67,"TEXT_LUCKSA002_03835_MEESIYA_000_080","It is said Queen Gunnhildr etched a holy inscription into each blade, thus granting them the power of the gods. Unfortunately, no records of any such engravings remain, but there is still hope."
68,"TEXT_LUCKSA002_03835_MEESIYA_000_081","Though naught but pale imitations, there once existed replicas which may very well have borne these inscriptions. Alas, they were lost when Bozja Citadel fell. "

73,"TEXT_LUCKSA002_03835_MARSHAK_000_085","A bitter chapter in our history, for it would mark the end of Bozja as we knew it."
74,"TEXT_LUCKSA002_03835_MARSHAK_000_090","That a worldly adventurer such as yourself would know of this is of no surprise. If I may, I would share the tragic tale of our homeland."
75,"TEXT_LUCKSA002_03835_MARSHAK_000_095","Fifteen summers past, the Garleans were conducting experiments, seeking a means to make contact with the lesser moon, Dalamud."
76,"TEXT_LUCKSA002_03835_MARSHAK_000_096","They believed the satellite to be possessed of immense power, and a lunar transmitter was erected in the hopes of harnessing it."

80,"TEXT_LUCKSA002_03835_BAISHAEN_000_100","An explanation better left to one far more knowledgeable than I."
81,"TEXT_LUCKSA002_03835_GEROLT_000_105","I reckon I'll leave the lass over there to you. Scholarly types like her have a knack for rubbin' me the wrong way, an' I can't hardly understand half o' what they say in the first place."

86,"TEXT_LUCKSA002_03835_MIKOTO_000_135","Have I truly left so little an impression? It is I, Mikoto, of House Jinba. Do you not recall our journey together to Rabanastre?"
87,"TEXT_LUCKSA002_03835_MIKOTO_000_140","You are far too kind. If not for your heroism, Ramza and Alma would have...would have..."
88,"TEXT_LUCKSA002_03835_BAISHAEN_000_141","From the onset of our endeavor, it was abundantly clear that one versed in aetherology would be essential. We relayed this to the alliance, who then introduced us to Mikoto. She is said to be one of the most brilliant minds among the Students of Baldesion."
89,"TEXT_LUCKSA002_03835_MIKOTO_000_142","And yet it is my ineptitude that demands your presence here. <sigh> I was all but certain that Gerolt and I alone would suffice in this, alas..."
90,"TEXT_LUCKSA002_03835_MEESIYA_000_143","Ahem. The matter she speaks of concerns a long-forgotten practice of the holy men who once inhabited these lands. Utilizing uniquely aspected crystals, these seers were able to provide succor for those with ailments of the mind."
91,"TEXT_LUCKSA002_03835_MEESIYA_000_144","They possessed the ability to shape their very memories, removing those deemed harmful and replacing them, that the patient may find some semblance of peace."
92,"TEXT_LUCKSA002_03835_MARSHAK_000_145","I too dismissed the notion that such practices could exist. That is, until a recent excavation unearthed compelling evidence of their work: the crystals we believe were used in their healing."
93,"TEXT_LUCKSA002_03835_MARSHAK_000_146","Unfortunately, we were unable to discern how they are meant to be used. It was at this juncture that we petitioned for Mikoto's assistance."
94,"TEXT_LUCKSA002_03835_GEROLT_000_147","Well, lass? Made any progress?"
95,"TEXT_LUCKSA002_03835_MIKOTO_000_148","My initial analysis suggests the crystals were artificially created at some point in the distant past. The materials used suggest they were most likely produced by the ancestral peoples of this area."
96,"TEXT_LUCKSA002_03835_MIKOTO_000_149","What's more, their aetherial signature is strikingly similar to the oscillatory activity of brain waves which, when made to resonate with the distinct-frequency NRR–type harmonic vibrations of an individual's─ Ah. I've done it again, haven't I?"
97,"TEXT_LUCKSA002_03835_MIKOTO_000_150","I think...a simpler approach is in order. Ahem. Every living being is comprised of corporeal aether of the flesh, incorporeal aether of the soul, and the aetherial residue of their memories."
98,"TEXT_LUCKSA002_03835_MIKOTO_000_151","Were one to be possessed of only corporeal aether, they would be but a walking corpse. Conversely, entities comprised of only incorporeal aether are referred to in layman's terms as ghosts. In either case, they may also retain some of their residual memories."
99,"TEXT_LUCKSA002_03835_GEROLT_000_152","Aye, zombies and ghosts. I follow."
100,"TEXT_LUCKSA002_03835_MIKOTO_000_153","These crystals are able to isolate and resonate with the aetherial signature of memories. This allowed the seers to probe the minds of their patients."
101,"TEXT_LUCKSA002_03835_GEROLT_000_154","That's all well an' good, lass, but what if their mind ain't what it used to be? Or they was too deep in their cups to remember what yer lookin' for?"
102,"TEXT_LUCKSA002_03835_MIKOTO_000_155","An excellent question, Master Gerolt. We are all possessed of two types of memory─explicit and implicit."
103,"TEXT_LUCKSA002_03835_MIKOTO_000_156","As their names suggest, explicit memories refer to an active remembrance of previous experiences, while implicit memories are acquired and stored passively."
104,"TEXT_LUCKSA002_03835_MIKOTO_000_157","For example, when making a new acquaintance, their appearance will become part of your explicit memory, allowing you to recall that information. Should a great deal of time pass without meeting, however, such recollection can prove difficult."
105,"TEXT_LUCKSA002_03835_MIKOTO_000_158","Yet in that moment, your mind also takes record of the sounds and smells of the location, the temperature, and so on."
106,"TEXT_LUCKSA002_03835_MIKOTO_000_159","Hmm... Perhaps a demonstration would better explain this phenomenon."
107,"TEXT_LUCKSA002_03835_Q4_000_300","What will you say?"
108,"TEXT_LUCKSA002_03835_A1_000_300","Without a seer?"
109,"TEXT_LUCKSA002_03835_A2_000_300","Don't we need some sort of spell?"
110,"TEXT_LUCKSA002_03835_MIKOTO_000_170","Thankfully, that will not be necessary."
111,"TEXT_LUCKSA002_03835_MIKOTO_000_171","When I was first told of the seers and their practices, I was immediately reminded of your ability to peer into the past."
112,"TEXT_LUCKSA002_03835_MIKOTO_000_172","I believe these people were blessed with a similar gift, and it is for that reason they were chosen to serve as seers."
113,"TEXT_LUCKSA002_03835_MIKOTO_000_173","Though I too am possessed of the Echo, I lack the ability to peer into the past as you do, and thus have been unable to wield the power of these crystals."
114,"TEXT_LUCKSA002_03835_GEROLT_000_174","That's why we called ye here."
115,"TEXT_LUCKSA002_03835_MIKOTO_000_175","Until now I could do naught but posit theories. With your help, however, I may now put them to the proof. "
116,"TEXT_LUCKSA002_03835_MIKOTO_000_176","And you, Master Gerolt, shall be my first test subject."
117,"TEXT_LUCKSA002_03835_MIKOTO_000_250","<Split(<Highlight>ObjectParameter(1)</Highlight>, ,1)/>, I would like you to recall the last time you experienced the Echo. Concentrate on that feeling.
