1,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_02400_000020_ILBERD","...Commander Leveilleur bade you serve us?"
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."
3,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_02400_000040_ILBERD","That which I am about to tell you, I tell you in the strictest confidence."
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."
5,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_02400_000060_ILBERD","Following some discreet inquiries, we identified a suspect among the Immortal Flames whom we detained for questioning."
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."
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."
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."
9,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_02400_000100_ILBERD","These conspirators are the vines by which he learns our secrets, all without exposing himself."
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."
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."
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."
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."
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."
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."
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."
17,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_02400_100010_RAUBAHN","Well, well. What brings you here, my friend?"
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."
19,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_02400_100020_RAUBAHN","Ilberd, you old scoundrel! When they told me you'd be visiting, I scarce believed my ears!"
20,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_02400_100030_RAUBAHN","But look at you! The honored captain of the Crystal bloody Braves! Who'd have imagined, eh?"
21,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_02400_100040_ILBERD","Not many. But fewer still would have imagined your destiny lay in politics, old friend."
22,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_02400_100050_RAUBAHN","Aye...we've both come far, have we not?"
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."
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!"
25,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_02400_100080_ILBERD","Ah, well, my dealings tended toward the modest and mundane...unlike some I could mention."
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."
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!"
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."
29,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_02400_100120_RAUBAHN","But you, Ilberd─you sell yourself short. By all accounts, you were an adventurer of some standing."
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..."
31,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_02400_100140_ILBERD","I have tidings."
32,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_02400_100150_RAUBAHN","So there has been progress."
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."
34,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_02400_100170_RAUBAHN","To convene elsewhere would only attract attention. Let us speak here, in plain view of all."
35,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_02400_100180_RAUBAHN","...So it is we who have been compromised."
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..."
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?"
38,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_02400_100210_RAUBAHN","Very well. I will have my most trusted men investigate the matter. Continue your inquiries in the meantime."
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."
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."
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."
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."
43,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_02400_300010_HAURCHEFANT","Have faith, my friend. You need only state your case with confidence and clarity."
44,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_02400_300020_AYMERIC","(-???-)Commander Leveilleur. It is both an honor and a pleasure to meet you."
45,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_02400_300030_AYMERIC","I am Aymeric, lord commander of the Temple Knights."
46,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_02400_300040_ALPHINAUD","Alphinaud Leveilleur, at your service."
47,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_02400_300050_ALPHINAUD","Your reputation precedes you, Ser Aymeric. I think we will find that we have much in common."
48,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_02400_300060_AYMERIC","Speaking of reputations, yours towers over us all. Does it not?"
49,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_02400_300080_LUCIA","(-Taciturn Temple Knight-)It does indeed, Lord Commander."
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."
51,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_02400_300100_AYMERIC","Full glad was I to learn that you would be joining us."
52,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_02400_300110_AYMERIC","Now then, shall we begin?"
53,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_02400_300120_ALPHINAUD","We know full well that the Garleans will return in force ere long."
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."
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."
56,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_02400_300150_AYMERIC","Once again, I must respectfully disagree."
57,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_02400_300160_ALPHINAUD","On what grounds?"
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."
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."
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."
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."
62,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_02400_300220_ALPHINAUD","Then surely it would be in our best interests to present a united front?"
63,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_02400_300230_AYMERIC","Mayhap one day, but not yet."
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."
65,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_02400_300250_ALPHINAUD","Forgive me, but if Ishgard's position has not changed, why did you agree to this meeting?"
66,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_02400_300260_AYMERIC","It was not only as a representative of Ishgard that I came here."
67,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_02400_300270_ALPHINAUD","Pardon?"
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."
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."
70,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_02400_300300_AYMERIC","I can ensure that the shipments continue unabated."
71,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_02400_300310_HAURCHEFANT","Ser Aymeric, we would be in your debt!"
72,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_02400_300320_AYMERIC","No, you would not, for I require something in exchange."
73,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_02400_300330_AYMERIC","Of late there has been a flurry of Dravanian activity, the purpose of which was not immediately clear."
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."
75,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_02400_300350_ALPHINAUD","The fallen guardian of Silvertear Falls? That's absurd."
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."
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."
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."
79,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_02400_300390_AYMERIC","Do you accept these terms?"
80,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_02400_300400_ALPHINAUD","I do. I will see that you are kept abreast of any developments."
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."
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."
83,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_02400_300440_AYMERIC","Mayhap we shall, Commander."
84,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_02400_300450_HAURCHEFANT","What is the meaning of this!?"
