here today have divested me of both time and dignity. I come before you as a pauper in direst need of aid─to request that you grant my people asylum."
34,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_02200_200020_NANAMOULNAMO","I, Nanamo, seventeenth in the line of Ul, welcome you to our city. Be at ease, Lady Yugiri."
35,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_02200_200030_NANAMOULNAMO","Although I myself have heard the tale of your misfortune, I would ask that you recount it once more for the benefit of the others here present."
36,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_02200_200040_YUGIRI","As you wish, Your Grace. For many years, my nation, Doma, suffered under the yoke of imperial rule, and my people yearned to be free. Thus, when a war of succession broke out in Garlemald, we sought to take advantage of the chaos and reclaim our liberty."
37,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_02200_200050_YUGIRI","Alas, our enemy proved less preoccupied than we had hoped, and our rebellion was put down in the most brutal fashion."
38,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_02200_200060_RAUBAHN","Those who survived─how many do they number?"
39,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_02200_200070_YUGIRI","More than two hundred souls huddle within the cramped confines of our own galleon's hold. Yet this figure accounts for but one of a number of ships which escaped the purge."
40,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_02200_200080_YUGIRI","It is my hope that you will allow us all to dwell within your walls. Should that prove unfeasible, however, I humbly ask that you accept as many of my people as your resources allow."
41,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_02200_200090_YUGIRI","Pray understand, we do not beg a boon, but propose instead an arrangement. We would serve─as soldiers or tradesmen─until our debt is repaid."
42,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_02200_200100_RAUBAHN","What are the Syndicate's opinions on this matter?"
43,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_02200_200110_TELEDJIADELEDJI","I, for one, think it's a marvelous idea. Lady Yugiri and her people strike me as an industrious lot, and there are parts of the city which have yet to be fully restored. If they are willing to work, I see no reason not to let them."
44,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_02200_200120_ALPHINAUD","The head of the Mirage Trust is not known for his generosity. He sees profit in this."
45,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_02200_200130_RAUBAHN","I agree. That said, these are foreign refugees. To admit them would require a formal resolution. Shall we call a vote?"
46,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_02200_200140_LOLORITO","The law is the law."
47,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_02200_200150_TELEDJIADELEDJI","Lord Lolorito?"
48,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_02200_200160_LOLORITO","Tell me: are you blind or willfully ignorant? Even now, our streets are choked with the displaced victims of the Calamity and Ala Mhigan refugees."
49,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_02200_200170_LOLORITO","They live hand-to-mouth, subsisting on aid provided by the Immortal Flames─the cost of which grows ever higher!"
50,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_02200_200180_LOLORITO","The wealth of Ul'dah is not without limits, my friends."
51,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_02200_200190_LOLORITO","And need I remind you that these refugees are prone to violence and criminal activity? You have all read the reports, I think?"
52,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_02200_200200_LOLORITO","Without homes or employment, it is only a matter of time before men grow desperate and take that which they imagine has been unjustly denied them. Yet, knowing this, you would have us swell their ranks. Mayhap you think the Brass Blades and the Flames are not hard-pressed enough?"
53,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_02200_200210_ALPHINAUD","Some say the chairman of the East Aldenard Trading Company passes gil thrice daily. This may explain how he came to be the wealthiest man in Ul'dah. Or it may simply be that he's ruthless beyond reckoning."
54,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_02200_200220_NANAMOULNAMO","Surely the sultanate can support the few hundred Domans Lady Yugiri represents? That our resources have been taxed I do not deny, but we are hardly in danger of financial collapse."
55,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_02200_200230_NANAMOULNAMO","I move that an exception be made."
56,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_02200_200240_LOLORITO","An exception, Your Grace? I am suddenly reminded of a similar debate some years ago, regarding a number of Ala Mhigan refugees, if memory serves."
57,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_02200_200250_LOLORITO","What were your words that day? Ah, yes: “The law is the law.” And so our visitors remained in Little Ala Mhigo."
58,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_02200_200260_LOLORITO","Mayhap our wise and benevolent sultana would be so good as to enlighten us as to which other of our laws should not be upheld?"
59,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_02200_200270_RAUBAHN","Mind your tongue, Lolorito."
60,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_02200_200280_TELEDJIADELEDJI","My lord, I share your concern for the welfare of our great nation, but we must endeavor to take a longer view. You know as well as I that people can be a resource still more precious than gil."
61,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_02200_200290_LOLORITO","Precious or not, they were never yet so reliable. And unlike those who frequent your establishment, I have no desire to gamble with my future."
62,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_02200_200300_LOLORITO","Ul'dah's greatest asset is, and has ever been, her material wealth. We risk this at our peril."
63,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_02200_200310_LOLORITO","One need only look to Teledji Adeledji's example for evidence of the danger in allowing sentiment to dictate policy."
64,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_02200_200320_LOLORITO","How far the vaunted Mirage hath fallen, both in repute and profitability, since he began employing refugees..."
65,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_02200_200330_TELEDJIADELEDJI","How I choose to conduct my affairs is not your concern, my lord!"
66,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_02200_200340_RAUBAHN","A proposal has been tabled. Given its urgency, I move we forgo further debate and call a vote."
67,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_02200_200350_RAUBAHN","To accept the Doman refugees or not. Those in favor, I bid you remain. Those opposed, I bid you leave."
68,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_02200_200360_NANAMOULNAMO","Would that it were within my power to welcome you and your people, Lady Yugiri. As you have observed, however, my authority in such matters is regrettably limited."
69,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_02200_200370_NANAMOULNAMO","Without the consent of the Syndicate, I cannot act."
70,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_02200_200380_YUGIRI","I understand, Your Grace. And I appreciate all that you have done on our behalf."
71,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_02200_200390_TELEDJIADELEDJI","The nerve of the man... If that bastard had not forsaken the eastern trade route, Little Ala Mhigo would now be thriving."
72,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_02200_200400_TELEDJIADELEDJI","That you should have traveled so far, under such dire circumstances, only to be refused in this manner is utterly unconscionable. Pray accept my sincerest apologies."
73,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_02200_200410_RAUBAHN","Now that the Empire no longer poses an immediate threat, they see little reason to maintain the pretense of unity."
74,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_02200_200420_RAUBAHN","The Monetarists have grown especially defiant of late─Lord Lolorito most of all."
75,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_02200_200430_RAUBAHN","But this is neither the time nor place for that discussion."
76,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_02200_300010_THANCRED","How goes the fishing? Caught anything slippery?"
77,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_02200_300020_YSHTOLA","Aye. Our suspicions were well founded. The Serpent Reavers are indeed the culprits."
78,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_02200_300030_THANCRED","The plot thickens..."
79,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_02200_300040_YSHTOLA","Has there been any movement in Thanalan?"
80,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_02200_300050_THANCRED","It has been blessedly quiet. Which is to say the Amalj'aa are being no more or less of a nuisance than usual, summoning Ifrit with such crystals as they have hoarded."
81,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_02200_300060_THANCRED","Urianger, too, reports naught out of the ordinary."
82,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_02200_300070_YSHTOLA","Then we have our explanation."
83,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_02200_300080_MINFILIA","Your explanation for what, pray tell?"
84,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_02200_300090_YSHTOLA","For the recent spate of crystal thefts in Thanalan. We naturally assumed that the trail would lead us back to the Amalj'aa."
85,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_02200_300100_YSHTOLA","Yet it did not. It led us across the sea unto Vylbrand."
86,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_02200_300110_MINFILIA","Vylbrand...?"
87,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_02200_300120_MINFILIA","There <Emphasis>have</Emphasis> been reports of increased Sahagin activity of late..."
88,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_02200_300130_MINFILIA","Oh gods...they mean to summon Leviathan?"
89,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_02200_300140_YSHTOLA","That is the way of it, I fear."
90,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_02200_300150_YSHTOLA","Whilst conducting our investigation on behalf of the Mineral Concern, we came upon evidence implicating the Serpent Reavers."
91,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_02200_300160_YSHTOLA","With the aid of the Maelstrom, I was able to verify our suspicions. 'Tis only a matter of time before Leviathan returns to harrow the seas."
92,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_02200_300170_YSHTOLA","But there is more. One of the Sahagin─an elder, by my judgment─spoke of attaining the “gift and knowledge of eternity.”"
93,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_02200_300180_MINFILIA","<moan>"
94,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_02200_400010_YSHTOLA","Such a disturbance in the aether... If I did not know better, I should think this device defective."
95,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_02200_400020_YSHTOLA","And there is the explanation..."
96,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_02200_400030_WUUR","Soon! Sssoon it shall begin! Our Lord shall rise 'midst sssurging waves to wash away the finless ones!"
97,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_02200_400040_WUUR","And I shall be granted the gift and knowledge of eternity, and with the emissary ssstand equal! Then shall I know no cesssation, no oblivion!"
98,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_02200_400050_YSHTOLA","...Whence comes this promise of immortality? The emissary?"
99,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_02200_400060_YSHTOLA","We have outstayed our welcome."
100,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_02200_500010_MINFILIA","“The gift...and knowledge.”"
101,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_02200_500020_YSHTOLA","Are the two of you quite well?"
102,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_02200_500030_MINFILIA","You...you shared that vision, did you not?"
103,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_02200_500040_MINFILIA","Even before the Sahagin made mention of the emissary, I recognized Elidibus's words. <Emphasis>He</Emphasis> is behind this."
104,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_02200_500050_MINFILIA","But surely it is not within his power to grant the Echo?"
105,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_02200_500060_YSHTOLA","My lady─unless we act swiftly, Leviathan will rise again. The Admiral has already requested that we intervene to prevent this. Failing that, we are to attend to the primal's extermination."
106,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_02200_500070_MINFILIA","She will have our full cooperation. Let us make haste to Limsa Lominsa."
107,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_02200_500080_MINFILIA","I mean to play a part in this mission. Tataru─pray take charge in my absence."
108,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_02200_500090_THANCRED","My lady, are you sure this is wise?"
109,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_02200_500100_MINFILIA","I am aware of the risks. But there is something I must see with mine own eyes."
110,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_02200_500110_MINFILIA","...The true nature of the Echo."
111,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_02200_500120_THANCRED","Very well. I shall not stand in your way...on the condition that you permit me to accompany you as bodyguard."
112,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_02200_500130_MINFILIA","Your company is ever welcome, Thancred."
113,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_02200_500140_YUGIRI","I take it something ill is afoot?"
114,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_02200_500150_YSHTOLA","Aye. A primal is about to be loosed upon Eorzea."
115,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_02200_500160_YUGIRI","A...primal?"
116,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_02200_500170_YSHTOLA","A godlike being whose very existence is a bane upon the land. We Scions of the Seventh Dawn are sworn to put an end to their kind."
117,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_02200_500180_YUGIRI","I see. Know then that I am learned in the arts of war. In return for the kindness you have shown my people, I would lend you my blade."
118,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_02200_500190_YSHTOLA","It would be most welcome. When contending with a primal, one can never have too many able allies."
119,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_02200_500200_YSHTOLA","If you crave a more intimate understanding of the problems facing Eorzea, this experience is like to provide it. Be sure to come well prepared."

121,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_02200_600030_THANCRED","Did I miss much?"

123,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_02200_600050_YUGIRI","Yah."
124,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_02200_600060_THANCRED","So that is how you fight in the Far East? Mental note: pick no quarrel with Domans."
125,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_02200_600070_THANCRED","But seriously: if I am to keep up, I must needs forsake elegance for efficiency."

50 46 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02200_200140_LOLORITO The law is the law.
51 47 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02200_200150_TELEDJIADELEDJI Lord Lolorito?
52 48 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02200_200160_LOLORITO Tell me: are you blind or willfully ignorant? Even now, our streets are choked with the displaced victims of the Calamity and Ala Mhigan refugees.
53 49 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02200_200170_LOLORITO They live hand-to-mouth, subsisting on aid provided by the Immortal Flames─the cost of which grows ever higher!
54 50 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02200_200180_LOLORITO The wealth of Ul'dah is not without limits, my friends.
55 51 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02200_200190_LOLORITO And need I remind you that these refugees are prone to violence and criminal activity? You have all read the reports, I think?
56 52 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02200_200200_LOLORITO Without homes or employment, it is only a matter of time before men grow desperate and take that which they imagine has been unjustly denied them. Yet, knowing this, you would have us swell their ranks. Mayhap you think the Brass Blades and the Flames are not hard-pressed enough?
57 53 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02200_200210_ALPHINAUD Some say the chairman of the East Aldenard Trading Company passes gil thrice daily. This may explain how he came to be the wealthiest man in Ul'dah. Or it may simply be that he's ruthless beyond reckoning.
58 54 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02200_200220_NANAMOULNAMO Surely the sultanate can support the few hundred Domans Lady Yugiri represents? That our resources have been taxed I do not deny, but we are hardly in danger of financial collapse.
59 55 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02200_200230_NANAMOULNAMO I move that an exception be made.
60 56 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02200_200240_LOLORITO An exception, Your Grace? I am suddenly reminded of a similar debate some years ago, regarding a number of Ala Mhigan refugees, if memory serves.
61 57 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02200_200250_LOLORITO What were your words that day? Ah, yes: “The law is the law.” And so our visitors remained in Little Ala Mhigo.
62 58 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02200_200260_LOLORITO Mayhap our wise and benevolent sultana would be so good as to enlighten us as to which other of our laws should not be upheld?
63 59 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02200_200270_RAUBAHN Mind your tongue, Lolorito.
64 60 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02200_200280_TELEDJIADELEDJI My lord, I share your concern for the welfare of our great nation, but we must endeavor to take a longer view. You know as well as I that people can be a resource still more precious than gil.
65 61 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02200_200290_LOLORITO Precious or not, they were never yet so reliable. And unlike those who frequent your establishment, I have no desire to gamble with my future.
66 62 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02200_200300_LOLORITO Ul'dah's greatest asset is, and has ever been, her material wealth. We risk this at our peril.
67 63 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02200_200310_LOLORITO One need only look to Teledji Adeledji's example for evidence of the danger in allowing sentiment to dictate policy.
68 64 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02200_200320_LOLORITO How far the vaunted Mirage hath fallen, both in repute and profitability, since he began employing refugees...
69 65 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02200_200330_TELEDJIADELEDJI How I choose to conduct my affairs is not your concern, my lord!
70 66 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02200_200340_RAUBAHN A proposal has been tabled. Given its urgency, I move we forgo further debate and call a vote.
71 67 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02200_200350_RAUBAHN To accept the Doman refugees or not. Those in favor, I bid you remain. Those opposed, I bid you leave.
72 68 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02200_200360_NANAMOULNAMO Would that it were within my power to welcome you and your people, Lady Yugiri. As you have observed, however, my authority in such matters is regrettably limited.
73 69 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02200_200370_NANAMOULNAMO Without the consent of the Syndicate, I cannot act.
74 70 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02200_200380_YUGIRI I understand, Your Grace. And I appreciate all that you have done on our behalf.
75 71 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02200_200390_TELEDJIADELEDJI The nerve of the man... If that bastard had not forsaken the eastern trade route, Little Ala Mhigo would now be thriving.
76 72 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02200_200400_TELEDJIADELEDJI That you should have traveled so far, under such dire circumstances, only to be refused in this manner is utterly unconscionable. Pray accept my sincerest apologies.
77 73 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02200_200410_RAUBAHN Now that the Empire no longer poses an immediate threat, they see little reason to maintain the pretense of unity.
78 74 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02200_200420_RAUBAHN The Monetarists have grown especially defiant of late─Lord Lolorito most of all.
79 75 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02200_200430_RAUBAHN But this is neither the time nor place for that discussion.

81 77 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02200_300020_YSHTOLA Aye. Our suspicions were well founded. The Serpent Reavers are indeed the culprits.
82 78 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02200_300030_THANCRED The plot thickens...
83 79 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02200_300040_YSHTOLA Has there been any movement in Thanalan?
84 80 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02200_300050_THANCRED It has been blessedly quiet. Which is to say the Amalj'aa are being no more or less of a nuisance than usual, summoning Ifrit with such crystals as they have hoarded.
85 81 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02200_300060_THANCRED Urianger, too, reports naught out of the ordinary.
86 82 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02200_300070_YSHTOLA Then we have our explanation.
87 83 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02200_300080_MINFILIA Your explanation for what, pray tell?
88 84 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02200_300090_YSHTOLA For the recent spate of crystal thefts in Thanalan. We naturally assumed that the trail would lead us back to the Amalj'aa.
89 85 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02200_300100_YSHTOLA Yet it did not. It led us across the sea unto Vylbrand.
90 86 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02200_300110_MINFILIA Vylbrand...?
91 87 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02200_300120_MINFILIA There <Emphasis>have</Emphasis> been reports of increased Sahagin activity of late...
92 88 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02200_300130_MINFILIA Oh gods...they mean to summon Leviathan?
93 89 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02200_300140_YSHTOLA That is the way of it, I fear.
94 90 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02200_300150_YSHTOLA Whilst conducting our investigation on behalf of the Mineral Concern, we came upon evidence implicating the Serpent Reavers.
95 91 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02200_300160_YSHTOLA With the aid of the Maelstrom, I was able to verify our suspicions. 'Tis only a matter of time before Leviathan returns to harrow the seas.
96 92 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02200_300170_YSHTOLA But there is more. One of the Sahagin─an elder, by my judgment─spoke of attaining the “gift and knowledge of eternity.”
97 93 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02200_300180_MINFILIA <moan>
98 94 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02200_400010_YSHTOLA Such a disturbance in the aether... If I did not know better, I should think this device defective.
99 95 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02200_400020_YSHTOLA And there is the explanation...
100 96 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02200_400030_WUUR Soon! Sssoon it shall begin! Our Lord shall rise 'midst sssurging waves to wash away the finless ones!
101 97 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02200_400040_WUUR And I shall be granted the gift and knowledge of eternity, and with the emissary ssstand equal! Then shall I know no cesssation, no oblivion!
102 98 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02200_400050_YSHTOLA ...Whence comes this promise of immortality? The emissary?
103 99 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02200_400060_YSHTOLA We have outstayed our welcome.
104 100 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02200_500010_MINFILIA “The gift...and knowledge.”

107 103 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02200_500040_MINFILIA Even before the Sahagin made mention of the emissary, I recognized Elidibus's words. <Emphasis>He</Emphasis> is behind this.
108 104 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02200_500050_MINFILIA But surely it is not within his power to grant the Echo?
109 105 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02200_500060_YSHTOLA My lady─unless we act swiftly, Leviathan will rise again. The Admiral has already requested that we intervene to prevent this. Failing that, we are to attend to the primal's extermination.
110 106 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02200_500070_MINFILIA She will have our full cooperation. Let us make haste to Limsa Lominsa.
111 107 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02200_500080_MINFILIA I mean to play a part in this mission. Tataru─pray take charge in my absence.
112 108 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02200_500090_THANCRED My lady, are you sure this is wise?
113 109 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02200_500100_MINFILIA I am aware of the risks. But there is something I must see with mine own eyes.
114 110 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02200_500110_MINFILIA ...The true nature of the Echo.
115 111 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02200_500120_THANCRED Very well. I shall not stand in your way...on the condition that you permit me to accompany you as bodyguard.
116 112 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02200_500130_MINFILIA Your company is ever welcome, Thancred.

118 114 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02200_500150_YSHTOLA Aye. A primal is about to be loosed upon Eorzea.
119 115 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02200_500160_YUGIRI A...primal?
120 116 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02200_500170_YSHTOLA A godlike being whose very existence is a bane upon the land. We Scions of the Seventh Dawn are sworn to put an end to their kind.
121 117 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02200_500180_YUGIRI I see. Know then that I am learned in the arts of war. In return for the kindness you have shown my people, I would lend you my blade.
122 118 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02200_500190_YSHTOLA It would be most welcome. When contending with a primal, one can never have too many able allies.
123 119 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02200_500200_YSHTOLA If you crave a more intimate understanding of the problems facing Eorzea, this experience is like to provide it. Be sure to come well prepared.
124 120 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02200_600010_YSHTOLA Damn them... They have made thralls of soldiers and civilians both...
125 121 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02200_600030_THANCRED Did I miss much?
126 122 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02200_600040_YUGIRI Hah.

156 152 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02200_700230_MERLWYB Gather the survivors and get to shore. Leave the wrecks for the pirates.
157 153 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02200_700240_MERLWYB Leviathan wastes no time. The diversionary squadron is lost.
158 154 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02200_700250_MERLWYB For a mercy, 'twould seem the primal now makes for open sea. But why does he not press his advantage? Unless...
159 155 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02200_700260_MERLWYB Gods save us, he means to unleash a tidal wave!
160 156 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02200_800010_MERLWYB There used to be a hamlet beyond South Tidegate in western La Noscea. Halfstone, 'twas called.
161 157 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02200_800020_MERLWYB Some years prior to the Maelstrom's founding, Leviathan rose from the briny depths, and set about unleashing watery hell upon us. On that occasion, the Company of Heroes put him down before he could do too much damage.
162 158 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02200_800030_MERLWYB But when the bastard came next, this time in the wake of the Calamity, we were not so fortunate. Weary of ravaging our shoreline, he summoned a tidal wave which fair leveled Halfstone, and washed the soil away for good measure.
163 159 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02200_800040_YSHTOLA The area was subsequently occupied by the Sahagin.
164 160 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02200_800050_MERLWYB Aye, the thrice-damned creatures transformed it into a spawning ground for their brood.
165 161 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02200_800060_MERLWYB Given the quantity of crystals stolen to feed him and his legion of thralls, we can be fairly sure that Leviathan is stronger now than in his previous incarnations.
166 162 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02200_800070_MERLWYB If that sea demon is left to wreak havoc, what befell Halfstone may well befall a larger settlement─even Limsa.
167 163 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02200_800080_MERLWYB That <Emphasis>cannot</Emphasis> happen. The primal must be stopped.
168 164 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02200_800090_THANCRED That was ever our objective, Admiral. But how are we to achieve it?
169 165 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02200_800100_THANCRED The sea is Leviathan's uncontested domain. The ships of the Third Squadron could not close to within a hundred yalms of the primal, nor could their cannons pierce his defenses.
170 166 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02200_800110_MERLWYB I have read the reports, Master Thancred. Our warships may as well have been bloody pleasure barges for all the good they did. Seven hells... Is there no way that we might strike back?
171 167 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02200_800120_YSHTOLA The Company of Heroes defeated Leviathan having first lured him into an inlet, but we must needs contend with him upon the open sea. It will avail us little to consult past experience.
172 168 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02200_800130_EYNZAHRSLAFYRSYN Admiral, if I may.
173 169 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02200_800140_MERLWYB Speak freely, Marshal.
174 170 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02200_800150_EYNZAHRSLAFYRSYN By all accounts, Leviathan's most formidable weapon is the very sea itself. Waves and whirlpools, tides and currents─all these things are his to command. The key to victory, I believe, lies in disarming our foe.
175 171 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02200_800160_EYNZAHRSLAFYRSYN This, in effect, is what the Company of Heroes achieved with their ruse. We cannot lure Leviathan from the sea a second time, but what if we could weaken his hold upon the element of water? I have heard of devices capable of such wonders. They draw upon the power of corrupted crystals, I am told.
176 172 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02200_800170_EYNZAHRSLAFYRSYN If mounted upon a ship, such a device might be used to prevent Leviathan from bringing the full force of the sea to bear against us, rendering him no more dangerous than any other sea serpent.
177 173 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02200_800180_MINFILIA Of course... Cid built a similar device to grant the <Emphasis>Enterprise</Emphasis> safe passage through Garuda's tempest, did he not?
178 174 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02200_800190_EYNZAHRSLAFYRSYN Begging your pardon, my lady, but to give credit where it's due, this is something I heard from an old arcanist friend of mine.
179 175 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02200_800200_MERLWYB It makes little difference who thought of it first, so long as it works. Beg the specifications of this device from your friend, and I shall pass them on to our people at Naldiq & Vymelli's.
180 176 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02200_800210_MERLWYB But before we proceed any further, I would voice one concern: piercing Garuda's defenses is one thing, suppressing Leviathan's attacks quite another.
181 177 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02200_800220_MERLWYB In matters of science, I am as a babbling babe, but I cannot well imagine that such a feat would be possible without a veritable mountain of corrupted crystals.
182 178 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02200_800230_MERLWYB The question being: do we have a ship big enough to bear such a burden?
183 179 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02200_800240_EYNZAHRSLAFYRSYN Mayhap not, Admiral. But two might. Recall you the tale of Mistbeard's greatest haul? It is said that he lashed two ships together, side by side, the better to bear his plunder.
184 180 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02200_800250_EYNZAHRSLAFYRSYN By your leave, we might attempt to repeat the trick. The gods know, it would be quicker than building a new vessel.
185 181 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02200_800260_MERLWYB Mistbeard did this? Truly, Marshal, upon the subject of the pirate king, you are as a scholar.
186 182 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02200_800270_EYNZAHRSLAFYRSYN Now, from what I have gleaned of these matters, the device will need to be in close and constant proximity to the target. To wit, we must lash our twin vessel to Leviathan.
187 183 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02200_800280_EYNZAHRSLAFYRSYN This in itself will be no small feat. Ramming speed will be required, but given the weight of the cargo, that will only be attainable with the aid of a towing vessel...
188 184 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02200_800290_EYNZAHRSLAFYRSYN Suffice it to say, the task of piloting said vessel will entail considerable danger, and I would not ask it of another. I volunteer myself.
189 185 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02200_800300_MERLWYB 'Twill be dangerous for all involved...but we have no better recourse. Very well.

191 187 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02200_800320_MERLWYB Give priority to our soundest vessels. The repairs can wait.
192 188 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02200_800330_MERLWYB Storm Marshal Slafyrsyn, command of the operation is yours. I want that twin vessel ready to sail posthaste.
193 189 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02200_800340_EYNZAHRSLAFYRSYN At once, Admiral!
194 190 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02200_800350_MERLWYB And then there is the small matter of slaying the beast... The fate of Limsa Lominsa rests upon your shoulders once again. Go well, Warrior of Light.
195 191 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02200_900010_MERLWYB We Lominsans are sworn to strive “Till sea swallows all”─and swallow all it would have, had Leviathan prevailed. That we still strive now, we owe in no small part to you.
196 192 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02200_900020_MERLWYB Not for the first time, you have delivered Limsa Lominsa from the wrath of a primal. Never has our nation known a stouter ally.
197 193 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02200_900030_MERLWYB On behalf of my people, I give you my humblest thanks.
198 194 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02200_900040_MERLWYB 'Tis meet that I give thanks to old Mistbeard, too, for his fine solution. Whatever else he may have been, 'tis clear he was a resourceful soul. Would that I had a man like him in my service.
199 195 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02200_900050_YUGIRI Before I set foot in these lands, I had no inkling that the people of Eorzea contended with such mighty foes. Suffice it to say, their existence came as something of a shock─as did the idea that they could be defeated.
200 196 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02200_900060_YUGIRI This experience has served to remind me of the vastness of the world...and the boundless potential of man.
201 197 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02200_900070_YUGIRI Though I am but a refugee in this realm, I would fain be of use to you in your fight.
202 198 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02200_900080_YUGIRI Know that I am tutored in one of the foremost combat arts of the Far East. It may seem...outlandish to the Eorzean eye, but should any of your people care to learn, I would be pleased to initiate them.
203 199 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02200_900090_MERLWYB And I will see to it that they are grateful. I have no doubt that your knowledge and skills will serve us well.
204 200 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02200_900100_MERLWYB Besides, your art is not so outlandish as you think. Would you not agree, Master Thancred?
205 201 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02200_900110_THANCRED Naught escapes your searching eye, Admiral.
206 202 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02200_900120_THANCRED Few are privy to this information, but Limsa Lominsa is home to a certain...secret fraternity. Its members are trained in a form of combat not unlike your own.
207 203 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02200_900130_THANCRED By my judgment, it should not be beyond such individuals to adapt to the techniques I witnessed you employing with such admirable deftness.
208 204 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02200_900140_YUGIRI I am heartened to hear this. I, too, noted a kinship between your style and mine own. Though it seemed to me that you fought differently in the beginning.
209 205 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02200_900150_THANCRED A-Aye, I suppose I did... What can I say? I am a man of many talents. Hahaha...
210 206 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02200_900160_YSHTOLA Though you may labor to believe it, Thancred was once something of a scoundrel, who fraternized with the criminal class in these parts.
211 207 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02200_900170_THANCRED Y-Y'shtola! You jest, of course!
212 208 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02200_900180_MINFILIA But for a chance encounter with Alphinaud's grandsire, he might never have left Limsa Lominsa; or received an education in Sharlayan; or taken up his post in Ul'dah─which is where he trained in the blade, lest you wonder.
213 209 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02200_900190_THANCRED Minfilia─please!
214 210 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02200_900200_YUGIRI It would seem there is more to you than meets the eye, Master Thancred.
215 211 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02200_900210_MERLWYB Lady Yugiri─I am told that you and yours came to Eorzea seeking permanent resettlement, and that many Domans have since been engaged as frontier hands at Revenant's Toll. Mor Dhona is many things, but a place of refuge it is not.
216 212 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02200_900220_MERLWYB Know that I would like nothing better than to furnish your people with a new home here on Lominsan soil. Alas, racked by instability as we are, our nation is in no fit state to take you in.
217 213 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02200_900230_MERLWYB Yet I'll not have it said that we turned a blind eye to your suffering. Until such time as we can do more, I pledge to send provisions.
218 214 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02200_900240_YUGIRI We are in your debt, Admiral. I realize that it scarce qualifies as repayment, but if it please you, I shall set about sharing my martial knowledge with your people at once.
219 215 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02200_900250_MERLWYB You wished a word in private.
220 216 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02200_900260_YSHTOLA The better not to spoil the festive mood.
221 217 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02200_900270_YSHTOLA History repeats itself, Admiral. As the kobolds did before them, the Sahagin resorted to summoning their god over a territorial feud. They acted in self-preservation.
222 218 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02200_900280_YSHTOLA It may be that the Sahagin initiated this particular clash, but how it begins does not interest me so much as how it ends.
223 219 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02200_900290_MERLWYB I have not forgotten our conversation, Y'shtola. I am aware that man bears part of the blame for the primals' existence.
224 220 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02200_900300_MERLWYB Nor am I ignorant of the Sahagin's reason for acting. They sought to secure a place to breed and multiply, that their kind might survive. Self-preservation, as you say.
225 221 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02200_900310_MERLWYB But we have as much right to live and thrive as they. If our own survival is threatened, are we to lay down our arms and welcome oblivion? Nay.
226 222 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02200_900320_YSHTOLA And so you kill, that you might live. Yet if living is a right, then that right belongs to all peoples, be they men or beastmen.
227 223 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02200_900330_MERLWYB I'll not deny your reasoning. But when a storm gathers, it falls to me to see my people safely through it. That is my duty, and I shall do it.
228 224 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02200_900340_YSHTOLA As must we all, Admiral. Stay the course, then, but know that it will lead to no good end.
229 225 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02200_900350_YUGIRI Man has ever put himself first and foremost.
230 226 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02200_900360_YUGIRI To justify his actions, he clads himself in the armor of righteousness─though it be a fancy of his own making. In this, mayhap the Garleans and we Domans are not so different...
231 227 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02200_900370_MERLWYB Eorzea has become as a raging sea. If we are to keep our heads above the waves, we cannot scruple to drown the man next to us.
232 228 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02200_900380_MERLWYB When hopes of coexistence founder, strength must determine who has the greater right to live.
233 229 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02200_A00010_MINFILIA I have been reflecting upon the events which took place during our visit to Vylbrand.
234 230 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02200_A00020_MINFILIA If you have a moment, I would share my conclusions with you. Please bear with me.
235 231 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02200_A00030_MINFILIA When the Sahagin elder summoned Leviathan, he employed the power we have come to know as the Echo.
236 232 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02200_A00040_MINFILIA Though I cannot well explain the how of it, it would seem he became immortal in so doing.
237 233 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02200_A00050_MINFILIA When the Admiral subsequently slew him, his spirit emerged from his lifeless flesh, a consciousness shorn of physical form.
238 234 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02200_A00060_MINFILIA Thus transfigured, he took up residence in the body of his minion with the ease of a man donning a favorite glove.
239 235 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02200_A00070_MINFILIA Long have I known that the Echo allows one to pass through the walls of a man's soul.
240 236 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02200_A00080_MINFILIA But never did I imagine that it could free us from our own flesh, nor less that our souls could then occupy the next corporeal vessel to take our fancy.
241 237 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02200_A00090_MINFILIA It was of this that Elidibus spoke─an existence which knows neither cessation nor oblivion.
242 238 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02200_A00100_MINFILIA And yet, though the Sahagin had mastered his gift and thereby become immortal, he was by no means invulnerable.
243 239 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02200_A00110_MINFILIA As we both bore witness, he was ultimately absorbed into Leviathan.
244 240 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02200_A00120_MINFILIA And the import of this observation? If the Ascians' mode of existence is indeed the same, it can be inferred that they, too, are not invulnerable─that they <Emphasis>can</Emphasis> be destroyed.
245 241 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02200_A00130_MINFILIA There exists a legend which tells of souls who are reborn upon the cusp of each Umbral Calamity, that they might stay the encroaching Darkness.
246 242 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02200_A00140_MINFILIA To most, it is but a faerie tale, yet recent events have given me cause to wonder: could the legend in fact refer to the Echo?
247 243 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02200_A00150_MINFILIA Much and more yet remains unknown, but I am confident that all will become clear in time.
248 244 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02200_A00160_MINFILIA For the present, however, what matters is that the key to defeating the Ascians may at last be within sight.
249 245 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02200_A00170_MINFILIA With Urianger's aid, it is my hope that I shall fathom this matter ere long.
250 246 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02200_A00180_MINFILIA Ah! I was just about to send for you, my friend. ...Is aught amiss?

254 250 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02200_A00220_URIANGER My lady...the Isle of Val, which for many years hath been the order's home, is no more.
255 251 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02200_A00230_MINFILIA No more? Whatever do you mean?
256 252 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02200_A00240_URIANGER I relate only that which hath been conveyed unto me by our agents. An aetheric wave of the highest magnitude was recorded in the region. Soon thereafter, 'twas observed that the isle had ceased to be.

4 0 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02300_000010_ALPHINAUD Come, you must have gathered by now that Tataru is given to exaggeration. As you can see, I am quite well.
5 1 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02300_000020_ALPHINAUD Ul'dah, on the other hand, is not. This riot was anything but an isolated incident.
6 2 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02300_000030_ALPHINAUD There is a restlessness in the air. Tensions long simmering are at last threatening to boil over.
7 3 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02300_000040_ALPHINAUD Ul'dah is a nation infamous for the great disparity between the wealthy and the poor. The majority of the populace accepts this state of affairs because they believe that every man bears responsibility for his own lot in life.
8 4 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02300_000050_ALPHINAUD To an Ul'dahn, money is the foremost─and some would say the <Emphasis>only</Emphasis>─measure of a man's worth. Small wonder that the wealthiest wield the greatest influence.
9 5 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02300_000060_ALPHINAUD So where do the refugees fit into this social hierarchy? What place is there for those who fled Ala Mhigo and the destruction of the Calamity?
10 6 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02300_000070_ALPHINAUD Plainly, there <Emphasis>is</Emphasis> none. They have no wealth, no power, and no worth. To the Ul'dahn way of thinking, they may as well not exist.
11 7 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02300_000080_ALPHINAUD Choosing to ignore their existence, however, is patently not an option. General Raubahn and the sultana understand this, which is why they ordered the Immortal Flames to provide the refugees aid and succor.
12 8 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02300_000090_ALPHINAUD Yet none would dispute that the expenses incurred by this policy grow by the day, with no end in sight.
13 9 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02300_000100_ALPHINAUD This has prompted more and more Ul'dahns to question their obligation to aid these worthless wanderers...
14 10 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02300_000110_ALPHINAUD While more and more refugees have come to resent their treatment at the hands of the sneering citizenry.
15 11 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02300_000120_ALPHINAUD The manner of Lord Lolorito's refusal to grant the Domans asylum bespoke a disdain for all refugees─an attitude shared by the rest of the Monetarists. And you may be sure they make no effort to conceal their opinions.
16 12 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02300_000130_ALPHINAUD It was only a matter of time before the refugees united in protest. Nor is it any surprise that some among them would ultimately resort to violence.
17 13 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02300_000140_ALPHINAUD That the Immortal Flames should choose this of all occasions to engage in joint training exercises with the other Grand Companies... By the time they return, the situation may well have deteriorated beyond mending.
18 14 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02300_100010_RAUBAHN Commander Swift has kept us apprised of your recent activities. You've made great strides towards quelling the violence.
19 15 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02300_100020_ALPHINAUD Despite our best efforts to determine what provoked this uprising, the truth continues to elude us. Have you uncovered aught which might shed some light on the mystery?
20 16 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02300_100030_RAUBAHN This information does not leave this room.
21 17 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02300_100040_RAUBAHN The Syndicate's decision to reject the Doman refugees' appeal for asylum had lasting repercussions. A number of those displaced by the Calamity claimed it was proof of a policy of discrimination.
22 18 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02300_100050_RAUBAHN Together with a group of Ala Mhigan refugees, they organized a series of demonstrations to protest against the sultanate.
23 19 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02300_100060_RAUBAHN Demonstrations which became heated, but did not descend into violence.
24 20 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02300_100070_RAUBAHN Until a certain incident served as a call to arms.
25 21 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02300_100080_NANAMOULNAMO A unit of Brass Blades sent to supervise a demonstration loosed arrows upon unarmed protesters.
26 22 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02300_100090_NANAMOULNAMO It was this atrocity which prompted the refugees to take up arms. I need not tell you what followed.
27 23 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02300_100100_RAUBAHN We assumed at first that the attack was born of a miscommunication. When emotions run high, they happen. But suspicions were raised regarding the unit's commanding officer, whom I ordered interrogated.
28 24 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02300_100110_RAUBAHN Sure enough, our fears were soon confirmed. The dog confessed that a merchant had offered him coin to give the order─a merchant in the employ of Teledji Adeledji.
29 25 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02300_100120_ALPHINAUD Teledji Adeledji?
30 26 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02300_100130_ALPHINAUD But he spoke in favor of the Domans' cause, and has ever seemed sympathetic towards the refugees' plight. Why would he do such a thing?
31 27 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02300_100140_RAUBAHN Know you of the Carteneau Reclamation Bill?
32 28 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02300_100150_RAUBAHN It is a proposal to annex the Carteneau Flats so that refugees may establish permanent settlements.
33 29 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02300_100160_ALPHINAUD When last I looked, that was disputed territory.
34 30 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02300_100170_RAUBAHN Aye. Some might even call it a battlefield.
35 31 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02300_200010_RAUBAHN The destruction wrought by Bahamut was greatest at the Carteneau Flats. That much is common knowledge.
36 32 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02300_200020_RAUBAHN What is less well known is that his rampage laid bare ancient Allagan ruins, of which no record existed.
37 33 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02300_200030_RAUBAHN There are certain...differences of opinion as to how these ruins should be handled, which is why each nation maintains a military presence in the region to this day.
38 34 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02300_200040_RAUBAHN Yet differ though we may, we are still allies. Therefore, in the interest of preserving the Eorzean Alliance, we have reached an agreement.
39 35 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02300_200050_RAUBAHN Any conflict which may arise during the course of military exercises in the region shall have no bearing on relations between our nations.
40 36 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02300_200060_RAUBAHN In full knowledge of this delicate state of affairs, Teledji Adeledji proposed the Carteneau Reclamation Bill.
41 37 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02300_200070_RAUBAHN A shameless bloody ruse which stands to benefit him in but one conceivable way.
42 38 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02300_200080_RAUBAHN If successful, he will gain control over the disputed territory, under the guise of assisting in the resettlement effort. And you can be sure he'll build an orphanage next to every Allagan ruin.
43 39 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02300_200090_NANAMOULNAMO The man would threaten the unity of the Eorzean Alliance and risk countless lives for personal gain!
44 40 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02300_200100_RAUBAHN He walks a path all his own, independent of any faction, and beholden to none of his fellows on the Syndicate.
45 41 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02300_200110_NANAMOULNAMO By inciting the less fortunate to violence, he hopes to convince others that the Carteneau Reclamation Bill is the only viable solution.
46 42 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02300_200120_NANAMOULNAMO His sympathy for the plight of the Domans was naught but posturing to gain credibility with the refugees. Of that there can be no doubt.
47 43 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02300_300010_ALPHINAUD Forgive me, but what could possibly motivate Teledji Adeledji to go to such lengths? What is so special about these ruins that he would risk his position on the Syndicate, and, most likely, charges of treason against the sultanate?
48 44 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02300_300020_NANAMOULNAMO Omega...
49 45 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02300_300030_ALPHINAUD Pardon?
50 46 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02300_300040_RAUBAHN An Allagan monstrosity, not unlike the Ultima Weapon. Mayhap larger. We know not. It has yet to be fully excavated.
51 47 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02300_300050_RAUBAHN Allagan inscriptions indicate that it was created to fell Bahamut himself.
52 48 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02300_300060_RAUBAHN If accurate, it might explain why Nael van Darnus chose to bring the red moon down upon the Carteneau Flats.
53 49 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02300_300070_RAUBAHN Given the ends he went to to ensure Eorzea's annihilation, destroying the one weapon which could stay the elder primal may well have seemed like good sense.
54 50 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02300_300080_ALPHINAUD When first I bore witness to the power of the Ultima Weapon, I doubted the evidence of my senses... And now you tell me there is another such weapon─one which could contend with Bahamut. <Emphasis>Bahamut</Emphasis>.
55 51 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02300_300090_RAUBAHN Aye. We were skeptical ourselves. Truth be told, until the Ultima Weapon's existence came to light, we thought the inscription had been mistranslated.
56 52 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02300_300100_NANAMOULNAMO At present, Omega is more akin to a fossil than a tool of war, having long since ceased to function. As such, its true potential cannot accurately be gauged.
57 53 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02300_300110_NANAMOULNAMO However, if someone were to restore it, as the Garleans did the Ultima Weapon, I have little doubt that he would wield untold power.
58 54 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02300_300120_RAUBAHN Power enough to subjugate Ul'dah, like as not, and the rest of Eorzea besides─which is doubtless why Teledji Adeledji yearns to have it.
59 55 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02300_300130_NANAMOULNAMO That <Emphasis>he</Emphasis> should aspire to world domination... He who has ever walked two paces behind Lord Lolorito in matters of commerce.
60 56 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02300_300140_RAUBAHN 'Tis in acknowledgement of his own limitations that he seeks this power. Woe betide us all should we allow him to have it.
61 57 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02300_300150_NANAMOULNAMO Pray waste no time chasing rats. Only a fool would believe that secrets can be kept in Ul'dah.
62 58 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02300_300160_ALPHINAUD It would seem the implications of the sultanate's refugee problem are rather more far-reaching than we assumed...
63 59 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02300_400010_HAURCHEFANT The incident with the new frontier hands? No, no, you need not elaborate─I have been following their progress with no small amount of interest.
64 60 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02300_400020_HAURCHEFANT Brave men and women all... They do our nation a great service. The existence of a fortified outpost in Mor Dhona will do much to dissuade the Empire from trespassing on Coerthan soil.
65 61 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02300_400030_HAURCHEFANT Right glad am I that you have chosen to lend your support to this endeavor. Never let it be said that House Fortemps does not acknowledge the efforts of her allies...or her debts.
66 62 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02300_400040_HAURCHEFANT 'Twas in the spirit of gratitude that I arranged for sundry supplies to be delivered to Revenant's Toll. That the shipment should chance to be waylaid by heretics is poor fortune, indeed.
67 63 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02300_400050_HAURCHEFANT Poor fortune, I say...yet not without precedent. If you would know the truth of it, these incorrigible villains grow more organized with each passing day.
68 64 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02300_400060_HAURCHEFANT This new unity of purpose we attribute to their leader─the Lady “Iceheart.” But though I have devoted significant resources to the task of identifying this woman, we have yet to learn so much as her birthname.
69 65 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02300_400070_HAURCHEFANT What we <Emphasis>do</Emphasis> know is that the heretics speak of Iceheart in reverent tones, and would gladly embrace death rather than betray her. Such loyalty is rare indeed, and I fear to imagine what so committed a collective might achieve.
70 66 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02300_400080_HAURCHEFANT The brigands have not yet been so brazen as to risk direct confrontation here in Dragonhead. Some few of their number have, however, been sighted not far to the west of here...and with ever-increasing regularity.
71 67 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02300_400090_HAURCHEFANT A visit to Whitebrim Front may bring you the answers you seek. Will you brave the snows knowing what implacable foes may lie in wait?
72 68 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02300_400100_HAURCHEFANT Halone's blessings be upon you! Though I take no pride in the admission, many of mine own countrymen are not so well suited as you adventurers to dealing with such foes. Were they dragons, it might be otherwise!
73 69 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02300_400110_HAURCHEFANT But truly, I could not wish for a finer ally. You have done much for my house in the past, and I have no doubt but that I shall have cause to celebrate your deeds again ere long.
74 70 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02300_400120_HAURCHEFANT Should you learn aught of value, pray return to me forthwith. A warm hearth and a warmer welcome shall be waiting for you.
75 71 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02300_500010_YSAYLE (-???-)Hmph...
76 72 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02300_600010_HAURCHEFANT Your return is most timely. Of their own accord, my thoughts had turned to your task and the progress thereof. I confess, my imaginings tended toward the grim and bloody.
77 73 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02300_600020_HAURCHEFANT But you are here now, and I suspect such frivolous wonderings do little justice to the reality of your travails. Tell me, what did you learn of Iceheart?
78 74 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02300_600030_HAURCHEFANT ...Indeed. And this transpired at Snowcloak?
79 75 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02300_600040_HAURCHEFANT Of all the highlands, that towering wall has borne the worst of the region's brutal shift in climate.
80 76 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02300_600050_HAURCHEFANT So inhospitable has Snowcloak become that we have still to survey the area in its entirety. Could its frozen heights conceal the heretics' hideaway? Mayhap a more robust reconnaissance effort is in order.
81 77 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02300_600060_HAURCHEFANT Putting such considerations aside for the moment, we still know far too little of this Iceheart. That she is capable of commanding such a band of fanatics bespeaks natural authority, and no small measure of charisma.
82 78 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02300_600070_HAURCHEFANT As much as I would like to fathom this mystery with you, the situation has grown beyond my personal purview. I am bound by duty to inform the Temple Knights and request that they bring this matter to its conclusion.
83 79 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02300_600080_HAURCHEFANT Given the glowing reports their new commander has garnered thus far, I am certain that they can be relied upon to take appropriate action.
84 80 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02300_600090_HAURCHEFANT Though Iceheart's true identity yet eludes us, you have provided us with a point from which to begin. Sometimes it takes but a single stone to prompt an avalanche.
85 81 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02300_600100_HAURCHEFANT On the matter of the stolen provisions, I have already made arrangements for a second shipment to be sent to Revenant's Toll. I could not well allow such an honorable venture to be undermined by one miserable setback!
86 82 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02300_700010_KANESENNA Scions of the Seventh Dawn, on behalf of the people of Gridania, I bid you welcome. Your presence is of great comfort to us all in these days of uncertainty.
87 83 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02300_700020_KANESENNA I summoned you here to share tidings of a most urgent nature. But a short while ago, the great elemental spoke, and his voice was clarion in its intensity: Ramuh is returned unto the forest.
88 84 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02300_700030_KANESENNA Scarce had his words ceased to echo in mine ears when we were visited by an emissary from Little Solace.
89 85 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02300_700050_KANESENNA Our guest informs us that the sylphs, too, have sensed the presence of the Lord of Levin.
90 86 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02300_700055_KANESENNA Our guest informs us that the sylphs, too, have sensed the presence of the Lord of Levin.
91 87 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02300_700060_KANESENNA Though his exact whereabouts remain unknown, we may safely assume that the primal was summoned within the heart of the Sylphlands.
92 88 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02300_700070_KANESENNA Unlike the other primals you have encountered, Lord Ramuh is no raging avatar of destruction. He is revered as much for his wisdom as his strength, serving as both arbiter and guardian to his children. Given that we and the sylphs found a way to share the Twelveswood, it is my hope that this sagely immortal will be amenable to reason, and that conflict may be avoided.
93 89 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02300_700080_KANESENNA Blessed as you are with the power of the Echo, you are one of the few among us who may commune with a primal without fear of influence. I would ask therefore that you represent us in this most delicate of negotiations.
94 90 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02300_700090_KANESENNA The Twelveswood has suffered enough. Upon this, we and the sylphs─and I would venture Lord Ramuh himself─are in perfect accord. Let us not endanger our shared home by engaging in unnecessary hostilities.
95 91 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02300_700100_KANESENNA Dear friend, I beseech you: safeguard the peace which exists between our peoples.
96 92 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02300_700110_KANESENNA You have my thanks.
97 93 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02300_700120_KANESENNA Pray make for Little Solace, then. A member of the Order of the Twin Adder awaits you there. He will advise you on how to find the Lord of Levin.
98 94 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02300_700130_KANESENNA An ill wind blows through the forest.
99 95 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02300_700140_KANESENNA Yet...it is not only the Twelveswood that flinches at its coming─all the lands of Eorzea shiver in dread anticipation. Have care.
100 96 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02300_800010_RAMUH Thine aura betrays thee, servant of Hydaelyn.
101 97 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02300_800020_RAMUH Thou art the Bringer of Light...bane of Ifrit, Titan, Garuda, and Leviathan.
102 98 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02300_800030_RAMUH I am Ramuh, guardian of the children of the forest.
103 99 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02300_800040_RAMUH Thou tramplest upon sacred soil, Bringer of Light. By what right doth man intrude in this sanctuary of the sylphs?
104 100 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02300_800050_RAMUH The Gridanians proffer peace? Their words are born of delusion─thine offer, an insult.
105 101 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02300_800060_RAMUH Thou speakest of harmony, yet carest naught for my children's desires. They did but wish to dwell beneath these boughs in solitude─yet even that was too much to ask of man.
106 102 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02300_800070_RAMUH Thus did they turn to me for succor. The sentence I pronounce upon thy kind is just.
107 103 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02300_800080_RAMUH Gridanian or Garlean, it matters not. The good intent of one excuseth not the misdeeds of the other.
108 104 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02300_800090_RAMUH Thy conflicts have brought naught but anguish and misery unto the forest. All blame doth lie with the darkness that resideth in the breast of man.
109 105 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02300_800100_RAMUH Whence sprung this calamitous seed? In the beginning, no such duality existed. Were light and dark given form when man was born?
110 106 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02300_800110_RAMUH It would explain much. Not least why strife and sorrow follow ever in thy wake. Thou canst not deny the urgings of thine own nature.
111 107 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02300_800120_RAMUH Knowing that thy mere presence here portendeth tragedy, wilt thou persist in this pretense of peacemaking?
112 108 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02300_800130_RAMUH Thou bearest the crystal which I bestowed upon my wayward charges. That they should entrust so precious a gift to thee...
113 109 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02300_800140_RAMUH Thou standest apart from thy kin. Thou art the Bringer of Light, aye...but there is something more in thee...
114 110 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02300_800150_RAMUH Very well, I shall consider thy proposal...shouldst thou survive my trial.
115 111 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02300_800160_RAMUH If thou wouldst champion the cause of harmony, I must have proof that thou art fit to play the role. Weather mine ire, and prove to me thereby that thou hast strength enough to stay the Darkness which threateneth to consume thee.
116 112 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02300_800170_RAMUH Yet if thou shouldst be found wanting, know that <Emphasis>all</Emphasis> men shall perish in the storm of my judgment!
117 113 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02300_800180_RAMUH Come to me, Bringer of Light. I shall await thee on the field of battle!
118 114 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02300_800190_YSHTOLA Urianger. It is rare indeed to find you so far from a tome.
119 115 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02300_800200_URIANGER The Lord of Levin himself... Never till this day had I looked upon his visage save in painted renderings, made faint by time... Ever shall this scene remain etched in my mind's eye... Ahem. Beg pardon, my lady.
120 116 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02300_800210_URIANGER I must beg thine aid on a point of research. If thou art resolved to face Lord Ramuh, I would ask thy leave to observe the event...
121 117 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02300_900010_RAMUH I have taken thy measure, Bringer of Light.
122 118 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02300_900020_RAMUH And I judge thee a worthy champion. The task of excising the sin that hath taken root in man's heart is thine.
123 119 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02300_900030_RAMUH Shrink not from employing thy strength in service to the forest, and the wider realm beyond. Like hungering shadows do the enemies of harmony gather, and meekness will but feed them.
124 120 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02300_900040_RAMUH If man is to be delivered from the Dark, it shall be by thy guiding Light alone. Stray not from the path, for if thou dost, thy people shall be truly lost...
125 121 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02300_900050_URIANGER Thou hast slain the Lord of Levin. A regrettable act...but a necessary one.
126 122 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02300_900060_URIANGER In witnessing thy struggle, a truth hath been revealed unto me. If I mistake not, it may yet prove a chink in the eternal armor of the Ascians.
127 123 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02300_900070_URIANGER But let us conclude our present business. I shall expound upon my findings at the Rising Stones anon.
128 124 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02300_A00010_KANESENNA You are returned to us, dear friend, and none the worse for bearing the heavy burden which I did press upon you. Most glad am I of this.
129 125 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02300_A00020_KANESENNA I am informed that your efforts to negotiate a peace with Lord Ramuh ended in conflict. Pray tell me, what befell?
130 126 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02300_A00030_KANESENNA Ramuh made trial of you?
131 127 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02300_A00040_KANESENNA I fear there is truth to his claim. It is the darkness within us that attracts the Darkness without.
132 128 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02300_A00050_KANESENNA It cannot be denied that misfortune follows man. For evidence, one need only look to the conflict brewing in Carteneau, or to the rising flood of refugees.
133 129 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02300_A00060_KANESENNA Our shared struggle against the Empire should have served to seal our union, yet the ties which bind the Alliance strain under the weight of gross self-interest.
134 130 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02300_A00070_KANESENNA As the scars of the Calamity begin to fade, so too does our sense of common purpose.
135 131 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02300_A00080_KANESENNA Yet now is scarce the time to forget our shared responsibility. If this new-sprung realm is to survive beyond its infancy, it must needs be nurtured by all.
136 132 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02300_A00090_KANESENNA Eorzea <Emphasis>must</Emphasis> be as one. Yet I fear that dream is still far off.
137 133 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02300_A00100_KANESENNA On behalf of the people of Gridania, and the elementals both, I thank you for all that you and your fellow Scions have done.
138 134 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02300_A00110_KANESENNA Full oft have I been compelled to look to you for aid of late...and offered all too little in return. As leader of this nation, I shall endeavor to prove a more worthy ally to your cause henceforth.
139 135 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02300_A00120_KANESENNA Lord Ramuh has departed, yet the keening of this ill wind grows no less insistent...
140 136 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02300_A00130_KANESENNA Voices of the forest─pray speak and I shall listen. What unseen evil begets this unease in my heart?
141 137 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02300_B00010_MINFILIA If everyone is ready, let us begin.
142 138 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02300_B00020_MINFILIA Urianger, the floor is yours.
143 139 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02300_B00030_URIANGER As all here assembled now know, in its final hours as our order's headquarters, the Waking Sands did play host to a most unexpected visitor. I speak of the Ascian clad in white, Elidibus.
144 140 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02300_B00040_URIANGER Unwelcome though his presence was, his words that day did serve to confirm a truth long suspected: that the Ascians are eternal beings, to whom physical destruction is as a temporary inconvenience.
145 141 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02300_B00050_MINFILIA In the intervening time, Urianger and I have striven to discover a means by which the Ascians might more permanently be slain.
146 142 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02300_B00060_URIANGER And 'tis my belief that we have found the thread that will allow us to unravel the twisted skein of their existence.
147 143 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02300_B00070_URIANGER In the moments prior to Leviathan's most recent manifestation, the Sahagin elder who summoned him was observed to undergo some manner of ascension.
148 144 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02300_B00080_URIANGER The aetheric readings taken by Y'shtola at the time of this transfiguration have proven most enlightening.
149 145 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02300_B00090_YSHTOLA The disruption to the flow of aether was sudden and dramatic. So tangible was the agitation, I scarce had need of my goggles.
150 146 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02300_B00100_URIANGER The significance of Y'shtola's readings might better be understood in the context of mine own, taken at the instant of the Lord of Levin's demise. Unlike the primal, the Sahagin was not subject to aetheric dissipation.
151 147 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02300_B00110_MINFILIA Before discussing our new discoveries, it may benefit us all to recall what we know of aetheric behavior.
152 148 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02300_B00120_MINFILIA Let us begin at what some might call the end. When we who dwell in the material realm die, our spirits dissolve into the flow of aether, and are returned to the aetherial realm.
153 149 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02300_B00130_MINFILIA In turn, the restless energy which suffuses that plane streams back into our world, giving rise to new life.
154 150 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02300_B00140_URIANGER 'Tis as the heavens did decree─the way of all mortal souls.
155 151 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02300_B00150_URIANGER 'Twixt this world and the next do the aetherial currents swirl, bearing the very essence of life. Thus doth the cycle of birth, death, and rebirth continue unabated.
156 152 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02300_B00160_MINFILIA Primals behave somewhat differently. In order to manifest and then maintain a physical presence in this realm, they must consume vast quantities of aether, most often in the form of crystals. Though they may seem to live, their flesh is but aether given shape.
157 153 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02300_B00170_MINFILIA Thus, a defeated primal leaves behind no broken corpse─rather, the essence of its form seeps back into the land whence it came, and the energy of its shattered spirit is called back to the aetherial realm.
158 154 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02300_B00180_URIANGER And there it waiteth till next the prayers of the faithful do draw it forth from the sea of aether to take their offering of crystals and make for itself a new body...
159 155 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02300_B00190_MINFILIA Which brings us on to the third group. These so-called “immortals.” They exist in a manner all their own.
160 156 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02300_B00200_YSHTOLA Quite. Even as the Sahagin elder fell to the Admiral's musket shot, I witnessed the release of an aetherial cloud which immediately took possession of a nearby minion.
161 157 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02300_B00210_URIANGER A soul that dissipateth not upon the death of the flesh...
162 158 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02300_B00220_THANCRED The secret of life everlasting. And in the claws of a Sahagin, no less. But I wonder: what would happen to one of these obstinate spirits should there be no suitable host for it to claim?
163 159 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02300_B00230_MINFILIA If mortal death entails a return to the aetherial realm, it seems doubtful that the soul of an immortal would venture there.
164 160 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02300_B00240_URIANGER Nay, it merely withdraweth a distance. Unto the shore of the aetherial sea, perchance, but no further.
165 161 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02300_B00250_MINFILIA Yes, it exists in neither this realm nor the next, abiding instead in the space that lies between them.
166 162 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02300_B00260_MINFILIA The Ascians took control of Thancred by means of a Crystal of Darkness─an artifact which, if our theories are correct, serves as a gateway to the place I have just described.
167 163 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02300_B00270_THANCRED I was hoping people had forgotten about that...
168 164 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02300_B00280_MINFILIA I am sorry, my friend.
169 165 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02300_B00290_URIANGER For a mercy, the weary road of our research hath brought us unto an answer.
170 166 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02300_B00300_YSHTOLA The Sahagin ascended to an immortal state, but he did not possess a Crystal of Darkness through which to flee this realm. Thus was he consumed by Leviathan.
171 167 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02300_B00310_YSHTOLA If we could entrap the spirits of defeated Ascians in like manner, and thereby deny them resurrection...
172 168 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02300_B00320_URIANGER Therein lieth the path to victory. Thou art most perceptive, my lady.
173 169 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02300_B00330_URIANGER Only when we have trapped the bodiless soul within an aetherial prison can we hope to defeat its unnatural constancy. Thus, might even an eternal Paragon be consigned to oblivion.
174 170 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02300_B00340_MINFILIA These feats are, of course, far easier said than done. At present, we lack a viable means to entrap and extinguish an Ascian soul.
175 171 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02300_B00350_MINFILIA Yet I believe it to be possible. The pieces of the puzzle lie before us─we have but to put them together.
176 172 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02300_B00360_URIANGER I will depart at once to convene with the sages of Sharlayan. Together shall we divine the steps by which our goals may be achieved.
177 173 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02300_B00370_MINFILIA I have the utmost faith in you, Archon.
178 174 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02300_B00380_URIANGER Beg pardon, Antecedent, but I would raise one final matter... Even now, a Sharlayan survey party seeketh to ascertain the fate of the Students of Baldesion.
179 175 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02300_B00390_URIANGER Their findings shall soon be known to us. Though you harbor feelings of dread, I bid you surrender not to sorrow, but abide instead in hopeful prayer.
180 176 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02300_B00400_MINFILIA I shall, Archon. Thank you.
181 177 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02300_C00010_NANAMOULNAMO Tell me, General: what think you of Alphinaud's bold endeavor?
182 178 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02300_C00020_RAUBAHN I think it is more than bold, Your Grace. His organization would pave the way for a united Eorzea.
183 179 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02300_C00030_RAUBAHN Well do I understand his impatience. Since facing the common threat of the Ultima Weapon, our nations have seemed farther apart, not closer together.
184 180 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02300_C00040_RAUBAHN Considering the many problems we face, should we not be glad that someone else is taking the initiative?
185 181 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02300_C00050_NANAMOULNAMO We have all pledged our cooperation, yet the grumbling continues behind closed doors. Ul'dah is not alone in her duplicity.
186 182 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02300_C00060_NANAMOULNAMO I myself have doubts as to the good this organization will achieve.
187 183 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02300_C00070_NANAMOULNAMO With the inclusion of the finest soldiers of the three Grand Companies, it promises to be a fearsome military body. But whom will it serve? Even under the watchful gaze of the Scions, it is not unthinkable that such a force could perpetrate a great wrong.
188 184 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02300_C00080_NANAMOULNAMO Does it not concern you that a significant proportion of its financial backing came from the coffers of the Syndicate? That those unprincipled worms might forge this extraordinary gathering of warriors into a private army?
189 185 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02300_C00090_RAUBAHN I have trust in the Scions, Your Grace. They have spared us no end of trouble at the hands of the primals. If they seek reinforcements, I deem it unwise to deny them.
190 186 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02300_C00100_RAUBAHN As for their finances, full many gave generously. And though our nobles proffered a sizable sum, their coin did not spill from the pockets of Lolorito and his cronies.
191 187 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02300_C00110_RAUBAHN And what of the presence of our stalwart adventurer friend in this endeavor? I doubt the Warrior of Light would betray our cause.
192 188 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02300_C00120_NANAMOULNAMO Yes, there is that, I suppose.
193 189 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02300_C00130_NANAMOULNAMO Yet I have known people to change. Whether we will or no, the events of the age hurl us this way and that, like a dust devil skipping across the sands...
194 190 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02300_C00140_NANAMOULNAMO Can naught be done about Teledji?
195 191 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02300_C00150_RAUBAHN I have explored all avenues available to us, Your Grace, but as Ul'dahn law now stands, we lack the evidence to convict him of any crime. To arrest him on spurious grounds would only play into his hands...
196 192 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02300_C00160_NANAMOULNAMO He has all but committed treason, and yet we can do nothing!?
197 193 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02300_C00170_NANAMOULNAMO Then what good our government!? What worth the royal house!? How deplorable this mockery of justice!
198 194 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02300_C00180_NANAMOULNAMO This isn't the text you're looking for.
199 195 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02300_C00190_RAUBAHN Have faith, Your Grace. It is not over...
200 196 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02300_D00010_ALPHINAUD Comrades! Your presence here this day signifies the momentous choice that each of you has made.
201 197 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02300_D00020_ALPHINAUD With your strength now pledged to the Scions of the Seventh Dawn, you are beholden to no single nation. You stand as the vanguard for a united Eorzea!
202 198 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02300_D00030_ALPHINAUD From this moment forth, I declare you Crystal Braves! Let us mend this fractured realm, and face our enemies as one!
203 199 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02300_D00040_ALPHINAUD Whether it be the beastmen and their primals, or the conflict in Carteneau, it is plain that the nations of Eorzea cannot solve the problems which plague the realm. Thus does it fall to some few heroic souls to succeed where they have failed!
204 200 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02300_D00050_ALPHINAUD Come! Take your place at the Scions' side as guardians of Eorzea! And together we shall fight for the freedom of all!
205 201 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02300_D00060_ALL (-Crystal Braves-)For the freedom of all!
206 202 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02300_D00070_MINFILIA A rousing speech, Alphinaud. Or should I say, Crystal Brave Commander Leveilleur?
207 203 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02300_D00080_ALPHINAUD Please, Antecedent...the title is honorary. I shall not be “leading the troops into battle,” as it were.
208 204 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02300_D00090_ALPHINAUD We are of the same purpose. Let us join hands, and do what must be done to save this land.
209 205 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02300_D00100_MINFILIA The Scions stand ready!
210 206 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02300_E00010_MINFILIA I'm eager to see what the Crystal Braves might accomplish. This shall prove an interesting time indeed for the Scions.
211 207 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02300_E00020_MINFILIA Yes, I'm listening.
212 208 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02300_E00030_MINFILIA So, our worst fears are confirmed. The entire isle... Such power defies comprehension...
213 209 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02300_E00040_MINFILIA Truly!? Krile is alive!? Thank the Twelve...
214 210 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02300_E00050_MINFILIA ...I see. Pray inform me if her condition changes. Yes. I shall pass on your words to Urianger.
215 211 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02300_E00060_MINFILIA My thanks. I shall contact you anon.
216 212 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02300_E00070_MINFILIA When I learned of the loss of the Isle of Val, I dared not hope that my friend had survived. Yet by some miracle, it would seem she has. She has still to regain consciousness, it is true, but better that than death.
217 213 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02300_E00080_MINFILIA Putting this happy news to one side, we must now endeavor to make sense of the readings taken by the survey party.
218 214 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02300_E00090_MINFILIA It appears the aetheric disturbance which accompanied the isle's destruction is of a magnitude alarmingly close to that of Ultima. Could the Ascians be responsible for this devastation as well?
219 215 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02300_E00100_MINFILIA I wonder... Have you heard aught from the Mothercrystal since the battle with the Garleans?
220 216 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02300_E00110_MINFILIA Then She speaks to neither one of us. Hydaelyn's silence portends naught but ill, I fear.
221 217 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02300_E00120_MINFILIA Louisoix... I pray you yet watch over us...

