58,"TEXT_STMBDA205_02474_GYODO_000_016","Yes, yes, this would not be a problem. For you, I could charter a ship this very day."
59,"TEXT_STMBDA205_02474_GYODO_000_017","But the journey is fraught with much peril! The fare will not be cheap. Are you sure you can afford to pay?"
60,"TEXT_STMBDA205_02474_LYSE_000_018","I didn't think to bring any money...but surely Tataru will let us take whatever we need from the Scions' coffers, right?"
61,"TEXT_STMBDA205_02474_LYSE_000_019","We wouldn't be the only passengers, though... Could we take a moment to talk it over with our friends?"
62,"TEXT_STMBDA205_02474_GYODO_000_020","Yes, yes, but hurry! Your ship must depart under cover of darkness. We shall meet again at sunset on the Tasogare Bridge. Do not forget your fare! Bring many gil, yes!?"

65,"TEXT_STMBDA205_02474_HANCOCK_000_035","I hope my information was of value?"
66,"TEXT_STMBDA205_02474_TATARU_000_040","You wouldn't <Emphasis>believe</Emphasis> some of the things you can find down at the markets! We're spoiled for choice here!"
67,"TEXT_STMBDA205_02474_ALPHINAUD_000_050","We spoke with a number of merchants and captains at the southern piers."
68,"TEXT_STMBDA205_02474_ALPHINAUD_000_051","Several recognized Gosetsu and confirmed that he had been searching for a vessel to deliver him to Othard. None, however, made any mention of Lady Yugiri..."
69,"TEXT_STMBDA205_02474_LYSE_000_052","Yes, it was the same story for us─and then you'll never believe what happened...!"
70,"TEXT_STMBDA205_02474_ALPHINAUD_000_053","...So this Gyodo claims to have aided both Gosetsu and Yugiri? How fortuitous."
71,"TEXT_STMBDA205_02474_HANCOCK_000_054","Not the word I would have chosen, Master Alphinaud."
72,"TEXT_STMBDA205_02474_TATARU_000_055","Stupid's what I'd call it! How can you agree to his price without making any attempt to haggle? Or even confirming what it was in the first place!?"
73,"TEXT_STMBDA205_02474_HANCOCK_000_056","Yes...that <Emphasis>too</Emphasis> was a misstep on their part, but it is not what troubles me most. Gyodo and his brethren are not renowned for their generosity of spirit. Rather, they are disdained as scheming moneylenders, ever eager to turn a profit from others' misfortune."
74,"TEXT_STMBDA205_02474_ALISAIE_000_057","Everyone else we questioned stated that Gosetsu was alone. Only Gyodo claims to have met both him and Yugiri..."
75,"TEXT_STMBDA205_02474_ALISAIE_000_058","I suppose it's just possible that Gosetsu made inquiries by himself, and only called upon Yugiri once he had found a willing captain...?"
76,"TEXT_STMBDA205_02474_HANCOCK_000_059","...But it is equally possible─if not more likely─that you are being deceived. Do not forget that there are parties present in Kugane with agendas which may run contrary to your own."
77,"TEXT_STMBDA205_02474_HANCOCK_000_060","The viceroy was once a spy herself, as I recall. I should be surprised if she did not have countless agents here in her employ─all eager to prove themselves to their new master. And what better way to do so than by delivering her the heads of foreign insurgents?"
78,"TEXT_STMBDA205_02474_LYSE_000_061","Fine. You may be right about him. But if Gyodo's working for the Empire, who's to say he didn't try the same trick on Yugiri and Gosetsu? I mean, if he <Emphasis>did</Emphasis>, he might know where they are. And if he <Emphasis>succeeded</Emphasis>, they might be in trouble!"
79,"TEXT_STMBDA205_02474_LYSE_000_062","Anyway, if he holds up his end of the bargain, we'll have nothing to worry about, will we? But if he tries to betray us, I vote we take him prisoner and punch him till he tells us the truth."
80,"TEXT_STMBDA205_02474_ALISAIE_000_063","So, if it's a trap, we'll spring it and deal with the consequences. Hmm...I like the way you think."
81,"TEXT_STMBDA205_02474_ALPHINAUD_000_064","<sigh> Very well... We should prepare for the worst. Tataru will remain here, and I shall follow the three of you at a discreet distance."
82,"TEXT_STMBDA205_02474_HANCOCK_000_065","Once more, I must caution you to avoid physical altercations at all costs─even should imperial agents attempt to engage you. The Sekiseigumi will not hesitate to clap you in irons...or cut you down."
83,"TEXT_STMBDA205_02474_HANCOCK_000_066","If anything untoward should happen, you are to return here at once. Is that clear?"
