1,"TEXT_AKTKRA305_04760_SEQ_01","While waiting for Claudien to regain his senses, Lahabrea asks you about the Ascian that shared his name, confessing that he sees the Paragon's actions as a logical evolution of his own devotion to duty. Knowing now what is to come, he soundly rejects the now-awakened professor's attempts to express gratitude, though this may be out of principle rather than contrition. Regardless, having fulfilled his role to the last, Lahabrea fades into the aetherial sea once more, leaving you with the tantalizing suggestion that should you return to the past, Pandæmonium's final mysteries might be solved."
2,"TEXT_AKTKRA305_04760_SEQ_02","While Erichthonios and Themis greet you warmly in Pandæmonium, Lahabrea reacts with characteristic curtness. Apparently, he was just on his way to settle some matters of grave import, so you follow him to an empty chamber where Hegemone awaits. Lahabrea accuses her of setting Hephaistos free, surmising that she has been under the influence of Athena's mind-controlling magicks for some time. With this truth come to light, Lahabrea's decision is made: in order to gain the strength required to break Athena's hold, he will rejoin Hephaistos's essence to his own. After absorbing those bitter memories, the change in his personality is immediately apparent─in him you see the Lahabrea who will one day stand against you as an enemy, and he seems well aware that your respective wills must one day clash. While far from an ideal farewell, the questions that led you back to the past are answered."
3,"TEXT_AKTKRA305_04760_SEQ_03","You return to the present-day's aetherial sea, where Claudien informs you that a new memory has surfaced within the crystal. It shows you a vision of Erichthonios, apparently from the Final Days, wherein he resolves to set the crystal adrift as a warning to survivors about the nature of Pandæmonium. Ere you have time to reflect on your comrade's fate, however, Claudien reveals that the Heart of Sabik has come into his possession, now empty of Athena's memories. As it remains a powerful specimen, Claudien seems keen to devote his coming days to exploring its secrets. Though this is perhaps not the wisest idea, you have more pressing matters to attend to for the moment─namely, one last farewell."
4,"TEXT_AKTKRA305_04760_SEQ_04","You have your final conversation with Themis, during which he reveals that he now possesses some of a later Elidibus's fragmented memories. From what he can make out, he speculates that he agreed to send you to Elpis because of vague recollections of your time together in Pandæmonium, though given the great change wrought upon his personality by the intervening millennia, it is impossible to be certain. Reflecting with fondness upon your time together and the meaning it may hold, he dissipates into the aetherial sea, leaving you to contemplate the vast expanse."
5,"TEXT_AKTKRA305_04760_SEQ_05","Back in Aporia, Claudien affirms his resolve to continue research into the Heart of Sabik and follow such traces as Erichthonios has left behind, thanking you for your brave contribution. Although history may not remember your journey into Pandæmonium, the memories of your allies and their unfaltering courage will be forever etched into your memory."

49,"TEXT_AKTKRA305_04760_RUISSENAUD_000_005","Questions, questions, and more questions! Why did Claudien set out by himself? What did he see? Oh, I do hope he wakes up soon!"
50,"TEXT_AKTKRA305_04760_THEMIS_000_010","We shall stay here and wait for Claudien to regain his senses. Pray rest while you can."
51,"TEXT_AKTKRA305_04760_LAHABREA_000_020","It seems we can do naught but wait."
52,"TEXT_AKTKRA305_04760_LAHABREA_000_400","Perhaps we might discuss a matter which has been troubling me."
53,"TEXT_AKTKRA305_04760_LAHABREA_000_401","While your colleague Nemjiji was enlightening us on the historical events which led to this era, she let slip the name of one of the Ascians...Lahabrea."
54,"TEXT_AKTKRA305_04760_LAHABREA_000_402","Although she knew of the figure only from her research, she was most insistent that there is no evidence connecting the Ascian to myself."
55,"TEXT_AKTKRA305_04760_LAHABREA_000_403","Yet I am aware that this Lahabrea used the Heart of Sabik to sow chaos throughout your world, and I would be a fool to deny such strong connections between us."
56,"TEXT_AKTKRA305_04760_LAHABREA_000_404","You are the only one present who has met the Ascian in question, so I would ask you directly. Are he and I one and the same? Is my fate to work in the shadows and bring about untold destruction?"
57,"TEXT_AKTKRA305_04760_Q1_000_100","What will you say?"
58,"TEXT_AKTKRA305_04760_A1_000_100","You are him."

