53,"TEXT_KINGMD120_04931_NOSTALGIA_000_006","If it's any consolation, this is all rather confusing to us as well."

55,"TEXT_KINGMD120_04931_CAHCIUA_000_008","Come, come, make yourselves comfortable!"
56,"TEXT_KINGMD120_04931_ERENVILLE_000_009","<sigh> Let's hear what she has to say."
57,"TEXT_KINGMD120_04931_CAHCIUA000_000_010","It's so wonderful to meet you all."
58,"TEXT_KINGMD120_04931_CAHCIUA_000_011","And the Students of Baldesion... It's been a while since I heard that name."
59,"TEXT_KINGMD120_04931_ERENVILLE_000_012","Dare I ask the reason for your appearance?"
60,"TEXT_KINGMD120_04931_CAHCIUA_000_013","Oh, this? It's just a body that I control remotely. I use this for our operations."
61,"TEXT_KINGMD120_04931_CAHCIUA_000_014","We're members of a resistance organization─Oblivion, we call ourselves, and our goal is to thwart Zoraal Ja's ambitions for conquest."
62,"TEXT_KINGMD120_04931_CAHCIUA_000_015","As the leader, it's prudent that I remain where I can't be easily found."
63,"TEXT_KINGMD120_04931_ALISAIE_000_016","I see. Whimsical appearances notwithstanding, yours is a serious cause."
64,"TEXT_KINGMD120_04931_CAHCIUA_000_017","Right you are. Though truth be told, Oblivion was founded for an altogether different purpose."
65,"TEXT_KINGMD120_04931_GRAHATIA_000_018","And that is? "
66,"TEXT_KINGMD120_04931_CAHCIUA_000_019","As I expect you've already noticed, everything you see within this dome─the buildings, the people, the very earth beneath our feet─is a fusion of two worlds."
67,"TEXT_KINGMD120_04931_CAHCIUA_000_020","Stopping such a fusion was Oblivion's original mission."
68,"TEXT_KINGMD120_04931_KRILE_000_021","Then does that mean you know who or what is responsible for it?"
69,"TEXT_KINGMD120_04931_CAHCIUA_000_022","I'm afraid not. This was a long time ago, and our mission statement has become more of a legend that's passed down to members. By the time we joined, our sole objective was stopping Zoraal Ja."
70,"TEXT_KINGMD120_04931_CAHCIUA_000_023","But we failed to do that. And now he's taken his army outside the dome..."
71,"TEXT_KINGMD120_04931_WUKLAMAT_000_024","None of you wear those strange devices on your heads. Does that have something to do with your work?"
72,"TEXT_KINGMD120_04931_CAHCIUA_000_025","You mean this?"
73,"TEXT_KINGMD120_04931_CAHCIUA_000_026","It's a regulator, the pinnacle of electrope technology. And that we don't wear it is indeed related to our operations."
74,"TEXT_KINGMD120_04931_GRAHATIA_000_027","What exactly does it do?"
75,"TEXT_KINGMD120_04931_GEODE_000_028","Allow me to explain."
76,"TEXT_KINGMD120_04931_GEODE_000_029","Regulators have two primary functions."
77,"TEXT_KINGMD120_04931_GEODE_000_030","The first, as the name suggests, is the regulation of the wearer's reserve of souls. Should they die, the regulator expends a soul to bring them back to life."
78,"TEXT_KINGMD120_04931_ALISAIE_000_031","“Reserve”? You mean people walk around carrying spare souls!?"
79,"TEXT_KINGMD120_04931_GEODE_000_032","They do. Souls are packaged in cells, and they can be used to replenish the life force that is lost due to sudden death, such as in accidents. They do nothing for those who die of old age, though."
80,"TEXT_KINGMD120_04931_GEODE_000_033","Distribution of soul cells is based on one's work evaluation. To encourage “exemplary performance” when fulfilling their duties."
81,"TEXT_KINGMD120_04931_ALISAIE_000_034","Souls as a common resource...and payment for services rendered..."
82,"TEXT_KINGMD120_04931_GRAHATIA_000_035","The voidsent practice of consuming others for their aether comes to mind. And similarly, I expect that the act comes with some risk."
83,"TEXT_KINGMD120_04931_Q1_000_036","What will you say?"
84,"TEXT_KINGMD120_04931_A1_000_037","Doesn't it dilute your sense of self?"
85,"TEXT_KINGMD120_04931_A1_000_038","Wouldn't the consciousness of others corrupt your own?"
86,"TEXT_KINGMD120_04931_GEODE_000_039","That is prevented through memory management, a process in which regulators also play a role."
87,"TEXT_KINGMD120_04931_KRILE_000_040","Memory management? Then the reason everyone has forgotten Namikka's existence..."
