1,"TEXT_AKTKMZ101_04660_SEQ_01","The Radiant scout explains to you that he recently happened upon a voidsent while out on patrol. The beast was strangely docile, however, and against his better judgment, he chose to capture rather than slay it. Hearing of your recent foray into the void, he hopes your expertise can prove useful in discerning what the voidsent may be plotting. To that end, he asks you to accompany him to the Hall of the Radiant Host."
2,"TEXT_AKTKMZ101_04660_SEQ_02","Having died shortly after your arrival at the court of Troia, the sullen-eyed voidsent fled to the Source seeking sanctuary from the void's vicious cycle of undeath. However, it was not fully recovered before making the journey, causing it to split into several lesser voidsent. It asks that you search Radz-at-Han for its missing kin. In exchange, they will share with you knowledge of the void."
3,"TEXT_AKTKMZ101_04660_SEQ_03","You travel about the city and find four wayward hecteyes, each of which recounts a grim tale of the Thirteenth and the denizens of the void. The voidsent will no doubt be glad to be reunited, and the Radiant scout relieved to know the streets are safe."
4,"TEXT_AKTKMZ101_04660_SEQ_04","The sullen-eyed voidsent thanks you for gathering its kindred voidsent, and makes ready to reunite with them...but something is amiss. It would seem there are yet more pieces of itself that have yet to be found. Should the hecteyes sense more wayward voidsent, it hopes you will answer its call for help once more."

50,"TEXT_AKTKMZ101_04660_SCOUT04660_000_005","I immediately chased it down with the intent of eliminating it, but something about it struck me as odd. For one, it made no move to defend itself, but simply sat there, er...jiggling. Which is why, against my better judgment, I decided to capture it instead."
51,"TEXT_AKTKMZ101_04660_SCOUT04660_000_006","Having traveled to the void, I daresay you have considerable knowledge of its denizens. If you have a moment, might I trouble you for your opinion on the creature's unusual behavior?"

55,"TEXT_AKTKMZ101_04660_SCOUT04660_000_101","Surprisingly docile, even when I captured it. And there have been no reports of attacks prior to that."
56,"TEXT_AKTKMZ101_04660_SCOUT04660_000_102","Even so, it's the nature of voidsent to prey on people for their aether. Perhaps it bides its time, waiting to carry out some manner of scheme..."
57,"TEXT_AKTKMZ101_04660_HECTEYES_000_103","You! I remember you. Yes, you were at Troia. Please, you must help me!"

62,"TEXT_AKTKMZ101_04660_HECTEYES_000_106","Indeed I was, but I've since fled here."
63,"TEXT_AKTKMZ101_04660_HECTEYES_000_107","I understand the mortal tongue well enough, but I don't have a mouth to produce the sounds. It's been a struggle to convey my thoughts."

66,"TEXT_AKTKMZ101_04660_HECTEYES_000_110","When you and yours stormed the castle, I was caught up in the fighting and died."
67,"TEXT_AKTKMZ101_04660_HECTEYES_000_111","In time I returned, but I tire of fighting. So I fled, using the gate to your world."
68,"TEXT_AKTKMZ101_04660_HECTEYES_000_112","Having just been reborn, however, my essence hadn't fully bound together yet. And so, when I emerged from the gate, it was as several sundered selves. "
69,"TEXT_AKTKMZ101_04660_HECTEYES_000_113","Frightened and confused, they scattered. Following their trail led me here, my diminutive size allowing me to remain largely unseen."
70,"TEXT_AKTKMZ101_04660_HECTEYES_000_114","But by the same token, I can do little more than sneak about. Each of us was weak and powerless. That's why we consumed one another in the first place. Together we were strong. I want you to help me find all of me, so that I can be whole again."
71,"TEXT_AKTKMZ101_04660_Q2_000_000","What will you say?"
72,"TEXT_AKTKMZ101_04660_A2_000_001","You wish to strike a bargain, then?"