4 0 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02400_000010_ILBERD Hail to you, Scion. How might we serve you?
5 1 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02400_000020_ILBERD ...Commander Leveilleur bade you serve us?
6 2 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02400_000030_ILBERD These are welcome tidings indeed. Given the sensitive nature of the task, I could not rely on one of my own.
7 3 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02400_000040_ILBERD That which I am about to tell you, I tell you in the strictest confidence.
8 4 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02400_000050_ILBERD Some days ago, we received certain documents from an anonymous source. They notified us of the presence of a Garlean agent within the ranks of one of the Grand Companies.
9 5 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02400_000060_ILBERD Following some discreet inquiries, we identified a suspect among the Immortal Flames whom we detained for questioning.
10 6 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02400_000070_ILBERD Alas, the man was not our agent. He was but one of many men in the agent's employ.
11 7 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02400_000080_ILBERD We pressed the traitor for a name, but he had none to give. He claims never to have met his master, whom he knows only as the Ivy.
12 8 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02400_000090_ILBERD He was, however, certain that this “ivy” had coiled itself around every part of the Immortal Flames. It would seem our quarry joined the company some time ago, and gradually recruited others to his cause.
13 9 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02400_000100_ILBERD These conspirators are the vines by which he learns our secrets, all without exposing himself.
14 10 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02400_000110_ILBERD It won't be easy to identify the Ivy amidst this tangled mass of subterfuge. But we have a tendril in our hands, and we shall follow it all the way to the gnarled root.
15 11 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02400_000120_ILBERD Now, much as I would prefer to proceed with due discretion, circumstances demand that this matter be settled posthaste.
16 12 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02400_000130_ILBERD Garlemald's war of succession nears its end, and it is feared that the Empire will soon resume its march on Eorzea.
17 13 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02400_000140_ILBERD When it does, we can ill afford to have traitors in our midst. The Ivy must be rooted out now.
18 14 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02400_000150_ILBERD We must begin by apprising General Raubahn of our findings. I would ask that you accompany me to the Hall of Flames, and remain on hand to see that things go smoothly.
19 15 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02400_000160_ILBERD Assuming the Ivy's tendrils are as widespread as we believe, he will be aware that an investigation is underway. And if that is the case, he may well move against us.
20 16 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02400_000170_ILBERD We must be prepared for anything, while taking care not to betray our purpose by <Emphasis>seeming</Emphasis> prepared. A simple enough task for a one-<If(PlayerParameter(4))>woman<Else/>man</If> army like you.
21 17 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02400_100010_RAUBAHN Well, well. What brings you here, my friend?
22 18 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02400_100011_ILBERD <If(PlayerParameter(4))>She<Else/>He</If> is here at my behest. Greetings, Raubahn. It has been a while.
23 19 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02400_100020_RAUBAHN Ilberd, you old scoundrel! When they told me you'd be visiting, I scarce believed my ears!
24 20 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02400_100030_RAUBAHN But look at you! The honored captain of the Crystal bloody Braves! Who'd have imagined, eh?
25 21 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02400_100040_ILBERD Not many. But fewer still would have imagined your destiny lay in politics, old friend.
26 22 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02400_100050_RAUBAHN Aye...we've both come far, have we not?
27 23 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02400_100060_RAUBAHN Lest you wonder, Ilberd and I go back a long way. We've been friends and rivals since we were lads.
28 24 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02400_100070_RAUBAHN The last time we saw each other, Ala Mhigo had just fallen, so you can guess how many summers it's been. And in all that time, not a word from the fool!
29 25 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02400_100080_ILBERD Ah, well, my dealings tended toward the modest and mundane...unlike some I could mention.
30 26 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02400_100090_ILBERD As I hear it, no sooner did you reach Thanalan than the Brass Blades clapped you in irons and dragged you off to die on the bloodsands. But being a stubborn sort, you won a thousand matches, and earned yourself a place in the people's hearts while you were about it.
31 27 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02400_100100_ILBERD Then, with your mountain of prize money, you bought the Coliseum, and secured a seat on the Syndicate. Thal's balls, brother─rags-to-riches does not do it justice! You're a hero to the common man!
32 28 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02400_100110_RAUBAHN Bah, spare me. I am no hero. If anyone is worthy of that title, it's our friend here. Next to <If(PlayerParameter(4))>her<Else/>him</If>, I'm little more than a glorified butcher.
33 29 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02400_100120_RAUBAHN But you, Ilberd─you sell yourself short. By all accounts, you were an adventurer of some standing.
34 30 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02400_100130_ILBERD I like to think that I did my part for the greater good. But if you are no hero, then I am no adventurer─not in <Emphasis>this</Emphasis> company. Anyway...
35 31 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02400_100140_ILBERD I have tidings.
36 32 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02400_100150_RAUBAHN So there has been progress.
37 33 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02400_100160_RAUBAHN I've let it be known that this meeting is a reunion between old friends. None will give your visit a second thought.
38 34 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02400_100170_RAUBAHN To convene elsewhere would only attract attention. Let us speak here, in plain view of all.
39 35 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02400_100180_RAUBAHN ...So it is we who have been compromised.
40 36 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02400_100190_RAUBAHN Teledji Adeledji's machinations have shaken Ul'dah to her foundations. In such uncertain times, a man's loyalty may be bought for a fistful of gil...
41 37 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02400_100200_RAUBAHN But if this snake has truly been in our midst for as long as you say, we must needs consider a far graver possibility: conspiracy. Could it be that the Monetarists have been in league with the Empire from the first?
42 38 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02400_100210_RAUBAHN Very well. I will have my most trusted men investigate the matter. Continue your inquiries in the meantime.
43 39 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02400_100220_RAUBAHN It does me well to see you again, old friend. When next we meet, let it be over a flagon of ale.
44 40 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02400_100230_ILBERD I look forward to it. Let us reminisce of bygone days, and drink to the future of our homeland.
45 41 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02400_100240_ILBERD Flame General... You wear the mantle well, old friend. I must work hard if I'm to keep up.
46 42 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02400_100250_ILBERD Well, it would seem your services were not required after all. I daresay we have Raubahn's prudence to thank for that. Still, I was glad of your presence. My thanks, Scion.
47 43 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02400_300010_HAURCHEFANT Have faith, my friend. You need only state your case with confidence and clarity.
48 44 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02400_300020_AYMERIC (-???-)Commander Leveilleur. It is both an honor and a pleasure to meet you.
49 45 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02400_300030_AYMERIC I am Aymeric, lord commander of the Temple Knights.
50 46 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02400_300040_ALPHINAUD Alphinaud Leveilleur, at your service.
51 47 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02400_300050_ALPHINAUD Your reputation precedes you, Ser Aymeric. I think we will find that we have much in common.
52 48 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02400_300060_AYMERIC Speaking of reputations, yours towers over us all. Does it not?
53 49 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02400_300080_LUCIA (-Taciturn Temple Knight-)It does indeed, Lord Commander.
54 50 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02400_300090_AYMERIC I am not too proud to admit that I have followed your activities with an interest bordering on fascination.
55 51 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02400_300100_AYMERIC Full glad was I to learn that you would be joining us.
56 52 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02400_300110_AYMERIC Now then, shall we begin?
57 53 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02400_300120_ALPHINAUD We know full well that the Garleans will return in force ere long.
58 54 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02400_300130_ALPHINAUD What is more, we have yet to achieve a lasting victory over the primal menace. The beast tribes continue to summon their gods, and each incarnation is stronger than the last.
59 55 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02400_300140_ALPHINAUD Ishgard is not immune to these threats. I must reiterate that it would behoove your nation to rejoin the Eorzean Alliance.
60 56 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02400_300150_AYMERIC Once again, I must respectfully disagree.
61 57 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02400_300160_ALPHINAUD On what grounds?
62 58 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02400_300170_AYMERIC Despite their presence in Coerthas, the Ixal do not concern us. Their territorial claims pertain to Gridanian lands, and it is the people of Gridania whom they harry.
63 59 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02400_300180_AYMERIC Consequently, the Holy See judges this to be a Gridanian affair, and Ishgard does not intervene in the internal affairs of other nations.
64 60 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02400_300190_AYMERIC Even were that not the case, our forces are wholly committed to the Dravanian conflict. We have not the knights to spare.
65 61 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02400_300200_AYMERIC As for the Garleans, we are not ignorant of history. We have observed the rise and expansion of the Empire, and we agree that it is only a matter of time before they resume their campaign in Eorzea.
66 62 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02400_300220_ALPHINAUD Then surely it would be in our best interests to present a united front?
67 63 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02400_300230_AYMERIC Mayhap one day, but not yet.
68 64 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02400_300240_AYMERIC Gaius van Baelsar is dead, and the legion of conscripts he left behind lacks the will to fight. We think it highly unlikely that they will emerge from behind the walls of their castra for some time.
69 65 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02400_300250_ALPHINAUD Forgive me, but if Ishgard's position has not changed, why did you agree to this meeting?
70 66 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02400_300260_AYMERIC It was not only as a representative of Ishgard that I came here.
71 67 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02400_300270_ALPHINAUD Pardon?
72 68 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02400_300280_AYMERIC It is not within my power to change Ishgardian policy, regardless of my personal feelings. There is, however, one area in which I may exert a measure of influence.
73 69 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02400_300290_AYMERIC Concerns have been raised over the supplies House Fortemps has offered to Revenant's Toll. These have led to calls for restrictions on the provision of aid to foreign powers.
74 70 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02400_300300_AYMERIC I can ensure that the shipments continue unabated.
75 71 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02400_300310_HAURCHEFANT Ser Aymeric, we would be in your debt!
76 72 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02400_300320_AYMERIC No, you would not, for I require something in exchange.
77 73 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02400_300330_AYMERIC Of late there has been a flurry of Dravanian activity, the purpose of which was not immediately clear.
78 74 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02400_300340_AYMERIC However, our astrologians have since observed alarming changes in the heavens. The dragon star waxes unnaturally bright, and there are whispers that it portends the resurrection of Midgardsormr.
79 75 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02400_300350_ALPHINAUD The fallen guardian of Silvertear Falls? That's absurd.
80 76 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02400_300360_AYMERIC Full many times have I gazed upon the dragon's corpse, still wound around the <Emphasis>Agrius</Emphasis>, and wondered how different our world might be if it yet lived to plague the skies.
81 77 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02400_300370_AYMERIC I do not know, and I do not wish to know. Nor does any son of Ishgard. Yet the mere presence of Dravanian forces is not sufficient grounds to send knights to Mor Dhona, whatever our astrologians say. As I told you before, we have not the forces to spare.
82 78 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02400_300380_ALPHINAUD ...But we do. So, you will intervene on our behalf if we agree to watch over the Keeper of the Lake.
83 79 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02400_300390_AYMERIC Do you accept these terms?
84 80 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02400_300400_ALPHINAUD I do. I will see that you are kept abreast of any developments.
85 81 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02400_300410_ALPHINAUD I regret that we could not come to a similar agreement on other matters, but I understand that you are not at liberty to make such decisions.
86 82 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02400_300420_ALPHINAUD Nevertheless, I hope that what we have accomplished here today will serve to demonstrate to your countrymen that we can work together towards a common goal. Mayhap one day we shall look back on this moment as the first step towards a united Eorzea.
87 83 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02400_300440_AYMERIC Mayhap we shall, Commander.
88 84 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02400_300450_HAURCHEFANT What is the meaning of this!?
89 85 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02400_300460_CAVALRY02400 The caravan, my lord! It's been attacked!
90 86 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02400_300470_CAVALRY02400 It was <Emphasis>Iceheart</Emphasis>, my lord!
91 87 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02400_300480_HAURCHEFANT What!? By the Fury! All our precautions were for naught!?
92 88 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02400_600010_ICEHEART (-???-)The tales do not do you justice, Warrior of Light.
93 89 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02400_600020_ICEHEART (-???-)Yes, I know who you are. And you know who I am.
94 90 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02400_600030_ICEHEART (-Iceheart-)I was given the name Ysayle, but I earned the name Iceheart.
95 91 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02400_600040_ICEHEART (-Iceheart-)This endless cycle of hatred, of bloodshed, of sorrow─ You would see it continue, O noble Warrior of Light?
96 92 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02400_600050_ICEHEART (-Iceheart-)I would not. I <Emphasis>will not</Emphasis>. I will bring an end to this war between dragon and man─no matter the cost.
97 93 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02400_600080_ICEHEART (-Iceheart-)In time, you will come to understand that what we do, we do for the greater good.
98 94 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02400_600090_ICEHEART (-Iceheart-)For Eorzea. For Hydaelyn.
99 95 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02400_900010_KANESENNA Change has come to the Garlean Empire, and we must discuss the implications.
100 96 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02400_900011_MERLWYB The rumors are true then? The war of succession is ended?
101 97 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02400_900020_KANESENNA It is. A new emperor reigns in Garlemald.
102 98 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02400_900030_ALPHINAUD Who!?
103 99 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02400_900040_KANESENNA The birth and all-too-rapid expansion of the Garlean Empire is commonly attributed to the strategic brilliance of Solus zos Galvus, yet he did not rule alone. Several members of the royal household also distinguished themselves during his reign.
104 100 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02400_900050_KANESENNA Nevertheless, it was the eldest son who stood to inherit the throne─until his most untimely passing.
105 101 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02400_900060_RAUBAHN I thought us fortunate when I learned that the emperor had died without naming a successor.
106 102 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02400_900070_ALPHINAUD Would that the Garlean Empire had died with him.
107 103 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02400_900080_RAUBAHN 'Twas the grandson and his uncle who had the strongest claims, was it not?
108 104 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02400_900090_KANESENNA Indeed. Yet claims count for little without the power to assert them. High Legatus Varis yae Galvus is a respected military leader─not so, his uncle.
109 105 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02400_900100_MERLWYB So, young Varis has torn the crown from his uncle's grasp, and taken his place at the head of the Empire.
110 106 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02400_900120_KANESENNA Given the troubled nature of his succession, the new emperor will require time to seal his grip on power. Yet have no doubt but that he shall, for there are none left with strength enough to oppose him.
111 107 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02400_900130_RAUBAHN Since the success of Operation Archon, the remnants of the XIVth Legion and the forces occupying Ala Mhigo have done naught but fortify their positions.
112 108 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02400_900140_RAUBAHN But you can be sure they'll be ready to march on us again, if their emperor gives the word.
113 109 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02400_900150_MERLWYB <Emphasis>When</Emphasis>, not if. They say this Varis was so set upon Eorzean annexation that he spoke out against the Meteor project.
114 110 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02400_900160_KANESENNA Plainly, the new emperor's intentions are of great concern to us all.
115 111 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02400_900170_KANESENNA I propose that we set aside the Carteneau dispute for the present and discuss what measures the Alliance might take to prepare for a resumption of hostilities with Garlemald.
116 112 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02400_900171_KANESENNA Moreover, I move that we reexamine the question of how our former allies in Ishgard might be persuaded to retake their place at our side. Could Eorzea but stand as one, 'twould deal a grave blow to our enemy's ambitions.
117 113 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02400_900180_ALPHINAUD Well, I suppose we should be grateful that they have finally acknowledged the inevitability of imperial attack. Who knows, they may even do something about it.
118 114 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02400_900190_ALPHINAUD If only the leaders of Ishgard would follow their example, and stop hiding behind their gates, praying for the coming storm to pass them by.
119 115 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02400_900200_ALPHINAUD But that is a discussion for another time. At present, I am more concerned by the fact that the Alliance's mooted preparations will be made known to the Garleans many moons before their coming.
120 116 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02400_900210_ALPHINAUD So long as the Ivy eludes our grasp, no secret is safe.
121 117 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02400_B00010_MOENBRYDA (-???-)Minfilia, am I right?
122 118 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02400_B00020_MINFILIA None other. I bid you welcome to Revenant's Toll, and thank you for traveling so far on such short notice.
123 119 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02400_B00030_MOENBRYDA (-???-)Hah! As if I could ever say no to Urianger!
124 120 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02400_B00040_MINFILIA Moenbryda is an accomplished Sharlayan scholar and an authority on aetheryte technologies.
125 121 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02400_B00050_MINFILIA She has played an invaluable role in our search for a means to capture Ascian souls.
126 122 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02400_B00060_MOENBRYDA Charmed, I'm sure.
127 123 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02400_C00010_MINFILIA Everyone, if I could have your attention!
128 124 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02400_C00011_MINFILIA We have with us an esteemed guest who is come from Sharlayan to assist us.

130 126 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02400_C00030_MOENBRYDA Oh, longer, sister!
131 127 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02400_C00040_YSHTOLA A joyous reunion indeed.
132 128 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02400_C00050_YDA Well, of course it is! Moen and I are like twin sisters!

134 130 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02400_C00070_MINFILIA Everyone, please!
135 131 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02400_C00080_MINFILIA I bid Moenbryda join us here that she might share with us her extensive knowledge of aetherytes.
136 132 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02400_C00090_MINFILIA Also, as many of you are already aware, she has been overseeing our research into white auracite─a sample of which she has been good enough to bring with her.
137 133 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02400_C00110_MOENBRYDA Well, I had to come, didn't I? You'd have to be bloody <Emphasis>daft</Emphasis> to turn your nose up at a chance like this. Where better to conduct my final tests than a land so steeped in aether you can taste it!?
138 134 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02400_C00120_URIANGER 'Tis plain the passage of the years hath done little to dampen thy youthful spirits...
139 135 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02400_C00130_URIANGER ...And nothing at all to reform thy youthful manner.
140 136 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02400_C00140_MOENBRYDA Urianger! Where in the hells've you been hiding?
141 137 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02400_C00150_URIANGER Un...unhand me.
142 138 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02400_C00160_MOENBRYDA I come all this way, and <Emphasis>that's</Emphasis> what you have to say to me!?
143 139 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02400_C00170_MOENBRYDA I much preferred when you were pleading with me to drop everything and hurry to your side. What was it you said? “None save thee can satisfy this need─”
144 140 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02400_C00180_THANCRED Go on...
145 141 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02400_C00190_URIANGER Th-Thine artless attempts to misrepresent mine all-too-innocent motives do thee little credit!
146 142 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02400_C00200_URIANGER Mine intent, as well thou knowest, was but to impress upon thee the gravity of the circumstance. Lest thou doubt, a deiform entity shall shortly be summoned, save if thou, and no other, grantest my compeers thine aid.
147 143 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02400_C00210_MOENBRYDA You still haven't found it, then? Your missing aetheryte?
148 144 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02400_C00220_MINFILIA We have not, no.
149 145 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02400_C00230_MINFILIA We know that Iceheart teleported to an aetheryte not far from the first, yet even after careful analysis, we could not locate the second beacon.
150 146 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02400_C00240_MINFILIA We now suspect that the heretics destroyed the second aetheryte to impede our pursuit.
151 147 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02400_C00250_MINFILIA Our allies continue to scour Snowcloak for Iceheart's sanctuary, but we have no guarantee that they will find it. Yet it must be found, for even now Iceheart prepares to call upon Saint Shiva.
152 148 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02400_C00260_MOENBRYDA I'm sorry but...if the aetheryte's been destroyed, then that's that.
153 149 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02400_C00270_MOENBRYDA Although... You're absolutely sure she used the first aetheryte, are you? She didn't just use teleportation magicks?
154 150 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02400_C00280_MINFILIA One of our own bore witness to her escape. I can say with absolute certainty that Iceheart used the aetheryte.
155 151 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02400_C00290_MOENBRYDA In that case, there might be a way─so long as the aetherial current is still flowing.
156 152 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02400_C00300_MINFILIA Truly? How?
157 153 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02400_C00310_MOENBRYDA We use the current to recreate the beacon.
158 154 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02400_C00320_MOENBRYDA As you know, aetherytes are a bit like lighthouses. We use them to reconstitute our physical forms when crossing the aetherial sea. Without them, we'd lose all sense of direction and our essence would dissipate.
159 155 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02400_C00350_MOENBRYDA However, we don't rely solely on these beacons. There are currents of aether which flow between them─currents which help guide us to our destination.
160 156 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02400_C00360_MOENBRYDA Now, these currents will gradually dwindle away to nothing if an aetheryte is destroyed. But if even a sluggish flow remains, we could theoretically use it to direct a surge of concentrated aether towards the void left by the beacon and thereby fill it up again.
161 157 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02400_C00380_THANCRED Like opening the floodgates to fill a dry riverbed. Though, correct me if I'm wrong, but would we not need a veritable reservoir of aether?
162 158 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02400_C00390_PAPALYMO In concert, we <Emphasis>might</Emphasis> manage to channel a sufficient volume, yet that is not my chief concern.
163 159 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02400_C00400_PAPALYMO To direct the flow of so great a volume of aether with the requisite precision would be a nigh-impossible task in itself.
164 160 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02400_C00410_YSHTOLA I barely succeeded in facilitating travel to an unattuned beacon. That which you describe sounds considerably more difficult.
165 161 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02400_C00420_MOENBRYDA And dangerous! Every person who has attempted to teleport in this fashion has died in the process. They, however, did not have white auracite at their disposal!
166 162 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02400_C00440_MOENBRYDA I can use it to channel all the aether you can give me into the aetheryte. However, white auracite cannot retain aether for an extended period of time, so we would need to infuse it immediately beforehand.
167 163 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02400_C00450_MOENBRYDA Just so you know, I'd confidently give this plan better than even odds of success. And if the worst comes to the worst, your people won't suffer.
168 164 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02400_C00490_MINFILIA Though it risk the lives of our best and brightest, we have not the time to seek other options.
169 165 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02400_C00500_MINFILIA If the aetherial current still flows, we shall carry out Moenbryda's plan.
170 166 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02400_C00510_MOENBRYDA That's the spirit! Let's roll the dice!
171 167 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02400_D00010_ICEHEART You should never have come here, Warrior of Light. I labor only to forge a lasting peace.
172 168 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02400_D00020_ICEHEART A peace you would deny us out of ignorance and blind faith.
173 169 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02400_D00030_ICEHEART No matter. If it is our fate to be at odds, then it is <Emphasis>mine</Emphasis> to strike you down.
174 170 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02400_D00040_ICEHEART We whom gods and men have forsaken shall be the instruments of our own deliverance!
175 171 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02400_D00050_ICEHEART Partake of my flesh─fill this vessel with your light! Walk amongst your brothers and sisters once more!
176 172 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02400_D00060_ICEHEART O Saint Shiva, still the hatred within our hearts and bless us with eternal grace!
177 173 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02400_D00070_SHIVA Hmph...
178 174 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02400_E00010_ICEHEART (-Iceheart-)Fool... Blind, bloody fool.
179 175 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02400_E00020_ICEHEART (-Iceheart-)You of all people should understand the suffering war begets─that no sacrifice is too great if it brings an end to the violence.
180 176 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02400_E00021_ICEHEART (-Iceheart-)<Emphasis>Mine</Emphasis> is the righteous cause!
181 177 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02400_E00030_ICEHEART (-Iceheart-)You fight in a war you do not understand─a pawn of liars and schemers.
182 178 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02400_E00040_ICEHEART (-Iceheart-)And they are no less ignorant than you! Following the creed of their fathers without question, never thinking to ask why.
183 179 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02400_E00050_ICEHEART (-Iceheart-)Trapped in a delusion of their own creation and blind to the truth.
184 180 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02400_E00060_ICEHEART (-Iceheart-)Warrior of Light, redemption is not beyond us.
185 181 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02400_E00070_ICEHEART (-Iceheart-)We who walk before may lead those who walk after.
186 182 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02400_E00080_ICEHEART (-Iceheart-)Seek the Keeper of the Lake. See with eyes unclouded.

191 187 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02400_E00130_NABRIALES (-???-)<Color(-3917469)>How unfortunate.</Color>
192 188 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02400_F00010_AYMERIC On behalf of the Holy See of Ishgard, allow me to express my deepest thanks.
193 189 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02400_F00020_AYMERIC Never before have we been required to contend with a primal. Indeed, there were fears in some quarters that our knights might not be equal to the task.
194 190 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02400_F00030_AYMERIC From what we have now learned of these beings, I can say with certainty that we would have lost a great many men had the Scions not intervened.
195 191 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02400_F00040_ALPHINAUD Then the argument for preemptive action should be self-evident. Perchance now you will reconsider my proposal that Ishgard move against Natalan?
196 192 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02400_F00050_AYMERIC Ere we first met, a similar proposal was tabled─but the Holy See decreed that we were to observe, and that military action should be taken only in self-defense.
197 193 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02400_F00060_AYMERIC All things considered, it was not an unreasonable decision. Since the Calamity, two vigils have fallen to the Horde, while Garuda has never shown any inclination to storm the Gates of Judgement.
198 194 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02400_F00070_AYMERIC ...Which is why this unprecedented crisis and its resolution may prompt a change in policy.
199 195 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02400_F00080_AYMERIC You who have faced these primals know well the threat they pose. Ishgard did not─not until now.
200 196 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02400_F00090_AYMERIC And there is naught like a brush with death to change a man's outlook.
201 197 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02400_F00110_HAURCHEFANT At the very least, this should silence any lingering objections to our arrangement with Revenant's Toll.
202 198 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02400_F00120_HAURCHEFANT The Holy See may even feel moved to grant us its formal endorsement.
203 199 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02400_F00130_AYMERIC So far as it is possible, the Scions shall be compensated for their service.
204 200 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02400_F00140_ALPHINAUD We should be grateful for any aid you can provide.
205 201 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02400_F00150_AYMERIC As a gesture of good faith, I shall withdraw my previous request. Your people are doubtless needed elsewhere.
206 202 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02400_F00160_ALPHINAUD That will not be necessary.
207 203 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02400_F00170_ALPHINAUD We too have a vested interest in watching Dravania's movements.
208 204 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02400_F00171_AYMERIC I see. Once more, I must thank you.
209 205 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02400_F00172_ALPHINAUD Ser Aymeric, if I may... Do you truly believe that Midgardsormr could return?
210 206 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02400_F00180_AYMERIC The heavens are a window unto truth, but those who interpret their movements are not infallible. I requested your involvement as a precautionary measure.
211 207 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02400_F00190_ALPHINAUD But of course... You sought an excuse to <Emphasis>compensate</Emphasis> us from the first, mindful of what would happen if Revenant's Toll were taken by your enemies.
212 208 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02400_F00200_ALPHINAUD Ishgard is not wont to aid its neighbors, but that does not preclude it from manipulating them to serve its own interests.
213 209 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02400_F00210_LUCIA (-Taciturn Temple Knight-)Choose your next words carefully.
214 210 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02400_F00220_AYMERIC Do you know what sort of man becomes lord commander of the Temple Knights?
215 211 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02400_F00230_AYMERIC One who comes from good stock. I did not, yet here I am. Now why do you suppose that is?
216 212 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02400_F00240_AYMERIC Because I swiftly learned to tell the difference between words, deeds, and beliefs.
217 213 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02400_F00250_AYMERIC ...You are correct, Master Leveilleur. Ishgard desires to see Revenant's Toll flourish, as it would present a troublesome obstacle to our enemies from the south.
218 214 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02400_F00260_ALPHINAUD We are so glad to be of use to you.
219 215 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02400_F00270_AYMERIC As we are to you. Ours is a mutually beneficial arrangement, lest we forget. One born of necessity.
220 216 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02400_F00280_AYMERIC The dragons grow more restless by the day, and the heretics harry us nigh without cease.
221 217 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02400_F00290_AYMERIC We have contended with such troubles for centuries, but there are limits to even our endurance.
222 218 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02400_F00300_AYMERIC Yet as a pauper is loath to part with his meager possessions, the leaders of Ishgard are not wont to render up their trust to outsiders.
223 219 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02400_F00310_AYMERIC But with perseverance on <Emphasis>our</Emphasis> part, they may yet be made to see the light.
224 220 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02400_F00320_AYMERIC Nevertheless, one must take care when walking the road less traveled.
225 221 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02400_F00330_ALPHINAUD Wise words, Ser Aymeric. I shall make a point to remember them.
226 222 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02400_F00340_ALPHINAUD I must apologize for my earlier outburst. I hope it will not sour our good relations.
227 223 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02400_F00350_AYMERIC Not at all. You but spoke from the heart.
228 224 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02400_F00360_AYMERIC I trust you understand that, at times, my duties may prevent me from meeting with you.
229 225 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02400_F00370_AYMERIC On such occasions, my second-in-command will speak for me.
230 226 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02400_F00380_LUCIA (-Lucia-)Lucia, at your service.
231 227 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02400_F00390_LUCIA (-Lucia-)Pray excuse our reticence. We are but wary of speaking too freely, lest our sentiments be made known to our enemies.
232 228 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02400_F00400_LUCIA (-Lucia-)Know that the lord commander and I are of one mind. For the sake of Ishgard─and of Eorzea at large─I pray our peoples can put aside their differences.
233 229 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02400_F00410_LUCIA (-Lucia-)Those who dwell in the past risk losing sight of their future.
234 230 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02400_F00420_AYMERIC Should aught befall one of our shipments, pray inform Lucia immediately. You may also relay to her any words you might have for me alone.
235 231 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02400_F00430_AYMERIC Not being of Ishgardian birth, she owes no allegiance to any noble house, making her as near to incorruptible as one can find in my homeland. Suffice it to say, I trust her completely, and so may you.
236 232 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02400_F00440_AYMERIC Which reminds me─ Lord Haurchefant, if you would be so kind.
237 233 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02400_F00450_HAURCHEFANT Certainly.
238 234 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02400_F00460_AYMERIC In times such as these, trust is ever in short supply. Mayhap this will go some way to rectify the problem.
239 235 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02400_F00470_AYMERIC The results of our investigation into the heretics' recent attacks, as well as our interrogation of the merchant you detained.
240 236 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02400_F00480_ALPHINAUD Ser Aymeric... I cannot thank you enough.
241 237 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02400_F00490_AYMERIC Think nothing of it. Ishgard may be many things, but it is no friend to Garlemald.
242 238 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02400_F00500_HAURCHEFANT Did I not tell you to have faith, my friend?
243 239 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02400_G00010_MINFILIA Words cannot well express how glad I am to see you returned to us hale and whole.
244 240 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02400_G00011_MINFILIA Needless to say, I am most eager to hear your account of that which occurred in Coerthas─assuming you are ready to speak of it?
245 241 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02400_G00020_MINFILIA Excellent. I shall summon the others at once.
246 242 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02400_G00030_MINFILIA Iceheart used <Emphasis>her own body</Emphasis> as a vessel for a primal's soul?
247 243 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02400_G00040_YSHTOLA Master Louisoix's writings make no mention of such a possibility. Can we be certain this entity was a primal?
248 244 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02400_G00050_PAPALYMO As certain as we can be that Good King Moggle Mog XII was a primal, I should think. Both were ostensibly summoned.
249 245 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02400_G00060_THANCRED Let's not quibble over definitions. Of more concern is the implication that Iceheart retained her will even after she was possessed. We are talking about a mortal wielding the power of a primal!
250 246 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02400_G00070_YDA It can't possibly be that easy, can it? There must be some sort of sacrifice required. Or maybe she's just special?
251 247 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02400_G00080_URIANGER What qualities this woman possesseth, I know not, but full sure am I that she was groomed for this role.
252 248 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02400_G00090_URIANGER Few are privy to the secrets of summoning, and but a single party standeth to profit from their dissemination.
253 249 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02400_G00100_MOENBRYDA Well, I wouldn't presume to comment on how the lass came to know about summoning, but I <Emphasis>will</Emphasis> say that what she summoned was a primal. The readings were the same, or near as damn it.
254 250 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02400_G00110_MOENBRYDA Strange as it all sounds, it's really no different from what you've faced before.
255 251 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02400_G00120_YSHTOLA Then mayhap it is time that we reexamined our previous encounters.
256 252 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02400_G00130_PAPALYMO Pack your things, Yda. We're going back to Gridania.
257 253 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02400_G00140_YDA Yes sir!
258 254 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02400_G00150_MINFILIA About Iceheart's final words to you...
259 255 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02400_G00200_MINFILIA "Hear... Feel... Think...“
260 256 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02400_G00210_MINFILIA Hydaelyn speaks to <Emphasis>her</Emphasis> as well.
261 257 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02400_G00211_MINFILIA If Iceheart is blessed with the power of the Echo, she will doubtless have used it to further her goals.
262 258 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02400_G00212_MINFILIA ...Or could it be that it was a revelation granted her by the Echo which first set her on this path? She did say that the Ishgardians were blind to the truth.
263 259 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02400_G00213_MINFILIA Do you think she has knowledge of the origins of the Ishgardian-Dravanian war? It would do much to explain her unwavering conviction.
264 260 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02400_G00220_URIANGER Did not the Lady Iceheart implore thee to seek the Keeper of the Lake? And did she not imply that in so doing thou wouldst come to see with eyes unclouded?
265 261 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02400_G00230_MINFILIA Midgardsormr was a king amongst kings who reigned for centuries on end... But he is dead, and his wisdom lost to the ages─unless the Ishgardians' fears are well founded...
266 262 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02400_G00240_MINFILIA It would seem we have yet another reason to stand watch over the Keeper of the Lake. For a mercy, we are well positioned to do so.
267 263 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02400_G00280_MINFILIA Iceheart, Shiva, Ascians, and Midgardsormr. I shudder to think how they are all connected...
268 264 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02400_H00010_TELEDJIADELEDJI I have heard. Truly bothersome business.
269 265 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02400_H00020_TELEDJIADELEDJI No, I do not foresee a problem on that front. The main concern is Raubahn─there is no telling what the brute might do.
270 266 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02400_H00030_TELEDJIADELEDJI Have the Blades watch him and the Flames day and night.
271 267 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02400_H00040_TELEDJIADELEDJI You may leave the sultana to me. I shall personally attend Her Grace.
272 268 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02400_H00050_TELEDJIADELEDJI <sigh>
273 269 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02400_H00060_TELEDJIADELEDJI Sever one of the East Aldenard trade routes. That ought to keep Lolorito occupied for a while.
274 270 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02400_H00070_TELEDJIADELEDJI Nanamo Ul Namo... For my sake, pray be a good little sultana to the last.
275 271 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02400_I00010_MINFILIA Welcome back, my friend. I have already received word from Alphinaud.
276 272 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02400_I00011_MINFILIA To think that Flame Marshal Roaille was the Garlean agent... I know not what to say.
277 273 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02400_I00020_MINFILIA Together with Raubahn, Eline lent us much-needed aid at the time of our order's founding. She was particularly passionate about the need to tackle the primal threat.
278 274 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02400_I00030_MINFILIA When we discussed the subject, her eyes fairly shone with determination. Whatever else she may have been, I choose to believe that it was her true self with whom I spoke then...
279 275 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02400_I00040_MINFILIA But now is not the time to dwell on such matters.
280 276 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02400_I00050_MINFILIA I have an important announcement to make regarding our effort to defeat the Ascians. We shall begin as soon as everyone is assembled.
281 277 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02400_I00060_MINFILIA My thanks for coming, friends. Moenbryda, the floor is yours.
282 278 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02400_I00070_MOENBRYDA By now, I'm sure you're all familiar with white auracite, the miraculous material that'll allow us to capture Ascian souls.
283 279 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02400_I00080_MOENBRYDA Back at Snowcloak, we verified its ability to absorb vast amounts of aether.
284 280 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02400_I00090_MOENBRYDA Alas, it leaves something to be desired in the area of stability. The stone can only store aether for a short while before expelling its contents.
285 281 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02400_I00100_URIANGER In addition to auracite's inherent limitations, we must needs be wary of our enemy's strength.
286 282 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02400_I00110_URIANGER Our foe draweth upon an infinite wellspring of power. Even should we succeed in entrapping him, the stone will not long contain his wrath.
287 283 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02400_I00120_MOENBRYDA Meaning that if we want to kill the swine, we'll have to be quick about it.
288 284 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02400_I00130_URIANGER 'Tis our belief that an Ascian soul may be permanently undone if smitten by a sufficiently concentrated burst of pure aether.
289 285 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02400_I00140_MOENBRYDA The only trouble is, we can't say for sure how concentrated the burst needs to be... Without knowing how much aether an Ascian soul is composed of, we're basically guessing.
290 286 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02400_I00150_URIANGER Our sole clue lieth in thy struggle with Lahabrea.
291 287 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02400_I00160_MINFILIA During that encounter, Hydaelyn bid you forge what She called “a blade of Light,” a weapon which took the form of a luminous stream of energy.
292 288 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02400_I00170_MINFILIA Based on your description, we believe the “blade” with which you vanquished your foe was composed of aether.
293 289 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02400_I00180_MINFILIA Admittedly, your victory proved ephemeral, as Lahabrea was able to use a Crystal of Darkness to flee into the space that lies between our world and the void.
294 290 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02400_I00190_MINFILIA The fact remains, however, that Hydaelyn placed the means to destroy the Ascians in your hands.
295 291 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02400_I00200_MINFILIA Be that as it may, it would be unwise to assume that She will do the same when next we encounter such a foe.
296 292 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02400_I00210_URIANGER Quite so, my lady. We must needs find the means to forge our own blade of aether─one to equal that which Hydaelyn did benevolently bestow upon Her champion.
297 293 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02400_I00220_PAPALYMO That is all well and good, but it seems to me that producing such a blade will require a prodigious quantity of aether. Whence will it come, pray tell?
298 294 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02400_I00230_YDA Ummm... Oh! What if we had <Emphasis>two</Emphasis> pieces of white auracite? One to trap the Ascian, and the other to store the aether for the blade!
299 295 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02400_I00240_MOENBRYDA Nice try, but it's as I said: the stone won't hold aether for any length of time. We'd still need to collect the stuff there and then, sorry to say.
300 296 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02400_I00250_THANCRED And therein lies the rub: finding a way to create the blade whenever and wherever we choose.
301 297 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02400_I00260_YSHTOLA 'Twould seem more research is in order.
302 298 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02400_I00270_MOENBRYDA I'm going to linger awhile─perform a few more tests on the auracite.
303 299 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02400_I00280_MOENBRYDA And I could do with some help. Urianger, why don't you lend me a hand?
304 300 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02400_I00290_URIANGER M-Mine apologies, but I am required at the Waking Sands.
305 301 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02400_I00300_URIANGER Lady Minfilia hath given me sole charge of the premises. 'Twould be unseemly to leave them unattended.
306 302 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02400_I00310_MOENBRYDA "Sole charge,“ you say? So...you're basically <Emphasis>alone</Emphasis> there, then? Well, that settles it! I'll just have to come to you!
307 303 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02400_I00320_MINFILIA While you were afield, word arrived from the Sharlayan motherland.
308 304 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02400_I00330_MINFILIA You will recall that a survey party was dispatched to investigate the incident at the Isle of Val. What they discovered was troubling to say the least.
309 305 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02400_I00340_MINFILIA According to the report, the isle has been erased from existence. 'Twas as if a hole had been torn in the very fabric of reality.
310 306 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02400_I00350_URIANGER Aye...yet the mystery endeth not with the isle's disappearance.
311 307 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02400_I00360_URIANGER It hath come to light that a number of scholars in various other locales were reported missing at a similar juncture.
312 308 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02400_I00370_MOENBRYDA What's more, they all had something in common with the head of the Students of Baldesion. Every last one of them was researching a phenomenon called dimensional compression─or the “Rejoining,” as the ancient texts call it. I'll be damned if <Emphasis>that's</Emphasis> a coincidence.
313 309 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02400_I00380_MINFILIA All indications suggest Ascian involvement, but I sense that a force greater still is at work─the entity the dark beings call “the one true god”...
314 310 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02400_I00390_MINFILIA We must pray that my dear friend Krile regains consciousness soon. If she bore witness to the Isle of Val's final moments, she may be able to shed some light on this mystery...
315 311 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02400_J00010_RAUBAHN Following the Calamity, the forces of the XIVth Imperial Legion entrenched themselves in strategic locations across Eorzea.
316 312 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02400_J00020_RAUBAHN So swiftly did they accomplish this, it was suspected that they had received help. To think that it came from Roaille... My right hand.
317 313 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02400_J00030_ILBERD There is more. We have reason to believe that Roaille didn't deal exclusively with the XIVth. She also answered to a higher authority in Garlemald.
318 314 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02400_J00040_ILBERD But this higher authority could not have been the Emperor. By consenting to the Meteor project, Solus zos Galvus showed himself to be more concerned about preventing the spread of primal influence than claiming Eorzea for the Empire. He would happily have seen the lot reduced to ash.
319 315 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02400_J00050_ILBERD We believe a number of high-ranking figures within the royal household were against the decision, but that they knew better than to oppose the Emperor openly. Of course, this didn't prevent them from making clandestine provisions, in which Roaille played a part.
320 316 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02400_J00060_ALPHINAUD Alas, these provisions did not prevent Dalamud from falling, and the ensuing chaos changed the face of the realm forever. Yet Eorzea survived.
321 317 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02400_J00070_ALPHINAUD To all intents and purposes, the Meteor project had failed, and the Empire was left to rue its lack of a decisive means to eliminate the primals. Until, that is, it stumbled upon the Ultima Weapon.
322 318 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02400_J00080_RAUBAHN Even before the accursed thing was dug up, it seemed to me the XIVth had the might to overwhelm our weakened armies. Yet they chose to hide behind their walls. Why?
323 319 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02400_J00090_ALPHINAUD The Black Wolf was wary of making the denizens of Eorzea desperate, lest more primals emerge to bleed the land. The discovery of the Ultima Weapon, however, emboldened him to resume his war of conquest in earnest.
324 320 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02400_J00100_ILBERD But there was one in Garlemald who believed that van Baelsar's actions were premature─one who stood higher in the imperial army's chain of command. He ordered the legatus to halt his advance, only to find that the Black Wolf had slipped its leash, and that the XIVth now acted alone.
325 321 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02400_J00110_ILBERD In a bid to bring van Baelsar to heel, he used the agent he had planted in Ul'dah prior to the Calamity to undermine the legion's efforts.
326 322 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02400_J00120_RAUBAHN A man who outranks van Baelsar, yet opposed the late emperor's decision to annihilate Eorzea... This could only be the former high legatus of the Garlean Army, now known as Emperor Varis zos Galvus.
327 323 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02400_J00130_RAUBAHN So he was Roaille's true master...
328 324 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02400_J00140_ILBERD But one of several, in actual fact. We've learned that even as Roaille served the Empire's interests, she sold imperial secrets to a certain faction in Eorzea.
329 325 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02400_J00150_ILBERD In so doing, she helped to maintain the status quo, thus prolonging the conflict. Considering who stands to profit from war, it isn't hard to imagine who her other masters were.
330 326 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02400_J00160_RAUBAHN Seven hells... You mean to say that she was a double agent?
331 327 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02400_J00170_ILBERD Triple, if you consider her services to van Baelsar and the new emperor as separate.
332 328 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02400_J00180_ALPHINAUD As neatly as these pieces seem to fit, one aspect of the puzzle remains unclear to me.
333 329 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02400_J00190_ALPHINAUD By whose will was the marshal feeding intelligence to the heretics? Try as I might, I fail to see how aiding their cause would profit either her imperial or Monetarist masters.
334 330 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02400_J00200_ALPHINAUD Could it be that another hand is at work here? If so, Roaille must be made to reveal whose it is.
335 331 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02400_J00210_RAUBAHN Not only have I lost a trusted friend; now I must interrogate her as a stranger.
336 332 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02400_J00220_ILBERD Not a pleasant task, I grant you, but a necessary one. Unless we weed out the Ivy, root, stalk, and stem, it will simply grow back.
337 333 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02400_J00230_RAUBAHN I know that full well. Those closest to Roaille have already been detained, and I will question them alongside her.
338 334 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02400_J00240_ALPHINAUD General. Pray keep in mind that there may be unwitting abettors among them.
339 335 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02400_J00250_RAUBAHN All will be treated fairly─on that you have my word. Those who are innocent have no cause to fear.
340 336 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02400_J00260_ALPHINAUD You have ever been a friend of truth, General. I hope the unpleasant task of weeding out falsehood will not detain you too long. Though it be for the sake of Eorzea, doubting one's comrades is poison to the soul.
341 337 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02400_J00270_ALPHINAUD ...And with that, I take my leave.
342 338 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02400_J00280_RAUBAHN All these years, I've been made to dance to their tune...
343 339 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02400_J00290_RAUBAHN How could you, Roaille? How could you side with <Emphasis>them</Emphasis>...?
344 340 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02400_J00300_RAUBAHN ...Those <Emphasis>cankers</Emphasis> who take from this land and give naught in return─who use their power to disempower, and grow fat while the people starve!
345 341 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02400_J00310_RAUBAHN I know you can hear me, Monetarist scum! Your crimes will not go unpunished!
346 342 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02400_J00320_RAUBAHN One day, I will purge this land of your sickness! Before the eyes of the Twelve, I swear it!
347 343 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02400_J00330_RAUBAHN Raaaaaargh!
348 344 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02400_K00010_NANAMOULNAMO I shall have no further need of you this day.
349 345 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02400_K00020_LADYINWAITING2 (-Lady-In-Waiting-)Your Grace.
350 346 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02400_K00030_NANAMOULNAMO I fear that not even mine own chambers shall remain private for long.
351 347 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02400_K00040_KANESENNA Has the situation grown so grim?
352 348 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02400_K00050_NANAMOULNAMO Ever since he proposed the Carteneau Reclamation Bill, Teledji Adeledji has risen to greater prominence upon the backs of impoverished refugees.
353 349 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02400_K00060_NANAMOULNAMO The Monetarists were ever united in their pursuit of profit, but the man's actions have torn a rift in their ranks. They snap at each other as rabid dogs.
354 350 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02400_K00070_NANAMOULNAMO Yet now is not the time to be bickering among ourselves.
355 351 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02400_K00080_MERLWYB If this bickering is a threat to law and order, might you not have grounds to dissolve the Syndicate?
356 352 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02400_K00090_NANAMOULNAMO Would that the solution were so simple, Admiral. Alas, my moving to dissolve the Syndicate is certain to spark outrage among the influential merchant class, whom the cabal represents.
357 353 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02400_K00100_NANAMOULNAMO This would serve to exacerbate the current unrest, and peace would slip still further away.
358 354 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02400_K00110_NANAMOULNAMO Be they rich or poor, natives or refugees, all who reside in Ul'dah have a right to pursue happiness. It is the duty of a ruler to protect this right.
359 355 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02400_K00120_NANAMOULNAMO If I am to perform my duty, I must needs tread warily. It would not do to make enemies heedlessly.
360 356 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02400_K00130_NANAMOULNAMO Were Lord Lolorito here, he would doubtless say that I have my head in the clouds.
361 357 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02400_K00140_KANESENNA A ruler is required to take a wide view. Try as we might to cater to all needs, some will inevitably be overlooked. As such, there shall ever be citizens who feel aggrieved. It cannot be helped.
362 358 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02400_K00150_KANESENNA But as you have informed us, the Monetarists take no view but their own. They hunger for power while the masses starve.
363 359 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02400_K00160_KANESENNA In the absence of a common cause, it seems beyond any one individual to make Ul'dah whole.
364 360 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02400_K00170_MERLWYB And the presence of a Garlean agent within the Immortal Flames only makes matters worse.
365 361 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02400_K00180_MERLWYB Even accounting for Ul'dah's historic reliance upon mercenaries, such a grievous breach of security is unprecedented. I fear this business will provide the Monetarists with a rod to beat Raubahn.
366 362 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02400_K00190_KANESENNA Eorzea can ill afford for the Immortal Flames to be dampened now. Ere long, the Garleans will turn their ravenous gaze toward our lands once more. If we are to resist their might, our nations must stand together.
367 363 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02400_K00200_KANESENNA Yet for this to happen, our nations must be whole. Can naught be done to improve the situation in Ul'dah?
368 364 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02400_K00210_NANAMOULNAMO The true wealth of Ul'dah lies in the health, happiness, and hopes of her citizens. Alas, the citizens shall never know these things so long as their lives are ruled by the ambitions of the few.
369 365 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02400_K00220_NANAMOULNAMO The Monetarists claim to represent the best interests of the people, but in sooth they desire only to manipulate them for their own selfish ends.
370 366 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02400_K00230_NANAMOULNAMO For the government to serve the people, it must be formed of the people.
371 367 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02400_K00240_NANAMOULNAMO For Ul'dah to move forward, it is not only the Syndicate that must be dissolved.
372 368 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02400_K00250_MERLWYB Nay... You jest...
373 369 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02400_K00260_NANAMOULNAMO My friends─it was for no other reason than to make known to you mine intent that I requested your presence here.
374 370 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02400_K00270_NANAMOULNAMO When I make my declaration to the people, chaos shall inevitably ensue.
375 371 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02400_K00280_NANAMOULNAMO As the last monarch in the line of Ul, I make unto you this request.
376 372 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02400_K00290_NANAMOULNAMO Help Raubahn to preserve order, and protect the people. Forsake them, and you forsake yourselves, for a strong Eorzea will ever have need of a strong Ul'dah.
377 373 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02400_K00300_KANESENNA Your Grace... Are you certain of this?
378 374 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02400_K00310_NANAMOULNAMO There is no other way.
379 375 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02400_K00320_NANAMOULNAMO When the time is ripe, the nation shall become a true republic. Both Royalists and Monetarists shall cease to be.
380 376 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02400_K00330_NANAMOULNAMO Ul'dah will no longer belong to kings or queens or merchant princes, but to her people.
381 377 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02400_K00340_NANAMOULNAMO Raubahn... Forgive me for casting aside all that you have toiled for in my name...
382 378 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02400_K00350_NANAMOULNAMO Beyond this gesture, I am powerless to help my subjects.

65 61 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02401_500120_ALPHINAUD 'Twould also explain why Eorzea was so terribly warped. Even as the land sought to restore itself, the returning flow of aether was cut off.
66 62 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02401_500130_LOUISOIX Very good. When his grip on existence was once again secured, Bahamut did not cease his feast until he had consumed every last mote of aether that yet floated in the air.
67 63 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02401_500140_ALISAIE And <Emphasis>still</Emphasis> he was not fully restored...
68 64 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02401_500150_LOUISOIX You must remember that by this time, much of the freed aether had already returned to the land. That which remained was not sufficient to reconstruct so massive a form in its entirety.
69 65 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02401_500160_LOUISOIX But there did not need to be─not for a being sustained by the marvels of Allagan technology.
70 66 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02401_500170_LOUISOIX As long as some piece of Bahamut persists, the coils will seek it out and continue their regenerative task.
71 67 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02401_500180_LOUISOIX The fragments of Dalamud appear motionless from the surface, but deep beneath the ground they had been searching...tunneling through rock and soil towards their escaped prisoner.
72 68 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02401_500190_LOUISOIX And, as you have observed for yourselves, they found his heart.
73 69 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02401_500200_LOUISOIX Warrior of Light, heed me. You must put a stop to Bahamut's regeneration.
74 70 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02401_500210_LOUISOIX Whether it be for man or for dragonkind, the question of justice is irrelevant. The elder primal will leave naught but a smoldering wasteland for both his children and ours.
75 71 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02401_500220_LOUISOIX I beg you to defend Eorzea─as you always have, and as I always knew you would.
76 72 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02401_500230_LOUISOIX I beg you to defend Eorzea, and guide its people to the future they yet struggle to find.
77 73 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02401_500240_LOUISOIX This portal will take you to the final internment hulk. 'Tis time for the tale of Bahamut and his part in the Calamity to come to an end!
78 74 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02401_500250_LOUISOIX Alphinaud, Alisaie. Pray come closer.
79 75 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02401_500260_LOUISOIX Your hopes and dreams must no longer be an extension of mine. You must needs find your own reason to fight for this realm─your own meaning in this sea of chaos.
80 76 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02401_500270_LOUISOIX Will you do that for me?
81 77 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02401_500280_ALPHINAUD Of course, Grandfather. I have already made it my mission to see this newborn Eorzea survive and flourish.
82 78 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02401_500290_LOUISOIX Alisaie. While I was yet in thrall to Bahamut, you spoke of my faith in man's strength. Know that your words reached me, imprisoned though my soul still was.
83 79 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02401_500300_LOUISOIX So forceful was your conviction, I wonder if that belief has not become your own. Perhaps, after all your anger and sorrow was spent, you found something greater within you.
84 80 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02401_500310_LOUISOIX See this fight to its culmination. 'Tis also <Emphasis>your</Emphasis> strength in which I have faith.
85 81 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02401_500320_ALISAIE Thank you...for everything... Pray take your rest, Grandfather... You deserve it.
86 82 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02401_500330_LOUISOIX There are records of an art that allowed one to summon the power of a primal from the essence of its demise.
87 83 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02401_500340_LOUISOIX And though I am no true primal, all that I have left, I give to you.
88 84 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02401_500350_LOUISOIX Alphinaud. Alisaie. My darling grandchildren. May Light's blessings ever keep and protect you.
89 85 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02401_500360_ALISAIE Come, Warrior of Light. Our task remains undone!
90 86 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02401_600010_ALISAIE 'Twas a long and arduous road, but at last we reach its end.
91 87 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02401_600020_ALISAIE Farewell, Bahamut. I banish you back to the aether!
92 88 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02401_600030_ALISAIE He is not yet whole! I did not think him capable...
93 89 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02401_600040_ALISAIE Ah!
94 90 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02401_600050_ALPHINAUD Ugh!

96 92 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02401_600070_ALISAIE I had thought it finally over...
97 93 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02401_600080_ALISAIE We'll not survive another blast!
98 94 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02401_600090_ALISAIE No... Is this how I honor my promise to Grandfather?
99 95 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02401_600100_LOUISOIX You must needs find your own reason to fight for this realm─your own meaning in this sea of chaos. Will you do that for me?
100 96 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02401_600110_ALISAIE I will, Grandfather. In fact, I believe I already have.
101 97 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02401_600120_ALISAIE That reason has been with me all along, guiding me─Eorzea's blade of Light, shearing through the endless shrouds of darkness...
102 98 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02401_600130_ALISAIE I have been shown the miraculous feats of which we are all capable. Of which <Emphasis>I</Emphasis> am capable.
103 99 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02401_600140_ALISAIE Bahamut! You have wreaked enough havoc!
104 100 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02401_600150_ALISAIE I will not let your wrathful fires consume all that we know and love!
105 101 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02401_600160_ALISAIE Ugh!
106 102 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02401_600170_ALPHINAUD How long I have waited to hear you say that! You have found your resolve at last!
107 103 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02401_600180_ALPHINAUD Let me join my strength to yours.
108 104 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02401_600190_ALPHINAUD In this place, in this moment, our purpose has become one!
109 105 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02401_600191_ALPHINAUDANDALISAIE (-Alphinaud and Alisaie-)For the future of Eorzea!
110 106 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02401_600200_ALISAIE This last task is yours, Warrior of Light! You must destroy Bahamut's crystal core!
111 107 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02401_700010_ALISAIE You did it!
112 108 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02401_700020_ALISAIE But one task remains...
113 109 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02401_700030_ALISAIE With this last coil disabled, there shall be naught left to bind Bahamut to this world. His beloved children will finally know peace...
114 110 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02401_700040_ALISAIE 'Tis done. He is truly gone.
115 111 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02401_700050_ALISAIE You knew, didn't you? You knew what Grandfather had become.
116 112 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02401_700060_ALPHINAUD I...was not certain. But from all I had gleaned, it seemed a distinct possibility.
117 113 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02401_700070_ALPHINAUD The scene people describe of the Battle of Carteneau was one of unimaginable devastation. And 'tis through the combined prayers of the desperate─and an abundant source of aether─that primals are born. I merely put two and two together.
118 114 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02401_700080_ALISAIE And you consider that a sufficient explanation?
119 115 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02401_700090_ALISAIE Well, however you stumbled across your theory, 'twas this revelation that made you wary of my attachment to Grandfather.
120 116 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02401_700100_ALISAIE You feared that in my obsession, I would fall under his primal sway. Is that why you decided to join us? To pull me back should I show signs of wavering?
121 117 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02401_700110_ALPHINAUD Pray forgive me, Sister. I wished only to protect you. Yet I see now that I needn't have doubted the strength of your conviction.
122 118 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02401_700120_ALPHINAUD May I ask you a question? What do you now intend to do with the truth you have uncovered?
123 119 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02401_700130_ALISAIE Which particular truth was that, Brother? The fact that desperate prayer gave rise to the primal Phoenix? That this new god was responsible for setting Eorzea on the path to rebirth?
124 120 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02401_700140_ALISAIE Should such a tale become common knowledge, people would soon offer up their prayers in earnest─they would beseech Phoenix to complete the healing that was begun.
125 121 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02401_700150_ALPHINAUD Yet as you and I know all too well, the very act of calling forth this savior would do more harm to the land than good.
126 122 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02401_700160_ALPHINAUD We cannot encourage such worship for this very reason. Were Grandfather forced to return as an aether-draining primal, 'twould undo all that he had worked to protect.
127 123 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02401_700170_ALPHINAUD Your abiding love for him was the key that unlocked the truth of the Calamity.
128 124 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02401_700180_ALPHINAUD But keys may also serve to seal doors that were best left unopened.
129 125 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02401_700190_ALPHINAUD Let your love now guide your actions, and lock away deep inside the fate of both Grandfather and Bahamut.
130 126 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02401_700200_ALISAIE Fear not, Alphinaud─I understand what must be done.
131 127 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02401_700210_ALISAIE The realm need not know the truth for it to be saved.
132 128 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02401_700220_ALISAIE That the elder primal is banished, to return no more...that is enough.
133 129 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02401_700230_ALISAIE Let us make our way back to the surface. Poor Urianger must be beside himself with worry!

18 14 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02500_000150_MINFILIA Urianger has the right of it. Whatever this alteration in the dragon star portends, the great wyrm has shown no sign of life.
19 15 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02500_000160_MINFILIA Tataru, have the Domans reported aught out of the ordinary?
20 16 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02500_000170_MOENBRYDA Correct me if I'm wrong, but if Midgardsormr had roared, wouldn't we have heard it here in Revenant's Toll?
21 17 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02500_000180_LUCIA “Roar” is but a figure of speech. Dravanians can communicate in ways beyond our ken.
22 18 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02500_000190_LUCIA It is for this very reason that we are forced to look for signs in the heavens. We cannot say with any confidence that a great wyrm roared at all, much less that it was Midgardsormr.
23 19 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02500_000200_LUCIA Only by directly examining the Keeper of the Lake can we be certain. However, it will take too long to gain the Holy See's approval to dispatch the Temple Knights.
24 20 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02500_000210_LUCIA Therefore, Ser Aymeric would entrust this task to you. Do you accept?
25 21 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02500_000220_LUCIA We knew you would not disappoint us. Now, if you would excuse me, I must return and assist the lord commander. We have precious little time to prepare.
26 22 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02500_000230_MINFILIA To prepare for what, pray tell?
27 23 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02500_000240_LUCIA When a great wyrm roars, his brethren cannot choose but answer. We prepare for battle.
28 24 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02500_100010_MIDGARDSORMR Who treadeth now upon my bones and waketh me from slumber sweet?
29 25 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02500_100020_MIDGARDSORMR Thou hast forgotten the face of thy lord. Remember, mortal, and fear me.

37 33 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02500_200080_MIDGARDSORMR I rise to join in the chorus.
38 34 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02500_200090_MIDGARDSORMR Thou art powerless to silence us, mortal. Yet thou shalt not live to labor in vain. Thy reprieve is at an end.
39 35 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02500_200100_MIDGARDSORMR Hmph. Trickery is thy shield. This frail, ignoble creature is not gifted, but chosen...
40 36 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02500_200110_MIDGARDSORMR Hearken to me, Hydaelyn! I remember...and I <Emphasis>consent</Emphasis>.
41 37 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02500_200120_MIDGARDSORMR Fear not, mortal... I shall not harm thee...
42 38 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02500_200130_MIDGARDSORMR Heh heh heh. Mayhap thou thinkest me an oathbreaker?
43 39 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02500_200140_MIDGARDSORMR Thou art mistaken. If thou comest to harm, it shall be by another's hand, not mine.
44 40 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02500_200150_MIDGARDSORMR I did but strip thee of thy mistress's feeble blessing.
45 41 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02500_200160_MIDGARDSORMR Thou didst profit much by Her grace, but no more.
46 42 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02500_200170_MIDGARDSORMR The covenant binds me to thee.
47 43 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02500_200180_MIDGARDSORMR I shall watch...listen...and <Emphasis>wait</Emphasis>.

49 45 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02500_200200_MIDGARDSORMR Man hath ever coveted that which lieth beyond his grasp.

52 48 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02500_200230_MIDGARDSORMR The Dragonsong heraldeth a beginning...and an end.
53 49 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02500_300010_LUCIA My friend! I can scarce believe it! You confronted the wyrm lord and lived to tell the tale!
54 50 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02500_300020_LUCIA I give thanks to Halone for your preservation. It is our sole cause for gladness.
55 51 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02500_300030_LUCIA Your encounter with the Keeper of the Lake served to confirm our fears. A great wyrm has roared, and it makes little difference if it was one of the two in Eorzea or any other...
56 52 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02500_300040_LUCIA The Dravanians are coming.
57 53 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02500_300050_ALPHINAUD I am told that Ishgard has magical defenses against Dravanian attack, though I am not privy to their exact nature.
58 54 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02500_300060_ALPHINAUD Will they be enough to repel a massive force?
59 55 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02500_300070_LUCIA Ishgard has weathered countless assaults over centuries. This will be no different.
60 56 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02500_300080_LUCIA And now that you have confirmed the threat, none can ignore the lord commander's calls for the wards to be strengthened.
61 57 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02500_300090_LUCIA I dare not presume to speak for him, but I expect the lord commander would sing your praises.
62 58 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02500_300100_LUCIA I must away, but we shall meet again soon.
63 59 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02500_300110_ALPHINAUD Countless assaults weathered...and this will be no different. Why am I not convinced?
64 60 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02500_400010_MOENBRYDA Now that everything's calmed down a bit─relatively speaking, I mean─I thought it might be a good time to share our progress on the weapon.
65 61 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02500_400020_MOENBRYDA I believe we're on the verge of a breakthrough.
66 62 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02500_400030_MINFILIA Well, don't keep us all in suspense.
67 63 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02500_400040_MOENBRYDA Just in case anyone's forgotten, let's start by reviewing what we already know. So! An Ascian is an immortal because its soul doesn't return to the aetherial realm when its host is defeated. Instead, it flees to the place that lies between our world and the void.
68 64 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02500_400050_MOENBRYDA Therefore, the first step to <Emphasis>permanently</Emphasis> defeating an Ascian is preventing its soul from making this journey. And if you recall, when we last gathered here, I had verified that white auracite has adequate capacity to entrap the beings, albeit only briefly.
69 65 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02500_400060_THANCRED Which left the small matter of their extermination.
70 66 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02500_400070_URIANGER Aye. To unmake an Ascian soul, one must needs smite it with a concentrated burst, or “blade,” of purest aether. However, we wanted for both the data and the means to forge such a weapon.
71 67 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02500_400080_MOENBRYDA Short of experimenting on an actual Ascian, you see, there's no way to gauge how much aether its soul is made of.
72 68 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02500_400090_MOENBRYDA As such, we don't know what aetheric density our blade needs to have in order for it to work.
73 69 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02500_400100_YDA So we'll just have to make the densest blade we can, and hope for the best! Though that would require a <Emphasis>lot</Emphasis> of aether...
74 70 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02500_400110_YDA Hang on a minute! Why didn't we think of this before!? White auracite can hold an absolute <Emphasis>heap</Emphasis> of aether, can't it!?
75 71 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02500_400120_PAPALYMO Please tell me you're joking. Gods' sakes, Yda! I feel as though I'm reliving the same scene over and over with you! How many times do you need to be told that white auracite cannot store aether for long periods?
76 72 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02500_400130_PAPALYMO Being intangible matter, aether is given to dispersion; only in its crystallized form is it a stable source of energy. I will test you later on this, so see to it you do not forget.
77 73 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02500_400140_YDA Ah...r-right, yes... It's all coming back to me...
78 74 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02500_400150_THANCRED So our hopes rest on good old crystals again, do they? While they are certainly reliable, they leave something to be desired in the area of portability.
79 75 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02500_400160_YSHTOLA Indeed. I am reminded of the quantity of corrupted crystals required to thwart Leviathan, and the extraordinary lengths to which the Lominsans went to transport them. What if it should prove that a similar quantity was needed to destroy an Ascian soul─or still <Emphasis>more</Emphasis>...?
80 76 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02500_400170_THANCRED I do not envy the poor sod who has to lug all of that around on the off chance that an Ascian appears.
81 77 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02500_400180_MOENBRYDA That's the very problem we set out to solve, and I reckon we've found the answer. If it isn't practical to lug around the aether we need, we'll just have to draw upon another source.
82 78 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02500_400190_MOENBRYDA And the only viable source is the land.
83 79 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02500_400200_YSHTOLA If you mean to tap the great river of aether, know that it will entail considerable risk. Meddling with the currents may well induce a surge like to the one which despoiled Mor Dhona.
84 80 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02500_400210_MOENBRYDA Give me a bit more credit, will you? Why would we need to tap the river when there're veritable <Emphasis>reservoirs</Emphasis> jutting out all over the land?
85 81 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02500_400220_MOENBRYDA Aye, I speak of corrupted crystals. It might be that their aspect is out of balance, but a crystal's a crystal─it contains aether, and we can help ourselves to it.
86 82 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02500_400230_THANCRED While corrupted crystals are indeed abundant, there is no guarantee that they will be in close proximity at a crucial moment.
87 83 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02500_400240_MOENBRYDA Ah, but what if we don't need them to be? What if we could tap their power from <Emphasis>afar</Emphasis>? A malm away, say?
88 84 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02500_400250_MOENBRYDA If we could do that, we'd have ready access to aether aplenty in almost every corner of Eorzea.
89 85 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02500_400260_MOENBRYDA I've yet to put my theories to the proof, but I've got a good feeling about this. If no one has any objections, I'd like to see where this avenue leads.
90 86 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02500_400270_MINFILIA If you think it worth your while, you have my blessing.
91 87 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02500_400280_MINFILIA But tell us, what <Emphasis>are</Emphasis> your theories? I for one am most eager to understand the process, however vaguely.
92 88 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02500_400290_MOENBRYDA I thought you might say that. But no one wants to listen to boring old theories all day, do they? I know I don't. So, with your permission, I'd like to try something a bit more hands-on. I've already built an aetheric siphon especially for this purpose, and I've been meaning to try it out.
93 89 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02500_400300_MOENBRYDA Thing is, the profusion of corrupted crystals in Mor Dhona makes it something of a high-risk testing ground. If anything goes awry with the siphon, it would be better if it didn't happen within spitting distance of quite so much aether.
94 90 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02500_400310_MOENBRYDA Ideally, I need an isolated specimen. Does anyone know where I can find one?
95 91 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02500_400320_ALPHINAUD May I suggest northern Thanalan? There you will find corrupted crystals of middling size, standing a reasonable distance apart. Ideal for your needs, I should have thought. Oh, and if you do elect to visit the place, I should be much obliged if you would assist me in another matter while you are in the area.
96 92 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02500_400330_MINFILIA Has something happened?
97 93 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02500_400340_ALPHINAUD Movement has been observed at Castrum Meridianum.
98 94 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02500_400350_ALPHINAUD During Operation Archon, the Alliance dealt the stronghold a heavy blow. Its facilities were extensively damaged, and its garrison reduced to a fraction of its former strength.
99 95 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02500_400360_ALPHINAUD Not long after our forces withdrew, however, their ranks were replenished by reinforcements from Castrum Centri. They now seek to rebuild, and to this end they have their sights set upon the Ceruleum Processing Plant.
100 96 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02500_400370_ALPHINAUD Having lost the Empire's support, the XIVth Legion lacks the resources to sustain itself. To them, this is a bid for survival, and they will doubtless fight like desperate men.
101 97 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02500_400380_ALPHINAUD Though I have dispatched the Crystal Braves, I fear their strength alone may not suffice to stay the imperial assault. I would request the Scions' aid in the defensive effort.
102 98 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02500_400390_MOENBRYDA If I didn't know better, I'd say you were trying to inveigle us into fighting your battle with the promise of shiny crystals!
103 99 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02500_400400_MOENBRYDA Well then, consider me inveigled! I won't lie, the crystals you speak of sound perfect─so the Garleans have to go!
104 100 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02500_400410_MOENBRYDA Besides, we can't afford to beat about the bush. There's no telling when the Ascians will next appear.
105 101 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02500_400420_URIANGER Thine eagerness to hurl thyself into the jaws of danger cometh as little surprise. Exercise due caution, I prithee.
106 102 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02500_400430_MINFILIA Though you have become a Crystal Brave, you are yet a Scion, Alphinaud. We could hardly refuse you.
107 103 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02500_400440_MINFILIA Pray join the Crystal Braves and lend them your support. Thancred and Papalymo shall accompany you.
108 104 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02500_400450_MINFILIA Yda and Y'shtola─in the meantime I would have you assist Moenbryda. Scout out the crystal clusters, that the testing may commence as soon as the Garlean threat has been eliminated.
109 105 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02500_400460_URIANGER If it please you, I shall continue mine own experiments on white auracite.
110 106 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02500_400470_MINFILIA Thank you, Urianger. Everyone, pray see to your preparations and depart as soon as you are able. Go well, and be safe.
111 107 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02500_500010_MOENBRYDA Hold on. I won't be a second.
112 108 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02500_500020_MOENBRYDA The beast seemed peckish, so I gave it a taste of my axe.
113 109 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02500_500030_MOENBRYDA I know, I know... As Urianger never tires of reminding me, “An axe ill becometh the hand of a scholar.” What can I say? I like axes. To hear my mother tell it, I came into this world holding one.
114 110 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02500_500040_MOENBRYDA And it's not as if it stopped me picking up a quill, is it? I often think of the man who introduced me to the joys of learning... He's one of the reasons I decided to come to Eorzea.
115 111 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02500_500050_MOENBRYDA ...Him and my excruciatingly stiff childhood friend. Considering how unalike we are, it's a wonder we ever got on. The world's a strange old place, isn't it?
116 112 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02500_500060_MOENBRYDA Aye, that ought to do it.
117 113 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02500_500070_MOENBRYDA So far, so good. At these concentrations, it shouldn't matter too much if something goes awry. Just enough aether to make it interesting.
118 114 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02500_500080_MOENBRYDA Did you see that? The way the crystal glowed?
119 115 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02500_500090_MOENBRYDA The siphon works, I'm happy to say. With a few refinements, it should satisfy our appetite for aether. Which just leaves the small matter of forging our blade.
120 116 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02500_500100_MOENBRYDA I'm not sure how to go about it just yet, but I swear to find a way. I'll put a blade in your hands if it's the last thing I do.