88,"TEXT_KINGMD120_04931_GEODE_000_041","The regulators are constantly recording the memories of their wearer, so if they should suddenly die, their memories can be refreshed as part of the restoration process."
89,"TEXT_KINGMD120_04931_GEODE_000_042","This is how they preserve one's identity and sense of self. However, the regulators are also triggered when someone else dies."
90,"TEXT_KINGMD120_04931_GEODE_000_043","Reason being is that regulators forcibly extract memories relating to the deceased from anyone wearing one."
91,"TEXT_KINGMD120_04931_ALISAIE_000_044","Why would they do such a thing?"
92,"TEXT_KINGMD120_04931_CAHCIUA_000_045","It's a “kindness” bestowed upon the people by Everkeep's core system, so that no one has to suffer the pain of loss."
93,"TEXT_KINGMD120_04931_KRILE_000_046","So this is what is meant by their memories being in the cloud."
94,"TEXT_KINGMD120_04931_GEODE_000_047","Indeed. All memories of the deceased are wiped from the minds of the people and archived in the system."
95,"TEXT_KINGMD120_04931_GEODE_000_048","It's a frightening function of the regulators─and an integral step in soul cell production."
96,"TEXT_KINGMD120_04931_GEODE_000_049","You see, when a person dies of natural causes, their soul is temporarily housed within the regulator."
97,"TEXT_KINGMD120_04931_GEODE_000_050","It's then delivered to a facility where memories are separated from the soul."
98,"TEXT_KINGMD120_04931_GEODE_000_051","The result is a fresh soul cell, free of impurities, ready for distribution and consumption."
99,"TEXT_KINGMD120_04931_CAHCIUA_000_052","Meanwhile, the memories are stored in the core system. To be “remembered” forever."
100,"TEXT_KINGMD120_04931_ALISAIE_000_053","And this is why people are happy here? On its surface, it's similar to the Yok Huy philosophy, but I see nothing noble or comforting in it..."
101,"TEXT_KINGMD120_04931_GEODE_000_054","Well, it doesn't seem so terrible to me personally. All comes down to what you're used to, I suppose."
102,"TEXT_KINGMD120_04931_GEODE_000_055","Like the barrier encasing Alexandria, this system was created to overcome the calamity that transformed the world hundreds of years ago."
103,"TEXT_KINGMD120_04931_GEODE_000_056","Amidst the mounting death toll, scientists used electrope to devise a means to save what lives they could so that the nation could endure."
104,"TEXT_KINGMD120_04931_WUKLAMAT_000_057","I understand the people of Alexandria did what they believed was best to save their people. I just find it hard to believe the Turali would also accept this way of living."
105,"TEXT_KINGMD120_04931_CAHCIUA_000_058","It came as a shock to us as well. In fact, a great many were opposed to it."
106,"TEXT_KINGMD120_04931_CAHCIUA_000_059","Which is why the use of regulators was never compulsory. The people have always been free to go without them if they so wish."
107,"TEXT_KINGMD120_04931_WUKLAMAT_000_060","Sphene didn't strike me as the sort of ruler to impose her will on others."
108,"TEXT_KINGMD120_04931_CAHCIUA_000_061","Ah, so you've already met?"
109,"TEXT_KINGMD120_04931_ERENVILLE_000_062","She's the one who suggested we come to the Thunderyards in the first place. She also said she wants to help us stop Zoraal Ja."
110,"TEXT_KINGMD120_04931_CAHCIUA_000_063","Awfully kind of her to point you in my direction. And to speak so candidly as well..."
111,"TEXT_KINGMD120_04931_CAHCIUA_000_064","Whatever her motives, she has given the people a choice: live with the risk of true death, or the security of the regulators."
112,"TEXT_KINGMD120_04931_ERENVILLE_000_065","Everything that lives must someday die. That is the natural order of things."
113,"TEXT_KINGMD120_04931_CAHCIUA_000_066","Quite right... But however you feel about them, it would be easier to understand what the regulators are capable of if you saw it for yourself."
114,"TEXT_KINGMD120_04931_CAHCIUA_000_067","I know just the person to show you, and as luck would have it, they should be starting work right about now."
115,"TEXT_KINGMD120_04931_WUKLAMAT_000_068","Who are we going to see, exactly?"
116,"TEXT_KINGMD120_04931_CAHCIUA_000_069","Come with me and you'll find out."
117,"TEXT_KINGMD120_04931_WUKLAMAT_000_074","So those regulators are to blame for everyone forgetting Namikka. For forgetting what a wonderful person she was..."
118,"TEXT_KINGMD120_04931_ALISAIE_000_075","I'm sorry, but I just can't accept the idea of using souls as a resource."