75,"TEXT_AKTKMZ101_04660_HECTEYES_000_117","Why, live here, of course. I've always wanted to."
76,"TEXT_AKTKMZ101_04660_HECTEYES_000_118","I─<Emphasis>we</Emphasis>─still remember the past, you see. Still remember when we were mortals."
77,"TEXT_AKTKMZ101_04660_HECTEYES_000_119","We long to have that life again. But we need your help, starting by reuniting us. We won't try to devour anyone even when we're whole, I swear!"
78,"TEXT_AKTKMZ101_04660_HECTEYES_000_120","You wish to learn more about the void, yes? There is much we can teach you about those who rule its domains. About their past."
79,"TEXT_AKTKMZ101_04660_HECTEYES_100_120","Find the others, and they'll tell you all they know. No eating, no tricks. Do we have a bargain?"
80,"TEXT_AKTKMZ101_04660_SCOUT04660_000_121","So it crossed over to our world to escape conflict, and now searches for...the rest of itself?"
81,"TEXT_AKTKMZ101_04660_SCOUT04660_000_122","I understand voidsent are quite reliable when it comes to fulfilling a pact. And I daresay having one as an ally would benefit our research into their world..."
82,"TEXT_AKTKMZ101_04660_SCOUT04660_000_123","Very well. If you would be so kind as to search for its kin, I will consult my superiors on how best to deal with them."
83,"TEXT_AKTKMZ101_04660_HECTEYES_000_124","By that, I take it we have a bargain. Good, good."
84,"TEXT_AKTKMZ101_04660_HECTEYES_000_125","I sense four others close by. When you find them, you need only point them in this direction. Once they sense my presence, I can guide them the rest of the way."
85,"TEXT_AKTKMZ101_04660_SCOUT04660_000_130","My thanks again for your help. If you could see the other voidsent back here, I will tend to the rest."
86,"TEXT_AKTKMZ101_04660_HECTEYES_000_135","Like me, the others have an interest in the lives of mortals. They are bound to be here, in this city."
87,"TEXT_AKTKMZ101_04660_SYSTEM_000_200","You have found the last of the voidsent. Time to head back to the Hall of the Radiant Host."
88,"TEXT_AKTKMZ101_04660_VOIDSENT04660A_000_201","What's that? <Emphasis>I</Emphasis> asked you to search for me...in exchange for knowledge about powerful voidsent?"
89,"TEXT_AKTKMZ101_04660_VOIDSENT04660A_000_202","I was still wanting to see this and that, but I suppose a deal is a deal..."
90,"TEXT_AKTKMZ101_04660_VOIDSENT04660A_000_203","Those men over there. Soldiers, are they not? We used to have soldiers in our world, too. There were lots of them during the Contramemoria."
91,"TEXT_AKTKMZ101_04660_WARRIOR04660A_000_204","Ah, back from Weaver's Warding, are you? I hear you fought well against the voidsent that slipped through."
92,"TEXT_AKTKMZ101_04660_WARRIOR04660B_000_205","Come now, I merely did my duty. Haven't we all sworn to protect our nation, no matter the cost?"
93,"TEXT_AKTKMZ101_04660_VOIDSENT04660A_000_206","“Protect our nation.” How familiar, those words. Where was it that I heard them...?"
94,"TEXT_AKTKMZ101_04660_VOIDSENT04660A_000_207","Ah, yes. It was the early days of the Contramemoria. The enemy had conjured a terrible eidolon that laid siege to a fortress."
95,"TEXT_AKTKMZ101_04660_VOIDSENT04660A_000_208","The garrison was made up of ordinary soldiers. Men and women with no remarkable abilities. But led by their valiant commander, they fought bravely and desperately."
96,"TEXT_AKTKMZ101_04660_VOIDSENT04660A_000_209","They had to last until the memoriate arrived, the commander told them. Needed to hold out no matter the cost."
97,"TEXT_AKTKMZ101_04660_VOIDSENT04660A_000_210","A memoriate did eventually arrive. But not soon enough for the soldiers."

103,"TEXT_AKTKMZ101_04660_EARTHMONOLITH_000_216","The eidolon was savage, but mindless. It was a simple thing to hide myself beneath fallen debris."
104,"TEXT_AKTKMZ101_04660_MEMORIAMASTER04660_000_217","Hide!? As commander, you had a duty to your men! You were supposed to put their lives before your own!"
105,"TEXT_AKTKMZ101_04660_EARTHMONOLITH_000_218","Spare me! My duty was to ensure the fortress stood─and it did!"
106,"TEXT_AKTKMZ101_04660_EARTHMONOLITH_000_219","Besides, my death would've achieved nothing, honor be damned! No, I'm sworn to protect our nation, and to do that I must live! It isn't my fate to fall here!"

110,"TEXT_AKTKMZ101_04660_MEMORIAMASTER04660_000_223","Fate shall decide what becomes of him. Whether he lives or dies."
111,"TEXT_AKTKMZ101_04660_STEWARD04660_000_224","Very well, my lord."
112,"TEXT_AKTKMZ101_04660_VOIDSENT04660A_000_225","(-Wayward Hecteye-)Funeral rites were later held for the fallen. But solemn tears quickly gave way to horrified screams as a body emerged from the earth─the commander."
