1,TEXT_KINGWZ404_05489_SEQ_01,"Theorizingway has sent out fresh invitations to Studium members who were regrettably unable to attend the previous field trip. Together, the two of you welcome Rurusha, Jude, and Hinageshi to the Timberlodge, each of them modest contributors to the Cosmic Exploration Initiative. Though theirs is an independent tour, you are nevertheless requested to keep an eye on them and answer questions as they arise."
2,TEXT_KINGWZ404_05489_SEQ_02,"The tour's first destination is the Rooting Towerling. Having studied the ambient aether of a fair few destination candidates during his time assisting with the Phaenna Stellascope, Jude has a strong interest in the confluence the tower serves to generate. Rurusha, too, is impressed─both that the forces of nature were so expertly manipulated to suit a civilization's own ends, and that her contributed technology has gone on to analyze ruins on Auxesia as well as Oizys."
3,TEXT_KINGWZ404_05489_SEQ_03,"The tour heads next to New Growth City, where Hinageshi is keen to examine Auxesia through an anthropological lens. Based on the style of architecture, particularly the resin glass windows evocative of greenhouses, she identifies the region as an erstwhile residential district. Yet though their fields may differ, Rurusha and Jude are no less impassioned to pursue their own angles of investigation. It seems someone must inform Theorizingway that the tour will continue a while longer. "
4,TEXT_KINGWZ404_05489_SEQ_04,"Rurusha, Jude, and Hinageshi return to the Timberlodge with full many thoughts regarding Auxesia. It wasn't until she arrived that Rurusha fully grasped the city's magnitude, but as she explains it, the inspired feelings of awe and wonder have made her feel like a fledgling researcher all over again. Hinageshi, too, is grateful to have had this experience, as she suspects there could be many and more civilizations lurking just under the surface of the ruins, and the thought is an energizing one for her future research. As for Jude, he expresses his amazement at setting foot upon a star he personally helped to locate. His mind turns to the possibility of similar stars with slumbering populations, and it is a newfound appreciation for that passion toward the unknown which he shall take home with him. The field of interstellar studies has come a long way, and so Rurusha proposes a meeting with Debroye and Professor T'laqa to discuss the potential of a new faculty at the Studium─one which will surely attract eager academics from every subject under the sun."

49,TEXT_KINGWZ404_05489_THEORIZINGWAY_000_002,"In light of the initiative's progress, I've cleverly deduced that a tour of Auxesia shall offer enhanced educational value."
50,TEXT_KINGWZ404_05489_THEORIZINGWAY_000_003,"And since everyone but me is woefully behind the times, I don't doubt they'll wish to hear of your exploratory exploits as well."
51,TEXT_KINGWZ404_05489_THEORIZINGWAY_000_004,"Thus, I've seen fit to send invitations anew to all those previously unable to attend. Would you receive them with me?"
52,TEXT_KINGWZ404_05489_RURUSHA_000_005,"Hello there, Theorizingway─and Player as well! Thank you ever so much for the kind invitation."
53,TEXT_KINGWZ404_05489_RURUSHA_000_006,"Interstellar studies has opened many a new door, you see. After decades of digging in the earth, any archaeologist would jump at the chance to soar amid the stars. "
54,TEXT_KINGWZ404_05489_RURUSHA_000_007,"We may not assist the initiative directly, but if what dear Qih Aliapoh relayed to me is any indication, I expect this tour to be no less valuable than the last."
55,TEXT_KINGWZ404_05489_RURUSHA_000_008,"To that end, I've brought these two along with me!"
56,TEXT_KINGWZ404_05489_JUDE_000_009,"We meet again, Player! In recognition of my starlens research, I was recruited to the Phaenna Stellascope analysis team alongside Jeromere."
57,TEXT_KINGWZ404_05489_JUDE_000_010,"...As aides to the *actual* researchers, mind. Even so, it was an honor to witness the discovery of a new star."
58,TEXT_KINGWZ404_05489_JUDE_000_011,"And now I've personally set foot upon it... While my partner in astronomy holds the fort back home, I intend to learn as much as I can!"
