1,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_04200_000020_ALISAIE","We were told the matter was urgent. I take it Yugiri and Soroban are also involved?"
2,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_04200_000030_SOROBAN","Ah, my presence here is but a happy coincidence. I am come on separate business─which can wait."
3,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_04200_000040_YUGIRI","My apologies."
4,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_04200_000050_YUGIRI","Master Hancock─pray tell our friends exactly what you told me."
5,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_04200_000060_HANCOCK","Of course, of course."
6,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_04200_000070_HANCOCK","Some few days ago, a large detachment of soldiers was seen arriving at the Garlean embassy. This seemed to me most unusual, as no personages of note are due to visit for a matter of months."
7,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_04200_000080_HANCOCK","So I made a few inquiries, whereupon I learned of a most curious rumor."
8,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_04200_000090_HANCOCK","Apparently, the soldiers were dispatched to Kugane to investigate recent sightings of a certain individual."
9,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_04200_000100_HANCOCK","The late acting imperial viceroy of Doma─Yotsuyu!"
10,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_04200_000110_ALPHINAUD","I beg your pardon!?"
11,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_04200_000120_YUGIRI","I, too, am loath to believe it. I saw the keep come down on top of her."
12,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_04200_000130_YUGIRI","We all did."
13,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_04200_000140_HANCOCK","I would not presume to question your eyewitness accounts, nor am I one to take rumors at face value. The fact is, the Garleans have no knowledge of what took place at Doma Castle─they may well be chasing after a woman who merely resembles Yotsuyu."
14,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_04200_000150_HANCOCK","But a woman who resembles Yotsuyu in the company of a grizzled Roegadyn samurai? I daresay that thickens the plot."
15,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_04200_000160_ALISAIE","...Gosetsu? He's alive!?"
16,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_04200_000170_HANCOCK","While I've no conclusive proof, I thought that such a possibility warranted your attention."
17,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_04200_000180_ALISAIE","Have you informed Lord Hien?"
18,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_04200_000190_ALISAIE","Well, I think we'd all like to believe the old bear survived."
19,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_04200_000200_YUGIRI","Indeed. While I dare not give myself wholly to hope, I will not deny that I have prayed for such a miracle ever since that fateful day."
20,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_04200_000210_YUGIRI","But regardless of my personal feelings, if the Empire has seen fit to pursue these rumors so vigorously, we can scarce afford to ignore them."
21,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_04200_000220_YUGIRI","I am bound by duty to ascertain the truth of the matter. Will you join me in this quest?"
22,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_04200_Q1_000_001_NONE_VOICE","What will you say?"
23,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_04200_A1_000_001_NONE_VOICE","Aye. We'll find Gosetsu together."
24,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_04200_A1_000_002_NONE_VOICE","I...am not sure what I'd do if I saw Yotsuyu again."
25,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_04200_000230_YUGIRI","Thank you. If Gosetsu yet lives, he will need our help if he is to avoid capture."
26,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_04200_000240_YUGIRI","I understand. Only too well. But if Gosetsu yet lives, he will need our help if he is to avoid capture."
27,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_04200_000250_ALPHINAUD","Gosetsu is a dear friend, and we cannot abandon him to the mercy of the Empire. Our course is clear."
28,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_04200_000260_ALPHINAUD","Hancock, is there aught else you can tell us?"
29,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_04200_000270_HANCOCK","Alas not─but I have taken the liberty of employing one of the finest informants money can buy. You shall have the latest intelligence on the Garleans' movements and more besides."
30,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_04200_000280_ALPHINAUD","Right. I suggest we begin by learning what we can from the sentries."
31,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_04200_000290_ALPHINAUD","What's going on out there!?"
32,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_04200_000300_IKARUGA","Travelers, are you? You may wish to postpone your plans. The Garleans have launched an attack on the Confederacy."
33,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_04200_000310_IKARUGA","We have no reason to believe they'll turn their attention here, but for your own safety I suggest you return to Kugane."
34,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_04200_000320_YUGIRI","The Garleans bear no love for the Confederacy, but with Doma lost to them, why would they attack? Unless..."
35,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_04200_000330_ALPHINAUD","Unless Yotsuyu is on that island."
36,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_04200_000340_ALISAIE","Even if she isn't, our allies are under attack, and they need our help."
37,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_04200_000350_ALPHINAUD","<Emphasis>We</Emphasis> will help them, while <Emphasis>you</Emphasis> remain with Soroban. Arguing will only delay us. Is that clear?"
38,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_04200_000360_ALISAIE","Fine. But you haven't heard the last of this."
39,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_04200_000370_ALPHINAUD","Soroban─we may need to make a swift exit. See that the boat is ready to sail at a moment's notice."
40,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_04200_000380_SOROBAN","It shall be done!"
41,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_04200_000390_ALISAIE","What, and you're going to <Emphasis>swim</Emphasis> there, are you?"
42,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_04200_000400_ALPHINAUD","'Tis the quickest way. And you may rest assured I've been practicing!"

55,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_04200_000520_TANSUI","It's over. The imperials are retreating. I suppose we have you to thank for that."
56,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_04200_000530_TANSUI","But they would never have come here were it not for <Emphasis>her</Emphasis>. I had a bad feeling the moment your samurai friend arrived with that woman in tow."