119,"TEXT_KINGMD120_04931_KRILE_000_076","We're to see how the regulators work, but how?"
120,"TEXT_KINGMD120_04931_GRAHATIA_000_077","To alter the memories of the populace with such precision is no small feat."
121,"TEXT_KINGMD120_04931_ERENVILLE_000_078","What does she intend to show us?"
122,"TEXT_KINGMD120_04931_CAHCIUA_000_080","Everyone here? Good."
123,"TEXT_KINGMD120_04931_CAHCIUA_000_081","It is the responsibility of the Thunderyard's hunters to fell any fiends found wandering the area."
124,"TEXT_KINGMD120_04931_CAHCIUA_000_082","We're to meet an acquaintance of mine, Strika, one of these hunters."
125,"TEXT_KINGMD120_04931_WUKLAMAT_000_085","What do you think is in this box? I'm guessing food."
126,"TEXT_KINGMD120_04931_ALISAIE_000_086","Judging by its name, I take it this facility is for gathering lightning energy."
127,"TEXT_KINGMD120_04931_KRILE_000_087","Given the opportunity, I should very much like to study electrope on behalf of the Students."
128,"TEXT_KINGMD120_04931_GRAHATIA_000_088","While I am not blind to the potential benefits of these regulators, the risks inherent in giving another party the power to alter your memories cannot be overstated─never mind the ethical considerations of using souls in such a fashion."
129,"TEXT_KINGMD120_04931_ERENVILLE_000_089","Let's get this over with."
130,"TEXT_KINGMD120_04931_CAHCIUA_000_090","Strika will show you what life can be like wearing a regulator."
131,"TEXT_KINGMD120_04931_STRIKA_000_100","Cahciua? What are you doing here? And with so many friends."
132,"TEXT_KINGMD120_04931_CAHCIUA_000_101","Apologies for the interruption, but I was hoping they might observe you at work."
133,"TEXT_KINGMD120_04931_STRIKA_000_102","Hunting, you mean? That's fine, I guess..."
134,"TEXT_KINGMD120_04931_STRIKA_000_103","Hold on. I assumed they were wearing special regulators like Queen Sphene's crown, but they aren't wearing anything at all."
135,"TEXT_KINGMD120_04931_STRIKA_000_104","It's much too dangerous to be here without one. What if they're struck by lightning, or attacked by beasts?"
136,"TEXT_KINGMD120_04931_CAHCIUA_000_105","I can assure you they're all quite capable of looking after themselves. If anything should go amiss, I will take full responsibility."
137,"TEXT_KINGMD120_04931_STRIKA_000_106","Well, don't say I didn't warn you. Danger aside, there isn't really much to see."
138,"TEXT_KINGMD120_04931_WUKLAMAT_000_107","Cahciua said you're a hunter, but wouldn't it be easier for those mechanical soldiers to guard this place?"
139,"TEXT_KINGMD120_04931_STRIKA_000_108","It would, if not for the fact they're weak to lightning. The Thunderyard being what it is, they've been ordered to steer clear."
140,"TEXT_KINGMD120_04931_STRIKA_000_109","Some good they are, eh? But these facilities are vital to the upkeeping of Alexandria's infrastructure, so it falls to hunters like me to deal with any fiends."
141,"TEXT_KINGMD120_04931_STRIKA_000_110","Given the danger, we're well compensated for our work. It's a perfect profession for anyone looking to build up savings."
142,"TEXT_KINGMD120_04931_STRIKA_000_111","The special selection of souls for hunters isn't terrible either."
143,"TEXT_KINGMD120_04931_CAHCIUA_000_112","I brought this lot here to see this danger you speak of. If it's not too much trouble to ask."
144,"TEXT_KINGMD120_04931_STRIKA_000_113","Ah, of course. In which case, it'd be a shame to waste my efforts on just any old beast."
145,"TEXT_KINGMD120_04931_STRIKA_000_114","You all can handle yourselves in a fight, right? If you cause a ruckus slaying what critters you see nearby, there's a chance you'll draw out something worthy of a demonstration."
146,"TEXT_KINGMD120_04931_ALISAIE_000_115","I'm not sure I understand, but I suppose we should each slay what we can."
147,"TEXT_KINGMD120_04931_ERENVILLE_000_120","I'm afraid I must leave the fighting to you."
148,"TEXT_KINGMD120_04931_CAHCIUA_000_125","My fussy little bunbun was never any good at fighting, and this body of mine isn't suited to it either. We leave this work in your capable hands!"
149,"TEXT_KINGMD120_04931_CAHCIUA_STRIKA_000_130","This one'll do nicely."