59,TEXT_KINGWZ404_05489_HINAGESHI_000_012,"It's good to see you again, Player. When I heard tell of an interstellar city, I never imagined something so well preserved!"
60,TEXT_KINGWZ404_05489_HINAGESHI_000_013,"Dylise's many accomplishments, however, come as less of a surprise. When we studied anthropology together, she was always relentless."
61,TEXT_KINGWZ404_05489_HINAGESHI_000_014,"Speaking of which, Professor Tankin expects a full report of the tour─not that he needed to ask. As if I would return with naught but a bouquet of xeno-roses! But do tell if you've seen any particularly charming flora..."
62,TEXT_KINGWZ404_05489_THEORIZINGWAY_000_015,"In my infinite wisdom, I've already seen to the necessary arrangements. Professor Rurusha, you are free to guide your group as you see fit."
63,TEXT_KINGWZ404_05489_THEORIZINGWAY_000_016,"However, few have greater firsthand experience in the field than our very own Player Player."
64,TEXT_KINGWZ404_05489_THEORIZINGWAY_000_017,Might you reprise your role as tour supervisor and provider of personal anecdotes?
65,TEXT_KINGWZ404_05489_HINAGESHI_000_018,"Oh, please do. You've doubtless learned much of Auxesian civilization that will be of use in contextualizing our discoveries."
66,TEXT_KINGWZ404_05489_JUDE_000_019,"As they excelled in matters arcane, I suspect their technology may offer inspiration for my research. Let's begin at the Rooting Towerling, shall we?"
67,TEXT_KINGWZ404_05489_THEORIZINGWAY_000_020,Our Studium guests have departed for the Rooting Towerling. Go and attend to their questions while I contemplate matters of greater import.
68,TEXT_KINGWZ404_05489_HINAGESHI_000_030,"So the whole thing is one giant control terminal? Goodness, where do I start...?"
69,TEXT_KINGWZ404_05489_RURUSHA_000_031,"I hear Auxesia was buried in greenery before the crew came. Arduous though it must have been, it warms an old woman's heart to see such meticulous restoration."
70,TEXT_KINGWZ404_05489_JUDE_000_032,"You know, Player, what interests me most about Auxesia is its aetheric control system."
71,TEXT_KINGWZ404_05489_JUDE_000_033,"While assisting the Stellascope team, Jeromere and I made practical use of our starlens to analyze the ambient aether of each candidate."
72,TEXT_KINGWZ404_05489_JUDE_000_034,"In so doing, we learned which specific traits denoted suitability for exploration. In that regard, even static images made apparent that Oizys was unique."
73,TEXT_KINGWZ404_05489_JUDE_000_035,"But Auxesia's is the strongest signature by far. And I daresay that the central mechanism controlling the flow of all that aether throughout the city is none other than this tree─er, tower?"
74,TEXT_KINGWZ404_05489_Q1_000_000,What will you say?
75,TEXT_KINGWZ404_05489_A1_000_001,Tree and tower all in one. That's the beauty of arcane manipulation.
76,TEXT_KINGWZ404_05489_A1_000_002,It's a pillar of the trunk network spanning the star.
77,TEXT_KINGWZ404_05489_JUDE_000_037,To think this landmark was carefully cultivated to engineer an aetheric confluence...and on so great a scale as to be visible from another star!
78,TEXT_KINGWZ404_05489_RURUSHA_000_038,That is precisely what I find so fascinating about the Nagylvi. They harnessed the forces of nature itself to build and operate their self-sustaining city!
79,TEXT_KINGWZ404_05489_RURUSHA_000_039,Professor Namono and I thought to contribute decryption technology based on the aetherial conversion processes we observed in working with the Golden Dhyata.
80,TEXT_KINGWZ404_05489_RURUSHA_000_040,Thus far I hear it's been used to analyze information obtained from ancient ruins upon Auxesia and Oizys both. Quite the novel application.
81,TEXT_KINGWZ404_05489_RURUSHA_000_041,"If we could interpret messages not only from the inhabitants but the very star itself, the initiative would make bountiful strides!"
82,TEXT_KINGWZ404_05489_JUDE_000_042,"Indeed, I'm honored beyond words that our individual research efforts have contributed so much!"