64,"TEXT_AKTKRA305_04760_LAHABREA_000_420","These Ascians─or “Paragons,” I'm told─were ruthless in their schemes to rejoin the sundered worlds. I have heard but a small number of their deeds, and still I find it difficult to comprehend the depths to which they were willing to sink."
65,"TEXT_AKTKRA305_04760_LAHABREA_000_421","To choose a path of evil, all for the sake of the star..."
66,"TEXT_AKTKRA305_04760_LAHABREA_000_422","...I admit, 'tis a decision I would make under the right circumstances. Although the ages may take their toll, my devotion to my duty will never waver."
67,"TEXT_AKTKRA305_04760_LAHABREA_000_423","Paying no heed to what might be lost, I will treat the Heart of Sabik as a mere tool for my own ends."
68,"TEXT_AKTKRA305_04760_LAHABREA_000_424","Never caring to look beyond the surface, I will unleash forces that I fail to truly comprehend...and remain blissfully ignorant of my hypocrisy all the while."

70,"TEXT_AKTKRA305_04760_CLAUDIEN_000_426","<Split(<Highlight>ObjectParameter(1)</Highlight>, ,1)/>... I have some faint memories of what transpired. You stood against Athena and won."

72,"TEXT_AKTKRA305_04760_CLAUDIEN_000_427","Lahabrea. Erichthonios's memories of you dwell within me still."
73,"TEXT_AKTKRA305_04760_CLAUDIEN_000_428","Through unyielding discipline you hoped to forge a son equal to yourself, but the crucible you placed him in left scars which were loath to heal."
74,"TEXT_AKTKRA305_04760_CLAUDIEN_000_429","Yet you were never motivated by selfishness. All you did was in service of your duty. At the least, I..."
75,"TEXT_AKTKRA305_04760_LAHABREA_000_430","...I will hear no more. Though you may possess Erichthonios's memories, you are not him. In rebirth you have become someone else entirely, and you belong to this age."
76,"TEXT_AKTKRA305_04760_LAHABREA_000_431","As such, I am your enemy. And an enemy does not deserve sympathy."
77,"TEXT_AKTKRA305_04760_CLAUDIEN_000_432","Of course, I would never condone the actions of the Ascian. But you are not him─you are Lahabrea, of the Convocation."
78,"TEXT_AKTKRA305_04760_CLAUDIEN_000_433","You spared no effort in saving us from Athena's machinations. For that you deserve the utmost praise─and my personal thanks."
79,"TEXT_AKTKRA305_04760_LAHABREA_000_434","...If you insist on deceiving yourself, then so be it. My stance remains unchanged."
80,"TEXT_AKTKRA305_04760_LAHABREA_000_435","The most difficult of your trials is behind you─but you may find that Pandæmonium has yet to relinquish the last of its secrets."
81,"TEXT_AKTKRA305_04760_LAHABREA_000_436","Among them is the identity of Hephaistos's liberator, who set the very first wheels in motion. There is but one place to find these answers: the past."
82,"TEXT_AKTKRA305_04760_LAHABREA_000_437","However, I must insist that you keep silent about Athena's fate. While I doubt it would change the decisions I make, you should not tender us information we could not uncover ourselves."
83,"TEXT_AKTKRA305_04760_LAHABREA_000_438","Now that I have said my piece, I shall follow in my son's footsteps."
84,"TEXT_AKTKRA305_04760_LAHABREA_000_439","These odious memories will fade to nothing, as was always their fate."
85,"TEXT_AKTKRA305_04760_LAHABREA_000_440","Farewell."
86,"TEXT_AKTKRA305_04760_THEMIS_000_441","My time, too, draws near, but I believe I can stay long enough to see this matter through."
87,"TEXT_AKTKRA305_04760_THEMIS_000_442","You shall journey to the past to seek out the truth of Lahabrea's words, yes? While Themis himself may have been there to see this encounter, I have the unique opportunity to hear your perspective on the matter. That is, of course, if you will share it with me."
88,"TEXT_AKTKRA305_04760_THEMIS_000_443","I look forward to it. I shall take in the aetherial sea one final time as I await your return."