84,"TEXT_STMBDA205_02474_ALPHINAUD_000_070","Rest assured, I will not be far behind, <Split(<Highlight>ObjectParameter(1)</Highlight>, ,1)/>. While I am no shinobi, I can keep to the shadows when necessary."
85,"TEXT_STMBDA205_02474_HANCOCK_000_075","The Sekiseigumi are not to be trifled with. Rare is the week that I do not hear at least one tale of an ijin being arrested under dubious pretext. Fortunately, a wealthy and well-connected ally can help resolve such matters with the minimum of fuss."
86,"TEXT_STMBDA205_02474_LYSE_000_080","And there I was thinking Gyodo was just being nice. I tell you now, if Hancock's right about all of this, that fish is getting filleted."
87,"TEXT_STMBDA205_02474_TATARU_000_085","I had a feeling we might find ourselves in a situation like this, so I made sure to stock up on some “special supplies” that I thought might prove useful. Alisaie has them, in case you're wondering."
88,"TEXT_STMBDA205_02474_ALISAIE_000_090","To review: Lyse, <Split(<Highlight>ObjectParameter(1)</Highlight>, ,1)/>, and I will meet with Gyodo as planned."
89,"TEXT_STMBDA205_02474_ALISAIE_000_091","Alphinaud will keep watch from a distance, ready to provide support in the likely event that Gyodo attempts to betray us to the imperials or whomever else."
90,"TEXT_STMBDA205_02474_ALISAIE_000_092","Should that happen, you and Lyse will subdue him, and together we will make our escape."
91,"TEXT_STMBDA205_02474_ALISAIE_000_093","As our actions will surely draw the attention of the Sekiseigumi, we will evade them with Alphinaud's assistance and return here with our prisoner. Does that meet with everyone's approval?"
92,"TEXT_STMBDA205_02474_ALISAIE_000_094","Of course, these precautions will be for naught if Gyodo does not play us for fools...but we shall see. To the bridge!"
93,"TEXT_STMBDA205_02474_LYSE_000_095","...It's a trap, isn't it. We may as well stop kidding ourselves."
94,"TEXT_STMBDA205_02474_ALISAIE_000_100","Our would-be ally is nowhere to be seen... Make ready, <Split(<Highlight>ObjectParameter(1)</Highlight>, ,1)/>. Something smells...fishy..."
95,"TEXT_STMBDA205_02474_ALPHINAUD_000_110","All things considered, that went rather well. Thanks to Soroban, that is."
96,"TEXT_STMBDA205_02474_SOROBAN_000_115","Though we Kojin are of the sea, we often come ashore to sell our wares and peruse your markets. It is my hope that an arrangement with the East Aldenard Trading Company will help us to more quickly obtain the treasures that we seek."
97,"TEXT_STMBDA205_02474_HANCOCK_000_120","You are doubtless wondering why our objectively <Emphasis>green</Emphasis>-hued friend here refers to himself as a Kojin of the Blue. The answer is quite fascinating, really. The Kojin language has many similarities with ancient Hingan, you see, and in ancient Hingan, the word for green, “ao,” can mean green and or blue─though I do the word a disservice by even attempting to translate it, so steeped in meaning as it is. Why they elected to keep on calling themselves the “blue” in modern times is anyone's guess─I for one would have much preferred “Kojin of the Ao”─but one theory posits that they prefer the sound of the word “blue” when spoken. Another is that they are physically incapable of distinguishing between the two, which would have interesting implications in their everyday lives..."
98,"TEXT_STMBDA205_02474_ALISAIE_000_125","There's no denying that they were imperials. They were wearing the same uniforms as the ones outside the consulate."
99,"TEXT_STMBDA205_02474_LYSE_000_130","I'm still annoyed he tried to deceive us, but at least we were prepared for it."
100,"TEXT_STMBDA205_02474_LYSE_000_131","Even so, next time we should probably try to avoid running around Kugane in the middle of the night with half the city guard snapping at our heels..."
101,"TEXT_STMBDA205_02474_ALISAIE_900_010","As expected, the Sekiseigumi have caught our scent. Since fighting them is out of the question, we'll have to wind our way back to the Ruby Bazaar, evading their patrols as we go."
102,"TEXT_STMBDA205_02474_ALISAIE_900_011","If they find you, use these smoke bombs to make your escape!"

The Kojin language has many similarities with ancient Hingan, you see, and in ancient Hingan, the word for green, “ao,” can mean green and or blue─though I do the word a disservice by even attempting to translate it, so steeped in meaning as it is. Why they elected to keep on calling themselves the “blue” in modern times is anyone's guess─I for one would have much preferred “Kojin of the Ao”─but one theory posits that they prefer the sound of the word “blue” when spoken. Another is that they are physically incapable of distinguishing between the two, which would have interesting implications in their everyday lives..."