83,TEXT_KINGWZ404_05489_HINAGESHI_000_043,"Next, what say we take a stroll through New Growth City? I should like to conduct a thorough examination from an anthropologist's perspective!"
84,TEXT_KINGWZ404_05489_THEORIZINGWAY_000_049,"I hear the Studium visitors have moved on to New Growth City. You *are* keeping an eye on them, yes?"
85,TEXT_KINGWZ404_05489_JUDE_000_050,"Judging from the structures, this civilization was perhaps more advanced than even our own! Oh, Jeromere, the professor was heartless to keep you..."
86,TEXT_KINGWZ404_05489_RURUSHA_000_051,"This city is remarkably well preserved, given it lay dormant for so many thousands of years. How I wish Boric were here to see it!"
87,TEXT_KINGWZ404_05489_HINAGESHI_000_052,"Wait, don't tell me. I believe I've ascertained the purpose of this place at a single glance."
88,TEXT_KINGWZ404_05489_HINAGESHI_100_052,"The stark difference in architectural design, as well as the distance from the central facilities, indicates that this was once the residential district!"
89,TEXT_KINGWZ404_05489_HINAGESHI_000_053,"Specifically the resemblance to greenhouses, afforded by the resin glass windows, makes abundantly clear that this region was reserved for relaxation."
90,TEXT_KINGWZ404_05489_HINAGESHI_000_054,"As for the cultural implications of these relics, I must remember to ask Dylise for her thoughts... Oooh, my curiosity is positively piqued!"
91,TEXT_KINGWZ404_05489_HINAGESHI_000_055,"Come now, Player. Lest you forget, my heart beats not only for the professor, but by dint of a love for anthropology that well predates our association."
92,TEXT_KINGWZ404_05489_RURUSHA_000_056,Ho ho! It's only natural for a scholar's passions to ignite in the field. I daresay this tour has brought out the very best in our dear Hinageshi...and perhaps myself.
93,TEXT_KINGWZ404_05489_RURUSHA_000_057,"Indeed, ruins like these are where the sister fields of archaeology and anthropology come together. As the interiors appear intact, I should like to establish a detailed chronology..."
94,TEXT_KINGWZ404_05489_JUDE_000_058,"Ah, but astronomy has a part to play as well! How did the city's aether circuitry serve its people? If only Jeromere were here to offer his informed opinion..."
95,TEXT_KINGWZ404_05489_HINAGESHI_000_063,"Doubtless there will be further opportunities for him. Upon our return to the Studium, Professor Tankin and I will endeavor to reproduce the most significant elements of the Nagylvi's heritage."
96,TEXT_KINGWZ404_05489_RURUSHA_000_059,"Until then, we've much and more to examine. Player, will you inform Theorizingway that we'll report back once we've finished?"
97,TEXT_KINGWZ404_05489_RURUSHA_000_060,"I know Theorizingway is expecting us, but we shall need a bit more time to document everything. Do let them know we won't be long."
98,TEXT_KINGWZ404_05489_HINAGESHI_000_061,"Were Professor Tankin not preparing for a conference, I would have liked to hear his thoughts on this..."
99,TEXT_KINGWZ404_05489_HINAGESHI_100_061,"On the bright side, the heart-shaped plant I found will make the perfect gift─I mean, research specimen!"
100,TEXT_KINGWZ404_05489_JUDE_000_062,"I dabble in archaeology and anthropology myself, but my studies stand to benefit from the perspectives of proper experts. Even Jeromere will be jealous!"
101,TEXT_KINGWZ404_05489_THEORIZINGWAY_000_070,"Ah, Player. The tour continues, I presume? Then let us await their return."
102,TEXT_KINGWZ404_05489_THEORIZINGWAY_000_071,"Welcome back, everyone! Tell me, how do you find Auxesia?"
103,TEXT_KINGWZ404_05489_RURUSHA_000_072,"Oh, it's been fascinating─the sheer scale of the city! Those Stellascope images didn't do it justice!"
104,TEXT_KINGWZ404_05489_RURUSHA_000_073,"But here and now, with every small step I take, it feels as though I can hear the footsteps of ages past. "
105,TEXT_KINGWZ404_05489_RURUSHA_000_074,"Such sentiments are the bedrock for a fledgling researcher's first foray into archaeology, and indeed a welcome reminder of my own halcyon days."