193 189 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02500_800050_PAPALYMO We were surveying northern Thanalan when we received the distress call.
194 190 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02500_800060_PAPALYMO We returned as swiftly as we were able.
195 191 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02500_800070_THANCRED It seems you have everything in hand, however.
196 192 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02500_800080_YSHTOLA What happened here? Where is Moenbryda?
197 193 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02500_800090_THANCRED She gave her life to temper the blade of Light? I...I have no words.
198 194 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02500_800100_YSHTOLA Rather than await the inevitable, she took her fate into her own hands.

200 196 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02500_800120_MINFILIA My friend. There is something I must tell you.
201 197 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02500_800130_URIANGER I heard all, my lady.
202 198 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02500_800140_URIANGER The moon sinketh, taking her leave of the heavens. Yet her passing heraldeth the coming of a new day. ...Moenbryda hath fulfilled her destiny, hath she not?
203 199 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02500_800150_URIANGER Long ago, far across the seas in the Sharlayan motherland, Moenbryda and I did study under the sage tutelage of Master Louisoix.
204 200 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02500_800160_URIANGER Full oft did he impress upon us that knowledge existeth to serve the greater good. This sentiment, however, was contrary to the nation's policy of neutrality, which censured intercedence in the affairs of foreign lands.
205 201 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02500_800170_URIANGER In spite of vehement opposition, he founded the Circle of Knowing and journeyed hither to the heart of Eorzea. Through his noble sacrifice was the realm spared its doom.
206 202 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02500_800180_URIANGER Yet this great soul, whom all should rightly have honored, was branded a pariah in his own land. His peers did accuse him of forsaking his duty as a man of learning, and of meddling in the course of history.
207 203 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02500_800190_URIANGER When he left Sharlayan behind, Master Louisoix gave no word to signal his intent to Moenbryda. Close as they were, as master and disciple, she was deeply wounded by the sudden exclusion from his confidence.
208 204 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02500_800200_URIANGER Above all, however, she was confused. Try as she might, she could ill comprehend her master's motive. The slanders that were heaped upon him after his passing served only to inflame the turmoil within her.
209 205 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02500_800210_URIANGER For years upon end, she knew not what to believe, torn as she was 'twixt the man whom she revered, and the man who forsook her and his duty both.
210 206 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02500_800220_MINFILIA The Louisoix I knew would never forsake his duty, much less one of his own.
211 207 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02500_800230_URIANGER This I know full well, my lady. 'Twas not for want of love that Master Louisoix hid his intent. He but desired that Moenbryda discover her own path, free of the shadow of his influence.
212 208 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02500_800240_URIANGER Long did I contemplate revealing the truth to her, and long did I hold my peace. After all, was it not Master Louisoix's wish that she come to the truth unaided? I told myself it was, and resolved to let her suffer.
213 209 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02500_800250_URIANGER Knowingly did I deny my friend the comfort she craved. And now she hath gone to her rest with doubt still in her heart.
214 210 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02500_800260_URIANGER Speakest thou in earnest? Did Moenbryda truly come to understand Master Louisoix's will before the end?
215 211 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02500_800270_URIANGER The realization hath set her free. She may now find the peace which hath for so long eluded her.
216 212 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02500_800280_URIANGER Oh, Moenbryda... My dearest... How I shall miss thee...
217 213 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02500_800290_MINFILIA Moenbryda gave her life that we might possess the means to defeat the Ascians.
218 214 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02500_800300_MINFILIA Her sacrifice must not be in vain. Let us continue her work on the blade of aether and see it to completion.
219 215 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02500_800310_URIANGER My lady. I would mourn Moenbryda in mine own way. I beg your permission to return to the Waking Sands.
220 216 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02500_800320_MINFILIA Of course, my friend. Take all the time you require. We shall be here should you have need of us.
221 217 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02500_900010_MINFILIA Forgive me, Moenbryda. Had I been quicker, or wiser...
222 218 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02500_900020_MINFILIA But I was not, and you paid the price.
223 219 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02500_900030_MINFILIA But you would not suffer us to wallow in our sorrow, would you? You would tell us to...pick ourselves up and get on with it.
224 220 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02500_900040_MINFILIA And so we shall. We shall defend this realm and her people to the last.
225 221 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02500_900060_MIDGARDSORMR Life for death. A fair exchange.

238 234 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02500_C00010_MINFILIA Alphinaud, it is good to see you. Tell me, what have you learned?
239 235 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02500_C00020_ALPHINAUD Pray summon the others. Everyone must hear my report.
240 236 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02500_C00030_MINFILIA So this was all but a taste of what's to come...
241 237 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02500_C00040_ALPHINAUD Indeed. The main host advances upon Ishgard as we speak.
242 238 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02500_C00050_PAPALYMO Whose vaunted defenses have been nullified.
243 239 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02500_C00060_YSHTOLA Shorn of its wards, the city will bear the full force of Nidhogg's fury.
244 240 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02500_C00070_YDA All those people...
245 241 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02500_C00080_THANCRED Alphinaud is right. The Dravanians cannot be allowed to prevail. If Ishgard falls, all of Eorzea will suffer the consequences.
246 242 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02500_C00090_ALPHINAUD Then you agree that we have no choice but to intervene. For the good of the realm, the Scions of the Seventh Dawn and the Crystal Braves must join the defense of Ishgard.
247 243 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02500_C00100_MINFILIA Let there be no ambiguity about what has been proposed. We would be directly intervening in the war.
248 244 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02500_C00110_MINFILIA But if all here believe the cause to be just, then to war we shall go.
249 245 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02500_C00120_MINFILIA The path we now embark upon is perilous, but I pray you will walk with us to the end.
250 246 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02500_C00130_MINFILIA For those we have lost. For those we can yet save.
251 247 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02500_C00140_ALPHINAUD Then it is settled. I shall inform the council of our intentions, and request that they contribute their own forces to the defense of Ishgard.
252 248 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02500_D00010_MERLWYB We are well aware of Ishgard's dilemma, and we agree with your assessment.
253 249 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02500_D00020_ALPHINAUD Then I trust there are no objections to the Crystal Braves' intervention?
254 250 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02500_D00030_RAUBAHN Ul'dah has none.
255 251 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02500_D00040_KANESENNA Gridania does not object.
256 252 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02500_D00050_MERLWYB The Crystal Braves are yours to command, Alphinaud. Do what you will. We shall pray for your success.
257 253 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02500_D00060_ALPHINAUD It was my hope that you would offer more substantial aid than prayer. I know it is within your means.
258 254 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02500_D00070_MERLWYB Do not presume that you have knowledge of our every concern. The Garleans and the beast tribes are but two of many.
259 255 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02500_D00080_MERLWYB We are not in a position to contribute greatly to the defense of Ishgard─not when our own homes are still under siege.
260 256 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02500_D00090_KANESENNA We dare not leave our interests in Carteneau undefended as well. Teledji Adeledji and his ilk would seize control of the territories in our absence.
261 257 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02500_D00100_ALPHINAUD The enemy is at their gates, and you would cower behind yours!?

263 259 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02500_D00120_MERLWYB Aye. <Emphasis>Support</Emphasis>. A handful of men and no more.
264 260 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02500_D00130_KANESENNA Would that we could commit more than a token force to this cause. Yet there <Emphasis>are</Emphasis> others to whom you might turn. The free companies ever want for work.
265 261 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02500_D00140_RAUBAHN Ah, yes, the free companies... They're not like to turn you down.
266 262 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02500_D00150_ALPHINAUD I beg your pardon!? You would entrust the survival of Ishgard to <Emphasis>sellswords</Emphasis>!?
267 263 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02500_D00160_ALPHINAUD Crises like these are the very reason why this alliance was formed! It is our duty to aid our fellow man!
268 264 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02500_D00170_MERLWYB My <Emphasis>duty</Emphasis> is to <Emphasis>my</Emphasis> country and <Emphasis>my</Emphasis> people.
269 265 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02500_D00180_MERLWYB If you expect us to place the welfare of a foreign power above our own, you're going to be sorely disappointed.
270 266 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02500_D00190_MERLWYB Lest you doubt, Limsa comes first, then the Alliance, and finally─circumstances permitting─Ishgard and the rest.
271 267 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02500_D00200_MERLWYB If you cannot understand so simple a concept, then you have no place at this table.
272 268 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02500_D00210_ALPHINAUD Forgive me, Admiral. I was...careless in my choice of words.
273 269 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02500_D00220_RAUBAHN I suggest you assemble a party of elite adventurers, assuming you haven't already. Your fellows served us well during Operation Archon. I daresay they will do so again.

275 271 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02500_D00240_RAUBAHN If we entrust the security of Ul'dah to the Brass Blades for a time, we can dispatch a larger force to Ishgard.

295 291 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02500_H00080_ALPHINAUD Were it not for your efforts, Ser Aymeric would never have become such a steadfast ally.
296 292 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02500_H00090_ALPHINAUD When he convinces his countrymen to rejoin the Alliance, we shall all reap the benefits─military <Emphasis>and</Emphasis> economic.
297 293 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02500_H00100_ALPHINAUD I tell you, we are on the cusp of a new era of unity and prosperity.

299 295 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02500_H00120_ALPHINAUD But I have faith that we will find an amicable solution in time.
300 296 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02500_H00130_ALPHINAUD And failing that, I'll have my trusty Warrior of Light box the ears of all concerned. Speaking of whom...?

310 306 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02500_J00060_AYMERIC I had hoped to speak in the presence of Her Grace, but it seems she has been delayed... That being the case, now would seem as good a time as any...
311 307 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02500_J00070_AYMERIC Honored friends! Pray allow me to convey Ishgard's warmest gratitude for your part in the defense of our lands.
312 308 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02500_J00080_AYMERIC 'Tis upon the success of this very alliance that my recommendation to throw open the Gates of Judgement shall be founded. With the blessing of the archbishop, it is my hope that Ishgard will soon be reunited with her long-estranged sister nations─and that Eorzea shall once more be as one!
313 309 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02500_J00090_ALPHINAUD Very well.
314 310 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02500_J00100_MINFILIA Is aught amiss?
315 311 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02500_J00110_ALPHINAUD Nothing to worry about. I shall return anon.
316 312 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02500_J00120_ALPHINAUD You wished a word, Yuyuhase?

319 315 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02500_K00030_NANAMOULNAMO You must be curious as to the reason for this private audience. The matter I would discuss, however, will soon make apparent the need for discretion.
320 316 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02500_K00040_NANAMOULNAMO I intend to abdicate the throne and dissolve the monarchy.
321 317 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02500_K00050_NANAMOULNAMO You have seen for yourself the storm of turmoil that howls through our streets. The government fails in its responsibilities, and my subjects suffer the consequences of our incompetence.
322 318 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02500_K00060_NANAMOULNAMO But I will see them suffer no longer. The victory feast shall provide the stage on which I declare the dissolution of the sultanate.
323 319 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02500_K00070_NANAMOULNAMO 'Tis mine intent that the ruling class of our golden city should take its place beside the common man in a fair and equitable republic. No more shall this nation bow to the whims of a privileged few.
324 320 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02500_K00080_NANAMOULNAMO Yet that which I propose will entail the tearing up of this city's very foundations. And even Raubahn with all his strength and influence will be hard-pressed to keep his footing on such treacherous ground.
325 321 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02500_K00090_NANAMOULNAMO Thus would I ask you to lend him a steadying hand.
326 322 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02500_K00100_NANAMOULNAMO You who have endured the wrath of innumerable foes are the one hero in whom I can place my trust. Will you do this thing for me?
327 323 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02500_K00110_NANAMOULNAMO I am truly grateful. More grateful than I can well express.
328 324 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02500_K00120_NANAMOULNAMO How much we have both changed since that day we met beneath the Sultantree... And the days ahead promise to change us further still. I hope that we will recognize ourselves when all of this is over...
329 325 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02500_K00130_NANAMOULNAMO Much of my dread for the coming days has been quieted...

343 339 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02500_M00030_TELEDJIADELEDJI Lord Commander. We have received an urgent message from the Holy See.
344 340 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02500_M00040_TELEDJIADELEDJI I am grieved to report that your serpentine foes have resumed their assault. Needless to say, your presence is urgently required. These knights have come to bear you swiftly home to Ishgard.

346 342 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02500_M00060_LUCIA We've had no such word from our men. And the timing is most fortuitous to catch us away from the city...
347 343 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02500_M00070_AYMERIC Most fortuitous indeed...

355 351 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02500_N00050_THANCRED Ah. If you're referring to that business with the Ultima Weapon, then you must understand─I-I wasn't myself...
356 352 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02500_N00060_BRASSBLADE02400 Under interrogation, an imperial prisoner revealed your involvement in numerous dealings with the enemy. We've also been investigating reports that you are a practitioner of forbidden arts.
357 353 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02500_N00070_BRASSBLADE02400 You'd best come along with us.
358 354 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02500_N00080_THANCRED You invite me to your party and now you want me to leave? I do so detest receiving mixed signals.
359 355 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02500_N00090_THANCRED Come, then. I believe I've lost my appetite for this farce of a celebration!
360 356 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02500_O00010_RAUBAHN You go too far, Lord Adeledji! By what right do you march armed soldiers into a royal banquet and eject state visitors without Her Grace's consent!?
361 357 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02500_O00020_RAUBAHN You treat the Brass Blades as your personal army, and show contempt for the throne with your every act. Leave us. Now.
362 358 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02500_O00030_TELEDJIADELEDJI Is that an order, General? Mayhap you have mistaken me for one of your Flames? You will find I am not so slavishly obedient. And you lecture <Emphasis>me</Emphasis> on personal armies!

364 360 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02500_O00050_TELEDJIADELEDJI I expect this is your idea of defending the nation, is it? This and diluting our forces through these distractions in Carteneau and Coerthas!
365 361 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02500_O00060_TELEDJIADELEDJI I do begin to see how the ranks of the Immortal Flames came to be riddled with Garlean sympathizers! You are plainly unfit for command!

367 363 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02500_O00080_TELEDJIADELEDJI You mean to say you don't know!? We caught the vaunted champion of the Scions in Her Grace's private chambers not moments after the deed was done!

374 370 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02500_P00040_TELEDJIADELEDJI Should you demand further proof, a vial with traces of the substance used to poison Her Grace was found upon the assassin's person.
375 371 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02500_P00050_YSHTOLA How very convenient.
376 372 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02500_P00060_TELEDJIADELEDJI You would speak of convenience?
377 373 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02500_P00070_TELEDJIADELEDJI Who persuaded Her Grace to host this celebration? A diversion which presented you and your confederates ample opportunity to commit the crime, and a crowd within which to fade from view! A more “convenient” occasion I could scarcely imagine!
378 374 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02500_P00080_MINFILIA How dare you! After all we have done for Ul'dah!
379 375 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02500_P00090_TELEDJIADELEDJI Hold your tongue, witch! I'll not be ensorcelled! I know all about the dark gift that you and your disciples wield!
380 376 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02500_P00100_TELEDJIADELEDJI Oh, yes...I've observed how you worked upon the minds of the Alliance leaders, bending them to your will!
381 377 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02500_P00110_TELEDJIADELEDJI And what of your <Emphasis>cordial</Emphasis> relationship with Ser Aymeric? For years, Ishgard abjured all contact with the outside world, and now the lord commander of the Temple Knights treats you with the familiarity of a childhood friend!
382 378 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02500_P00120_TELEDJIADELEDJI I'll tell you what I think─I think this desperate defense of Ishgard was but a ruse to deceive us into dividing our forces.
383 379 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02500_P00130_TELEDJIADELEDJI Your next move will be to charm your Coerthan allies into invading our lands!
384 380 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02500_P00140_PAPALYMO Now that is truly ridiculous.

392 388 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02500_Q00010_TELEDJIADELEDJI Plainly, the Royalists can no longer be relied upon to keep our nation safe. And so it falls to the Monetarists of the Syndicate to govern Ul'dah. But should you wish to help us, General, we would be more than happy to entrust the task of planning Her Grace's funeral to you.
393 389 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02500_Q00020_TELEDJIADELEDJI It seems only right that you should bury your precious sultana, and we will be glad to be rid of that burden.
394 390 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02500_Q00030_RAUBAHN I'll bet you will. You more than any man.
395 391 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02500_Q00040_TELEDJIADELEDJI ...Whatever do you mean?
396 392 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02500_Q00050_RAUBAHN I mean you had her killed, you black-hearted bastard!
397 393 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02500_Q00060_TELEDJIADELEDJI What rot! ...Though I did have sufficient motive, 'tis true. That young lady caused me no end of grief.
398 394 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02500_Q00070_TELEDJIADELEDJI She always was a most unwilling puppet. I daresay Her Grace was grateful that someone thought to cut her strings.
399 395 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02500_Q00080_RAUBAHN You would mock her? THEN MOCK HER FROM HELL!

401 397 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02500_Q00100_LOLORITO Have you lost your mind, General!? It is forbidden to draw steel in the royal chambers, much less slaughter our fellow Syndicate members!

427 423 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02500_Q00341_THANCRED When I realized the celebrations had turned sour, it seemed prudent to slip away and take stock of the situation.
428 424 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02500_Q00350_THANCRED 'Twould appear that much of the city is already under tight guard. It occurs to me that expanding the Brass Blades' authority may not have been such a wonderful idea after all...
429 425 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02500_Q00360_PAPALYMO The success of this plan was contingent upon those thugs having the run of the place. Just how long has this scheme been in motion?
430 426 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02500_Q00370_YSHTOLA The careful preparations, the maneuvering of forces... I am inclined to agree with the General's insistence that a deeper plot exists here.
431 427 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02500_Q00380_YDA So...would I be right in thinking we now have an excuse to pummel as many Brass Blades as we like?

433 429 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02500_Q00400_MINFILIA The sultana's assassination was but one part of the scheme. We too were its targets. And though we did not share poor Nanamo's fate, we are yet hobbled by the charges laid at our door. Where now might we seek refuge?
434 430 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02500_Q00410_PAPALYMO Where indeed. We may safely assume that our foe has thought to have the Rising Stones watched.
435 431 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02500_Q00420_THANCRED Forgive me for stating the obvious, but our choice of destination will matter little if we cannot secure an escape route out of Ul'dah.
436 432 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02500_Q00430_THANCRED Happily, I believe I can provide one. Papashan once told me about the passages hidden in the walls of the palace. If I recall correctly, the fireplace in Nanamo's chambers conceals the entrance to a tunnel.
437 433 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02500_Q00440_THANCRED It should lead outside the city, and allow us to avoid any messy confrontations.

481 477 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02500_U00020_ALPHINAUD Damn that man!
482 478 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02500_U00030_ALPHINAUD Teledji played me for a fool! I thought the Crystal Braves mine till the very moment I felt the blade at my back...
483 479 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02500_U00040_PIPPIN (-???-)There will be ample time for soul-searching later. For now, we must put some malms between us and Ul'dah.
484 480 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02500_U00050_BREMONDT Well, if it ain't the hero of the Scions! You look to me like a <If(PlayerParameter(4))>woman<Else/>man</If> in need of a nice, relaxin' carriage ride!
485 481 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02500_U00060_BREMONDT Well, would you look who it is! Need a ride? I doubt it'll be half as excitin' as the last trip we took─not if I have anythin' to say about it, anyway!
486 482 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02500_U00070_BREMONDT Let's not dawdle, eh? All aboard!
487 483 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02500_V00010_BREMONDT I was stockin' up on supplies over in Vesper Bay, you see, when your sister come up an' begged a favor. Said her brother was havin' some trouble down in Ul'dah, an' likely needed a helpin' hand gettin' away.
488 484 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02500_V00020_BREMONDT Thinkin' them ruins would make a fine hidin' place, I decided to try there first...an' lo an' behold, there you were.
489 485 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02500_V00030_BREMONDT Aye, an' judgin' by them soldiers as were pourin' out of the city, I arrived not a moment too soon...
490 486 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02500_V00040_BREMONDT Must've been fate that we happened to find <Emphasis>you</Emphasis> there though, eh?
491 487 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02500_V00050_ALPHINAUD I had thought to look out for Alisaie, but 'twould appear she was the one watching over me. I've made such a mess of things...
492 488 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02500_V00060_BREMONDT An' who might you be, young sir?
493 489 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02500_V00070_PIPPIN Pipin Tarupin, Vice Marshal of the Immortal Flames.
494 490 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02500_V00080_PIPPIN I had been on the Ala Mhigan front these past few moons, but an urgent communication called me back to Ul'dah.
495 491 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02500_V00090_PIPPIN Scarce had my boots touched the cobbles, though, when the streets erupted with cries of assassination. I immediately went in search of answers, and came across Master Alphinaud here. Needless to say, I did not think his imprisonment justified.
496 492 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02500_V00100_PIPPIN The blame plainly lies with the Monetarists. Their greed and corruption are well known to me, but for them to take advantage of the situation with such alacrity...
497 493 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02500_V00110_BREMONDT ...Was that “Pipin,” you said? Ain't that the name of General Aldynn's lad?
498 494 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02500_V00120_PIPPIN Yes, I am his son. Adopted, of course. 'Twas only as we were leaving Ul'dah that I learned of Father's fate.
499 495 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02500_V00130_PIPPIN Once I have seen you a safe distance away, I mean to return to the city and extricate him from this madness.
500 496 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02500_V00140_BREMONDT Then you needn't travel no further than Black Brush─our fugitives have a friend waitin' for 'em there.
501 497 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02500_V00150_ALPHINAUD I dreamed of bringing about Eorzea's salvation, but in the end...
502 498 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02500_V00160_ALPHINAUD 'Twas I who needed saving.
503 499 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02500_W00010_HAURCHEFANT There has been word from the capital. Ishgard has weathered another assault, and 'tis said several wyverns broke through into the city proper.
504 500 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02500_W00020_HAURCHEFANT The Temple Knights succeeded in slaying the beasts, but the intrusion prompted orders to further strengthen the guard and to place the city under a perpetual state of alert.
505 501 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02500_W00030_HAURCHEFANT How keenly we feel the loss of our wards at the Gates of Judgement...
506 502 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02500_W00040_HAURCHEFANT Yet we must not bemoan our misfortune. Ser Aymeric is safely returned from Ul'dah and once more leads the defense of Ishgard.
507 503 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02500_W00050_HAURCHEFANT As for the matter of your asylum, I am afraid no progress will be made until the threat to our nation has diminished.
508 504 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02500_W00060_HAURCHEFANT But do not despair! You are not without allies.
509 505 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02500_W00070_HAURCHEFANT You are more than welcome to shelter here for as long as you wish. Pray think of it as a new headquarters of sorts─the “Falling Snows” or some such!
510 506 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02500_W00080_HAURCHEFANT All frivolity aside, any who come here in search of you will receive no aid from House Fortemps. For once, the Ishgardian reputation for inhospitality shall work in our favor.
511 507 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02500_W00090_HAURCHEFANT Agents of Ul'dah will find their every inquiry dismissed, and their every request for entry rebuffed, until such time as their masters have acknowledged your innocence.
512 508 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02500_W00100_HAURCHEFANT You once fought to preserve the honor of my dear friend─'tis a blessing that I may now repay that debt in kind.
513 509 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02500_W00110_HAURCHEFANT But let us dwell no more on this. Pray join the rest of your companions.
514 510 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02500_W00120_HAURCHEFANT 'Tis bitterly cold this day. I suspect there are those who might welcome the warmth your presence brings.
515 511 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02500_X00010_ALPHINAUD 'Tis all my doing...
516 512 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02500_X00020_ALPHINAUD I believed myself the only one who truly understood Eorzea's woes. And look what that arrogance has wrought.
517 513 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02500_X00030_ALPHINAUD I gave commands, influenced governments with my certainty...
518 514 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02500_X00040_ALPHINAUD I treated the Crystal Braves, and even the Scions themselves, as pawns in my great scheme to save the realm.
519 515 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02500_X00050_ALPHINAUD But in my headlong rush unto imagined glory, I paid no heed to the ground upon which I trod!
520 516 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02500_X00060_ALPHINAUD The salvation of Eorzea... What was it that I hoped to achieve?
521 517 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02500_X00070_ALPHINAUD Did I believe that I could rid the realm of every danger and difficulty? That I could defeat the Empire and the Ascians, and find homes for every refugee?
522 518 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02500_X00080_ALPHINAUD Oh yes, I was so very clever. “Become a guardian of Eorzea,” I implored, and sat back to watch my perfect army cleanse the land of chaos.
523 519 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02500_X00090_ALPHINAUD 'Twas all but a means to feed my own vanity.
524 520 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02500_X00100_ALPHINAUD Only when all is lost do I finally realize the truth.
525 521 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02500_X00110_TATARU Oh, Alphinaud...
526 522 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02500_X00120_HAURCHEFANT So, Master Alphinaud, are you content to remain a broken blade? Is there no flame hot enough to reforge you?
527 523 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02500_X00130_HAURCHEFANT What of the fine companions who yet stand at your side? I daresay the fires of their determination will soon have you slicing the air again with your customary wit!
528 524 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02500_X00140_ALPHINAUD I hardly deserve such friendship. And besides, where are we to go...?
529 525 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02500_X00150_TATARU Alphinaud? If I may...?
530 526 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02500_X00160_TATARU Should this place not serve our purpose, then...then we shall go to Ishgard!
531 527 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02500_X00170_TATARU Minfilia told me many times: as long as we stand fast against despair, the beacon of hope will never be lost to sight.
532 528 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02500_X00180_TATARU Be it in the snow or in the clouds, we few will see that the dawn's light shines again!
533 529 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02500_X00190_TATARU <sniff> <sniff>
534 530 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02500_X00200_ALPHINAUD You are right, Tataru, thank you. And thank you for your kind words, Lord Haurchefant.
535 531 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02500_X00210_ALPHINAUD 'Tis true that Eorzea yet has her guardians.
536 532 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02500_X00220_ALPHINAUD The Scions have achieved much, and 'twould be remiss of me to discard it all in a fit of self-pity.
537 533 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02500_X00230_ALPHINAUD Let us then resume our journey, together...one step at a time.
538 534 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02500_Y00010_LADYINWAITING2 All has been arranged as you desired, my lord.
539 535 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02500_Y00020_LOLORITO Hmph.

110 106 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03001_A00020_THORDAN I have heard the tales of your many grand endeavors. The lord commander has also been most effusive in his praise.
111 107 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03001_A00030_THORDAN I am Thordan VII, Archbishop of the Ishgardian Orthodox Church, and I bade you come here that I might offer my personal apologies.
112 108 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03001_A00040_THORDAN You will forgive me for not calling upon you as courtesy would dictate, but as you can see, my more spritely days are long behind me. But I digress.
113 109 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03001_A00050_THORDAN Your companions were wrongly accused of heresy and subjected to gross indignities. This, I am sorry to say, was the result of negligence on the part of our nation's protectors─negligence born of an excess of zeal. Is that not so, Ser Zephirin?
114 110 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03001_A00060_ZEPHIRIN Yes, Your Eminence... Regrettably, it would appear that we of the Heavens' Ward were in receipt of erroneous information.
115 111 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03001_A00070_ZEPHIRIN Ser Grinnaux has ever been headstrong. He pressed charges before the truth had been ascertained, for which I most sincerely apologize.
116 112 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03001_A00080_THORDAN An unfortunate misunderstanding born of an earnest desire to serve Ishgard─but one which should never have occurred...
117 113 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03001_A00090_THORDAN For who could doubt the character of those who bested Shiva and drove the Horde from the Steps of Faith? Not I, that much is certain.
118 114 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03001_A00100_THORDAN That will be all, Ser Zephirin. I would speak with our guest in private.
119 115 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03001_A00110_ZEPHIRIN Your Eminence? I─
120 116 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03001_A00120_ZEPHIRIN As you wish, Your Eminence. That will be all for today!
121 117 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03001_A00130_THORDAN Privacy is a luxury rarely afforded one in my position.
122 118 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03001_A00140_THORDAN Now, tell me, young <If(PlayerParameter(4))>lady<Else/>man</If>: what do you know of the Ascians?
123 119 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03001_A00150_THORDAN Much and more, I shouldn't wonder, being the Bringer of Light. You should know that I myself have met with them─have entertained them as guests, even.
124 120 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03001_A00160_THORDAN Those harbingers of chaos and strife offered us power, that we might continue our war against the dragons.
125 121 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03001_A00170_THORDAN I have no intention of aiding their cause, of course, nor less of being their puppet.
126 122 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03001_A00180_THORDAN Yet were I to refuse them outright, I should learn naught of their true objectives and remain powerless to stop them.
127 123 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03001_A00190_THORDAN Thus have I hearkened to their words with interest, and paid lip service to their beliefs, biding my time and preparing for the inevitable conflict.
128 124 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03001_A00200_THORDAN And why do I tell you this? Because there is naught in this world they fear more than the power of the Warrior of Light.
129 125 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03001_A00210_THORDAN If we are to rid ourselves of these vile interlopers, we must needs work together. With our combined strength, I have faith that we can wrest Eorzea from their grasp, and pave the way for a lasting peace. Think on it.
130 126 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03001_B00010_ALPHINAUD There you are. I confess, I was more than a little concerned when I learned that you had been summoned to the Vault. What did they want with you?
131 127 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03001_B00020_ALPHINAUD Well, well. A formal apology and an admonishment of those responsible? I see my fears were wholly misplaced.
132 128 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03001_B00030_ALPHINAUD By the gods, the archbishop freely admits to consorting with Ascians? So their ambitions extend to Ishgard as well...
133 129 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03001_B00040_ALPHINAUD We will have new primals to contend with ere long, of that you may be certain. 'Tis but a matter of time. Yet shorn of the support of our missing allies, what can we realistically hope to achieve?
134 130 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03001_B00050_TATARU Ahhh! In the midst of all the excitement, I completely forgot to tell you!
135 131 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03001_B00060_TATARU When I was asking around about the Scions, I heard the most awful rumor!
136 132 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03001_B00070_TATARU General Raubahn is to be executed for crimes against the sultanate!
137 133 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03001_B00080_ALPHINAUD If the Flame General dies, we will lose a staunch ally, and the one man capable of holding the sultana's assassins to account.
138 134 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03001_B00090_ALPHINAUD Lord Haurchefant was wise to counsel restraint, but this business will brook no delay.
139 135 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03001_B00100_ALPHINAUD We cannot permit this execution to take place. We must save Raubahn!

4 0 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03002_000010_MERLWYB Friends. 'Tis good to see you safe and well. I will admit, I had not counted on you seeking─let alone finding─refuge within the Holy See, but full glad was I to learn that you had.
5 1 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03002_000020_ALPHINAUD Thankfully, we had allies there who took us under their wing. And theirs was not the only aid we received, I suspect.
6 2 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03002_000030_ALPHINAUD When we fled Ul'dah, we fully expected to become wanted men, known to all and hounded at every turn. Yet that did not come to pass. On the contrary, 'twould seem the charges against us have not been made public. Might we have you to thank for that, Admiral?
7 3 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03002_000040_MERLWYB Sharp as ever, Master Alphinaud. On Marshal Tarupin's urging, the Elder Seedseer and I demanded that the Syndicate suppress news of the Scions' alleged crimes until such time as irrefutable evidence could be found.
8 4 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03002_000050_MERLWYB Our argument was simple: lacking proof, to accuse the saviors of the realm of so unlikely a crime would have the people up in arms. In their wisdom, the Syndicate agreed, as you yourself have seen.
9 5 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03002_000060_MERLWYB There is something you should know. Some few days prior to the banquet, the Elder Seedseer and I were summoned for a private audience with the sultana.
10 6 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03002_000070_MERLWYB There, she revealed her intent to announce her abdication, that she might pave the way for the establishment of an Ul'dahn republic.
11 7 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03002_000080_ALPHINAUD What? But such an announcement would have plunged the entire nation into chaos!
12 8 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03002_000090_MERLWYB She was well aware of that. 'Twas for fear of what might ensue that she summoned us. Her Grace wanted the Elder Seedseer and I to lend Raubahn a helping hand, you see─to aid him in preserving the peace during the transition.
13 9 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03002_000100_ALPHINAUD So...having somehow caught wind of her plan, Lolorito and Teledji plotted the sultana's assassination in the hope of maintaining the constitutional status quo...?
14 10 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03002_000110_ALPHINAUD But they must have known that her death would sow as much chaos as her abdication─chaos from which Teledji alone might feasibly stand to profit. Surely Lolorito would never knowingly─
15 11 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03002_000120_ALPHINAUD Ah. Could it be...? I dare not hope...
16 12 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03002_000130_EYNZAHRSLAFYRSYN The Ul'dahn authorities have yet to announce the sultana's passing.
17 13 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03002_000140_EYNZAHRSLAFYRSYN To allay any suspicion that may arise from Her Grace's absence, they have issued a statement to the effect that she is presently convalescing from illness.
18 14 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03002_000150_MERLWYB Mayhap they're waiting for a fitting moment to break the news. Or mayhap they know of some other reason to delay.
19 15 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03002_000160_ALPHINAUD Something else has been bothering me, Admiral. I was dismayed to learn that General Raubahn is to be executed─yet upon hearing the news, I could not help but wonder why he had been kept alive for so long.
20 16 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03002_000170_ALPHINAUD Pray mistake not my meaning─I am, of course, overjoyed that our friend still draws breath, and that he might yet be saved. But if his enemies truly wished to eliminate him, they could have done so immediately. I see no reason for this delay.
21 17 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03002_000180_MERLWYB Aye... You've struck upon an important point, Master Alphinaud.
22 18 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03002_000190_MERLWYB Following his capture, Raubahn had been held in the Marasaja Pit within Ul'dah. In recent days, however, he has reportedly been moved to an unknown location.
23 19 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03002_000200_MERLWYB Queerly, 'twas not the Brass Blades who spirited him away, either, but a band of soldiers decked in blue...
24 20 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03002_000210_ALPHINAUD The Crystal Braves.
25 21 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03002_000220_MERLWYB Aye. If I read the winds aright, the arrangement between Lord Lolorito and the Braves has come under strain.
26 22 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03002_000230_MERLWYB At any rate, if we're to rescue Raubahn, we'll have to find him first. And you'll be glad to hear that I have already entrusted the task to those best able to see it done─our friends of Doma.
27 23 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03002_100010_YUGIRI Pray forgive me my lateness.
28 24 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03002_100020_ALPHINAUD Lady Yugiri!
29 25 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03002_100030_YUGIRI Master Alphinaud. I am pleased to see that the light of resolve shines in your eyes once more.
30 26 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03002_100040_ALPHINAUD Ah, yes... How pathetic I must have seemed to you when we last met. I am ashamed to recall it. For a time I was well and truly lost. But with the aid of my comrades, I have since refound my purpose, and I shall take care not to misplace it again.
31 27 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03002_100050_YUGIRI Since your escape from Ul'dah, my fellow shinobi and I have shadowed the Crystal Braves' every step in hopes of learning the Scions' whereabouts.
32 28 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03002_100060_YUGIRI Regrettably, our investigation has yet to yield any useful information. Pray forgive us.
33 29 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03002_100070_ALPHINAUD You need not apologize, my lady─we are grateful for all that you have done on our behalf. Besides, Raubahn is no less a friend, and we cannot well abandon him to his fate.
34 30 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03002_100080_YUGIRI Hozan─the three of us shall attend to the Flame General's rescue. Pray draw away the guards by the entrance. Take Doware and Higiri with you.
35 31 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03002_100090_YUGIRI With me!
36 32 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03002_200010_ILBERD This changes nothing!
37 33 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03002_200020_ALPHINAUD It is over, Ilberd! Lay down your arms and surrender yourself to justice!
38 34 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03002_200030_ILBERD Justice!? Justice for what exactly? 'Twas not I who assassinated the sultana, boy!
39 35 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03002_200040_ALPHINAUD Ere we debate who is responsible for the assassination, I would ask whether an assassination took place at all.
40 36 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03002_200050_ILBERD Clever little shite...
41 37 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03002_200060_ILBERD If you think you fight for justice, <If(PlayerParameter(4))>lass<Else/>lad</If>, you'd best wake up. The truth is, you fight for whoever bloody well tells you to. Can you not see you're being used!? By the Scions, the city-states, even the Crystal Braves. They none of 'em care a whit what you want─only what you can do for them.
42 38 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03002_200070_ILBERD And how do I know this? Because I'm the same─a pawn to be used as my masters see fit. All I ever wanted was to liberate my homeland, and I ate dirt to make it happen. But what have I achieved after all these years in servitude? Nothing! Not a bloody thing.
43 39 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03002_200080_ILBERD If we ourselves are not free─free to think and to act─how are we ever to reclaim our homeland? Know this: there is nothing I would not give to take back Ala Mhigo! NOTHING!
44 40 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03002_200090_ALPHINAUD You'll not get away!
45 41 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03002_200100_YUGIRI No, Master Alphinaud. Now is not the time.
46 42 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03002_300010_RAUBAHN I'm but a cripple and a fool, and still you came for me... I'm in your debt.
47 43 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03002_300020_ALPHINAUD We are all of us fools of fate, General. But even fools have a part to play.
48 44 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03002_Q1_000_1 What will you say to Raubahn?
49 45 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03002_A1_000_1 We stand with you.
50 46 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03002_A1_000_2 On your feet, gladiator. This fight is not over.
51 47 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03002_300030_RAUBAHN Rest assured, I was not planning to die till I'd avenged the sultana... Still, your words are welcome, <If(PlayerParameter(4))>lass<Else/>lad</If>.
52 48 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03002_300040_RAUBAHN Know this, Ilberd... There is nothing I would not give to see you pay for what you've done. My wealth, my arm, my life...nothing.
53 49 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03002_300050_ALPHINAUD General─are you aware that Lord Lolorito has yet to announce the sultana's death to the public?
54 50 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03002_300060_RAUBAHN ...What? No. No, I was not aware of that─nor of anything else outside my cell. 'Tis passing strange, though... I assumed the bastard would make it known at the first opportunity and set about tearing down the sultanate.
55 51 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03002_300070_ALPHINAUD As did we all. And it is indeed strange that he did not─strange or perhaps revealing? Now, I have no conclusive proof, nor do I wish to give you false hope...but I have reason to believe that Her Grace may yet live.
56 52 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03002_300080_RAUBAHN What? But how can that be?
57 53 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03002_300090_YUGIRI Forgive me, friends, but it is not safe here. Let us continue this conversation without.
58 54 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03002_400010_URIANGER My dearest friends! Praise be unto the Twelve for delivering you from the clutches of treachery.
59 55 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03002_400020_PIPPIN Father!
60 56 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03002_400030_RAUBAHN Pipin, my son... And Master Papashan besides...
61 57 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03002_400040_PIPPIN Forgive me, Father... I should have been at Her Grace's side...
62 58 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03002_400050_DEWLALA (-???-)Save your tears. The sultana yet lives.
63 59 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03002_400060_RAUBAHN You...
64 60 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03002_400070_DEWLALA (-???-)It was I who arranged this gathering.
65 61 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03002_400080_DEWLALA And judging by your perplexed expressions, it would seem introductions are in order. I am Dewlala, head of the Order of Nald'thal, and member of the Syndicate.
66 62 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03002_400090_RAUBAHN What you said about the sultana─is it true? Is she alive?
67 63 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03002_400100_DEWLALA Young <If(PlayerParameter(4))>lady<Else/>man</If>─I understand you were with the sultana when she drank from the poisoned goblet and collapsed. Would I be correct in assuming that you did not personally verify Her Grace's vital signs?
68 64 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03002_400110_RAUBAHN Why ask, when 'tis plain you know the answer!
69 65 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03002_400120_DEWLALA Calm yourself, General, and let me finish. The truth is not as you imagine it. You are all victims of a most ingenious ruse─a ruse conceived to eliminate the threat posed by Teledji Adeledji.
70 66 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03002_400130_DEWLALA 'Tis my belief that Teledji plotted the sultana's assassination alone, but that Lolorito caught wind of his plot, and exploited it to his own ends.
71 67 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03002_400140_DEWLALA He sought to manipulate you into eliminating Teledji for him, and you duly obliged. At one fell swoop, he removed his two foremost rivals, all the while remaining above suspicion.
72 68 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03002_400150_RAUBAHN Gods strike me down for a fool... But the sultana─how can it be that she lives?
73 69 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03002_400160_DEWLALA She lives because Lolorito willed it. Her own lady-in-waiting is but one of his many little birds; by her sleight of hand, the poison was switched for a less deadly draft before it could reach her mistress's lips.
74 70 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03002_400170_URIANGER Some manner of sedative, perchance...of a potency sufficient to induce a slumber like unto death.
75 71 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03002_400180_DEWLALA Were I to guess, I would say Her Grace is being held somewhere, dreaming dreams of a brighter Ul'dah, even as we speak.
76 72 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03002_400190_RAUBAHN Oh, Nanamo...
77 73 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03002_400200_RAUBAHN I will never forgive Lolorito for his part in this.
78 74 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03002_400210_DEWLALA Though Lolorito's hands are far from clean, they did pluck Her Grace from the jaws of death. That must count for something.
79 75 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03002_400220_DEWLALA And though one may call the man's methods into question, it cannot be denied that he knows the value of stability─to the very gil, like as not. He craves power, 'tis true, but he has no desire to depose the sultana.
80 76 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03002_400230_DEWLALA I had never taken sides in your feud with the Monetarists, but it was not for want of concern for our nation's welfare. Indeed, 'twas out of the desire to see order restored that I furnished your Far Eastern friends with information, and arranged this gathering.
81 77 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03002_400240_DEWLALA I hope you are ready to work, General, for there is much work to be done. Our first priority must be to bring matters back into balance. Lest you forget Her Grace's words, the true wealth of Ul'dah lies in the health, happiness, and hopes of her people.
82 78 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03002_400250_DEWLALA As for the more worldly kind of wealth, I am content to let Lolorito help himself to whatever Teledji Adeledji left behind.
83 79 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03002_400260_DEWLALA You, meanwhile, must do that which you alone can do: rescue Her Grace and take your place at her side once more. For her sake...and that of our nation.

4 0 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03003_000010_ALPHINAUD Ishgard cannot well endure another assault. Even should her knights succeed in turning back the Horde, the casualties will be catastrophic.
5 1 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03003_000020_TATARU But what other choice do we have? It's not like we can talk it over with them. Dragons and men aren't exactly on speaking terms.
6 2 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03003_000030_ALPHINAUD ...With certain notable exceptions.

9 5 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03003_000060_ALPHINAUD Then there remains a sliver of hope. If we can persuade Iceheart to act as our intermediary, we may yet be able to convince Nidhogg to abandon his bloody course.

12 8 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03003_000090_ESTINIEN Even with your intermediary, Nidhogg's bloodrage may render him deaf to reason. However, the mere attempt may afford our forces precious time to prepare.
13 9 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03003_000100_ESTINIEN Of course...you might also consider a more direct approach to ending this conflict. With the power of the Eye at my disposal, and the vaunted strength of the Warrior of Light, we could conceivably slay the beast outright...
14 10 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03003_000110_ALPHINAUD If we are to risk a face-to-face meeting with the dread wyrm, I for one would feel safer in the company of the Azure Dragoon. However, I should only turn to your lance if my words failed to find their mark. Is that clear?
15 11 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03003_000120_ESTINIEN Perfectly. I shall assume that Iceheart enjoys similar diplomatic protection until instructed otherwise.
16 12 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03003_000130_ESTINIEN A word of advice: think carefully before divulging the particulars of this plan to Ser Aymeric. 'Twould not do to have the lord commander accused of consorting with heretics.

19 15 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03003_100010_AYMERIC I want the defenses of the outer ward rechecked. See to it that the ballistas are in good repair and supplied with enough ammunition for a prolonged siege.

22 18 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03003_100040_ALPHINAUD Pray forgive us for interrupting you in the midst of your preparations, Ser Aymeric, but our suit concerns the impending assault. To speak plain, we believe there is a chance the invasion might be halted before it even begins.
23 19 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03003_100050_ALPHINAUD I can divulge little more at this time, but I must nevertheless request that you advise the Holy See to refrain from launching any preemptive sorties whilst we seek to put our plans in motion.
24 20 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03003_100060_AYMERIC I will gladly lend my support to any endeavor that could spare the blood of my countrymen─but I would know more of the cause you would have me champion. Will you not share aught of this mysterious undertaking?
25 21 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03003_100070_ESTINIEN Know that I have offered my lance to aid in this endeavor. I cannot claim that its success is assured, but our actions should serve to delay Nidhogg's advance at the very least.
26 22 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03003_100080_ESTINIEN Which is more than can be said for the ill-conceived counterattack advocated by the See's more vocal crusaders. They offer glorious death, but little hope of victory.
27 23 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03003_100090_AYMERIC Aye...their proposal does not inspire confidence. Our resources should rightly be spent shoring up the city's defenses.
28 24 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03003_100100_AYMERIC Hmmm. The Azure Dragoon and the Warrior of Light, sallying forth together to face the dread wyrm, Nidhogg...
29 25 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03003_100110_AYMERIC I must admit, the mere thought of it does much to dispel my misgivings. Go, then─carry out your plan. I shall do what I can for you within the Holy See.

33 29 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03003_200040_THORDAN Let them come─in their hundreds and their thousands. With the divine blade in our hands, we shall rend their flesh and drown the heretics in their masters' blood. Even Nidhogg and his foul brood shall be powerless to resist us.
34 30 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03003_200050_THORDAN And when we have rid the world of their pestilence, we shall turn our attention to our Ascian allies─see that they are suitably rewarded for their invaluable assistance.
35 31 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03003_200060_ZEPHIRIN If I may, Your Eminence. The Paragons wield powers strange and unknowable. Can we be certain that they will not see through our deception?
36 32 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03003_200070_THORDAN We can be certain of naught save the righteousness of our cause. If you would be a true leader of men, you must possess conviction as well as caution.
37 33 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03003_200080_THORDAN We seek to excise the root of an evil that has blighted us for a thousand years. The risk is worth the reward.
38 34 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03003_200090_ZEPHIRIN And what of Estinien and this Warrior of Light? They have plans of their own...

45 41 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03003_A1_000_1 We wish to stop Nidhogg's attack on Ishgard.
46 42 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03003_A1_000_2 We wished to speak with you.
47 43 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03003_A1_000_3 It's a long story...
48 44 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03003_300040_ICEHEART (-Iceheart-)So, you seek to stem the Dravanian tide with talk? A romantic notion.
49 45 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03003_300050_ICEHEART (-Iceheart-)If you but knew the truth─the spark which lit the flames of this animosity─you would understand the futility of your quest.
50 46 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03003_300060_ICEHEART (-Iceheart-)Shall I relate it to you? The sordid history my gift has shown me? That which the Holy See has taken such pains to suppress?
51 47 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03003_400010_ICEHEART (-Iceheart-)'Twas more than a millennium past when an Elezen tribe first sought to claim the lands of Coerthas as its home.
52 48 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03003_400020_ICEHEART (-Iceheart-)Unfortunately for them, Coerthas was already home to dragonkind, and they were not inclined to make way for the invaders. Thus did a bloody war begin─a war which might well have rumbled on until one or the other side was exterminated, had it not been for the resolve of a single woman. That woman's name was “Shiva.”
53 49 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03003_400030_ICEHEART (-Iceheart-)While those around her fought and died, she attempted to parley with the dragons, and in so doing discovered them to be possessed of profound intelligence and reason. The great wyrm Hraesvelgr in particular so enchanted Shiva that she found herself growing to love the creature, whom her people considered a monster.
54 50 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03003_400040_ICEHEART (-Iceheart-)In the eyes of a near-immortal dragon, however, the fleeting life of an Elezen is as that of a freshly cut rose─scarce has the flower bloomed before it begins to fade and wither.
55 51 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03003_400050_ICEHEART (-Iceheart-)Such melancholy musings plagued Hraesvelgr, who had found in Shiva an unexpected and beloved soulmate. He knew that all too soon, death would snatch her away from him.
56 52 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03003_400060_ICEHEART (-Iceheart-)Unable to bear the thought of their separation, the maid bid the wyrm consume her, that their spirits might be entwined for eternity.
57 53 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03003_400070_ICEHEART (-Iceheart-)...Though loath to perform the deed, Hraesvelgr ultimately gave in to her plea, and soon thereafter, the tale of their ill-fated love spread throughout the two warring factions. No more could they raise blade or claw against one another, knowing that the souls of their kin were so inextricably bound.
58 54 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03003_400080_ICEHEART (-Iceheart-)In the days that followed, man and dragon learned to live in harmony, and together built a nation unlike any the world had ever known. For two hundred years did this blissful age of peace continue, as it would to this day, had vilest envy not stirred in the hearts of the Elezen.
59 55 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03003_400090_ICEHEART (-Iceheart-)It is said that wyrms owe their longevity to the boundless reserves of vitality found within their eyes─and 'twas in this belief that a traitorous band of knights deceived their allies of some two centuries, and took by force that which they coveted...
60 56 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03003_500010_ICEHEART (-Iceheart-)Nidhogg─he who now stands poised to unleash his wyrmlings upon Ishgard─was the great dragon who lost an eye to Elezen treachery.
61 57 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03003_500020_ICEHEART (-Iceheart-)And until he prises it from the hands of the traitors' progeny, no amount of conciliatory words will stay his fury.
62 58 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03003_500030_ESTINIEN You are wrong, Lady Iceheart.
63 59 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03003_500040_ESTINIEN Lest you misunderstand, I do not doubt your vision of the past─'tis true that Nidhogg greatly desired to reclaim the Eye.
64 60 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03003_500050_ESTINIEN Indeed, it was for that very reason that I kept it with me as I roamed the land, attempting to draw him away from the city.
65 61 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03003_500060_ALPHINAUD Good gods...
66 62 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03003_500070_ESTINIEN Until recently, Nidhogg seemed unable to resist its allure, and pursued me relentlessly. Needless to say, that is no longer the case. Now, it would seem he has fixed his attention on Ishgard itself, though he knows full well the Eye does not reside there.
67 63 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03003_500080_ICEHEART (-Iceheart-)You believe he targets the capital for another reason...?
68 64 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03003_500090_ESTINIEN I believe reason has all but left him. Through the Eye, I feel much of what Nidhogg feels, and the dragon's thirst for vengeance will not be quenched by aught less than a sea of blood.
69 65 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03003_500100_ALPHINAUD If Nidhogg is indeed lost to reason, might we not seek an audience with Hraesvelgr instead?
70 66 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03003_500110_ALPHINAUD He has thus far shown no inclination to aid in the invasion of Ishgard, and may yet welcome our efforts to broker a peace.
71 67 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03003_500120_ICEHEART (-Iceheart-)You <Emphasis>still</Emphasis> believe that a peaceable solution can be found? Very well. I will take you to him.
72 68 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03003_500130_ICEHEART (-Iceheart-)Our road will lead us to Dravania, the homeland of dragonkind. There we shall ascend unto the clouds, where Hraesvelgr resides...
73 69 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03003_600010_ALPHINAUD Is aught amiss, my friend?
74 70 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03003_600020_ALPHINAUD I sense the many battles are beginning to take their toll. Rest awhile. And should you lose sight of us─Dravania lies beyond the mountains to the west.

89 85 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03003_800100_VIDOFNIR My sire's will forbiddeth me from inviting discord to our home... 'Tis for this reason, and no other, that thou still drawest breath, knight.
90 86 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03003_800110_ICEHEART Vidofnir, please─we must be allowed to convey our intentions to Hraesvelgr in person, with words of our own choosing.

106 102 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03003_810080_ICEHEART Hear me, Lord Ravana! My companion and I did not come to contest your children's territory.
107 103 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03003_810090_ICEHEART We wished only to learn the reason you wage war against the dragons.
108 104 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03003_810100_RAVANA Thou wouldst flirt with death merely to satisfy thy curiosity? Wherefore should the glorious conquests of the Gnath concern thee so, Elezen?

110 106 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03003_810120_ICEHEART We crave no alliance, Lord Ravana─only peace. We would bring an end to our war with the dragons. Yet so long as they remain embroiled in this conflict with your children, our goal shall remain out of reach.
111 107 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03003_810130_ICEHEART Never before have the Gnath risen up in such numbers, and never yet with you at their head. Why do you lead them to war?
112 108 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03003_810140_RAVANA Thy question hath no meaning. To live is but to fight.

114 110 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03003_810160_RAVANA The Gnath would see the Dravanians slain, and their territory secured─and by such fervent prayers am I now given form and purpose.

118 114 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03003_810200_RAVANA Very well. I, Ravana, fourfold master of the blade, do accept thy challenge!
119 115 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03003_810210_RAVANA But should <Emphasis>I</Emphasis> emerge the victor, I would have thee swear to serve in mine army till thy last breath is spent! Do you accept!?

125 121 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03003_810270_RAVANA Be thou god or maid, thou art nothing to me! ...And what of thee, mortal? Art thou warrior or craven?
126 122 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03003_810280_RAVANA A warrior, then! Good! Mayhap thou wilt provide more sport than thy feeble companion!
127 123 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03003_820010_RAVANA Thus doth the sacred rite of combat proclaim the victor... I lay my blades at thy feet, child of man...
128 124 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03003_820020_ICEHEART You do not disappoint, Warrior of Light. Would that I had your skill in battle. ...I do begin to see why so many place their faith in you.
129 125 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03003_820030_ICEHEART For all his savagery, I do not think Ravana one to break his word. Provided the dragons do not trespass upon Gnath lands, they should have little to fear of the primal's biting blades. We have done well, have we not?

142 138 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03003_A00070_ICEHEART But speak it I must! I have summoned Shiva's soul from the beyond, and offered myself as her vessel! She has made her heart known to me!

146 142 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03003_A00110_HRAESVELGR Gullible fool... The Light but illuminated the past for thee, it did not grant thee omniscience.
147 143 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03003_A00120_HRAESVELGR The spirit thou hast summoned belongeth not to Shiva─'tis but a shade conjured by thine own fancy.
148 144 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03003_A00130_HRAESVELGR In an age long past, mine own kin were guilty of like folly. Beguiled by the dark ones' lies, they attempted to resurrect a king amongst wyrms─yet the divinity they called forth merely borrowed the semblance of my fallen brood-brother.
149 145 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03003_A00140_HRAESVELGR Such gods are not summoned, but created. Phantoms spun from the threads of misplaced faith.

151 147 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03003_A00160_HRAESVELGR ...Was but thy dream of Shiva. Thy soul hath been corrupted by a deity of thine own making, child.
152 148 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03003_A00170_ALPHINAUD Be that as it may, Lord Hraesvelgr, Ysayle's desire to heal the rift between man and dragon is real, and it has borne us this far.

157 153 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03003_B00020_HRAESVELGR Two centuries of harmony were to follow, during which time the Elezen learned much about us, not least that the eyes of a great wyrm are the wellspring of his strength.
158 154 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03003_B00030_HRAESVELGR 'Twas out of the selfish desire to possess this strength that King Thordan then conspired to undo all that our peoples had achieved together.
159 155 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03003_B00040_HRAESVELGR With the aid of his leal knights, that most noble of Elezen lured my brood-sister Ratatoskr into an ambush, and took from her that which he craved.
160 156 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03003_B00050_HRAESVELGR Fain would I strike the image from my mind, yet still the scene doth linger─of my brood-sister's tattered corpse, defiled by her Elezen allies. They had torn out her eyes, and feasted upon them in the manner of wild beasts.
161 157 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03003_B00060_HRAESVELGR Yet that was not all, for from their bloody banquet, the fiends had gained strength beyond that of mortal men... Even now, I labor to comprehend the enormity of their betrayal.
162 158 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03003_B00070_HRAESVELGR Nidhogg was the first to learn of the atrocity, and he took to the skies, hungry for vengeance.
163 159 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03003_B00080_HRAESVELGR But though he slew Thordan and some few of his knights, their fellow butchers knew only too well where to aim their spears, and with now-practiced savagery, they set about my brood-brother, sending him flailing from the field...
164 160 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03003_B00090_HRAESVELGR Such is the truth the Holy See would keep hidden. Such was the beginning of the Dragonsong War.

166 162 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03003_C00010_ESTINIEN Your tale bears scant resemblance to the one I was taught. How convenient that it should absolve your kind of all responsibility. But tell me, dragon: why should I believe your version of events?
167 163 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03003_C00020_HRAESVELGR What thou choosest to believe is immaterial. The betrayal that yet haunts mine every waking moment is no less than the truth to my kind.
168 164 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03003_C00030_HRAESVELGR And Nidhogg meaneth for Thordan's people to suffer for this sin till the end of days.
169 165 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03003_C00040_HRAESVELGR That which thou imaginest a war of extinction is but a punishment─a siege of the spirit. Hast thou not seen those who tire of the torment? Those who abandon their own and side with dragonkind?
170 166 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03003_C00050_ALPHINAUD Ishgard's so-called heretics...
171 167 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03003_C00060_HRAESVELGR Know that all the traitors' progeny bear a trace of Ratatoskr's essence. But a single sip of our blood is enough to awaken it...
172 168 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03003_C00070_ICEHEART Then...the seed lies within us...?
173 169 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03003_C00080_HRAESVELGR 'Tis for this reason that those who abandon their loyalties are rewarded with a drink. And thus are they transformed, to join the ranks of Nidhogg's ever-growing army as newborn dragons. One by one, through death or defection, my brood-brother shall account for all of the betrayers' children...
174 170 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03003_C00090_ALPHINAUD Ye gods... I have borne witness to such a transformation! Looked on as a heretic assumed the shape of a dragon... I imagined it some manner of Dravanian enchantment!
175 171 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03003_C00100_ALPHINAUD But if any Ishgardian, regardless of allegiance, has such potential within them... Twelve forgive us. To think of all the dragons we've slain...!
176 172 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03003_C00110_HRAESVELGR There will always be some, of course, who choose to fight until the bitter end─like thee, dragoon...
177 173 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03003_C00120_HRAESVELGR But struggle as thou might, thy youthful vigor will be spent ere thou reachest two score and ten. And Nidhogg shall remain to torment thine offspring.
178 174 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03003_C00130_ESTINIEN Oft have I wondered why Nidhogg did not simply raze Ishgard to the ground.
179 175 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03003_C00140_ESTINIEN Now I have my answer. He has no intention of winning the Dragonsong War, for it is no war at all, but vengeance─an eternal requiem sung for his murdered sister.
180 176 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03003_C00150_HRAESVELGR Thou hast the right of it, dragonslayer. Comprehendest thou now the futility of thy quest?
181 177 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03003_C00160_ICEHEART I have not come this far only to admit defeat. We can still return the Eye to Nidhogg, and beg forgiveness for our ancestors' crimes. Mayhap our words will sway him!
182 178 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03003_C00170_HRAESVELGR Stubborn child... Thou thinkest in mortal terms. Our perception of time is too broad for thee to grasp.
183 179 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03003_C00180_HRAESVELGR 'Tis a simple matter for thee to offer thine apologies─thou didst not perpetrate the crime. Despite thy visions, the deeds of history seem distant to thee.
184 180 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03003_C00190_HRAESVELGR For a wyrm such as Nidhogg, however, that history is yet part of his present, as fresh as the blood that did gush from Ratatoskr's wounds. How could he not be driven mad?
185 181 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03003_C00200_HRAESVELGR 'Tis only by the calming embrace of Shiva's soul that mine own fury hath not consumed me.
186 182 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03003_C00210_HRAESVELGR But let us speak no more of what is done. My faith in your kind is spent, and I would be alone.

189 185 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03003_D00030_ESTINIEN Nidhogg's lair─the Aery─is said to lie in that direction. And the Eye tells me he is near...
190 186 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03003_D00040_ICEHEART You cannot still mean to slay him!?
191 187 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03003_D00050_ESTINIEN You cannot still mean to stop me. I have been true to my word, and aided you in this fool's errand with Hraesvelgr.
192 188 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03003_D00060_ESTINIEN But your efforts at parley have come to naught, Lady Iceheart. I would see Ishgard saved, and for that, Nidhogg must die.
193 189 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03003_D00070_ICEHEART With the tale of our ancestors' vile betrayal yet ringing in your ears, you speak of continuing this war?
194 190 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03003_D00080_ESTINIEN Nay, lady, I would but pierce its vengeful heart. When Nidhogg dies, this war shall die with him.
195 191 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03003_D00090_ALPHINAUD A moment, Estinien. You yourself spoke of the great wyrm's strength─that you believed him powerful enough to raze your city to the ground. How then are we few to challenge him?
196 192 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03003_D00100_ALPHINAUD Even behind the stout walls of Ishgard─with an army of knights manning the defenses─our victory would be hard-won. Yet you propose to contend with the beast in his own lair?
197 193 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03003_D00110_ESTINIEN In close combat, this will afford us an advantage. And if the tales are true, the Warrior of Light has bested many an invincible foe.
198 194 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03003_D00120_ESTINIEN In close combat, this will afford us an advantage. And with two Azure Dragoons working in unison, who can say what might be possible?
199 195 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03003_D00130_ESTINIEN But such speculation is meaningless if we cannot even find the wyrm. Our first task must be to seek out Nidhogg's lair.
200 196 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03003_D00140_ALPHINAUD The story of this nation grows bloodier by the moment. Must death always be answered with more of the same?
201 197 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03003_D00150_ESTINIEN Such is the way of things, I fear. I shall consider it a miracle if mine armor is not stained crimson ere this conflict is ended.
202 198 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03003_D00160_ICEHEART That I should be blinded by my own lies... Everything I believed... Everything I thought I was... Gone... All gone...
203 199 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03003_D00170_ESTINIEN Leave her. Your words will not reach her now. And we have not the time to wait for her to gather up the pieces of her shattered faith.

205 201 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03003_E00020_ESTINIEN Aye... That would be the Aery. I feel Nidhogg's presence through the Eye─his caustic hatred gnawing at my soul.

