1,"TEXT_GAIUSE316_01457_SEQ_01","Alphinaud lays before you the plan to establish a realm-wide Grand Company. The Scion goes on to lament that though the three nations' leaders are not opposed to the idea itself, endless deliberations over its implementation have slowed progress to a crawl. In order to demonstrate the efficacy of such a company and thus encourage the leaders to come to an agreement, Alphinaud explains that he has proposed the creation of a smaller, precursor organization─the vanguard to a future united Eorzea. The young Elezen requests that you join him on his journey to each of the three nations that you might begin scouting potential members for this trial company while he is engaged with finalizing the bureaucratic formalities. Head first to Limsa Lominsa and rendezvous with Alphinaud at Bulwark Hall."
2,"TEXT_GAIUSE316_01457_SEQ_02","After giving you a brief explanation on the recruitment process, Alphinaud heads up to the Bridge to speak with the Admiral. Make your way to the upper decks and begin scouting for potential company members."
3,"TEXT_GAIUSE316_01457_SEQ_03","You speak with a number of possible candidates for the trial organization, but are only successful in gaining the interest of Riol, a member of the now defunct Company of Heroes. Head to the airship landing and report to Alphinaud."
4,"TEXT_GAIUSE316_01457_SEQ_04","You have reported the fruits of your labor to the young Scion. He is impressed by the caliber of your first recruit, and bids you join him on the second leg of his journey. Travel next to Gridania, and find Alphinaud at Nophica's Altar."
5,"TEXT_GAIUSE316_01457_SEQ_05","You meet with Alphinaud just as he is due to begin his audience with Kan–E–Senna. Continue your recruiting efforts within Old Gridania while the determined Elezen speaks with the Elder Seedseer."
6,"TEXT_GAIUSE316_01457_SEQ_06","You succeed in recruiting Laurentius and Alianne to the trial company. Make your way to the airship ticket counter and report to Alphinaud."
7,"TEXT_GAIUSE316_01457_SEQ_07","The young Scion appears curious but nevertheless pleased at the addition of a former Wood Wailer and a seasoned adventurer to the ranks. Travel next to Ul'dah, and rendezvous with Alphinaud at the Royal Promenade."
8,"TEXT_GAIUSE316_01457_SEQ_08","Alphinaud is ready to bow before Sultana Nanamo Ul Namo and ask her permission to operate freely within Ul'dah's borders. Make your way to the lower level of the Steps of Thal, and complete the initial stage of the trial company's recruitment efforts."
9,"TEXT_GAIUSE316_01457_SEQ_09","Though your efforts to recruit any native Ul'dahns have failed, you are able to capture the interest of the young Ala Mhigan Wilred. Return to the Royal Promenade and report to Alphinaud."
10,"TEXT_GAIUSE316_01457_SEQ_10","Somewhat disappointed but otherwise unsurprised by the overall number of recruits, Alphinaud is genuinely grateful for the few valuable members you were able to secure. After reporting his own success with the sultana and attempting to dispel any doubt you might have over the Syndicate's involvement, the young Scion suggests a swift return to Revenant's Toll. Make your way back to the Rising Stones and speak with Alphinaud."
11,"TEXT_GAIUSE316_01457_SEQ_11","Upon returning to the Scions' headquarters, you find Alphinaud exhausted from the journey but eager to begin preparations for his trial company's inaugural ceremony. He thanks you for your recruiting efforts, and hints that the Antecedent may wish to assign you new duties. Speak with Minfilia and learn what events have transpired in Revenant's Toll in your absence."

