79,"TEXT_AKTKMH110_04535_CID_000_065","All right, let's take a look at this talisman of yours. You said there were signs of degradation?"
80,"TEXT_AKTKMH110_04535_CID_000_066","Hm, it seems some manner of corrosion has set in around a scratch on its surface─much as the void's corruption seeped into Nero through his wounds. In which case, our best bet may be to simply prevent the scale from being damaged in the first place."
81,"TEXT_AKTKMH110_04535_YSHTOLA_000_067","And how might we achieve that?"
82,"TEXT_AKTKMH110_04535_CID_000_068","We have a coating agent for strengthening trinkets and the like, but I'd be wary of applying any compound which might upset the scale's delicate alchemical balance. Far safer to dress it in armor."
83,"TEXT_AKTKMH110_04535_CID_000_069","We'll construct a protective casing─one utilizing metal alloys with high aetherial conductivity, so as not to impede the talisman's primary function."

100,"TEXT_AKTKMH110_04535_ESTINIEN_000_181","'Twas for the greater good. The wyrm's thundering sighs were keeping his citizens awake at night, and had travelers believing the palace wracked by some unnatural storm."
101,"TEXT_AKTKMH110_04535_YSHTOLA_000_182","What of your own answer, then? You seemed disinclined to venture into the void..."

109,"TEXT_AKTKMH110_04535_YSHTOLA_000_187","Indeed, but perfect for our purpose, I should think. I'd rather not bother the Scions with aught less than a dire threat to the star."

112,"TEXT_AKTKMH110_04535_YSHTOLA_000_190","It will make for an interesting journey besides. Traveling in a smaller party for a change─crowds can be a bit draining, don't you think?"

114,"TEXT_AKTKMH110_04535_YSHTOLA_000_191","Unlike the First, where the Flood of Light was halted before its devastation was complete, the Thirteenth has been utterly subsumed by Darkness. My plan, as such, is to explore the void in stages, withdrawing to safety after each brief foray."