222 218 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03003_F00140_CID You, meanwhile, should concentrate on providing Raubahn and the sultana whatever help they need!
223 219 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03003_G00010_RAUBAHN Thank you for coming.
224 220 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03003_G00020_ALPHINAUD No thanks are necessary, General. I trust your recuperation continues apace?
225 221 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03003_G00030_RAUBAHN I cannot complain. Thanks to Higiri and her ministrations, I've regained much of the strength I lost during my imprisonment.
226 222 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03003_G00040_ALPHINAUD I gather you have made progress in the search for Her Grace.
227 223 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03003_G00050_RAUBAHN Aye, some good fortune at last. A few days past, Dewlala informed us that a sizable shipment of alchemical supplies had been delivered to the palace.
228 224 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03003_G00060_PIPPIN With Papashan's assistance, I set out to ascertain the source and nature of the shipment. My inquiries led me to Frondale's Phrontistery.
229 225 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03003_G00070_PIPPIN There I learned that an order had been placed for a curious substance designed to sustain patients trapped in deathlike slumber─an invention of the former head alchemist, apparently.
230 226 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03003_G00080_ALPHINAUD A deathlike slumber...? This cannot be a coincidence!
231 227 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03003_G00090_RAUBAHN It lends some weight to Dewlala's claims, aye. Her Grace is likely somewhere within the palace─abed but alive.
232 228 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03003_G00100_YUGIRI Before making any attempt to extricate the sultana, however, it seemed prudent to learn what manner of substance was used to induce her torpor. To that end, I made inquiries as to the whereabouts of the one most like to have administered it─the lady-in-waiting, Meriel.
233 229 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03003_G00110_YUGIRI We sent for you as soon as we learned of her location. All that remains is to apprehend the woman.
234 230 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03003_G00120_RAUBAHN We shall find our cat's-paw in the Silver Bazaar.
235 231 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03003_G00130_RAUBAHN But we must tread carefully. The market is not the bustling place it once was, and someone is sure to mark our coming. Should they inform the Monetarists, we'll have a fight on our hands.
236 232 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03003_G00140_RAUBAHN We must be prepared for the worst─and being short an arm, I thought it wise to take another in its stead. What say you, Warrior of Light? Will you lend me yours?
237 233 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03003_G00150_RAUBAHN Then I pity the bastard that stands in our way. Come, my friends! For Nanamo...and for Ul'dah!
238 234 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03003_H00010_ALPHINAUD You are Meriel, the sultana's former lady-in-waiting?
239 235 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03003_H00020_LADYINWAITING2 I know no one of that name! Pray excuse me...
240 236 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03003_H00030_LADYINWAITING2 General Aldynn!?
241 237 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03003_H00040_RAUBAHN We will have the truth from you, girl...
242 238 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03003_H00050_LOLORITO Mayhap 'twould be better coming from me.
243 239 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03003_H00060_RAUBAHN Lolorito... You'd best talk fast.
244 240 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03003_H00070_LOLORITO As you know, Teledji Adeledji's Carteneau Reclamation Bill was no more than a facade─a means to get his grubby little hands on that Allagan monstrosity, Omega.
245 241 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03003_H00080_LOLORITO When he learned of Nanamo's intention to abdicate, however, he was forced to amend his plans. Suddenly, assassination seemed the most promising way to further his ambitions.
246 242 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03003_H00090_LOLORITO I am told Teledji had discovered a maid in whose veins ran the blood of House Thorne─a new, more pliable puppet to sit the throne. 'Twould have caused an uproar, of course, but few could have contested her claim.
247 243 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03003_H00100_LOLORITO 'Twas plain that Teledji's wild machinations had outgrown our ability to control them. So I decided to usurp his scheme, and left the fool to seal his own demise.
248 244 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03003_H00110_RAUBAHN And what of Nanamo?
249 245 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03003_H00120_LOLORITO Oh, I have no desire to harm Her Grace─'twould profit me little to destabilize our government. Thus did I employ young Meriel here to administer a potent sleeping potion in place of a poison.
250 246 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03003_H00130_LOLORITO You should know, General, that your dear friend Ilberd was fully aware of my plan.
251 247 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03003_H00140_LOLORITO I had him lie about the assassination as a means to prime your rage against Teledji. We weren't entirely sure how you would react, but things went rather better than expected.
252 248 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03003_H00150_RAUBAHN You conniving little worm... You had your claws in the Crystal Braves before their first recruit had sworn to serve!
253 249 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03003_H00160_LOLORITO But of course. When a new game begins, 'tis only prudent to have a piece on the board. Ilberd was mine.
254 250 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03003_H00170_LOLORITO Truth be told, a significant proportion of the Braves' initial endowment was also mine. With such large sums moving about, 'twas a rather trifling matter to disguise my own contribution.
255 251 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03003_H00180_LOLORITO Ah, Ilberd... I secured his services with a promise to support his cause once my authority had been solidified. I swear, the man thinks of naught but prising Ala Mhigo from the grasp of the Empire.
256 252 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03003_H00190_LOLORITO Unlike you, General, the poor fellow seems quite unable to forsake the land of his forefathers. Mayhap that's why he called you a traitor to your people and a disgrace to your homeland...amongst other things. What was it he always compared you to? Oh, yes! “An overgrown lapdog, begging for scraps at the sultana's table!” Oh, how we laughed...
257 253 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03003_H00200_LOLORITO Alas, Ilberd's entertaining little outbursts eventually gave way to wearisome tirades, and the zealous brute became rather unruly. I had no wish to see you executed, you understand, but he would not take no for an answer. Rest assured, his employment with me has long since ended.
258 254 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03003_H00210_LOLORITO ...Which brings us neatly to the present. What say you, General? Both you and the sultana are alive; we have one corpse and one fugitive; and preparations have been made to restore your good name. Shall we cry quits and start again with a blank ledger? Hm?
259 255 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03003_H00220_RAUBAHN The hells we will! Do you honestly expect me to forgive and forget? After all you've done!? You're guilty of high treason!
260 256 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03003_H00230_DEWLALA Stay your blade, Master Aldynn! You yourself are not innocent! Or have you forgotten your <Emphasis>own</Emphasis> crime in executing Teledji Adeledji without trial!?
261 257 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03003_H00240_DEWLALA Though you acted out of loyalty to the sultana, such deeds are in violation of both the word and spirit of the law!
262 258 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03003_H00250_DEWLALA ...If you would, Lord Lolorito?
263 259 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03003_H00260_LOLORITO This potion will wake the sultana from her slumber. Consider it a gesture of conciliation.
264 260 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03003_H00270_LOLORITO You will find Her Grace resting comfortably within her private chambers. Should you doubt my word, I shall willingly accompany you to the palace as your hostage.
265 261 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03003_H00280_RAUBAHN I like not your motives, Lolorito...but you saved the sultana's life, and for that you have my gratitude.
266 262 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03003_H00290_DEWLALA Raubahn Aldynn, you are hereby reinstated as general of the Immortal Flames! The citizens of Ul'dah shall once more be united under Nanamo Ul Namo, and together we shall usher in a new age of prosperity!
267 263 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03003_I00010_NANAMO Ugh...
268 264 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03003_I00020_NANAMO I was having the longest dream...
269 265 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03003_I00030_RAUBAHN 'Tis time to wake up, Your Grace. Another day begins in Thanalan, and the sun blazes bright upon the sands.
270 266 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03003_J00010_RAUBAHN Her Grace is awoken. The palace physician assures me she is none the worse for her slumber.
271 267 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03003_J00020_RAUBAHN I believe Her Grace will soon resume her plans to place the government of Ul'dah into the hands of its citizens.
272 268 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03003_J00030_RAUBAHN Whatever path she chooses to take, I shall walk it with her. And we shall tread slowly, lest the nation be unsettled in our wake.
273 269 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03003_J00040_LOLORITO Her Grace's compassion is a shining beacon to us all...but what our city truly thrives upon is competition.
274 270 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03003_J00050_LOLORITO 'Tis in the struggle against our rivals that opportunities are seized and fortunes made. And with the Empire on the offensive once more, now would hardly seem the time to turn our system of government upon its head.
275 271 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03003_J00060_ALPHINAUD Are you privy to new intelligence, my lord?
276 272 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03003_J00070_LOLORITO I would hardly call it new. Remind me: what was the name of that enormous imperial warship which met its end in Mor Dhona? Wait, I have it! The <Emphasis>Agrius</Emphasis>. Yes, well, 'twould appear that the Garleans have been hard at work on another such vessel.
277 273 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03003_J00080_PIPPIN How close are they to completing this ship!? Is it operational!?
278 274 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03003_J00090_LOLORITO Its maiden flight was a success, I hear. I should imagine Emperor Varis is eager to see how it performs in battle.
279 275 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03003_J00100_LOLORITO <If(PlayerParameter(4))>My lords and ladies<Else/>My lords...and lady</If>, I move that it is time to repair the damage caused by Teledji Adeledji, and prepare our great nation to repel the Empire once more.
280 276 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03003_K00010_ALPHINAUD 'Tis well that the sultana has awoken. The Syndicate yet needs to put its house in order, but 'twould seem the worst of the confusion has passed.
281 277 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03003_K00020_ALPHINAUD Ul'dah has taken control of its future...and I must do the same.
282 278 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03003_K00030_ALPHINAUD I have decided to disband the Crystal Braves.
283 279 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03003_K00040_ALPHINAUD Among the recruits, there were those who supported our order's goals and convictions with all sincerity. 'Tis my hope that these loyal men and women will choose to remain our allies in the battles to come.
284 280 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03003_K00050_ALPHINAUD As for those who sided with the traitor, Ilberd, they shall be hunted down and held to account for their crimes. It is my earnest hope that they will surrender themselves peaceably when the time comes...though I think it unlikely.
285 281 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03003_K00060_ALPHINAUD Ah, my all-conquering Crystal Braves... The model army meant to pave the way for a single, unified Grand Company of Eorzea. That so high an ideal should be brought so low...
286 282 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03003_K00070_ALPHINAUD I need not tell you how deeply the betrayal stung me. Yet I see now that it was mine own naivety and pride which allowed the Braves to fall prey to corruption.
287 283 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03003_K00080_ALPHINAUD As ever, it is to your own shining example that I turn for inspiration. Like you, I mean to stand firm in the face of hardship, and give mine all for the cause.
288 284 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03003_K00090_ALPHINAUD Let us resume the search for our missing comrades, that we might come together to shine the light of dawn across the realm once more.
289 285 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03003_K00100_ALPHINAUD The role of Crystal Brave commander suited me ill, and I shall play it no longer. Henceforth, I shall be no more or less than Alphinaud, proud member of the Scions.
290 286 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03003_L00010_ESTINIEN All stands ready, Lord Commander.
291 287 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03003_L00020_AYMERIC Ah, the moment has come, then?
292 288 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03003_L00030_ALPHINAUD Pray excuse my lateness. I paid a brief visit to the workshop to inquire about the manacutters. The engineers assure me that they are ready.
293 289 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03003_L00040_ESTINIEN The Aery is now but a short flight away. Yet what a long and winding path we took to reach this point.
294 290 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03003_L00050_ESTINIEN Were it not for Master Alphinaud's proposal, we never would have attempted to parley with the dragons.
295 291 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03003_L00060_ESTINIEN Though our negotiations yielded little, our expedition with Lady Iceheart taught us much.
296 292 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03003_L00070_AYMERIC You took an unimaginable risk... I could scarce believe the tale Estinien told.
297 293 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03003_L00080_ESTINIEN Aye, 'tis true that many of our countrymen would sooner die than join hands with the heretics' mistress, but 'twas through that most unlikely of alliances that we came to speak with Hraesvelgr.
298 294 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03003_L00090_ALPHINAUD A conversation that went rather poorly, as I recall.
299 295 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03003_L00100_ESTINIEN In this instance, the journey was more important than the destination. Had we not slain Nidhogg's consort, Tioman, and put the great wyrm on his guard, the Dravanians would have arrived at Ishgard's walls long ago.
300 296 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03003_L00110_AYMERIC Aye, that they would. Full grateful am I for every hour of respite your actions have afforded us. Thanks to you, our defenses are much improved. 'Tis but a pity they won't be enough.
301 297 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03003_L00120_ALPHINAUD Thus you believe an assault upon the Aery represents the city's best chance of survival. Is that not so, Estinien?
302 298 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03003_L00130_ESTINIEN I am under no illusions. Nidhogg's might is legendary. But with his eye in my possession, I can stifle his strength at the source.
303 299 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03003_L00140_ESTINIEN Victory will be hard-won, even so, and I shall be glad indeed to have the Warrior of Light at my side.
304 300 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03003_L00150_AYMERIC You shall have my blade as well. There are more of these “manacutters” to be had, yes?
305 301 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03003_L00160_LUCIA (-Lucia-)Lord Commander, no!
306 302 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03003_L00170_AYMERIC How can I, a proud knight of Ishgard, stand by and do naught while an outsider risks life and limb for our homeland? I swore an oath to protect this city!
307 303 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03003_L00180_ESTINIEN Pray leave the slaying of dragons to dragoons, ser knight. Your duty to command the city's defense is no less vital.
308 304 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03003_L00190_ESTINIEN Should we fail, and Nidhogg slip through our grasp, who, then, will hold the walls against him? Will you leave Ishgard in the hands of the Holy See's zealots?
309 305 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03003_L00200_AYMERIC There are others─
310 306 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03003_L00210_ESTINIEN Who but you has the authority and the standing to orchestrate a citywide defense? I do not, and neither does the Warrior of Light. That is why it is our place to fight, and yours to remain here, Lord Commander.
311 307 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03003_L00220_ESTINIEN What, you too, Master Alphinaud? By the Fury... You have shown some promise, but this adversary is far beyond your skills.
312 308 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03003_L00230_ALPHINAUD Your candor is appreciated, ser dragoon. I shall remain, then, and cheer you from afar.
313 309 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03003_L00240_ESTINIEN Well, my friend, 'twould seem I have discouraged the last of the volunteers, and claimed the task as ours alone. But if any alive can best this wyrm, 'tis surely we two!
314 310 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03003_M00010_ESTINIEN We're through!
315 311 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03003_M00020_ESTINIEN So, this is the Aery! Where are you Nidhogg!? You have guests!
316 312 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03003_M00030_ESTINIEN There!
317 313 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03003_M00040_ESTINIEN Greetings, Lord of Dravania! I believe we have something that belongs to you!
318 314 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03003_M00050_NIDHOGG Wicked mortals! I shall melt your flesh, and turn your bones to ash!
319 315 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03003_N00010_NIDHOGG Thou wouldst use mine own eye against me!? Time hath done naught to dilute thy kind's depravity!
320 316 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03003_N00020_NIDHOGG I have not forgotten thee, dragoon! Mine essence claimed thee once...and shall do so again!
321 317 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03003_N00030_ESTINIEN No, wyrm! This ends here!
322 318 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03003_N00040_ESTINIEN You gifted my people a thousand years of suffering. Now I gift you an eternity in darkness!
323 319 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03003_O00010_SYLVETREL They are ours, Lord Haldrath... The eyes of Nidhogg!
324 320 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03003_O00020_HALDRATH Aye... The wyrm lies broken and my father is avenged. With the wellspring of his vitality thus denied him, Nidhogg shall not linger long in this world.
325 321 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03003_O00030_HALDRATH But behold the terrible price we have paid. My sire is dead; so many brother knights slain.
326 322 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03003_O00040_HALDRATH We traded our honor for the strength which now courses in our veins. And still we are forced to make such sacrifice.
327 323 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03003_O00050_SYLVETREL But not in vain, my lord. Hraesvelgr is the only great wyrm left in Dravania, and he dares not leave his lair.
328 324 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03003_O00060_SYLVETREL With Nidhogg's eyes in your possession, who now can challenge the might of Ishgard? Ascend the throne, and take your rightful place as the ruler of our people!
329 325 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03003_O00070_HALDRATH Nay, my friend, I must forsake the mantle of king. Though Nidhogg be defeated, his wyrmling horde yet darkens the skies with wings beyond counting.
330 326 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03003_O00080_HALDRATH As one who partook of Ratatoskr's strength, it shall be my penance to bear a knight's arms until death grants me leave to retire. When that day comes, no prince shall perish, but a hells-bound hunter of dragons...
331 327 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03003_O00090_SYLVETREL But Lord Haldrath! What then shall become of the royal line!?
332 328 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03003_O00100_FLAVIEN Think of your people, my lord! Without a king, who will the common man turn to in his hour of need? How will he find his way without your benevolent hand to guide him?
333 329 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03003_O00110_HALDRATH I thank you, Ser Flavien and Ser Sylvetrel─for dispelling my remaining doubts. With men of such wisdom and compassion in service to the realm, 'tis plain that Ishgard has no need of a king.
334 330 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03003_O00120_HALDRATH But if you must bow to the demands of tradition, you need look no further than yourselves for one worthy to wear the crown.
335 331 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03003_O00130_HALDRATH Fare thee well, my brother knights...my loyal friends. On these shoulders shall I bear the weight of my father's sins; with this lance shall I repay the debt accrued through our misdeeds.
336 332 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03003_O00140_SYLVETREL What cruel jest has fate played upon us...? Have we seized this desperate victory only to lose a king?
337 333 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03003_O00150_FLAVIEN We can but act as our lord has bid. We few who remain must divide between us the rulership of Ishgard and her people.
338 334 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03003_O00160_BRAWNYKNIGHT Not I. My oath was to Lord Haldrath, and he alone. If he is not to be king, then I would hang up my shield, as well.
339 335 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03003_O00170_SYLVETREL Will you abandon us, too, ser?
340 336 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03003_O00180_BRAWNYKNIGHT I would wash my hands of blood and betrayal and take up an honest trade. Mayhap I shall serve ale instead of sharpened steel...
341 337 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03003_O00190_FLAVIEN We four, then...
342 338 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03003_O00200_SYLVETREL Fortemps, Haillenarte, Durendaire, and Dzemael...
343 339 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03003_O00210_SYLVETREL But four houses to rule all of Ishgard...
344 340 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03003_O00220_FLAVIEN ...And what of the throne?
345 341 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03003_O00230_SYLVETREL We keep it empty. Until the day a king rises once more, we must assume the role of stewards.
346 342 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03003_O00240_SYLVETREL We shall shape our nation anew with a history of our own making─and let the truth of this dark day die here, upon the battlefield.
347 343 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03003_P00010_ESTINIEN What ails you, friend!? Are you wounded?
348 344 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03003_P00020_ESTINIEN You have borne witness to history...to the culmination of the first battle with Nidhogg.
349 345 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03003_P00030_ESTINIEN The legend of Ishgard's founding tells that our ancestors were led to the land of Coerthas by the valiant King Thordan.
350 346 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03003_P00040_ESTINIEN In the midst of their journey, they came to a wide chasm, where they were set upon by a great wyrm─Nidhogg. A furious battle then ensued, with Thordan leading the van.
351 347 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03003_P00050_ESTINIEN Though the brave king was slain defending his people, his son, Haldrath, the first Azure Dragoon, fought on undaunted...
352 348 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03003_P00060_ESTINIEN And with a mighty thrust of his lance, he gouged out Nidhogg's eye, forcing the wicked creature into retreat.
353 349 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03003_P00070_ESTINIEN Thus did this eldritch orb become a sacred treasure of Ishgard, lending its power to every knight deemed worthy to bear the title of Azure Dragoon.
354 350 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03003_P00080_ESTINIEN A rousing tale, is it not? Would that I could still believe it. But your vision, which we must accept as immutable truth, leaves no room for doubt─save on one point.
355 351 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03003_P00090_ESTINIEN If Haldrath took both of Nidhogg's eyes, then how came this eye to be lodged in the wyrm's skull?
356 352 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03003_P00100_ESTINIEN Beneath every answer we unearth, another question lies buried...
357 353 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03003_Q00010_ESTINIEN 'Twas a fierce battle, but one I knew we would win. Your fame is well deserved, Warrior of Light. Full proud am I to have fought at your side.
358 354 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03003_Q00020_ESTINIEN I would fain return with all swiftness to Ishgard to inform the lord commander of our triumph...
359 355 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03003_Q00030_ESTINIEN But we must first have words with Hraesvelgr. There are parts of this tale that the wyrm has kept from us, and I would know wherefore...

361 357 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03003_R00020_HRAESVELGR I did sense the moment of Nidhogg's demise...
362 358 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03003_R00030_ESTINIEN You mean the moment I prised your eye from his head?
363 359 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03003_R00040_HRAESVELGR 'Twould seem thou hast uncovered my secret. Aye. Unto the blinded Nidhogg did I yield one half of my strength...
364 360 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03003_S00010_HRAESVELGR Nidhogg... What hath befallen thee?
365 361 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03003_S00020_NIDHOGG We are undone by covetous mortals. They did take Ratatoskr's eyes...and glut their appetites upon her essence...
366 362 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03003_S00030_HRAESVELGR She is slain, then? What madness hath unmade our peaceful accord!?
367 363 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03003_S00040_NIDHOGG Did I not warn thee, brood-brother? They have ever been untrustworthy creatures, these short-lived Elezen.
368 364 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03003_S00050_NIDHOGG But thou wert enchanted by thy mortal maid. Thy folly hath cost Ratatoskr her life, and me mine eyes...
369 365 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03003_S00060_HRAESVELGR Oh, my beloved Shiva... How swiftly are thy kin made bestial by their appetites.
370 366 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03003_S00070_NIDHOGG Hraesvelgr. 'Twas thy blindness that did invite disaster into our lands. Surrender thee an eye to me, and let that be thy penance.
371 367 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03003_S00080_HRAESVELGR Nidhogg...
372 368 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03003_S00090_NIDHOGG They bested me once, but I was reckless. I shall need but a single eye to inflict enduring torment upon these traitors and every child of their line!

376 372 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03003_T00020_ICEHEART It was yours... Your strength that sustained Nidhogg all these years...
377 373 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03003_T00030_ESTINIEN Would that Haldrath had dealt the wyrm a killing blow...
378 374 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03003_T00040_HRAESVELGR When my brood-brother did appear before me, bloody and blinded, his life was all but spent. He demanded half my vigor, that he might exact his revenge upon the mortals who had wronged us.
379 375 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03003_T00050_ICEHEART And so you acquiesced! You surrendered your eye to Nidhogg knowing full well the suffering he would inflict!
380 376 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03003_T00060_HRAESVELGR The peace my beloved so dearly desired had been shattered by her own kin.
381 377 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03003_T00070_HRAESVELGR Their treachery claimed my brood-sister's life and my brood-brother's reason! Thinkest thou thy fits of indignation will move me to remorse!?
382 378 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03003_T00080_HRAESVELGR Go, mortals! Take your unruly passions and leave this place... Your presence here spelleth naught but misery.
383 379 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03003_T00090_HRAESVELGR Were it not for Shiva's soothing embrace, I would slay you where you stand. Woe betide you should the bond we share ever weaken!
384 380 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03003_U00010_ESTINIEN 'Twas my life's goal to slay Nidhogg, but I find there is little joy to be had in its accomplishment.
385 381 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03003_U00020_ICEHEART But you have rid the world of a hate-filled creature, and ended a bloody war in so doing...
386 382 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03003_U00030_ESTINIEN I lost my family to Nidhogg's flames. And 'twas with fury in my heart that I took up the lance. Every blow I struck, I struck in the name of vengeance. We were not so different, he and I.
387 383 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03003_U00040_ICEHEART I will not judge you for your deeds─I have not the right. Too many innocents have perished in the name of my “greater good.”
388 384 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03003_U00050_ESTINIEN Yet even with all that has passed, the tale is incomplete.
389 385 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03003_U00060_ESTINIEN We are short a great wyrm's eye. Of the pair which Haldrath took from Nidhogg, only one is known to us─the one I bear. What, then, became of the other?
390 386 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03003_U00070_ESTINIEN Why did Nidhogg, who had taken such pains to prolong the Dragonsong War, suddenly decide to hurl his entire army against the walls of Ishgard?
391 387 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03003_U00080_ESTINIEN Lord Commander... Aye, the deed is done. Nidhogg is slain.
392 388 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03003_U00090_ESTINIEN What? ...In the city!? A battle with whom!?
393 389 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03003_U00100_ESTINIEN At once, Lord Commander. Hold firm till our return.
394 390 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03003_U00110_ESTINIEN Fighting has broken out in the city. Lord Aymeric was sparse with the particulars, but it seems some commoners threw open the gates to a force of heretics.
395 391 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03003_U00120_ICEHEART I gave no order to attack!
396 392 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03003_U00130_ESTINIEN Are we to mark the end of the Dragonsong War by spilling the blood of our own? Mayhap Hraesvelgr was right about us...
397 393 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03003_U00140_ESTINIEN Let us away, Warrior of Light. The people must be saved from themselves.
398 394 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03003_U00150_ICEHEART Wait! I would join you!
399 395 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03003_U00160_ICEHEART There has been enough violence. I will appeal to my people in the city and make them see reason!

401 397 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03003_V00010_ZEPHIRIN A small army of heretics has invaded the city, Your Eminence.
402 398 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03003_V00020_ZEPHIRIN But there is no cause for concern. A sizable contingent of our soldiers is already in place to repel the Dravanian assault, and the intruders will soon find themselves outnumbered and outmatched.
403 399 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03003_V00030_THORDAN Our plans proceed apace, then.
404 400 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03003_V00040_ZEPHIRIN Yes, Your Eminence. This unrest shall serve to feed the people's fear of the heretics and the dragons both.
405 401 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03003_V00050_THORDAN And lend renewed fervor to their prayers for deliverance...
406 402 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03003_V00060_THORDAN Very good. Grant our guests what time they need to sow a measure of chaos, then order the Temple Knights to crush them.
407 403 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03003_V00070_ZEPHIRIN Your will be done.
408 404 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03003_V00080_LAHABREA The moment is at hand?

23 19 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03004_100040_EDMONT The infamous Lady Iceheart, here in Ishgard? This is most unexpected...
24 20 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03004_100050_AYMERIC She has done much to quell the violence. The inquisition may not approve, but we are glad of her presence.
25 21 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03004_100060_EDMONT And with the great wyrm's demise, even our nation's more reactionary elements will have scant grounds to press for her immediate impeachment.
26 22 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03004_100070_AYMERIC My thoughts exactly.
27 23 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03004_100080_ALPHINAUD What of the truth revealed to us by Hraesvelgr? That the origins of the Dragonsong War─a core tenet of Ishgardian faith─are quite unlike those depicted in the scriptures.
28 24 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03004_100090_AYMERIC ...That men and dragons once lived together in harmony, and that it was man's treachery which shattered the peace and plunged our peoples into war.
29 25 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03004_100100_EDMONT The same scripture also describes the origins of the High Houses. Were it exposed as false, the legitimacy of our rule would be called into question.
30 26 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03004_100110_EDMONT If both highborn and lowborn can trace their ancestry to Thordan and his knights twelve...
31 27 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03004_100120_ALPHINAUD But a single sip of dragon's blood is required to confirm their lineage.
32 28 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03004_100130_AYMERIC If the Holy See knew of this and chose to remain silent, their crimes are grievous indeed. Regardless, this state of affairs cannot be allowed to continue.
33 29 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03004_100140_EDMONT Ser Aymeric! You cannot mean to raise this matter with the archbishop!?
34 30 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03004_100150_HAURCHEFANT Pray consider what you are proposing! If the Holy See chose to conceal the truth for centuries, what reason would they have to reveal it now!?
35 31 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03004_100160_ALPHINAUD At best, you will be branded a heretic and clapped in irons!
36 32 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03004_100170_AYMERIC Then, at least, the archbishop will have shown his true colors. My friends, this war will never truly be at an end until the truth is made known.
37 33 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03004_100180_AYMERIC You must see what lies on the horizon if it is not. When ruled by fear of a common enemy, we were united.
38 34 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03004_100190_AYMERIC But now we have none. During the war, the highborn needed men to lead, and the lowborn, men to follow. Not anymore. 'Tis but a matter of time before the old order is called into question.
39 35 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03004_100200_AYMERIC Lady Iceheart will share the truth with her followers, and the Holy See will be powerless to stop its spread. The disenfranchised will rise up, united, and blood will flow in the streets once more...

43 39 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03004_200020_ALPHINAUD I sympathize with the lord commander's desire for reform, but to approach the archbishop in this manner bespeaks an idealism to which I did not think Ser Aymeric prone.
44 40 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03004_200030_LUCIA Though he comports himself as a realist, he has long dreamt of reform. 'Twas that idealism which first drew me to him─that which made me swear an oath to serve.
45 41 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03004_200040_LUCIA We must not think of ways to hinder his cause, but rather ways to aid it─even should the Holy See cry heresy.
46 42 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03004_200050_ALPHINAUD You cannot mean...
47 43 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03004_200060_LUCIA If the lord commander does not return from the Vault at the appointed hour, I mean to go and fetch him.
48 44 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03004_200070_EDMONT Have care, my lady─your words border on treason! Should they reach the wrong ears, you would be declared an enemy of Ishgard!
49 45 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03004_200080_LUCIA That is a risk I am willing to take. Lest you forget, my lord─I am not born of this land. My loyalty is to the lord commander alone.
50 46 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03004_200090_LUCIA But I speak only of what may come to pass. If the rumors regarding his heritage are to be believed, we have naught to fear.

53 49 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03004_200120_LUCIA That Ser Aymeric is the archbishop's bastard son.
54 50 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03004_200130_LUCIA Senior clergy are not permitted to marry and sire children. But even the holiest among us are not immune to temptation.
55 51 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03004_200140_ALPHINAUD I labor to believe it... Ser Aymeric is truly the archbishop's son?
56 52 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03004_200150_LUCIA He has never been publicly acknowledged as such, but the rumors have plagued him since childhood.
57 53 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03004_200160_LUCIA That he rose to his current position, despite being despised as a bastard, and accused of profiting from his father's influence, bespeaks the quality of his character.
58 54 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03004_200170_LUCIA It is my hope that on this occasion, the burden of his birth will work in his favor. Should our worst fears be realized, the archbishop will not be so quick to execute his own flesh and blood, affording us time to mount a rescue.
59 55 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03004_200180_ESTINIEN Bastard or trueborn, he is our nation's best hope. If the Holy See dares to threaten him, I shall lead the charge against the Vault myself.
60 56 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03004_200190_HAURCHEFANT Hear, hear! The future of Ishgard rests on Ser Aymeric's shoulders! I too will do mine utmost to aid his cause!

62 58 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03004_200210_HAURCHEFANT A knight lives to serve, Father─to aid those in need! The people need Ser Aymeric─more than ever─and we may be his only hope!
63 59 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03004_200220_HAURCHEFANT There is no greater calling for a knight than to save the life of his fellow man. I swear to you, on the sigil of our house, that I shall do this and make you proud.

78 74 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03004_400010_HILDA ...So while you were on your way to kill Nidhogg, you stumbled on some dirty secrets that the Holy See has been hidin' for centuries.
79 75 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03004_400020_REVOLUTIONARY1 Eh? What are they on about?
80 76 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03004_400030_HILDA The High Houses, and what makes a nobleman so bleedin' noble. They trace their blood back to King Thordan and his knights twelve─the founders of Ishgard.
81 77 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03004_400040_HILDA But our friends here reckon we're <Emphasis>all</Emphasis> descended from the heroes of eld─highborn and lowborn alike.
82 78 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03004_400050_HILDA And so Ser Aymeric, lord commander of the Temple Knights, has gone to ask the archbishop if he wouldn't mind lettin' everyone know.
83 79 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03004_400060_REVOLUTIONARY2 Is he simple!? The old bastard'll have him executed for heresy!
84 80 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03004_400070_HILDA Well, seems to me that's what the good ser wants. Seems he thinks a noble sacrifice will serve to prove his claims.
85 81 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03004_400080_ALPHINAUD We cannot stand idly by and allow Ser Aymeric to do this. Ishgard has need of him.

91 87 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03004_400140_CHARIBERT Oooh. Plotting insurrection I shouldn't wonder! Tsk-tsk. That won't do.
92 88 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03004_400150_CHARIBERT Sickness is wont to fester and spread. It must be burned out ere the infection takes hold.
93 89 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03004_400160_HILDA I reckon ser'd be happy to wield the irons himself. Well, so happens I've got irons of my own.

95 91 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03004_400180_CHARIBERT Let us step outside, milady. In here, your toys could hurt someone.
96 92 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03004_500010_CHARIBERT There's no denying your gifts... A well-deserved reputation indeed.
97 93 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03004_500020_LUCIA Enough!
98 94 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03004_500030_CHARIBERT Hmph.
99 95 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03004_500040_HILDA Gah! Lucky bastard.
100 96 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03004_500050_ALPHINAUD Nay...'tis we who are lucky. Had we fought on, 'twas but a matter of time before our conflict claimed the life of an innocent bystander.
101 97 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03004_500060_LUCIA I thought the Heavens' Ward might come here as well.
102 98 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03004_500070_HAURCHEFANT They came to the Temple Knights' headquarters?
103 99 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03004_500080_LUCIA Aye. Ser Grinnaux announced that the lord commander had been imprisoned under suspicion of heresy, and that the Heavens' Ward had been granted full authority in his stead.
104 100 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03004_500090_HAURCHEFANT Then the Heavens' Ward now commands the Temple Knights...
105 101 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03004_500100_LUCIA Those still loyal to Ser Aymeric answer to me. Alas, that amounts to but half our number.
106 102 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03004_500110_LUCIA The other half, who opposed his promotion to lord commander, have gathered at the Vault as ordered.
107 103 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03004_500120_HILDA Bolsterin' the guard already, eh? If I didn't know any better, I'd say you're expected.
108 104 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03004_500130_LUCIA I take it you're in charge around here?
109 105 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03004_500140_HILDA Hilda, and yes. The young master was just persuadin' me to join his lost cause. Convincin' little beggar, isn't he?
110 106 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03004_500150_HILDA Aye, your passion moved me─a bit. That, and the fact that we're sick of livin' off the leavin's of our “betters.”
111 107 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03004_500160_HILDA If you've a mind to change things around here, then we've a mind to join you!

117 113 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03004_600060_AYMERIC Nidhogg is fallen! There is no need for further deception! Now is the time to renounce the lies which led us down this path─to start anew!
118 114 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03004_600070_THORDAN And tear down the very pillars of our society─our history, our values─everything we have built over a thousand years? <sigh> A fool to the last.

125 121 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03004_700010_EDMONT Don't. Please.
126 122 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03004_700020_EDMONT A knight lives to serve. To protect. To sacrifice. There is no greater calling.
127 123 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03004_700030_EDMONT Leave me to mourn, and give chase. For my son, and for the nation he loved. Go.
128 124 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03004_700040_ALPHINAUD ...His sacrifice shall not be forgotten.
129 125 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03004_700050_EDMONT My son...
130 126 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03004_800010_AYMERIC My friends. I am in your debt.
131 127 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03004_800020_ALPHINAUD Think nothing of it. Your wounds are healing well, I trust?
132 128 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03004_800030_AYMERIC Some wounds do not heal...
133 129 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03004_900010_AYMERIC The founding, the scriptures─a thousand years of lies─all to deceive the common man!
134 130 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03004_900020_AYMERIC Nay, our own brothers and sisters─for the blood of the knights twelve flows within <Emphasis>all</Emphasis> our veins! You knew this to be true. You knew and you concealed it!
135 131 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03004_900030_THORDAN I should be interested to hear how you came by this knowledge. But yes, you have the right of it.
136 132 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03004_A00010_THORDAN The architects of Ishgard, King Thordan and his knights twelve, entrapped and butchered the great wyrm Ratatoskr, that they might partake of her eyes, and thereby transcend their mortal limits.
137 133 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03004_A00020_THORDAN Upon learning of their treachery, Nidhogg was consumed with a murderous─and justified─rage. I daresay you know what followed...
138 134 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03004_A00030_AYMERIC The great wyrm slew the king and half of his knights.
139 135 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03004_A00040_THORDAN Aye...but Nidhogg was subdued, and his eyes plucked from their sockets by the knights that remained.
140 136 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03004_A00050_THORDAN Their one mistake was to show mercy, for from his brother Hraesvelgr did Nidhogg receive a new eye, thus rejuvenating his form and empowering him to embark upon an eternal quest for vengeance.
141 137 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03004_A00060_AYMERIC ...Whilst Thordan's son Haldrath took one of Nidhogg's eyes and learned to wield its power in defense of his people...
142 138 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03004_A00070_THORDAN Thus was the first Azure Dragoon born. And ever since that time, his honored successors have risen to drive Nidhogg from our lands whenever the wyrm has returned to plague us.
143 139 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03004_B00010_THORDAN I ask you, my son: will you answer for my sins? Will your son and his son answer for me as well?
144 140 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03004_B00020_AYMERIC What do you mean?
145 141 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03004_B00030_THORDAN If a man cannot atone for his sins in the course of his all-too-fleeting life, must his progeny then be held to account? Must every subsequent generation be judged as well?
146 142 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03004_B00040_THORDAN Thordan's betrayal of Ratatoskr was an unconscionable, unforgivable sin.
147 143 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03004_B00050_THORDAN Should we, then, as his descendants, meekly surrender ourselves to an eternity of punishment?
148 144 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03004_B00060_THORDAN Nay, say I. I would not see our children sacrificed in a vain attempt to appease an implacable foe.
149 145 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03004_B00070_THORDAN Dragons are not like us, my son. To they who live forever, the wrongs of antiquity are as those of yesterday. No reparations shall ever suffice.
150 146 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03004_B00080_THORDAN This fact alone should serve as ample justification for our actions, yet some refuse to see it as such. For men like you, who yearn to commit themselves to a nobler cause, a more compelling narrative is required.
151 147 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03004_B00090_AYMERIC This is your solution!? This is how you protect our people?
152 148 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03004_B00100_AYMERIC You have given us a <Emphasis>lost</Emphasis> cause! A death sentence! With your compelling narrative, you but doom our countrymen to give their lives for a lie!
153 149 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03004_B00110_THORDAN And they do so gladly. Highborn and lowborn alike are proud to serve─to fight and die for their country.
154 150 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03004_B00120_THORDAN And what would you say to them?
155 151 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03004_B00130_THORDAN What would you tell the wives who have lost their husbands, the mothers who have lost their sons? ...That their loved ones died for naught?
156 152 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03004_B00140_AYMERIC I...
157 153 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03004_B00150_THORDAN Over the course of a thousand years, countless men have donned these robes, and every one of them came to accept the necessity of this solution. Once, I hoped you might come to accept it as well.
158 154 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03004_B00160_THORDAN Do not despair, my son. Soon I shall free us from the sins of antiquity...
159 155 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03004_B00170_THORDAN ...And bring about the change you so fervently desire.
160 156 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03004_B00180_THORDAN If he has spoken with others, I would have their names. Escort him to a cell and question him─thoroughly.
161 157 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03004_B00190_ZEPHIRIN Your Eminence.
162 158 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03004_C00010_ALPHINAUD You saw something, did you not? A vision of the past?
163 159 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03004_C00020_AYMERIC So this is the power of the Echo. Would that it had shown you a finer moment from my past.
164 160 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03004_C00030_AYMERIC 'Twas an exercise in futility, as you saw. Faced with the firmity of his conviction, and his many ready rejoinders, my words deserted me. To be frank, I am embarrassed to recall it.
165 161 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03004_C00040_ALPHINAUD A friend once impressed upon me the importance of differentiating between words, deeds, and beliefs. Were he here, I suspect he would judge your father's “conviction” to be no more than rank, self-serving delusion.
166 162 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03004_C00050_ALPHINAUD Even so, I cannot help but wonder what manner of “change” he intends to bring about.
167 163 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03004_C00060_AYMERIC I have given some thought to that as well.
168 164 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03004_C00070_AYMERIC During the battle within the Vault, the Heavens' Ward demonstrated strange and unnatural abilities.
169 165 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03004_C00080_LUCIA Aye, the manner in which Ser Zephirin struck down Lord Haurchefant was unlike anything I've ever seen before.
170 166 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03004_C00090_AYMERIC The spectacle called to mind King Thordan and his knights twelve as they are depicted in scripture─holy powers and all...
171 167 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03004_C00100_ALPHINAUD Mere fabrications...which have become objects of faith...instilled with the belief of countless devoted souls...
172 168 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03004_C00110_ALPHINAUD Seven hells!
173 169 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03004_C00120_AYMERIC If Lady Iceheart can use her own body as a vessel for summoning, I see no reason why others could not...
174 170 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03004_C00130_LUCIA Are the Heavens' Ward truly so reckless?
175 171 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03004_C00140_ALPHINAUD Unbelievable.
176 172 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03004_C00150_AYMERIC As they fled, my father spoke of Azys Lla.
177 173 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03004_C00160_AYMERIC Though I know not what he intends, I fear no good shall come of it. His ambitions are too great, and his minions too powerful...
178 174 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03004_C00170_AYMERIC We must find the Heavens' Ward, and stop my father, before it is too late.

16 12 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03005_200060_THORDAN My thanks to you, Ascian─and to you as well, Warrior of Light, for saving us the effort of slaying Bismarck.
17 13 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03005_200070_THORDAN Now that the key is within our grasp, the path to the heavens shall at last be laid bare!
18 14 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03005_200080_THORDAN Hahaha... Ahahahahaha!
19 15 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03005_200090_THORDAN By our deeds shall the wrongs of antiquity be righted, and man reclaim the reins of history!
20 16 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03005_300010_ALPHINAUD Wait. Something is amiss...
21 17 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03005_300020_ALPHINAUD Imperial troops─and they have already secured the area.
22 18 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03005_300030_REGULA Reveal yourselves at once!
23 19 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03005_300040_REGULA And there I was expecting more beastmen. Who are you!?
24 20 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03005_300050_VARIS I thought Ishgardians responsible for the disappearance of our scouts, but I see now that I was mistaken.
25 21 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03005_300060_VARIS Just as Roaille observed. The Warrior of Light is wont to appear at the most inopportune times.
26 22 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03005_300070_REGULA The Warrior of Light? <If(PlayerParameter(4))>She<Else/>He</If> who bested van Baelsar!?
27 23 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03005_300080_VARIS It would seem that the famous hero of Eorzea seeks Azys Lla as well.
28 24 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03005_300090_VARIS Hardly unexpected. The secrets of the Allagans' power to bind eikons to their will could scarcely fail to interest the Scions of the Seventh Dawn...
29 25 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03005_300100_VARIS You know as well as we what will ensue should these insatiable creatures be allowed to roam free─that their very existence threatens the life of this star. We but disagree on the solution to the problem.
30 26 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03005_300110_ALPHINAUD Genocide has ever been the Empire's favored recourse─and that is why we will continue to oppose your every attempt to claim Eorzea!
31 27 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03005_300120_VARIS You do not hesitate to speak your mind...even when your every word could be your last.
32 28 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03005_300130_VARIS Alas, your sentiments betray the narrowness of your view. The fate of Eorzea and its inhabitants is of little concern next to the fate of the world.
33 29 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03005_300140_VARIS 'Tis my solemn charge as emperor to bring the eikons to heel. If this requires the extermination of certain elements, then so be it.
34 30 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03005_300150_ALPHINAUD No, don't! They are not his thralls!
35 31 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03005_300160_REGULA Where did that come from!?
36 32 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03005_300170_LUCIA Take cover!
37 33 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03005_300180_REGULA Your Radiance, we must withdraw!
38 34 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03005_300190_VARIS We shall meet again, Warrior of Light. On that you have my word.
39 35 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03005_300200_ALPHINAUD So Garlemald, too, has designs on Azys Lla... But why would the Emperor himself elect to lead the expedition?
40 36 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03005_400010_LUCIA I did not think that I would ever have occasion to pilot a suit of magitek armor again─least of all under these circumstances.
41 37 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03005_400020_LUCIA My full name is Lucia goe Junius, and I was born a citizen of Garlemald.
42 38 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03005_400030_CID Ah, that explains it! When we first met in Ishgard, I very nearly called you Livia.
43 39 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03005_400040_ALPHINAUD Livia...? Livia sas Junius? The tribunus who served under Gaius van Baelsar!?
44 40 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03005_400050_LUCIA Aye, she was my sister─though we spent little time together. After our parents were killed in an uprising, we were sent to live in different households, setting us on separate paths...
45 41 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03005_400060_LUCIA Livia felt at home on the battlefield and chose to become a soldier, while I underwent training to become a spy.
46 42 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03005_400070_ALPHINAUD Then...Ishgard was...?
47 43 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03005_400080_LUCIA My mission. 'Twas believed that Allagan relics of great worth were stored in the Vault, and I was sent to investigate.
48 44 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03005_400090_LUCIA Though I was given little information at the time, I now suspect I was searching for the key we but recently lost. And then I met Ser Aymeric.
49 45 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03005_400100_LUCIA 'Twas his usefulness to my mission which prompted me to approach him, but I soon found myself drawn to him for other reasons.
50 46 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03005_400110_LUCIA He too was a prisoner of his past─judged for his heritage as a bastard son of the archbishop. Yet unlike my sister and I, he did not curse his fate. He simply rose above it.
51 47 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03005_400120_LUCIA In time, I came to realize that I had found a man worth following, and a new home besides. And when I subsequently confessed all to Ser Aymeric, he was good enough to accept me into his service.
52 48 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03005_400130_ALPHINAUD ...I do not question your loyalty to Ser Aymeric. 'Tis your loyalty to your sister which concerns me.
53 49 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03005_400140_LUCIA I have long been of the opinion that those who dwell in the past risk losing sight of their future.
54 50 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03005_400150_LUCIA My sister fought for her convictions, and for those she held dear. So do I. So must we all.
55 51 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03005_400160_CID Well, I for one am happy to welcome a fellow Garlean to our merry band─especially one who can make magitek armor sing!
56 52 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03005_400170_BIGGS Chief, we should be getting close.
57 53 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03005_400180_WEDGE Once we break through those clouds, we'll be right where the light was pointing─right where Azys Lla should be!
58 54 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03005_400190_CID Hold on, everyone!
59 55 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03005_500010_CID Look! I think that's it!
60 56 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03005_500020_BIGGS Chief, is that...?
61 57 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03005_500030_CID Allagan, aye. There's no mistaking their handiwork.
62 58 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03005_500040_ALPHINAUD What was that!?
63 59 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03005_500050_CID Some sort of barrier!?
64 60 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03005_500060_WEDGE She won't hold, Chief! She's breaking up!
65 61 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03005_500070_BIGGS I've lost the auxiliary propeller!
66 62 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03005_500080_ALPHINAUD Cid, it's no use! We must return to Ishgard and find another way!
67 63 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03005_500090_CID Damn it all! Why do the Allagans always have to make everything so bloody complicated!?

4 0 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03006_000010_CID ...In summary, the isle owes its lofty position to the industry of the Allagans. And we can be all but certain that the archbishop and his cronies are enjoying the view from its top.
5 1 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03006_000020_AYMERIC I see.
6 2 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03006_000030_CID If we are to join them, we will first need to pass through the isle's aetheric barrier─which is, alas, more powerful than most. Powerful enough to make a mess of a perfectly good airship, at any rate...
7 3 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03006_000040_CID As far as I can gather, the barrier mechanism draws aether from the surrounding environment, and polarizes its elemental aspect to produce what is, in effect, a wall of lightning.
8 4 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03006_000050_ALPHINAUD It seems plain that without the Vanu's key, any attempt to reach the isle will end in failure.
9 5 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03006_000060_CID Alas, the key was careless enough to leave without us, and I don't think the Vanu keep a spare.
10 6 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03006_000070_AYMERIC Master Garlond─based on your experience, is there no other way that we might breach the barrier?
11 7 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03006_000080_CID Well, in the past, we've beaten similar barriers by nullifying them with elemental converters.
12 8 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03006_000090_CID But the one we're up against this time dwarfs aught we've encountered before. The <Emphasis>Enterprise</Emphasis> simply isn't large enough to bear the requisite amount of crystals.
13 9 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03006_000100_ALPHINAUD I am reminded of the quantity needed to nullify Leviathan's command of the sea... A veritable mountain of crystals that could only be borne by lashing two galleons together to form a “twin vessel” scarcely able to propel itself, much less fly.
14 10 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03006_000110_CID That said, we're not without options. If it isn't feasible to nullify the barrier, we might try <Emphasis>piercing</Emphasis> it.
15 11 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03006_000120_AYMERIC How?
16 12 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03006_000130_CID We create a ram of condensed aether and mount it on my ship. There's just one problem─I don't have the faintest idea how to build one. It's going to take a true authority in the field, I reckon.
17 13 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03006_000140_ALPHINAUD Would that the Archons were still with us...
18 14 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03006_000150_EDMONT But yesterday evening, I chanced to find Mistress Tataru in unusually high spirits. Assuming I understood her excited ramblings correctly, she has acquired a clue pointing to the whereabouts of one such individual.
19 15 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03006_000160_ALPHINAUD An Archon!? Truly!?
20 16 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03006_000170_CID Hah, fortune favors the righteous, eh? Well then, let's not waste any time. While you go and look for our missing friend, I'll work on modifying the <Emphasis>Enterprise</Emphasis>. Her hull will need reinforcing to bear the punishment, not to mention a mount for the ram.
21 17 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03006_000180_CID Just you wait, my pretty─by the time I'm finished, you'll be an airship reborn!
22 18 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03006_100010_KANESENNA In requesting the elementals' assistance to find Y'shtola, you must needs be aware of one difficulty─a difficulty born of the fundamental difference between man and elemental.
23 19 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03006_100020_ALPHINAUD That being...?
24 20 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03006_100030_KANESENNA In perceiving the world around him, man relies upon senses such as sight and sound. For the sake of convenience, he gives names to such things as are near or dear to him.
25 21 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03006_100040_KANESENNA Being formed of pure aether, however, such concepts are foreign to the elementals. Instead, they perceive by observing the ebb and flow of the energies of life.
26 22 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03006_100050_KANESENNA So profound a division cannot be bridged with simple discourse. The elementals' voices stir not the air, and thus reach not our ears, while our words are but wind to them.
27 23 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03006_100060_KANESENNA Though we seers can commune with them through feelings, naught that we can impart will serve to aid them in identifying Y'shtola. Nay, they must needs be presented with aether which is akin to hers. If you could but find a family member...
28 24 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03006_100070_TATARU Oh, I know just the person!
29 25 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03006_100080_TATARU Y'shtola has a sister who came to live in Gridania. She told me about her once.
30 26 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03006_100090_KANESENNA That is most fortunate indeed! Pray seek this sister out, then, and bring her to Everschade.
31 27 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03006_100100_KANESENNA There, we shall petition the great ones' aid in finding your lost companion.
32 28 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03006_200010_KANESENNA Let us begin.
33 29 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03006_200020_KANESENNA Raya-O, A-Ruhn─if you would.
34 30 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03006_200030_KANESENNA Hearken to me, O great ones. Pray give yourselves to the Lifestream, a drifting soul to find.
35 31 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03006_200040_TATARU Please, Y'shtola... Please come back to us...
36 32 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03006_200050_KANESENNA There!
37 33 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03006_200060_KANESENNA Now!
38 34 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03006_200070_KANESENNA A room has been readied at the Roost. Pray bear her thither at once.
39 35 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03006_200080_KANESENNA All that remains is to pray, my friends.
40 36 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03006_300010_TATARU Y'shtola! I'm so glad you're back!
41 37 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03006_300020_YSHTOLA Tataru...
42 38 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03006_300030_TATARU Weahhh! Weahhh!
43 39 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03006_300040_YSHTOLA You are safe... Thank the Twelve.
44 40 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03006_300050_YSHTOLA Something has changed about you, Alphinaud. Or mayhap the change is with me? I seem to sense the aether around me more keenly than before.
45 41 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03006_300060_ALPHINAUD I am pleased to see you well again. Do you feel strong enough to talk?
46 42 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03006_300070_YSHTOLA Worry not. I am well enough.
47 43 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03006_300080_ALPHINAUD Tell us, then─what befell you after you fled the feast? We were told that there had been a tunnel collapse.
48 44 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03006_300090_YSHTOLA That was my doing. I brought the tunnel down that you and Minfilia might escape.
49 45 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03006_300100_YSHTOLA At the last moment, I invoked a teleportation magick in hopes of spiriting Thancred away, at least. Needless to say, it did not go quite as planned, and I found myself adrift in the Lifestream.
50 46 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03006_300110_YSHTOLA The others─where are they? Did they not escape?
51 47 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03006_300120_ALPHINAUD They remain unaccounted for. You are the only one we have been able to find.
52 48 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03006_300130_ALPHINAUD I am truly sorry. It was the Crystal Braves who pursued you that day─my hubris that led to our undoing.
53 49 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03006_300140_YSHTOLA No apologies are necessary, Alphinaud─you are not to blame for what occurred. Know that were our comrades here, they would commend you for keeping the light of hope alive.
54 50 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03006_300150_TATARU Don't...don't worry! The others are alive and well, I'm sure of it! We just need to find them!
55 51 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03006_300160_ALPHINAUD Indeed, Tataru. Let us find our friends and rebuild the Scions.
56 52 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03006_300170_YSHTOLA Ha! There is the Alphinaud I remember─and I feel much the better for his return! 'Tis time I arose!
57 53 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03006_300180_TATARU That reminds me! I have a change of clothes for you! I don't like to boast, but I made them myself. I learned how to weave while we were in Ishgard, you see.
58 54 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03006_300190_YSHTOLA Tataru has apprised me of all that took place in the aftermath of the assassination plot. It would seem I have been away for some while.
59 55 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03006_300200_ALPHINAUD Yes, much and more happened during your absence. At present, we seek to follow the archbishop to Azys Lla.
60 56 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03006_300210_YSHTOLA And you want for some manner of aetheric ram to pierce the floating isle's protective barrier.
61 57 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03006_300220_ALPHINAUD We do. Might you be able to furnish us with one?
62 58 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03006_300230_YSHTOLA A means to prise open a hole in an Allagan barrier─and one large enough to admit an airship, no less... Hm... Nay. I lack the knowledge to devise such a weapon.
63 59 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03006_300240_YSHTOLA ...But I know of one who could.
64 60 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03006_300250_YSHTOLA A leading figure in the field of aetheric research, and one of the finest scholars ever to grace Sharlayan─Matoya, my former master.
65 61 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03006_400010_EDMONT To the Thaliak River, whereto the melted snows of Abalathia's Spine eventually find their way by means of a thousand silver streams...
66 62 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03006_400020_EDMONT Whose waters have long nourished the Dravanian hinterlands, and so provided for a settlement of learned souls from across the northern seas...
67 63 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03006_400030_EDMONT To the city of Sharlayan, that great seat of knowledge, now abandoned by her keepers, they came.
68 64 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03006_500010_MATOYA Don't you know it's rude to enter without knocking? Hmph, the youth of today─no manners at all...
69 65 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03006_500020_YSHTOLA Though we neglected to knock, we <Emphasis>did</Emphasis> create something of a commotion. I had hoped that would suffice.
70 66 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03006_500030_MATOYA Heavy-handed as ever, I see. And still not a hint of grace. Some things never change.
71 67 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03006_500040_YSHTOLA To give credit where credit is due─I learned from the best. It has been too long, Master Matoya.
72 68 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03006_500050_MATOYA Indeed it has. It's good to see you again, my girl, and with your fiery spirit unquenched. But look at you─all grown up and womanly.
73 69 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03006_500060_MATOYA ...The one there in the fancy duds─that's Louisoix's granddaughter, I take it?
74 70 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03006_500070_ALPHINAUD Ahem. Grandson, begging your pardons. You knew my grandfather, my lady?
75 71 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03006_500080_MATOYA ...Knew him? We were constantly at each other's throats! Like rabid dogs, we were! He was a stubborn bugger, was your grandfather. Never a dull moment when he was around, though, I'll give him that. As for you, boy, I've known you since you were a rosy-cheeked babe at the teat.
76 72 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03006_500090_ALPHINAUD And my sister, too, I gather. May I say what an honor it is to meet you again, my lady.
77 73 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03006_500100_MATOYA Spare me the hollow pleasantries, boy. I'll wager my remaining good teeth you didn't come to a forgotten corner of Eorzea to flirt with a wrinkly old woman. Now, out with it─what is it you need of me?
78 74 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03006_500110_MATOYA Azys Lla... I never thought I'd hear that name again...
79 75 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03006_500120_YSHTOLA You are familiar with it?
80 76 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03006_500130_MATOYA As familiar as one can get from poring over musty old tomes. The Allagans set the isle afloat not long before the sun set on their empire. Old Louisoix and I often talked about it.
81 77 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03006_500140_MATOYA The place is home to a research facility dedicated to finding ways of mastering mighty beings such as primals and dragons. And find ways it did, too─<Emphasis>frightening</Emphasis> ones.
82 78 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03006_500150_MATOYA Such secrets as lie buried on Azys Lla aren't fit to see the light of day. And now you tell me a band of dragon-baiting primal-botherers are trying to dig them up!?
83 79 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03006_500160_ALPHINAUD Indeed. And to make matters worse, the Ascians have a hand in their plot. They must be stopped, no matter the cost.
84 80 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03006_500170_MATOYA I see. Very well.
85 81 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03006_500180_YSHTOLA You will help us, then? Truly? I had not anticipated such an impassioned response. Could it be that the presence of young blood has stirred your own?
86 82 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03006_500190_MATOYA Ah, some things never change... One day, that pertness is going to cost you your tail, my girl. Don't say I didn't warn you.
87 83 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03006_600010_MATOYA 'Twas some fifty years ago, shortly after Garlemald had brought all of Ilsabard under its rule.
88 84 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03006_600020_MATOYA Faced with the threat of invasion, the people of Sharlayan scrambled about for a means to resist the Empire. For my part, I was tasked with developing an aetheric converger.
89 85 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03006_600030_YSHTOLA Ah, yes, a device which draws in aether and concentrates it to produce a destructive force.
90 86 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03006_600040_MATOYA But as my research neared its end, it was denounced by the Forum, who claimed that my device was more likely to destroy us than our enemies.
91 87 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03006_600050_MATOYA After that, they and I had a little falling-out, and I decided to seal away all the fruits of my research, lest the dunderheaded ingrates reap any benefit. Petty, I know, but gods, it was satisfying!
92 88 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03006_600060_YSHTOLA Do mine ears deceive? 'Twas you, was it not, who was so fond of saying that all knowledge exists to advance mankind? That how it is used depends on us?
93 89 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03006_600070_MATOYA I don't remember. Perhaps. All right, yes, that was a pet phrase of mine. And that should give you a notion of how sick and tired I was of those spineless wretches of the Forum. All talk and no trousers, that lot. That's why I decided to remain behind rather than join the exodus.
94 90 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03006_600080_ALPHINAUD You may have had your disagreements with my grandfather, but upon that point, your minds were as one.
95 91 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03006_600090_YSHTOLA With respect, Master─the fruits of your research should not be left to spoil. Will you share with us the secrets of the aetheric converger?
96 92 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03006_600100_MATOYA Aye, I will. All the information you need is contained in a tome I wrote on the subject. But you'll have to fetch it from the forbidden section of the Great Library.
97 93 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03006_600110_YSHTOLA You were not exaggerating when you said that you had sealed it away. Though the city is abandoned, the library's guardians are all but certain to remain. We must needs cut a path through them. Come─let us away.
98 94 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03006_600120_MATOYA Not so fast, you lot! Shtola and the boy are staying with me.
99 95 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03006_600130_MATOYA I need help to make new sentinels to replace the old ones you walloped. There'll be board and lodging, don't you worry, but know that you'll have to work for them. Hard. I'll have no sluggards in my house!
100 96 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03006_700010_MATOYA I had not thought to behold this tome again...
101 97 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03006_700020_MATOYA There. It is deciphered. Now your friend should be able to make sense of the contents.
102 98 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03006_700030_MATOYA That said, it's one thing to understand the workings of the aetheric converger, and another to actually make it work. You do realize how much aether is required?
103 99 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03006_700040_ALPHINAUD Cid is keenly aware of the energy dilemma. His airship is by no means large, and it can only bear a limited quantity of crystals.
104 100 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03006_700050_YSHTOLA If only we had white auracite and the aetheric siphon...
105 101 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03006_700060_ALPHINAUD Alas, Minfilia is missing, along with both artifacts. And Moenbryda is gone...
106 102 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03006_700070_YSHTOLA Would that there were another ready wellspring of energy for us to draw upon...
107 103 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03006_700080_ALPHINAUD Why did it not occur to us before?
108 104 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03006_700090_ALPHINAUD We already have what we need: the Eye!
109 105 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03006_700100_ALPHINAUD It has been drawing aether into itself for as long as the great wyrms have lived! It is a veritable wellspring of energy!
110 106 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03006_700110_MATOYA Hm, it might just suit our needs. But is this energy something that can be harnessed at will?
111 107 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03006_700120_ALPHINAUD I believe so─with the aid of the Azure Dragoon of Ishgard.
112 108 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03006_700130_YSHTOLA Then it is settled. Let us return to the Holy See at once.
113 109 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03006_700140_MATOYA Shtola, wait.
114 110 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03006_700150_MATOYA When did the light fade from your eyes?
115 111 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03006_700160_YSHTOLA I might have known that it would not escape your notice. It has been this way since I returned from the Lifestream. An aftereffect of the teleportation magick I invoked, most like.

36 32 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03007_200020_REGULA The Third will remain to guard the ship, while the Second patrols the perimeter and eliminates any threats.
37 33 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03007_200030_REGULA The First will come with me to secure the research facility.
38 34 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03007_200040_REGULA Let no man doubt the import of our mission: the Allagans found a means to capture eikons alive, and their knowledge lies hid upon this isle.
39 35 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03007_200050_REGULA If we can but acquire it, we would be able to prevent the beings from returning to plague us, thus ending the cycle of rebirth.
40 36 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03007_200060_REGULA I need not remind you that success will raise our legion high in the Emperor's regard.
41 37 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03007_200070_REGULA Yet, by the same token, His Radiance does not tolerate failure. That is all. All troops, prepare for deployment!
42 38 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03007_200080_YSHTOLA So that is their purpose.
43 39 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03007_200090_ALPHINAUD To think that the knowledge used to bind no less a being than Bahamut sleeps here...
44 40 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03007_200100_YSHTOLA Imprisoning a primal in such a manner would represent an effective means to halt the cycle of summoning─were it not for the grave and obvious risks.
45 41 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03007_200110_ALPHINAUD Indeed. We need but refer to past experience─that of Bahamut's calamitous return─to see why this is not the solution we seek.
46 42 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03007_200120_YSHTOLA Held in duress, a primal will continue to nurse its hatred for mankind. And when it inevitably breaks free, its rage will be beyond quelling.

48 44 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03007_200140_ALPHINAUD Yes, of course. It would not be polite to keep the archbishop waiting.

64 60 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03007_500040_MIDGARDSORMR None other. My form is such that I may journey with Hydaelyn's chosen─
65 61 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03007_500050_MIDGARDSORMR A mortal who desireth to end the war between man and dragon.
66 62 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03007_500060_TIAMAT (-Tiamat-)Millennia have passed since I was brought low by the men of Allag. To think that war rageth still between our kinds...
67 63 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03007_500070_TIAMAT (-Tiamat-)Hearken to my tale, child of man. I am Tiamat, of Midgardsormr's first brood.
68 64 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03007_500080_TIAMAT (-Tiamat-)In a time before time, my father did come to this star, bearing seven eggs.
69 65 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03007_500090_MIDGARDSORMR From these eggs did my children hatch. And once they were full-grown, they took wing and spread across all the lands of Hydaelyn.
70 66 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03007_500100_TIAMAT (-Tiamat-)Together with my brood-brother Bahamut, I journeyed south to Meracydia. And together, we brought forth innumerable children into the world.
71 67 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03007_500110_TIAMAT (-Tiamat-)We abided in peace, and all was well...until the men of Allag came, some five thousand years since. They slaughtered my children in droves, and took from me my beloved Bahamut.
72 68 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03007_500120_TIAMAT (-Tiamat-)'Twas then, when I had fallen into the depths of despair, that black-robed men came unto me. The Ascians.
73 69 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03007_500130_TIAMAT (-Tiamat-)They offered to resurrect Bahamut through their dark arts, and I, in my grief, accepted─a decision which I shall regret unto my dying breath.
74 70 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03007_500140_TIAMAT (-Tiamat-)For what they brought back was a mockery of my beloved. Worse, the Ascians gifted his murderers the means to entrap him.
75 71 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03007_500150_TIAMAT (-Tiamat-)Know this, child of man: the beings thy kind call gods are but specters of thy mind's creation, given form at great cost to Hydaelyn.
76 72 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03007_500160_TIAMAT (-Tiamat-)Many such beings yet slumber across the land, brought to heel by the selfsame empire that bound me. They must not be released into the world.
77 73 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03007_500170_TIAMAT (-Tiamat-)If thou wouldst end the conflict, vanquish thee the Ascians, and deliver the weak of will from the bonds of their dark influence.
78 74 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03007_500180_MIDGARDSORMR It hath been five thousand years, my child. Wilt thou not forgive thyself?
79 75 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03007_500190_TIAMAT (-Tiamat-)The release of death is denied me here, yet I desire not freedom. Nay, Father. I shall live with my regret until the world itself hath ceased to be.
80 76 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03007_500200_TIAMAT (-Tiamat-)Such is my just punishment for consorting with Darkness─for calling forth a loathsome and lamentable creature which blackeneth my beloved's memory.

4 0 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03100_000010_AYMERIC Thank you for coming. I wished to speak with you both in a place where privacy was assured.
5 1 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03100_000020_ALPHINAUD We quite understand. What was it that you wished to discuss?
6 2 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03100_000030_AYMERIC With my father's passing, the seat of the archbishop lies vacant. And so, in accordance with canon law, I have assumed his responsibilities.
7 3 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03100_000040_AYMERIC I should stress that this is a temporary measure. It was never intended that the lord commander of the Temple Knights serve in this capacity indefinitely.
8 4 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03100_000050_AYMERIC Quite the opposite. The statutes specify that I should surrender my powers as soon as a conclave of the senior clergy and the High Houses have named a new archbishop.
9 5 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03100_000060_AYMERIC But in light of recent events, that would not seem appropriate.
10 6 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03100_000070_ALPHINAUD I confess, I did not expect you to divulge quite so much quite so soon. The details of the archbishop's plans, perhaps...but the true origin of the war and all it entails...?
11 7 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03100_000080_AYMERIC I too had concerns. But when the Warrior of Light is witnessed returning to the capital upon the back of a dragon, one's options are rather limited.
12 8 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03100_000090_AYMERIC Mayhap I could have concealed certain details...but for how long? And at what risk? Should the truth have come to light in the meantime, how would the people have viewed my silence?
13 9 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03100_000100_AYMERIC After a thousand years of lies and secrecy, I could not well abuse their trust and hope to be believed. The time for deception has passed.
14 10 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03100_000110_AYMERIC ...I only wish the people agreed. That some would deny the truth, I had anticipated─but not <Emphasis>this</Emphasis> many. And among the few who acknowledge that my father had to be stopped, no small number question our methods.
15 11 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03100_000120_ALPHINAUD If they suspect a coup, it will not be long before some turn to violence.
16 12 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03100_000130_LUCIA It has already begun─and that on both sides. Men and women of the cloth are being harassed in the streets. Some have even been assaulted in the Brume.

18 14 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03100_000150_AYMERIC For all our talk of peace, the people remain frightened and confused. For their sake, we must bring the Dragonsong War to a definitive end.
19 15 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03100_000160_ALPHINAUD And we should be glad to help you, Ser Aymeric. But what precisely would you have us do?
20 16 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03100_000170_LUCIA We wish to treat with the dragons of Anyx Trine. To that end, I would trouble you for an escort and an introduction.
21 17 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03100_000180_ALPHINAUD Anyx Trine? ...You would speak with <Emphasis>Vidofnir</Emphasis>, then?
22 18 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03100_000190_AYMERIC We must needs open a dialogue between our peoples. Acting as my representative, Lucia will extend an invitation to their leader, that she might visit us here in Ishgard.
23 19 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03100_000200_AYMERIC Were she still with us, I would of course have beseeched Ysayle's assistance in this matter. But as she is not, I must ask that you aid us in her stead. Will you do us this favor?
24 20 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03100_000210_AYMERIC Thank you, my friends.
25 21 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03100_000220_AYMERIC Lucia─I leave the rest to you.
26 22 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03100_000230_EDMONT In the wake of the archbishop's fall, the nation of Ishgard trembled, the faith of her people shaken to its very core.
27 23 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03100_000240_EDMONT For a thousand years had they fought and died, certain of the justice of their cause, only to be told that their holy war was born of the sins of their forefathers.
28 24 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03100_000250_EDMONT What then, for those brave men and women, thus stripped of their righteousness, but to despair? To deny the truth and decry its speakers?
29 25 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03100_000260_EDMONT And what then for those whom they defamed but to hope on? To have faith in a brighter tomorrow?
30 26 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03100_000270_EDMONT A tomorrow in which man and dragon might live together in harmony─ then as distant as the very stars in the heavens...
31 27 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03100_000280_EDMONT Yet while we dared to hope, deep within his lair, the enemy lay gathering his strength.
32 28 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03100_000290_EDMONT Nidhogg, now possessed of his two eyes and the body of the Azure Dragoon─ prizes to which he had laid claim at the very hour of the heroes' triumph.
33 29 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03100_000300_EDMONT As desperately as we sought the solace of peace, the great wyrm craved the misery of war. Nor was he alone in this misbegotten desire...
34 30 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03100_000310_KRILE I am terribly, terribly sorry to have kept you all waiting!
35 31 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03100_000320_YSHTOLA You need not apologize. We arrived but a moment ago ourselves.
36 32 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03100_000330_YSHTOLA Pray allow me to introduce Krile, who is recently come from the Sharlayan motherland. She has generously offered to assist us.
37 33 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03100_000340_KRILE Oh please, think nothing of it! A trip to Eorzea was long overdue.
38 34 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03100_000350_KRILE You must be the Warrior of Light. Yes...you certainly do look the part. A pleasure to meet you at last, <If(PlayerParameter(4))>miss<Else/>sir</If>.
39 35 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03100_000360_KRILE And who is that I spy but young Alphinaud Leveilleur himself! I daresay someone's grown an ilm or two in my absence─or are those lifts in your boots?
40 36 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03100_000370_ALPHINAUD We, uh... Ahem. Miss Krile and I met at the Studium, years ago. I shall forever be indebted to her for her sage guidance.
41 37 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03100_000380_KRILE It was no small task keeping him out of trouble, believe you me! The youngest ever to enter the Studium─him and his sister, eleven-year-old prodigies.
42 38 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03100_000390_KRILE Suffice it to say, social graces were not among his list of talents! Striding up to his seniors on his first day, head held high─what was it he said again...?
43 39 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03100_000400_ALPHINAUD <Emphasis>Thank you</Emphasis>, Krile!
44 40 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03100_000410_KRILE For what? I haven't finished yet. Would you care to attempt a more dextrous deflection?
45 41 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03100_000420_ALPHINAUD Ahem... Mayhap we should save this delightful conversation for a more fitting occasion, when pressing matters do not demand our undivided attention.
46 42 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03100_000430_KRILE A bit much, but better. I can tell you have been putting your skills to use here in Eorzea. Henceforth, I trust you will dazzle me with your eloquence at the <Emphasis>first</Emphasis> time of asking.
47 43 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03100_000440_KRILE Right. On to more pressing matters─finding Minfilia and the other missing Scions!
48 44 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03100_000450_YSHTOLA I gather you have new information to share with us?
49 45 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03100_000460_KRILE A new approach, actually. Tataru recounted the tale of your escape, and it gave me an idea.
50 46 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03100_000470_KRILE Simply put, assuming Thancred left some manner of trail when you whisked him away─as is almost always the case with teleportation magicks─I am confident I can find and follow it.
51 47 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03100_000480_ALPHINAUD Then what are you waiting for!?
52 48 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03100_000490_KRILE The wherewithal to do it. The fact is, my abilities aren't quite up to the task. Not in themselves, anyway. If I had Master Matoya's Crystal Eye, on the other hand...
53 49 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03100_000500_YSHTOLA Then let us all call on her forthwith. I think it best that you explain your plan to her in person.
54 50 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03100_000510_MATOYA <sigh> Is that trouble I smell, or did you forget to wipe your boots on the way in?
55 51 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03100_000520_YSHTOLA Forgive us, Master Matoya. We will be sure to wipe them on the way out. And may I say how glad I am that age has not yet deprived you of your senses.
56 52 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03100_000530_MATOYA Ever so quick-witted, aren't we─to the detriment of your manners. Well, out with it then. What do you want?
57 53 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03100_000540_KRILE Pray allow me to introduce myself, Master Matoya. I am Krile, of the Students of Baldesion. I hope you will excuse our unannounced visit.
58 54 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03100_000550_MATOYA Baldesion, you say? Ah yes, the old coot set up shop on the Isle of Val, didn't he?
59 55 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03100_000560_KRILE Regrettably, our order's headquarters─and the isle itself─were obliterated by a magick of immense power. I have the blessing of Light to thank for my own preservation.
60 56 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03100_000570_ALPHINAUD Krile─you too possess the Echo!?
61 57 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03100_000580_KRILE Well yes, of course I do.
62 58 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03100_000590_KRILE Our order is devoted to uncovering the mysteries of Hydaelyn and interpreting Her will, particularly through the study of Her gift to us.
63 59 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03100_000600_KRILE It was in the course of these studies that I met and subsequently befriended Minfilia. She and I have rather a lot in common.
64 60 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03100_000610_ALPHINAUD I had no idea.
65 61 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03100_000620_KRILE You weren't supposed to. Not that I wanted to deceive you, you understand, but precautions had to be taken.
66 62 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03100_000630_MATOYA Yes, yes─that's all well and good, but you still haven't told me why you're here.
67 63 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03100_000640_KRILE The Students of Baldesion are gone, and there is naught I can do to change that. But the Scions of the Seventh Dawn can yet be restored and my dear friend found.
68 64 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03100_000650_KRILE You have in your possession an ancient Crystal of Light─one you call your “Crystal Eye.” I believe I can use it to focus my abilities and locate one of the missing Scions.
69 65 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03100_000660_MATOYA And there I was thinking you might want to make use of my <Emphasis>years of experience</Emphasis>... <sigh> Wait here.
70 66 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03100_000670_YSHTOLA Long did I ponder the nature of this crystal and its familiar radiance...but never did I suspect it was a Crystal of Light.
71 67 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03100_000680_KRILE On the cusp of an Umbral Calamity, souls blessed with the power of the Echo invariably appear.
72 68 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03100_000690_KRILE To aid these Her chosen warriors, Hydaelyn bequeaths to each a sliver of Her strength in the form of a Crystal of Light.
73 69 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03100_000700_KRILE But as Her strength wanes, so too does the potency of Her gifts. This crystal, born of an earlier era, is infused with a power far greater than those of this age.
74 70 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03100_000710_MATOYA You could travel the length and breadth of the land and not find a crystal even a fraction as pure. Its value is beyond measure─as are the risks inherent in its use.
75 71 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03100_000720_KRILE No two manifestations of the Echo are alike. I, for example, can converse with beings of every shape and size─excepting beasts, contrary to what others would have you believe. Language has nothing to do with it, of course; rather, I am sensitive to the whispers of the soul. Their intent, their very essence even─the traces of which served to guide the elementals to Y'shtola.
76 72 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03100_000730_KRILE Far-fetched though it may sound, I believe that with your Crystal Eye, I may be able to pick up where they left off and follow the remaining trail to Thancred. That is, if I have your permission...?
77 73 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03100_000740_MATOYA Well, the poor sod's not going to find himself. So, as long as you don't drop it or take it out of my sight, you may do with it what you will.
78 74 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03100_000750_KRILE Thank you, Master Matoya!
79 75 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03100_000760_KRILE Then let us begin.
80 76 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03100_000770_KRILE From the Black Shroud, the trail continues to the north and west...towards a mountain...the foot of Sohm Al.
81 77 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03100_000780_KRILE It was a near thing, but he was not deposited within the rock. I think.
82 78 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03100_000790_ALPHINAUD The hunters of Tailfeather know those lands well. I say we begin our search there!
83 79 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03100_000800_ALPHINAUD Who else could be... Thancred! It could be Thancred! We must hurry!

