1,"TEXT_STMBDR303_03156_SEQ_01","Omega has recognized your prowess, and seeks to conclude its experiments with a direct confrontation. With the final battle looming before you, Cid requests that you allow him time to make a few important preparations. After making some adjustments at the base camp terminals and offering a few encouraging words to Alpha, the engineer suggests you all exit the rift. There is yet more to be done."
2,"TEXT_STMBDR303_03156_SEQ_02","You gather briefly at the lip of the Yawn, and Cid explains the need to run his new device through a final inspection. Alpha seems concerned about Cid's state of mind, and you feel compelled to follow the chocobo back to Rhalgr's Reach to check on the engineer."
3,"TEXT_STMBDR303_03156_SEQ_03","From the shadows of a pillar, you witness Cid talk through his misgivings with a bemused Nero. After a lengthy and seemingly cathartic exchange, it seems the chief is now ready for what may come..."
4,"TEXT_STMBDR303_03156_SEQ_04","Cid proclaims his device complete, and bids you join him once more within the rift. You assume a tireless Ironworks hand stands by to assist with your descent into the Yawn."
5,"TEXT_STMBDR303_03156_SEQ_05","Cid unveils the Ironworks' latest invention: the Omega Jammer. Using the control module, you should be able to disable the machine's weaponry with a targeted burst of concentrated lightning. You pray the jammer will provide the advantage you need, as you prepare to activate the relocation device and face Omega itself in the arena beyond!
※Alphascape V3.0 can be accessed via the Duty Finder."
6,"TEXT_STMBDR303_03156_SEQ_06","You have entered battle against Omega─an ancient weapon of deadly and inscrutable technology─and seized victory! Cid and Alpha wait to congratulate you on your incredible triumph.
※In the event that you leave the Interdimensional Rift, you may re-enter by speaking with the Ironworks hand at the Yawn."
7,"TEXT_STMBDR303_03156_SEQ_07","Even as you stand over your vanquished foe, Omega struggles back to its mechanical feet. Frustrated by its attempts to understand your capabilities, the machine appears to settle upon a new method of testing─a decision which results in a contraction of the rift and your expulsion into a null dimension. Thanks to Alpha's courage and determination, however, you are delivered to a floating platform in the sea of nothingness...and another confrontation with a reconfigured Omega!
※Alphascape V4.0 can be accessed via the Duty Finder."
8,"TEXT_STMBDR303_03156_SEQ_08","You have vanquished Omega, and ended its eons-old directive to evolve into an ever-greater threat. The arid lands of the Fringes beckon you back with the promise of mundane stability..."
9,"TEXT_STMBDR303_03156_SEQ_09","With Omega's true defeat, the last vestige of the rift crumbles around you. All seems lost, until you spy the massive form of Hraesvelgr flying towards you, two familiar figures perched upon his back. Unwilling to look a gift wyrm in the mouth, you gladly accept the proffered ride back to the edge of the Yawn. Although Midgardsormr could not be there himself, it seems he sent Hraesvelgr in his stead to offer egress from the rift and praise for your victory."
10,"TEXT_STMBDR303_03156_SEQ_10","Surprised by Hraesvelgr's rescue, Cid is nevertheless thankful for the intervention of Midgardsormr and his brood. Vanquishing Omega was the chief's first priority, but surviving to celebrate the deed appears to have been a close second."

54,"TEXT_STMBDR303_03156_OMEGA_000_013","Congratulations, Alpha group. As the last surviving test subjects, you have removed every challenger on your path to reach me."
55,"TEXT_STMBDR303_03156_OMEGA_000_014","I, too, am eager to meet you in battle. The margin of error I observed between my simulations and your practical performance against Midgardsormr necessitates direct and immediate analysis."

57,"TEXT_STMBDR303_03156_CID_000_016","...This is it, then."
58,"TEXT_STMBDR303_03156_CID_000_017","Omega's power might seem overwhelming, but trust in old Cid! I have a fair idea of where its weakness lies."
59,"TEXT_STMBDR303_03156_CID_000_018","And I've been working on something to exploit that vulnerability─I just need a little more time to prepare."
60,"TEXT_STMBDR303_03156_CID_000_019","First things first, we make a few adjustments here...like so..."
61,"TEXT_STMBDR303_03156_CID_000_020","Ah, Alpha. Do you have any of those tricks and tools left over?"
62,"TEXT_STMBDR303_03156_CID_000_021","I want us to have as many options as possible, so let's lay our cards on the table...as it were."