85,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_02400_300460_CAVALRY02400","The caravan, my lord! It's been attacked!"
86,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_02400_300470_CAVALRY02400","It was <Emphasis>Iceheart</Emphasis>, my lord!"
87,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_02400_300480_HAURCHEFANT","What!? By the Fury! All our precautions were for naught!?"
88,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_02400_600010_ICEHEART","(-???-)The tales do not do you justice, Warrior of Light."
89,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_02400_600020_ICEHEART","(-???-)Yes, I know who you are. And you know who I am."
90,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_02400_600030_ICEHEART","(-Iceheart-)I was given the name Ysayle, but I earned the name Iceheart."
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?"
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."
93,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_02400_600080_ICEHEART","(-Iceheart-)In time, you will come to understand that what we do, we do for the greater good."
94,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_02400_600090_ICEHEART","(-Iceheart-)For Eorzea. For Hydaelyn."
95,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_02400_900010_KANESENNA","Change has come to the Garlean Empire, and we must discuss the implications."
96,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_02400_900011_MERLWYB","The rumors are true then? The war of succession is ended?"
97,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_02400_900020_KANESENNA","It is. A new emperor reigns in Garlemald."
98,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_02400_900030_ALPHINAUD","Who!?"
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."
100,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_02400_900050_KANESENNA","Nevertheless, it was the eldest son who stood to inherit the throne─until his most untimely passing."
101,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_02400_900060_RAUBAHN","I thought us fortunate when I learned that the emperor had died without naming a successor."
102,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_02400_900070_ALPHINAUD","Would that the Garlean Empire had died with him."
103,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_02400_900080_RAUBAHN","'Twas the grandson and his uncle who had the strongest claims, was it not?"
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."
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."
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."
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."
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."
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."
110,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_02400_900160_KANESENNA","Plainly, the new emperor's intentions are of great concern to us all."
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."
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."
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."
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."
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."
116,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_02400_900210_ALPHINAUD","So long as the Ivy eludes our grasp, no secret is safe."
117,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_02400_B00010_MOENBRYDA","(-???-)Minfilia, am I right?"
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."
119,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_02400_B00030_MOENBRYDA","(-???-)Hah! As if I could ever say no to Urianger!"
120,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_02400_B00040_MINFILIA","Moenbryda is an accomplished Sharlayan scholar and an authority on aetheryte technologies."
121,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_02400_B00050_MINFILIA","She has played an invaluable role in our search for a means to capture Ascian souls."
122,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_02400_B00060_MOENBRYDA","Charmed, I'm sure."
123,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_02400_C00010_MINFILIA","Everyone, if I could have your attention!"
124,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_02400_C00011_MINFILIA","We have with us an esteemed guest who is come from Sharlayan to assist us."
125,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_02400_C00020_YDA","Moen! Gods, it's been <Emphasis>ages</Emphasis>!"
126,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_02400_C00030_MOENBRYDA","Oh, longer, sister!"
127,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_02400_C00040_YSHTOLA","A joyous reunion indeed."
128,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_02400_C00050_YDA","Well, of course it is! Moen and I are like twin sisters!"
129,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_02400_C00060_PAPALYMO","...Save in appearance and aptitude."
130,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_02400_C00070_MINFILIA","Everyone, please!"
131,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_02400_C00080_MINFILIA","I bid Moenbryda join us here that she might share with us her extensive knowledge of aetherytes."
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."
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!?"
134,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_02400_C00120_URIANGER","'Tis plain the passage of the years hath done little to dampen thy youthful spirits..."
135,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_02400_C00130_URIANGER","...And nothing at all to reform thy youthful manner."
136,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_02400_C00140_MOENBRYDA","Urianger! Where in the hells've you been hiding?"
137,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_02400_C00150_URIANGER","Un...unhand me."
138,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_02400_C00160_MOENBRYDA","I come all this way, and <Emphasis>that's</Emphasis> what you have to say to me!?"
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─”"
140,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_02400_C00180_THANCRED","Go on..."
141,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_02400_C00190_URIANGER","Th-Thine artless attempts to misrepresent mine all-too-innocent motives do thee little credit!"
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."
143,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_02400_C00210_MOENBRYDA","You still haven't found it, then? Your missing aetheryte?"
144,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_02400_C00220_MINFILIA","We have not, no."
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."
146,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_02400_C00240_MINFILIA","We now suspect that the heretics destroyed the second aetheryte to impede our pursuit."
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."