105 101 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03100_001020_KRILE Warriors of Darkness? ...Really?
106 102 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03100_001030_ALPHINAUD Thancred! Are you all right?
107 103 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03100_001040_THANCRED Pleasantries can wait. I'd rather not be here when the Gnath arrive. Agreed?
108 104 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03100_001050_YSHTOLA Suffice it to say, our reunion was not at all as I pictured it. Waiting until the last instant to join the fray. 'Tis plain you have not lost your appetite for the dramatic.
109 105 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03100_001060_THANCRED <Emphasis>My</Emphasis> appetite for the dramatic!? Have you forgotten the circumstances of our parting? The heroic last stand, the tunnel filling with light, and then... <sigh>
110 106 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03100_001070_THANCRED Had I known you intended to use forbidden magicks to deliver me to some godsforsaken wilderness...
111 107 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03100_001080_THANCRED ...I would have thanked you in advance.
112 108 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03100_001090_YSHTOLA Thancred...
113 109 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03100_001100_THANCRED If nothing else, you might have warned me that I would emerge from the Lifestream in the altogether.
114 110 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03100_001110_THANCRED Eventually, I managed to fashion knives from some obsidian I found, and set about hunting for meat and hides.
115 111 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03100_001120_THANCRED Given that I'm not all that skilled in leatherworking, it's probably for the best that I met the Vath before I was reunited with you.
116 112 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03100_001130_ALPHINAUD So <Emphasis>you</Emphasis> were the “fleshling clothed in skins” of whom the storyteller spoke.
117 113 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03100_001140_THANCRED A description which fit me as ill as the skins themselves. Happily, I was able to trade with the Vath for garments better becoming a man of refinement.
118 114 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03100_001150_THANCRED From them I learned of Ravana, and of the great warrior who had once laid him low.
119 115 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03100_001160_YSHTOLA And thence did you conclude that were you to track the primal's movements, it would surely bring you into contact with the Scions once more.
120 116 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03100_001170_THANCRED It seemed a reasonable assumption. I could think of no one else with your enthusiasm for slaying beastman gods. Until now, that is.
121 117 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03100_001180_ALPHINAUD Ah yes...the self-proclaimed “Warriors of Darkness.” 'Tis only fitting that they stand in opposition to the Warrior of Light, I suppose.
122 118 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03100_001190_KRILE I glimpsed the leader's past─if only for a moment. They were confronting a man in black. An Ascian, I think.
123 119 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03100_001200_ALPHINAUD If these warriors are capable of doing battle with Ascians and primals both, they must be possessed of powerful protection─protection not unlike the Echo...
124 120 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03100_001210_EDMONT Even as the Scions celebrated the return of a long-lost friend, honorable men plotted to deprive them of another.
125 121 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03100_001220_EDMONT Honorable men, to whom Ser Aymeric was no hero but a scheming patricide.
126 122 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03100_001230_EDMONT Honorable men, who would fain wash the paving stones of Foundation with the tyrant's blood.
127 123 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03100_001240_EDMONT Honorable men, whose knife in the dark was the spark which set the city aflame. And who sang as it burned.
128 124 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03100_001250_LUCIA I do not mean to diminish our accomplishments, but until we identify the ones who ordered the fires set, our work is far from finished.
129 125 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03100_001260_THANCRED Between the various conservative and religious factions in Ishgard, I daresay there is no shortage of parties who would like to see the status quo preserved. Do any likely suspects spring to mind?
130 126 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03100_001270_AYMERIC Far too many to count.
131 127 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03100_001280_LUCIA Lord Commander, your wounds!
132 128 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03100_001290_AYMERIC Are healing well, thank you.
133 129 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03100_001300_AYMERIC Time is of the essence. Lest we forget, these men would sooner put their own city to the torch than see it change.

135 131 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03100_001320_TEMPLERKNIGHT10810 Lord Commander! An armed mob has seized control of the Vault!
136 132 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03100_001330_AYMERIC And now we know. Tell us what happened, ser. Spare no detail.
137 133 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03100_001340_TEMPLERKNIGHT10810 We were directing refugees into the basilica, as you ordered, when all of a sudden, men brandishing weapons were all around us. It happened so fast, my lord. We had no time to respond.
138 134 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03100_001350_TEMPLERKNIGHT10810 They've taken the refugees hostage and barricaded themselves inside the Vault.
139 135 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03100_001360_AYMERIC And they sent you to deliver their demands.
140 136 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03100_001370_TEMPLERKNIGHT10810 They...the True Brothers of the Faith demand that a conclave to select the next archbishop be held forthwith. Furthermore, th-they declare that you, Lord Commander, are guilty of patricide and high treason, and that you must surrender yourself at once to receive of the Fury's judgment.
141 137 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03100_001380_LUCIA Ridiculous! Do they honestly think that executing Ser Aymeric will change anything? That the truth will somehow die with him?
142 138 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03100_001390_ARTOIREL These fundamentalists rage against the passing of the old ways, unable to accept there can be no going back.
143 139 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03100_001400_EDMONT Given the fanciful nature of their demands, a peaceful resolution does not seem likely. If the hostages are to be rescued, it will be by force, I fear.
144 140 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03100_001410_AYMERIC Agreed. Lucia, take a contingent of knights and establish a perimeter outside the entrance.
145 141 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03100_001420_LUCIA At once, Lord Commander!
146 142 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03100_001430_AYMERIC Hilda, I need your people out in force throughout the Brume. When word spreads of the situation, the friends and family of the hostages may try to take matters into their own hands. I will not give these militants more targets.
147 143 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03100_001440_AYMERIC I shall lead the assault on the Vault. Master Alphinaud, can I count on the support of the Scions?
148 144 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03100_001450_ALPHINAUD Of course!
149 145 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03100_001460_AYMERIC We are in your debt.
150 146 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03100_001470_ARTOIREL I shall join you as well, Lord Commander!

166 162 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03100_001630_AYMERIC Never did I think to be indebted to so unexpected a savior. But full glad am I to be so.
167 163 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03100_001640_VIDOFNIR Friend of Ysayle, warrior of warriors, I had hoped to meet with thee.
168 164 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03100_001650_VIDOFNIR I bear a message from my sire.
169 165 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03100_001660_AYMERIC From Hraesvelgr?
170 166 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03100_001670_VIDOFNIR Upon returning to our lands, Nidhogg's shade did sing unto his brood, and they for skies unknown did then take wing.
171 167 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03100_001680_VIDOFNIR This thou must know, for your fates are inextricably bound.
172 168 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03100_001690_ALPHINAUD What of Estinien? Is he truly lost to us?
173 169 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03100_001700_VIDOFNIR Such matters are beyond my ken. I but bear my father's words. Take from them what thou wilt.
174 170 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03100_001710_VIDOFNIR Fare you well, mortals.
175 171 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03100_001720_EDMONT So it is as they say, then. A great white dragon swooped down from the heavens to rescue an innocent child.
176 172 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03100_001730_AYMERIC A most unexpected turn of events...but not an unwelcome one. The people will not soon forget this day.
177 173 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03100_001740_EDMONT Yet how will they choose to remember it, Ser Aymeric? And will these events serve to bring man and dragon closer together, or drive a deeper wedge between brothers?
178 174 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03100_001750_EDMONT After a thousand years, the world these men once knew is changing─and with ungentle swiftness to boot. Though their actions are misguided, their sentiments are only to be expected. You may be sure that others will rally to their cause.
179 175 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03100_001760_EDMONT I share your desire for a lasting peace with the Dravanians, I do, but I would not see it built on the bones of our countrymen─nor on our own.
180 176 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03100_001770_EDMONT I see much of Haurchefant in you. And I could not bear to mourn the passing of another son.
181 177 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03100_001780_AYMERIC Lord Edmont...
182 178 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03100_001790_ALPHINAUD That Vidofnir should chance to arrive even as the girl fell... Truly, I could not have planned it better myself.
183 179 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03100_001800_ARTOIREL Ah, good. We were afraid you might have left.
184 180 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03100_001810_ALPHINAUD A shield, my lord?
185 181 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03100_001820_ARTOIREL Fit for a true knight. An expression of our gratitude to you and yours, long overdue.
186 182 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03100_001830_ARTOIREL ...But there is something else I would discuss ere you part. Something which cannot leave this room. My father will soon step down as head of our house.
187 183 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03100_001840_ARTOIREL Ser Aymeric was not the only one to fall under suspicion following the death of the archbishop. There are some who believe my father complicit in a coup d'etat.
188 184 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03100_001850_ARTOIREL Thus he intends to renounce his title to absolve our house of suspicion and secure the support of our peers.
189 185 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03100_001860_ALPHINAUD Surely there must be another way to convince houses Durendaire and Dzemael?
190 186 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03100_001870_ARTOIREL So I said to him. Alas, he will not budge.
191 187 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03100_001880_ARTOIREL Ever since I was a child, I knew that I would one day succeed my father, and the thought of it filled me with pride. Yet once I learned the day was at hand, my heart was filled with naught but dread.
192 188 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03100_001890_ARTOIREL Our legacy is built upon the lies of our forefathers. In accepting this title, am I not perpetuating this injustice? Why should I become the next count?
193 189 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03100_Q1_000_001 What will you say?
194 190 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03100_A1_000_001 A knight lives to serve.
195 191 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03100_A1_000_002 ...
196 192 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03100_001900_ARTOIREL You sound just like him. Aye, I suspect that is what Haurchefant would have said. “To aid those in need...”
197 193 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03100_001910_ARTOIREL ...But then I thought of my brother. “A knight lives to serve─to aid those in need.”
198 194 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03100_001920_ARTOIREL When you look on that shield, I trust you will remember his words. And should I once more find my resolve wavering, I ask that you show me the way.
199 195 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03100_001930_ARTOIREL You were a <If(PlayerParameter(4))>sister<Else/>brother</If> to Haurchefant. Will you be a <If(PlayerParameter(4))>sister<Else/>brother</If> to me as well?
200 196 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03100_001940_ARTOIREL Come, Emmanellain. There is much to be done. For Father, and for Ser Aymeric. And for Ishgard.
201 197 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03100_001950_ARTOIREL <sigh> To think we share the same blood... Pray excuse us.
202 198 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03100_001960_EDMONT Those were the days of promises and vows─of tentative first steps into an uncertain future.
203 199 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03100_001970_EDMONT A future shaped by the choices we made, in ways we could never have foreseen.
204 200 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03100_001980_EDMONT Born of good and evil, of light and darkness, and shepherded by our hand.
205 201 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03100_001990_EDMONT Be it for weal, or be it for woe.

4 0 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03200_000010_KRILE Well done, sir. And with that, I believe we are ready to proceed.
5 1 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03200_000020_THANCRED Let us be about our business then. The next patrol may not be so credulous.
6 2 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03200_000030_KRILE Why must you be so disappointingly brusque? You're not at all as Minfilia described, you know. I don't think you've favored me with so much as a single compliment since we set out.
7 3 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03200_000040_KRILE Tell me, did your time in the wilderness sap you of all your charm, or are you holding it in reserve for your beloved?
8 4 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03200_000050_THANCRED This is neither the time nor the place.
9 5 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03200_000060_KRILE Well, call me old-fashioned, but when I'm risking life and limb infiltrating an imperial castrum, I like to be sure of my comrades' motivations.
10 6 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03200_000070_THANCRED I see now where Alphinaud gets it from.
11 7 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03200_000080_THANCRED Minfilia is dear to me, it is true─but not in the way you think.
12 8 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03200_000090_THANCRED Fifteen years past, when she was still but a child, there was an incident at a parade. A goobbue broke free of its fetters and ran amok through the streets of Ul'dah. Had I been more attentive, I could have prevented it...but I was distracted, and her father was killed.
13 9 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03200_000100_THANCRED I feared she would never recover, but in the years that followed, she showed herself to be more resilient than I had ever imagined. And when she learned of her gift, she did not flinch from the responsibility, but sought to guide others on the path.
14 10 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03200_000110_THANCRED She touched the hearts of all around her. Mine, Louisoix's, every Scion's. In those dark days following the Calamity, she was our guiding light─our hope for a brighter future.
15 11 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03200_000120_THANCRED She had so many dreams...and I would give anything to make them come true.
16 12 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03200_000130_KRILE My apologies. I can see she means the world to you. I did not mean to pick at old scars.
17 13 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03200_000140_THANCRED No harm done, I assure you. But fair is fair, my lady─what is Minfilia to you?
18 14 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03200_000150_KRILE You mean you don't know? Only my dearest friend.
19 15 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03200_000160_KRILE When I finally emerged from my torpor, I learned that nary a day had passed without her asking after me. She never gave up hope.
20 16 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03200_000170_KRILE And neither will I.
21 17 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03200_000180_THANCRED Then for Minfilia's sake, let us pray that these vestiges of Hydaelyn's intervention will lead us to her.
22 18 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03200_000190_MINFILIA Hear... Feel... Think...
23 19 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03200_000200_MINFILIA (-???-)Through time and space hast thou journeyed unto me...as I knew thou wouldst.
24 20 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03200_000210_MINFILIA We are the Word of the Mother. We who were once called “Minfilia.”
25 21 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03200_000220_MINFILIA Much time hath passed for thee, since the bloody banquet. Since...since I hearkened to Her word.
26 22 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03200_000230_MINFILIA Mother... Hydaelyn guided me...towards Y'shtola and Thancred, that I might be swept up in their Flow...and delivered unto the aetherial sea...
27 23 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03200_000240_MINFILIA There, adrift and alone, Her voice silent once more, I prayed... For those we have lost. For those we can yet save. To Her I would make an offering...
28 24 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03200_000250_MINFILIA We speak now with one Voice. One Will. One Word. Unto thee we bequeath the most precious of gifts: the truth which lieth at the heart of this world.
29 25 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03200_000260_MINFILIA Thus do we beseech thee once more... Hear... Feel... Think...
30 26 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03200_000270_MINFILIA Before there was life, in the depths of the aetherial sea, Light and Dark did once dwell as one.
31 27 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03200_000280_MINFILIA But the Darkness coveted power, and the balance was broken. Thus was I forced to banish Him unto the distant heavens, to forever remain apart. A moon bound.
32 28 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03200_000290_MINFILIA In sundering the star did we cry out, and the barriers 'twixt planes chance to falter.
33 29 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03200_000300_MINFILIA Across ten and three were we then divided. Reflections of the Source, each possessed of a shard.
34 30 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03200_000310_MINFILIA Zodiark longeth to be made whole. For His restoration, for His resurrection, His servants labor without cease.
35 31 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03200_000320_MINFILIA They seek to tear down the barriers which surround the Source.
36 32 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03200_000330_MINFILIA Thus do they rejoice in their Ardor─in your calamities─for each marks a Rejoining.
37 33 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03200_000340_MINFILIA Seven times have they succeeded. Seven times hath the Darkness grown stronger. Seven times have I failed.
38 34 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03200_000350_MINFILIA The Ascians cannot be suffered to continue. This...this is my final...
39 35 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03200_000351_MINFILIA
40 36 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03200_000360_MINFILIA The Crystal's power is all but spent. With what remains, I will return you to the shore of the aetherial sea.
41 37 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03200_000370_MINFILIA Blessed children, go forth and seek...seek...
42 38 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03200_000380_ALPHINAUD Thank the Twelve!
43 39 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03200_000390_THANCRED Did you find her!? Did you find Minfilia!?
44 40 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03200_000400_ALPHINAUD The Word of the Mother...? I am not sure I understand.
45 41 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03200_000410_YSHTOLA Nor am I. Krile?
46 42 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03200_000420_KRILE As unbelievable as it sounds, I see no reason to doubt her─the Word's tale. No one was more sensitive to the will of Hydaelyn than Minfilia.
47 43 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03200_000430_KRILE And if Hydaelyn has grown so weak that She can barely make Herself heard, it is not hard to see why Minfilia, having joined with Her, might struggle to maintain her own form.
48 44 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03200_000440_ALPHINAUD <Emphasis>What</Emphasis>? Why would she need to “maintain her own form”? Are you saying─ Are you saying she's gone?
49 45 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03200_000450_ALPHINAUD But that cannot be! Not now, not after all we have accomplished! We were meant to usher in the dawn's light together!
50 46 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03200_000460_MATOYA She threw herself on the fire to fuel your “dawn's light,” boy. You'll just have to usher it in on your own.
51 47 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03200_000470_YSHTOLA Must you be so ungentle!?
52 48 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03200_000480_MATOYA Tell me about the Scions, boy.
53 49 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03200_000490_ALPHINAUD The...the Scions of the Seventh Dawn labor for Eorzea's salvation.
54 50 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03200_000500_ALPHINAUD Whenever the realm is threatened, be it by primal, Ascian, Garlean or any other, we take up arms in her defense, that all in Eorzea may live to see a brighter tomorrow.
55 51 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03200_000510_MATOYA And that's very noble of you. But in chasing after these lofty goals of yours, you seem to have lost sight of some basic truths.
56 52 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03200_000520_MATOYA To win a war, you must be willing to do whatever it takes. To fight, to kill, and, if necessary, to die.
57 53 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03200_000530_MATOYA The path you've chosen is paved with the dead. Walk it with your eyes open, or not at all.
58 54 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03200_000540_YSHTOLA I know the truth of which you speak, and have from the first.
59 55 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03200_000550_YSHTOLA If the Ascians will go to any lengths to resurrect their god, then we must needs be as committed to our cause─to unmask them and their schemes, and to crush them both utterly.
60 56 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03200_000560_YSHTOLA Come. There is much to be done.
61 57 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03200_000570_KRILE Y-Yes, of course.
62 58 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03200_000580_ALPHINAUD Thancred, wait!
63 59 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03200_000590_ALPHINAUD No... No, this is all wrong.
64 60 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03200_000600_AYMERIC A pleasure to see you again, my friend. I take it you received our invitation?
65 61 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03200_000610_AYMERIC Good, good... You of all people should be present.
66 62 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03200_000620_AYMERIC When the True Brothers of the Faith seized control of the Vault, I feared the worst.
67 63 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03200_000630_AYMERIC Yet in adversity were we blessed with the promise of peace between man and dragon, through Vidofnir's timely rescue of an innocent child. Timely, I say, though “miraculous” or “providential” might better describe the event. The gods themselves could not have devised a more fitting symbol of hope.
68 64 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03200_000640_AYMERIC Needless to say, we could scarce let such an opportunity pass us by, which is why I set about making formal arrangements for a peace conference between our peoples.
69 65 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03200_000650_AYMERIC You and yours have done more to bring us together than any, and it is only right that you attend.
70 66 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03200_000660_AYMERIC But, I confess, that is not the only reason I would be glad to have you there. Given Nidhogg's implacable opposition to the peace, it is possible that he and his followers may attempt to disrupt proceedings, in which event, your presence would be a comfort to all in attendance.
71 67 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03200_000670_AYMERIC Pray understand, I have no wish to invite the wyrm's ire, but if our fractured nation is to heal─if we are to move forward as a people united─then we must do whatever is necessary to bring about lasting change.
72 68 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03200_000680_AYMERIC 'Tis nothing, 'tis nothing. <sigh> Lucia cautioned me against giving vent to my passions, lest my wounds reopen.
73 69 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03200_000690_AYMERIC It has not been easy reaching out to our opponents in Ishgard, many of whom sympathized with the actions of the “True Brothers.” But in so doing, we have limited the influence of the zealots.
74 70 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03200_000700_AYMERIC The people are ready, my friend. This conference <Emphasis>must</Emphasis> go ahead!
75 71 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03200_000710_AYMERIC I knew you would understand.
76 72 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03200_000720_AYMERIC The conference will take place on the border of Ishgardian and Dravanian territory, in Falcon's Nest.
77 73 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03200_000730_AYMERIC Lucia is there seeing to the final preparations even as we speak. Pray join her at your earliest convenience─'twould not do for the guest of honor to arrive late, after all.
78 74 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03200_000740_AYMERIC Oh, and one more thing!
79 75 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03200_000750_AYMERIC A drink! We should make time for one. Once the conference is concluded, I mean. By my reckoning, 'tis long overdue.
80 76 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03200_000760_WAITRESS02236 Welcome, welcome! Find yourself an empty seat, and I'll be with you in a moment.
81 77 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03200_000770_WAITRESS02236 Cold out, en't it? Here─a mug on the house. Let's get some color back in them cheeks!
82 78 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03200_000780_WAITRESS02236 'Fraid food'll be a bit longer than usual. We've got a lot of hungry folk to feed what with the conference and all.
83 79 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03200_000790_WAITRESS02236 <sigh> So many people with cause to celebrate. To think there could be peace in our time, after all them years of fightin'...
84 80 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03200_000800_WAITRESS02236 When I heard about the conference, I knew I had to come. I knew I had to be here─to do my bit.
85 81 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03200_000810_WAITRESS02236 My husband, he...he died fighting the dragons, you see... And here we are, about to break bread with them.
86 82 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03200_000820_WAITRESS02236 You all right, my lover? You look tired. Reckon you could do with a good long rest.
87 83 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03200_000830_WAITRESS02236 After all you've done, I'd say you've <Emphasis>earned</Emphasis> it.
88 84 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03200_000840_WAITRESS02236 Sleep, now...sleeeeeep. Sleep and leave us to our affairs.
89 85 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03200_000850_WAITRESS02236 This was never your fight.
90 86 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03200_000860_OLDWOMAN02236 <sniffle> <sob>
91 87 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03200_000870_OLDWOMAN02236 My son, they...they told me he walks in Halone's halls. Him and the rest of his unit.
92 88 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03200_000880_WAITRESS02236 ...They told me the same.
93 89 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03200_000890_OLDWOMAN02236 I expect they think it's comforting.
94 90 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03200_000900_OLDWOMAN02236 Every time I come, I cry. I cannot bear to remember, but to forget would be a thousand times worse.
95 91 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03200_000910_OLDWOMAN02236 Yet that is what they would have us do. Accept this truth for the sake of peace. Bury the past and look to the future.
96 92 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03200_000920_OLDWOMAN02236 But <Emphasis>he</Emphasis> was my future. My flesh and blood─my heart...
97 93 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03200_000930_TRAITORB02236 Is this it? Are we the only ones with the courage to oppose this madness? Cowards, the lot of 'em!
98 94 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03200_000940_TRAITORC02236 They think only of the prize─of the peace Ser Aymeric promises them. They know in their hearts it's a lie, but they go along with it anyway, desperate fools. But not I. Not I!
99 95 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03200_000950_TRAITORC02236 I see the wyrm that killed my brother in my dreams every night! And I will not rest until he lies broken at my feet! Him and every last one of his accursed kin!
100 96 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03200_000960_TRAITORB02236 All this nonsense about kings of eld. As if I care what they did or didn't do! Makes no difference to me and mine! Have the dragons sued for peace in a thousand years? Have they bollocks!
101 97 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03200_000970_TRAITORB02236 It's a bloody ruse is what it is! And Ser Aymeric and the rest of 'em've bloody fallen for it!
102 98 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03200_000980_OLDWOMAN02236 But what can we do? They believe, and naught we can say will ever change their minds.
103 99 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03200_000990_OLDWOMAN02236 Whether we like it or not, man and dragon will come together at Falcon's Nest, and all will be forgiven. Forgiven and forgotten.
104 100 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03200_001000_WAITRESS02236 No. I will not let that happen.
105 101 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03200_001010_WAITRESS02236 They will remember the true face of the enemy. I will show it to them. And we will rise up against them once more!
106 102 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03200_001020_THANCRED Hey! Hey! This is no time for napping!
107 103 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03200_001030_THANCRED Do you have your wits about you? Good. Come with me─we have a crisis on our hands!
108 104 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03200_001040_WAITRESS02236 Hear me, brothers and sisters! Do not be fooled by the honeyed words of the Dravanians! The peace they promise is but a prelude to slaughter!
109 105 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03200_001050_WAITRESS02236 Remember your husbands and wives, never returned from war! Your children, torn apart by fang and claw! All your loved ones, shown no mercy!
110 106 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03200_001060_WAITRESS02236 Does not your heart cry out for vengeance!? Your blood boil at the injustice!? Remember the face of your enemy, brothers and sisters! Remember it and strike back!

114 110 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03200_001100_WAITRESS02236 See! See here the true nature of the highborn! With lies and deception they lead us to our doom, and dare we raise our voices in dissent─death is our reward!
115 111 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03200_001110_WAITRESS02236 This is the choice they have given us, brothers and sisters! Death by dragon's fang or death by nobleman's command! Death to all we hold dear!
116 112 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03200_001120_WAITRESS02236 I spit on your choices, nobleman! You will take no more from me... No more! NO MORE!
117 113 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03200_001130_EMMANELLAIN What have you done!?
118 114 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03200_001140_CAVALRY02236 I─ I only did as you ordered, my lord...
119 115 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03200_001150_EMMANELLAIN I gave no such order! I did not! I...I never meant for anyone to...

122 118 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03200_001180_HONOROIT Is that you, my lord? You...you seem rather flustered.
123 119 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03200_001190_EMMANELLAIN Because of you, you imbecile! What in the seven hells happened to you!?
124 120 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03200_001200_HONOROIT My...my apologies... Some few of the guests expressed a wish to leave...and I implored them to stay.
125 121 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03200_001210_HONOROIT It would seem they took issue with my request.
126 122 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03200_001220_EMMANELLAIN Gods forgive me... If I had only been more careful with my words!
127 123 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03200_001230_HONOROIT D-Do not blame yourself, my lord... I know... I know that you and your brother have Ishgard's best interests at heart.

139 135 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03200_001350_EMMANELLAIN Lord Commander, if I may. I wished to speak with you before the grand melee.
140 136 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03200_001360_AYMERIC Proceed.
141 137 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03200_001370_EMMANELLAIN How do you do it, my lord? How do you lead with such certainty when so many of our countrymen will not hear of peace with the Dravanians?
142 138 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03200_001380_EMMANELLAIN Some of them hate you almost as much as the dragons themselves. They decry you as a patricide in the streets. They even tried to kill you, for gods' sakes! Yet still you march on, undaunted, where no archbishop dared to tread. What is your secret? Where do you find the strength?
143 139 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03200_001390_AYMERIC For centuries, our nation has been punished for the sins of our forefathers.
144 140 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03200_001400_AYMERIC If our punishment is to end, I believe we must right the wrongs of antiquity and move forward as a nation united. Needless to say, my father did not share this opinion.
145 141 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03200_001410_AYMERIC He did not believe the people strong enough to bring about their own deliverance, trusting only in himself. Tyranny seemed to him the only solution.
146 142 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03200_001420_AYMERIC But I have faith in the people, Lord Emmanellain. I have faith that they will weather this storm, and overcome every trial we set before them.
147 143 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03200_001430_AYMERIC Many have fought and died to see this blight upon our nation's history cleansed, and I would not let their sacrifices be in vain. Though we invite reprisals, the risk is worth the reward.
148 144 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03200_001440_EMMANELLAIN I want to believe...I do...
149 145 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03200_001450_EMMANELLAIN Lord Commander─through my careless orders, a pall has been cast over these proceedings, and I beg the opportunity to make amends.
150 146 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03200_001460_EMMANELLAIN I, Emmanellain de Fortemps, do hereby request leave to take part in the grand melee!
151 147 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03200_001470_AYMERIC Who am I to deny such a heartfelt plea? We would be honored to have you join the fray, my lord.
152 148 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03200_001480_EDMONT You will take charge of the Ishgardian forces?
153 149 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03200_001490_AYMERIC For all my other responsibilities, I am still lord commander of the Temple Knights, and I would not soon yield this duty to another.
154 150 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03200_001500_EDMONT The esteemed Ser Aymeric, leading the Temple Knights and the watch into battle, along with my youngest. I could wish for no more.
155 151 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03200_001510_AYMERIC Then you wish for too little, my lord! There is another who might yet join the fray. An indispensable ally to whom we owe much and more.
156 152 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03200_001520_AYMERIC An adventurer beholden to none, who nevertheless chose to champion our cause. Who has shared in our suffering, and in our glory.
157 153 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03200_001530_AYMERIC A warrior without equal, whom I am privileged to call a friend. There is no one I would rather have fighting by my side.
158 154 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03200_001540_AYMERIC I ask this in full knowledge of your obligations, and will not think less of you should you refuse. But if your conscience will allow it, might you oblige me, my friend? One more time?
159 155 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03200_001550_AYMERIC Ha! Together, we shall give the people a spectacle for the ages─a celebration to mark the dawning of a new era!
160 156 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03200_001560_AYMERIC Let all here present heed well the rules of engagement!
161 157 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03200_001561_SYSTEM_000 The grand melee is a large-scale battle in which an allied company of Ul'dahn, Gridanian, and Lominsan forces will be pitted against a company of Ishgardian forces.
162 158 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03200_001561_SYSTEM_010 When a combatant is incapacitated, the opposing company will be awarded <Color(-34022)>tactical points</Color>.
163 159 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03200_001561_SYSTEM_020 The first company to attain the designated tactical rating of <Color(-34022)>100 points</Color> is declared the victor.
164 160 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03200_001561_SYSTEM_030 During the grand melee, officiants may mark certain combatants with the <Color(-34022)>Fury's Gaze</Color>, which will be indicated by an aetherial tether linking them to their company's flag.
165 161 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03200_001561_SYSTEM_040 While defeating most combatants will award your company 1 tactical point, defeating marked combatants will award your company 10 tactical points.
166 162 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03200_001561_SYSTEM_050 Marked combatants also possess enhanced attributes, rendering them more powerful and more difficult to defeat.
167 163 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03200_001561_SYSTEM_060 Defending and defeating these combatants is the key to victory!
168 164 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03200_001570_AYMERIC For the honor and the glory of Ishgard!
169 165 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03200_001580_NANAMOULNAMO All is ready, then. Very well.
170 166 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03200_001590_NANAMOULNAMO Brave men and women of the Eorzean Alliance. Let the grand melee begin!
171 167 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03200_001600_EMMANELLAIN Did...did <If(PlayerParameter(4))>she<Else/>he</If> win? Then we...we...
172 168 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03200_001610_AYMERIC Victory is ours! Ishgard! Ishgard!
173 169 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03200_001620_AYMERIC Well fought! Well fought, my friend! You truly are the warrior of warriors! Thank the Fury you were on our side!
174 170 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03200_001630_EMMANELLAIN Hah hah...my lungs are burning, and I can barely stand!
175 171 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03200_001640_EMMANELLAIN I didn't think I could do it...but then I did! We did! We faced the Alliance's best, and together, with one heart, with one purpose, we prevailed!
176 172 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03200_001650_EMMANELLAIN After a thousand years of hardship, of strife and bloodshed, we are strong enough to rise to any challenge─be it on the battlefield or beyond.
177 173 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03200_001660_EMMANELLAIN The future holds so much promise. So much joy. We need only show them the way.
178 174 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03200_001670_NANAMOULNAMO A truly magnificent display, ser knight. While doubtless less than pleased, I am quite sure the Grand Companies are <Emphasis>honored</Emphasis> to have been bested by such valiant warriors.
179 175 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03200_001680_AYMERIC The honor was ours, Your Grace.
180 176 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03200_001690_NANAMOULNAMO I am pleased to see that Ishgard's proud martial tradition is being upheld.
181 177 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03200_001700_NANAMOULNAMO When the time comes, I trust you will fight alongside your brothers and sisters in the Eorzean Alliance with the same fervor you displayed in opposing them.
182 178 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03200_001710_NANAMOULNAMO I note that our friend elected to take the field in Ishgardian colors.
183 179 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03200_001720_AYMERIC At my behest, Your Grace. If we have given offense, the blame lies with me.
184 180 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03200_001730_NANAMOULNAMO Fear not, ser knight. It was a surprise, nothing more. And any hint of ill-feeling was thoroughly dispelled by the spectacle of our mutual friend's duel with General Raubahn.
185 181 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03200_001740_NANAMOULNAMO On the subject of surprises, I could not help but marvel at the passion and unity of purpose displayed by your countrymen...given the troubling reports we have received of late.
186 182 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03200_001750_AYMERIC I shall take that as a compliment, Your Grace. The events to which you allude are the price of change. The end of the Dragonsong War marks the beginning of a new era for our nation─and for the <Emphasis>people</Emphasis>, high- and lowborn alike, who will lead her into the future.
187 183 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03200_001760_NANAMOULNAMO Ah, yes... The people.
188 184 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03200_001770_NANAMOULNAMO Change is indeed a perilous thing, for we who seek it and they who fear it. I shall pray for Ishgard─and for you.
189 185 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03200_001780_THANCRED Well, that made for a refreshing change. Congratulations on your victory, by the way.
190 186 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03200_001790_THANCRED The Ishgardians certainly seem happy with themselves. I, for my part, am merely glad you did not strain anything in the process of singlehandedly winning the battle for them.
191 187 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03200_001800_THANCRED <gasp>
192 188 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03200_001810_THANCRED 'Tis but a scratch, I assure you. And I will not suffer you to worry over me─not when we have a dozen far more important concerns.
193 189 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03200_001820_THANCRED ...Make that two dozen. Still, as Y'shtola never tires of telling me, we can but face them head-on, one at a time. One day at a time...as Minfilia would have done.
194 190 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03200_001830_HONOROIT (-???-)My lord!
195 191 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03200_001840_EMMANELLAIN Honoroit, my boy! Shouldn't you be in bed?
196 192 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03200_001850_HONOROIT Thank you for your concern, my lord, but I have largely recovered from my ordeal, and I have naught but several scars to show for it. Which, I have been told, some women may find...appealing.
197 193 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03200_001860_EMMANELLAIN I see! And to think I was worried sick over you!
198 194 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03200_001870_HONOROIT I'm not sure I understand, my lord.
199 195 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03200_001880_EMMANELLAIN Well, let's put that theory to the proof, shall we?
200 196 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03200_001890_HONOROIT M-M-My lord!?
201 197 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03200_001900_ALPHINAUD 'Twould seem that a great many things have occurred in my absence. I thought I might begin to make amends by welcoming you in person.
202 198 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03200_001910_EDMONT The messengers spared not their chocobos to bring us word of your victory in the grand melee. I cannot well describe our elation when we heard the news.
203 199 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03200_001920_EDMONT It called to mind the day we rejoined the Eorzean Alliance, when I glimpsed hope rekindled in the eyes of the people.
204 200 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03200_001930_LUCIA The Fury Herself ushers us into a new era. Ser Aymeric, the time is now!
205 201 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03200_001940_AYMERIC Aye, that it is. Reconvene the conference and summon Vidofnir to Falcon's Nest.
206 202 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03200_001950_AYMERIC We will make peace with Hraesvelgr's brood and hasten this bloody war to its end.

208 204 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03200_001970_EDMONT I will send word to Artoirel and bid him resume preparations.
209 205 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03200_001980_EDMONT Emmanellain─you will place yourself at your brother's disposal. He will be glad of your assistance.
210 206 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03200_001990_THANCRED No stopping it now, is there? We should inform Y'shtola and the others.
211 207 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03200_002000_AYMERIC My dear friend...I doubt I will ever be able to thank you enough. But when the conference is successfully concluded, I damn well mean to try.
212 208 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03200_002010_LUCIA The appointed hour approaches.

215 211 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03200_002040_AYMERIC Should I choose to deviate from my prepared remarks, I ask that you trust in my judgment.
216 212 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03200_002050_LUCIA Have I ever done otherwise?
217 213 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03200_002060_CITIZENA02240 Look!

219 215 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03200_002080_VIDOFNIR Ah, how long it hath been since our peoples met thus, children of Thordan. Even by our reckoning.
220 216 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03200_002090_AYMERIC Vidofnir, daughter of Hraesvelgr, we give thanks for your visit and bid you welcome to Falcon's Nest.
221 217 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03200_002100_VIDOFNIR Our sire bade us hearken unto the whispers of our hearts. They spoke to us of a paradise lost─of bonds of brotherhood which they yearn to see restored.
222 218 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03200_002110_AYMERIC Ours too yearn for such a restoration. And they have guided us here this day, that they might yearn no longer.
223 219 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03200_002120_AYMERIC Brothers and sisters, ye who stand as witness, hearken to me!
224 220 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03200_002130_AYMERIC Since the days of eld, when the bonds betwixt man and dragon were sundered by our hand, our peoples have known only war.
225 221 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03200_002140_AYMERIC Bloodshed without end, losses beyond counting─and still we fought. And still we fought.
226 222 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03200_002150_AYMERIC Some wounds do not heal. The dead cannot be returned to us.
227 223 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03200_002160_AYMERIC But we the living can yet choose another course. Here and now, we can lay down this burden─this hatred, this vengeance.
228 224 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03200_002170_AYMERIC Our forebears fought not so that we could die, but that we might live! So let us honor their sacrifice and spare our children this death sentence. Let us gift them a new legacy. Life!
229 225 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03200_002180_VIDOFNIR Betwixt our peoples yawneth a divide deeper than the deepest abyss; wider than the widest sea.
230 226 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03200_002190_VIDOFNIR Generations will live and die ere this divide is bridged. Knowing this, doth thy heart yet yearn for peace, son of Thordan?
231 227 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03200_002200_AYMERIC Look now on the legacy we would leave to our children. A dream of peace inscribed in stone for generations to come.
232 228 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03200_002210_VIDOFNIR Father and his beloved. As they were so long ago. Happy and at peace.

252 248 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03200_002380_KRILE Even before his transformation, I could feel the wyrm's hatred swirling about Estinien. The terrible, all-consuming rage...
253 249 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03200_002390_KRILE Enough to fuel a thousand-year quest for vengeance. It was all I could do not to run away screaming.
254 250 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03200_002400_KRILE But Ishgardians─nay, all Eorzeans─are made of sterner stuff. They face danger and death on a daily basis, and understand what it takes to win a war.
255 251 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03200_002410_YSHTOLA Think not too deeply on Master Matoya's words. Her intent was but to steel our resolve.
256 252 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03200_002420_YSHTOLA That, and to remind us to look beyond these passing conflicts to trials greater still─to the truth which hides at the heart of this world.
257 253 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03200_002430_KRILE So that's your aim, is it?
258 254 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03200_002440_YSHTOLA You disapprove?
259 255 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03200_002450_KRILE Not at all! I believe it's traditional for the student to follow in the footsteps of the master. And you are so very alike.
260 256 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03200_002460_ALPHINAUD Forgive me. That took longer than expected.
261 257 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03200_002470_ALPHINAUD ...You seem puzzled. Oh, these? I thought something warming might not go amiss.
262 258 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03200_002480_ALPHINAUD It was not all that long ago that we sat here, you and I. In our very own “Falling Snows,” as Lord Haurchefant called it.
263 259 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03200_002490_ALPHINAUD I still struggle to believe he has gone. And Ysayle too... I had such hopes for her...
264 260 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03200_002500_ALPHINAUD Master Matoya asked me what it was all for. Why we fight...and why we die.
265 261 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03200_002510_ALPHINAUD Were I still commander of the Braves, I would doubtless have replied, “For the future of Eorzea,” but I am not that man. Not anymore.
266 262 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03200_002520_ALPHINAUD I needed a new answer. One that I could live with. And when I saw Estinien at the ceremony, I knew at last what it was.
267 263 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03200_002530_ALPHINAUD I do not want to be a man who sacrifices his friends and family for a cause. I want to fight for Estinien─and I want to save him.
268 264 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03200_002540_ALPHINAUD When Nidhogg leads the Horde into battle, Ser Aymeric and his forces will do what they believe must be done.
269 265 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03200_002550_ALPHINAUD That is their choice to make. Yet even if Ser Aymeric is willing to forsake Estinien, I am not.
270 266 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03200_002560_ALPHINAUD We must fight for him, for he is our friend and ally. We may struggle, we may fail, but we must try.
271 267 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03200_Q1_000_001 What will you say?
272 268 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03200_A1_000_001 We will find a way to save him.

5 1 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03300_000020_KRILE Not to worry, Alphinaud. We had some rather fine mulled wine to keep us company. Truth be told, you could have delayed your arrival a few moments more...
6 2 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03300_000030_TATARU Gibrillont got the spicing just right this time. His latest batch is not only delicious and warming, but <Emphasis>soothing to the humours</Emphasis>!
7 3 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03300_000040_YSHTOLA Indeed. But 'twas not to soothe our humours that we gathered here.
8 4 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03300_000050_KRILE Ah, no─quite right. The matter of that poor dragoon...
9 5 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03300_000060_ALPHINAUD You have discovered something─a means to save him?
10 6 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03300_000070_KRILE Let us not jump to conclusions, shall we? Assess the facts presented, then make an educated analysis, as you were taught.
11 7 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03300_000080_YSHTOLA Pray cast your mind back to the moment of Estinien's transformation. Do you recall how you described it to us?
12 8 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03300_000090_YSHTOLA You spoke of the sudden pangs which racked his body when he took up both of Nidhogg's eyes─and of how his form was twisted thereafter into a shadowy semblance of the great wyrm.
13 9 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03300_000100_ALPHINAUD When he appeared at Falcon's Nest, the wyrm's eyes were fused to his mail.
14 10 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03300_000110_YSHTOLA Would that only his armor had been corrupted... Snaking forth from the eyes, I descried dark tendrils which entangled his very being. His aether has been all but smothered.
15 11 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03300_000120_ALPHINAUD Then he is lost to us forever?
16 12 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03300_000130_KRILE What did I just say about jumping to conclusions!? Y'shtola clearly stated “all but smothered.”
17 13 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03300_000140_KRILE As I later discovered, her impression matched my own. Though Nidhogg's presence filled my mind's eye, beneath his seething aura, I sensed the merest hint of something else.
18 14 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03300_000150_KRILE And after listening to Y'shtola's observations, I became more certain of my suspicion: that the “something else” I had sensed was, in fact, the trace of a different will, submerged in the sea of Nidhogg's rage.
19 15 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03300_000160_ALPHINAUD You mean...
20 16 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03300_000170_YSHTOLA Yes. 'Tis like that Estinien's spirit yet lingers.
21 17 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03300_000180_ALPHINAUD Can we not wrest him from Nidhogg's grasp, then!? Tear the eyes from the armor!?
22 18 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03300_000190_YSHTOLA We know not if that would serve to separate wyrm's soul from man's. None have ever attempted such a feat.
23 19 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03300_000200_ALPHINAUD Should it offer even the faintest hope of success, then by the gods, I shall be the first to try.
24 20 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03300_000210_KRILE Alphinaud...
25 21 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03300_000220_KRILE By all means, hold fast to your hope. But be mindful of the dangers.
26 22 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03300_000230_KRILE Even should you succeed in excising the eyes from the dragoon's mail, we have no way of knowing if your friend's soul would survive so violent a separation. And that is to say nothing of the possibility that his would-be savior might become Nidhogg's next host.
27 23 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03300_000240_ALPHINAUD But what other choice remains to us? Should the opportunity present itself, I will tear those foul orbs from Estinien's armor and trust in the resilience of his soul─even at the risk of mine own!

29 25 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03300_000260_HONOROIT A messenger of the Temple Knights came to the manor some few hours past. The lord commander humbly requests the company of the Warrior of Light and Master Alphinaud.
30 26 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03300_000270_ALPHINAUD Ser Aymeric would speak with us? Very well. Thank you, Honoroit.

34 30 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03300_000310_KRILE Alphinaud is allowing his feelings for this dragoon to cloud his thoughts. I worry he may do something rash. Keep an eye on him, would you?
35 31 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03300_000320_MIDGARDSORMR They think more of their friend's deliverance than their foe's defeat... But will history commend their fealty or condemn their folly?
36 32 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03300_000330_EDMONT The conference held at Falcon's Nest was to be a celebration of the reconciliation 'twixt man and dragon.
37 33 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03300_000340_EDMONT But the lingering shade of Nidhogg, clad in the flesh of the Azure Dragoon, did mark the occasion by spilling the blood of his own kind.
38 34 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03300_000350_EDMONT A timely atrocity to remind the children of Ishgard that the Dragonsong War was far from over...
39 35 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03300_000360_EDMONT And when fear gave way to fury, the call to arms rang out anew: “Death to Nidhogg! Death to Nidhogg!”
40 36 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03300_000370_AYMERIC My friends, I thank you for coming.
41 37 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03300_000380_ALPHINAUD You have had news of Nidhogg?
42 38 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03300_000390_AYMERIC Alas, not. Our scouts range far and wide, but they have as yet found no trace of the great wyrm.
43 39 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03300_000400_LUCIA We dispatched an elite unit of dragoons to reconnoiter the Churning Mists, but even they returned empty-handed.
44 40 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03300_000410_ALPHINAUD A pity...
45 41 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03300_000420_AYMERIC Fear not, Alphinaud─we shall see the wyrm again soon enough. His words at Falcon's Nest attest to that.
46 42 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03300_000430_AYMERIC Indeed, he is like to come sooner than we would wish.
47 43 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03300_000440_ALPHINAUD I assume Ishgard's defenses are being bolstered as we speak?
48 44 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03300_000450_AYMERIC With all haste. I mean to call upon every able-bodied warrior at our disposal, from the knights of the four houses to the men and women of the watch.
49 45 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03300_000460_AYMERIC But I did not summon you to discuss strategy.
50 46 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03300_000470_ALPHINAUD What then would you have of us, my lord?
51 47 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03300_000480_AYMERIC I will speak plain: now that Nidhogg is possessed of both of his eyes, no mortal force we can muster will repel him. That being the case, we must needs recruit an ally of equal strength...
52 48 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03300_000490_ALPHINAUD You speak of Hraesvelgr!?
53 49 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03300_000500_AYMERIC I do. To whom else could we turn?
54 50 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03300_000510_ALPHINAUD That he is Nidhogg's equal I do not deny. Nor can I name another. But convincing the reclusive creature to do battle with his own brood-brother will be... How shall I put this?
55 51 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03300_000520_AYMERIC It will be no small undertaking, yes. Estinien's report was most particular about Hraesvelgr's unwillingness to involve himself in the affairs of men.
56 52 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03300_000530_AYMERIC But much has changed since your visit to Sohm Al, and if there is even a chance that the dragon may be swayed, I <Emphasis>must</Emphasis> plead our case. Whatever price the dragon asks of me, I shall pay it─such was my oath to defend the people of Ishgard.
57 53 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03300_000540_AYMERIC Come what may, my friends, the battle with Nidhogg will mark the end of my tenure as the acting head of church and state. Will you help me discharge this final duty?
58 54 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03300_000550_ALPHINAUD We will, my lord─though I fear our involvement offers no guarantee of success.
59 55 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03300_000560_ALPHINAUD Come, then─we will depart at your leisure.
60 56 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03300_000570_AYMERIC Thank you. Both of you.
61 57 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03300_000580_AYMERIC The city is yours, First Commander.
62 58 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03300_000590_LUCIA My lord. We shall pray for your swift return.
63 59 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03300_000600_HRAESVELGR You dare summon me again, mortals?
64 60 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03300_000610_ALPHINAUD Great Hraesvelgr, 'tis not lightly that we beg this audience. Pray hearken to our words, for they concern the future of man and dragon both.
65 61 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03300_000620_AYMERIC Greetings, Hraesvelgr. I am Aymeric de Borel, acting ruler of the nation of Ishgard.
66 62 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03300_000630_AYMERIC I am come before you to parley on behalf of my people.
67 63 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03300_000640_HRAESVELGR ...To <Emphasis>parley</Emphasis>? Thinkest thou thy purpose unclear to me? Thou art come to beg mine aid in the battle against the shade of my brood-brother.
68 64 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03300_000650_AYMERIC You...foresaw mine intent.
69 65 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03300_000660_HRAESVELGR I but read that which is writ plain in thine eyes. Would that thou had wit enough to scry the answer in mine.
70 66 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03300_000670_HRAESVELGR My beloved Shiva did once build a bridge 'twixt man and dragon─a bridge which thy treacherous forefathers saw fit to tear down, as thou well knowest.
71 67 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03300_000680_HRAESVELGR Thinkest thou Nidhogg was alone in despairing at the murder of our brood-sister? Thinkest thou mine own soul did not cry out for vengeance? Know then that upon that accursed day, my heart did wither in my breast, and thy kind become unto me the harbingers of despair.
72 68 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03300_000690_HRAESVELGR 'Tis only Shiva's gentle dream that preventeth me from flying at Nidhogg's shoulder. Be grateful that I swore to abjure aggression ere I consumed her.
73 69 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03300_000700_HRAESVELGR I permit my children to offer or deny thee aid as they see fit; to warn thy people of my brood-brother's coming. That thou wouldst dare ask more of me but affirmeth thine incurable arrogance.
74 70 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03300_000710_ALPHINAUD We understand that in your despair at man's betrayal, you seek only the refuge of solitude.
75 71 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03300_000720_ALPHINAUD But despite your protestations of spent faith, do you not still nurture the smallest flame of hope?
76 72 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03300_000730_HRAESVELGR Perceivest thou such light in the dusk of mine existence?
77 73 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03300_000740_ALPHINAUD I do. If you claim I see falsely, then tell me: why did you consent to bear Ysayle upon your back?
78 74 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03300_000750_HRAESVELGR Ysayle... Piteous, deluded Ysayle. The child did lament her past sins, and sought to balance the scales with her remaining days. 'Twas her unquenchable passion, so alike to that of my beloved, which did spur me into flight.
79 75 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03300_000760_HRAESVELGR And for mine own part, I would countenance no longer the hands of evil men to use my brood-brother's eye for ill.
80 76 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03300_000770_ALPHINAUD So you do distinguish between those who acknowledge and repent their sins, and those who perpetuate them. Interesting.
81 77 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03300_000780_ALPHINAUD It seems to me that you have not, in fact, lost faith in mankind as a whole. Rather, you weigh our respective merits by how we allow the past to influence our future.
82 78 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03300_000790_HRAESVELGR Spare me thine idle sophistry. Even were there a mote of truth in thy reasoning, what of it? Wouldst thou have me slay mine own sibling to save a city of mortals?
83 79 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03300_000800_AYMERIC Should we suffer ties of blood to bind our hands then? Nay. If the crime is one of unconscionable evil, we must needs condemn it─even should the transgressor be our closest kin.
84 80 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03300_000810_AYMERIC When my father corrupted himself and his followers with the power of a primal, I beseeched the Warrior of Light to slay him─an act alike to patricide.
85 81 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03300_000820_AYMERIC That he did not die by my hand matters little─if anything, it heaps greater disgrace upon my name. But had my father not fallen, he would have drawn countless thousands into a holy war of hellish proportions─which I hold the greater crime. Thus did I order his execution, sparing the lives of my people and yours.
86 82 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03300_000830_AYMERIC Alas, your brother wyrm now prepares to murder those whom I sought to spare. What is more, he has taken my comrade's body for his own─but if I must slay my dearest friend to defeat my direst foe, I will not flinch from my duty!
87 83 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03300_000840_HRAESVELGR Thou wouldst strike down thy friend and, by example of thy righteousness, persuade me to break mine oath and kill my kindred?
88 84 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03300_000850_MIDGARDSORMR Heed me, my child. The servants of Hydaelyn envision a different outcome. They intend salvation not only for Ishgard, but for the doomed dragonslayer as well.
89 85 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03300_000860_MIDGARDSORMR Believest thou this shade to be Nidhogg returned? Is it not merely a manifestation of his vengeance─the shadow cast by thy brood-brother's rage? I would not command thee, but ponder well thy course lest it lead thee unto greater remorse...
90 86 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03300_Q1_000_001 What will you say?
91 87 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03300_A1_000_001 While this shade of vengeance remains, the future will ever be uncertain.
92 88 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03300_A1_000_002 Help us save our companion.
93 89 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03300_A1_000_003 ...
94 90 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03300_000870_HRAESVELGR Nidhogg's transformation into rage incarnate is, in part, of mine own doing. I rendered unto him mine eye, and empowered his revenge thereby... But 'tis the purity of my brood-brother's wrath that lendeth him his all-surpassing might.
95 91 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03300_000880_HRAESVELGR Thou wishest to rescue the dragoon from his fate along with all the rest? I do begin to see why Ysayle entrusted her hope unto thee. Thy purpose is pure. ...But so too is my brood-brother's wrath, and 'tis that which lendeth him his all-surpassing might.
96 92 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03300_000890_HRAESVELGR What, no words for me, warrior? I take it thou art resolved to act whether I aid thee or no... Ha! I do admire thy determination.

99 95 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03300_000920_HRAESVELGR Even bereft of an eye, my brood-brother was a fearsome foe indeed.
100 96 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03300_000930_HRAESVELGR But having tasted thy strength firsthand, full well can I imagine how thou didst bring him low. The dread title of “Azure Dragoon” is no empty appellation.

102 98 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03300_000950_HRAESVELGR Very well. I shall trust in the seed of man one last time. By thy deeds shall the flickering hope that lingereth yet within my heart be kindled anew...or extinguished forever.
103 99 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03300_000960_ALPHINAUD Your trial is ended as well, then?
104 100 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03300_000970_AYMERIC Mine was brutal beyond reckoning. Vedrfolnir seems ill acquainted with the notion of “mock” battles...
105 101 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03300_000980_HRAESVELGR That you yet stand is ready proof of your determination, mortals.
106 102 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03300_000990_HRAESVELGR Let us fight as allies, then, and together banish my brood-brother's vengeful shade. On my oath, the wrath that once was Nidhogg shall meet its end!
107 103 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03300_001000_HRAESVELGR This I swear on the memory of my beloved Shiva, and on the soul of lost Ysayle...
108 104 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03300_001010_ALPHINAUD Our negotiations proved rather more strenuous than I had anticipated, but the results seem well worth the effort.
109 105 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03300_001020_AYMERIC The battle was indeed hard-won. Thank you, my friends─I would never have earned Hraesvelgr's cooperation had you not seen fit to grant me yours.
110 106 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03300_001030_AYMERIC 'Twas your stalwart heroism that moved the heart of the great wyrm at the last. Any gratitude I can offer is but poor reward for your continued service to Ishgard.

128 124 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03300_001210_HRAESVELGR Thou darest speak thus of my beloved!?
129 125 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03300_001220_NIDHOGG Ah! So the flames of rage may yet be kindled! I feared thy heart's fire had long since gone out. But waste not thy fury on words, Brother─thou shalt have need of it for the battle!

131 127 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03300_001240_NIDHOGG Thou art weak, Hraesvelgr─a slithering wyrm who fawneth on the vermin who should rightly be his prey. For a thousand years have I fought without cease─and thou didst think to prevail against me!

155 151 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03300_001480_HRAESVELGR The Horde have sensed the fall of their master, and scattered to the winds.
156 152 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03300_001490_AYMERIC You have my gratitude, Hraesvelgr. Your deeds this day have saved a great many lives.
157 153 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03300_001500_HRAESVELGR Then our alliance hath served its purpose.
158 154 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03300_001510_HRAESVELGR Thou didst wield the power I granted thee well. 'Twas thine own skill and not mine eye which earned thee victory.
159 155 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03300_001520_HRAESVELGR I wish thy companion a swift recovery. Fare you well, children of man.
160 156 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03300_001530_ALPHINAUD The battle is won. We can do no more for Estinien now than bear him home and wish him well, even as Hraesvelgr did. The rest we must trust to the hands of the healers and the grace of the gods.

162 158 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03300_001550_ALPHINAUD We but did our duty, my lord. It was the memories of fallen friends and not our heroism which saw us through at the last.
163 159 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03300_001560_ARTOIREL I gave every onze of my strength, but mine efforts would have counted for naught had the Warrior of Light not arrived to challenge the great wyrm. As a sworn knight of Ishgard, I had hoped to do more for my city...
164 160 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03300_001570_EMMANELLAIN Well, we cannot <Emphasis>all</Emphasis> be heroes, dear brother. Let us put away our pride for a moment, and revel in the valiant deeds of our comrade! For your sterling service to Ishgard, we salute you!
165 161 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03300_001580_EMMANELLAIN And while we're on the subject of valiant deeds, I believe I myself have earned some small measure of recognition: under my watchful command, the ballistas of the outer ward struck down a veritable swarm of Dravanian invaders.
166 162 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03300_001590_HONOROIT My lord's command was certainly watchful. He bravely watched as the siege crews took aim, and continued to watch as countless wyverns met their end. Indeed, the ward's defenders proved so well-drilled that my lord had little occasion to <Emphasis>stop</Emphasis> watching.
167 163 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03300_001600_EDMONT There will be time enough to determine who is most deserving of recognition later. Our friends are doubtless weary from their exertions.
168 164 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03300_001610_EDMONT I had chambers prepared in expectation of your return. You are welcome to retire at your leisure.
169 165 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03300_001620_ALPHINAUD I am most grateful for your hospitality, my lord, but I believe I shall pay a visit to the Temple Knights' infirmary. Pray excuse me.
170 166 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03300_001630_EDMONT How Master Alphinaud has grown. The plight of his stricken brother-in-arms pains him more than his own hurts.
171 167 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03300_001640_EDMONT ...In which respect, he has come to resemble you, Warrior of Light. Go then─visit the Azure Dragoon, and grant him what comfort you may.
172 168 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03300_001650_ALPHINAUD Oh... Estinien...
173 169 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03300_001660_ESTINIEN Cease your mewling, boy. It grates my ears.
174 170 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03300_001670_ALPHINAUD Forgive me. When I saw you awaken, I could not─ It was such a relief! We feared you might never wake up!
175 171 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03300_001680_AYMERIC Now, now, Estinien. If Master Alphinaud thought any less of you, you would still be Nidhogg's plaything─<Emphasis>or dead</Emphasis>.
176 172 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03300_001690_ESTINIEN Aye, aye. 'Twas but a jest.
177 173 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03300_001700_ESTINIEN I thank you, Alphinaud...and you too, Warrior of Light. Quite how you managed to persuade Hraesvelgr to aid in his brood-brother's downfall, I cannot imagine─but full glad am I that you did. 'Tis an honor to share the mantle of Azure Dragoon with one such as you.
178 174 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03300_001710_ESTINIEN I thank you, Alphinaud...and you too, Warrior of Light. Quite how you managed to persuade Hraesvelgr to aid in his brood-brother's downfall, I cannot imagine─but full glad am I that you did. Yet again, you have achieved the impossible.
179 175 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03300_001720_AYMERIC I for my part owe you an apology. When last we met, I did willingly loose an arrow at your heart. Can you forgive me?
180 176 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03300_001730_ESTINIEN There is naught to forgive, Aymeric. You but acted in defense of Ishgard, as is your duty.
181 177 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03300_001740_ESTINIEN Were you any less single-minded about it, I would not follow you into battle─nor trust you at my back.
182 178 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03300_001750_ESTINIEN Besides, I had come to the selfsame conclusion─that I would have to perish for Nidhogg to be stopped. So let us dispense with the hand-wringing. I have heard enough mewling for one day.
183 179 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03300_001760_ALPHINAUD Oh!
184 180 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03300_001770_ESTINIEN The tendrils of Nidhogg's foul presence bound up every fiber of my being, usurping my senses, but I yet retained some trace of awareness.
185 181 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03300_001780_ESTINIEN The wyrm's mind was as a vast and tumultuous sea. Endlessly its black waters churned, his grief and despair at Ratatoskr's murder never calming, never receding. And driven by this surging current came wave upon wave of unrelenting rancor.
186 182 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03300_001790_ESTINIEN It was the very image of my own heart. There I saw the dark reflection of the hatred I felt after Nidhogg slew my family, when no path remained save vengeance against dragonkind.
187 183 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03300_001800_ESTINIEN Neither one of us had a choice. But I was blessed with something Nidhogg was not─comrades and teachers to console and admonish me.
188 184 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03300_001810_ESTINIEN Had I not had them to gainsay my obsession, it would surely have consumed me, as Nidhogg's did him, and we would have been in all respects alike.
189 185 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03300_001820_ESTINIEN Though his shade is banished, his spirit scattered upon the Sea of Clouds, I feel no joy at his passing. Where once I craved vengeance, I now crave rest.
190 186 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03300_001830_ESTINIEN Lord Commander, my hunt is at an end. I would lay down the mantle of Azure Dragoon.
191 187 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03300_001840_AYMERIC My friend...
192 188 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03300_001850_ABEL He has tired himself with too many words.
193 189 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03300_001860_ABEL I doubt not that he will make a full recovery, but he must be allowed some few days of quiet.
194 190 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03300_001870_AYMERIC I too must see my path to its end. Sleep well, my friend.
195 191 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03300_001880_EDMONT Following the battle with Nidhogg on the Steps of Faith, Ser Aymeric called an assembly that he might make his final proclamation as acting head of state.
196 192 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03300_001890_EDMONT 'Twas there, with one decree, that the thousand-year rule of the archbishops was ended, paving the way for a new republic.
197 193 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03300_001900_EDMONT The governance of Ishgard would now be placed in the hands of high- and lowborn alike, their ranks represented by the newly founded House of Lords and House of Commons.
198 194 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03300_001910_EDMONT Church was separated from state. The foundation for change had been carefully laid, and the reforms proposed by Ishgard's new government passed into law without incident.
199 195 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03300_001920_EDMONT His duty done, Aymeric de Borel gladly stepped down from the archbishop's dais... only to be raised unto the highest seat in the House of Lords.
200 196 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03300_001930_EDMONT Though he strove at first to refuse this honor, the unexpectedly strident voice of the Count de Durendaire left him little choice but to accept...
201 197 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03300_001940_EDMONT And so it was that the winds of gentle revolution came to stir.
202 198 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03300_001950_EDMONT Prominent among the many honored guests at Ser Aymeric's investiture were the ambassadors of dragonkind, a fitting symbol of Ishgard's newfound peace.
203 199 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03300_001960_EDMONT The people looked on in awe as he soared through the heavens on dragonback, and by their cheers did they hail him an Azure Dragoon for a new age.
204 200 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03300_001970_EDMONT Thus were the notes of the Dragonsong rewritten, the din of war giving way to a rising litany of peace and hope.

5 1 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03400_000020_AYMERIC I must say, your spirited accounts always come as a welcome change from the arid reports which fill my days.
6 2 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03400_000030_AYMERIC Though I have lived in these lands my entire life, to hear you speak of them, there is much and more I have yet to see. Truly, yours was a marvelous journey.
7 3 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03400_Q1_000_001_NONE_VOICE What will you say?
8 4 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03400_A1_000_001_NONE_VOICE Though perhaps a bit long for my liking.
9 5 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03400_A1_000_002_NONE_VOICE Why not join me on the next?
10 6 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03400_A1_000_003_NONE_VOICE It wasn't all sunshine and lemoncakes.
11 7 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03400_000040_AYMERIC Long <Emphasis>and</Emphasis> arduous, aye. Not unlike the journey that Ishgard has at last embarked upon─thanks to the efforts of you and yours.
12 8 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03400_000050_AYMERIC Hah! Well...truth be told, when I think back on the sweeping vistas of the Churning Mists, I do feel some slight pangs of wanderlust...
13 9 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03400_000060_AYMERIC Alas, much as I would like to accept your invitation, I fear my present duties with the House of Lords demand my undivided attention. Someday, perhaps.
14 10 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03400_000070_AYMERIC Nor would I presume to imply otherwise. Neither I nor any man alive can truly understand what you have endured, and I cannot say with any confidence that I would have acquitted myself as well under the circumstances─much less grown stronger for it.
15 11 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03400_000080_AYMERIC By your deeds, you have helped us to lay the foundation for lasting reform.
16 12 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03400_000090_AYMERIC The formation of the republic is but the beginning, for it is not only our system of governance which must needs change. We the people must learn to let go of our hatreds and rise above our bloody past.
17 13 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03400_000100_AYMERIC I only pray that I live long enough to see us achieve some measure of success─that I might know the lost did not die in vain.
18 14 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03400_000110_AYMERIC I can still see you there, on the Steps of Faith, striding fearlessly towards the wyrm... If you could do that, who are we to balk at the challenges ahead?
19 15 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03400_000120_AYMERIC The question of how best to strengthen ties with the other great nations of Eorzea has been debated at length in the Lords and Commons of late.
20 16 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03400_000130_AYMERIC As you may imagine, maintaining stability during this period of historic upheaval is our paramount concern. Nevertheless, we are greatly indebted to the Alliance for their support during the grand melee, and it would be remiss of us not to repay their faith in kind.
21 17 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03400_000140_AYMERIC Of course, we owe you the greatest debt of all, and it is my hope that in extending our support to you and the Scions, we might also express our gratitude to our neighbors─nay, our fellow Eorzeans, whom we pray you will continue to protect.
22 18 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03400_000150_AYMERIC The Lords and Commons agree on very little, but not a soul in either house begrudges your order this offer of patronage. For all you have done and will do, we thank you.

27 23 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03400_000200_MESSENGER02341 An urgent message for the Warrior of Light. I was instructed to deliver it without delay.
28 24 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03400_000210_MESSENGER02341 Master Thancred returned to the manor a short time ago, bearing an injured maiden.