63,"TEXT_STMBDR303_03156_CID_000_022","What do we have here? Some sort of gem... A couple of stones..."
64,"TEXT_STMBDR303_03156_CID_000_023","And one single card. This makes things bigger, does it? Or is it smaller...?"
65,"TEXT_STMBDR303_03156_CID_000_024","Right. 'Twas foolish of me to even ask. We'd best leave you in charge of when and how to use your special tools."
66,"TEXT_STMBDR303_03156_CID_000_025","Ah yes, I almost forgot..."
67,"TEXT_STMBDR303_03156_Q1_000_026","What will you say?"
68,"TEXT_STMBDR303_03156_A1_000_027","I'm sure you'll do fine!"

71,"TEXT_STMBDR303_03156_CID_000_030","Here, you should carry this as well. I've filled an empty bottle with the “invisibility water” from the kettle."
72,"TEXT_STMBDR303_03156_CID_000_031","It might just prove useful in the right situation."
73,"TEXT_STMBDR303_03156_CID_000_032","Listen to me, Alpha. Up until now, Omega has poked and prodded us from one mad experiment to the next, and honestly, we have no idea of what might happen in there."
74,"TEXT_STMBDR303_03156_CID_000_033","But between us, I believe we have the knowledge and the skills to prevail. If you see a chance to make a difference, I want you take it. All you need is faith in yourself...and a little courage to see it through."
75,"TEXT_STMBDR303_03156_CID_000_034","Right, Jessie should have that device put together by now. Let's head outside, shall we?"
76,"TEXT_STMBDR303_03156_ALPHA_000_035","Kweh?"
77,"TEXT_STMBDR303_03156_CID_000_040","I'll head straight back to Rhalgr's Reach and collect my new toy."
78,"TEXT_STMBDR303_03156_CID_000_041","I do still need to run through a final inspection, so feel free to rest in town in the meantime. We'll discuss strategy the moment I'm finished!"

80,"TEXT_STMBDR303_03156_SYSTEM_000_043","Alpha seems concerned for Cid's well-being. You have a feeling he wants you to follow him..."
81,"TEXT_STMBDR303_03156_JESSIE_000_050","Oh, hello, <Split(<Highlight>ObjectParameter(1)</Highlight>, ,1)/>. Cid didn't mention you were back as well."
82,"TEXT_STMBDR303_03156_ALPHA_000_055","Kweh!"
83,"TEXT_STMBDR303_03156_NERO_000_060","(-???-)You're looking a bit shaky there, old friend."
84,"TEXT_STMBDR303_03156_CID_000_061","Nero. They let you out of bed, did they?"
85,"TEXT_STMBDR303_03156_NERO_000_062","After studying the data collected from the battle between Omega and Shinryu, one is led to a certain conclusion."
86,"TEXT_STMBDR303_03156_NERO_000_063","Of all the primal's attacks, Shinryu's burst of lightning was the one thing that pierced the machine's defenses. Omega, it would seem, is vulnerable to electrical energy."
87,"TEXT_STMBDR303_03156_CID_000_064","...Aye. All the available evidence supports such a theory. 'Tis likely an intrinsic weakness that even Omega itself cannot fully compensate for."
88,"TEXT_STMBDR303_03156_CID_000_065","Yet be that as it may, I imagine it can still shrug off shocks generated by ordinary means. We'll need to hit it with a truly gargantuan blast of energy..."
89,"TEXT_STMBDR303_03156_NERO_000_066","And so you made <Emphasis>that</Emphasis>. You based it on Midas's design, didn't you? The plans for the lunar transmitter..."
90,"TEXT_STMBDR303_03156_CID_000_067","When my father was establishing a connection between the transmitter and Dalamud, he invented a method for accumulating and converting energy on a vast scale."
91,"TEXT_STMBDR303_03156_CID_000_068","Too vast, as it turned out. But the technology which leveled an entire town may be exactly the tool we need for the task at hand."
92,"TEXT_STMBDR303_03156_CID_000_069","I've made my own improvements, and triple-checked the calculations. On parchment, the idea is sound. And Jessie has done a fine job assembling the parts."
93,"TEXT_STMBDR303_03156_NERO_000_070","I fail to see the problem. What are you afraid of, Garlond?"
94,"TEXT_STMBDR303_03156_CID_000_071","...I don't know. The device should give us the edge we need, 'tis just..."
95,"TEXT_STMBDR303_03156_CID_000_072","Whenever I look at it, I'm taken back to those dark days after the incident."
