2,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_06002_000030_YSHTOLA","There is much we could learn of Zodiark and His imprisonment, but perhaps you could offer us more focused guidance. Pray tell us of the calamity that came before and comes now again."

5,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_06002_000060_WATCHEROFMOON","<UIForeground>F20223</UIForeground>We were not exempt. Our creation magicks ran rampant, giving shape and form to thoughts of hopelessness and despair.<UIForeground>01</UIForeground>"
6,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_06002_000070_WATCHEROFMOON","<UIForeground>F20223</UIForeground>At first, the phenomenon was limited to a single region. But quickly...so very quickly...it spread and engulfed the whole of the star.<UIForeground>01</UIForeground>"
7,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_06002_000080_YSHTOLA","Were the ancients ever able to deduce its source?"

20,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_06002_000210_URIANGER","No less a power than a god's could set right the laws of nature and quicken the flow of aether within the star."
21,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_06002_000220_WATCHEROFMOON","<UIForeground>F20223</UIForeground>Precisely. With the advent of Zodiark, our end was averted.<UIForeground>01</UIForeground>"
22,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_06002_000230_THANCRED","Emet-Selch claimed that those who summoned Hydaelyn did so because they saw Zodiark's power as a threat. Is that true?"
23,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_06002_000240_WATCHEROFMOON","<UIForeground>F20223</UIForeground>Indeed, there was a faction opposed to Zodiark's creation. But their aim was never to unmake Him.<UIForeground>01</UIForeground>"

25,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_06002_000260_WATCHEROFMOON","<UIForeground>F20223</UIForeground>Hydaelyn recognized this as well. And so, rather than destroy, She sundered Zodiark, Herself, and the star into lesser reflections, that She might confine Him in this place.<UIForeground>01</UIForeground>"

28,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_06002_A1_000_002_NONE_VOICE","Then what She told me in the aetherial sea was false...?"
29,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_06002_000270_WATCHEROFMOON","<UIForeground>F20223</UIForeground>Perhaps She did. But as with all beings, intent is not always in accord with spoken word.<UIForeground>01</UIForeground>"
30,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_06002_000280_WATCHEROFMOON","<UIForeground>F20223</UIForeground>That the two once dwelled as one until Zodiark grew hungry for power, upsetting the balance 'twixt Them...? Not quite a lie, though a rather gross embellishment.<UIForeground>01</UIForeground>"
31,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_06002_000290_WATCHEROFMOON","<UIForeground>F20223</UIForeground>But knowing what you know now, you must surely realize why She might opt to obfuscate and mislead.<UIForeground>01</UIForeground>"
32,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_06002_000300_WATCHEROFMOON","<UIForeground>F20223</UIForeground>Hydaelyn and Zodiark are both constructs of man. Approximations of perfection limited by our own imperfections.<UIForeground>01</UIForeground>"
33,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_06002_000310_WATCHEROFMOON","<UIForeground>F20223</UIForeground>Zodiark was, without question, the more powerful of the two, having been born from the sacrifice of half Etheirys's population.<UIForeground>01</UIForeground>"
34,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_06002_000320_WATCHEROFMOON","<UIForeground>F20223</UIForeground>Thus was it necessary for Hydaelyn to commit Herself wholly to His defeat. Still more effort was needed to confine Him.<UIForeground>01</UIForeground>"
35,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_06002_000330_WATCHEROFMOON","<UIForeground>F20223</UIForeground>Maintaining the brands taxed Her greatly. With what power She dared spare, She cried out to any who might listen, and offered Her blessing to those who heeded Her call.<UIForeground>01</UIForeground>"
36,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_06002_000340_WATCHEROFMOON","<UIForeground>F20223</UIForeground>Though it was likely within Her power to do so, I believe She did not wish to speak of Etheirys and Her history.<UIForeground>01</UIForeground>"
37,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_06002_000350_WATCHEROFMOON","<UIForeground>F20223</UIForeground>Like Zodiark, Hydaelyn's purpose is a reflection of Her creators'. They wished to look to the future, and not linger in a prison of the past.<UIForeground>01</UIForeground>"
38,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_06002_000360_YSHTOLA","The Ascians set in motion seven Rejoinings before we came to oppose them. How many more worlds would have been lost had we not placed our faith in Her?"
39,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_06002_000370_YSHTOLA","How many more souls living in the present would have been snuffed out for the sake of those long dead?"
40,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_06002_000380_THANCRED","Well, in light of recent events, I see no reason to doubt your words."
41,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_06002_000390_THANCRED","And even if Hydaelyn is not a god in truth, if Minfilia believed that we should trust in Her plans, then I choose to do just that."
42,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_06002_000400_THANCRED","Which brings me to a rather important question."
43,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_06002_000410_THANCRED","Let's suppose we try but fail to stop this second coming of the Final Days."
44,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_06002_000420_THANCRED","Should the Source fall, what will become of the other worlds?"