35 31 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03400_000280_AYMERIC Is that...?
36 32 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03400_000290_THANCRED Alisaie, Alphinaud's twin sister.
37 33 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03400_000300_THANCRED She ran afoul of the Warriors of Darkness.
38 34 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03400_000310_THANCRED I had been tracking them since the ceremony at Falcon's Nest. Little did I know I was not the only one.
39 35 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03400_000320_THANCRED Evidently she had learned of their activities and attempted to shadow them on her own. Poorly.
40 36 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03400_000330_THANCRED I rescued her in the Twelveswood, and together we fled north. But though I made every effort to cover our tracks, they caught up with us on the Ishgardian border, and in the ensuing struggle, Alisaie took an arrow to the shoulder. 'Twas only after we had made good our escape that I realized it was poisoned...
41 37 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03400_000340_ALPHINAUD Thank you for coming so quickly. And you, Ser Aymeric.
42 38 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03400_000350_AYMERIC Think nothing of it. How is she?
43 39 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03400_000360_ALPHINAUD We have done all we can for now. Although the immediate danger has passed, the poison yet lingers in her blood...
44 40 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03400_000370_ALPHINAUD We came to Eorzea together, hoping to bring salvation to the realm our grandfather gave his life to protect.
45 41 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03400_000380_ALPHINAUD But when confronted with the bitter realities of its politics and its petty powermongers, she was driven to anger─and to doubt.
46 42 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03400_000390_ALPHINAUD She refused to become embroiled in what she termed Eorzea's “squabbles,” and distanced herself from the Scions.
47 43 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03400_000400_ALPHINAUD Though she remained hopeful of a brighter future, she would walk her own path. Would that it had not been so perilous...
48 44 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03400_000410_ALPHINAUD For all our differences, she is as dedicated as any Scion to the salvation of Eorzea. But more than that, she is my sister...
49 45 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03400_000420_ALPHINAUD To be reunited with her, only to lose her forever... Gods, even to speak the words...
50 46 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03400_000430_AYMERIC Take heart, Master Alphinaud. She will be attended by our most skilled chirurgeons.
51 47 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03400_000440_AYMERIC Bear Mistress Leveilleur to the infirmary at once. Apprise Captain Whitecape of the situation, and inform him that she is to be treated as my personal charge.
52 48 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03400_000450_ALISAIE W-Wait... D-Don't go... Please, come closer...
53 49 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03400_000460_ALISAIE Alphinaud... Is the Warrior of Light... Is <If(PlayerParameter(4))>she<Else/>he</If> with you? D-Don't go...there is something I must say...
54 50 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03400_000470_ALISAIE The Warriors of Darkness are in league with the Ascians... Slaughtering the primals is but the first step in their plan...
55 51 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03400_000480_ALISAIE They make for Xelphatol to bring about Garuda's summoning... And to kill her...
56 52 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03400_000490_ALISAIE You must... You must stop them...
57 53 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03400_000500_TATARU I...I shall inform the others at once!
58 54 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03400_000510_AYMERIC Master Thancred─I would ask that you accompany Mistress Leveilleur to the infirmary. Your knowledge of her injuries may well prove useful in determining her treatment.
59 55 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03400_000520_THANCRED Of course.
60 56 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03400_000530_ALPHINAUD Thank the gods! What happened?
61 57 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03400_000540_ALPHINAUD So they were unable to see the ritual to its completion... Then Garuda is no longer a threat, and whatever the Ascians and the Warriors of Darkness were planning has come to naught...
62 58 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03400_000550_ALPHINAUD But we should not tarry. The knights have secured our path to safety.
63 59 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03400_000560_PALADINOFDARKNESS (-???-)Well, well... What do we have here? You'd better not have killed the primal without us!
64 60 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03400_000570_ALPHINAUD <Emphasis>You</Emphasis>!
65 61 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03400_000580_BARDOFDARKNESS Wait, I know you! Still walking, I see. I could have <Emphasis>sworn</Emphasis> my aim was true...
66 62 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03400_000590_PALADINOFDARKNESS Just what is your game? Leading us the long way, so these fools could step in and claim our prize?
67 63 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03400_000600_WHITEMAGEOFDARKNESS Now, now. Let's not make hasty accusations. By the look of things, the ritual was proceeding as planned.
68 64 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03400_000610_WHITEMAGEOFDARKNESS We arrived at the appointed hour. 'Twas they who erred.
69 65 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03400_000620_ALPHINAUD It is hopeless. We cannot face them all...
70 66 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03400_000630_BARDOFDARKNESS Do mine ears deceive? A <Emphasis>boy</Emphasis>! So <Emphasis>that's</Emphasis> the way of it. Twins! You had me worried for a moment there.
71 67 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03400_000640_BARDOFDARKNESS Know that I will happily make it quicker for you...if you just stand still.
72 68 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03400_000650_WARRIOROFDARKNESS Enough, J'rhoomale. We wouldn't want to upset the man in white with any unnecessary bloodshed, now would we?
73 69 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03400_000660_WARRIOROFDARKNESS You've been awfully busy since we were kind enough to spare your lives.
74 70 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03400_000670_ALPHINAUD While you were <Emphasis>idly</Emphasis> consorting with the Ascians, you mean? Seven hells! What could you possibly hope to achieve!?
75 71 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03400_000680_WARRIOROFDARKNESS Should I explain it to you? Very well. Consider it a reward of sorts for beating us here.
76 72 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03400_000690_WARRIOROFDARKNESS You know the tale of Hydaelyn and Zodiark, I take it. Of the great sundering, and the reflections it created?
77 73 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03400_000700_ALPHINAUD Across ten and three they were divided. Reflections of the Source, each possessed of shards of Light and Dark...
78 74 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03400_000710_WARRIOROFDARKNESS Just so. One of those reflections─the one nearest to the Source─is our home. And we were the heroes blessed with Her Light.
79 75 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03400_000720_WARRIOROFDARKNESS But not all worlds hold Light and Dark in equal measure. In ours, the power of Light was greater by far.
80 76 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03400_000730_WARRIOROFDARKNESS So the Ascians who once threatened our home were no match, and they fell before us, one after another, till none were left. Victory, we thought...
81 77 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03400_000740_WARRIOROFDARKNESS ...And then came the Light─a flood of pure, blinding radiance, annihilating shadow and color and <Emphasis>life itself</Emphasis>. Ere long, it will consume our world, leaving naught in its wake but blank perfection.
82 78 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03400_000750_ALPHINAUD That─ That cannot be! Do you honestly expect us to believe such a story!?
83 79 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03400_000760_WARRIOROFDARKNESS Believe what you like. But it has happened before, on a world far removed from ours. The Thirteenth, which was swallowed by the Dark, and transformed into what you call the void.
84 80 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03400_000770_WARRIOROFDARKNESS Unchallenged Light would condemn us to a similar fate. And so we joined hands with our former enemies, and with their aid came here...to the Source.
85 81 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03400_000780_WARRIOROFDARKNESS For there is but one way to restore the balance and save our home: the Ardor. Calamitous destruction with the power to break down the barriers between planes, and see our worlds rejoined.
86 82 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03400_000790_ALPHINAUD You would doom our world to save your own!? What would even become of us? Of you?
87 83 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03400_000800_WARRIOROFDARKNESS Enough. I tire of talking.
88 84 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03400_000810_WARRIOROFDARKNESS You know our cause. You know what is at stake. We are prepared to do whatever it takes! Are you?
89 85 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03400_000820_ALPHINAUD If there is aught you would say, say it. Otherwise, begone. You have no friends here.
90 86 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03400_000830_ALPHINAUD Alisaie! How are you feeling?
91 87 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03400_000840_ALISAIE Well enough, Brother, thanks to the kindness of our hosts.
92 88 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03400_000850_ALISAIE They told me you had departed for Xelphatol while I was still abed. I slept much better knowing that. Thank you.
93 89 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03400_000860_ALISAIE When they told me you had departed for Xelphatol, I found that I could rest. The outcome seemed a mere formality, as did your safe return. Thank you, my friend.
94 90 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03400_000870_YSHTOLA I take it your mission was a success?
95 91 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03400_000880_THANCRED ...As if we needed any further confirmation that they are in league with the Ascians.
96 92 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03400_000890_THANCRED ...But to <Emphasis>save another world</Emphasis>? I think not.
97 93 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03400_000900_ALPHINAUD I too thought his story fanciful at first. But it is possible there may be a kernel of truth in all of this. At the very least, none of his claims contradict the Word's account.
98 94 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03400_000910_YSHTOLA You were following these people, Alisaie. Why?
99 95 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03400_000920_ALISAIE During my travels, I had oft enjoyed tales of the Scions and their exploits. But after a time, I began to hear whispers of a gifted, and theretofore unknown, band of adventurers.
100 96 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03400_000930_ALISAIE Adventurers who had supposedly sworn to travel the realm slaying primals in the Scions' stead.
101 97 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03400_000940_ALPHINAUD The Warriors of Darkness... And in the course of investigating these rumors, you stumbled upon the Ascians' involvement.
102 98 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03400_000950_ALISAIE Yes. Exactly.
103 99 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03400_000960_AYMERIC Forgive me, but if these Warriors of Darkness mean to bring about another Calamity, to what end do they hunt primals?
104 100 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03400_000970_ALISAIE To prompt an escalation. To deepen the beast tribes' feelings of helplessness and despair, and thereby drive them to summon ever more powerful gods.
105 101 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03400_000980_ALISAIE And lest we forget, these events do not occur in isolation. With their patron deities being slain left and right, the news of man's victory over Nidhogg must surely have sown panic in the minds of the beastmen. 'Tis no wonder they wish to defend themselves.
106 102 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03400_000990_AYMERIC Power answered with greater power, death with more death. A vicious cycle fueled by fear and hatred. I know its like all too well.
107 103 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03400_001000_ALISAIE Indeed. The Ascians sow discord and desperation, and the Warriors of Darkness reap the harvest. And so it continues.
108 104 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03400_001010_ALISAIE Yet that is not the extent of their ambitions. The Ascian himself observed that once the powerless realize that the old gods have failed them, they will have little recourse but to look to a new one.
109 105 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03400_001020_YSHTOLA ...We cannot let that happen.
110 106 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03400_001030_THANCRED It should come as no surprise, but Alisaie and I have uncovered evidence that the Ascians have been manipulating certain parties to ensure that a constant stream of crystals flows into the hands of the beast tribes.
111 107 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03400_001040_THANCRED If we sever these supply lines, we should at least be able to slow the escalation.
112 108 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03400_001050_YSHTOLA Agreed. Krile and I shall journey to Xelphatol and learn what we can of the Ixal's source.
113 109 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03400_001060_AYMERIC Hm. Then I, for my part, pledge to lead a similar investigation into the origin of the Gnath's supply.
114 110 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03400_001070_ALPHINAUD Ser Aymeric?
115 111 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03400_001080_AYMERIC As a member of the Eorzean Alliance, Ishgard is honor bound to play an active role in maintaining the security of the realm. You might also say that I have some personal motivation, given the Ascians dealings with my father.
116 112 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03400_001090_AYMERIC However, I make no secret of the fact that my knowledge of primal beings is scant at best. As such, I should be most grateful if one of your order were to assist me.
117 113 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03400_001100_THANCRED Allow me, Ser Aymeric. I have dealt with the Gnath before.
118 114 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03400_001110_ALPHINAUD Let us consult with Urianger, then. Given his dedication to the study of primal beings, I should be surprised if he could not tell us something of value.
119 115 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03400_001120_ALISAIE Allow me to accompany you, Brother. And before you think to refuse, know that I am not the girl I once was. I shall not be a burden─you have my word.
120 116 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03400_001130_ALPHINAUD But Alisaie, you...
121 117 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03400_001140_ALPHINAUD ...You are more than welcome. After all, it was you who set us upon this path.
122 118 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03400_001150_TATARU Wait a minute! I'm afraid I can't allow you to leave just yet─not until you try on the new outfit I prepared for you!

124 120 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03400_001170_ALISAIE Oh, it's you. Forgive me for straying from the camp.
125 121 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03400_001180_ALISAIE He hasn't been feeling too welcome, to say the least. I thought a change of scenery might do him good, but, alas...
126 122 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03400_001190_ALISAIE It's so quiet out here. The stars spread out before us, beckoning across time and space...
127 123 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03400_001200_ALISAIE "Dawn may banish even the darkest night.“ How bitterly beautiful, those words.
128 124 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03400_001210_ALISAIE I should be stronger for all my experiences, yet my heart aches more than ever.
129 125 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03400_001220_ALISAIE I never understood why Grandfather gave his life that day. I thought that, if I came here, I would find the answers I needed. But when I finally laid eyes on the land he sacrificed everything to save, saw firsthand the bickering, the pettiness...
130 126 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03400_001230_ALISAIE I was disappointed. I was <Emphasis>angry</Emphasis>. I could not fathom how these people were more deserving of his love than his family...than me...
131 127 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03400_001240_ALISAIE Nevertheless, I had to believe he had good reason. I was determined to uncover the whole truth of the Calamity, and perhaps in so doing find my own purpose in this sea of chaos.
132 128 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03400_001250_ALISAIE But when Grandfather revealed the whole truth of the Calamity to us, I finally understood. And I resolved there and then to continue his legacy in my own way.
133 129 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03400_001260_ALISAIE My travels have been enlightening, but I cannot say that I have enjoyed them. I have lost count of the many petty crises that I was helpless to resolve, and of the people whose actions I could not understand.
134 130 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03400_001270_ALISAIE There were others, of course. Good people. People with whom I felt a kinship...whose lives I could not save.
135 131 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03400_001280_ALISAIE I found myself asking what it was all for. Why try if I was doomed to fail in the end? But then I recalled Grandfather's words to my father, years ago, before he left Sharlayan behind forever.
136 132 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03400_001290_ALISAIE "To ignore the plight of those one might conceivably save is not wisdom─it is indolence. We must all protect that which we hold most dear in the manner of our own choosing.“
137 133 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03400_001300_ALISAIE ...We have to try, do we not?
138 134 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03400_001310_ALISAIE Of course, it's one thing to try and another to do. There were times while I was tracking the Warriors of Darkness when I faltered─when I was afraid. But then I thought of my brother, of Urianger...
139 135 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03400_001320_ALISAIE Of course, it's one thing to try and another to do. There were times while I was tracking the Warriors of Darkness when I faltered─when I was afraid. But then I thought of my brother, of Urianger, of you...
140 136 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03400_001330_ALISAIE Ah, pray forgive me. This conversation has been rather one-sided, hasn't it. Mayhap you could recount some of your adventures in Ishgard?
141 137 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03400_Q2_000_001_NONE_VOICE What will you say?
142 138 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03400_A2_000_001_NONE_VOICE I traveled far and wide with two companions, Estinien and Ysayle, who were very...
143 139 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03400_A2_000_002_NONE_VOICE Under some rather unique circumstances, I had the pleasure to fight alongside Ser Aymeric...
144 140 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03400_A2_000_003_NONE_VOICE When Alphinaud and I came at last to the Dravanian hinterlands...
145 141 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03400_001340_ALISAIE Gods, they must have been at each other's throats from dawn till dusk...
146 142 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03400_001350_ALISAIE I daresay you managed to keep the peace, though. Merely being in the presence of the Warrior of Light is surely enough to shame <Emphasis>anyone</Emphasis> into behaving.
147 143 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03400_001360_ALISAIE He is quite a man, the lord commander. I shall have to thank him for his kindness. Truth be told, I was rather taken aback by it all. Given Ishgard's famous love of foreigners, I was half expecting the chirurgeons to berate me for bleeding.
148 144 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03400_001370_ALISAIE But I never heard an unkind word. Everyone there seemed relatively open and friendly, in fact─thanks in no small part to your tireless efforts, I suspect.
149 145 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03400_001380_ALISAIE We had no clear memories of our life in the hinterlands, having returned to the motherland as infants. Nevertheless, I am quite familiar with Master Matoya, as is every Sharlayan. I should like to speak with her someday.
150 146 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03400_001390_ALISAIE 'Twould not surprise me if Alphinaud's recent maturation was at least somewhat due to her sage guidance. I would never tell him this, of course, but there have been moments when I've caught myself thinking of him as an <Emphasis>elder brother</Emphasis>...

154 150 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03400_001430_WARRIOROFDARKNESS Every tool has its purpose. Even this.
155 151 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03400_001440_WARRIOROFDARKNESS Well, what is it?
156 152 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03400_001450_URIANGER The seeds sown in Vylbrand have been plucked from the earth and left to wither.
157 153 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03400_001460_URIANGER Alas, Titan's demise sufficed not to drive the kobolds to deepest desperation.
158 154 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03400_001470_WARRIOROFDARKNESS What did the man in white have to say?
159 155 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03400_001480_URIANGER That we are to proceed as he did first set forth.
160 156 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03400_001490_WARRIOROFDARKNESS Well that's easy for him to say! It's not <Emphasis>his</Emphasis> bloody world on the brink of destruction, is it!?
161 157 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03400_001500_URIANGER Be thou well reminded that with an end to Ishgard's unrest, naught now remaineth to preoccupy the Scions' thoughts. And thus may they devote their every energy to thwarting thee and thine. I foresee only greater difficulties ahead.
162 158 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03400_001510_WARRIOROFDARKNESS Foresee? Are you sure you don't <Emphasis>welcome them</Emphasis>? I'm starting to think you might hold a candle for your old friends, after all...
163 159 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03400_001520_URIANGER Pray do not mistake mine intent. I but look upon the path which lieth before us with due trepidation.
164 160 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03400_001530_URIANGER Shouldst thou be of like mind, pray consider, then, another course, for the power to invoke the Ardor belongeth not unto the Ascians alone.

166 162 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03400_001550_WARRIOROFDARKNESS You do realize what you're suggesting, yes?
167 163 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03400_001560_URIANGER "To ignore the plight of those one might conceivably save is not wisdom─it is indolence.“ The words of my teacher, and a creed I hold close to my heart.

173 169 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03400_001620_IRONMASK Brothers and sisters... Twenty years ago, Ala Mhigo, our home, was claimed by the Garlean Empire.
174 170 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03400_001630_IRONMASK In our haste to overthrow the King of Ruin, we turned a blind eye to our foes in the north. With our glorious revolution, we but laid a path for a new tyrant to succeed the old...and when confronted with our failure, we fled.
175 171 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03400_001640_IRONMASK Not a day goes by that I do not think of those we left behind─think of them, and feel ashamed. And I know each and every one of you feels the same.
176 172 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03400_001650_IRONMASK We abandoned them, our own flesh and blood, to labor till their backs gave in and their breath gave out, building the twisted steel ramparts which now mar our once majestic mountains.
177 173 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03400_001660_IRONMASK We abandoned them, the brave and true, to fight and die for their country─or worse, to be conscripted and sent off to rob another poor bastard of his home.
178 174 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03400_001670_IRONMASK We abandoned them, the meek and powerless, to bow and scrape when the Garleans pass─to sully themselves that they might live to see another day of misery.
179 175 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03400_001680_IRONMASK The Black Wolf may be dead, but a new imperial viceroy reigns in Ala Mhigo now. A beast not a fraction as merciful.
180 176 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03400_001690_IRONMASK You all know the Eorzean Alliance will do naught to oppose him. For all their promises and platitudes, they will not act if there's no profit in it. Only <Emphasis>we</Emphasis> can free our brothers and sisters from the Empire's tyranny, my friends! Only we have the courage to stand and fight!
181 177 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03400_001700_IRONMASK They have imprisoned us, they have enslaved us, and they have murdered us─but no more! Blood demands blood, and the Garleans shall pay for every drop they have spilt upon our lands!
182 178 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03400_001710_IRONMASK This I promise you, for we have a power within us, my friends─a power befitting our pride, our righteousness! Only join us, and we shall grant you the means to unleash it, and together we shall see the Ala Mhigan standard raised over the mountains of Gyr Abania once more!
183 179 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03400_001720_ALPHINAUD "A power befitting their pride...“ Not at all ominous, that.

186 182 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03400_001750_ALPHINAUD I could ask you the same thing!
187 183 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03400_001760_PAPALYMO Well, well, this is quite the surprise.
188 184 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03400_001770_PAPALYMO Might I suggest we continue this conversation in more...<Emphasis>agreeable</Emphasis> surroundings?
189 185 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03400_001780_IRONMASK If you see what I see, if you feel as I feel, then I bid you join us! And those of you who cannot fight, fear not. For it is not strength of arms that will win this battle, but strength of heart!
190 186 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03400_001790_IRONMASK My thanks, comrades.
191 187 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03400_001800_IRONMASK You must be the esteemed adventurers of whom I have heard so much. I understand you have taken an interest in our cause.
192 188 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03400_001810_ALPHINAUD A <Emphasis>great</Emphasis> interest, you might say.
193 189 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03400_001820_ALPHINAUD Your words have certainly made quite an impression on my friend and I. The Resistance has long─and some would say wisely─avoided open engagements with the Garleans, but you and yours seem confident against the world in arms.
194 190 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03400_001830_ALPHINAUD I can only assume you have good reason to be so bold. Why, one might even think you were planning to summon a primal.
195 191 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03400_001840_ALPHINAUD Because that would do much to explain the sizable shipment of crystals you recently received from your smuggler friends─whom our Ishgardian allies have since detained, lest you wonder.
196 192 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03400_001850_YDA I'd like to hear more about the Griffin. The <Emphasis>real</Emphasis> Griffin. Your performance earlier didn't fool us!
197 193 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03400_001860_IRONMASK Ah. The famous Scions of the Seventh Dawn. I should have known better than to think I could conceal the truth from you lot.
198 194 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03400_001870_IRONMASK (-The False Griffin-)You are right. I am not the Griffin. But I speak with his voice, and it was at his behest that we procured those crystals.
199 195 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03400_001880_IRONMASK (-The False Griffin-)You are wrong, however, if you think that we procured them to summon a primal.
200 196 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03400_001890_IRONMASK (-The False Griffin-)We used them to reach an accord with the Amalj'aa. In exchange for crystals to summon their god, they will aid us in the fight for Ala Mhigan liberation.
201 197 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03400_001900_YDA You've got to be joking! Have you gone completely mad!?
202 198 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03400_001910_YDA When people find out you helped the lizardmen summon Ifrit, they'll turn on the Resistance! Ala Mhigo will never be free!
203 199 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03400_001920_IRONMASK (-The False Griffin-)This isn't a faerie tale, girl. We don't have the luxury to play at being honorable heroes.
204 200 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03400_001930_IRONMASK (-The False Griffin-)It's because the likes of you wouldn't sully your saintly hands that Ala Mhigo's been under the yoke for the past twenty years! But the Griffin won't stand for it, and neither will we! We're ready to do whatever it takes!
205 201 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03400_001940_PAPALYMO What proof do you have of this arrangement with the Amalj'aa?
206 202 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03400_001950_IRONMASK (-The False Griffin-)What, aside from a lack of crystals? None. But the beastmen have a great big pile of the things, if you fancy looking. You might want to hurry, though─it'll not be long before they summon their god.
207 203 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03400_001960_IRONMASK (-The False Griffin-)Search our camp if you don't believe me. We have naught to hide.
208 204 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03400_001970_PAPALYMO If there is a cache to be found, Yda and I will find it.
209 205 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03400_001980_IRONMASK (-The False Griffin-)Then let us be off.
210 206 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03400_001990_IRONMASK (-The False Griffin-)Are you perchance the Warrior of Light?
211 207 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03400_002000_IRONMASK (-The False Griffin-)Aye, I thought so. You should know that a great many who have joined us did so because you saved them─because you showed them that one brave <If(PlayerParameter(4))>woman<Else/>man</If> can make a difference.
212 208 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03400_002010_IRONMASK (-The False Griffin-)You saved me too, once. Helped a friend over in Quarrymill make some medicine I needed. But that was a lifetime ago...
213 209 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03400_002020_IRONMASK (-The False Griffin-)On behalf of my brothers and sisters, I thank you. You gave us hope where there was none; courage and strength when all was lost. We shall not squander your gift.
214 210 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03400_002030_PAPALYMO I know that look, Yda, and I do not like it. You cannot seriously be contemplating taking up arms with that band of cutthroats?
215 211 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03400_002040_YDA I... I just...
216 212 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03400_002050_PAPALYMO If the Griffin and his men have their way, it is only a matter of time before the situation in Ala Mhigo comes to a head.
217 213 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03400_002060_PAPALYMO Your homeland's future teeters on a knife-edge, and any reckless action, however small, could have irrevocable consequences.
218 214 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03400_002070_PAPALYMO You mustn't lose sight of that, Yda. When the time comes, we must all make our choices, but we must do so in full possession of the facts. Now let us away─there is work to be done.
219 215 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03400_002080_THANCRED This isn't right. The Amalj'aa would never leave this place so poorly guarded.
220 216 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03400_002090_ALISAIE Not willingly, no.
221 217 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03400_002100_WARRIOROFDARKNESS Hah hah! Ahhh, the saviors of Eorzea. Slow as ever.
222 218 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03400_002110_ALPHINAUD By the Twelve... Will you never learn?
223 219 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03400_002120_WARRIOROFDARKNESS You know, you're right. Mayhap it <Emphasis>is</Emphasis> time for a change of tack. Killing primals, tormenting beastmen, hastening the birth of a new god...
224 220 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03400_002130_WARRIOROFDARKNESS It's all a bit much, isn't it? And, frankly, we don't have the leisure to do it.
225 221 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03400_002140_WARRIOROFDARKNESS Killing the Warrior of Light, on the other hand─that would <Emphasis>soon</Emphasis> plunge Eorzea into chaos.
226 222 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03400_002150_WARRIOROFDARKNESS One life for one world. A fair exchange─wouldn't you agree!?
227 223 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03400_002160_THANCRED Lest you forget, you've more than one opponent!
228 224 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03400_002170_ALPHINAUD Carbuncle, defend me!
229 225 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03400_002180_BARDOFDARKNESS I sense you will offer more than mere target practice. Unlike your sister.

231 227 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03400_002200_ALISAIE Did...did I not tell you, Alphinaud? I am not the girl I once was.
232 228 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03400_002210_ALISAIE My brother was always the clever one, while my talents lay elsewhere...
233 229 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03400_002220_ALISAIE If you would dare to stand against us, to destroy all that we hold dear, then you shall die by my sword!
234 230 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03400_002230_ALISAIE As Eorzea's blade of Light once stood by my side, now I shall stand at <If(PlayerParameter(4))>hers<Else/>his</If>─and defend this realm with all my might!
235 231 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03400_002240_WARRIOROFDARKNESS Let's finish this!
236 232 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03400_002250_WARRIOROFDARKNESS It ends, now!

240 236 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03400_002290_URIANGER He that holdeth fast unto his convictions shall never count betrayal amongst his crimes, though all the world may call him villain. My path is unchanged; my creed sacrosanct. This I believe with all my heart.
241 237 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03400_002300_URIANGER But say, Warrior of Darkness, and speak true─what dost <Emphasis>thou</Emphasis> believe? That rendering up the souls of thy world in service to the Rejoining will grant it salvation? Nay.

243 239 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03400_002320_URIANGER Mine apologies, Master Alphinaud. That the brightest light might shine, duty did compel me to walk in darkest shade.
244 240 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03400_002330_ALISAIE You sweet fool. I was almost willing to believe you had turned against us.
245 241 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03400_002340_ALISAIE I expect a full explanation when this is over. For now, may I assume you have turned your cloak for the last time?

266 262 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03400_002550_WARRIOROFDARKNESS We were just adventurers trying to make our way. An odd job here, a favor there─we never aspired to be Warriors of Light.
267 263 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03400_002560_WARRIOROFDARKNESS But word of our deeds spread, and soon people were calling us heroes. They placed their hopes and dreams on our shoulders and bid us fight for all that was good and right.
268 264 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03400_002570_WARRIOROFDARKNESS We fought and we fought and we fought...until there was no one left to fight. We <Emphasis>won</Emphasis>...and now our world is being erased from existence.

270 266 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03400_002590_WARRIOROFDARKNESS You of all people should understand! We cannot─we <Emphasis>will</Emphasis> not falter. We brought our world to the brink of destruction, and now we must save it.
271 267 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03400_002600_PALADINOFDARKNESS I've died before, Arbert. I'm not afraid to die again.
272 268 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03400_002610_WHITEMAGEOFDARKNESS No matter how many times we fall, we must rise and carry on the fight. For those we left behind.

276 272 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03400_002650_MINFILIA Such pain... Such sorrow... Oh, my dear children...
277 273 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03400_002660_THANCRED I-It can't be!
278 274 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03400_002670_URIANGER Mother Hydaelyn, hearken unto Your children's plea! From two worlds do we gather, and from two worlds do we offer a bounty of Light.
279 275 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03400_002680_URIANGER In this desperate hour, we do beseech Your intercession! We beg an audience with the Word of the Mother─with Your chosen, Minfilia!

281 277 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03400_002700_MINFILIA Though many are lost, there are those we can yet save... Whom I can yet save...
282 278 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03400_002710_ALPHINAUD Minfilia!
283 279 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03400_002720_MINFILIA Blessed children of the First. The light of your world hath grown blinding in its radiance, but it is not yet absolute.
284 280 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03400_002730_MINFILIA I will hie me to your world and there take unto myself the Light which riseth even now to drown it, as Darkness once did drown another.
285 281 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03400_002740_WARRIOROFDARKNESS <Emphasis>Now</Emphasis> you deign to answer our prayers!? I will suffer this farce no longer!
286 282 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03400_002750_MINFILIA (-Minfilia-)As the Ascians must serve as instruments of Zodiark's will, so too must others carry out the will of Hydaelyn.
287 283 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03400_002760_MINFILIA (-Minfilia-)But for the boon you have granted Her, She has grown strong enough to set me free, that I might serve as Her emissary.
288 284 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03400_002770_MINFILIA (-Minfilia-)Your suffering, your sacrifice, your supplications─She has heard all. We will not let the First fall to Light.
289 285 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03400_002780_MINFILIA (-Minfilia-)Thank you, Urianger, for bringing everyone here. It fills my heart with joy to look upon the faces of my friends once more.
290 286 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03400_002790_URIANGER In taking you unto Her bosom, I knew that Hydaelyn had bequeathed to you a sliver of Her grace, granting you strength long sought.
291 287 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03400_002800_URIANGER And in treating with the Ascians, I learned of a star like unto our own─a doomed world of fallen heroes, in whom I glimpsed ourselves. The First.
292 288 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03400_002810_URIANGER Full long did I search for a means to save this world, concluding at the last that the answer lay in the power of blessed crystals. And thus did I labor to set Light against Dark.
293 289 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03400_002820_URIANGER Yet I knew from the beginning that this salvation would not come without sacrifice, for the instrument of the First's deliverance would of necessity be required to journey thither...there to remain, mayhap forever.
294 290 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03400_002830_ALPHINAUD You orchestrated all of this not to save her, but to send her away!?
295 291 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03400_002840_URIANGER One life for one world. Such was the bargain, and you the coin, though it were not mine to spend.
296 292 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03400_002850_MINFILIA (-Minfilia-)Have we not walked together in the light of the Crystal, and at Her bidding borne witness to the joys and sorrows of this land? Each and every one of you knows my heart. If this be the price I must pay, I pay it gladly.
297 293 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03400_002860_THANCRED ...You would go alone then?
298 294 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03400_002870_MINFILIA (-Minfilia-)My dearest Thancred... You who have ever watched over me... I am truly grateful for all you have done on my behalf, as would my father be.
299 295 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03400_002880_MINFILIA (-Minfilia-)Your kindness, your compassion, your love... These are your gifts to me, and our gifts to them, forming a bond which transcends time and space.
300 296 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03400_002890_THANCRED Sometimes I forget you are not the child I once knew. Make me proud.
301 297 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03400_002900_MINFILIA (-Minfilia-)Long have I watched you from Hydaelyn's side. Watched as you nurtured and kept safe the light of the dawn.
302 298 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03400_002910_MINFILIA (-Minfilia-)The dark recesses of the world hide untold secrets and dangers. Thus do I entrust to you Tupsimati. I pray you keep to the path that you may never have need of it.
303 299 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03400_002920_BLACKMAGEOFDARKNESS 'Twould seem the power of our crystals is all but spent. Perhaps...if there is naught else to be done...
304 300 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03400_002930_WARRIOROFDARKNESS Hear me, servant of Hydaelyn. If you would have us place our trust in you, then I would ask a favor.
305 301 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03400_002940_WARRIOROFDARKNESS Take us with you. Take us home.
306 302 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03400_002950_WARRIOROFDARKNESS We were blind to the truth once. So I tell you this, as one fool to another. Light, Dark, it doesn't matter. What matters is how you choose to use them.
307 303 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03400_002960_WARRIOROFDARKNESS We made our choice, and you see what came of it. So please...forge a different path. Seize a better fate.
308 304 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03400_002970_MINFILIA (-Minfilia-)'Tis a strange feeling. So many times have I watched you depart, my heart filled with worry, and ever did you return to me in triumph.
309 305 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03400_002980_MINFILIA (-Minfilia-)Someday, when I have found a way to free this star from Her sorrow, I promise you I shall repay the favor.
310 306 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03400_002990_MINFILIA Thank you, Lhaminn...for everything...
311 307 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03400_003000_YDA Back in the solar! It's been too long since we were all together like this. Not since...not since after Moenbryda...
312 308 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03400_003010_PAPALYMO Much has changed since then─we ourselves most of all.
313 309 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03400_003020_ALPHINAUD Though not all who were lost could be gathered here today, we may take comfort in the knowledge that those who are not are carrying on the fight.
314 310 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03400_003030_TATARU While I am grateful to our friends in the north for their hospitality...it isn't half good to be back!
315 311 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03400_003040_ALPHINAUD But, as Papalymo rightly said, much has changed since we last stood here. The Scions of the Seventh Dawn are not as they once were. Nor should we be.
316 312 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03400_003050_ALPHINAUD Our travels in the north brought us into contact with a host of fine and generous people, and their selfless deeds served to show me that it is not lofty causes that should inform our actions, but our hearts.
317 313 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03400_003060_ALPHINAUD And I hope that the Scions might continue in this manner: as individuals driven by individual principles. Provided we all sincerely desire to work towards Eorzea's salvation, I believe the paths we follow to achieve it need not─and should not─be dictated by any single ideal.
318 314 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03400_003070_YSHTOLA Companions bound by a common purpose, free to go whither they will... The idea is not without merit.
319 315 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03400_003080_YSHTOLA Very well. I shall resume my research of the primals and the elder gods of Eorzea. Should anyone have need of my findings, you need only ask.
320 316 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03400_003090_YSHTOLA I should be glad of your continued assistance.
321 317 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03400_003100_KRILE Well, my main purpose in coming here was to see the Scions of the Seventh Dawn restored and my dear friend found...
322 318 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03400_003110_KRILE Nevertheless, having involved myself in your struggles, I feel compelled to see them through to the bitter end. For Minfilia's sake. That is, if there are no objections?
323 319 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03400_003120_ALPHINAUD You will always be welcome here, Krile.
324 320 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03400_003130_THANCRED Urianger, can we trust you to carry on your investigation of the Ascians as before?
325 321 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03400_003140_URIANGER Regardless of mine own desires, I am undeserving of your trust, having so villainously deceived you all.
326 322 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03400_003150_THANCRED Now, now, I'll hear no more of that. 'Twould be disrespectful of Minfilia's wishes.
327 323 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03400_003160_THANCRED She entrusted matters here to us, that we might protect this star and understand the truth which hides at Her heart. Mayhap I can handle the former, but I think you far better suited to the latter, no?
328 324 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03400_003170_URIANGER Very well. Then out of love for my lady Minfilia and Moenbryda both, this shall be my solemn charge.
329 325 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03400_003180_YDA I... <Emphasis>Papalymo and I</Emphasis> should probably return to Thanalan to keep an eye on the Resistance.
330 326 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03400_003190_YDA There's still the matter of the Griffin and the Amalj'aa, not to mention the new imperial viceroy. That little lot must be worthy of our attention, right?
331 327 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03400_003200_ALPHINAUD And what will you do, Alisaie?
332 328 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03400_003210_ALISAIE You know I have no great love for organizations and formalities.
333 329 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03400_003220_ALISAIE That being said...this new approach you propose is not wholly objectionable. And we've always got <If(PlayerParameter(4))>her<Else/>him</If> to keep us from bickering.
334 330 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03400_003230_ALISAIE But I will suffer no titles. I am not here for House Leveilleur, nor to walk in Grandfather's shadow.
335 331 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03400_003240_ALPHINAUD Upon that point, we see eye to eye. If it please you, you may think of me as but another comrade-in-arms.
336 332 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03400_003250_TATARU Well then, <Emphasis>Alphy</Emphasis>─I, for my part, shall see to the paperwork and the finances with my characteristic aplomb.
337 333 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03400_003260_ALPHINAUD I would not have it any other way, Tataru.
338 334 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03400_003270_ALPHINAUD And we mustn't forget you. What now for the Warrior of Light?
339 335 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03400_Q3_000_001_NONE_VOICE What will you say?
340 336 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03400_A3_000_001_NONE_VOICE A new adventure, what else?
341 337 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03400_A3_000_002_NONE_VOICE The road goes ever on...
342 338 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03400_A3_000_003_NONE_VOICE To strive for those we have lost. For those we can yet save.
343 339 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03400_A3_000_004_NONE_VOICE ...
344 340 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03400_003280_ALPHINAUD Indeed.
345 341 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03400_003290_YSHTOLA The path behind us was fraught with hardship, and the path before us will be no less unforgiving. But a new dawn <Emphasis>shall</Emphasis> break over the realm, and I see before me the faces of those who will deliver it.
346 342 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03400_003300_PAPALYMO One world's heroes are another world's villains. One world's loss another world's gain.
347 343 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03400_003310_PAPALYMO "Where men go as one, there is life... And where there is life...“
348 344 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03400_003320_PAPALYMO My friends. If I may, I would ask that you entrust Tupsimati to me.
349 345 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03400_003330_PAPALYMO Clouds gather upon the horizon, and as Master Louisoix's disciple, I would keep it close at hand.
350 346 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03400_003340_PAPALYMO Thank you. I shall guard it well.
351 347 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03400_003350_PAPALYMO "...There is cause to hope.“

6 2 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03500_000030_ALISAIE Yes, but for <Emphasis>what</Emphasis>, exactly? We all have duties to attend to, Alphinaud, so you may dispense with the preamble.
7 3 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03500_000040_ALPHINAUD Thank you, Alisaie. It is the very subject of those duties which compelled me to call this gathering. Though the Warriors of Darkness no longer pose a threat, Eorzea's many troubles demand no less of our attention.
8 4 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03500_000050_ALPHINAUD And while I stand by the decision to approach each task as we see fit, I fear our effectiveness will ultimately be diminished should we continue to act in ignorance of each other's efforts.

9 5 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03500_000060_ALISAIE Is that all? Then the decision seems clear.
10 6 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03500_000070_ALISAIE No one else has shown any enthusiasm for the role. And judging by your performance at our previous meeting, you would seem the perfect candidate. You always did have a flair for politics.

12 8 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03500_000090_ALPHINAUD As my tenure as commander of the Crystal Braves comprehensively demonstrated, I lack the qualities required for such an office. I would much prefer to remain as I am now─a soldier in the field, so to speak.

21 17 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03500_000180_KRILE Now, we've staunched the bleeding, but it may be a while before you can move about again. Though, having seen your wounds, I'm surprised you were still moving at all...

23 19 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03500_000200_MNAAGO I took the shortest route I could, though I knew it was more heavily patrolled... As you can see, my efforts at evasion were not entirely successful.
24 20 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03500_000210_YDA Honestly, you're too brave for your own good! What was so urgent that you needed to fight half the Empire to get here? You could have been killed!
25 21 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03500_000220_MNAAGO I'm sorry, Yda. I had good reason... Ah, but I imagine your friends are wondering who this bloody mess of a Miqo'te is. My name is M'naago, and I belong to the Ala Mhigan Resistance.
26 22 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03500_000230_MNAAGO I came to warn Yda and Papalymo about one of our leaders─a man who calls himself the Griffin. He's always been dangerous, but he's planning something new...something reckless.
27 23 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03500_000240_THANCRED The Griffin, you say? I've heard the name. Rumor has it, your man is eager to test his claws.
28 24 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03500_000250_MNAAGO Aye, and on no easy target. He means to assault Baelsar's Wall from the Ala Mhigan side.
29 25 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03500_000260_PAPALYMO But what does the Griffin possibly hope to gain from such an attack?
30 26 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03500_000270_MNAAGO From what I understand, he wants the fires of war to spread to Eorzea. And for that, he needs to control the border with Gridania.
31 27 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03500_000280_ALPHINAUD ...So he means to spark a conflict between the Alliance and the imperial forces stationed in Ala Mhigo─to have Eorzea's armies aid in the liberation effort, whether they will it or no.
32 28 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03500_000290_PAPALYMO His plan is flawed. Even should the Resistance succeed in occupying the Wall, they would not be able to hold it. Imperial reinforcements would drive them out within a week!
33 29 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03500_000300_KRILE Be that as it may, if there is even a chance that this scheme could bring about an escalation in hostilities between Eorzea and the Empire, the Alliance must be informed.

36 32 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03500_000330_YSHTOLA You will be our voice in Ishgard. Explain the situation to Ser Aymeric, and encourage him to send an envoy.
37 33 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03500_000340_YSHTOLA Tataru, Krile─I leave the care of our injured messenger to you. See that she remains quiescent and her wounds closed.
38 34 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03500_000350_YSHTOLA I believe that covers everything. Let us be about our tasks.
39 35 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03500_000360_PAPALYMO I suspect the ill tidings from Gyr Abania will be held as a turning point─the beginning to a bloody end.
40 36 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03500_000370_PAPALYMO The business of war was ever conducted with the coin of self-sacrifice.
41 37 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03500_000380_PAPALYMO 'Twas Master Louisoix himself who taught us that such costs are not to be ignored or denied.
42 38 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03500_000390_PAPALYMO And so I shall embrace them. When the time comes, I will make my choice─as you will yours.
43 39 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03500_000400_KANESENNA I bid you welcome, my friends. As you will by now be aware, the Scions of the Seventh Dawn have come into possession of certain intelligence concerning recent developments in the region of Gyr Abania. It springs, I am assured, from an unimpeachable source─is that not so, Master Alphinaud?
44 40 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03500_000410_ALPHINAUD Indeed, Elder Seedseer. Our information comes directly from a member of the Resistance's inner circle, and we have no cause to doubt its veracity.
45 41 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03500_000420_RAUBAHN This “Griffin” of theirs is a fool if he thinks he can hold Baelsar's Wall against the Empire.
46 42 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03500_000430_RAUBAHN When the imperials move to take it back, they will come in force─and the resulting fighting is all but certain to spill over into the Black Shroud...
47 43 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03500_000440_KANESENNA At the Battle of Carteneau, the combined might of three Grand Companies labored to contend with the remnants of but a single imperial legion.
48 44 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03500_000450_KANESENNA Alone, Gridania would be hard-pressed indeed to hold back the tide should the Garleans turn their minds from reclamation to invasion.
49 45 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03500_000460_AYMERIC May I once more convey my nation's deepest regrets for our inaction in the days prior to the Calamity. 'Tis a stain upon our ledger that I would fain remove.
50 46 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03500_000470_AYMERIC Elder Seedseer─I do hereby request leave to deploy a defensive force within the borders of Gridania. Ishgard's return to the Alliance shall be honored by more than mere ink upon parchment.
51 47 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03500_000480_YUGIRI The Doman people, too, would join any effort that weakens our common foe. We are few, but our most seasoned shinobi are at your disposal.
52 48 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03500_000490_KANESENNA On behalf of my people, I offer you my humble thanks. Gridania welcomes your assistance.
53 49 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03500_000500_RAUBAHN It is time we set our contingency plans in motion. Is the Alliance agreed?
54 50 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03500_000510_RAUBAHN Then let us make ready for war. Victory favors the swift, and there is much to be done.
55 51 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03500_000520_ALISAIE The council knows that Ala Mhigo will not soon be wrested from the Empire, and its decision to bolster the border's defenses seems eminently practical. Why, then, Brother, do you scowl so?
56 52 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03500_000530_ALPHINAUD I agree that they have chosen the wisest course available. Indeed, the only reasonable one.
57 53 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03500_000540_ALPHINAUD Yet something feels awry. In making ready for war, is the Alliance not granting the Griffin the very thing he desired? Any attempt to hold the Wall is doomed to failure, aye, but I wonder if we have misjudged the prize for which he plays...
58 54 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03500_000550_ILBERD <pant> <pant> You've beaten me, aye...

81 77 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03500_000770_ILBERD How long I have struggled to reach this point! My countrymen so inured to the taste of defeat, they no longer balk at its bitterness. Shouting my throat raw with rallying cries, only to be greeted with dull eyes and blank faces!
82 78 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03500_000780_ILBERD My “brothers” and “sisters” in Ul'dah have surrendered to their apathy and their appetites. Were it not for the glint of Lolorito's coin, I doubt even those here now would have answered my call!

101 97 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03500_000950_PAPALYMO Master Louisoix briefly contained Bahamut by means of a potent spell of sealing. I will now attempt to do the same.
102 98 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03500_000960_ALPHINAUD But that's impossible! We would need hours to collect the necessary aether, i-if not days!
103 99 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03500_000970_PAPALYMO Ah, Alphinaud... Though I concede it may not always be apparent, I was ever your grandsire's finest pupil.

120 116 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03500_001100_GOSETSU (-Towering Traveler-)A word if you would, good sir. This place, it is within the realm of Eorzea?
121 117 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03500_001110_PASSER02356 You're an odd-looking fellow, aren't you? Still...takes all sorts, I s'pose. This here's Vesper Bay─“Thanalan's door to the ocean,” as some folk like to call it...
122 118 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03500_001120_GOSETSU (-Towering Traveler-)Am I to understand from your answer that I have indeed arrived in Eorzea?
123 119 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03500_001130_PASSER02356 Eh? ...Yes. You're in Eorzea.
124 120 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03500_001140_GOSETSU (-Towering Traveler-)Ah, a plain response at last! And the one I wanted, at that! My journey was not without its hardships, and I would sooner travel by land than put to sea again!
125 121 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03500_001150_GOSETSU (-Towering Traveler-)You do not believe that so small a bark could bear me across the ocean? Such timid little sailors! I had but to set my course, then set my jaw till I made port!

130 126 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03500_001200_URIANGER Thou art far indeed from home, friend...
131 127 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03500_001210_KANESENNA Dear friends...pray accept my heartfelt thanks for your efforts in defense of Gridania's borders. I would fain dwell longer on my gratitude for the support of the Alliance, but the situation at Baelsar's Wall demands that we forego such pleasantries.
132 128 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03500_001220_BODYGUARD01623 According to our most recent intelligence, the cocoon of light that formed in the air above the Wall remains undimmed and unbroken.
133 129 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03500_001230_BODYGUARD01623 After measuring the cocoon's aetheric concentrations, Archon Y'shtola has confirmed the presence of a primal entity...
134 130 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03500_001240_RAUBAHN Hmph. So we must assume that Ilberd's thrice-damned god is indeed trapped within. And what news of the imperials? They are not like to ignore such a spectacle.
135 131 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03500_001250_BODYGUARD01623 Sir. A Garlean airship was observed making an approach, but the vessel was destroyed when it drew near. The Empire appears to have made no subsequent attempts to reach the object.
136 132 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03500_001260_KANESENNA The soldiers who witnessed the incident spoke of a “lance of light” issuing from within the cocoon. Of an entire warship being reduced to smoking ruin in the space of a moment...
137 133 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03500_001270_KANESENNA Veterans of Carteneau, meanwhile...likened the destruction to that wrought by the fiery wrath of Bahamut.
138 134 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03500_001280_ALISAIE We could face another Calamity...
139 135 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03500_001290_ALPHINAUD So the primal is awake, then? Contained, yes, but for how long? We must destroy it now, lest it break free!
140 136 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03500_001300_CID Agreed. There is, however, the small matter of how to get close enough to a being that swats warships from the sky as you would a bothersome gnat...
141 137 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03500_001310_NERO (-???-)Is this truly so complex a puzzle? Or have you no <Emphasis>stomach</Emphasis> for the obvious solution?
142 138 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03500_001320_CID What in the hells are <Emphasis>you</Emphasis> doing here!?
143 139 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03500_001330_NERO A pleasure to see you too, Garlond. Now, if you would be so kind as to explain to these good people why you should be <Emphasis>begging me</Emphasis> for my assistance, that would be most appreciated.
144 140 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03500_001340_AYMERIC Who is this man?
145 141 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03500_001350_NERO Oh, how terrifically rude of me! Nero tol Scaeva, former tribunus of the XIVth Legion of the Garlean Empire. These days, however, one might say that I am something of a free agent.
146 142 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03500_001360_CID What do you want, Nero?
147 143 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03500_001370_NERO I was <Emphasis>getting</Emphasis> to that. Although you already know what I am about to propose, old friend.
148 144 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03500_001380_NERO As you have rather belatedly realized, within that frail binding lurks an entity alike in strength to the great Bahamut. And the only force in existence which might conceivably contend with such a foe is the very creation which captured the elder primal in the first place. I speak, of course, of Omega.
149 145 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03500_001390_RAUBAHN Omega!? That hulk has been gathering dust beneath the plains of Carteneau since the Allagans breathed their last! And none alive knows how to wake it.
150 146 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03500_001400_NERO I'm sorry─do you understand who it is with whom you have the privilege of speaking? I am Nero tol Scaeva, master engineer─the mechanical genius who restored the Ultima Weapon to full operational capacity!
151 147 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03500_001410_NERO And, as luck would have it, I am graciously offering you the use of my considerable expertise.
152 148 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03500_001420_CID And, what, you just expect us to accept? Why would we trust the word of a man who furnished the Black Wolf with the means to subjugate Eorzea?
153 149 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03500_001430_CID And, what, you just expect us to accept? You're a fool if you think your deeds at the Crystal Tower were enough to win my trust, Nero.
154 150 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03500_001440_NERO Trust? You wound me, Garlond! All those years studying side by side at the Academy, sharing both trial and triumph. We were countrymen, once, you and I.
155 151 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03500_001450_NERO But sentiment aside─have you a better solution? Or do you mean to send in your vaunted hero there, as you always do, and pray the world is not engulfed in flame?
156 152 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03500_001460_NERO Let us approach the problem in a rational manner. Does not the fact that Omega slumbers in stasis point to the existence of some overriding technology? A means of control?
157 153 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03500_001470_KANESENNA I would ask a question, if I may─Nero, was it not? In the event that we succeeded in using Omega to shackle the primal in the manner you propose, what then would become of it? Do we not risk repeating the mistakes of the Allagans?
158 154 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03500_001480_NERO Omega is but a tool. How we choose to employ that tool is entirely up to us. Of course, if you would rather leave it buried beneath Carteneau while you continue your petty squabbles above, then I suppose that is also your choice.
159 155 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03500_001490_CID Spare us, Nero! The Seedseer's concern is a valid one. He who controls Omega wields the power of the gods. The very power which led the Allagans to destroy themselves.
160 156 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03500_001500_NERO And does it not fall to we engineers to prevent such misuse? What was your company's proud slogan? “Freedom through Technology”?
161 157 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03500_001510_CID Hah. A creed you follow, is it?
162 158 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03500_001520_CID <sigh> What say you? Do we take this villain at his word?
163 159 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03500_Q1_000_001_NONE_VOICE What will you say?
164 160 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03500_A1_000_001_NONE_VOICE He makes a convincing case.
165 161 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03500_A1_000_002_NONE_VOICE No, but I'll keep an eye on him.
166 162 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03500_001530_CID He makes me grind my teeth is what he does, but I suppose we don't have much of a choice.
167 163 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03500_001540_CID ...As will I. I don't like it, but then it doesn't look like we have much choice.
168 164 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03500_001550_CID Would the council be willing to entrust this matter to a pair of former imperials?
169 165 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03500_001560_KANESENNA Yes. The task of restoring the Allagan relic will be yours. But the responsibility for its reawakening must remain with the council. Do we condone this course of action?
170 166 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03500_001570_RAUBAHN Aye. 'Twould seem we do. Let the records show that we invest this contingent with the authority to enter Carteneau and take command of Omega.
171 167 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03500_001580_RAUBAHN Cid, I appoint you leader of the expedition. Scions─I would ask that you assign some few of your number to escort Master Garlond and supervise the other one.
172 168 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03500_001590_ALPHINAUD We should be happy to oblige. The politics of Carteneau being what they are, I daresay our neutrality will prove useful in avoiding any unnecessary entanglements.
173 169 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03500_001600_ALISAIE If I am not mistaken, Doma occupies a similarly neutral position. Might we not persuade you to join the expedition, Lady Yugiri? If you suspected any foul play from Nero, you would be welcome to kill him.
174 170 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03500_001610_YUGIRI My blade is yours.
175 171 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03500_001620_NERO Not a moment's hesitation, eh? You'll forgive me if I do not shake your hand.
176 172 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03500_001630_NERO Hm. So these are the fabled headquarters of the Scions... I confess, I would have expected an order of self-proclaimed warrior-scholars to surround themselves with the fruits of man's enlightenment. And yet there is not so much as a single piece of magitek in sight.
177 173 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03500_001640_NERO It never ceases to amaze me how primitive you Eorzeans truly are...
178 174 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03500_001650_TATARU Hmph! I'll have you know that the Rising Stones is home to the very latest in magitek innovation.
179 175 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03500_001660_TATARU Wedge calls it the “Mark XIV Thermocoil Boilmaster,” and it's the finest kettle I've ever had the pleasure to own.
180 176 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03500_001670_ALPHINAUD We are returned.
181 177 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03500_001680_ALPHINAUD Well, Yda and I, at least. Y'shtola and the others remained behind to continue their assessment of the binding magick.
182 178 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03500_001690_YDA There didn't seem much point staying just for that, so I decided to come back with Alphinaud. Papalymo bought us this time. We shouldn't waste it.
183 179 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03500_001700_GOSETSU (-Towering Traveler-)By your leave!

188 184 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03500_001750_YUGIRI Gosetsu!? Why are you come to Eorzea?
189 185 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03500_001760_GOSETSU In search of you, Yugiri! For days and nights did I row across the angry sea...
190 186 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03500_001770_GOSETSU I made port in good spirits, only for my own flesh to betray me over the trifling matter of an empty belly! Collapsed in the street like an unfed stray, I was, until Lord Urianger came to my aid.
191 187 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03500_001780_GOSETSU Over a most welcome meal, we spoke of the plight of Doma, and I learned of our displaced countrymen's work to resettle this blighted land. 'Twas blind fortune I was able to locate you so swiftly!
192 188 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03500_001790_GOSETSU But now we must make ready to depart! Our master languishes in dire peril, and Doma calls her daughter home!
193 189 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03500_001800_YUGIRI It is not so simple, Gosetsu. There are obligations which bind me here...
194 190 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03500_001810_GOSETSU You─ You <Emphasis>refuse</Emphasis>? Did you mislay your oath during your flight from our homeland? The laws of hospitality must be honored, but surely the vow to defend your master demands the greater obeisance!
195 191 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03500_001820_YUGIRI It was our master who bid me guide our people to safe haven by any means necessary. And it was the Scions you see before you who provided us succor and sanctuary when all others refused. Dire peril or no, were I to return without first repaying such “hospitality,” our master would cut me down at the threshold.
196 192 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03500_001830_GOSETSU Mayhap that is so...
197 193 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03500_001840_YUGIRI There is more. A crisis threatens all within this realm, Eorzean and Doman alike, and I go to play my part in its resolution. I will not bring shame upon our liege by abandoning my people or my duty.
198 194 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03500_001850_NERO How very noble of you. Now, in the name of honor, kinship, and─ah, yes─<Emphasis>practicality</Emphasis>, might I suggest we get this expedition underway? Or would you rather debate the finer points of duty and leave Omega to the <Emphasis>Empire</Emphasis>?
199 195 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03500_001860_GOSETSU The Empire!?
200 196 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03500_001870_GOSETSU Yugiri? You draw steel against the curs of Garlemald?
201 197 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03500_001880_GOSETSU Then why did you not say so!? My blade is oathbound to fall upon the ranks of the imperials wheresoever they march! Lead on, shadow walker. And may the enemy tremble at our coming!
202 198 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03500_001890_NERO Now where was the...? Ah!
203 199 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03500_001900_NERO I've enabled the teleporter. One brief jump, and we shall arrive in Omega's control room.
204 200 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03500_001910_CID How convenient. ...You've been here before.
205 201 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03500_001920_NERO Of course. 'Twas no easy task threading a path through all the skirmishers...
206 202 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03500_001930_NERO But how could I ignore the existence of such a fascinating toy! You may trust that my preliminary examination was suitably thorough.
207 203 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03500_001940_CID Trust? Aye. I trust your appetite for technology.
208 204 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03500_001950_GRYNEWAHT I chase down a suspect airship, and who should I find but the traitor, Cid Garlond!

213 209 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03500_002000_GOSETSU I am Gosetsu, samurai of Doma! You will rue your choice of opponent this day!
214 210 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03500_002010_NERO Temporal stasis disengaged. All systems operational─Garlond?
215 211 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03500_002020_CID All clear on this side! It's waking up...
216 212 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03500_002030_NERO Remarkable! Omega's sensors immediately detected the presence of the cocoon even at this distance. They must have been set to scan for sources of energy exceeding certain magnitudes.
217 213 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03500_002040_CID I still don't see any means to control the machine directly. It seems to have been designed to act wholly autonomously... Hmm.
218 214 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03500_002050_CID Once we release Omega, we can be fairly certain it will attempt to capture the primal at Baelsar's Wall. Assuming its mission is successful, our only option at that point will be to reengage its stasis system and put it back to sleep.
219 215 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03500_002060_NERO And should the machine happen to misbehave, we'll simply initiate an emergency shutdown. I confess, we don't yet have a <Emphasis>complete</Emphasis> grasp of its capabilities, but I'm certain the details will not elude us for long.
220 216 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03500_002070_YDA Well...I understood less than half of that. So─my question to you is: are we doing the right thing?
221 217 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03500_Q2_000_001_NONE_VOICE What will you say?
222 218 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03500_A2_000_001_NONE_VOICE Well, what do you think?

225 221 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03500_002090_YDA I...suppose not.
226 222 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03500_002100_YDA All right. Step aside, Cid. Is this the thing I need to press?
227 223 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03500_002110_CID Uh...yes. That's the one.
228 224 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03500_002120_YDA You gave too much for us to waste this chance, Papalymo. So, this is for you...and me.
229 225 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03500_002130_NERO Hahahahahahahaha! Yes! Fly free, my pretty! Show us what you can do!
230 226 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03500_002140_CID The launch sequence has begun. Omega is loose.
231 227 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03500_002150_CID Hm? Omega has stopped transmitting. But that shouldn't be, I─I didn't engage the stasis system.
232 228 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03500_002160_GOSETSU And what does this signify? I have little understanding of these contrivances...
233 229 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03500_002170_NERO The launch went exactly to plan, but all signals emanating from Omega have ceased. This may indicate any number of things, but we will need to join the Scions out in the field if we are to ascertain which one.
234 230 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03500_002180_CID Right, I've ordered the malfunctioning beast to go to sleep. That should prevent any unfortunate mishaps. I suggest we make our way back to Gridania.
235 231 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03500_002190_YDA Omega destroyed the cocoon...
236 232 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03500_002200_YDA Papalymo's spell is fading. It was bound to his aether, you see...and if the connection is broken...
237 233 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03500_002210_ALPHINAUD My friends... I cannot well express how glad I am to see you both unharmed. They say that Omega's clash with the primal shook the very firmament...
238 234 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03500_002220_YSHTOLA You need not have worried─the battle took place far above the ground. We were able to observe in relative safety, though I am given to understand that there were casualties on the far side of the Wall.
239 235 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03500_002230_KRILE It was like watching a nightmare unfold before our very eyes. Ilberd's primal manifested in the form of a colossal dragon─a being of pure violence. It burst forth from the cocoon with such terrible force...
240 236 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03500_002240_ALPHINAUD That such a horror should spring from the eyes of Nidhogg comes as no surprise. Nor do I wonder at its form. Ilberd all but announced it in the moments prior to his death. Plainly, it was his dying wish to visit a second Calamity upon the Empire.
241 237 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03500_002250_KRILE And I am quite certain the abomination would have obliged, had it not found itself outmatched by Omega. Gods... I am no stranger to the works of Allag, but even I was unprepared for the machine's furiosity. It beggared belief.
242 238 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03500_002260_ALPHINAUD And how fares poor Yda in the midst of all of this? Have you spoken with her?
243 239 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03500_002270_YSHTOLA She is up on the platform, lost in thought. We deemed it best not to disturb her, but mayhap she would welcome some company after all. Shall we?
244 240 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03500_002280_YDA The light's gone. It was all we had left of him...
245 241 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03500_002290_ALPHINAUD Yda...
246 242 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03500_002300_YDA I don't blame anyone. I knew what was going to happen.
247 243 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03500_002310_YDA I knew the spell Papalymo meant to cast would drain away his life force─I...knew that it would only buy us a little time...
248 244 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03500_002320_YSHTOLA Yda, there is no need to explain.
249 245 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03500_002330_YDA But there is. I can't hide in Papalymo's little shadow anymore and I shouldn't hide behind my sister's mask.
250 246 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03500_002340_YDA Twenty years ago, on the day the Empire marched into Ala Mhigo, I was still just a child─not even five summers old.
251 247 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03500_002350_YDA My father had been one of the leaders of the revolution. He had fought to overthrow the mad king, Theodoric.
252 248 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03500_002360_YDA And my sister had fought alongside him. She was strong and kind, and always knew what to do.
253 249 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03500_002370_YDA But when the Garleans came, everything changed. My father went to war against them too, and I never saw him again. After that, I remember a lot of running. My sister dragged me for malms and malms until we came to the city of Sharlayan.
254 250 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03500_002380_YDA That was where she met Master Louisoix. He introduced her to the Circle of Knowing, and she eventually became an Archon.
255 251 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03500_002390_YSHTOLA She was your inspiration. Is that not why you took up her mask and her name? ...Or did you simply mean to continue what she had started?
256 252 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03500_002400_YDA ...You've known all along, haven't you? That I wasn't Yda.
257 253 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03500_002410_YSHTOLA Of course. We all recognized you at once. 'Twas Papalymo who persuaded us to maintain the charade.
258 254 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03500_002420_YDA It was silly to think I could fool you. I knew that even then. But I...I sort of...decided not to know.
259 255 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03500_002430_YDA Yda died six years ago, on a mission to smuggle refugees out of Ala Mhigo. They say she was overwhelmed by imperial soldiers when she stayed behind to save a little girl. She was so strong... There must have been a lot of them.
260 256 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03500_Q3_000_001_NONE_VOICE What will you say?
261 257 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03500_A3_000_001_NONE_VOICE Why did you never tell me?
262 258 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03500_A3_000_002_NONE_VOICE ...
263 259 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03500_002440_YDA (-Lyse-)I'm sorry for lying to you. My real name is Lyse.
264 260 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03500_002450_YDA (-Lyse-)When Papalymo brought me Yda's mask, it was meant as a keepsake. But I decided I wanted to be his new partner; to keep alive all the good that she had done.
265 261 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03500_002460_YDA (-Lyse-)I didn't want to <Emphasis>become</Emphasis> Yda, exactly... At the time, though, I still didn't know who I was myself, and it almost seemed easier to play the role.
266 262 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03500_002470_YDA (-Lyse-)Papalymo agreed to help, of course...but it was never what he wanted for me. He wanted me to walk my own path. And those were his final words to me.
267 263 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03500_002480_YDA (-Lyse-)The Archon's mark he gave me is faded, and my last excuse along with it.
268 264 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03500_002490_YDA (-Lyse-)So, this is it. Whatever I choose to do from now on, I do as Lyse. ...And I choose to continue my family's fight. I want Ala Mhigo to be the country that Yda and my father always wanted it to be!
269 265 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03500_002500_YUGIRI War is upon us once more.
270 266 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03500_002510_GOSETSU Do you regret standing against the Empire? Would you have chosen a different road, knowing what you know now?
271 267 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03500_002520_YUGIRI To claim that I never doubted the decision would be a lie. But I made my choice, and I have defended it with blade in hand ever since.
272 268 TEXT_VOICEMAN_03500_002530_GOSETSU The battle continues, and our steel is needed. Come, shadow walker! We leave for the East─for Doma!

7 3 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04000_000040_ALPHINAUD It's about time! Pray summon the others at once.
8 4 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04000_000050_TATARU Yes, sir!
9 5 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04000_000060_ALPHINAUD ...General Aldynn reports that his forces have secured the breach in Baelsar's Wall.
10 6 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04000_000070_YSHTOLA And what of the primal and Omega?
11 7 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04000_000080_ALPHINAUD There is still no sign of either at this time. He writes that they will begin a more thorough investigation shortly...

13 9 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04000_000100_LYSE (-Lyse-)As expected?
14 10 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04000_000110_ALPHINAUD The Alliance's decision to capture a part of Baelsar's Wall is...open to interpretation.
15 11 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04000_000120_ALISAIE The Wall serves to demarcate imperial territory, Ala Mhigo included, from the rest of Eorzea.
16 12 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04000_000130_ALISAIE To an observer, the Alliance's actions could be seen as a prelude to invasion.
17 13 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04000_000140_ALPHINAUD Indeed. And the Alliance leaders have no wish to be branded invaders.
18 14 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04000_000150_LYSE (-Lyse-)You're saying they won't fight for Ala Mhigo? Even after everything that's happened?
19 15 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04000_000160_ALPHINAUD Not without the consent of her people, no. Make no mistake, Lyse─the Alliance is in complete agreement that the Empire must be purged from Eorzea.
20 16 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04000_000170_ALPHINAUD However, they will not set foot in Gyr Abania until they have formally secured the consent and cooperation of the Ala Mhigan opposition.
21 17 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04000_000180_YSHTOLA ...They would have us act as intermediaries?
22 18 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04000_000190_ALPHINAUD Precisely. The Scions are uniquely qualified to serve in this capacity─that is to say, Lyse is, given her personal connection to the Resistance.
23 19 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04000_000200_ALPHINAUD Who better than you to broker an agreement between the Alliance and the people of Ala Mhigo? ...Assuming you are willing, of course?
24 20 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04000_000210_LYSE (-Lyse-)Of course I am. You know I'd like nothing more!
25 21 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04000_000220_ALPHINAUD As for who should accompany you on said diplomatic mission...I had a mind to volunteer myself.
26 22 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04000_000230_LYSE (-Lyse-)Well, that covers the talking part. But you just know there'll be trouble along the way. Are you available?

31 27 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04000_000250_LYSE (-Lyse-)Look, I know I've kept things from you, and I'm sorry, I really am. But that's all over now, I swear. And...it'd mean a lot to me, having you at my side.
32 28 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04000_000260_YSHTOLA I too shall accompany you. Such endeavors are seldom hampered by a surfeit of healers.

44 40 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04000_000380_YUGIRI It begins, then─as soon it shall in Doma, if the gods are good. 'Tis but a pity that it must be now. I am sorry that we shall not be present to fight beside you in the battles to come...