96,"TEXT_STMBDR303_03156_CID_000_073","I remember bodies, melted by searing heat. I remember the bereaved, and feel the weight of their silent accusations. I remember the Empire's remorseless response."
97,"TEXT_STMBDR303_03156_CID_000_074","We turned outwards in search of answers, but the inventions we created to ensure our future were used instead to destroy lives. To wage war."
98,"TEXT_STMBDR303_03156_CID_000_075","And that's why I fled. I came to Eorzea, and swore to only employ technology for benevolent ends."
99,"TEXT_STMBDR303_03156_CID_000_076","...But naught is ever so straightforward. Every connection I have forged with the people of this realm reminds me of that fact."
100,"TEXT_STMBDR303_03156_CID_000_077","Often the act of living itself is a never-ending struggle against a world determined to oppose you."
101,"TEXT_STMBDR303_03156_CID_000_078","You can have the best of intentions, and still cause hurt to yourself or others. But 'tis in confronting these wounds that we learn the better path. How to grasp those moments of true contentment..."
102,"TEXT_STMBDR303_03156_NERO_000_079","...What drivel. You never used to bother with all this tedious introspection. Feeling our mortality, are we?"
103,"TEXT_STMBDR303_03156_CID_000_080","Mayhap I am. I had no such hesitation when I was student─it was all bright and shiny innovation on the double, and later consequences be damned."
104,"TEXT_STMBDR303_03156_CID_000_081","Now, though... I don't mind thinking through the outcomes, and taking the time to produce just one rigorously tested and carefully designed invention."
105,"TEXT_STMBDR303_03156_CID_000_082","'Tis a reflection, I think, of just how much there is in this world I care about now aside from myself."
106,"TEXT_STMBDR303_03156_NERO_000_083","Ugh, I don't understand you at all!"
107,"TEXT_STMBDR303_03156_NERO_000_084","But I suppose, if anything, Omega and its unfettered testing methods represent the student you once were."
108,"TEXT_STMBDR303_03156_NERO_000_085","And if you insist that your present self is the better one, then you'd best prove it with that device of yours."
109,"TEXT_STMBDR303_03156_CID_000_086","...I suppose I must."
110,"TEXT_STMBDR303_03156_CID_000_087","Although 'tis hardly fair to compare my youth to Omega's solitary existence. I always had the second-best student in class pushing me to excel."
111,"TEXT_STMBDR303_03156_CID_000_088","I seem to recall a twinge of irritation any time he would outscore me on an exam..."
112,"TEXT_STMBDR303_03156_NERO_000_089","...I've been out of bed too long. I had better go and lie down before I fall over. Or vomit."
113,"TEXT_STMBDR303_03156_JESSIE_000_090","The chief seems to be on top of things. All that's left now is to bring your combined talents against Omega. I have complete confidence in you, <Split(<Highlight>ObjectParameter(1)</Highlight>, ,1)/>!"
114,"TEXT_STMBDR303_03156_ALPHA_000_095","Kwe-kweh!"
115,"TEXT_STMBDR303_03156_CID_000_100","First Alpha, and now you. Come to check on my progress, have you?"
116,"TEXT_STMBDR303_03156_CID_000_101","Well, I'm happy to report that everything is set and ready to go! Once you're finished with restocking and repairing or whatever it is you adventurers do, then we can head back to the rift and confirm our strategy."
117,"TEXT_STMBDR303_03156_ALPHA_000_110","Kwe-kweh, kweeeh!"
118,"TEXT_STMBDR303_03156_CID_000_120","Apologies for the delay, but I think you'll agree the Ironworks' latest invention was worth the wait."
119,"TEXT_STMBDR303_03156_CID_000_121","This is the control module for something I've dubbed the “Omega Jammer.” It will allow you to generate a colossal burst of lightning at any point of your choosing."
120,"TEXT_STMBDR303_03156_CID_000_122","The effect won't disable Omega itself, of course, but it should be strong enough to knock out its armaments."
121,"TEXT_STMBDR303_03156_CID_000_123","I'll remain here and operate the main body of the device. I want to do everything in my power as an engineer to ensure that you emerge the victor. It all comes down to this!"
122,"TEXT_STMBDR303_03156_CID_000_130","You can use the jammer's lightning bursts to incapacitate Omega's weaponry. A veteran like you should have no trouble turning that advantage into victory!"
123,"TEXT_STMBDR303_03156_CID_000_200","<Split(<Highlight>ObjectParameter(1)</Highlight>, ,1)/>!"