150,"TEXT_KINGMD120_04931_ALISAIE_000_131","We'll help you!"
151,"TEXT_KINGMD120_04931_STRIKA_000_132","It's fine, really. I've faced worse. Just watch."
152,"TEXT_KINGMD120_04931_WUKLAMAT_000_133","I don't like the looks of this. Let us help!"
153,"TEXT_KINGMD120_04931_STRIKA_000_134","Oh no!"

158,"TEXT_KINGMD120_04931_STRIKA_000_139","That was embarrassing. The bastard caught me off guard."

160,"TEXT_KINGMD120_04931_STRIKA_000_141","I told you not to worry."
161,"TEXT_KINGMD120_04931_STRIKA_000_142","This will only take a moment."
162,"TEXT_KINGMD120_04931_WUKLAMAT_000_143","Just like Zoraal Ja..."
163,"TEXT_KINGMD120_04931_STRIKA_000_144","Come on, let's get out of here."
164,"TEXT_KINGMD120_04931_GRAHATIA_000_145","That's also a function of the regulator?"
165,"TEXT_KINGMD120_04931_WUKLAMAT_000_146","I think I understand now how Zoraal Ja was able to return from the dead and defeat Papa, but I'm not sure what we saw at the end there."
166,"TEXT_KINGMD120_04931_ALISAIE_000_147","As soon as the regulator turned red, it was as if you were possessed. Your movements became beast-like. "
167,"TEXT_KINGMD120_04931_GRAHATIA_000_148","Don't tell me...you empowered yourself with the soul of a beast? I'm reminded of the serpentine soldier we encountered at Vanguard who did the same..."
168,"TEXT_KINGMD120_04931_STRIKA_000_149","So you've crossed paths with one of the king's elite? Such a form can only be achieved from gorging yourself on souls."
169,"TEXT_KINGMD120_04931_STRIKA_000_150","We could do the same, in theory, but it's incredibly dangerous. Besides, it's not as if they'd allow hunters to carry that many souls to begin with."
170,"TEXT_KINGMD120_04931_STRIKA_000_151","Well, I should be getting back to work. Take care."
171,"TEXT_KINGMD120_04931_CAHCIUA_000_152","And there you have it. Regulators can be loaded with two kinds of souls, those of peoples and those of beasts."

53 49 TEXT_KINGMD120_04931_ALISAIE_000_002 Erenville's mother is a floating machine. Right─that makes about as much sense as everything else thus far.
54 50 TEXT_KINGMD120_04931_KRILE_000_003 At this point, I doubt anything could possibly surprise me.
55 51 TEXT_KINGMD120_04931_GRAHATIA_000_004 The Allagans had machines that could be controlled remotely. Is she using something similar to communicate with us?
56 52 TEXT_KINGMD120_04931_GEODE_000_005 Always too much excitement with her... Sorry for drawing our weapons on you.
57 53 TEXT_KINGMD120_04931_NOSTALGIA_000_006 If it's any consolation, this is all rather confusing to us as well.
58 54 TEXT_KINGMD120_04931_WAYAKKWE_000_007 Oh, uh...hello.
59 55 TEXT_KINGMD120_04931_CAHCIUA_000_008 Come, come, make yourselves comfortable!
60 56 TEXT_KINGMD120_04931_ERENVILLE_000_009 <sigh> Let's hear what she has to say.
61 57 TEXT_KINGMD120_04931_CAHCIUA000_000_010 It's so wonderful to meet you all.
62 58 TEXT_KINGMD120_04931_CAHCIUA_000_011 And the Students of Baldesion... It's been a while since I heard that name.
63 59 TEXT_KINGMD120_04931_ERENVILLE_000_012 Dare I ask the reason for your appearance?
64 60 TEXT_KINGMD120_04931_CAHCIUA_000_013 Oh, this? It's just a body that I control remotely. I use this for our operations.
65 61 TEXT_KINGMD120_04931_CAHCIUA_000_014 We're members of a resistance organization─Oblivion, we call ourselves, and our goal is to thwart Zoraal Ja's ambitions for conquest.
66 62 TEXT_KINGMD120_04931_CAHCIUA_000_015 As the leader, it's prudent that I remain where I can't be easily found.
67 63 TEXT_KINGMD120_04931_ALISAIE_000_016 I see. Whimsical appearances notwithstanding, yours is a serious cause.
68 64 TEXT_KINGMD120_04931_CAHCIUA_000_017 Right you are. Though truth be told, Oblivion was founded for an altogether different purpose.
69 65 TEXT_KINGMD120_04931_GRAHATIA_000_018 And that is?
70 66 TEXT_KINGMD120_04931_CAHCIUA_000_019 As I expect you've already noticed, everything you see within this dome─the buildings, the people, the very earth beneath our feet─is a fusion of two worlds.