148,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_02400_C00260_MOENBRYDA","I'm sorry but...if the aetheryte's been destroyed, then that's that."

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.
129 125 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02400_C00020_YDA Moen! Gods, it's been <Emphasis>ages</Emphasis>!
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!
133 129 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02400_C00060_PAPALYMO ...Save in appearance and aptitude.
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.

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?

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.

4 0 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02401_300010_ALISAIE Gods, he is almost whole again!
5 1 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02401_300020_ALPHINAUD His size is staggering... I can scarce imagine how Grandfather stood against such a monstrosity.
6 2 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02401_300030_ALISAIE This cannot be allowed to proceed any further. Let us disable the coil and move on.
7 3 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02401_300040_ALISAIE Grandfather!
8 4 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02401_300060_ALISAIE No, that man is dead. I will not dishonor my beloved grandsire's memory by calling you such.
9 5 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02401_300070_ALISAIE You are but his twisted shade─the thrall of a mad primal.
10 6 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02401_300080_LOUISOIX You were foolish to disregard my warning, child. Are you so convinced of your own righteousness?
11 7 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02401_300090_ALPHINAUD 'Tis the rightness of our path that led us to return. Eorzea will never be safe whilst Bahamut remains to threaten all we hold dear.
12 8 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02401_300100_ALPHINAUD What of the hero who gave his life in defense of the realm? Do you truly dispute the justice of our cause?
13 9 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02401_300110_LOUISOIX My poor, ignorant grandchildren─your world is shaped by naught but recent conflict. Listen, and I will speak to you of “justice.”
14 10 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02401_300120_LOUISOIX 'Twas in the twilight of the Third Astral Era... The southern land of Meracydia suffered invasion at the hands of the Allagan Empire. With no atrocity too depraved for their purpose, the forces of Allag were unstoppable in their advance.
15 11 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02401_300130_LOUISOIX Desperate for salvation, the dragons prayed to one of the first brood─to their ancestor Bahamut. Infused by the power of their fervent supplications, Bahamut arose from the abyss of death and took wing as the Meracydians' newborn god.
16 12 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02401_300140_LOUISOIX Yet this great miracle would only serve to further the maniacal designs of the dragons' imperial conquerors. The cruel fetters which bind my lord stand testament to the Allagans' boundless greed and hubris.
17 13 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02401_300150_LOUISOIX I once summoned the Twelve in an attempt to forestall the advent of the Seventh Umbral Era.
18 14 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02401_300160_LOUISOIX What then did the dragons of Meracydia do that I did not? Wherefore are they accursed and I exalted?
19 15 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02401_300170_LOUISOIX 'Tis man's overweening belief in his own primacy that blinds him to the commonness of his condition...and the truth of his own tyranny.
20 16 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02401_300180_LOUISOIX As long as man is suffered to remain, the dragons shall never be at peace.
21 17 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02401_300190_LOUISOIX Only when the plague of people has been expunged shall the children of Lord Bahamut be free. Then shall the world know true justice.
22 18 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02401_300200_ALISAIE Stop it! Grandfather would never say such things! His belief that people were worth saving never faltered!
23 19 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02401_300210_ALISAIE He had faith in their strength...that they could stand together and push back against the darkness seeking to shape them.
24 20 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02401_300220_LOUISOIX A false hope. 'Tis folly to place one's faith in so flawed a race.
25 21 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02401_300230_LOUISOIX "Stand together“? Hmph. They would first need to agree on which direction to face. If history teaches us anything, it is that man cannot find common ground between his own two feet.
26 22 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02401_300240_LOUISOIX Even you, twins whose veins run with the same blood, struggle to fathom each other's reasoning. You hide your differing agendas behind the convenient banner of Eorzea's salvation. Given your obvious self-interest, can you truly claim no kinship with the Allagans?
27 23 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02401_300250_LOUISOIX And though I hoped they might bring you closer, 'twould seem that the twin grimoires I bestowed upon you were a wasted gesture...
28 24 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02401_300260_ALPHINAUD There may well be truth in your judgment of Alisaie and me... But such a one-sided tirade bemoaning the evils of man rings false coming from the lips of Archon Louisoix.
29 25 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02401_300270_ALPHINAUD Tell me─do you champion the cause of dragons because Bahamut compels you as his thrall?
30 26 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02401_300280_ALPHINAUD Or is it because you yourself have transcended the limits of man's existence?
31 27 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02401_300290_LOUISOIX Ah, so the possibility did not escape your notice? What I prayed for, and what I have become...these are the <Emphasis>keys</Emphasis> that unlock the truth behind Eorzea's rebirth.