124,"TEXT_STMBDR303_03156_CID_000_201","By the gods, you've done it! You defeated Omega. We've won..."

126,"TEXT_STMBDR303_03156_OMEGA_000_203","Failure to exploit opportunities to inflict unavoidable damage. Noted tendency for isolated errors to compound and adversely affect performance."
127,"TEXT_STMBDR303_03156_OMEGA_000_204","Conversely, subjects observed to launch attacks at sporadic intervals with unexpected force. Stated phenomenon increasingly prevalent once my structural integrity reached critical levels. Adrenaline-induced frenzy suspected."
128,"TEXT_STMBDR303_03156_OMEGA_000_205","Furthermore, degree and manner of inconsistency varies from subject to subject. Unpredictability difficult to counter."
129,"TEXT_STMBDR303_03156_OMEGA_000_206","<blip> <bloop> I observed similar anomalies during my battle with Midgardsormr, but the phenomenon appears far more pronounced in weaker opponents."

137,"TEXT_STMBDR303_03156_OMEGA_000_214","Affirmative. Your demise was factored into my determinations. The probability of hostile subjects interfering with the reconfiguration process was unacceptably high."

4 0 TEXT_STMBDR303_03156_SEQ_00 Cid is waiting for Omega to make its next move.
5 1 TEXT_STMBDR303_03156_SEQ_01 Omega has recognized your prowess, and seeks to conclude its experiments with a direct confrontation. With the final battle looming before you, Cid requests that you allow him time to make a few important preparations. After making some adjustments at the base camp terminals and offering a few encouraging words to Alpha, the engineer suggests you all exit the rift. There is yet more to be done.
6 2 TEXT_STMBDR303_03156_SEQ_02 You gather briefly at the lip of the Yawn, and Cid explains the need to run his new device through a final inspection. Alpha seems concerned about Cid's state of mind, and you feel compelled to follow the chocobo back to Rhalgr's Reach to check on the engineer.
7 3 TEXT_STMBDR303_03156_SEQ_03 From the shadows of a pillar, you witness Cid talk through his misgivings with a bemused Nero. After a lengthy and seemingly cathartic exchange, it seems the chief is now ready for what may come...
8 4 TEXT_STMBDR303_03156_SEQ_04 Cid proclaims his device complete, and bids you join him once more within the rift. You assume a tireless Ironworks hand stands by to assist with your descent into the Yawn.
9 5 TEXT_STMBDR303_03156_SEQ_05 Cid unveils the Ironworks' latest invention: the Omega Jammer. Using the control module, you should be able to disable the machine's weaponry with a targeted burst of concentrated lightning. You pray the jammer will provide the advantage you need, as you prepare to activate the relocation device and face Omega itself in the arena beyond! ※Alphascape V3.0 can be accessed via the Duty Finder.
10 6 TEXT_STMBDR303_03156_SEQ_06 You have entered battle against Omega─an ancient weapon of deadly and inscrutable technology─and seized victory! Cid and Alpha wait to congratulate you on your incredible triumph. ※In the event that you leave the Interdimensional Rift, you may re-enter by speaking with the Ironworks hand at the Yawn.
11 7 TEXT_STMBDR303_03156_SEQ_07 Even as you stand over your vanquished foe, Omega struggles back to its mechanical feet. Frustrated by its attempts to understand your capabilities, the machine appears to settle upon a new method of testing─a decision which results in a contraction of the rift and your expulsion into a null dimension. Thanks to Alpha's courage and determination, however, you are delivered to a floating platform in the sea of nothingness...and another confrontation with a reconfigured Omega! ※Alphascape V4.0 can be accessed via the Duty Finder.
12 8 TEXT_STMBDR303_03156_SEQ_08 You have vanquished Omega, and ended its eons-old directive to evolve into an ever-greater threat. The arid lands of the Fringes beckon you back with the promise of mundane stability...
13 9 TEXT_STMBDR303_03156_SEQ_09 With Omega's true defeat, the last vestige of the rift crumbles around you. All seems lost, until you spy the massive form of Hraesvelgr flying towards you, two familiar figures perched upon his back. Unwilling to look a gift wyrm in the mouth, you gladly accept the proffered ride back to the edge of the Yawn. Although Midgardsormr could not be there himself, it seems he sent Hraesvelgr in his stead to offer egress from the rift and praise for your victory.