71 67 TEXT_KINGMD120_04931_CAHCIUA_000_020 Stopping such a fusion was Oblivion's original mission.
72 68 TEXT_KINGMD120_04931_KRILE_000_021 Then does that mean you know who or what is responsible for it?
73 69 TEXT_KINGMD120_04931_CAHCIUA_000_022 I'm afraid not. This was a long time ago, and our mission statement has become more of a legend that's passed down to members. By the time we joined, our sole objective was stopping Zoraal Ja.
74 70 TEXT_KINGMD120_04931_CAHCIUA_000_023 But we failed to do that. And now he's taken his army outside the dome...
75 71 TEXT_KINGMD120_04931_WUKLAMAT_000_024 None of you wear those strange devices on your heads. Does that have something to do with your work?
76 72 TEXT_KINGMD120_04931_CAHCIUA_000_025 You mean this?
77 73 TEXT_KINGMD120_04931_CAHCIUA_000_026 It's a regulator, the pinnacle of electrope technology. And that we don't wear it is indeed related to our operations.
78 74 TEXT_KINGMD120_04931_GRAHATIA_000_027 What exactly does it do?
79 75 TEXT_KINGMD120_04931_GEODE_000_028 Allow me to explain.
80 76 TEXT_KINGMD120_04931_GEODE_000_029 Regulators have two primary functions.
81 77 TEXT_KINGMD120_04931_GEODE_000_030 The first, as the name suggests, is the regulation of the wearer's reserve of souls. Should they die, the regulator expends a soul to bring them back to life.
82 78 TEXT_KINGMD120_04931_ALISAIE_000_031 “Reserve”? You mean people walk around carrying spare souls!?
83 79 TEXT_KINGMD120_04931_GEODE_000_032 They do. Souls are packaged in cells, and they can be used to replenish the life force that is lost due to sudden death, such as in accidents. They do nothing for those who die of old age, though.
84 80 TEXT_KINGMD120_04931_GEODE_000_033 Distribution of soul cells is based on one's work evaluation. To encourage “exemplary performance” when fulfilling their duties.
85 81 TEXT_KINGMD120_04931_ALISAIE_000_034 Souls as a common resource...and payment for services rendered...
86 82 TEXT_KINGMD120_04931_GRAHATIA_000_035 The voidsent practice of consuming others for their aether comes to mind. And similarly, I expect that the act comes with some risk.
87 83 TEXT_KINGMD120_04931_Q1_000_036 What will you say?
88 84 TEXT_KINGMD120_04931_A1_000_037 Doesn't it dilute your sense of self?
89 85 TEXT_KINGMD120_04931_A1_000_038 Wouldn't the consciousness of others corrupt your own?
90 86 TEXT_KINGMD120_04931_GEODE_000_039 That is prevented through memory management, a process in which regulators also play a role.
91 87 TEXT_KINGMD120_04931_KRILE_000_040 Memory management? Then the reason everyone has forgotten Namikka's existence...
92 88 TEXT_KINGMD120_04931_GEODE_000_041 The regulators are constantly recording the memories of their wearer, so if they should suddenly die, their memories can be refreshed as part of the restoration process.
93 89 TEXT_KINGMD120_04931_GEODE_000_042 This is how they preserve one's identity and sense of self. However, the regulators are also triggered when someone else dies.
94 90 TEXT_KINGMD120_04931_GEODE_000_043 Reason being is that regulators forcibly extract memories relating to the deceased from anyone wearing one.
95 91 TEXT_KINGMD120_04931_ALISAIE_000_044 Why would they do such a thing?
96 92 TEXT_KINGMD120_04931_CAHCIUA_000_045 It's a “kindness” bestowed upon the people by Everkeep's core system, so that no one has to suffer the pain of loss.
97 93 TEXT_KINGMD120_04931_KRILE_000_046 So this is what is meant by their memories being in the cloud.
98 94 TEXT_KINGMD120_04931_GEODE_000_047 Indeed. All memories of the deceased are wiped from the minds of the people and archived in the system.
99 95 TEXT_KINGMD120_04931_GEODE_000_048 It's a frightening function of the regulators─and an integral step in soul cell production.
100 96 TEXT_KINGMD120_04931_GEODE_000_049 You see, when a person dies of natural causes, their soul is temporarily housed within the regulator.
101 97 TEXT_KINGMD120_04931_GEODE_000_050 It's then delivered to a facility where memories are separated from the soul.
102 98 TEXT_KINGMD120_04931_GEODE_000_051 The result is a fresh soul cell, free of impurities, ready for distribution and consumption.
