7,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_06003_000080_ALPHINAUD","We have. What can you tell us of the situation, Your Excellency?"
8,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_06003_000090_AWAHEEN","Last night, the isle was rocked by tremors, and the earth itself cried out."
9,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_06003_000100_AWAHEEN","Aloft, the heavens began to burn. From all about, unholy beasts─the likes of which we had never seen─came forth in fury and rage."
10,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_06003_000110_AWAHEEN","...No. To say they “came forth” would be...inexact."
11,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_06003_000120_AWAHEEN","The people of Radz-at-Han themselves transformed into these baleful fiends."
12,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_06003_000130_AWAHEEN","Though the phenomenon was observed throughout our lands, the first creature─the largest and most dreadful of the lot─wrought havoc upon us here, in our fair city."
13,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_06003_000140_AWAHEEN","Though they bear superficial resemblance to divinities of legend, they are ungodly abominations. The people decry them as “blasphemies.”"
14,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_06003_000150_AWAHEEN","The large one's rampage has since taken it to the northern reaches of the island. I mean to dispatch our Radiant Host in an attempt to quell the threat."
15,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_06003_000160_ESTINIEN","And what of Vrtra?"
16,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_06003_000170_AWAHEEN","Vrtra, too, makes for the north of his own accord. And yet..."
17,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_06003_000180_AWAHEEN","He knows the blasphemy and its minions were but yesterday his beloved people."
18,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_06003_000190_AWAHEEN","I pray his boundless compassion and mercy does not deter him from taking unenviable but necessary action."
19,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_06003_000200_ALPHINAUD","...Understood. I ask that you allow us to aid you in quelling this threat."
20,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_06003_000210_AWAHEEN","You would risk your lives to help us yet again? I have no words to express my gratitude."
21,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_06003_000220_AWAHEEN","Our regiments approach the north from several directions, with a number of units set to depart from the docks of Yedlihmad."
22,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_06003_000230_AWAHEEN","They will make landfall in an area of dense jungle, where one can expect to encounter dangers even beyond the fell beasts we hunt."
23,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_06003_000240_AWAHEEN","I leave you to your preparation. You will find me at the docks when you are ready to depart."
24,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_06003_000250_ALISAIE","We're as prepared as we'll ever be. Let's go."

29,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_06003_000300_ALPHINAUD","What is it?"
30,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_06003_000310_YSHTOLA","The beast was there...and now it is no more, yes?"
31,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_06003_000320_THANCRED","Indeed, we saw it plain. But...you didn't, did you?"
32,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_06003_000330_YSHTOLA","I saw nothing. Not the blasphemy that perished here, nor the other men-turned-beasts. And because of this, I now see all too well..."
33,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_06003_000340_YSHTOLA","There is no aether. Where the creatures should be, I saw naught but emptiness..."
34,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_06003_000350_ALPHINAUD","Emptiness? But that would mean..."
35,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_06003_000360_YSHTOLA","Recall the words of the watcher. 'Twas a stagnancy of aether─a cessation of flow leading to decay and absence─that led the ancients to conclude their star was dying..."
36,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_06003_000370_YSHTOLA","This is the same phenomenon. The instant these people are seized by the transformation, their aether begins to...rot and crumble away like dried mud..."
37,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_06003_000380_YSHTOLA","Until, from their corporeal forms to their very souls, naught remains..."
38,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_06003_000390_ALISAIE","But the beast spoke with its dying breath! Surely, at least a sliver of the man it was endured!"
39,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_06003_000400_YSHTOLA","...Mayhap so. But even if the process was incomplete, 'twas little more than a faint residue."
40,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_06003_000410_ALISAIE","Gods be good... You're saying they cannot be saved?"
41,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_06003_000420_YSHTOLA","Not by any means known to me."
42,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_06003_000430_YSHTOLA","...Or by any means at all, like as not. For there is naught left to save."
43,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_06003_000440_GRAHATIA","They return not even to the aetherial sea..."
44,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_06003_000450_VRITRA","The beasts rage on, their hunger insatiable..."
45,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_06003_000460_VRITRA","Even deprived of their master, they perpetuate his legacy of hate."
46,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_06003_000470_VRITRA","Once proud sons and daughters of Thavnair, all of them...and now I spill their blood!"
47,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_06003_000480_AWAHEEN","Vrtra! My friends! I am heartened to see you safe."
48,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_06003_000490_ESTINIEN","You put your secret at risk."
49,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_06003_000500_AWAHEEN","Those closest to me already know the truth─a truth I must now share with one and all."
50,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_06003_000510_AWAHEEN","...Vrtra. Calamity has come to Radz-at-Han. Our fair nation is rent by screams of pain and despair."
51,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_06003_000520_AWAHEEN","More than ever, we require a strong leader to shepherd us through the storm. Reveal your true self to our people, Vrtra, and guide us to salvation!"
52,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_06003_000530_VRITRA","What madness is this, Ahewann? Thou dost forget thyself."
53,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_06003_000540_VRITRA","Were we to reveal our duplicity, it would do naught but foster confusion and chaos."
54,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_06003_000550_VRITRA","Nay, I shall remain the satrap's loyal ally, and do battle with the beasts. Easing hearts and leading the people to safety is thy task, and thine alone."
55,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_06003_000560_VRITRA","I ask that you remain at Ahewann's side, and render unto him what aid you may."
56,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_06003_000570_VRITRA","I know not what lies ahead, but without you, Radz–at–Han will not survive."
57,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_06003_000580_ESTINIEN","...Take me with you."
58,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_06003_000590_ESTINIEN","I am as at home fighting in the air as I am on land. Take me with you."