32 28 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02401_300300_LOUISOIX If you would have them, then you must needs take them by force. Come, rend this divine form asunder and claim your answers!
33 29 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02401_300310_ALISAIE But...I thought... He has become a primal!?
34 30 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02401_300320_ALPHINAUD 'Tis difficult I know, but you must accept it: that entity is no phantom or impostor─it is our beloved grandsire!
35 31 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02401_300330_ALISAIE Please─for his sake and for ours─you must defeat our grandfather!
36 32 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02401_400010_ALISAIE Grandfather is truly gone this time. But better it end this way than the alternative...
37 33 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02401_400020_LOUISOIX I am yet here, Alisaie. My dear, sweet granddaughter...
38 34 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02401_400030_ALISAIE Grandfather...?
39 35 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02401_400040_LOUISOIX I must thank you, Warrior of Light. Without your valor, I might never have broken free of Bahamut's control.
40 36 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02401_400050_LOUISOIX These last few moments are mine to live as the man I once was.
41 37 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02401_400060_ALISAIE This is all that I wanted. Yet now that it is happening, I find myself struggling to believe it... Is it really you?
42 38 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02401_400070_ALPHINAUD Grandfather, pray forgive me my insolence. It was not my intent to demean you.
43 39 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02401_400080_LOUISOIX Forgive you? I am proud of you, child. You were wise enough to deduce the manner of creature I had become.
44 40 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02401_400090_LOUISOIX Alphinaud. Alisaie. If any here should beg forgiveness, it is I.
45 41 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02401_400100_ALISAIE Grandfather, I must ask... Will you not tell us what befell during the Calamity?
46 42 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02401_400110_LOUISOIX Yes. Yes, of course. You have come far to hear the truth...
47 43 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02401_400120_LOUISOIX Let us then begin the tale at the Battle of Carteneau, where clashed the forces of the Garlean Empire and the Eorzean Alliance.
48 44 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02401_400130_LOUISOIX 'Twas there in the sky above the surging armies that the elder primal Bahamut broke free of the red moon, Dalamud.
49 45 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02401_400140_LOUISOIX In an effort to contain this avatar of destruction, I called upon the Twelve to aid me in the creation of a prison of aether...
50 46 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02401_400150_LOUISOIX But Bahamut would not be caged by such feeble bars─too vast was his might; too fierce his rage.
51 47 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02401_400160_LOUISOIX
52 48 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02401_400170_LOUISOIX You know of what happened next. I used the last of my strength to send you and your companions outside of time, and then prepared to meet my end.
53 49 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02401_400180_LOUISOIX Little choice remained to me. I used the last of my strength to entrust our hope unto the future, and prepared to meet my end.
54 50 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02401_500010_LOUISOIX As you have no doubt surmised, I did not perish. When the cage built from the essences of the Twelve was destroyed, the sky was filled with a colossal cloud of aether...
55 51 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02401_500020_LOUISOIX This drifting energy responded to the prayers of those fighting below─and to my own desperate wish that the dying realm be saved─by infusing me with the power of a primal.
56 52 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02401_500030_LOUISOIX I became the immortal Phoenix, ancient symbol of rebirth.
57 53 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02401_500040_LOUISOIX Rising into the sky, I struck Bahamut with all my newfound strength. The blow shattered his earthly form, and a shower of aether rained down upon the land.
58 54 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02401_500050_LOUISOIX Thus began the rejuvenation of Eorzea.
59 55 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02401_500060_LOUISOIX Believing the deed done, I relinquished my hold on that staggering energy, desirous that it should be returned to the realm without delay.
60 56 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02401_500070_LOUISOIX But I had not reckoned on Bahamut's tenacious will. Even as he teetered upon the cusp of oblivion, the dragon reached out to claim me.
61 57 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02401_500080_LOUISOIX Alas, within my fast fading form, enough remained of the Phoenix's energy to offer Bahamut a hold, and he dragged me along in his wake.
62 58 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02401_500090_ALPHINAUD And thus began your existence as the elder primal's thrall...
63 59 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02401_500100_ALISAIE I cannot help but wonder at his will to survive... Though he was all but obliterated, Bahamut found a way to seize the power you surrendered.
64 60 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02401_500110_ALISAIE That would explain why part of his physical form survived to be entombed underground.
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!
95 91 TEXT_VOICEMAN_02401_600060_ALPHINAUD Ugh... Alisaie! ALISAIE!
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!