103 99 TEXT_KINGMD120_04931_CAHCIUA_000_052 Meanwhile, the memories are stored in the core system. To be “remembered” forever.
104 100 TEXT_KINGMD120_04931_ALISAIE_000_053 And this is why people are happy here? On its surface, it's similar to the Yok Huy philosophy, but I see nothing noble or comforting in it...
105 101 TEXT_KINGMD120_04931_GEODE_000_054 Well, it doesn't seem so terrible to me personally. All comes down to what you're used to, I suppose.
106 102 TEXT_KINGMD120_04931_GEODE_000_055 Like the barrier encasing Alexandria, this system was created to overcome the calamity that transformed the world hundreds of years ago.
107 103 TEXT_KINGMD120_04931_GEODE_000_056 Amidst the mounting death toll, scientists used electrope to devise a means to save what lives they could so that the nation could endure.
108 104 TEXT_KINGMD120_04931_WUKLAMAT_000_057 I understand the people of Alexandria did what they believed was best to save their people. I just find it hard to believe the Turali would also accept this way of living.
109 105 TEXT_KINGMD120_04931_CAHCIUA_000_058 It came as a shock to us as well. In fact, a great many were opposed to it.
110 106 TEXT_KINGMD120_04931_CAHCIUA_000_059 Which is why the use of regulators was never compulsory. The people have always been free to go without them if they so wish.
111 107 TEXT_KINGMD120_04931_WUKLAMAT_000_060 Sphene didn't strike me as the sort of ruler to impose her will on others.
112 108 TEXT_KINGMD120_04931_CAHCIUA_000_061 Ah, so you've already met?
113 109 TEXT_KINGMD120_04931_ERENVILLE_000_062 She's the one who suggested we come to the Thunderyards in the first place. She also said she wants to help us stop Zoraal Ja.
114 110 TEXT_KINGMD120_04931_CAHCIUA_000_063 Awfully kind of her to point you in my direction. And to speak so candidly as well...
115 111 TEXT_KINGMD120_04931_CAHCIUA_000_064 Whatever her motives, she has given the people a choice: live with the risk of true death, or the security of the regulators.
116 112 TEXT_KINGMD120_04931_ERENVILLE_000_065 Everything that lives must someday die. That is the natural order of things.
117 113 TEXT_KINGMD120_04931_CAHCIUA_000_066 Quite right... But however you feel about them, it would be easier to understand what the regulators are capable of if you saw it for yourself.
118 114 TEXT_KINGMD120_04931_CAHCIUA_000_067 I know just the person to show you, and as luck would have it, they should be starting work right about now.
119 115 TEXT_KINGMD120_04931_WUKLAMAT_000_068 Who are we going to see, exactly?
120 116 TEXT_KINGMD120_04931_CAHCIUA_000_069 Come with me and you'll find out.
121 117 TEXT_KINGMD120_04931_WUKLAMAT_000_074 So those regulators are to blame for everyone forgetting Namikka. For forgetting what a wonderful person she was...
122 118 TEXT_KINGMD120_04931_ALISAIE_000_075 I'm sorry, but I just can't accept the idea of using souls as a resource.
123 119 TEXT_KINGMD120_04931_KRILE_000_076 We're to see how the regulators work, but how?
124 120 TEXT_KINGMD120_04931_GRAHATIA_000_077 To alter the memories of the populace with such precision is no small feat.
125 121 TEXT_KINGMD120_04931_ERENVILLE_000_078 What does she intend to show us?
126 122 TEXT_KINGMD120_04931_CAHCIUA_000_080 Everyone here? Good.
127 123 TEXT_KINGMD120_04931_CAHCIUA_000_081 It is the responsibility of the Thunderyard's hunters to fell any fiends found wandering the area.
128 124 TEXT_KINGMD120_04931_CAHCIUA_000_082 We're to meet an acquaintance of mine, Strika, one of these hunters.
129 125 TEXT_KINGMD120_04931_WUKLAMAT_000_085 What do you think is in this box? I'm guessing food.
130 126 TEXT_KINGMD120_04931_ALISAIE_000_086 Judging by its name, I take it this facility is for gathering lightning energy.
131 127 TEXT_KINGMD120_04931_KRILE_000_087 Given the opportunity, I should very much like to study electrope on behalf of the Students.
132 128 TEXT_KINGMD120_04931_GRAHATIA_000_088 While I am not blind to the potential benefits of these regulators, the risks inherent in giving another party the power to alter your memories cannot be overstated─never mind the ethical considerations of using souls in such a fashion.
133 129 TEXT_KINGMD120_04931_ERENVILLE_000_089 Let's get this over with.
134 130 TEXT_KINGMD120_04931_CAHCIUA_000_090 Strika will show you what life can be like wearing a regulator.