51,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_06002_000490_WATCHEROFMOON","<UIForeground>F20223</UIForeground>Hydaelyn knew better than any that Her power was not absolute. Indeed, She has ever struggled to hold Zodiark and His faithful at bay.<UIForeground>01</UIForeground>"

58,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_06002_000560_LIVINGWAY","(-???-)I know, I know─this one thousand two hundred and forty-third inspection is a mite ahead of schedule, but it is of the utmost importance! For Zodiark, alas, is no more."
59,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_06002_000570_LIVINGWAY","(-???-)As of now, our mighty moon has a new purpose! To bear the people of Etheirys to safety!"

63,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_06002_000610_LIVINGWAY","(-???-)Questions? Yes? No? Maybe so? No? Then hop to it!"
64,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_06002_000620_URIANGER","'Tis a rather curious crew She hath chosen. Their endearing forms intended to ease the passengers' hearts, perhaps."
65,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_06002_000630_THANCRED","Perhaps..."
66,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_06002_000640_LIVINGWAY","(-Snappy Loporrit-)Right, of course! Introductions are in order. Ahem!"
67,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_06002_000650_LIVINGWAY","My name is Livingway, and we are the Loporrits. Created for the express purpose of commanding this ship and bearing the people of Etheirys to a brave new world!"
68,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_06002_000660_LIVINGWAY","More specifically, <Emphasis>I</Emphasis> am the one whom She charged with the execution of Her most vital plans. You might say I'm Her right paw!"
69,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_06002_000670_MAPPINGWAY","Mappingway's the name. Map reader and navigator of the heavens."
70,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_06002_000680_THANCRED","Pleasure to meet you all, but...I'm still trying to make sense of...this."
71,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_06002_000690_LIVINGWAY","Confusion and bewilderment are completely understandable. Fear not! I shall walk you through it."
72,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_06002_000700_LIVINGWAY","The people of Etheirys─through no fault of your own, I'm sure─set in motion a series of events that, unfortunately, culminated in Zodiark's obliteration."
73,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_06002_000710_LIVINGWAY","Acutely aware of the imminent crisis, your parents sent you little ones on ahead while they began the necessary preparations."
74,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_06002_000720_LIVINGWAY","Still not following? No? Very well! I shall elaborate further!"
75,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_06002_000730_LIVINGWAY","Here we have Etheirys─your home─and the moon, where we are now."
76,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_06002_000740_LIVINGWAY","Without Zodiark around to keep things lively, so to speak, the celestial currents of the star have doubtless begun to degrade."
77,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_06002_000750_LIVINGWAY","A calamity of apocalyptic proportions will be visited upon Etheirys, bringing an end to all life. Very sad, that."
78,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_06002_000760_URIANGER","So too hath the watcher claimed. By thine unperturbed countenance, I gather this eventuality was anticipated?"
79,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_06002_000770_LIVINGWAY","The doom and gloom? Oh yes, quite expected."
80,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_06002_000780_LIVINGWAY","Imagine, if you will, that Etheirys is a delicious carrot that I've forgotten to eat and left out in the midday sun."
81,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_06002_000790_LIVINGWAY","The most earnest wishes or prayers will not stop it from rotting to the core."
82,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_06002_000800_LIVINGWAY","So, sadly, there's nothing to be done but to abandon said carrot─Etheirys, in case the metaphor is lost on you─to its grisly fate."
83,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_06002_000810_YSHTOLA","...And this moon will serve as the vessel to deliver us to a new home."
84,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_06002_000820_LIVINGWAY","Just so! We will gather up as many people, supplies, and resources as our stores will hold."
85,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_06002_000830_LIVINGWAY","And then, once everyone is aboard, it's off to another star!"
86,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_06002_000840_LIVINGWAY","Easier said than done, admittedly, for one does not simply hop from star to star on a whim. Which is precisely why we've spent countless years constructing the most propulsive of propulsion systems!"
87,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_06002_000850_LIVINGWAY","We ought to make it to our destination in two shakes of a rabbit's tail."
88,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_06002_000860_YSHTOLA","Impressive technology. I daresay it is beyond anything we have ever seen."
89,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_06002_000870_LIVINGWAY","No need to shower us with praise. All we've done is faithfully carry out the instructions left to us by Hydaelyn."
90,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_06002_000880_LIVINGWAY","Back in the old days, when She was still just Venat, She was dedicated to the study of the world and its inner workings."
91,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_06002_000890_LIVINGWAY","And the watcher─the real one, not the simulacrum you met─was one of Her fellow researchers."
92,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_06002_000900_LIVINGWAY","We and this wondrous vessel masquerading as a moon are products of their knowledge and know-how."