46 42 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04000_000400_YUGIRI Then let us thank you instead. You and yours stood with us from the first, when we came to this land as refugees in search of sanctuary.
47 43 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04000_000410_YUGIRI Loath am I to think what might have become of my people had you not extended to us the hand of friendship. We will never forget─this I solemnly swear.
48 44 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04000_000420_ALPHINAUD Much has changed since first you set foot on these shores. Revenant's Toll stands as a testament to that. I am sure your people will manage in your absence.
49 45 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04000_000430_YUGIRI Indeed. They have built a new home for themselves, and no longer need me to shepherd them. The time has come for Gosetsu and I to return to our master─to our home.
50 46 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04000_000440_LYSE (-Lyse-)I know how you feel. It's time I went home too...
51 47 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04000_000450_GOSETSU Though our battlefields be a thousand malms apart, our purpose is one! Let all men hearken to the clarion call of freedom─of liberation─from Eorzea to the Far East, that they may rise up and cast down the curs of Garlemald!
52 48 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04000_000460_LYSE (-Lyse-)Take care, you hear me? When all of this is over, we're going to celebrate─together─just you wait!
53 49 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04000_000470_YUGIRI I should like that very much. Fare you well.
54 50 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04000_000480_LYSENARRATION I remember crossing the border. Standing in Gyr Abania once more. Me and my fellow Scions...the Warrior of Light among us.
55 51 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04000_000490_LYSENARRATION Behind us, Baelsar's Wall, cutting the land in two. Freedom on one side, tyranny on the other.
56 52 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04000_000500_LYSENARRATION Tyranny...and the promise of a new beginning. But one that could only be bought with flames and blood.
57 53 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04000_000510_LYSENARRATION I remember the old stories. How the breaker of worlds came down from on high and cleft the earth with a single blow.
58 54 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04000_000520_LYSENARRATION Rhalgr's Reach. A holy place, and a fitting home for the Resistance. For the brave and the true, the loyal sons and daughters of Ala Mhigo.
59 55 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04000_000530_LYSENARRATION They were waiting for us there. Men and women whose souls still cried out for what was lost. For what could be ours again.
60 56 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04000_000540_CONRAD Allow me to welcome you once more to Rhalgr's Reach, our humble headquarters.
61 57 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04000_000550_CONRAD My name is Conrad Kemp, and I have the dubious honor of overseeing operations here.
62 58 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04000_000560_ALPHINAUD It is a pleasure to meet you, Master Kemp. I am Alphinaud Leveilleur, of the Scions of the Seventh Dawn, as are my comrades.
63 59 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04000_000570_ALPHINAUD Before I speak of our purpose here, pray allow me to thank you for sheltering Yda─forgive me─Lyse and Papalymo at great risk to yourselves.
64 60 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04000_000580_CONRAD Now, now, there's no need for that. They risked their necks for us enough times. 'Twas the least we could do.
65 61 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04000_000590_LYSE I-I wanted to... I mean, about the mask and...
66 62 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04000_000600_CONRAD Ahhh, don't fret over that. You're not the first person to take up arms against the Empire under a false name. We'd do the same if we had any sense. ...My condolences for your loss, child.
67 63 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04000_000610_LYSE ...Papalymo laid down his life to save us─to give us a chance to make a better future for ourselves.
68 64 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04000_000620_LYSE There will never be a better time to drive the Garleans from our lands. But we have to take the lead on this─we can't leave it to fanatics like Ilberd.
69 65 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04000_000630_CONRAD More than a few of our people were taken in by his promises. Followed him all the way to the Wall. Good men and women who never came back.
70 66 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04000_000640_CONRAD When M'naago told us what had happened─how the bastard had made sacrifices of them for his twisted ritual─by Rhalgr, it filled me with an unholy fury... But what's done is done. Best we can do now is see that it wasn't all in vain.
71 67 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04000_000650_ALPHINAUD That is why we are here today, sir─to see that some good comes of this tragedy.
72 68 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04000_000660_ALPHINAUD On behalf of the Eorzean Alliance, we do hereby extend a formal offer of military assistance to the Ala Mhigan Resistance.
73 69 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04000_000670_CONRAD Do you, now? Well, go on then. I'm sure there's more to it than that.
74 70 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04000_000680_CONRAD ...So that's the way of it, eh? The Alliance, hoping to avoid a direct confrontation with the superior forces of the Empire, wishes to engage them by proxy with our vastly inferior ones?
75 71 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04000_000690_CONRAD My comrades and I must confer on your proposal. A moment, if you please...
76 72 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04000_000700_ALPHINAUD Of course, Master Kemp. Take all the time you require.
77 73 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04000_000710_CONRAD Thank you all for waiting. We have reached a consensus.
78 74 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04000_000720_CONRAD I, Conrad Kemp, do hereby accept the Eorzean Alliance's proposal. You must understand, however, that our cooperation comes with certain caveats.
79 75 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04000_000730_ALPHINAUD Those caveats being...?
80 76 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04000_000740_CONRAD I take no joy in this, just so you know. Were it within my power, I'd offer you more assistance.
81 77 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04000_000750_CONRAD But the Resistance is far more fragmented than you realize. The men and women in my care belong to but one of many factions.
82 78 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04000_000760_CONRAD Simply put, I can only speak for the people of Rhalgr's Reach.
83 79 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04000_000770_CONRAD Now, I have every intention of appealing to the others, and I expect many will agree─but it will take time, and I cannot guarantee universal support.
84 80 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04000_000780_ALPHINAUD Understood. I shall see that the Alliance is under no misapprehensions as to your position.
85 81 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04000_000790_CONRAD Much obliged...but that's not the whole of it. As you can imagine, the loss of those who cast their lot with the Griffin left us short on numbers.
86 82 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04000_000800_CONRAD Some of our most trusted veterans died at the Wall, and we've had to fill their posts with the young and inexperienced. Frankly, everything's in a right bloody mess.
87 83 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04000_000810_LYSE Oh, we'd be more than happy to help you get back on your feet. If we're going to work together, we'll be doing ourselves a favor!
88 84 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04000_000820_CONRAD Well, there's no shortage of work to be done, that's for sure. We're in dire need of new blood too.
89 85 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04000_000830_KRILE Y'shtola and I could lend a hand in the infirmary. From what I saw, they could do with a few more healers.
90 86 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04000_000840_ALPHINAUD Very well. I for my part shall return to the Rising Stones. I am certain there are others among the Scions who would welcome the opportunity to fight for Ala Mhigan liberation.
91 87 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04000_000850_LYSE Um... Is there anything else we can do to help?
92 88 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04000_000860_CONRAD I had something else in mind for you lot. M'naago and Meffrid will tell you more.
93 89 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04000_000870_LYSE Understood. We won't let you down.
94 90 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04000_000880_RAUBAHN It is good to see you again, my friends. I hope you are here to tell me you have made contact with the Resistance?
95 91 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04000_000890_ALISAIE We are, General.
96 92 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04000_000900_ALISAIE Allow me to introduce M'naago, of Rhalgr's Reach.
97 93 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04000_000910_MNAAGO At your service, sir! And may I say what an absolute honor it is to stand before the Bull of Ala Mhigo!
98 94 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04000_000920_RAUBAHN These are not the bloodsands, girl. You and I are but soldiers on a battlefield fighting for the same cause.
99 95 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04000_000930_MNAAGO A-As you say, General!
100 96 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04000_000940_MNAAGO Ahem. On behalf of Commander Kemp of the Ala Mhigan Resistance, I present to you our formal response.
101 97 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04000_000950_RAUBAHN ...Good. I am glad we have reached an accord. Though I was not aware you had suffered such losses.
102 98 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04000_000960_MNAAGO Aye... Some of our finest took part in the Griffin's doomed assault, and we've been struggling to find new recruits ever since.
103 99 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04000_000970_MNAAGO The massacre has cast a pall over the whole Resistance, and many who might once have been open to joining us have since thought better of it.
104 100 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04000_000980_ALISAIE After all of the Griffin's false promises, one can hardly blame them. They have no desire to give their lives for a lost cause.
105 101 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04000_000990_RAUBAHN We will not lie to them. This is war, and lives will be lost. Yet what we offer is not the fever dream of a madman, but true hope.
106 102 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04000_001000_PIPIN The people need proof of this, Father. Let us show it to them.
107 103 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04000_001010_PIPIN I say we stand shoulder to shoulder with our new allies and engage the Garleans in open warfare. The Resistance must demonstrate that they can hold their own against imperial regulars, and with our assistance, I am confident they can do just that.
108 104 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04000_001020_PIPIN If we can achieve even a token victory, I believe it will serve to rekindle the hope of the Ala Mhigan people, and inspire them to rise up once more.
109 105 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04000_001030_MNAAGO Aye, aye... Once word spread that we'd won a battle against the Garleans, I wager we'd have new recruits flocking to us from malms around. The question is, when and where do we strike?
110 106 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04000_001040_PIPIN I'm glad you asked. I have a plan...
111 107 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04000_001050_GRYNEWAHT Things looked grim for us after Carteneau, didn't they? Oh, how they doubted us... Yet here we are, right as rain, with fancy new toys to put through their paces...

114 110 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04000_001080_GRYNEWAHT That is, if my secret weapons here don't grind it into mush! ATTAAACK!

46 42 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04001_000410_HANCOCK I am told your friends were not so easily deterred from their course, but I know not whether their persistence bore fruit.
47 43 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04001_000420_ALPHINAUD I say we follow in Yugiri and Gosetsu's footsteps and attempt to secure passage to Doma for ourselves. We will need to cross the sea in any case, and we may learn something of their whereabouts in the process.
48 44 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04001_000430_ALPHINAUD And should we find that they are still in Kugane, we can make the journey together.
49 45 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04001_000440_HANCOCK In that case, I have some information which may be of use to you. No quid pro quo, I assure you─the chairman was most insistent that I aid you to the best of my ability...

53 49 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04001_000480_GYODO The ship, the ship... So very sorry to inform you, yes, yes. Long before was it pledged to another.

55 51 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04001_000500_LYSE <sigh> I knew it couldn't be this simple...

60 56 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04001_000550_SOROBAN (-Curious Kojin-)Stay hidden and quiet. Understood?
61 57 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04001_000560_SEKISHINTAISOLDIER Clear the road! Clear the road!
62 58 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04001_000570_SEKISHINTAISOLDIER You there, Kojin! We seek four foreigners─one a brutish woman carrying an unconscious Namazu. Have you seen them?
63 59 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04001_000580_SOROBAN (-Curious Kojin-)Four foreigners, you say? Ah, yes! Very rude they were, making no apology as they barged past. They went that way, I think.
64 60 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04001_000590_SEKISHINTAISOLDIER Many thanks, good sir!
65 61 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04001_000600_SEKISHINTAISOLDIER With me! They cannot have gone far!
66 62 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04001_000610_SOROBAN (-Curious Kojin-)All is well. The Sekiseigumi will not return this way for some time, I should think.
67 63 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04001_000620_SOROBAN (-Curious Kojin-)You are of the East Aldenard Trading Company, yes? Come with me. I know a safer way.
68 64 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04001_000630_HANCOCK You are returned─and with guests, I see.
69 65 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04001_000640_LYSE Our meeting went about as well as expected. We've brought the Namazu who thought to betray us. When he wakes up, we'll see what he knows about Yugiri and Gosetsu.
70 66 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04001_000650_HANCOCK Well done you. When I saw the Sekiseigumi out in force, I did begin to worry, but I see my fears were misplaced.
71 67 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04001_000660_LYSE Actually, if it weren't for Soroban, we might not've gotten away...
72 68 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04001_000670_SOROBAN 'Twas my pleasure.
73 69 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04001_000680_ALPHINAUD Yet I must ask, Soroban: why would you deceive the Sekiseigumi to help us─foreigners of whom you know naught?
74 70 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04001_000690_SOROBAN Why, out of the kindness of my heart...is what I would like to say, but my motives are not so pure.
75 71 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04001_000700_SOROBAN I chanced to witness your meeting with Hancock at the tavern, and saw an opportunity.
76 72 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04001_000710_HANCOCK An opportunity?
77 73 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04001_000720_SOROBAN Like many, I came to Kugane as a trader to make my fortune. Kojin of the Red may serve the Empire as mercenaries, but Kojin of the Blue walk a different path.
78 74 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04001_000730_SOROBAN Regretfully, most here would rather not meet our gaze, much less do business.
79 75 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04001_000740_SOROBAN So I seek the custom of those less predisposed to dismiss us outright. Namely, the East Aldenard Trading Company.
80 76 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04001_000750_ALPHINAUD Quid pro quo, is it? Well, there is no denying that we owe you a debt. What say you, Hancock? Will you consider doing business with our entrepreneurial friend here?
81 77 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04001_000760_HANCOCK Rest assured, Master Soroban, that in matters of trade the company does not discriminate. We would be honored to hear your proposal.
82 78 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04001_000770_SOROBAN I promise you will not regret this, good sir!
83 79 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04001_000780_SOROBAN Ah, yes─you sought passage across the Ruby Sea, did you not? I have a ship you can use.
84 80 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04001_000790_ALPHINAUD You do? Well, then! Far be it from us to refuse! You have our deepest thanks.
85 81 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04001_000800_SOROBAN And you mine!
86 82 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04001_000810_GOSETSU Have at you! AAAHHH!

88 84 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04001_000830_LYSE That was Gosetsu! I'm sure of it! He's in trouble!
89 85 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04001_000840_ALISAIE Lyse, wai─ <sigh> ...I suppose we should follow her, then.
90 86 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04001_000850_SEKISHINTAISOLDIER Victory to the samurai!
91 87 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04001_000860_GOSETSU Hah hah hah hah hah! How many is that, now? Ten in a row?
92 88 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04001_000870_LYSE Gosetsu!
93 89 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04001_000880_GOSETSU Oho! This is a surprise! What in blue blazes are you three doing here?
94 90 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04001_000890_LYSE I could ask you the same thing! We've been looking all over for you─and then I suddenly heard you screaming!
95 91 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04001_000900_GOSETSU Hmm... It would seem there has been a misunderstanding. Allow me to explain...
96 92 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04001_000910_ALISAIE ...So, in summary: you started a brawl with some off-duty imperial soldiers and were subsequently arrested by the Sekiseigumi, whom you somehow befriended and convinced to set you free if you could defeat a given number of them in single combat?
97 93 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04001_000920_GOSETSU Ten bouts for my freedom, aye! 'Tis but a pity you came too late to witness the last one.
98 94 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04001_000930_GOSETSU And with that, I am free to go, yes?
99 95 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04001_000940_SEKISHINTAISOLDIER Our word, once given, may not be broken─but we pray you make every effort to avoid future altercations.
100 96 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04001_000950_SEKISHINTAISOLDIER Circumstances notwithstanding, my lord, we are honored and grateful to have witnessed firsthand the skill of a Doman samurai.
101 97 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04001_000960_HANCOCK Ah. And we had just concluded negotiations. I gather my assistance was not required?
102 98 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04001_000970_LYSENARRATION I remember the water. How it turned crimson in the morning sun.
103 99 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04001_000980_LYSENARRATION A shimmering sea of rubies, stretching from horizon to horizon. You could almost believe it went on forever...

4 0 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04002_000010_TANSUI Gentlemen! I am told you were most unreceptive to my associate's requests.
5 1 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04002_000020_TANSUI I realize you do not look kindly on the Confederacy and her ways. But if you refuse to pay the Ruby Tithe, your safety in these waters cannot be assured.
6 2 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04002_000030_GARLEANLEADERDOMA Spare me your concern, pirate. Your feeble attempts at extortion will not work on us.
7 3 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04002_000040_GARLEANLEADERDOMA You remain at large because we allow it─because you are such insignificant little pests that we see no need to swat you.
8 4 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04002_000050_GARLEANLEADERDOMA But if you wish to risk the ire of the viceroy, by all means, fire upon an imperial vessel. Give us a reason to bring the full might of the Garlean Empire to bear against your pathetic fleet.
9 5 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04002_000060_TESHITAPIRATE Bastards!
10 6 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04002_000070_TANSUI Gentlemen. Surely the fact that you have such limitless resources at your disposal gives you all the more reason to spare some few coins for the less fortunate?
11 7 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04002_000080_GARLEANLEADERDOMA All talk, just as I thought. Come─let us away. I have no time for this rubbish.
12 8 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04002_000090_LYSE We're all the same to them, aren't we? Savages to be ruled or slaughtered.
13 9 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04002_000100_TANSUI They've always balked at paying the Ruby Tithe. But they were never so eager to pick a fight...
14 10 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04002_000110_TANSUI The problem, you see, is that many of my comrades in the Confederacy are of Doman descent─and the acting viceroy...well, she's none too fond of Domans, to say the least.
15 11 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04002_000120_TANSUI If we take any action to hinder the safe passage of an imperial vessel, she'll accuse us of attempting to foment rebellion and brand us enemies of the Empire─which we can ill afford to be. Like the man said, we're all talk.
16 12 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04002_000130_ALISAIE And where do the Kojin stand in all this?
17 13 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04002_000140_TANSUI With the winning side, of course. They are mercenaries to a fault, eager to offer their services without coercion.
18 14 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04002_000150_TANSUI The shellback could tell you more...though something tells me he would rather not.
19 15 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04002_000160_LYSE I don't understand. If the Garleans are causing the Confederacy this much trouble─and if so many of you are Doman to begin with─why aren't you willing to fight back?
20 16 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04002_000170_TANSUI Hahaha! Spoken like a true friend of the Doman Liberation Front.
21 17 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04002_000180_TANSUI If you're planning to rouse us with noble words and grand promises─don't bother. We all know what the imperial army can do. Compared to them, we're boys with boats.
22 18 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04002_000190_TANSUI Besides, what ties a man may once have held to his home are forsaken upon joining the Confederacy. We look out for none but our own.
23 19 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04002_000200_TANSUI Be that as it may, our livelihood is under threat, and the captain will need to decide soon whether we are to go down in a blaze of glory or bow and scrape for crumbs from the Emperor's table.
24 20 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04002_000210_TANSUI ...All while our friend the viceroy continues her purge of Doma's “radical elements.” I believe she's holding court in one of the fishing villages even as we speak.
25 21 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04002_000220_GOSETSU That she-devil! Her perfidy knows no bounds!
26 22 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04002_000230_GOSETSU She must be stopped. Come, let us find Soroban and put to sea at once!
27 23 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04002_000240_TANSUI Tell the others that these ones have paid. We all have places to be.
28 24 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04002_000250_ALISAIE Even accounting for the rebellion, such indiscriminate shows of force seem pointlessly excessive...
29 25 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04002_000260_GOSETSU If only you knew how commonplace such scenes have become. Hmm... Are we too late?
30 26 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04002_000270_LYSE Over there─someone's coming!
31 27 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04002_000280_GOSETSU ...It is she! Sworn enemy of Doma─of my master! The traitor who sold her homeland to the Garleans─Yotsuyu!
32 28 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04002_000290_LYSE The viceroy herself. And look─behind her! Isn't that...?
33 29 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04002_000300_YOTSUYU Filth and squalor everywhere I look. How very Doman. What I wouldn't do for a drink...
34 30 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04002_000310_YOTSUYU Come now, you've no reason to look so afraid! You have lived through a quarter of a century of Garlean rule, remember?
35 31 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04002_000320_YOTSUYU 'Tis better to bend with the wind than stand tall and be broken. Therein lies...hope. Therein lies freedom.
36 32 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04002_000330_YOTSUYU I come before you today seeking affirmation. A heartfelt declaration. You are free to answer me as you see fit─yet even the least among you should know the correct response. Should.
37 33 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04002_000340_YOTSUYU A resident of your village─one of your neighbors, mayhap your friend─was detained by the Kojin this morning. They say he was attempting to flee to Kugane, but we both know that simply isn't true, don't we? Have you anything to say?
38 34 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04002_000350_YOTSUYU ...A bit slow, this one. Is there anyone more sensible among you? Have any of you anything to say? To swear?
39 35 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04002_000360_E3F1VILLAGER M-My lady, I...I swear to serve the Empire! To do...whatever is asked of me...and never disobey...
40 36 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04002_000370_YOTSUYU Well said that man. Of course...it wouldn't do to simply take you at your word.
41 37 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04002_000380_YOTSUYU Kill him. Surely you can do that much? He must be guilty of something or other, or he wouldn't have attempted to flee the Empire.
42 38 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04002_000390_E3F1VILLAGER I...I have a family... Kami forgive me... Kami forgive me...
43 39 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04002_000400_YOTSUYU Very, very good! I've always had a soft spot for men like you.
44 40 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04002_000410_YOTSUYU Next, I want you to shoot those two over there. Too old to work, you understand─a burden on the Empire, and we can't have that.
45 41 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04002_000420_E3F1VILLAGER But...they're my parents. You can't expect me to...
46 42 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04002_000430_E3F1VILLAGER Ugh... Ngh... Grrraaagh!
47 43 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04002_Q1_000_001_NONE_VOICE What will you say?
48 44 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04002_A1_000_001_NONE_VOICE ...We will show them no mercy.
49 45 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04002_A1_000_002_NONE_VOICE We can't. Not now.
50 46 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04002_000440_ALISAIE Stop and think for a moment! If you go charging in now, every one of those villagers is as good as dead!
51 47 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04002_000450_ALISAIE <If(PlayerParameter(4))>She's<Else/>He's</If> right. They would simply take the villagers hostage.
52 48 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04002_000460_ALISAIE We must consider the wider picture. If we act recklessly, we risk alerting the Garleans to our presence here, making it that much harder for us to work with the local rebels─to say nothing of the reprisals ordinary civilians would be made to suffer.
53 49 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04002_000470_GOSETSU Open your eyes, girl─they are already suffering! Let me go─I am putting an end to this madness!
54 50 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04002_000480_GOSETSU I will approach the village alone and identify myself. As a former leader of the rebellion and a known fugitive, they will wish to detain me until they are certain they have learned all I know. Use this time to make your plans!
55 51 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04002_000490_LYSE You saw what those monsters did to the villagers! Who knows what they'll do to you─assuming they don't kill you where you stand!
56 52 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04002_000500_GOSETSU We live and die at the pleasure of the kami. My fate is in their hands, and no other's. If it be of any comfort, I am no stranger to chains.
57 53 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04002_000510_LYSE You can't expect us to stand idly by as a comrade goes marching off to his death! And this is nothing like Kugane!
58 54 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04002_000520_ALISAIE ...Nor is it like the Reach, Lyse─or the Wall. Let him go.
59 55 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04002_000530_ALISAIE Hold out for as long as you can, but remember: noble sacrifices are to remain an absolute last resort. I wish I could say it won't come to that, but only the gods know how we're going to get you and the others out in one piece. A miracle, perchance...
60 56 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04002_000540_GOSETSU A great tower stands to the north and east. Look to its occupants for aid and succor. Together, you may yet find your miracle.
61 57 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04002_000550_GOSETSU Now, leave this place. I must go.
62 58 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04002_000560_YOTSUYU Tsk tsk... Another idiot like all the rest. I'm beginning to think it may be something fundamental, something intrinsic, something quintessentially Doman to ignore the simple truth: you can't do a damn thing if you're dead.
63 59 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04002_000570_GOSETSU Enough, Yotsuyu!
64 60 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04002_000580_YOTSUYU Well now...this is a surprise.
65 61 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04002_000590_GOSETSU Hear me, Yotsuyu: cease this farce, here and now, and I shall surrender myself to you. Refuse, and all shall answer to my blade.
66 62 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04002_000600_YOTSUYU ...Bring him to the tavern.
67 63 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04002_000610_TANSUI Our most compassionate acquaintances return. For your deeds, we owe you many thanks.
68 64 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04002_000620_TANSUI ...But something tells me our thanks are not sufficient. The strange thing is, I was certain you understood our position. And yet here you are with that same look in your eyes─and those same words upon your lips, I'll wager.
69 65 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04002_000630_ALISAIE I speak only the truth. The Confederacy will not be spared Yotsuyu's wrath. You have always known this─that one day you would have no choice but to stand up to the Empire. I say to you that day is today, and come once more to ask that you join us in the fight.
70 66 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04002_000640_TANSUI How convenient that recent events should lend such credence to your claims. Tell me, do death and destruction always follow in your wake?
71 67 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04002_000650_RASHO They had no part in it, Tansui. You know this. We all know this.
72 68 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04002_000660_RASHO They came and took our Doman brothers. They will torture them for her sport─murder them for her satisfaction.
73 69 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04002_000670_RASHO So we attack, and get butchered for our trouble...or do naught, and let them have their pound of flesh.
74 70 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04002_000680_RASHO If this be our choice, I say we suffer the ignominy. We endure. We survive. There is no better path.
75 71 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04002_000690_RASHO Until the day our enemy is grown weaker, and we stronger, there can be no retribution. We will wait for a sign. Such is the judgment of the Confederacy.
76 72 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04002_000700_LYSE So that's it, then. You're just going to abandon them. To her.
77 73 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04002_000710_LYSE They'd die for you, you know─for the Confederacy. They would die for you, but you wouldn't even think to risk your lives for theirs!
78 74 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04002_000720_ALISAIE I have one last idea, if you will allow. I'm afraid it's not very good as ideas go─it's exceedingly reckless, in fact, and you may well come to despise me for ever having suggested it. Assuming we survive, that is.
79 75 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04002_000730_ALISAIE The question being: do you trust me?
80 76 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04002_Q2_000_001_NONE_VOICE What will you say?
81 77 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04002_A2_000_001_NONE_VOICE Do you even need to ask?
82 78 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04002_A2_000_002_NONE_VOICE Ask me again later.
83 79 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04002_000740_LYSE We can't stand by and let innocent people suffer─here or anywhere else. I'll do whatever it takes.
84 80 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04002_000750_ALISAIE Then let us roll the dice.
85 81 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04002_000760_ALISAIE If it's a sign you want, we shall give you one. One rousing enough to make you drive every Garlean out of Isari without a second thought.
86 82 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04002_000770_ALISAIE You are wary of invoking the ire of the imperial forces stationed in Doma, correct?
87 83 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04002_000780_ALISAIE Know then that once we have rescued our comrade and freed Isari, we mean to liberate the nation as a whole.
88 84 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04002_000790_ALISAIE You will doubtless require assurances that we are capable of achieving this─and that is only fair. Accordingly, we shall demonstrate our seriousness by depriving the Garleans of a key ally: the Kojin.
89 85 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04002_000800_TANSUI What, the three of you? Just like that?
90 86 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04002_000810_ALISAIE Actually, my esteemed colleague here will attend to it on <If(PlayerParameter(4))>her<Else/>his</If> own. But the how of it is not your concern─only the outcome.
91 87 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04002_000820_ALISAIE If we succeed, you help us liberate Isari. If we fail, you lose nothing. A simple enough wager─if you have the stones for it.
92 88 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04002_000830_TANSUI The little miss does make it hard to refuse, does she not?
93 89 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04002_000840_RASHO Words are air. We will weigh you by your deeds.
94 90 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04002_000850_ALISAIE Is that light I see up ahead?
95 91 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04002_000860_LYSE [SURPRISED GASP REAX]
96 92 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04002_000870_ALISAIE We, uh...appear to be standing inside a giant bubble. By the Twelve...I think we're on the seabed!
97 93 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04002_000880_SOROBAN Well, well! I thought I heard familiar voices.
98 94 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04002_000890_LYSE Soroban? What are you doing here?
99 95 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04002_000900_SOROBAN Hmm? What a curious question. I live here.
100 96 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04002_000910_LYSE Then this is the home of the Blue Kojin?
101 97 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04002_000920_SOROBAN Just so. I bid you welcome to Tamamizu!
102 98 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04002_000930_BUNCHIN Welcome, guests. Gratitude to you for aiding Soroban in his negotiations.
103 99 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04002_000940_ALISAIE We thank you for your hospitality, honored elder. Pray forgive me my brevity, but I wish to discuss an urgent matter...
104 100 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04002_000950_BUNCHIN So...you seek to compel our Red brothers to forego hostilities for a time.
105 101 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04002_000960_LYSE That's right. We know your two clans have your...differences, but what with you being...brothers and all, we thought you might be able to share some...secret knowledge...or something?
106 102 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04002_000970_BUNCHIN From far above, you have journeyed here in search of our wisdom. You shall have it.
107 103 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04002_000980_BUNCHIN All creation is a tapestry, through which the divine is interwoven. Kami are legion, and they can be found in the great and the small.
108 104 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04002_000990_BUNCHIN Though they come and go as they please, they favor certain vessels. The ancient. The precious. The exquisite.
109 105 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04002_001000_BUNCHIN We Kojin covet these vessels, these treasures. We go forth and bring them home, to keep them safe and bask in their divinity. They bring prosperity and joy to us and our children.
110 106 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04002_001010_BUNCHIN Yet how were we to seek these treasures above if we made enemies of the Garlean Empire, powerful and far-reaching as they are?
111 107 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04002_001020_BUNCHIN Wiser to join with them. So resolved the Red Kojin.
112 108 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04002_001030_SOROBAN Cautiously and carefully, for the Garleans are blind to the divine. Nor will they suffer their subjects to see.
113 109 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04002_001040_SOROBAN So the Red masquerade as mercenaries who seek money and power and never speak of their faith in the presence of their masters.
114 110 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04002_001050_SOROBAN To honor the divine, they deny it. A twisted and misguided path.
115 111 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04002_001060_BUNCHIN Aye, aye. Kami will not abide such foolishness, this they shall learn to their sorrow.
116 112 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04002_001070_BUNCHIN While our Red brothers live by the sword, we Blue Kojin uphold the old ways, engaging in trade and valuing peace.
117 113 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04002_001080_BUNCHIN Alas, men distinguish not between our clans, and judgment for the doings of the Red falls unjustly upon the Blue. Thus do men grow more and more reluctant to deal with us, denying us our treasures. This cannot continue!
118 114 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04002_001090_ALISAIE On that point we are in agreement. You are willing to aid our cause, then?
119 115 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04002_001100_BUNCHIN There is a way that the Red may be driven to retreat into their shells.
120 116 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04002_001110_BUNCHIN But to share with you this knowledge is to reveal secrets of the divine. Assurances must first be had. Trust forged. A bargain struck.
121 117 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04002_001120_SOROBAN Well said, Elder! In great crises is great profit to be had!
122 118 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04002_001130_BUNCHIN Delight not overmuch in such things, Soroban. Now, tell our guests what must be done.
123 119 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04002_001140_SOROBAN As you wish!
124 120 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04002_001150_LYSE Well, I've no idea what we've gotten ourselves into, but so far, so good, right?
125 121 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04002_001160_SOROBAN It is done. Your offerings have been given to the sea.
126 122 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04002_001170_SOROBAN The ritual can begin at last. Come and stand before me, my friends.
127 123 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04002_001180_SOROBAN Yes, yes. Listen to my words, and let all else wash away. Listen to my words, and feel them flow into your heart...at first a trickle, then a flood...
128 124 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04002_001190_SOROBAN O kami of the fathomless waters, Of the fallen, the ascended, the flowing, and the becalmed, Caretakers of the shallows and of the depths...
129 125 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04002_001200_SOROBAN Receive of us our meager offerings, Cleanse these ones of earth and stone, and grant them your blessing, That they might drink deep of the divine...
130 126 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04002_001210_SOROBAN The ritual is complete, my friends. You may now breathe in the depths as you would upon land.
131 127 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04002_001220_ALISAIE Strange. I don't feel any different. Are you sure it worked?
132 128 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04002_001230_SOROBAN ...Reasonably. The blessing does have its limits, of course. While it will allow you to dwell in the depths, it will not help you traverse them.
133 129 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04002_001240_LYSE I can swim well enough. How about you, Alisaie?
134 130 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04002_001250_ALISAIE Oh, like a fish. In contrast to my doggy-paddling brother.

158 154 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04002_001460_YOTSUYU Not that you were a stranger to living with disgrace, of course. In the, what was it, twenty-five years since you were humiliated and tossed into an imperial gaol, you had plenty of time to get used to it.
159 155 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04002_001470_YOTSUYU Oh yes, I heard the stories. About the samurai who would do anything to return to his master's side─even if it meant pledging his blade to his sworn enemy. They say he walked with death─that he slew a thousand men in the Empire's name. Truly a tale for the poets.

162 158 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04002_001500_YOTSUYU So let us not dwell on the past, you and I, and instead give thought to the future. To wit, I would ask you again to help me resolve this vexing matter of Doma's missing heir.
163 159 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04002_001510_YOTSUYU Living or dead, it makes no difference really─but the Garleans are most insistent that we put this problem behind us, and I know you helped him flee. So, tell me: what became of Lord Hien?
164 160 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04002_001520_GOSETSU To my dismay, the details escape me at present. Mayhap your dog could jog my memory?

198 194 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04002_001820_TANSUI Well, Captain...wagers notwithstanding, I daresay we will not have a better opportunity to drive the imperials from Isari and rescue our men.
199 195 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04002_001830_TANSUI On the other hand, naught was put in writing... But if your mind is made up, then that is that.

237 233 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04002_002210_RASHO We took some few casualties, but my deeper regret is having let Yotsuyu slip through my fingers. That bodyguard of hers may be a half-wit, but he's a mean bastard on the battlefield.
238 234 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04002_002220_TANSUI In any event, I imagine all involved are satisfied with this outcome. So far as the Empire is concerned, the Confederacy attacked Isari in retaliation for the viceroy's actions─and without the aid of insurrectionists, I might add.

258 254 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04002_002370_YOTSUYU So this is why you abandoned your posts─and without a word of explanation at that. Rather thoughtless of you, was it not?

284 280 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04002_002630_GOSETSU I know not who you are to speak thus to your elders, boy, but mine only desire is to be received with the hospitality owed a humble traveler─not the fear and trepidation one might afford a wrathful shade!
285 281 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04002_002640_ISSE (-Flustered Youth-)What? What are you going on about? Actually, never mind. Just come with me─now!
286 282 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04002_002650_LYSE This is the House of the Fierce? But there are so few of them...
287 283 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04002_002660_GOSETSU Many kindred spirits remain in hiding following the rebellion. Many others gave their lives for their nation. We are the stubborn remainder.
288 284 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04002_002670_GOSETSU Even accounting for our comrades in the field, we are at a fraction of our former strength, 'tis true. Yet we few are patriots─brothers-in-arms, prepared to fight with every fiber of our being to set our people free.
289 285 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04002_002680_YUGIRI Ever are we hopeful that others will join our cause. But never did I dream that you would journey so far.
290 286 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04002_002690_LYSE Yugiri! Gods, it's good to see you! You look great, by the way! Have you been here long?
291 287 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04002_002700_YUGIRI I returned but recently, having concluded my mission. Oh, it is good to see you again, my friends.
292 288 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04002_002710_GOSETSU Did I hear aright? Your mission is concluded? Then you have found the young master?
293 289 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04002_002720_YUGIRI Ere we speak of that, I would know by what fortuitous circumstance our friends came to be here.
294 290 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04002_002730_YUGIRI The Empire's crimes are all too familiar. Lyse─my heart goes out to your people.
295 291 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04002_002740_LYSE We wanted to stay and fight, believe me, but we knew it wouldn't work. We needed more time to rebuild─and more allies to stand with us against the Empire.
296 292 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04002_002750_LYSE So we decided to come here and help you free Doma. To show you─to show everyone─that you're not alone, and that the Garleans can be beaten, if we work together. I'd like to think we proved that in the Ruby Sea...
297 293 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04002_002760_YUGIRI That you did, Lyse, and far more besides. Needless to say, your assistance would be most welcome.
298 294 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04002_002770_GOSETSU Hear, hear! Now then, Yugiri─you must tell me of your search for our master!
299 295 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04002_002780_YUGIRI Lest you wonder, he speaks of Lord Hien, son of Lord Kaien, who perished during the rebellion.
300 296 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04002_002790_YUGIRI When it became clear that all hope of victory had gone, Lord Hien bade us deliver as many of our people as we could to safety beyond our borders. But as his father's heir, he was determined to fight on, and so he did─until he suffered a grievous wound in battle and vanished without a trace...
301 297 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04002_002800_YUGIRI Until now. For I have found Lord Hien─seen and spoken with him. On the Azim Steppe.
302 298 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04002_002810_GOSETSU O boundless and merciful kami, the young master lives! Tell me, was he well? Did his wound yet ail him? Where is he now? Have you brought him back to us!?
303 299 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04002_002820_YUGIRI You may take comfort in the knowledge that he is hale and whole. However, when I invited him to return with me to Doma, he had this to say...
304 300 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04002_002830_YUGIRI "If Doma yet thirsts for the blood of patriots and tyrants, I shall offer unto her my blade. But if she has had her fill of bitter draughts, I shall offer unto her conquerors my head.“
305 301 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04002_002840_YUGIRI Thrice did I declare to him that no true son or daughter of Doma would ever accept such a sacrifice. But for all my passion, he would not be swayed.
306 302 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04002_002850_YUGIRI "Learn the truth of her heart and return to me,“ he said. And so I left him.
307 303 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04002_002860_GOSETSU The words of one made to wear the mantle of leadership too soon...
308 304 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04002_002870_GOSETSU Yet there is wisdom in them all the same. If the people no longer yearn to be free, 'twould be folly to rekindle the fires of war.
309 305 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04002_002880_YUGIRI To suffer our master to surrender his life and forsake all hope of freedom is by far the greater folly. I will not go to face my fallen comrades having done naught to stop it.
310 306 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04002_002890_GOSETSU Nor I, shadow walker, nor I. But we need not rouse our comrades to battle this day. Let us instead welcome our honored guests and allow them a moment of respite.

313 309 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04002_002920_GARLEANLEADERDOMA ...Finally. I come before you today to deliver an announcement of the highest import, so listen well.
314 310 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04002_002930_GARLEANLEADERDOMA While on a charitable mission to Isari village, the acting viceroy and her personal guard came under attack from Confederate forces. This brazen, unconscionable act cannot─and will not─go unanswered.
315 311 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04002_002940_GARLEANLEADERDOMA As loyal subjects of the Empire who enjoy her safety and prosperity, you have a duty to defend her as well.
316 312 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04002_002950_GARLEANLEADERDOMA ...There is no cause for alarm. We have no intention of sending ill-trained fodder to the front line.
317 313 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04002_002960_GARLEANLEADERDOMA Those who are selected will be expected to perform rudimentary tasks. Cleaning and maintenance and so forth. You will serve only as long as you are needed. Afterwards, you will be free to return to your homes.
318 314 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04002_002970_GARLEANLEADERDOMA You. You first.
319 315 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04002_002980_YUGIRI Hmph. The Empire has no pressing need of cleaners. This is but a thinly veiled attempt to intimidate those who supported the Confederacy's actions, and isolate any whose loyalty they already suspect.
320 316 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04002_002990_GARLEANLEADERDOMA And lastly...you. That should suffice for now.
321 317 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04002_003000_ISSE Don't worry, I will be back before you know it. Listen to the elders while I am away, and do not play outside the village. Everything is going to be fine. I love you, all right? Remember that I love you...
322 318 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04002_003010_GARLEANLEADERDOMA We thank you for your cooperation. Rest assured that this will all be over very soon─once the Confederacy has been made to pay our own “Ruby Tithe.”
323 319 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04002_003020_LYSE There's no telling what might happen to those people! We have to help them!
324 320 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04002_003030_YUGIRI And we shall. But before all else, we must needs ascertain their destination. I doubt this is the first village the Garleans have visited...nor is it like to be the last.
325 321 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04002_003040_YUGIRI I will track these men. Will you help me?
326 322 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04002_003050_YUGIRI Pray return to our headquarters and tell the others what you saw here. Should we have need of reinforcements, I would know that they are ready.
327 323 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04002_003060_LYSE But I should be going with you! I came here to fight!
328 324 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04002_003070_YUGIRI Soon enough, Lyse. Soon enough. For now, we must proceed with caution.
329 325 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04002_003080_LYSE I know that, I do... It's just─when I saw them rounding those people up... Look, if anything happens─anything at all─you'd better call for us! I mean it, Yugiri. Anything at all.
330 326 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04002_003090_YUGIRI Listen to me, all of you! We have dealt with the imperials for now, but you must flee this place, quickly!
331 327 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04002_003100_E3F2VILLAGERD D-Dealt with them? Oh...oh no...you didn't kill them, did you?
332 328 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04002_003110_E3F2VILLAGERA Are you mad!? There's no escaping the Empire! Running will only make it worse!
333 329 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04002_003120_YUGIRI To stay is to die. You know this to be true.
334 330 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04002_003130_YUGIRI Even if you lack the will to fight, surely you have the will to live! Or has that, too, been beaten out of you? Is this what has become of Doma!?
335 331 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04002_003140_ISSE You are Lord Hien's retainer? Trained to fight without fear and obey without question?
336 332 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04002_003150_ISSE Well, we're not! We're lost and afraid! We hate this─all of this─but we can't do a damn thing to change it! And trying will only make it worse.
337 333 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04002_003160_ISSE It's a pathetic existence...but it's all we've got. And when people like you come here pretending it can be different, it─ It doesn't help, all right!?
338 334 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04002_003170_WOUNDEDOLDMAN Peace, boy. Peace. She came to help, and for that we should be grateful.
339 335 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04002_003180_YUGIRI Elder, your face...
340 336 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04002_003190_WOUNDEDOLDMAN We all have scars. Some too many to bear.
341 337 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04002_003200_WOUNDEDOLDMAN Too many battles, too much lost. Our friends, our family, even our liege. We who survived are forced to bend the knee─to sell our souls and surrender our dignity.
342 338 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04002_003210_WOUNDEDOLDMAN How are we to lift our heads when this shame weighs so heavily upon us? Your courage, your resolve... They are as salt in our wounds.
343 339 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04002_003220_YUGIRI If they only knew what you would do for them, my lord...
344 340 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04002_003230_YUGIRI You have made your plight clear, and I shall impose my will no more. But know this, brothers and sisters of Doma.
345 341 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04002_003240_YUGIRI For all you have suffered─for all the horror and the ignominy─you are still here. You are still alive.
346 342 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04002_003250_YUGIRI My lord─ My lord prays you value your life as highly as he does. As for me...I swear by all the kami in creation that I will free you from this torment. No matter the cost.
347 343 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04002_003260_E3F2VILLAGERD ...If the imperials come for me, I will tell them we were tricked by an Auri woman.
348 344 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04002_003270_YUGIRI Tell them whatever you must to keep your loved ones safe.
349 345 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04002_003280_ISSE Why would you...? After everything...
350 346 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04002_003290_YUGIRI Forgive me for making you search.
351 347 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04002_003300_YUGIRI It calms me, the sound. It helps me to remember the sway of the ocean when I close my eyes...
352 348 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04002_003310_YUGIRI Despite the many great and noble things I said, in truth I am not of Doma. I was born beneath the waves of the Ruby Sea...
353 349 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04002_003320_YUGIRI To think that you were there─that you even spoke with my mother and father...
354 350 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04002_003330_YUGIRI They are in good health, then. The knowledge is...of great comfort to me.
355 351 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04002_003340_YUGIRI That I might have the strength to protect my home from the Empire, I left to learn the secrets of the shinobi. Day and night we trained, ever striving to exceed our mental and physical limits.
356 352 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04002_003350_YUGIRI After a time, my skills were recognized, and I was dispatched to assist the Doman Liberation Front. It was then that I met Lord Kaien and his son, and their loyal samurai, Gosetsu.
357 353 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04002_003360_YUGIRI Good men, all. Brave and true, so clear their eyes, so pure their purpose. Any shinobi would have been proud to serve them and Doma.
358 354 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04002_003370_YUGIRI ...But, in the end, I will always be of the sea.
359 355 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04002_003380_YUGIRI Every day, I pray for my home, and for the people I left behind. That they might be spared the wages of war, and live in peace, untouched by this madness.
360 356 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04002_003390_YUGIRI I confessed this to Lord Hien once. Do you know what he said to me?
361 357 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04002_003400_YUGIRI He said: “Good. We are better for the conviction of our allies, and draw inspiration from their example. What is weak alone may together grow stronger.”
362 358 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04002_003410_YUGIRI Never did I lose faith in them. Even when all was lost, and I led our people to Eorzea, I clung to the belief that our dream would one day be realized.
363 359 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04002_003420_YUGIRI But when I gazed into those eyes bereft of hope─when those broken men balked at liberty, the dream was shattered.
364 360 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04002_Q5_000_001_NONE_VOICE What will you say?
365 361 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04002_A5_000_001_NONE_VOICE Together we are strong, and we must carry on.
366 362 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04002_A5_000_002_NONE_VOICE It will not always be so.
367 363 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04002_A5_000_003_NONE_VOICE ...
368 364 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04002_003430_YUGIRI That you remain resolute, even in the face of everything we have seen... It heartens me more than you know. Thank you for standing by this naive fool.
369 365 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04002_003440_YUGIRI So I pray... And thus do I labor to see a new day dawn, regardless of my misgivings. When all is said and done, we can but carry on─together.
370 366 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04002_003450_YUGIRI Forgive me! We shinobi are taught to discharge our duties without hesitation or doubt. Come what may, I shall not falter.
371 367 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04002_003460_YUGIRI An imperial airship...
372 368 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04002_003470_YUGIRI It is bound for Doma Castle. Quickly, we must rejoin the others!
373 369 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04002_003480_LYSE There you are! What happened? Are the villagers all right?
374 370 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04002_003490_YUGIRI W-We freed them, along with many others.
375 371 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04002_003500_YUGIRI Gosetsu─we spied an airship bound for the castle. Know you aught of it?
376 372 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04002_003510_GOSETSU Aye, that we do... The crown prince is come to Doma.
377 373 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04002_003520_ALISAIE We suspect this is the result of recent events in Gyr Abania. Our defeat notwithstanding, there appears to be some concern in Garlemald that subversive elements may be rallying in other provinces.
378 374 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04002_003530_ALISAIE Though Yotsuyu governs Doma, Zenos remains the province's anointed viceroy─and it would seem he has come to assess the current situation in person.
379 375 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04002_003540_YUGIRI If Zenos is here, we must seize this opportunity and kill him.
380 376 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04002_003550_ALISAIE Would that it were so simple, Lady Yugiri. You may recall that we encountered Zenos at Rhalgr's Reach. We have seen firsthand what he can do. His power defies explanation.
381 377 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04002_003560_ALISAIE He faced the Alliance, the Resistance and the Scions, and he defeated us all.
382 378 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04002_003570_ALISAIE We survived and learned from the experience, it is true─but if we are to defeat him, it will not be through simple opportunism. We will require a flawless plan.
383 379 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04002_003580_YUGIRI We know his strengths. A prodigious swordsman trained from childhood by the finest imperial tutors, reputed to be without equal on the battlefield. Which is why we must not meet him there.
384 380 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04002_003590_YUGIRI Nay, we keep to the shadows─the domain of the shinobi. And thence we strike. You need only give me the chance.
385 381 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04002_003600_GOSETSU Were this but a matter of personal revenge, I would not presume to bar your path, for I myself crave that same vengeance.
386 382 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04002_003610_GOSETSU But to draw steel against the Emperor's son is a grave decision, and one that will shape our nation's future. Do not forget Lord Hien's words!
387 383 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04002_003620_YUGIRI What, that we should sheathe our swords if the people lack the will to fight!? I will not squander this opportunity! If we do naught, our master's life is forfeit!
388 384 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04002_003630_GOSETSU Even should you succeed, Zenos's death will not win Doma her freedom─more likely her doom.
389 385 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04002_003640_GOSETSU Can we defend our people against the Empire's retribution? We few against a legion? Do not be a fool, child!
390 386 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04002_003650_YUGIRI ...Mayhap I am a fool with foolish dreams of a future that will never be. But I cannot─I will not forsake them!
391 387 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04002_003660_LYSE Yugiri, wait!
392 388 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04002_003670_ALISAIE ...What now?

394 390 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04002_003690_GARLEANLEADERDOMA The village is not far, my lord. If it please you, we shall escort you there directly.
395 391 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04002_003700_ZENOS Hmph. Less a province than a graveyard. The rotting husk of a broken nation, devoid of proper sport. <sigh> But as His Radiance wishes...
396 392 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04002_003710_GARLEANLEADERDOMA Y-Yes, of course, my lord! A-And may I say how terribly sorry we are that you had to come so far!
397 393 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04002_003720_ZENOS We labored long to sow the seeds of hatred, of fear─to train them as beasts. Now we shall see the harvest.
398 394 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04002_003730_ZENOS Let there be savage beasts baying for blood, and not hollow-eyed prey cowering in the dark, or there will be no joy in this hunt.

418 414 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04002_003930_ISSE I've spent my whole life hating myself─for every time they made me beg, for every time I held my tongue to protect the people I love.
419 415 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04002_003940_ISSE And then you came along and reminded me of all the things I never said and never did, and it was even worse! I would have given anything to forget, to walk away, but I knew that I'd never be able to live with the guilt.

430 426 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04002_004050_E3F2VILLAGERC Good... If there is anything else we can do for the two of you─anything at all─just ask.
431 427 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04002_004060_GOSETSU Stare any harder and you're like to burn a hole in them. Go and say your piece for goodness' sake!
432 428 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04002_004070_ISSE I've got nothing more to say to them! I'm going to find out how the others are getting on.
433 429 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04002_004080_YUGIRI Gosetsu, Mistress Alisaie─I owe you an apology. I acted with reckless disregard for my own safety, and endangered I know not how many others in so doing.
434 430 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04002_004090_YUGIRI Scorning your wise counsel, I knowingly defied our master's wishes, and left you no choice but to follow suit.
435 431 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04002_004100_GOSETSU Nonsense. I followed our master's wishes to the letter. Consider once more his words, and the intent therein.
436 432 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04002_004110_GOSETSU In offering his head, he but sought to shield his people from harm─loyal retainers included. You must value your life more highly, shadow walker.
437 433 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04002_004120_ALISAIE On the other hand, your recklessness did serve as an inspiration to many. Mayhap you should not be so hard on yourself...
438 434 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04002_004130_ALISAIE In any event, if you must apologize profusely, it seems only right that you expend as much effort thanking the one person who supported your plan from the first.
439 435 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04002_004140_YUGIRI That it does. There are no words which will suffice...but thank you.
440 436 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04002_004150_LYSE Aaaaaand there they are!
441 437 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04002_004160_ALPHINAUD Twelve be praised! When I learned of your rather questionable plot to assassinate Zenos, I feared we would need to recruit a new primal slayer.
442 438 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04002_004170_LYSE I'm sorry we couldn't be there. Alisaie made me swear to stay behind no matter what.
443 439 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04002_004180_LYSE I think she was worried I'd hurl myself at Zenos the moment I set eyes on him.
444 440 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04002_004190_ALISAIE ...What?
445 441 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04002_004200_ALISAIE You'll forgive me for changing the subject, but now would seem a good time to discuss where we go from here. Though the Empire has yet to retaliate, the fact remains that we have revealed our presence, and signaled our intentions in so doing. It is only a matter of time before the imperials move against us.
446 442 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04002_004210_ALISAIE Given that we lack the strength to oppose them, 'tis plain some manner of brilliant stratagem is required. Therefore, I yield the floor to the preeminent tactician of our time, with whom I was privileged to share a womb.
447 443 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04002_004220_ALPHINAUD If you insist... While in Kugane we debated a number of approaches and were eventually forced to concede that we cannot look to the Alliance for aid.
448 444 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04002_004230_ALPHINAUD Even were it possible to ferry sufficient forces and materiel from Eorzea in a timely manner, such a massive undertaking would not long escape the attention of the Empire. 'Twould be a miracle if our ships reached the shore.
449 445 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04002_004240_ALPHINAUD Fortunately, according to Tataru and Hancock's intelligence, the Empire has withdrawn most of its forces from Doma in the past year, leaving her relatively unguarded.
450 446 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04002_004250_ALPHINAUD That being the case, a popular uprising spearheaded by the full might of the Doman Liberation Front may feasibly be sufficient to threaten the seat of provincial government, namely Doma Castle. 'Twould be rather easier said than done, of course, but I have seen worse plans prevail.
451 447 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04002_004260_GOSETSU Then we must needs meet with Lord Hien and convince him to return, for there is no surer way to inspire our people to rise up as one.
452 448 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04002_004270_GOSETSU He desired proof of his subjects' conviction, and they have provided it─through no less a deed than openly opposing Zenos himself!
453 449 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04002_004280_LYSE It will work. It has to work. And next time, we will defeat him...
454 450 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04002_004289_SYSTEM_NONE_VOICE Meanwhile, in the keep of Doma Castle...

44 40 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04003_000410_HIEN I have made my decision. Yugiri, I bid you return to Yanxia and take charge of our forces in preparation for my homecoming. As for our esteemed guests, I would ask that you remain here with me. I sense you will be a great help in the coming days.
45 41 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04003_000420_YUGIRI Your will is my command, my lord, but...how much longer do you intend to stay?
46 42 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04003_000430_HIEN Oh, only until I have won the contest. I mean to return at the head of a Xaela army.
47 43 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04003_000440_YUGIRI You mean to participate in the Naadam?
48 44 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04003_000450_HIEN Have you a better idea? Consider how soundly we were defeated before. The imperials may have since grown weaker, but we are weaker still.
49 45 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04003_000460_HIEN 'Twould be folly to challenge them without first supplementing our forces. So yes, I intend to win the Naadam and enlist the aid of every able-bodied Xaela I can!
50 46 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04003_000470_HIEN Furthermore, by championing the Mol in the contest, I can at last repay their kindness. Lest you forget, they saved me from certain death─and a man who suffers such debts to go unpaid is without honor and unfit to lead.
51 47 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04003_000480_GOSETSU Hah hah hah! Just so, just so.
52 48 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04003_000490_GOSETSU Our lord has spoken, Yugiri. But take heart─I shall keep him safe...and should it come to it, bring him back by force.
53 49 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04003_000500_YUGIRI This is no laughing matter, Gosetsu. But if these are my orders... Very well.
54 50 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04003_000510_YUGIRI Once more I place my faith in you. Pray look after them both.
55 51 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04003_000520_LYSE Looks like it's up to us, then... Though it does seem a bit risky. Isn't Hien meant to be the next king of Doma or something?
56 52 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04003_000530_HIEN So they say...though, in truth, I am but a pale reflection of my late father. All the more reason to entreat your assistance.
57 53 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04003_000540_HIEN For ours is an impossible dream─to set in motion a revolution that will rattle the very firmament, and shake off the yoke of the most powerful empire in the world!
58 54 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04003_000550_HIEN Temulun Khatun, Cirina, I am returned.
59 55 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04003_000560_CIRINA Ah, you found each other!
60 56 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04003_000570_TEMULUN Ours is the soil, Hien. The Doman's and the Eorzeans', too.
61 57 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04003_000580_LYSE You know us?
62 58 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04003_000590_TEMULUN The gods know you, child...as do the stars in the heavens, which shone bright at your coming.
63 59 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04003_000600_CIRINA The Mol hearken to the whispers of the elder gods, which guide us in our daily lives. We know them through the udgan─like my grandmother.
64 60 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04003_000610_HIEN Khatun, I am come to beg a boon of you and yours. That I might liberate my homeland, I seek to rally the strength of the Steppe.
65 61 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04003_000620_HIEN To that end, I wish to fight in the Naadam─as a warrior of the Mol. Will you grant me this honor?
66 62 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04003_000630_CIRINA To stand with the Mol is fruitless! Hien, do not do this! The gods may have willed that our tribe join in the Naadam, but...
67 63 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04003_000640_CIRINA There is no path to victory! We are weak and our numbers few. Even with your help, it would be impossible.
68 64 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04003_000650_HIEN I thank you for your concern, Cirina. But it is precisely because of the seeming hopelessness of your cause that we must needs cast our lot with you.
69 65 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04003_000660_HIEN Were we to join hands with a more favored tribe, our victory would inevitably be attributed to them. And no one would follow me to Doma.
70 66 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04003_000670_TEMULUN 'Twas the gods' will that we fight. Mayhap this too is their design.
71 67 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04003_000680_TEMULUN Hear me, then. As khatun of the Mol, I invite you all to join with us in the Naadam.
72 68 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04003_000690_TEMULUN Will you look after them?
73 69 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04003_000700_CIRINA Come with me, friends. There is much I would show you.
74 70 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04003_000710_TEMULUN You, wait. I would have words.
75 71 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04003_000720_TEMULUN A singular radiance. Shimmering. Like a jewel of the Dusk Mother, blinding in its brilliance.
76 72 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04003_000730_TEMULUN Stars flicker and flock to you. Before such gathered light, even the secrets of the gods may be laid bare.
77 73 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04003_000740_TEMULUN Some are fated to rise in grace and glory. Others to falter and fade, though not from memory. Both will be your strength and salvation come the end.
78 74 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04003_000750_TEMULUN Cherish the stars and the light they bring you in the dark. For you are a traveler, are you not?
79 75 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04003_000760_CIRINA She needed the rest. To come so far and carry so much...
80 76 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04003_000770_CIRINA Hien and his friend, too. Strange that they should vanish so soon.
81 77 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04003_000780_HIEN Hah! Haaagh!
82 78 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04003_000790_GOSETSU Not troubled by your old wounds, I see.
83 79 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04003_000800_HIEN Hm. Nor you by yours.
84 80 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04003_000810_HIEN I know I should have fled with the others after Father died, instead of blindly fighting on.
85 81 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04003_000820_HIEN It was reckless and foolish, and there was naught to be gained from it. Everything to lose, rather...
86 82 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04003_000830_GOSETSU We know no path save the one we walk. I myself am in no hurry to meet those who have gone before─not while I have still to make amends.
87 83 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04003_000840_HIEN Well said.
88 84 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04003_000850_HIEN [SWINGING SWORD EXERT]
89 85 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04003_000860_GOSETSU You are none the worse for your time in the wilderness. On the contrary, I would say you have improved.
90 86 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04003_000870_HIEN Come now, your victories still far exceed mine. Or have you forgotten all the times you trounced me as a boy?
91 87 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04003_000880_GOSETSU I...feared I would not see you again.
92 88 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04003_000890_HIEN A life so fortuitously saved should be spent wisely. Without regret would I have traded it for our people's amnesty, had it been their will.
93 89 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04003_000900_HIEN Instead they have called for the sword, and so that is what I must be. Until this blade is broken, I can but carve a path forward.
94 90 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04003_000910_HIEN ...Were you truly so concerned for my well-being? You never showed it when we used to spar.
95 91 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04003_000920_GOSETSU How you cried when you lost. And when your mother tried to comfort you. And when you inevitably came at me once more, swinging your wooden sword wildly...
96 92 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04003_000930_GOSETSU Mina's little Master Shun. What a fine young man you've become!
97 93 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04003_000940_HIEN A man should not be addressed by his childhood name. I've told you about that before!
98 94 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04003_000950_HIEN Ah, the mask slips! And I was so close to cultivating a winning persona.
99 95 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04003_000960_GOSETSU There will be opportunity enough for putting on airs after you have returned in triumph to Doma. Now is the time to show our true character.
100 96 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04003_Q1_000_001_NONE_VOICE What will you say?
101 97 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04003_A1_000_001_NONE_VOICE No secrets between comrades, eh?
102 98 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04003_A1_000_002_NONE_VOICE "Shun“, was it?
103 99 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04003_A1_000_003_NONE_VOICE So long as we win when it counts.
104 100 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04003_000970_HIEN Quite right! Which makes me think you should join us next time. I daresay you have a secret or two of your own to share!
105 101 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04003_000980_HIEN ...Yes, yes, 'tis a name my parents gave me as a child─but I should like to think I have long since outgrown it!
106 102 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04003_000990_HIEN But as you seem determined to bring it back into use, I believe a match is in order. If I win, you will be honor-bound to divulge one of your darkest secrets.
107 103 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04003_001000_HIEN Oh, you need not doubt my conviction. I have but one goal, to which I am wholly devoted. Join us next time, and you shall see for yourself!
108 104 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04003_001010_LYSE Mission accomplished! Everything still in one piece?
109 105 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04003_001020_HIEN More or less, aye. That mountainous monstrosity came as quite a surprise. Who knew that the Steppe held such secrets!
110 106 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04003_001030_GOSETSU I see the two of you emerged similarly unscathed. Well, then! By my reckoning, there is naught left to prevent us from taking part in the Naadam!
111 107 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04003_001040_ORONIRMAN You! Yea, you who have walked Bardam's Mettle. Newborn warriors of the Steppe. Our khan demands an audience. You will come.
112 108 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04003_001050_LYSE I remember those clothes. He's Oronir, isn't he? What should we do?
113 109 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04003_001060_HIEN Ordinarily, I would politely decline. But this may be an opportunity to assess their strength, and we do have some time before the Naadam begins...
114 110 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04003_001070_HIEN If all goes to plan, they will be fighting for us soon enough. What say you? Shall we go and greet our comrades-to-be?
115 111 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04003_Q2_000_001_NONE_VOICE What will you say?
116 112 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04003_A2_000_001_NONE_VOICE Why not?
117 113 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04003_A2_000_002_NONE_VOICE If you insist...
118 114 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04003_001080_LYSE Whatever happens, we shouldn't keep Cirina and the others waiting. Let's be ready to make a swift exit, all right?
119 115 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04003_001090_HIEN We accept your khan's generous invitation. Lead the way.
120 116 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04003_001100_LYSE Two banners... So it's not just Oronir we're dealing with...
121 117 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04003_001110_ORONIRMAN Most radiant brother Magnai. We have brought the ones you seek.
122 118 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04003_001120_MAGNAI You conquered Bardam's Mettle.
123 119 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04003_001130_HIEN As warriors of the Mol, aye. You are the khan here, yes? Why have you summoned us? Mayhap to propose a joint endeavor?
124 120 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04003_001140_MAGNAI Nay, Doman. We shall not speak as equals. Born of the Sun are Oronir, and born of the earth are you.
125 121 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04003_001150_MAGNAI When I learned of trespassers, I bade my warriors take their measure. To flay them if they failed.
126 122 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04003_001160_MAGNAI But if by the grace of Azim they should survive their trials and emerge anointed, then bring them hither to pay tribute.
127 123 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04003_001170_MAGNAI Tribute, should it prove satisfactory, shall earn you the favor of the sun. His beloved shall bask in his radiance, and their supplications be duly considered.
128 124 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04003_001180_LYSE So you want us to bow down and serve you. What if we don't feel like it?
129 125 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04003_001190_MAGNAI The defiant will suffer in shadow. It would be an affront to the resplendent Azim himself to refuse this generous offer when by rights you should be condemned. But, in lieu of tribute...
130 126 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04003_001200_MAGNAI Swear fealty to the sun. Pledge to him your body and soul. Promise to serve him unto death, and you may know his glory.
131 127 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04003_001210_MAGNAI A generous offer granted to but few...though perchance this is too merciful.
132 128 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04003_001220_MAGNAI Hm. It seems our brothers of the Buduga want you.
133 129 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04003_001230_MAGNAI The men only.
134 130 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04003_001240_MAGNAI Like the Borlaaq and women─though you know them not either, I am sure. No matter. All you need know is that you will serve, one way or another.
135 131 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04003_001250_HIEN That much does indeed seem plain. However, as we are but newborn warriors who know little of your customs, we struggle to conceive of ways in which we might be of service to the most gracious and illustrious Sun.
136 132 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04003_001260_MAGNAI You make mock of us, Doman. Do not do so again.
137 133 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04003_001270_MAGNAI You will be given a task. It will be difficult. You will carry it out. When you have accepted this, you may ask me what it is.
138 134 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04003_001280_SADU How he died matters not. Geser was a great warrior. He will return to us in time.
139 135 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04003_001290_DOTHARLWOMAN Not soon enough, Khatun. The Naadam is nearly upon us! Mayhap we should counsel restraint until after...
140 136 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04003_001300_GOSETSU I do not understand. If Geser is dead, how should he “return”?
141 137 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04003_001310_SADU Silence. You come to spy on us knowing naught of our ways?
142 138 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04003_001320_GOSETSU We know you are fearless. And that you are called the “undying ones”...
143 139 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04003_001330_SADU That is true. None are braver than the Dotharl, for we do not fear death.
144 140 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04003_001340_SADU With death a warrior must dance boldly. Fearlessly. For thus does his soul burn bright.
145 141 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04003_001350_SADU Then, in death, his soul shines white─exalted. The flesh rots, but the soul endures. And ere the seasons have turned, so he shall return.
146 142 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04003_001360_SADU When he is glimpsed in the eyes of a newborn, he is blessed with the same name, that he may grow into a great warrior once more.
147 143 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04003_001370_GOSETSU You mean to tell me these newborn babes and fallen warriors are one and the same? Madness!
148 144 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04003_001380_SADU I gave you leave to observe. Not to insult our beliefs.
149 145 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04003_001390_SADU Have care what you say. Otherwise, do as you will.
150 146 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04003_001400_GOSETSU Left for the vultures... It seems an insult to the man.
151 147 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04003_001410_GOSETSU But the soul lives on, they say...these bodies no more than empty husks returning to the earth. Seen through those eyes, I suppose the sight is almost comforting.
152 148 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04003_001420_GOSETSU Pardon me.
153 149 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04003_001430_GOSETSU When first I heard the tales, I could not help but scoff. “Another queer tribe,” I thought, “with still queerer customs.” Yet having borne witness to their rites, I cannot deny there is a certain logic to it all.
154 150 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04003_001440_GOSETSU A samurai will die for his lord without hesitation or regret. But this is not because he delights in such sacrifice.
155 151 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04003_001450_GOSETSU It is because he has faith that his death will serve a higher purpose. There is an awakening in that instant, when the heart sings and the blood burns, and his soul...his soul finds peace.
156 152 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04003_001460_GOSETSU There is comfort in that...
157 153 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04003_001470_GOSETSU Nay, we dare not permit ourselves that luxury, my friend, tempting though it may be. Not while our loved ones yet remain in chains!
158 154 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04003_001479_SYSTEM_NONE_VOICE Meanwhile, deep within the Dawn Throne...
159 155 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04003_001480_LYSE Well, if there is a way out, I can't see it. Shame we didn't learn much before they locked us up...
160 156 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04003_001490_HIEN 'Tis little wonder the Oronir won the last Naadam. These people leave naught to chance.
161 157 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04003_001500_LYSE Hien...I've had something on my mind for a while, and now...
162 158 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04003_001510_LYSE In Ala Mhigo, where I was born, I found it strange that for all the people who supported the Resistance, there were just as many who didn't.
163 159 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04003_001520_LYSE But then we came to this part of the world, and met with the Confederacy and lots of ordinary Domans, and almost every single one of them seemed content to just put up with things, no matter how bad they got.
164 160 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04003_001530_LYSE They─they all had their reasons, of course, and it's not like I don't understand them, but...the thought of it made me so angry. After everything they'd been through, everything the Empire had done to them, how could they not rise up? How could they not fight back?
165 161 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04003_001540_HIEN ...People are pragmatic creatures at heart.
166 162 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04003_001550_HIEN They hold on to hope only until they taste true hardship. Then comes fear and regret. Safer not to dream, they conclude at last.
167 163 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04003_001560_HIEN For even should a day go by without some new disappointment, the next will only bring more of the same. And so they choose the more sensible option...
168 164 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04003_001570_HIEN They learn to abide the indignities and injustices, the pain and the shame─to accept them as normal. Such is the lot of most men. One cannot expect to spur them to action at a moment's notice.
169 165 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04003_001580_HIEN But if one who has known their pain can convince them to strive for something greater, and rekindle the fire in their hearts...then they will remember what they have lost. And they will rise.
170 166 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04003_001590_LYSE I had someone like that once. I didn't know who I was or who I wanted to be, and...he risked his life to show me the way.
171 167 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04003_001600_HIEN Then honor him by doing the same for others─with all your might and main!
172 168 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04003_001610_HIEN You know, when my homeland fell twenty-five years past, I was still in my mother's womb. Never have I known a free Doma!
173 169 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04003_001620_HIEN But my father did, as did many of my fallen comrades. As do many of my people now.
174 170 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04003_001630_HIEN It may be no more than a dream to me, but if I do not chase it, then who will?
175 171 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04003_001640_LYSE ...The way you carry it all. You're just the same.
176 172 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04003_001650_HIEN Hm? ...As you?
177 173 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04003_001660_LYSE Oh, no, not me! Definitely not me. I meant the Warrior of Light. Out there, somewhere, doing what needs to be done...
178 174 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04003_001670_LYSE I won't have you put me to shame any longer... I'm going to seize the future I want with my own two hands!
179 175 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04003_001680_MAGNAI I see you, soil bearers...
180 176 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04003_001690_SADU The soil has been scattered, and the Steppe reborn! Sanctified and unbound, she calls for a new khagan!
181 177 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04003_001700_SADU Go forth and claim her, Dotharl, and bring death to all who bar your way!
182 178 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04003_001710_CIRINA It begins, Grandmother.
183 179 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04003_001720_HIEN I must say, it's been a while... Is everyone ready?
184 180 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04003_001730_GOSETSU Hah hah hah! A samurai is always ready. You shall remember this soon enough once I have taken to the field.
185 181 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04003_001740_LYSE So we take on all comers, and then it's off to Doma! I can't wait!
186 182 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04003_001750_CIRINA Thank you, my friends. Upon the soil of one and all shall our deeds be inscribed...
187 183 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04003_001751_SYSTEM_NONE_VOICE To triumph in the Naadam, you and your allies must race from Mol Iloh towards the ovoo in the distance, while fending off attacks from other tribes.
188 184 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04003_001752_SYSTEM_NONE_VOICE Once you arrive at the ovoo, you must claim it for the Mol. But be warned that the warriors of other tribes can do so as well, and only the first will be crowned khagan.
189 185 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04003_001753_SYSTEM_NONE_VOICE Prevent your opponents from claiming the ovoo and endure their assault to win the Naadam for the Mol!
190 186 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04003_001760_CIRINA Grant us favor, O Mother of the Dusk, and to victory guide the Mol!
191 187 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04003_001770_SADU The Steppe has spoken!? Then the khagan is...

223 219 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04003_002050_HIEN Brothers and sisters, pray forgive me my absence. It has been far too long.