135 131 TEXT_KINGMD120_04931_STRIKA_000_100 Cahciua? What are you doing here? And with so many friends.
136 132 TEXT_KINGMD120_04931_CAHCIUA_000_101 Apologies for the interruption, but I was hoping they might observe you at work.
137 133 TEXT_KINGMD120_04931_STRIKA_000_102 Hunting, you mean? That's fine, I guess...
138 134 TEXT_KINGMD120_04931_STRIKA_000_103 Hold on. I assumed they were wearing special regulators like Queen Sphene's crown, but they aren't wearing anything at all.
139 135 TEXT_KINGMD120_04931_STRIKA_000_104 It's much too dangerous to be here without one. What if they're struck by lightning, or attacked by beasts?
140 136 TEXT_KINGMD120_04931_CAHCIUA_000_105 I can assure you they're all quite capable of looking after themselves. If anything should go amiss, I will take full responsibility.
141 137 TEXT_KINGMD120_04931_STRIKA_000_106 Well, don't say I didn't warn you. Danger aside, there isn't really much to see.
142 138 TEXT_KINGMD120_04931_WUKLAMAT_000_107 Cahciua said you're a hunter, but wouldn't it be easier for those mechanical soldiers to guard this place?
143 139 TEXT_KINGMD120_04931_STRIKA_000_108 It would, if not for the fact they're weak to lightning. The Thunderyard being what it is, they've been ordered to steer clear.
144 140 TEXT_KINGMD120_04931_STRIKA_000_109 Some good they are, eh? But these facilities are vital to the upkeeping of Alexandria's infrastructure, so it falls to hunters like me to deal with any fiends.
145 141 TEXT_KINGMD120_04931_STRIKA_000_110 Given the danger, we're well compensated for our work. It's a perfect profession for anyone looking to build up savings.
146 142 TEXT_KINGMD120_04931_STRIKA_000_111 The special selection of souls for hunters isn't terrible either.
147 143 TEXT_KINGMD120_04931_CAHCIUA_000_112 I brought this lot here to see this danger you speak of. If it's not too much trouble to ask.
148 144 TEXT_KINGMD120_04931_STRIKA_000_113 Ah, of course. In which case, it'd be a shame to waste my efforts on just any old beast.
149 145 TEXT_KINGMD120_04931_STRIKA_000_114 You all can handle yourselves in a fight, right? If you cause a ruckus slaying what critters you see nearby, there's a chance you'll draw out something worthy of a demonstration.
150 146 TEXT_KINGMD120_04931_ALISAIE_000_115 I'm not sure I understand, but I suppose we should each slay what we can.
151 147 TEXT_KINGMD120_04931_ERENVILLE_000_120 I'm afraid I must leave the fighting to you.
152 148 TEXT_KINGMD120_04931_CAHCIUA_000_125 My fussy little bunbun was never any good at fighting, and this body of mine isn't suited to it either. We leave this work in your capable hands!
153 149 TEXT_KINGMD120_04931_CAHCIUA_STRIKA_000_130 This one'll do nicely.
154 150 TEXT_KINGMD120_04931_ALISAIE_000_131 We'll help you!
155 151 TEXT_KINGMD120_04931_STRIKA_000_132 It's fine, really. I've faced worse. Just watch.
156 152 TEXT_KINGMD120_04931_WUKLAMAT_000_133 I don't like the looks of this. Let us help!
157 153 TEXT_KINGMD120_04931_STRIKA_000_134 Oh no!
158 154 TEXT_KINGMD120_04931_ALISAIE_000_135 Look out!
159 155 TEXT_KINGMD120_04931_STRIKA_000_136 Arrrgh!
160 156 TEXT_KINGMD120_04931_KRILE_000_137 Twelve preserve...
161 157 TEXT_KINGMD120_04931_ALISAIE_000_138 She needs healing!
162 158 TEXT_KINGMD120_04931_STRIKA_000_139 That was embarrassing. The bastard caught me off guard.
163 159 TEXT_KINGMD120_04931_WUKLAMAT_000_140 Are you mad!? Seriously, let us help!
164 160 TEXT_KINGMD120_04931_STRIKA_000_141 I told you not to worry.
165 161 TEXT_KINGMD120_04931_STRIKA_000_142 This will only take a moment.
166 162 TEXT_KINGMD120_04931_WUKLAMAT_000_143 Just like Zoraal Ja...
167 163 TEXT_KINGMD120_04931_STRIKA_000_144 Come on, let's get out of here.
168 164 TEXT_KINGMD120_04931_GRAHATIA_000_145 That's also a function of the regulator?