93,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_06002_000910_THANCRED","There's certainly more to you all than meets the eye. Might I ask where exactly you intend to take us?"
94,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_06002_000920_MAPPINGWAY","We identified a few promising candidates for resettlement some time ago, but we cannot guarantee that they are fit for habitation."
95,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_06002_000930_MAPPINGWAY","Moreover, the ship can only travel in short bursts. We intend to go down our list, hopping from star to star, until we find one suitable for resettlement."
96,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_06002_000940_LIVINGWAY","No need to worry, though. The vessel is being refurbished with accommodation for an extended stay as we speak."
97,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_06002_000950_LIVINGWAY","While we did have to rely upon outside help to determine what amenities were essential, I daresay we have risen to the challenge."
98,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_06002_000960_THANCRED","Help? From who?"
99,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_06002_000970_LIVINGWAY","From you and yours, who else? Each time we woke to perform regularly scheduled maintenance, we were greeted by the resources you sent us. What better way to learn about the preferences and proclivities of our present-day charges?"
100,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_06002_000980_LIVINGWAY","Ah, but you're still adorable little children. Perhaps your elders were responsible for the deliveries?"
101,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_06002_000990_THANCRED","I'm not sure what led you to conclude otherwise, but I can assure you that we are all grown men and women."
102,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_06002_001000_THANCRED","And I very much doubt my “elders” know this place exists, much less how to send you so much as a Starlight missive."
103,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_06002_001010_LIVINGWAY","What? Then who in blazes let you on <Emphasis>my</Emphasis> moon!?"
104,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_06002_001020_LIVINGWAY","Hydaelyn <Emphasis>Herself</Emphasis> led you here?"
105,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_06002_001030_LIVINGWAY","You don't say! Well, that's... Really? Not children? Then why are you so small and stunted? Like little baby carrot people?"
106,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_06002_001040_YSHTOLA","While Amaurotines were a great deal taller, in the present day, persons of such prodigious size are exceedingly rare."
107,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_06002_001050_LIVINGWAY","So...you're saying everyone's not like the watcher?"
108,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_06002_001060_LIVINGWAY","Confound it all! Someone could've at least scribbled a note about your profound miniaturization..."
109,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_06002_001070_URIANGER","That tome in thy possession..."
110,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_06002_001080_LIVINGWAY","Oh, this? One of the first books sent to us. A compendium of the people of Etheirys─with a few blank pages at the back for minor corrections and updates as needed."
111,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_06002_001090_LIVINGWAY","The sum total of our knowledge of your kind is contained in these pages."
112,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_06002_001100_LIVINGWAY","I thought it was abridged and made small for our benefit, but...this isn't a regular-sized book, is it?"
113,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_06002_001110_LIVINGWAY","Ahhh!"
114,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_06002_001120_LIVINGWAY","Buildingway, can you hear me? Yes, we're all very busy."
115,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_06002_001130_LIVINGWAY","Change of plans. I need you to rebuild the domiciles at one-third the scale."
116,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_06002_001140_LIVINGWAY","All of them. Yes, <Emphasis>all</Emphasis> of them! And but me no buts! See to it with all speed!"
117,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_06002_001150_THANCRED","Perhaps you could tell us a bit more about your terrestrial collaborators."
118,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_06002_001160_LIVINGWAY","Yes, yes, in due time─but first I'd like to hear more about <Emphasis>you</Emphasis>, if it's all the same. I'd rather not risk any other complications due to outdated knowledge of our passengers-to-be."
119,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_06002_001170_GROWINGWAY","Readying the teleporter."
120,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_06002_001180_GROWINGWAY","Huh? Access to living quarters restricted due to reconstruction? Then where is it... Oh no!"
121,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_06002_001190_URIANGER","A private audience, as thou didst request. For reasons I know not..."
122,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_06002_001200_LIVINGWAY","Just a precaution. I'd rather I didn't have to ask the question at all, but I take my responsibilities very, very seriously."
123,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_06002_001210_LIVINGWAY","Do you and your friends, by any chance, find our accommodation wanting? Be honest. Brutally, even."
124,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_06002_001220_URIANGER","'Twould be ungracious of me to belittle the efforts of thee and thine."
125,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_06002_001230_LIVINGWAY","Lovely sentiment, really, but the disappointment is writ plain on your comrades' faces. It's all the more frustrating since no one will come out and say what they find wanting!"