58,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_04200_000550_YOTSUYU","Friends?"
59,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_04200_000560_ALPHINAUD","Forgive me, but at the risk of souring the mood, I believe you owe us an explanation. You may start by telling us what happened at Doma Castle."
60,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_04200_000570_GOSETSU","Of course. I'll not begrudge you that. As you know, we were trapped inside the keep when it collapsed. But even as the roof crumbled above us, so too did the floor below."
61,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_04200_000580_GOSETSU","We were swept out into the One River, where we would surely have drowned had a stout wooden door not chanced to float by, offering us a raft of sorts."
62,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_04200_000590_GOSETSU","Exhausted, we drifted out to sea, at the mercy of the tides...which saw fit to dispense us on a desert island."
63,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_04200_000600_ALPHINAUD","She was with you the entire time?"
64,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_04200_000610_GOSETSU","Aye. 'Twas her kimono which saved her from Hien's blade, believe it or not. Some Garlean witchcraft in the weave."
65,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_04200_000620_GOSETSU","But it offered precious little protection against the fall. Though she survived, she awoke bereft of all her memories, and speaking like a child."
66,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_04200_000630_YUGIRI","A trick, surely?"
67,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_04200_000640_GOSETSU","That was my first thought, aye. And I contemplated cutting her down and being done with it. Contemplated it long and hard..."
68,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_04200_000650_GOSETSU","Yet the kami saw fit to deliver us from certain death. 'Twas their will that we survive. Both of us. Together. And together we shall go before our master. He shall be the one to judge."

71,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_04200_000680_GOSETSU","'Twas a name given out of necessity whilst on the road. Nothing more."
72,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_04200_000690_TANSUI","As you say."
73,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_04200_000700_TANSUI","But remember this: our people suffered much at that woman's hands. When the time comes, I trust you won't let emotion blind you to what needs to be done."

75,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_04200_000720_TANSUI","Well, I must be going─I've an unholy mess to clean up. You should be on your way too, before the imperials decide to take another tilt. Oh...and we'll overlook the tithe this once. You're welcome."

79,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_04200_000760_HIEN","And welcome it you did, even as the keep fell down around us. At that moment, in your smile, I spied a shred of hope. One which I have clung to ever since."

82,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_04200_000790_HIEN","That they are."
83,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_04200_000800_HIEN","Meaning you know how I feel."

87,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_04200_000830_HIEN","The Empire is bold indeed to send a token force to engage the Confederacy."
88,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_04200_000840_YUGIRI","As acting viceroy, Yotsuyu would have been privy to imperial secrets. The Garleans will not soon give up the chase."
89,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_04200_000850_HIEN","Nay. It will end with her capture...or her death."
90,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_04200_000860_YOTSUYU","Are you a friend too?"
91,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_04200_000870_GOSETSU","She claims to have lost her memory, though I know not if she speaks true. I brought her here that you might decide her fate."
92,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_04200_000880_HIEN","Lost her memory, you say..."
93,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_04200_000890_HIEN","Regardless, the people have not forgotten. Her face yet haunts their dreams. She cannot roam free. We will hold her here for a time."
94,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_04200_000900_HIEN","Place her in Jifuya's care, with the express instruction that she is not to be seen."
95,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_04200_000910_YUGIRI","Yes, my lord."

109,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_04200_001040_JIFUYA","Her father was a regular client of mine. One day, quite without preamble, he offered to sell her to me. “She may be no maiden,” he said, “but she has some use left in her.”"
110,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_04200_001050_JIFUYA","He sold her short. When I first beheld her, I was struck by her beauty. And yet, behind her eyes, there was...an emptiness. 'Twas as if she had given up on life. She seemed more a doll than a woman."
111,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_04200_001060_JIFUYA","It was no profession for her, but I knew she would be popular. And so it proved. Men flocked to drown themselves in that cold, bottomless gaze."

114,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_04200_001090_JIFUYA","'Tis said that the atrocities Yotsuyu committed were driven by vengeance. If so, I bear part of the blame for creating the monster she became."

116,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_04200_001110_JIFUYA","But the truth is... The truth is, I am a coward whose only thought was to escape her wrath. Then as now."

118,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_04200_001130_GOSETSU","I trust you have no objections, Yugiri?"
119,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_04200_001140_YUGIRI","None. It would not do to leave Yotsuyu in his care."
120,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_04200_001150_JIFUYA","I am in your debt."
121,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_04200_001160_YUGIRI","Who is it that you seek to protect, Gosetsu?"

124,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_04200_001190_YUGIRI","In former times, such signals were used to announce the coming of an emissary of peace─in Doma, at least. But could that truly be their intent?"

126,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_04200_001210_HIEN","Whatever they want, we cannot simply blast them out of the sky─not when they were so gracious as to honor one of our <Emphasis>cherished</Emphasis> traditions. I would not have it said that we Domans want for propriety."

149,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_04200_001420_ASAHI","While you may not agree with our founding father's policy of expansion, I believe there is room for discussion on the matter of his lifelong goal─to rid the world of eikons."
150,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_04200_001430_ASAHI","Eikons are a blight upon this star. They cannot be suffered to exist. This you know as well as we. In his wisdom, Emperor Varis wishes to explore the possibility of an alliance to combat this common threat."
151,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_04200_001440_ASAHI","On the condition that Doma renounces summoning and pledges to police the Kojin's practice of it, His Radiance would extend the hand of friendship."

156,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_04200_001490_ASAHI","In seeking to eliminate eikons, the Empire creates them. 'Tis an irony among ironies. One with which the people of Eorzea are well acquainted, I am told."
157,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_04200_001500_ALPHINAUD","Indeed, many summonings are the result of persecution, the weak being driven to call upon the divine for deliverance from the strong. So it was in Ala Mhigo─the bitter fruit of Garlean oppression."
158,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_04200_001510_ASAHI","A tragic state of affairs. If we are to put an end to summoning once and for all, it shall not be through might, but harmony. Yet we continue to repeat our mistakes, oblivious to the lessons of history."