106,TEXT_KINGWZ404_05489_HINAGESHI_000_075,"Likewise, though the Faculty of Anthropology has played only an assisting role in Dylise's work, I'm no less grateful for this opportunity."
107,TEXT_KINGWZ404_05489_HINAGESHI_000_076,"Doubtless these ruins are but a fraction of the star's history. From what we've seen on Etheirys, countless more civilizations could be buried underneath!"
108,TEXT_KINGWZ404_05489_HINAGESHI_000_077,"Suffice to say I shall return to my research refreshed and renewed─so much so, poor Professor Tankin may not even recognize me!"
109,TEXT_KINGWZ404_05489_JUDE_000_078,"As for me...though I previously journeyed as far as Phaenna, 'tis surreal nevertheless to stand upon a star I myself played a small part in discovering."
110,TEXT_KINGWZ404_05489_JUDE_000_079,"And when I look at the night sky, I think...there could be more civilizations like the Nagylvi out there."
111,TEXT_KINGWZ404_05489_JUDE_000_080,"This visit has opened my eyes to what matters most for my research: a yearning for what lies beyond the firmament. I promise, I won't soon forget it!"
112,TEXT_KINGWZ404_05489_THEORIZINGWAY_000_081,"Good, good! Nothing pleases me more than to hear your excursion has been fruitful."
113,TEXT_KINGWZ404_05489_THEORIZINGWAY_000_082,"With each new star explored, the field of interstellar studies has made leaps and bounds."
114,TEXT_KINGWZ404_05489_THEORIZINGWAY_000_083,Yet it will surely have need of capable researchers like young Jude here to develop its true potential!
115,TEXT_KINGWZ404_05489_RURUSHA_000_084,Then it sounds like we ought to meet with Debroye and Professor T'laqa and discuss establishing an office for a new Faculty of Cosmology.
116,TEXT_KINGWZ404_05489_JUDE_000_085,That sounds magnificent! I imagine such an exciting new discipline will draw scholars from all different fields─my own especially!
117,TEXT_KINGWZ404_05489_HINAGESHI_000_086,Yearning for the great beyond has ever been a romantic's purview. And that is a conviction both Professor Tankin and I share.
118,TEXT_KINGWZ404_05489_SEARCHINGWAY_000_087,"Well, if it isn't my friends Hinageshi, Jude, and Professor Rurusha! Have you been enjoying the sights here on Auxesia?"
119,TEXT_KINGWZ404_05489_RURUSHA_000_088,"Ah, Searchingway! It's been far too long, my dear!"
120,TEXT_KINGWZ404_05489_HINAGESHI_000_089,That reminds me─Qih Aliapoh mentioned the vital importance of touching a Loporrit's ears at least once for posterity! If you don't mind...
121,TEXT_KINGWZ404_05489_SEARCHINGWAY_000_090,Since when were my ears part of the hands-on experience!?

49 48 TEXT_KINGWZ404_05489_THEORIZINGWAY_000_001 Ah, if it isn't young Player! Recall you the visitation of certain Studium members back on Oizys?
50 49 TEXT_KINGWZ404_05489_THEORIZINGWAY_000_002 In light of the initiative's progress, I've cleverly deduced that a tour of Auxesia shall offer enhanced educational value.
51 50 TEXT_KINGWZ404_05489_THEORIZINGWAY_000_003 And since everyone but me is woefully behind the times, I don't doubt they'll wish to hear of your exploratory exploits as well.
52 51 TEXT_KINGWZ404_05489_THEORIZINGWAY_000_004 Thus, I've seen fit to send invitations anew to all those previously unable to attend. Would you receive them with me?
53 52 TEXT_KINGWZ404_05489_RURUSHA_000_005 Hello there, Theorizingway─and Player as well! Thank you ever so much for the kind invitation.
54 53 TEXT_KINGWZ404_05489_RURUSHA_000_006 Interstellar studies has opened many a new door, you see. After decades of digging in the earth, any archaeologist would jump at the chance to soar amid the stars.
