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."
120,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_02200_600010_YSHTOLA","Damn them... They have made thralls of soldiers and civilians both..."
121,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_02200_600030_THANCRED","Did I miss much?"
122,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_02200_600040_YUGIRI","Hah."
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."
126,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_02200_600080_THANCRED","Yah."
127,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_02200_600090_THANCRED","Hah."

133,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_02200_700040_WUUR","But no more! Your time is at an end!"

Lord of the Whorl, deliver us from our misery!"

156,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_02200_800010_MERLWYB","There used to be a hamlet beyond South Tidegate in western La Noscea. Halfstone, 'twas called."

47 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.
48 44 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02200_200120_ALPHINAUD The head of the Mirage Trust is not known for his generosity. He sees profit in this.
49 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?

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?

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.

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.

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...?

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.”

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.

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.

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.

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.

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?
251 247 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02200_A00190_URIANGER Grave tidings from the Sharlayan motherland, my lady.
252 248 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02200_A00200_URIANGER It doth concern our distant allies, the Students of Baldesion.
253 249 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02200_A00210_MINFILIA What of them?
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.
257 253 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02200_A00250_URIANGER 'Tis postulated that a magick was evoked, like in power to Ultima.
258 254 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02200_A00260_MINFILIA Twelve preserve...
259 255 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02200_B00010_LOLORITO If there are no other matters, I move that today's meeting be adjourned.
260 256 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02200_B00020_FOLLOWEROFTELEDJI It is done, my lord.
261 257 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02200_B00030_FOLLOWEROFTELEDJI I... <cough> F-Forgive my impertinence, my lord, but these orders... I am uncertain as to what end they serve.
262 258 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02200_B00040_TELEDJIADELEDJI Revolution.
263 259 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02200_C00010_GILGAMESH Um. Well, then!
264 260 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02200_C00020_GILGAMESH That's enough of a beating for now!