169 165 TEXT_KINGMD120_04931_WUKLAMAT_000_146 I think I understand now how Zoraal Ja was able to return from the dead and defeat Papa, but I'm not sure what we saw at the end there.
170 166 TEXT_KINGMD120_04931_ALISAIE_000_147 As soon as the regulator turned red, it was as if you were possessed. Your movements became beast-like.
171 167 TEXT_KINGMD120_04931_GRAHATIA_000_148 Don't tell me...you empowered yourself with the soul of a beast? I'm reminded of the serpentine soldier we encountered at Vanguard who did the same...
172 168 TEXT_KINGMD120_04931_STRIKA_000_149 So you've crossed paths with one of the king's elite? Such a form can only be achieved from gorging yourself on souls.
173 169 TEXT_KINGMD120_04931_STRIKA_000_150 We could do the same, in theory, but it's incredibly dangerous. Besides, it's not as if they'd allow hunters to carry that many souls to begin with.
174 170 TEXT_KINGMD120_04931_STRIKA_000_151 Well, I should be getting back to work. Take care.
175 171 TEXT_KINGMD120_04931_CAHCIUA_000_152 And there you have it. Regulators can be loaded with two kinds of souls, those of peoples and those of beasts.
176 172 TEXT_KINGMD120_04931_CAHCIUA_000_153 The souls of people can be used to grant the user preternatural strength.
177 173 TEXT_KINGMD120_04931_CAHCIUA_000_154 Naturally, they can also be used to ensure no one suffers an untimely death.
178 174 TEXT_KINGMD120_04931_WUKLAMAT_000_155 And what about the souls of beasts?
179 175 TEXT_KINGMD120_04931_CAHCIUA_000_156 They work much in the same fashion, imbuing you the strength of the chosen animal.
180 176 TEXT_KINGMD120_04931_CAHCIUA_000_157 If, for example, you used the soul of a wolf, you would grow more agile and feral, as you saw with Strika.
181 177 TEXT_KINGMD120_04931_CAHCIUA_000_158 Using several of the same type at once, however, would result in physical changes. Your teeth might become fangs, your nails claws─too many, and you'll become more beast than man.
182 178 TEXT_KINGMD120_04931_GRAHATIA_000_159 Changing one's form through the souls of other beings... It becomes more and more reminiscent of voidsent.
183 179 TEXT_KINGMD120_04931_GRAHATIA_000_160 Yet unlike the void, where the cycle of death and rebirth is simply broken, souls here are forcibly taken before they might reach the aetherial sea. Different means to achieve similar ends.
184 180 TEXT_KINGMD120_04931_ERENVILLE_000_161 A cycle to which all within the dome are bound...
185 181 TEXT_KINGMD120_04931_ALISAIE_000_162 This is wrong. This is all wrong.
186 182 TEXT_KINGMD120_04931_KRILE_000_163 It is indeed hard to accept, being so far removed from our own beliefs.
187 183 TEXT_KINGMD120_04931_KRILE_000_164 Perhaps more shocking is that the technology to achieve all this was developed hundreds of years ago.
188 184 TEXT_KINGMD120_04931_GRAHATIA_000_165 The civilizations in the reflections are surprising indeed...
189 185 TEXT_KINGMD120_04931_ALISAIE_000_170 Having seen the beauty of the aetherial sea firsthand, I simply can't accept what they've done here in Alexandria.
190 186 TEXT_KINGMD120_04931_KRILE_000_171 I understand this is part of their culture, but it is no less disconcerting.
191 187 TEXT_KINGMD120_04931_GRAHATIA_000_172 When Emet-Selch spoke of surprising civilizations in other reflections, I wonder if he had Alexandria in mind.
192 188 TEXT_KINGMD120_04931_ERENVILLE_000_173 Sphene speaks of lived experiences that suggest she's far older than she appears. Considering the power of these regulators, perhaps it's not so farfetched.
193 189 TEXT_KINGMD120_04931_CAHCIUA_000_174 I've never seen it for myself, but it's said that if a beast's soul is potent enough, a single soul is enough to induce a monstrous transformation.
194 190 TEXT_KINGMD120_04931_WUKLAMAT_000_180 While we all have our thoughts on souls, for now the important thing is we know what power Zoraal Ja has at his disposal.
195 191 TEXT_KINGMD120_04931_GRAHATIA_100_180 It is one thing to separate corporeal aether from incorporeal aether, but to strip memories from the soul entirely is unprecedented technology.
196 192 TEXT_KINGMD120_04931_KRILE_000_181 This is no longer only Tuliyollal's concern. With his newfound power, Zoraal Ja has become a real threat to the entire world.
197 193 TEXT_KINGMD120_04931_WUKLAMAT_000_182 Indeed. He has to be stopped, no matter the cost!