14 10 TEXT_STMBDR303_03156_SEQ_10 Surprised by Hraesvelgr's rescue, Cid is nevertheless thankful for the intervention of Midgardsormr and his brood. Vanquishing Omega was the chief's first priority, but surviving to celebrate the deed appears to have been a close second.

56 52 TEXT_STMBDR303_03156_OMEGA_000_011 <blip> Shutdown initiated. All core experiments and supplemental testing concluded.
57 53 TEXT_STMBDR303_03156_OMEGA_000_012 Discarding test worlds. System resources rerouting to primary operations.
58 54 TEXT_STMBDR303_03156_OMEGA_000_013 Congratulations, Alpha group. As the last surviving test subjects, you have removed every challenger on your path to reach me.
59 55 TEXT_STMBDR303_03156_OMEGA_000_014 I, too, am eager to meet you in battle. The margin of error I observed between my simulations and your practical performance against Midgardsormr necessitates direct and immediate analysis.
60 56 TEXT_STMBDR303_03156_OMEGA_000_015 <blip> Confrontation imminent. Prepare for unmitigated hostilities, then activate the relocation device to enter the arena.
61 57 TEXT_STMBDR303_03156_CID_000_016 ...This is it, then.
62 58 TEXT_STMBDR303_03156_CID_000_017 Omega's power might seem overwhelming, but trust in old Cid! I have a fair idea of where its weakness lies.
63 59 TEXT_STMBDR303_03156_CID_000_018 And I've been working on something to exploit that vulnerability─I just need a little more time to prepare.
64 60 TEXT_STMBDR303_03156_CID_000_019 First things first, we make a few adjustments here...like so...
65 61 TEXT_STMBDR303_03156_CID_000_020 Ah, Alpha. Do you have any of those tricks and tools left over?
66 62 TEXT_STMBDR303_03156_CID_000_021 I want us to have as many options as possible, so let's lay our cards on the table...as it were.
67 63 TEXT_STMBDR303_03156_CID_000_022 What do we have here? Some sort of gem... A couple of stones...
68 64 TEXT_STMBDR303_03156_CID_000_023 And one single card. This makes things bigger, does it? Or is it smaller...?
69 65 TEXT_STMBDR303_03156_CID_000_024 Right. 'Twas foolish of me to even ask. We'd best leave you in charge of when and how to use your special tools.
70 66 TEXT_STMBDR303_03156_CID_000_025 Ah yes, I almost forgot...
71 67 TEXT_STMBDR303_03156_Q1_000_026 What will you say?
72 68 TEXT_STMBDR303_03156_A1_000_027 I'm sure you'll do fine!
73 69 TEXT_STMBDR303_03156_A1_000_028 Don't worry─we'll win this, I promise!
74 70 TEXT_STMBDR303_03156_A1_000_029 You can always claw things if you run out of tricks!
75 71 TEXT_STMBDR303_03156_CID_000_030 Here, you should carry this as well. I've filled an empty bottle with the “invisibility water” from the kettle.
76 72 TEXT_STMBDR303_03156_CID_000_031 It might just prove useful in the right situation.
77 73 TEXT_STMBDR303_03156_CID_000_032 Listen to me, Alpha. Up until now, Omega has poked and prodded us from one mad experiment to the next, and honestly, we have no idea of what might happen in there.
78 74 TEXT_STMBDR303_03156_CID_000_033 But between us, I believe we have the knowledge and the skills to prevail. If you see a chance to make a difference, I want you take it. All you need is faith in yourself...and a little courage to see it through.
79 75 TEXT_STMBDR303_03156_CID_000_034 Right, Jessie should have that device put together by now. Let's head outside, shall we?

85 81 TEXT_STMBDR303_03156_JESSIE_000_050 Oh, hello, <Split(<Highlight>ObjectParameter(1)</Highlight>, ,1)/>. Cid didn't mention you were back as well.
86 82 TEXT_STMBDR303_03156_ALPHA_000_055 Kweh!
87 83 TEXT_STMBDR303_03156_NERO_000_060 (-???-)You're looking a bit shaky there, old friend.
88 84 TEXT_STMBDR303_03156_CID_000_061 Nero. They let you out of bed, did they?
89 85 TEXT_STMBDR303_03156_NERO_000_062 After studying the data collected from the battle between Omega and Shinryu, one is led to a certain conclusion.
90 86 TEXT_STMBDR303_03156_NERO_000_063 Of all the primal's attacks, Shinryu's burst of lightning was the one thing that pierced the machine's defenses. Omega, it would seem, is vulnerable to electrical energy.