89,"TEXT_AKTKRA305_04760_CLAUDIEN_000_200","I, too, shall stay here and await your return. I could use the rest, and there is a matter I would discuss with you and Themis before we say our farewells."
90,"TEXT_AKTKRA305_04760_NEMJIJI_000_205","Ruissenaud and I shall return to Aporia and make our report to Master Fourchenault at once. Oh, where to begin?"
91,"TEXT_AKTKRA305_04760_RUISSENAUD_000_210","I believe we've yet to see the full effect these events will have on the aetherial sea. Once Professor Claudien recovers, we must conduct a thorough investigation!"
92,"TEXT_AKTKRA305_04760_THEMIS_000_215","Now all that is left is to return to Pandæmonium and ask Lahabrea to shed light upon its few remaining mysteries. I look forward to your return."
93,"TEXT_AKTKRA305_04760_HEGEMONE_000_220","Ah, you must be <Split(<Highlight>ObjectParameter(1)</Highlight>, ,1)/>. I am Hegemone, keyward of Abyssos─but I suspect you may already know that. We did meet once before, after all, although I was not entirely myself at the time."
94,"TEXT_AKTKRA305_04760_HEGEMONE_000_221","Thanks to you, however, I can rightly say my faculties are mine once more. At present, I am taking stock of the damage done to the facility."
95,"TEXT_AKTKRA305_04760_ERICHTHONIOS_000_225","<Split(<Highlight>ObjectParameter(1)</Highlight>, ,1)/>! I didn't expect to see you again so soon, but 'tis always a joy. You seem...quite happy to be here."
96,"TEXT_AKTKRA305_04760_THEMIS_000_230","Thank you for checking up on us. Did you speak with Hegemone and the other warders on your way here? The work is long, but we have made great strides in undoing Athena's meddling."
97,"TEXT_AKTKRA305_04760_LAHABREA_000_250","<Split(<Highlight>ObjectParameter(1)</Highlight>, ,1)/>. Truth be told, I thought you would have little reason to ever visit this place again. It seems I was wrong."
98,"TEXT_AKTKRA305_04760_Q1_000_200","What will you say?"
99,"TEXT_AKTKRA305_04760_A1_000_200","I'm looking for answers."
100,"TEXT_AKTKRA305_04760_A2_000_200","I just wanted to say hello."
101,"TEXT_AKTKRA305_04760_LAHABREA_000_255","How neatly you obfuscate your motivations. Do as you will, then."
102,"TEXT_AKTKRA305_04760_THEMIS_000_265","<If(PlayerParameter(4))>She<Else/>He</If> has gone through the trouble to visit us, so I hardly think curtness is in order. We braved Pandæmonium together─why not at least share with <If(PlayerParameter(4))>her<Else/>him</If> our progress? "
103,"TEXT_AKTKRA305_04760_THEMIS_000_266","I have relinquished control of Pandæmonium to Lahabrea. I was never meant to hold it for long, and now such authority resides in rightful hands."
104,"TEXT_AKTKRA305_04760_THEMIS_000_267","With Lahabrea's help, we have pored through Athena's research into the hemitheoi. Thus were we able to restore Hegemone's mind and body."
105,"TEXT_AKTKRA305_04760_ERICHTHONIOS_000_268","Yet there is still much work to be done. Damage to repair, keywards to replace...the tasks are too many to count."
106,"TEXT_AKTKRA305_04760_ERICHTHONIOS_000_269","But although the path may be long, our progress is steady. I believe we can safely say that Pandæmonium will soon function as it did before."
107,"TEXT_AKTKRA305_04760_LAHABREA_000_270","Indeed. Before we reach that point, however, there are some matters which must be put to rest."
108,"TEXT_AKTKRA305_04760_LAHABREA_000_271","One concerns Pandæmonium itself, and another is a personal matter. Until they are settled, I cannot move forward."
109,"TEXT_AKTKRA305_04760_LAHABREA_000_272","It shall not take long. Lack of resolve caused me to delay, but I have chosen my course."
110,"TEXT_AKTKRA305_04760_ERICHTHONIOS_000_273","These concerns must be weighty indeed. Do you intend to share your burdens with us?"