55 54 TEXT_KINGWZ404_05489_RURUSHA_000_007 We may not assist the initiative directly, but if what dear Qih Aliapoh relayed to me is any indication, I expect this tour to be no less valuable than the last.
56 55 TEXT_KINGWZ404_05489_RURUSHA_000_008 To that end, I've brought these two along with me!
57 56 TEXT_KINGWZ404_05489_JUDE_000_009 We meet again, Player! In recognition of my starlens research, I was recruited to the Phaenna Stellascope analysis team alongside Jeromere.
58 57 TEXT_KINGWZ404_05489_JUDE_000_010 ...As aides to the *actual* researchers, mind. Even so, it was an honor to witness the discovery of a new star.
59 58 TEXT_KINGWZ404_05489_JUDE_000_011 And now I've personally set foot upon it... While my partner in astronomy holds the fort back home, I intend to learn as much as I can!
60 59 TEXT_KINGWZ404_05489_HINAGESHI_000_012 It's good to see you again, Player. When I heard tell of an interstellar city, I never imagined something so well preserved!
61 60 TEXT_KINGWZ404_05489_HINAGESHI_000_013 Dylise's many accomplishments, however, come as less of a surprise. When we studied anthropology together, she was always relentless.
62 61 TEXT_KINGWZ404_05489_HINAGESHI_000_014 Speaking of which, Professor Tankin expects a full report of the tour─not that he needed to ask. As if I would return with naught but a bouquet of xeno-roses! But do tell if you've seen any particularly charming flora...
63 62 TEXT_KINGWZ404_05489_THEORIZINGWAY_000_015 In my infinite wisdom, I've already seen to the necessary arrangements. Professor Rurusha, you are free to guide your group as you see fit.
64 63 TEXT_KINGWZ404_05489_THEORIZINGWAY_000_016 However, few have greater firsthand experience in the field than our very own Player Player.
65 64 TEXT_KINGWZ404_05489_THEORIZINGWAY_000_017 Might you reprise your role as tour supervisor and provider of personal anecdotes?
66 65 TEXT_KINGWZ404_05489_HINAGESHI_000_018 Oh, please do. You've doubtless learned much of Auxesian civilization that will be of use in contextualizing our discoveries.
67 66 TEXT_KINGWZ404_05489_JUDE_000_019 As they excelled in matters arcane, I suspect their technology may offer inspiration for my research. Let's begin at the Rooting Towerling, shall we?
68 67 TEXT_KINGWZ404_05489_THEORIZINGWAY_000_020 Our Studium guests have departed for the Rooting Towerling. Go and attend to their questions while I contemplate matters of greater import.
69 68 TEXT_KINGWZ404_05489_HINAGESHI_000_030 So the whole thing is one giant control terminal? Goodness, where do I start...?
70 69 TEXT_KINGWZ404_05489_RURUSHA_000_031 I hear Auxesia was buried in greenery before the crew came. Arduous though it must have been, it warms an old woman's heart to see such meticulous restoration.
71 70 TEXT_KINGWZ404_05489_JUDE_000_032 You know, Player, what interests me most about Auxesia is its aetheric control system.
72 71 TEXT_KINGWZ404_05489_JUDE_000_033 While assisting the Stellascope team, Jeromere and I made practical use of our starlens to analyze the ambient aether of each candidate.
73 72 TEXT_KINGWZ404_05489_JUDE_000_034 In so doing, we learned which specific traits denoted suitability for exploration. In that regard, even static images made apparent that Oizys was unique.
74 73 TEXT_KINGWZ404_05489_JUDE_000_035 But Auxesia's is the strongest signature by far. And I daresay that the central mechanism controlling the flow of all that aether throughout the city is none other than this tree─er, tower?
75 74 TEXT_KINGWZ404_05489_Q1_000_000 What will you say?
76 75 TEXT_KINGWZ404_05489_A1_000_001 Tree and tower all in one. That's the beauty of arcane manipulation.
77 76 TEXT_KINGWZ404_05489_A1_000_002 It's a pillar of the trunk network spanning the star.