49,"TEXT_GAIUSE316_01457_ALPHINAUD_000_001","Since the advent of the Seventh Astral Era, the leaders of the three nations have been deliberating over an accord that seeks to bring the disparate forces of Eorzea together into a single entity."
50,"TEXT_GAIUSE316_01457_ALPHINAUD_000_002","A realm-wide Grand Company, if you will. The military might of such an institution would be drawn from every corner of the land, and directed against threats that no single nation could hope to overcome alone."
51,"TEXT_GAIUSE316_01457_ALPHINAUD_000_003","Yet while the purpose of this hypothetical organization is undisputed, the logistics of its formation have become the source of endless debate..."
52,"TEXT_GAIUSE316_01457_ALPHINAUD_000_004","And the longer these discussions continue, the more I sense the impetus towards unification draining away. Thus have I been campaigning for the creation of what might be considered a trial company."
53,"TEXT_GAIUSE316_01457_ALPHINAUD_000_005","It will be on a much smaller scale than what we hope to eventually achieve, but capable of the same manner of unrestricted operation accorded to the Scions. 'Tis my hope that the successful utilization of such a force will lend momentum to the lagging deliberations."
54,"TEXT_GAIUSE316_01457_ALPHINAUD_000_006","Also, being a primarily military outfit, I mean to assuage fears of its misuse by placing the fledgling organization under the authority of the Antecedent."
55,"TEXT_GAIUSE316_01457_ALPHINAUD_000_007","The Scions work tirelessly to protect Eorzea and its people."
56,"TEXT_GAIUSE316_01457_ALPHINAUD_000_008","...But as you yourself have witnessed with the refugee revolt, there are limitations to what even we can achieve."
57,"TEXT_GAIUSE316_01457_ALPHINAUD_000_009","With this new company under the Scions' command, however, we will be capable of responding to a wider range of difficulties without straining our resources or overtaxing your formidable talents."
58,"TEXT_GAIUSE316_01457_ALPHINAUD_000_010","The goals of my proposed organization and those of the Scions are ultimately identical─a point conceded by all concerned."
59,"TEXT_GAIUSE316_01457_ALPHINAUD_000_011","But before I can move forward with establishing this precursor to the true, border-spanning Grand Company, 'tis yet necessary that I visit the three leaders and gain their official approval."
60,"TEXT_GAIUSE316_01457_ALPHINAUD_000_012","A tiresome and time-consuming task... Which is why I would ask that you accompany me on the journey, and attend to the business of recruiting our inaugural members while I am otherwise engaged with bureaucratic formalities."
61,"TEXT_GAIUSE316_01457_ALPHINAUD_000_013","...Thank you. 'Tis reassuring indeed to know that the Bringer of Light and <If(PlayerParameter(4))>her<Else/>his</If> discerning eye will be selecting our future allies."
62,"TEXT_GAIUSE316_01457_ALPHINAUD_000_014","Our first destination will be Limsa Lominsa. Let us rendezvous at Bulwark Hall."
63,"TEXT_GAIUSE316_01457_ALPHINAUD_000_020","Ah, there you are. I am ready to ascend to the Bridge and speak with Admiral Bloefhiswyn."
64,"TEXT_GAIUSE316_01457_ALPHINAUD_000_021","While the Admiral and I are finalizing permissory boundaries and signing parchments, I would have you begin the recruitment process in earnest."
65,"TEXT_GAIUSE316_01457_ALPHINAUD_000_022","I have, of course, endeavored to spread the word of our organization through various channels, but I believe a personal approach will reach many who may otherwise remain ignorant of the opportunity."
66,"TEXT_GAIUSE316_01457_ALPHINAUD_000_023","As for potential members, 'tis of no matter should they already be pledged to another institution, only that they are willing to lend their strength when the situation demands it. And you needn't range into the countryside─the upper decks alone are populated with sufficient candidates to suit our purpose."
67,"TEXT_GAIUSE316_01457_ALPHINAUD_000_024","Once you are satisfied with your recruiting efforts, meet me at the airship ticket counter that we might prepare for the next leg of our journey."
68,"TEXT_GAIUSE316_01457_RIOL_000_030","Well, if it ain't <Split(<Highlight>ObjectParameter(1)</Highlight>, ,1)/>! I'd not forget a 'venturer brave enough─or daft enough─to seek the shortcut into Titan's bedchamber!"
69,"TEXT_GAIUSE316_01457_RIOL_000_031","Ye remember ol' Riol, don't ye? Formerly o' the Company of Heroes? Three whistles at Bronze Lake? Aye, it ain't often I drag me arse out to Limsa for a drink, but I'm right glad I did! How fare ye these days?"

71,"TEXT_GAIUSE316_01457_RIOL_000_033","Alrighty, <If(PlayerParameter(4))>lass<Else/>lad</If>, count me in. The Heroes may've gone their separate ways, but I ain't ready to climb into me grave just yet!"
72,"TEXT_GAIUSE316_01457_REYNER_000_040","Master Alphinaud's new organization? Yes, I had heard the formation of his trial company was in the offing."
73,"TEXT_GAIUSE316_01457_REYNER_000_041","'Tis with regret, however, that I must decline your invitation. As commander of the Yellowjackets, the protection of Limsa Lominsa must needs receive my full attention."
74,"TEXT_GAIUSE316_01457_REYNER_000_050","I wish you well in your endeavors, but the Yellowjackets─and the defense of Limsa Lominsa's people─must remain my sole priority."
75,"TEXT_GAIUSE316_01457_CARVALLAIN_000_060","An organization with the freedom to operate with territorial impunity? I must say, your proposal intrigues me."
76,"TEXT_GAIUSE316_01457_CARVALLAIN_000_061","But the Krakens well know that there is a time to act, and a time to watch. And I'm afraid this...“trial company” of yours falls into the latter category."
77,"TEXT_GAIUSE316_01457_CARVALLAIN_000_070","The Krakens do not stir before the currents can be read. For the present, my answer must be a respectful “no.”"
78,"TEXT_GAIUSE316_01457_RHOSWEN_000_080","Eh? Who in the bloody 'ells do ye think yer talkin' to, drylander!? I'm a pirate, not some soddin' knight in shinin' plate! If yer lookin' fer a self-righteous fop, try knockin' on that dandy Carvallain's door!"
79,"TEXT_GAIUSE316_01457_RHOSWEN_000_090","Do I need to fetch me hook? I told ye, go bother Carvallain with yer talk o' do-goodin'."
80,"TEXT_GAIUSE316_01457_HNAANZA_000_100","A precursor to a united Eorzean Grand Company? Hmmm. While I do admire the scope of your ambition, my responsibilities here at Naldiq & Vymelli's keep me close to the forge."
81,"TEXT_GAIUSE316_01457_HNAANZA_000_101","I have not the time to be traipsing hither and yon across the realm. Should you require my skills as an armorer, however, I might be willing to accept some special commissions..."

84,"TEXT_GAIUSE316_01457_ALPHINAUD_000_121","Ah, a member of the legendary Company of Heroes indicated his interest? Astonishing. I knew enlisting your aid was the right choice─few could boast the acquaintance of such an elusive character."
85,"TEXT_GAIUSE316_01457_ALPHINAUD_000_122","I, too, was successful in my task: the Admiral consented to sign all the documents requiring her approval. I can only hope that my visit with the Elder Seedseer proceeds as smoothly. Pray continue on to Gridania at your own pace─I shall await your arrival at Nophica's Altar."
86,"TEXT_GAIUSE316_01457_ALPHINAUD_000_130","My audience with the Elder Seedseer is due to commence momentarily. I would be grateful if you would once more see to the task of recruitment here in Gridania."