112,"TEXT_AKTKRA305_04760_LAHABREA_000_275","Your arrival at this very moment almost beggars belief, but I shall not ask you to leave. I simply ask that you do not interfere─no matter what may happen."

114,"TEXT_AKTKRA305_04760_HEGEMONE_000_451","Why did you call me here, Master Lahabrea? There is still much to be done if the warders are to be freed..."
115,"TEXT_AKTKRA305_04760_LAHABREA_000_452","You have served within Pandæmonium since Athena's time, have you not? That makes you the most senior keyward, now that Agdistis is gone."

118,"TEXT_AKTKRA305_04760_LAHABREA_000_455","A necessary sacrifice, but one which came at no small cost to my natural talents. I am but a shadow of the man I was at the time of my appointment as Lahabrea."
119,"TEXT_AKTKRA305_04760_LAHABREA_000_456","I could never hope to wield the same magicks that Hephaistos used to bind the warders' minds, let alone break their shackles."

122,"TEXT_AKTKRA305_04760_LAHABREA_000_459","Hephaistos left behind fascinating research. His conclusion was that in order to transform a vessel into a hemitheos, absolute control over their mind was essential."
123,"TEXT_AKTKRA305_04760_LAHABREA_000_460","As you well know, the magicks used to achieve such dominion exploited strong emotions within their victims' hearts. In the case of Hesperos and Agdistis, their respect for me."

Apparently, he was just on his way to settle some matters of grave import, so you follow him to an empty chamber where Hegemone awaits. Lahabrea accuses her of setting Hephaistos free, surmising that she has been under the influence of Athena's mind-controlling magicks for some time. With this truth come to light, Lahabrea's decision is made: in order to gain the strength required to break Athena's hold, he will rejoin Hephaistos's essence to his own. After absorbing those bitter memories, the change in his personality is immediately apparent─in him you see the Lahabrea who will one day stand against you as an enemy, and he seems well aware that your respective wills must one day clash.

You have your final conversation with Themis, during which he reveals that he now possesses some of a later Elidibus's fragmented memories. From what he can make out, he speculates that he agreed to send you to Elpis because of vague recollections of your time together in Pandæmonium, though given the great change wrought upon his personality by the intervening millennia, it is impossible to be certain. Reflecting with fondness upon your time together and the meaning it may hold, he dissipates into the aetherial sea, leaving you to contemplate the vast expanse.
6 2 TEXT_AKTKRA305_04760_SEQ_02 5 TEXT_AKTKRA305_04760_SEQ_05 While Erichthonios and Themis greet you warmly in Pandæmonium, Lahabrea reacts with characteristic curtness. Apparently, he was just on his way to settle some matters of grave import, so you follow him to an empty chamber where Hegemone awaits. Lahabrea accuses her of setting Hephaistos free, surmising that she has been under the influence of Athena's mind-controlling magicks for some time. With this truth come to light, Lahabrea's decision is made: in order to gain the strength required to break Athena's hold, he will rejoin Hephaistos's essence to his own. After absorbing those bitter memories, the change in his personality is immediately apparent─in him you see the Lahabrea who will one day stand against you as an enemy, and he seems well aware that your respective wills must one day clash. While far from an ideal farewell, the questions that led you back to the past are answered. Back in Aporia, Claudien affirms his resolve to continue research into the Heart of Sabik and follow such traces as Erichthonios has left behind, thanking you for your brave contribution. Although history may not remember your journey into Pandæmonium, the memories of your allies and their unfaltering courage will be forever etched into your memory.

It shows you a vision of Erichthonios, apparently from the Final Days, wherein he resolves to set the crystal adrift as a warning to survivors about the nature of Pandæmonium. Ere you have time to reflect on your comrade's fate, however, Claudien reveals that the Heart of Sabik has come into his possession, now empty of Athena's memories. As it remains a powerful specimen, Claudien seems keen to devote his coming days to exploring its secrets. Though this is perhaps not the wisest idea, you have more pressing matters to attend to for the moment─namely, one last farewell.