78 77 TEXT_KINGWZ404_05489_JUDE_000_037 To think this landmark was carefully cultivated to engineer an aetheric confluence...and on so great a scale as to be visible from another star!
79 78 TEXT_KINGWZ404_05489_RURUSHA_000_038 That is precisely what I find so fascinating about the Nagylvi. They harnessed the forces of nature itself to build and operate their self-sustaining city!
80 79 TEXT_KINGWZ404_05489_RURUSHA_000_039 Professor Namono and I thought to contribute decryption technology based on the aetherial conversion processes we observed in working with the Golden Dhyata.
81 80 TEXT_KINGWZ404_05489_RURUSHA_000_040 Thus far I hear it's been used to analyze information obtained from ancient ruins upon Auxesia and Oizys both. Quite the novel application.
82 81 TEXT_KINGWZ404_05489_RURUSHA_000_041 If we could interpret messages not only from the inhabitants but the very star itself, the initiative would make bountiful strides!
83 82 TEXT_KINGWZ404_05489_JUDE_000_042 Indeed, I'm honored beyond words that our individual research efforts have contributed so much!
84 83 TEXT_KINGWZ404_05489_HINAGESHI_000_043 Next, what say we take a stroll through New Growth City? I should like to conduct a thorough examination from an anthropologist's perspective!
85 84 TEXT_KINGWZ404_05489_THEORIZINGWAY_000_049 I hear the Studium visitors have moved on to New Growth City. You *are* keeping an eye on them, yes?
86 85 TEXT_KINGWZ404_05489_JUDE_000_050 Judging from the structures, this civilization was perhaps more advanced than even our own! Oh, Jeromere, the professor was heartless to keep you...
87 86 TEXT_KINGWZ404_05489_RURUSHA_000_051 This city is remarkably well preserved, given it lay dormant for so many thousands of years. How I wish Boric were here to see it!
88 87 TEXT_KINGWZ404_05489_HINAGESHI_000_052 Wait, don't tell me. I believe I've ascertained the purpose of this place at a single glance.
89 88 TEXT_KINGWZ404_05489_HINAGESHI_100_052 The stark difference in architectural design, as well as the distance from the central facilities, indicates that this was once the residential district!
90 89 TEXT_KINGWZ404_05489_HINAGESHI_000_053 Specifically the resemblance to greenhouses, afforded by the resin glass windows, makes abundantly clear that this region was reserved for relaxation.
91 90 TEXT_KINGWZ404_05489_HINAGESHI_000_054 As for the cultural implications of these relics, I must remember to ask Dylise for her thoughts... Oooh, my curiosity is positively piqued!
92 91 TEXT_KINGWZ404_05489_HINAGESHI_000_055 Come now, Player. Lest you forget, my heart beats not only for the professor, but by dint of a love for anthropology that well predates our association.
93 92 TEXT_KINGWZ404_05489_RURUSHA_000_056 Ho ho! It's only natural for a scholar's passions to ignite in the field. I daresay this tour has brought out the very best in our dear Hinageshi...and perhaps myself.
94 93 TEXT_KINGWZ404_05489_RURUSHA_000_057 Indeed, ruins like these are where the sister fields of archaeology and anthropology come together. As the interiors appear intact, I should like to establish a detailed chronology...
95 94 TEXT_KINGWZ404_05489_JUDE_000_058 Ah, but astronomy has a part to play as well! How did the city's aether circuitry serve its people? If only Jeromere were here to offer his informed opinion...
96 95 TEXT_KINGWZ404_05489_HINAGESHI_000_063 Doubtless there will be further opportunities for him. Upon our return to the Studium, Professor Tankin and I will endeavor to reproduce the most significant elements of the Nagylvi's heritage.
97 96 TEXT_KINGWZ404_05489_RURUSHA_000_059 Until then, we've much and more to examine. Player, will you inform Theorizingway that we'll report back once we've finished?
98 97 TEXT_KINGWZ404_05489_RURUSHA_000_060 I know Theorizingway is expecting us, but we shall need a bit more time to document everything. Do let them know we won't be long.
99 98 TEXT_KINGWZ404_05489_HINAGESHI_000_061 Were Professor Tankin not preparing for a conference, I would have liked to hear his thoughts on this...