59,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_06003_000600_VRITRA","Were my words unclear? I require no assistance. Thy place is at Ahewann's side."
60,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_06003_000610_THANCRED","Estinien─here."
61,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_06003_000620_THANCRED","It's the last thing you ever wanted─a linkpearl."
62,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_06003_000630_THANCRED","We'd gain much from knowing your elevated perspective. And it'll keep you from getting lonely─which I know you loathe."
63,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_06003_000640_ESTINIEN"," "
64,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_06003_000650_ESTINIEN","You heard the man. Seems I'm coming with you after all."
65,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_06003_000660_VRITRA","Then I pray thy grip is iron. Be it on thy head if thou dost chance to fall."
66,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_06003_000670_ESTINIEN","Fair enough. Now─shall we?"
67,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_06003_000680_AWAHEEN","I fear it is as Vrtra says: we will not survive this on our own. While I am loath to impose upon you again..."
68,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_06003_000690_ALPHINAUD","I would insist if you did not. 'Tis the very reason we have come."
69,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_06003_000700_AWAHEEN","Then once more I find myself without words to thank you properly. Let us return to the capital and plan our next course of action."
70,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_06003_000710_YSHTOLA","There you are. You've spoken with the survivors?"
71,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_06003_000720_GRAHATIA","Indeed. We thought to share what we have gleaned, that we might together gain a greater understanding of present circumstances."
72,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_06003_000730_ALPHINAUD","Fortuitous timing. Alisaie and I completed our own investigations not long ago."
73,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_06003_000740_YSHTOLA","Then we should take a moment to compare notes. Shall we begin with the two of you?"
74,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_06003_000750_ALPHINAUD","...So the merchant Khalzahl was gravely concerned about his business in the days preceding his untimely end."
75,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_06003_000760_ALISAIE","The tales we heard were much the same. The first victims to be changed into blasphemies were all overcome with anguish of one manner or another."
76,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_06003_000770_ALISAIE","Then those who saw their loved ones stolen before their eyes succumbed to a similar panic, setting in motion a chain of transformations."
77,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_06003_000780_ALPHINAUD","Fear, unease, despair...these negative feelings serve as a catalyst."
78,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_06003_000790_YSHTOLA","If so, then it is not unlike the calamity that befell the ancients."
79,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_06003_000800_YSHTOLA","With their creation magicks they unwittingly gave form to untold horrors."
80,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_06003_000810_YSHTOLA","Had they simply lost control, surely it would have manifested in many forms─not all of them monstrous."
81,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_06003_000820_YSHTOLA","Yet somehow this phenomenon is triggered solely by the darkness in their hearts. A common thread with what we now witness."
82,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_06003_000830_ALPHINAUD","...Common, but not identical. While the beasts the ancients faced were forged with magic alone, those of today are born of sentient beings."
83,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_06003_000840_ALPHINAUD","Why remains to be seen, but there is one fundamental difference between us and our predecessors: our souls are sundered, whereas theirs were not."
84,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_06003_000850_ALPHINAUD","Perhaps that single variable makes all the difference."
85,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_06003_000860_GRAHATIA","If I may...there was another detail that troubled me."
86,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_06003_000870_GRAHATIA","We have it on good authority that Khalzahl's transformation took place before the skies began to burn."
87,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_06003_000880_ALISAIE","What!? If that's true, then the situation's more dire than we realized."
88,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_06003_000890_ALISAIE","It means even if there's no ominous sign presaging the Final Days, anyone─anywhere─has the potential to become a beast."
89,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_06003_000900_ALISAIE","Even in lands we thought safe. Even as we speak..."
90,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_06003_000910_HANNISHMANA","Look, it's the satrap!"
91,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_06003_000920_HANNISHBOYA","The satrap!"
92,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_06003_000930_HANNISHWOMANA","Thank the heavens..."
93,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_06003_000940_AWAHEEN","My countrymen. I am relieved and heartened to see you strong and safe."
94,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_06003_000950_AWAHEEN","While the danger has not yet passed─far from it─allow me to assure you that the beasts that raged within the city walls have been exterminated to the last."
95,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_06003_000960_AWAHEEN","Outside this sanctuary, the brave men and women of the Radiant Host and our dragon ally continue to battle our unholy foes."
96,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_06003_000970_AWAHEEN","I pray these tidings put your minds at ease, and help you calm your hearts. Have faith that we shall soon conquer this terrible trial."
97,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_06003_000980_HANNISHOLDWOMANA","Your Excellency...is there any word from Palaka's Stand?"
98,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_06003_000990_HANNISHOLDWOMANA","My grandson was bound for there yesterday, and I-I worry for his life..."
99,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_06003_001000_AWAHEEN","We are still awaiting a report. But I promise you, as soon as I have aught to share..."

106,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_06003_001070_MATSYA","When the skies turned red, I set off for Palaka's Stand, fearing for the safety of a friend."
107,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_06003_001080_MATSYA","But as I drew near the village, I saw dreadful beasts all about."
108,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_06003_001090_HANNISHOLDWOMANA","No... Gods have mercy..."
109,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_06003_001100_HANNISHOLDWOMANA","Your Excellency! Save my grandson! I beg of you!"
110,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_06003_001110_AWAHEEN","We will spare no effort to save all we can. But you must remain calm─"
111,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_06003_001120_HANNISHOLDWOMANA","Calm!? You tell me to be calm!? You saw those beasts! They tore our bravest warriors limb from limb!"
112,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_06003_001130_HANNISHOLDWOMANA","What if we are too late? If they catch him─sink their fangs into him..."
113,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_06003_001140_HANNISHOLDWOMANA","The fangs...the blood...the screams!"