226 222 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04003_002080_HIEN Our victory, Yugiri, owed as much to each of my stalwart comrades as it did to me. Now, rise─I will not suffer this excess of formality any longer.
227 223 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04003_002090_HIEN Alphinaud and Alisaie Leveilleur, I presume? I am told we owe you much. It is a pleasure to meet you both.
228 224 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04003_002100_ALPHINAUD The pleasure is ours, Lord Hien. Though we were born and raised a world apart, our values are one and the same: freedom, justice, liberty. Each of which Doma shall soon enjoy once more.
229 225 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04003_002110_ALISAIE Hopefully. I understand you have brought an army?
230 226 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04003_002120_HIEN Indeed. The Xaela tribes of the Azim Steppe have pledged their military might to the cause.
231 227 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04003_002130_ALISAIE Good. We, meanwhile, have secured the support of the Confederacy, and a not insignificant number of your countrymen.
232 228 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04003_002140_ALISAIE The Blue Kojin, too, have expressed a willingness to join the fight─provided you agree to certain trade agreements following the liberation of Doma.
233 229 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04003_002150_YUGIRI The shinobi will render what aid they can. However, Sui–no–Sato refused to answer our call.
234 230 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04003_002160_HIEN No matter. What forces we have amassed far exceed my original expectations. You have my thanks.
235 231 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04003_002170_ALPHINAUD You should know that Zenos departed Doma not long after you left to find Lord Hien. We know not the reason why, but it would seem he was eager to return to Gyr Abania.
236 232 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04003_002180_LYSE What? Have you heard anything from the Resistance? There hasn't been another attack, has there?
237 233 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04003_002190_ALPHINAUD Tataru assures me they are quite well. You need not worry. If anything, this turn of events would seem to be to our advantage.
238 234 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04003_002200_ALISAIE But there the good news ends. Yotsuyu retains her position as acting viceroy, and we have reports that the garrison at Doma Castle is preparing for a massive operation...
239 235 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04003_002210_ALISAIE We suspect that the Empire's attempt to eliminate you on the Steppe may have been a prelude to a larger effort to purge the remaining pockets of resistance within Doma.
240 236 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04003_002220_GOSETSU The hour of reckoning is upon us.
241 237 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04003_Q4_000_001_NONE_VOICE What will you say?
242 238 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04003_A4_000_001_NONE_VOICE ...Then victory will soon be ours!

245 241 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04003_002240_HIEN It will not be easy, that much I cannot deny. Had we more time to prepare, mayhap it would be different.
246 242 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04003_002250_HIEN Do not forget, however, that we have been blessed with comrades brave and true, whom the Empire will have no appetite to face. If you doubt me, you need only look in the mirror.
247 243 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04003_002260_HIEN In this place, in this moment, I call upon you all! Twenty-five years of oppression, of tyranny, of shame─it ends with us! We will prevail!

4 0 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04004_000010_ALPHINAUD If all are in agreement, I will outline my plan to retake Doma Castle.
5 1 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04004_000020_ALPHINAUD First, Lyse and the Doman irregulars will conduct a series of raids against imperial targets throughout the surrounding area, with the aim of drawing the garrison's attention.
6 2 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04004_000030_ALPHINAUD Shortly thereafter, our Xaela allies will launch a surprise attack on the castle's airborne defenses.
7 3 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04004_000040_ALPHINAUD In this way, we will prevent the enemy's airships from rendering support, and cut off one means of escape.
8 4 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04004_000050_ALPHINAUD Alisaie and I, together with the shinobi, will exploit the ensuing chaos to infiltrate the Moon Gates and disable the magitek field generators.
9 5 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04004_000060_ALPHINAUD Once the barrier is down, we will be free to cross the One River and reach Doma Castle. It is at this point that we must turn to our Confederate and Kojin allies.
10 6 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04004_000070_ALPHINAUD They will commence to bombard the castle with cannon fire, while sailing west towards the Doman Enclave.
11 7 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04004_000080_LYSE Wait, the enclave? Why would you want them to sail away from the castle?
12 8 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04004_000090_ALPHINAUD Because the enclave is home to countless civilians.
13 9 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04004_000100_ALPHINAUD Once pressed, the imperials may well think to take them hostage, and I would fain forestall any such attempt.
14 10 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04004_000110_ALPHINAUD After we have secured the enclave, we may lay siege to Doma Castle directly. The main strength of the Doman Liberation Front, under Lord Hien's command, shall be committed to this endeavor, as will you and your redoubtable allies.
15 11 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04004_000120_ALPHINAUD The rest is simple. We scour the castle for the viceroy, we find her, and we subdue her. Without their leader, what remains of the imperials' morale will crumble, and they will surrender or attempt to flee. And Doma will be free.
16 12 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04004_000130_ALPHINAUD Your thoughts, Lord Hien? If any points were unclear or gave you cause for concern, I should be glad to go over them with you.
17 13 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04004_000140_HIEN Nay, 'tis a fine plan. You have a talent for this, that much is plain.
18 14 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04004_000150_HIEN We shall carry out Alphinaud's plan to the letter. Time is of the essence, as you know, so let us each see to our respective preparations. Carry on!

23 19 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04004_000200_HIEN Thank you for coming, Soroban. Doubtless you have already been informed of our plans and the role we would have your people play. However, I seek your counsel as a Kojin of the Blue.
24 20 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04004_000210_HIEN Be it by spell or siegecraft, could your forces destroy the underwater foundations of Doma Castle's outer wall?
25 21 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04004_000220_SOROBAN Hmm... Explosives, coupled with a few incantations... Yes, that might produce sufficient force. Such a thing could indeed be done.
26 22 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04004_000230_HIEN Then I wish to revise the plan.
27 23 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04004_000240_HIEN Instead of assisting the Confederacy in securing the enclave, I would have the Kojin advance upstream, beneath the water, and breach a segment of the outer wall.
28 24 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04004_000250_HIEN I mean to flood Doma Castle.
29 25 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04004_000260_GOSETSU My lord, the castle is a sacred symbol─the very heart of our nation! To destroy it is unthinkable, unconscionable─you cannot do this!

31 27 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04004_000280_GOSETSU But, my lord...that castle was entrusted to you by your father, and his father before him. I say to you again: it is the heart of our nation.

41 37 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04004_000380_LYSE Right. Off to bed! Don't want to overdo it─and neither should you.
42 38 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04004_000390_LYSE Oh, but before you sleep, you should look in on Alphinaud and Alisaie. Quietly, of course.

45 41 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04004_000420_HIEN That's enough, Gosetsu. You'll not convince anyone with your drunken ramblings.
46 42 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04004_000430_HIEN We've talked about this. All of us. We are flooding the castle tomorrow, and that's the end of it.
47 43 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04004_000440_GOSETSU I know, I know! I accepted your decision, and I do not intend to go back on my word. Nevertheless, as the battle draws near, I cannot help but recall our many travails, and it fair compels me to speak...
48 44 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04004_000450_GOSETSU In all my time serving as a leader of men, there are two failures which haunt me to this day.
49 45 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04004_000460_GOSETSU The first, our defeat at the hands of the Empire twenty-five years past, and the subsequent imprisonment of your father.
50 46 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04004_000470_GOSETSU Long did I consider offering up my life in atonement, until Lord Kaien, allowed at last to receive visitors, called for me of all people...

52 48 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04004_000490_GOSETSU My second failure, of course, was the betrayal of that selfsame command, when in the rebellion I failed to protect not only Lord Kaien, but Lord Hien too...

56 52 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04004_000530_HIEN Now, now, it is far too soon for that. Save your tears for the morrow. You may be sure we will have ample cause to shed them, be they for joy or despair.
57 53 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04004_000540_HIEN Bah! Even that sounds morose. We who yet walk the path should not think too much on the destination. When the hour arrives, we shall welcome what comes with open arms.

59 55 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04004_000560_HIEN All debts will be repaid. On that you have my word. But first, we must live past tomorrow, no?

90 86 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04004_000850_YOTSUYU Devotees of vengeance should rightly pursue their cause unto the bitter end, don't you think? Their hearts aflame with passion until the last few embers fizzle and fade, leaving naught but ash...
91 87 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04004_000860_YOTSUYU The viceroy's orders were clear. If Doma falls, none shall be spared his wrath. Tell the men to fight as if their lives depend on it. Because they do.

95 91 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04004_000900_HIEN Have you aught to say for yourself? For what you have done to our people─your people?
96 92 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04004_000910_YOTSUYU My people, he says. The precious lordling beloved by all come to confront the wicked witch.
97 93 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04004_000920_YOTSUYU My parents thought me no better. They worked me from dawn to dusk, like an ox or an ass or some other beast of burden. Until, that is, my brother spied a chance to transform the family fortunes.
98 94 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04004_000930_YOTSUYU And so I was married to a vicious old drunk who beat me as he pleased, and when I pleaded for help, I was told to grin and bear it. For the family. For him. For everyone's sake. They pretended not to notice, but they knew. They knew.
99 95 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04004_000940_YOTSUYU What did it matter? I was nothing to them─less than nothing! I wasn't of their flesh, I wasn't a fellow Doman, I wasn't even a person. I might just as well have been dead!
100 96 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04004_000950_YOTSUYU And then my husband passed away one day. And so I was sold off yet again, to pay his debts. But this time, this time, I found a way to live for myself. To survive. As a spy for the Empire.
101 97 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04004_000960_YOTSUYU Oh, those were the days, when the scales first fell from my eyes. No longer would I be a slave to my parents or my husband or the pleasure house. I would be free...and receive due compensation...
102 98 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04004_000970_YOTSUYU That would be enough, I thought...until I saw a Doman in the road, beaten and broken, and my heart...my heart skipped a beat...
103 99 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04004_000980_YOTSUYU Lying at my feet, groaning in agony, sobbing in despair. Powerless, helpless, hopeless! A vision forever seared into my soul...

105 101 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04004_001000_YOTSUYU There was nothing I would not do to feel that joy again! To bend this cruel, twisted world to my whims! ...Now, having borne witness to my life's work, have you aught to say to me?

152 148 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04004_001400_HIEN And yet we won.
153 149 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04004_001410_HIEN The perseverance to endure decades of oppression. The will to carry on the legacy of those we have lost. These were the bonds that held us together and gave us the strength to reclaim our home.
154 150 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04004_001420_HIEN After twenty-five hard years, the shadow of the Empire no longer darkens these lands, and we may at last look forward to the dawning of a new day. But, my friends, it will be a day of work.

161 157 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04004_001490_ALISAIE This will not end with Doma. We will see to that. Right, Lyse?
162 158 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04004_001500_LYSE Right!
163 159 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04004_001510_ALPHINAUD Indeed, this is but the beginning. The tide is turning, and it shall soon bear us back across the seas, and onward unto the next battlefield.
164 160 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04004_001520_TATARU Ah, there you are! All packed and ready to go?
165 161 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04004_001530_ALPHINAUD To the best of my knowledge, yes. Apologies for the wait. The task of tying up loose ends invariably takes longer than one allows. Happily, however, all now seems to be in order.
166 162 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04004_001540_TATARU Then there's nothing left to do but to board the ship! Do try and enjoy the journey, won't you? It may be your last chance to rest for a while!
167 163 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04004_001550_ALISAIE That would depend on the good captain's choice of route.
168 164 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04004_001560_ALPHINAUD As ever, Tataru, I pray you take all due precautions while making your inquiries. Better to avoid the local authorities altogether than risk a repeat of our Ishgardian episode.
169 165 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04004_001570_ALISAIE And what sordid episode is this, pray tell?
170 166 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04004_001580_ALPHINAUD Naught to speak of, I assure you...
171 167 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04004_001590_HIEN (-???-)You there! Hold that ship!
172 168 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04004_001600_LYSE What are you two doing here? Shouldn't you be in Doma?
173 169 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04004_001610_HIEN Shouldn't you? You left with nary a word! I half-wondered if I had done something to offend.
174 170 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04004_001620_YUGIRI Upon learning that you had departed for Kugane, we immediately resolved to give chase. Our comrades can manage affairs in our absence, and it seemed the least we could do.
175 171 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04004_001630_LYSE You mean you came all this way just to say good-bye?
176 172 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04004_001640_HIEN That too, aye, but there was something else I felt I had to say.
177 173 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04004_001650_HIEN You helped us win our freedom, and for that I cannot thank you enough.
178 174 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04004_001660_HIEN Accordingly, after we have established an interim government and so forth, I think it only meet that we repay the favor by dispatching our own forces to Eorzea. If you would have us.
179 175 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04004_001670_ALPHINAUD We harbored no expectations of such generous aid...and as there is no telling when the Empire might strike back at you, would it not be wiser to concentrate your resources on the defense of Doma?
180 176 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04004_001680_HIEN I had a mind to pursue a more aggressive defense. To wit, we will send forth shinobi to provinces far and wide to spread word of our victory, that we might inspire others to take up arms as we did.
181 177 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04004_001690_HIEN Even the Empire has its limits. If the Garleans cannot be certain where and when the next rebellion will take place, how can they commit another force to Doma?
182 178 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04004_001700_HIEN And besides...so long as this debt remains unpaid, how am I to face myself? And Gosetsu?
183 179 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04004_001710_ALPHINAUD As you wish. I will relay your offer to the Eorzean Alliance.
184 180 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04004_001720_HIEN All of Doma is counting on you to finish what we have started.
185 181 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04004_001730_HIEN You have it in you, Lyse, to seize the future you want. Never forget.
186 182 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04004_001740_LYSE I won't, Hien─not your words or anything else. Everything that led us here, that will drive us forward─I'll carry it with me, always. And that's a promise.
187 183 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04004_001750_HIEN Hah hah! I will hold you to that!
188 184 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04004_001760_HIEN Go with them to Eorzea. Tell their people of our triumph, and of our pledge to stand with them.
189 185 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04004_001770_YUGIRI By your leave, I shall pave the way for our new alliance.
190 186 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04004_001780_TATARU Hurry up, you lot! The ship's about to weigh anchor!
191 187 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04004_001790_HIEN It seems our time is at an end. Go well, my friends...and may we meet again beneath a western sky.

200 196 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04004_001870_ZENOS You. Give the Butcher your weapon.
201 197 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04004_001880_GARLEANLEADERD (-Imperial Pilus Prior-)My...? Yes, my lord!

203 199 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04004_001900_ZENOS A reward given in recognition of your service. I trust you will prove more capable than its former owner.

205 201 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04004_001920_ZENOS Good. Now, silence that mewling little piglet. I would not hear another sound pass her lips...until I strip the fat from her.

5 1 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04005_000020_ALISAIE Very well, allow me...
6 2 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04005_000030_RAUBAHN ...Such victories are rarely won without sacrifice. But the prize is worth the price. Doma free, after all these years.
7 3 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04005_000040_CONRAD Bloody hells... Flooding their own castle for a better chance at victory... We could learn a thing or two from that lad.
8 4 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04005_000050_PIPIN Our agents report a flurry of communications between Garlemald and Ala Mhigo in recent days. 'Tis plain they are in the midst of deliberating their response to the Doman uprising.
9 5 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04005_000060_RAUBAHN Good. Every imperial unit in occupied territory will be on the lookout for civil unrest. The fear of leaving critical locations undefended will make commanders think twice about committing their forces─giving us a chance to seize the initiative.
10 6 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04005_000070_CONRAD We have a chance, aye─mayhap the last one we're ever gonna get. While we've done our best to rebuild the Resistance, the imperials have only increased their efforts to root out sympathizers.
11 7 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04005_000080_CONRAD If we keep on playing for smaller prizes, it's only a matter of time before they crush us again. And that we won't come back from.
12 8 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04005_000090_PIPIN A swift advance seems best for all concerned. Not least poor Mistress Krile.
13 9 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04005_000100_RAUBAHN Then let us waste no more time. The campaign for Ala Mhigan liberation begins now!
14 10 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04005_000110_RAUBAHN Our first objective will be to capture Castellum Velodyna. Take the bridge, and the whole of the Fringes will be ours. From there, we can push east towards the Peaks.

16 12 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04005_000130_CONRAD It's begun, then.
17 13 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04005_000140_MNAAGO Good. It's the waiting that drives me mad. Standing around, knowing what's to come. I'll never get used to it.
18 14 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04005_000150_LYSE Calm down, Naago. You're making her nervous.

44 40 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04005_000400_LYSE ...I suppose. It's our first victory, isn't it? And that has to be worth something.
45 41 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04005_000410_MNAAGO Ah, you've come. Welcome, friends, to my village. My home.
46 42 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04005_000420_ALPHINAUD How fare your people?
47 43 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04005_000430_MNAAGO Good, all things considered. Better than the Ananta, at any rate... They've sent an emissary. I'll take you to her.
48 44 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04005_000440_LYSE We're here to help. Will you tell us what happened?
49 45 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04005_000450_VIRASOLDIER Aye. It began with a quarrel between the imperials and the Qalyana.
50 46 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04005_000460_MNAAGO The Qalyana are another Ananta tribe─the strongest and the most influential.
51 47 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04005_000470_MNAAGO Unlike the Vira, they want no part of our troubles. They swore fealty to the Empire and were content to remain within their borders.
52 48 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04005_000480_VIRASOLDIER Jussst ssso. The Qalyana forsssook their pride and the fight, and yielded to Garlemald long ago.
53 49 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04005_000490_VIRASOLDIER But then a new commander was sssent to hold the black bridge. She demanded the Qalyana sssurrender a hossstage, thisss Butcher.
54 50 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04005_000500_LYSE Fordola. It doesn't make sense, though... The Vira are the ones working with the Resistance. Why would she threaten the Qalyana?
55 51 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04005_000510_VIRASOLDIER Because she is ignorant, like all imperials. She knows not the difference between Qalyana and Vira, nor does she care to learn.
56 52 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04005_000520_ALPHINAUD I see. All Fordola knew for sure was that the Resistance would come from the west. She reasoned, therefore, that if the Ananta on the east bank turned their coats, she would be trapped. I take it the Qalyana had no choice but to oblige her.
57 53 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04005_000530_VIRASOLDIER No, they did not. The imperials left with the Qalyana broodmother's own daughter, Anamika.
58 54 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04005_000540_VIRASOLDIER Long days and nightsss she looked out on the black bridge, weeping for her child. Until you came.
59 55 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04005_000550_VIRASOLDIER The broodmother knew at once which way the winds would blow. She and her warriors met with the fleeing imperials in the road and demanded that her daughter be returned.
60 56 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04005_000560_LYSE Bad idea... Fordola's not the kind to take threats lying down.
61 57 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04005_000570_VIRASOLDIER You know her well. The Butcher turned her blade to Anamika and bade the Qalyana move aside.
62 58 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04005_000580_VIRASOLDIER But the broodmother would not yield.
63 59 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04005_000590_ALISAIE I know where this is going...
64 60 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04005_000600_VIRASOLDIER The Qalyana sssurrounded the imperials, one of whom, whether out of fear or ssstupidity, cut the child down. There was naught that could be done.
65 61 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04005_000610_ALISAIE What madness...
66 62 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04005_000620_VIRASOLDIER The true madnesss was yet to come. For in her dessspair, the Qalyana broodmother cried out for her daughter to be ressstored to life. She bessseeched Sri Lakshmi's intercession.
67 63 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04005_000630_ALPHINAUD She summoned a primal, then and there?
68 64 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04005_000640_VIRASOLDIER That she did, if only for an inssstant. Bereft of courage and honor, the broodmother sssought sssolace in her faith.
69 65 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04005_000650_VIRASOLDIER The imperials fled in terror at the sssight of the goddesss, abandoning these lands to the Ananta...
70 66 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04005_000660_VIRASOLDIER Now the Qalyana bid usss make pilgrimage, to pay proper ressspectsss. Yet though we Vira revere Sri Lakshmi as the holiessst of the holy, we will not prossstrate ourssselves before Her.
71 67 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04005_000670_ALISAIE And so you turned to us.
72 68 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04005_000680_VIRASOLDIER Aye. All who have fought with the Resissstance have heard tell of the warrior. The eikon-ssslayer.
73 69 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04005_000690_ALPHINAUD I believe we have heard enough. Inconvenient though the timing may be, if a primal has indeed been summoned, we can scarce afford to ignore it. We must needs discuss how best to resolve this situation.
74 70 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04005_000700_QALYANAPATRIARCH Why, Missstresss... Why does my Anamika ssslumber ssstill?
75 71 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04005_000710_LAKSHMI Look thee on her face, sssupplicant. Thy prayer hath been anssswered.
76 72 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04005_000720_LAKSHMI Flesh sssundered hath been made whole. Blood ssspilt runneth through her veins. Breath ssstolen filleth her breassst.
77 73 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04005_000730_QALYANAPATRIARCH But she hears not her mother's words, nor sssees her mother's face! She...she is sssilent...and empty...
78 74 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04005_000740_LAKSHMI Only the vesssel may be remade. Not so the flame which flickered within. Her soul hath been scattered to the four winds.
79 75 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04005_000750_ALISAIE Now do you see her promises for what they are!?
80 76 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04005_000760_ALPHINAUD Alisaie! Have you gone mad!?
81 77 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04005_000770_ALISAIE Mayhap I have! But I refuse to stand by and watch yet another tragedy unfold!

83 79 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04005_000790_ALISAIE No! We come not to shed blood but to save you from the false god who would lead you astray!
84 80 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04005_000800_ALISAIE I understand how you feel, I do. You loved her with all your heart, but when the moment came, you still couldn't save her. The anguish, the anger... I know it only too well.
85 81 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04005_000810_ALISAIE But I also know where this path leads! To embrace a primal is to condemn yourself to an endless cycle of despair. You will never know peace!
86 82 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04005_000820_LAKSHMI A worm-eaten heart may find peace and ssserenity in ssservice. In beauty and grace. Thisss hath ever been my promissse. Naught elssse.
87 83 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04005_000830_ALISAIE You tempt them with visions of things that can never be, and leave them bereft and wanting!
88 84 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04005_000840_ALISAIE No illusion, however sweet, can change the fact that your daughter is gone. Remember her as she was! Do not suffer this piteous shade to tarnish her memory!
89 85 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04005_000850_LYSE For every prayer that primal “answers,” it'll demand payment in kind. Do you have any idea how many more Ananta will die to feed its hunger for crystals!?
90 86 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04005_000860_LAKSHMI They would have thee sssuffer man's ssspite and live in fear. Far better to dwell in my beauteousss dream than endure ssso ugly a reality.
91 87 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04005_000870_LYSE She's wrong! We hate the Empire as much as you! If you'd just listen─
92 88 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04005_000880_LAKSHMI Poor, misssguided children. I would ssspare you the tormentsss of thisss cruel and misshapen world. Come, basssk in my radiance. Let it fill your heartsss and free you from your burdens.
93 89 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04005_000890_ALISAIE [FRUSTRATED GRUNT]

95 91 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04005_000910_LAKSHMI Leave these lands and my dreamers be. I will not warn you a second time.
96 92 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04005_000920_LYSE You did it again. You saved them. I just wish I could've been more help...
97 93 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04005_000930_LYSE So...it looks like the Ananta did have a mountain of crystals after all. Like every other tribe. Gods, we're all such slaves to our weaknesses...
98 94 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04005_000940_QALYANAPATRIARCH You! You ssslew our Missstresss! She was our hope, our sssalvation! Is there no end to your cruelty!?

100 96 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04005_000960_LYSE But that's how we all feel, don't you see? If we could just turn to each other for help instead of the gods, I'm sure we could find a way to live in peace!
101 97 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04005_000970_LYSE Your crystals are important to you, aren't they? Reflections of your souls, right? Well, you shouldn't have to sacrifice something so precious to a primal...
102 98 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04005_000980_QALYANAPATRIARCH Who are you to quessstion our choice? You who fight without fear? We wish only to live in peace, and if thisss be the price we must pay, then ssso be it!
103 99 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04005_000990_LYSE I know there's nothing I can say to convince you. But I hope that one day you look back and see we only ever wanted the same thing.

116 112 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04005_001110_FORDOLA I am terrified of dying having achieved naught. Gladly would I give my life to win a great victory on the battlefield, had I but the strength.
117 113 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04005_001120_ZENOS Alas, you do not. Indeed, you are weak. And born of this weakness is a blind fervor. A raging inferno which threatens to consume not only you, but everyone around you.
118 114 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04005_001130_FORDOLA Yes, my lord.
119 115 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04005_001140_ZENOS You were defeated by the Resistance on several occasions. You misjudged the Ananta and spurred them into summoning an eikon. Have you anything to say?
120 116 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04005_001150_FORDOLA I do not, my lord. My failures are my own. I am prepared to accept your judgment.
121 117 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04005_001160_ZENOS And that is very admirable. However, I've had enough of this dumb show. Give voice to that hunger I see in your eyes, or I will pluck them from your head.
122 118 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04005_001170_FORDOLA I...I want...
123 119 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04005_001180_FORDOLA I want to make them pay! All of them! Everyone who ever mocked or looked down on me─I want the power to make them pay!
124 120 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04005_001190_ZENOS ...Hm. Very well.
125 121 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04005_001200_ZENOS Then I shall give you a chance. A chance to transcend your mortal limits. Assuming, that is, you are prepared to wager your life for such power.
126 122 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04005_001210_FORDOLA Transcend, my lord...?
127 123 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04005_001220_FORDOLA I came here prepared to die. Tell me what I must do.
128 124 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04005_001230_LYSENARRATION I remember how they laughed. Alliance and Resistance soldiers, eager for battle, trading jokes as we marched east towards the Peaks...
129 125 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04005_001240_LYSENARRATION Beyond this last line of defenses lay the Lochs and the city. Breaching it would be no small feat.
130 126 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04005_001250_LYSENARRATION But we beat the imperials back, just like that, and we liberated a village. The first of many...
131 127 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04005_001259_SYSTEM_NONE_VOICE Meanwhile, deep within an imperial research facility...
132 128 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04005_001260_FORDOLA My...my head...
133 129 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04005_001270_ZENOS Let us see...
134 130 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04005_001280_ZENOS So...she lives. Impressive...or merely lucky. Though that too may prove a useful trait.
135 131 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04005_001290_FORDOLA My lord...what have you done to me...?
136 132 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04005_001300_DRUSUS Though we Garleans are intellectually and physiologically superior in almost all respects, we lack the hereditary traits required for the reliable manipulation of aether─hence our unique inability to wield magicks.
137 133 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04005_001310_DRUSUS This deficiency, for want of a better word, saw us subjected to decades of oppression by the lesser races, and we were eventually driven to seek shelter in the cold northern reaches of Ilsabard.
138 134 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04005_001320_DRUSUS Fortunately, said region was replete with vast deposits of ceruleum, which proved instrumental in the development of magitek: a revolutionary technology conceived to compensate for our disadvantage.
139 135 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04005_001330_DRUSUS It was with magitek that we grew strong─that our nation became an empire. Yet ultimately, this was an extrinsic solution to an intrinsic problem. What I wanted was not a crude device to be used in lieu of magic.
140 136 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04005_001340_DRUSUS Through modification of the Garlean genome, I argued that it might be possible to enhance a subject's ability to manipulate aether, effectively empowering them to wield magicks. Alas, my theories were met with consternation in the imperial court. Only Lord Zenos, with commendable foresight and wisdom, deigned to support my research.
141 137 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04005_001350_FORDOLA ...You gave me this treatment? But I'm not Garlean.
142 138 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04005_001360_ZENOS Ala Mhigan, through and through.
143 139 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04005_001370_ZENOS What you have been granted is far greater than mere magic. Before that lesser light, it is as a second sun.
144 140 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04005_001380_DRUSUS I am informed that Ala Ghiri was recently occupied by the Resistance, and that an attack on Specula Imperatoris is considered imminent. This could provide an ideal opportunity to test her performance in the field.
145 141 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04005_001390_ZENOS Your...Skulls, was it? They have joined the garrison at the watchtower?
146 142 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04005_001400_FORDOLA ...Yes, my lord. By your leave, I would rendezvous with them and lead a counterattack against the insurgents.
147 143 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04005_001410_ZENOS No. Even were you to leave now, you would not arrive in time. There is another duty I would entrust to you...
148 144 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04005_001420_THANCRED ...Found you.
149 145 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04005_001430_RAUBAHN Ho! You've improved, lad!
150 146 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04005_001440_PIPIN Come now, Father. You lured the fool onto my blade, and do not try to deny it!
151 147 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04005_001450_RAUBAHN Our work here is all but done. What of Conrad and his men?
152 148 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04005_001460_PIPIN They are for the main tower. The Skulls have offered fierce resistance thus far, but Conrad seems to believe he can convince them to lay down their arms...
153 149 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04005_001470_RAUBAHN Then we will tend to the stragglers down below. With me!
154 150 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04005_001480_FORDOLA Report.
155 151 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04005_001490_GARLEANOFFICER Enemy forces have overrun the lower facilities, and appear to be mounting an assault on the main tower. We have already received a request for reinforcements.
156 152 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04005_001500_GARLEANOFFICER A unit of legionaries has been mustered and is ready to depart. They await your orders, Commander.
157 153 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04005_001510_FORDOLA Stand down.
158 154 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04005_001520_GARLEANOFFICER Commander?
159 155 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04005_001530_FORDOLA Tell them to stand down.
160 156 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04005_001540_GARLEANOFFICER Commander, if I may! Our people─your people are still in there! They will be slaughtered!
161 157 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04005_001550_FORDOLA You think I don't know that!? I want nothing more than to help them─to lead the bloody charge─but I have my orders!
162 158 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04005_001560_FORDOLA Lord Zenos said no reinforcements. He would have us use the main cannon to destroy the installation.
163 159 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04005_001570_GARLEANOFFICER What...kill our own soldiers!? You must be mistaken!
164 160 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04005_001580_FORDOLA Mayhap you'd like to ask Lord Zenos yourself?
165 161 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04005_001590_FORDOLA I thought not. Initiate the firing sequence.
166 162 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04005_001600_FORDOLA Wars are won on the backs of the dead. Theirs and ours. There is no truth but this. We must remain firm and resolute, and always, always do our duty. Now, give the order!
167 163 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04005_001610_GARLEANOFFICER Initiate firing sequence!
168 164 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04005_001620_GARLEANHARPOONER Aye, aye, initiating firing sequence! Release safety locks...deploy main cannon!
169 165 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04005_001630_FORDOLA Ansfrid, Hrudolf, Emelin... For us. For our people. For our future.
170 166 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04005_001640_GARLEANOFFICER I need you to confirm the target, Commander.
171 167 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04005_001650_FORDOLA Specula Imperatoris, main tower. Fire when ready.
172 168 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04005_001660_RAUBAHN What in the seven hells!?

175 171 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04005_001690_PIPIN Understood!

178 174 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04005_001720_ALPHINAUD It...it was all so sudden. Conrad had just convinced the last few Skulls to surrender, when...when we heard the bang, and...and everything started to shake...
179 175 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04005_001730_ALPHINAUD We carried the survivors to safety, but Conrad is... We have done what we can for him. All that remains is to pray.
180 176 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04005_001740_CONRAD Ugh...

182 178 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04005_001760_CONRAD Is...is that you, Lyse? Can't...can't see a damn thing...
183 179 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04005_001770_CONRAD Well, that's that, then. Time's up.
184 180 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04005_001780_LYSE What are you talking about!? You'll be on your feet before you know it!
185 181 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04005_001790_CONRAD It's all right, Lyse. I've lived long enough. But listen... I want...I want you to lead the Resistance in my stead.
186 182 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04005_001800_LYSE Don't say another word! You'll recover─we'll recover! We'll bring freedom to Ala Mhigo together! We're not going to stop here!
187 183 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04005_001810_CONRAD No...no, you won't. Everything we've built, everyone we've brought together...I know you'll show them the way...
188 184 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04005_001820_CONRAD You've got it in you, Lyse. Not because you're Curtis's daughter, or Yda's sister, but because...because you're you. Because you're you...
189 185 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04005_001830_LYSE Conrad...
190 186 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04005_001840_CONRAD Lead them to victory. To freedom.
191 187 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04005_001850_LYSE I will, Conrad. I will. I promise.
192 188 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04005_001859_SYSTEM_NONE_VOICE Meanwhile, in the chaos of Castrum Abania...
193 189 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04005_001860_G3F1IMPERIALCENTURION Next round! Double the charge!
194 190 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04005_001870_ESTINIEN Come, Nidhogg. We are needed.

199 195 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04005_001920_G3F1IMPERIALCENTURION Notify all units─I want that intruder found! And get the engineers to fix my bloody cannon!

201 197 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04005_001940_ALISAIE Are you all right!?
202 198 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04005_001950_ALISAIE Ah...I think that answers my question. We have accomplished our objectives as well.
203 199 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04005_001960_ALPHINAUD Lyse's unit should be advancing upon the fire control center in the command tower. Let us join them.
204 200 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04005_001970_ALPHINAUD Lyse! Thank the Twelve you're all right.
205 201 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04005_001980_LYSE And you! There's the control center. Let's hit them hard and fast. Ready?
206 202 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04005_001990_FORDOLA They're here!
207 203 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04005_002000_LYSE It was you, wasn't it... Wasn't it!?
208 204 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04005_002010_FORDOLA Aye, I gave the order to fire.
209 205 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04005_002020_LYSE It was over! The Skulls had surrendered! No one else had to die! And you killed them! Your own people! Your own comrades!
210 206 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04005_002030_FORDOLA You're right. I killed them. Ansfrid, Hrudolf, Emelin, all the rest─trained and fought with every last one of them. Good soldiers to a man.
211 207 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04005_002040_FORDOLA I gave the order that led to their deaths...and I knew exactly what I was doing.
212 208 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04005_002050_LYSE But why!? Why would you do that!?
213 209 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04005_002060_FORDOLA They died so that all Ala Mhigans could live free. That was all we ever wanted.
214 210 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04005_002070_FORDOLA We made a promise that we would do whatever it took so that one day...one day the imperials would learn to accept us.
215 211 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04005_002080_FORDOLA But everything comes at a price. And if you haven't got the means to pay, then you pay with blood.
216 212 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04005_002090_FORDOLA Service guarantees citizenship, but citizenship guarantees naught. It's not enough to do your part, oh no. You have to run faster, fight harder, kill more and more and more─and only then will you be equal.
217 213 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04005_002100_FORDOLA That's just how it is out here in the provinces. You buy your freedom with blood─there is no other way!
218 214 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04005_002110_LYSE Shut up! Shut your mouth! You don't get to talk about freedom! You killed your own! They trusted you and you killed them!
219 215 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04005_002120_LYSE Murderer! Butcher! Traitor!
220 216 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04005_002130_ALISAIE Lyse!
221 217 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04005_002140_LYSE Gotcha!
222 218 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04005_002150_ALISAIE Huh!?
223 219 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04005_002160_FORDOLA I know what you can do. I've already seen it.
224 220 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04005_002170_ALPHINAUD Alisaie!
225 221 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04005_002180_FORDOLA Even so, the odds are against me...
226 222 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04005_002190_LYSE Coward! Get back here!
227 223 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04005_002200_FORDOLA Hero! Lord Zenos invites you to join him for the royal hunt, to be hosted at the palace. You may bring your horde, if you like. All are welcome.
228 224 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04005_002210_ALPHINAUD She'll be all right, but we'll need to carry her. Will you help me?
229 225 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04005_002220_ALPHINAUD Thank you. Lyse, I leave matters here in your hands.
230 226 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04005_002230_LYSE Uh, right...
231 227 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04005_002240_RAUBAHN I wanted to show you this house. My house.
232 228 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04005_002250_LYSE You mean...this is where you grew up?
233 229 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04005_002260_RAUBAHN Aye. Not much to look at, is it?
234 230 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04005_002270_RAUBAHN Same could be said of the village. It was damn near impossible to live off the land, barren as it was─which is why so many of us traded our plowshares for swords.
235 231 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04005_002280_RAUBAHN Swords and uniforms, mind. We became military men. Tensions were rising between Ala Mhigo and the Empire, and there was always a need for more soldiers to watch the border. 'Twas only a matter of time before the first skirmishes broke out.
236 232 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04005_002290_RAUBAHN It is a frightening thing to face magitek armor for the first time. But after a lot of trial and error, I found ways to bring them down. After a few victories, people even said I had a knack for it.
237 233 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04005_002300_RAUBAHN And then one day they hit us. Hard. I was wounded and sent home to recover. Back here...
238 234 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04005_002310_CURTIS Will you remain silent for fear of the mad king's vengeance? Of his eyes and ears in the shadows and his knives in the dark? You who call this “living” dishonor our nation─it is but a slow death!
239 235 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04005_002320_CURTIS Liberty or death. Liberty or death! If this be your creed, then raise up your hands! Raise up your voices! Together we will tear Theodoric from the throne! Together we will reclaim our freedom!
240 236 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04005_002330_CURTIS Sent you home to mend, did they?
241 237 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04005_002340_RAUBAHN Aye, sir. Garleans got the better of us. The...the chirurgeons say I'm healing well, so it won't be long now.
242 238 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04005_002350_CURTIS Liberty or death, is it? Tell me, soldier: what do you think those words mean?
243 239 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04005_002360_RAUBAHN We...we must needs be willing to die for liberty?
244 240 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04005_002370_CURTIS Spoken like a true patriot. But liberty should not be the end in of itself.
245 241 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04005_002380_CURTIS Liberty is the chance to build something better. A stronger, more prosperous home for our people. It's not quick or easy work, and it is never truly finished─but if you neglect it, then sooner or later, you look up to find you've traded one tyrant for another.
246 242 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04005_002390_RAUBAHN Well, sir, I...I've never asked for much. Never wanted to live like a king─just wish it were a little bit easier is all. For me and everyone else. And I'm...I'm willing to die for that, if that's what it takes!
247 243 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04005_002400_CURTIS Dying is easy, soldier. Living is harder.
248 244 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04005_002410_CURTIS Rest. Mend. Regain your strength. You'll need it in the days to come...and mayhap one day we will need it too.
249 245 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04005_002420_RAUBAHN Conrad chose you as his successor, Lyse, and I will not gainsay his decision. I have but one question to ask.
250 246 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04005_002430_RAUBAHN Liberty or death. Those were Curtis's words, and his creed. Will you swear by your father's creed before your comrades and the gods?
251 247 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04005_002440_LYSE Liberty or death... That's all you can hope for in war. Father understood that...and you want to know if I do too.
252 248 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04005_002450_LYSE I swear to you, here and now: I will fight until the end, be it liberty or be it death.
253 249 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04005_002460_LYSE But the freedom we win must be for every Ala Mhigan─even ones like Fordola, though they may hate us, and the Ananta, though they may fear us.
254 250 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04005_002470_LYSE We'll fight and we'll talk and we'll find a way to make it work for all of us. Compared to all that, retaking our home will seem like the easy part.
255 251 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04005_002480_RAUBAHN Hmm. A good oath. Then there is naught else to say. You are indeed your father's daughter...
256 252 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04005_002490_LYSE Sorry to have kept you waiting...
257 253 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04005_002500_LYSE Well, what do you think? I know it's a bit old-fashioned...but in a traditional sort of way. Yda wore it whenever she could...
258 254 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04005_002510_LYSE Not that I'm pretending to be her or anything! Not again. It's just...if this is the last battle we fight to free Ala Mhigo, then she ought to be a part of it.
259 255 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04005_Q1_000_001_NONE_VOICE What will you say?
260 256 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04005_A1_000_001_NONE_VOICE It suits you.
261 257 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04005_A1_000_002_NONE_VOICE It's not quite your style...
262 258 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04005_A1_000_003_NONE_VOICE ...
263 259 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04005_002520_LYSE It's nice of you to say so. Aaand a bit embarrassing. But mostly nice.
264 260 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04005_002530_LYSE Oh, I know, right? All these stupid frills everywhere...
265 261 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04005_002540_LYSE Well don't just stand there gawping! If you don't like it, just say so!
266 262 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04005_002550_LYSE Anyway, the real reason I asked you here was to sneak in a warm-up before the final battle.
267 263 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04005_002560_LYSE There's this place I know where monks used to spar as part of their training. Care to join me?

4 0 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04006_000010_LYSENARRATION I remember my father's words. How they rang in my ears as we left Castrum Abania behind and looked out over the lochs before us.
5 1 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04006_000020_LYSENARRATION Comrades brave and true. They had come from all across Eorzea to stand with us. To stand against oppression and tyranny.
6 2 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04006_000030_LYSENARRATION Twenty years the Empire had ruled us, but no longer. Liberty or death. Liberty or death.
7 3 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04006_000040_RAUBAHN Ere we begin, I would say to you, as a proud son of Ala Mhigo, that I am grateful to each and every one of you for your part in this endeavor.
8 4 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04006_000050_RAUBAHN Now, to the heart of the matter. The enemy appears content to remain within the city walls and await the inevitable siege. Open conflict has been sporadic thus far.
9 5 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04006_000060_RAUBAHN Whether Zenos is biding his time until reinforcements arrive or attempting to bait us into a trap, none can say. We know better than to trust his word.
10 6 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04006_000070_PIPIN Regardless, we can ill afford to present Garlemald with a chance to ready her legions. It would be in our best interests to press for a swift resolution.
11 7 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04006_000080_LYSE A long siege wouldn't be good for the people in the city either. If food becomes scarce, you know who'll starve first.
12 8 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04006_000090_RAUBAHN Just so. Therefore, I propose we commit our forces to an all-out assault. What say you?
13 9 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04006_000100_RAUBAHN 'Twould seem we are of one mind. Then let us proceed to the how of it.
14 10 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04006_000110_RAUBAHN The Immortal Flames will form the vanguard, supported by the archers and the conjurers of the Order of the Twin Adder, under the Elder Seedseer's command.
15 11 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04006_000120_RAUBAHN Once the main host has cleared a path to the walls, we will bring forward the artillery of the Maelstrom and the Temple Knights.
16 12 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04006_000130_RAUBAHN I would have your cannons pound the gates, and punch a hole right through the middle of their defenses!
17 13 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04006_000140_LYSE What about the Resistance?
18 14 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04006_000150_RAUBAHN Your part will be to occupy the residential district and keep civilians out of harm's way. The people are more like to trust their own.
19 15 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04006_000160_LYSE Of course. You can count on us!
20 16 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04006_000170_RAUBAHN Remember that there is a second entrance to the city proper there. If all goes to plan, we will have secured two points of entry.
21 17 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04006_000180_RAUBAHN Once both objectives are complete, we press on into the city, surround the palace, and hunt down Zenos.
22 18 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04006_000190_RAUBAHN As for the Scions, you will be held in reserve as an irregular unit until we have more intelligence on your captured comrade. Krile's rescue will be your primary concern, but I daresay we'll find a use for you once her freedom has been secured.
23 19 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04006_000200_ALPHINAUD Thank you, General. I pray we find her quickly.
24 20 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04006_000210_RAUBAHN Rhalgr's Beacon nears its end. Soon, my friends, Ala Mhigo will be ours once more!

30 26 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04006_000270_LYSE Conrad, Meffrid, your own comrades! I should kill you here and now for what you did!
31 27 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04006_000280_LYSE But there's no place for that kind of justice here. Not in my Ala Mhigo.
32 28 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04006_000290_FORDOLA Oh, how very bloody noble of you! Pffft. You'll pardon me my sins, will you? After you and your “freedom fighters” come and tear down everything we've worked so hard to build!? We were fighting for our people's freedom!
33 29 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04006_000300_LYSE You're slaves to a tyrant! There's no freedom in that!
34 30 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04006_000310_ALPHINAUD Now, my friend!

36 32 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04006_000330_KRILE Alphinaud...?
37 33 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04006_000340_KRILE ...I knew you'd come.
38 34 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04006_000350_THANCRED Touching as this moment is, it will have to wait. We should rejoin the main force at once.
39 35 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04006_000360_THANCRED Lyse!
40 36 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04006_000370_LYSE I'm taking her back with us. Alive. She's going to answer for what she's done.
41 37 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04006_000380_FORDOLA Heh heh heh...listen to you, talking like you've already won. Zenos is going to tear you apart. He commands a power echoing that of the eikons.
42 38 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04006_000390_LYSE What are you talking about?
43 39 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04006_000400_FORDOLA The hunt, you stupid cow─I'm talking about the hunt! He said you'd come. And here you are, his willing prey.
44 40 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04006_000410_FORDOLA You and your friends are dead─just like mine. And all our misery, all our sacrifice...it was all for naught!
45 41 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04006_000420_LYSE ...No. You're gonna live long enough to see us win our freedom. I promise you that.
46 42 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04006_000430_FORDOLA May I live a thousand years...
47 43 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04006_000440_THANCRED Interrogations can wait. Let us be off!
48 44 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04006_000450_RAUBAHN Ah, the heroes of the hour! Not content with securing the residential district, you gifted me an imperial commander. What are you after, a medal?
49 45 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04006_000460_ALPHINAUD The work is its own reward, General. I must say, however, that Fordola's claims were not a little disturbing. What manner of power could Zenos have acquired that might equal an eikon?
50 46 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04006_000470_RAUBAHN Might she speak of our missing Omega?
51 47 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04006_000480_ALPHINAUD Very possibly. The Empire's fondness for comparable Allagan technologies is exceedingly well-documented. Have we made any progress with our own investigation?
52 48 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04006_000490_RAUBAHN None. The search goes on in earnest, but Cid has thus far found nothing of note. Mayhap the Garleans beat us to it. If they were working desperately to repair the machine, that might explain their decision to remain within their walls...
53 49 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04006_000500_ALPHINAUD Ah, Lyse. I trust you surrendered Fordola into custody without incident. We were just discussing the pilus's claims.
54 50 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04006_000510_LYSE About Zenos and his newfound powers? She hasn't said a word on the subject since we rescued Krile─even when the interrogator asked nicely.
55 51 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04006_000520_KRILE Mayhap I can offer some insight into her claims─or at least into the facility and the experiments they conducted during my time there. Though my memories of the period are somewhat muddled, there are a few things I remember with painful clarity.
56 52 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04006_000530_ALPHINAUD Thancred told us only that Fordola had undergone some...manner of treatment...
57 53 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04006_000540_KRILE Yes... It is a place wholly dedicated to the creation of enhanced beings whom they refer to as “the Resonant.” As I understand it, the process aims to imbue a test subject with the qualities of an individual with demonstrated magical aptitude. This entails... This entails the m-mechanical extraction and transfusion of some manner of...primordial essence.
58 54 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04006_000550_LYSE So that's how Fordola improved so fast. I knew there had to be something. She wasn't half as strong or quick to predict my attacks when we first met.
59 55 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04006_000560_LYSE If it weren't for Urianger's siphon thingy, I really don't think we'd have beaten her...
60 56 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04006_000570_URIANGER My humble scheme asked far more in the execution than it required in the conception, I do assure thee.
61 57 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04006_000580_LYSE Oh, you have got to stop doing that.
62 58 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04006_000590_URIANGER In calling upon Lady Alisaie after her defeat, I was most intrigued to learn of the apparent effortlessness with which Fordola countered her attacks. 'Twas as if she knew the blade's destination ere its journey began.
63 59 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04006_000600_URIANGER A most impressive feat under any circumstances, but an almost miraculous one when considered in the context of Fordola's unfamiliarity with my lady's arts. How then could she so perfectly predict an unknown opponent's every move?
64 60 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04006_000610_URIANGER After much deliberation, I surmised that Fordola may be possessed of a preternatural ability to divine meaning from the fluctuations of an individual's aether, and to instinctively react. To employ a metaphor, one might say that she was attuned to the whispers of my lady Alisaie's soul.
65 61 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04006_000620_ALPHINAUD Wait! Have you not just described a manifestation of the Echo?
66 62 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04006_000630_URIANGER I had no conclusive proof. The available anecdotal evidence suggested only that Fordola was uncommonly sensitive to aetheric fluctuations, and 'twas this which led me to develop my stratagem.
67 63 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04006_000640_URIANGER I would fashion a device with the capacity to generate a massive disruption in the surrounding aether. If, as I suspected, Fordola's senses were indeed questing for the most minor of oscillations, the shock of exposure to a more amplitudinous aetheric waveform would be akin to a debilitating bout of aether sickness.
68 64 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04006_000650_ALPHINAUD How...ingenious. I note that the success of your plan hinged on your device's wielder remaining ignorant of its purpose, lest Fordola divine your intent.
69 65 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04006_000660_URIANGER Indeed so, Master Alphinaud. All things considered, 'twas a most fortuitous outcome.
70 66 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04006_000670_KRILE That's putting it mildly. In any event, if Urianger is correct, that would mean these Resonant have been granted the power of the Echo via artificial means. A sobering thought to say the least─and one which makes me wonder what else Zenos has in store.
71 67 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04006_000680_RAUBAHN Whatever the viceroy's newfound powers, I know of none better equipped to face him. And face him you must. For there is now but one path forward, and it leads straight to Ala Mhigo.
72 68 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04006_000690_LYSE And it's not as if we came unprepared. We've got all our friends and allies fighting for the same thing. Honestly, right now, I feel like we could take on anyone and win. And I mean anyone!
73 69 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04006_Q1_000_001_NONE_VOICE What will you say?
74 70 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04006_A1_000_001_NONE_VOICE Victory is as good as ours!
75 71 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04006_A1_000_002_NONE_VOICE Nevertheless, let us proceed with all due caution.
76 72 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04006_A1_000_003_NONE_VOICE ...
77 73 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04006_000700_LYSE Exactly! Ohhh, I wouldn't want to be in Zenos's boots! Not with the likes of us coming to get him!
78 74 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04006_000710_LYSE Well, no one's saying we shouldn't be cautious! ...Though maybe I was getting a bit carried away.
79 75 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04006_000720_LYSE Enough talking! All right, all right! I get the message! Action is what's needed now!
80 76 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04006_000730_LYSE Right─I'd best get back to the residential district. Thancred and the Resistance forces are waiting.
81 77 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04006_000740_ALPHINAUD It is time we joined the main host.
82 78 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04006_000750_ALPHINAUD Krile, in light of your recent ordeal...might I suggest that you remain with the rear guard for now?
83 79 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04006_000760_KRILE Oh, if you insist...just this once.
84 80 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04006_000770_PIPIN Ah, you are returned. Were your negotiations with the wolfmen successful?
85 81 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04006_000780_ALPHINAUD The one they call the White was receptive to our words once we told him of Doma's liberation.
86 82 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04006_000790_ALPHINAUD They withdrew behind the walls to inform their brethren. If the gods are good, no blood shall be shed between our peoples this day.
87 83 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04006_000800_PIPIN Hear, hear. Now...I think it's time we did something about those gates.
88 84 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04006_000810_PIPIN Thaumaturges, forward!
89 85 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04006_000820_PIPIN Give me hellfire! Give me Ifrit's bloody inferno!

92 88 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04006_000850_PIPIN Damn that armor! We nearly had it!
93 89 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04006_000860_ALPHINAUD Is that─?
94 90 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04006_000870_HIEN Bear witness, my Eorzean brothers and sisters! Doma is come to pay her debts!

98 94 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04006_000910_ALPHINAUD We're through! The way is clear!
99 95 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04006_000920_ZENOS Heh heh heh heh...
100 96 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04006_000930_ZENOS Ahahahahahaha! Yes, yes! Such ferocity, such tenacity!
101 97 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04006_000940_ZENOS I am loath to recall how disappointed I was when first we fought...but finally, finally, after bathing in the blood and offal of your enemies, finally you prove yourself worthy prey for the hunt!
102 98 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04006_000950_ZENOS It fills you even now, doesn't it? The hunger. To bite down on my jugular, to feel the warmth fill your mouth and run over even as you drink deep. Good, good! This is the beast I have longed to face!
103 99 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04006_000960_ZENOS As you sharpened your claws, I too sought newfound strength! But this is no place for a final contest. Come! The heavens shall bear witness to our dance!
104 100 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04006_000970_ZENOS Welcome to the Royal Menagerie.
105 101 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04006_000980_ZENOS The King of Ruin built this place for his foreign queen. He kept it filled with familiar creatures from her homeland. They bored me all.

107 103 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04006_001000_ZENOS Your fates are entwined, are they not, eikon-slayer? This dragon, this...embodiment of unbridled despair, born of a desperate man's burning hatred for the Empire...
108 104 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04006_001010_ZENOS How raw the raging tempest that churns within its breast. No myth made manifest this, but...a being of pure violence.
109 105 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04006_001020_ZENOS Hah hah, mayhap you are the true architect of our design. You who fought the very soul of vengeance to the edge and watched him fall; you who let slip the Allagan hound to drive this eikon into my arms!
110 106 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04006_001030_ZENOS Oh... My. Have I said too much? Forgive me, this...sensation is wholly unfamiliar to me.
111 107 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04006_001040_ZENOS A question, then─and I should like very much for you to speak from the heart. If I were to stand aside, what would you do to this eikon?
112 108 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04006_Q2_000_001_NONE_VOICE What will you say?
113 109 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04006_A2_000_001_NONE_VOICE Kill it.
114 110 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04006_A2_000_002_NONE_VOICE Bind it.
115 111 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04006_A2_000_003_NONE_VOICE ...
116 112 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04006_001050_ZENOS Ah. As simple as that. But of course. You are the eikon-slayer. Such certainty is to be expected.
117 113 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04006_001060_ZENOS But have I not already bound it with Omega's restraints? And does not the Seventh Umbral Calamity stand as a testament to the fallibility of such devices? Oh, how quickly we forget.
118 114 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04006_001070_ZENOS Hm. You will not indulge me even with a simple reply, then? No. You think only of the fight to come. How alike we are.
119 115 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04006_001080_ZENOS A pity. There is another alternative. Or there would be...had you only mastered your abilities.
120 116 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04006_001090_ZENOS I speak of the Echo, of course. Does it merely render you immune to eikonic influence? Or is it rather that your influence is far greater than theirs? Granted, these implications are of no moment to a savage, who thinks only of killing the beast before him...
121 117 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04006_001100_ZENOS But when I read van Baelsar's reports, I immediately saw the boundless potential of the Echo. I saw how it could be instrumental in binding an eikon to one's will. Hence my research and the Resonant─and oh so much more!
122 118 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04006_001110_ZENOS All eikons must be exterminated, without exception. Such was the imperial mandate issued by my great-grandfather after he saw firsthand the destruction wrought by one such being. They are a blight upon this star, he felt, and so he began his great and just crusade.
123 119 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04006_001120_ZENOS Pah! 'Twas not justice which spurred his campaign, but fear! Fear of the eikons, fear of their power. Cowardice made them march forth to battle. Pathetic!
124 120 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04006_001130_ZENOS Man should fight for the joy of it. To live, to eat, to breed─lesser beasts snap and howl at one another for this. Only man has the wisdom and the clarity to embrace violence for its own sake.
125 121 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04006_001140_ZENOS For we who are born into this merciless, meaningless world, have but one candle of life to burn.
126 122 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04006_001150_ZENOS I know you understand this. You and I are one and the same. Together, we could while away the quiet hours, as friend and confidant...if you will accept me.
127 123 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04006_Q3_000_001_NONE_VOICE What will you say?
128 124 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04006_A3_000_001_NONE_VOICE I accept you.

131 127 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04006_001170_ZENOS Heh heh...and yet, in doing so, you prove me right. We are warriors. 'Twas plain from the first how this would end.
132 128 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04006_001180_ZENOS You live for these moments─when all hangs in the balance...when the difference between life and death is but a single stroke.
133 129 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04006_001190_ZENOS I live for them too! This is who we are, my friend! This is all we are! Ala Mhigo and Doma and Garlemald be damned!

135 131 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04006_001210_ZENOS And before the Resonant the gods shall be made to kneel!
136 132 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04006_001220_ZENOS An ending to mark a new beginning!

141 137 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04006_001270_ZENOS And yet...there is only joy. Transcendent joy that I have never known. How invigorating, how...pure, this feeling.
142 138 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04006_001280_LYSE Is that what this was all about? All the meaningless death and destruction? So you could feel something!?
143 139 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04006_001290_ZENOS Meaningless? Men die that others may live. Those who survive are stronger for it.
144 140 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04006_001300_ZENOS Not that you could ever understand. To have stood upon this great stage of fools...to have played my part to perfection...
145 141 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04006_001310_ZENOS Oh, this...this moment...let it be enshrined in eternity. My heart...beating out of time... So clear, so vivid, so real... So real.
146 142 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04006_001320_ALPHINAUD Coward!
147 143 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04006_001330_LYSE Stop!
148 144 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04006_001340_ZENOS Farewell, my first friend. My enemy.
149 145 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04006_001350_RAUBAHN Where is he?
150 146 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04006_001360_ALPHINAUD He's dead. By his own hand.
151 147 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04006_001370_ALPHINAUD He's dead. By his own hand.

187 183 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04006_001640_LYSE As long as I serve Ala Mhigo, I can't be a Scion. It might be selfish and shortsighted...but that's my decision.

193 189 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04006_001700_YSHTOLA There you have it. Come what may, you may count on us in your hour of need. We shall never refuse you.

10 6 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04100_000060_LYSE If only it were that easy. Everyone and his uncle has an opinion.
11 7 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04100_000070_LYSE For the time being, we're just going to have to keep leaning on General Aldynn and the Alliance for support, and see if we can't find a solution together. Something tells me we're going to be hosting a lot of meetings in the near future...

16 12 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04100_000120_ARENVALD Don't worry, it's nothing bad. That said, this might not be the best place to talk. Will you join me?
17 13 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04100_000130_ARENVALD I'll get to the point: might you be interested in a spot of adventure?

57 53 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04100_000490_RAUBAHN I say to you, it is our responsibility to give these prisoners a fair trial, that they might answer to all of Ala Mhigo! The Garleans called us savages, and I'll be damned if we prove them right!

131 127 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04100_001170_NANAMOULNAMO It is past time that I learned to discharge my duties as a sultana alone. I must go forth and see my realm with my own eyes, and hear the wind with my own ears.
132 128 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04100_001180_NANAMOULNAMO Might I have your company for a brief adventure?
133 129 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04100_001190_NANAMOULNAMO Wonderful.
134 130 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04100_001191_NANAMOULNAMO Allow me a moment to change into something a touch less conspicuous, and I will join you outside.

150 146 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04100_001250_NANAMOULNAMO So you have. And, in turn, so too shall I keep mine.
151 147 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04100_001260_NANAMOULNAMO With your winnings, you have become one of the six most wealthy souls in all Ul'dah. And so, as tradition dictates, Raubahn Aldynn...

157 153 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04100_001320_LOLORITO You have made your point.
158 154 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04100_001330_LOLORITO 'Tis indeed unsettling to find oneself seated across from an impassive mask.
159 155 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04100_001340_LOLORITO There. Would this better please Your Grace? Or should I address you as “Lady Lilira,” hmm?
160 156 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04100_001350_NANAMOULNAMO Nay, the deception has served its purpose. I am glad to see you found amusement in my little jest, Lord Lolorito, but shall we proceed to the business at hand?
161 157 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04100_001360_LOLORITO By all means. I must say, I am most eager to hear your proposal.
162 158 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04100_001370_NANAMOULNAMO Simply put, I would aid the refugees camped in Thanalan in their efforts to return to Ala Mhigo.
163 159 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04100_001380_NANAMOULNAMO The reparations you paid in the wake of your earlier misdemeanors will be used to fund the endeavor─together with the fortune seized from the late Teledji Adeledji's estate.
164 160 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04100_001390_NANAMOULNAMO But this plan is not intended to benefit the displaced alone. I would make of this an investment which shall enrich Ul'dah and Ala Mhigo both.
165 161 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04100_001400_NANAMOULNAMO And who better to consult on matters of profit than the wealthiest man in all of Thanalan? I beseech you, then, Lord Lolorito...share with us your mercantile wisdom.
166 162 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04100_001410_LOLORITO Ah heh heh... 'Twould seem Your Grace has matured beyond acts of earnest yet misplaced charity. Pray tell me more...
167 163 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04100_001420_LOLORITO To summarize: in return for facilitating the repatriation of refugees, and assisting in the establishment of new industry in Ala Mhigo, you ask that a proportion of all subsequent profits be promised to Ul'dah.
168 164 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04100_001430_LOLORITO I am impressed, Your Grace. 'Tis an elegant solution─albeit one lacking certain crucial details, specifically which industry and where.
169 165 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04100_001440_NANAMOULNAMO How swiftly you identify the weakness in my plan, just as I knew you would.

183 179 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04100_A5_000_001_NONE_VOICE The Saltery.
184 180 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04100_A5_000_002_NONE_VOICE Clearly you want me to say “the Saltery.”
185 181 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04100_001470_LOLORITO Yes, a quarry town certainly does carry the potential for profit─at least, it would do, were it situated anywhere near a lucrative market. It would cost more to transport the materials than they are worth. In my humble opinion.
186 182 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04100_001480_LOLORITO Yes, if a stable trade route can be established between Ul'dah and Ala Mhigo, then Ala Ghiri would once more become an important waypoint. But while such growth would greatly benefit its current residents, I am afraid it could sustain little beyond that...
187 183 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04100_001490_LOLORITO Ah, yes─that desolate little village on the shore of Loch Seld.
188 184 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04100_001500_LOLORITO I know the Saltery and its products well. The imperial invasion brought an end to their more widespread distribution, much to the dismay of many a wealthy gourmand. Myself included.
189 185 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04100_001510_LOLORITO Salt has ever been a transformative ingredient. And in this instance, I daresay it could transform a modicum of effort into a mountain of gil.
190 186 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04100_001520_NANAMOULNAMO The local citizens will need to be consulted, of course, but I trust the East Aldenard Trading Company can be relied upon to provide its assistance in negotiating a mutually beneficial arrangement.
191 187 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04100_001530_LOLORITO Naturally, Your Grace. I shall dispatch representatives well-versed in the extraction of this “white gold,” and wring every last onze of profit from its production.
192 188 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04100_001540_LOLORITO The loch's bounty will contribute to Ala Mhigo's enrichment, whilst easing the burden on the Bull's aching shoulders─just as Your Grace desired.

197 193 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04100_001590_RAUBAHN We must speak of the men Arenvald and his comrades apprehended in the Peaks.
198 194 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04100_001600_PIPIN By their uniforms, the captives were first judged to be imperial troops...but after further investigation, their true identities came to light.
199 195 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04100_001610_PIPIN I daresay you remember Yuyuhase and Laurentius─the fugitives who conspired with Captain Ilberd in the Crystal Braves' betrayal.
200 196 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04100_001620_PIPIN Aye, well...it would seem they followed him all the way to the Wall. It was they who orchestrated the slaughter of the Resistance fighters prior to the Griffin's infernal ritual.
201 197 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04100_001630_RAUBAHN Were it in your hands, how would you punish these men?
202 198 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04100_Q6_000_001_NONE_VOICE What will you say?
203 199 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04100_A6_000_001_NONE_VOICE Their lives would be forfeit.
204 200 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04100_A6_000_002_NONE_VOICE Execution is not the answer.
205 201 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04100_001640_RAUBAHN Hear, hear. There is no more fitting sentence for the perpetrators of such a massacre. And that is but one of their crimes.
206 202 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04100_001650_RAUBAHN You would spare these animals? Yours is a more merciful brand of justice than mine.
207 203 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04100_001660_RAUBAHN In any event, I thank you for your honesty. When the time comes for the Alliance to pass judgment, I'll see that your opinion is heard.
208 204 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04100_001670_RAUBAHN Well, that concludes our business here, but there is more I would say. Walk with me.
209 205 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04100_001680_RAUBAHN I bear a share of the blame for Ilberd's atrocities. Had I openly supported the cause of Ala Mhigan liberation, he might not have felt driven to do what he did...
210 206 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04100_001690_RAUBAHN Things could have been different, and I'm sorry they aren't.
211 207 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04100_001700_RAUBAHN But even after all that has happened, my homeland is free. With the Scions and the Alliance at their side, my countrymen have reclaimed what many thought lost forever.
212 208 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04100_001710_RAUBAHN Under her new leadership, I have every confidence that Ala Mhigo will emerge from the shadow of the Empire and rise once more to greatness.
213 209 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04100_001720_RAUBAHN Which means my work here is done. Soon, I will return to Ul'dah, and take my place at the sultana's side.
214 210 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04100_001730_PIPIN Father...
215 211 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04100_001740_RAUBAHN I'll not deny there's a part of me that wants to stay...
216 212 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04100_001750_RAUBAHN The same part that contemplated renouncing my rank and joining you as a wandering sellsword.
217 213 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04100_001760_RAUBAHN But I pledged my blade to Nanamo. And I will not betray that oath.
218 214 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04100_001770_PIPIN Is this truly what you want, Father?
219 215 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04100_001780_RAUBAHN It is. Ever has my sword been hers to command, and ever shall it remain.
220 216 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04100_001790_RAUBAHN Thank you for lending an ear. When all the rest are clamoring for me to stay, I trust you'll send me on my way.

224 220 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04100_001820_LYSE You've come from every corner of Gyr Abania to help decide the future of Ala Mhigo. But before that, I want to ask you a question.
225 221 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04100_001830_LYSE What was the first thing you noticed when you came in?
226 222 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04100_001831_LYSE For me, it was that empty throne.
227 223 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04100_001840_LYSE It has no one to sit on it now. No viceroy. No king.
228 224 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04100_001850_LYSE Would any of you like to take their place?
229 225 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04100_001860_LYSE Or should someone else sit there?
230 226 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04100_001870_LYSE Then let's sit here, in a circle. As equals. And, I hope, as friends.
231 227 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04100_001880_ALPHINAUD Expertly done. Lyse has removed monarchy as a choice early in the game, and positioned them to consider a joint government.
232 228 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04100_001890_ALPHINAUD All things considered, I would say events have got off to a fine start...
233 229 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04100_001900_RAGANFRID ...and that is Ala Gannha's stance on the matter.
234 230 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04100_001910_LYSE Thank you, Raganfrid. Another vote in favor. Next, let's hear from Shanti of the Qalyana. Tell us, how do your people feel about the idea of a republic...?

246 242 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04100_002020_LYSE Then they're going to be sorely disappointed. We have the Warrior of Light and Arenvald to shield us.
247 243 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04100_002030_RAUBAHN Aye, but they can't well defend your guests and attack the primal, can they? We're stuck on the back foot.
248 244 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04100_002040_LYSE Uh... All right. I think I have an idea. Keep these people safe, General! I'll be back as soon as I can!

291 287 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04100_002450_RAUBAHN Yes, Your Grace...
292 288 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04100_002460_LYSE Thanks for shielding us from Lakshmi, you two. If you hadn't been there, the rest of us would be worshipping her by now.
293 289 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04100_002470_ARENVALD You're kind to include me, Lyse, but we both know who did most of the work. I could scarce keep track of the battle, let alone land a telling blow.
294 290 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04100_002480_ARENVALD No shame in admitting it. The Warrior of Light has put far better men than me in the shade.
295 291 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04100_002490_ALPHINAUD Ahem. Did I mention that I encountered the sultana in the palace? It would seem Her Grace has come to Gyr Abania to oversee the final stages of her relocation project.
296 292 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04100_002500_ALPHINAUD She was in search of General Aldynn, and I directed her to the rooftop garden. I do hope he was still there...
297 293 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04100_002510_NANAMOULNAMO Are you in the habit of gossiping about the affairs of royalty, Master Leveilleur?
298 294 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04100_002520_ALPHINAUD Certainly not, Your Grace! I was merely informing my companions─
299 295 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04100_002530_NANAMOULNAMO Be at ease, Alphinaud. 'Twas only a jest.
300 296 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04100_002540_NANAMOULNAMO But I must yield the floor to Raubahn. He has an important announcement to make.
301 297 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04100_002550_RAUBAHN [THROAT-CLEARING “ahem”]
302 298 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04100_002551_RAUBAHN As of yesternight, I have been relieved of my post in the Immortal Flames and the Syndicate both...
303 299 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04100_002560_PIPIN ...I shall be assuming my father's duties. And may I say that Tizona has never felt heavier upon my back.
304 300 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04100_002570_RAUBAHN 'Twould seem I am in need of employment. Mayhap one of my old acquaintances can introduce me to a mercenary company or some such...
305 301 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04100_002580_PIPIN You may be getting on in years, Father, but you'd struggle to find a band of sellswords who wouldn't snap your hand off─your...remaining hand.
306 302 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04100_002590_NANAMOULNAMO [STIFLED GIGGLING]
307 303 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04100_002591_NANAMOULNAMO Yes, the Bull of Ala Mhigo need not be put out to pasture just yet...
308 304 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04100_002592_NANAMOULNAMO [UNABLE TO CONTAIN HERSELF, BURSTS INTO LAUGHTER]
309 305 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04100_002600_RAUBAHN Your Grace has developed a wicked edge to her humor. And you, Pipin, would do well not to laugh when the future may hold the same for you!
310 306 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04100_002610_LYSE So...does this mean you're staying?
311 307 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04100_002620_RAUBAHN Aye. That seems to be the way of it. I would be glad to aid you in rebuilding our nation. If you'll have me.
312 308 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04100_002630_LYSE "If,“ he says! Welcome home, Raubahn.
313 309 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04100_002640_ALPHINAUD Well, that was unexpected...though you seem distinctly unsurprised.
314 310 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04100_002650_ALPHINAUD Either you are more astute than I give you credit for...or I am losing my touch.
315 311 TEXT_VOICEMAN_04100_002660_ALPHINAUD In any event, one thing is certain: Ala Mhigo will rejoice at the homecoming of her dearest son.