100 99 TEXT_KINGWZ404_05489_HINAGESHI_100_061 On the bright side, the heart-shaped plant I found will make the perfect gift─I mean, research specimen!
101 100 TEXT_KINGWZ404_05489_JUDE_000_062 I dabble in archaeology and anthropology myself, but my studies stand to benefit from the perspectives of proper experts. Even Jeromere will be jealous!
102 101 TEXT_KINGWZ404_05489_THEORIZINGWAY_000_070 Ah, Player. The tour continues, I presume? Then let us await their return.
103 102 TEXT_KINGWZ404_05489_THEORIZINGWAY_000_071 Welcome back, everyone! Tell me, how do you find Auxesia?
104 103 TEXT_KINGWZ404_05489_RURUSHA_000_072 Oh, it's been fascinating─the sheer scale of the city! Those Stellascope images didn't do it justice!
105 104 TEXT_KINGWZ404_05489_RURUSHA_000_073 But here and now, with every small step I take, it feels as though I can hear the footsteps of ages past.
106 105 TEXT_KINGWZ404_05489_RURUSHA_000_074 Such sentiments are the bedrock for a fledgling researcher's first foray into archaeology, and indeed a welcome reminder of my own halcyon days.
107 106 TEXT_KINGWZ404_05489_HINAGESHI_000_075 Likewise, though the Faculty of Anthropology has played only an assisting role in Dylise's work, I'm no less grateful for this opportunity.
108 107 TEXT_KINGWZ404_05489_HINAGESHI_000_076 Doubtless these ruins are but a fraction of the star's history. From what we've seen on Etheirys, countless more civilizations could be buried underneath!
109 108 TEXT_KINGWZ404_05489_HINAGESHI_000_077 Suffice to say I shall return to my research refreshed and renewed─so much so, poor Professor Tankin may not even recognize me!
110 109 TEXT_KINGWZ404_05489_JUDE_000_078 As for me...though I previously journeyed as far as Phaenna, 'tis surreal nevertheless to stand upon a star I myself played a small part in discovering.
111 110 TEXT_KINGWZ404_05489_JUDE_000_079 And when I look at the night sky, I think...there could be more civilizations like the Nagylvi out there.
112 111 TEXT_KINGWZ404_05489_JUDE_000_080 This visit has opened my eyes to what matters most for my research: a yearning for what lies beyond the firmament. I promise, I won't soon forget it!
113 112 TEXT_KINGWZ404_05489_THEORIZINGWAY_000_081 Good, good! Nothing pleases me more than to hear your excursion has been fruitful.
114 113 TEXT_KINGWZ404_05489_THEORIZINGWAY_000_082 With each new star explored, the field of interstellar studies has made leaps and bounds.
115 114 TEXT_KINGWZ404_05489_THEORIZINGWAY_000_083 Yet it will surely have need of capable researchers like young Jude here to develop its true potential!
116 115 TEXT_KINGWZ404_05489_RURUSHA_000_084 Then it sounds like we ought to meet with Debroye and Professor T'laqa and discuss establishing an office for a new Faculty of Cosmology.
117 116 TEXT_KINGWZ404_05489_JUDE_000_085 That sounds magnificent! I imagine such an exciting new discipline will draw scholars from all different fields─my own especially!
118 117 TEXT_KINGWZ404_05489_HINAGESHI_000_086 Yearning for the great beyond has ever been a romantic's purview. And that is a conviction both Professor Tankin and I share.
119 118 TEXT_KINGWZ404_05489_SEARCHINGWAY_000_087 Well, if it isn't my friends Hinageshi, Jude, and Professor Rurusha! Have you been enjoying the sights here on Auxesia?
120 119 TEXT_KINGWZ404_05489_RURUSHA_000_088 Ah, Searchingway! It's been far too long, my dear!
121 120 TEXT_KINGWZ404_05489_HINAGESHI_000_089 That reminds me─Qih Aliapoh mentioned the vital importance of touching a Loporrit's ears at least once for posterity! If you don't mind...
122 121 TEXT_KINGWZ404_05489_SEARCHINGWAY_000_090 Since when were my ears part of the hands-on experience!?