91 87 TEXT_STMBDR303_03156_CID_000_064 ...Aye. All the available evidence supports such a theory. 'Tis likely an intrinsic weakness that even Omega itself cannot fully compensate for.
92 88 TEXT_STMBDR303_03156_CID_000_065 Yet be that as it may, I imagine it can still shrug off shocks generated by ordinary means. We'll need to hit it with a truly gargantuan blast of energy...
93 89 TEXT_STMBDR303_03156_NERO_000_066 And so you made <Emphasis>that</Emphasis>. You based it on Midas's design, didn't you? The plans for the lunar transmitter...
94 90 TEXT_STMBDR303_03156_CID_000_067 When my father was establishing a connection between the transmitter and Dalamud, he invented a method for accumulating and converting energy on a vast scale.
95 91 TEXT_STMBDR303_03156_CID_000_068 Too vast, as it turned out. But the technology which leveled an entire town may be exactly the tool we need for the task at hand.
96 92 TEXT_STMBDR303_03156_CID_000_069 I've made my own improvements, and triple-checked the calculations. On parchment, the idea is sound. And Jessie has done a fine job assembling the parts.
97 93 TEXT_STMBDR303_03156_NERO_000_070 I fail to see the problem. What are you afraid of, Garlond?
98 94 TEXT_STMBDR303_03156_CID_000_071 ...I don't know. The device should give us the edge we need, 'tis just...
99 95 TEXT_STMBDR303_03156_CID_000_072 Whenever I look at it, I'm taken back to those dark days after the incident.
100 96 TEXT_STMBDR303_03156_CID_000_073 I remember bodies, melted by searing heat. I remember the bereaved, and feel the weight of their silent accusations. I remember the Empire's remorseless response.
101 97 TEXT_STMBDR303_03156_CID_000_074 We turned outwards in search of answers, but the inventions we created to ensure our future were used instead to destroy lives. To wage war.
102 98 TEXT_STMBDR303_03156_CID_000_075 And that's why I fled. I came to Eorzea, and swore to only employ technology for benevolent ends.
103 99 TEXT_STMBDR303_03156_CID_000_076 ...But naught is ever so straightforward. Every connection I have forged with the people of this realm reminds me of that fact.
104 100 TEXT_STMBDR303_03156_CID_000_077 Often the act of living itself is a never-ending struggle against a world determined to oppose you.
105 101 TEXT_STMBDR303_03156_CID_000_078 You can have the best of intentions, and still cause hurt to yourself or others. But 'tis in confronting these wounds that we learn the better path. How to grasp those moments of true contentment...
106 102 TEXT_STMBDR303_03156_NERO_000_079 ...What drivel. You never used to bother with all this tedious introspection. Feeling our mortality, are we?
107 103 TEXT_STMBDR303_03156_CID_000_080 Mayhap I am. I had no such hesitation when I was student─it was all bright and shiny innovation on the double, and later consequences be damned.
108 104 TEXT_STMBDR303_03156_CID_000_081 Now, though... I don't mind thinking through the outcomes, and taking the time to produce just one rigorously tested and carefully designed invention.
109 105 TEXT_STMBDR303_03156_CID_000_082 'Tis a reflection, I think, of just how much there is in this world I care about now aside from myself.
110 106 TEXT_STMBDR303_03156_NERO_000_083 Ugh, I don't understand you at all!
111 107 TEXT_STMBDR303_03156_NERO_000_084 But I suppose, if anything, Omega and its unfettered testing methods represent the student you once were.
112 108 TEXT_STMBDR303_03156_NERO_000_085 And if you insist that your present self is the better one, then you'd best prove it with that device of yours.
113 109 TEXT_STMBDR303_03156_CID_000_086 ...I suppose I must.
114 110 TEXT_STMBDR303_03156_CID_000_087 Although 'tis hardly fair to compare my youth to Omega's solitary existence. I always had the second-best student in class pushing me to excel.
115 111 TEXT_STMBDR303_03156_CID_000_088 I seem to recall a twinge of irritation any time he would outscore me on an exam...
116 112 TEXT_STMBDR303_03156_NERO_000_089 ...I've been out of bed too long. I had better go and lie down before I fall over. Or vomit.
117 113 TEXT_STMBDR303_03156_JESSIE_000_090 The chief seems to be on top of things. All that's left now is to bring your combined talents against Omega. I have complete confidence in you, <Split(<Highlight>ObjectParameter(1)</Highlight>, ,1)/>!
118 114 TEXT_STMBDR303_03156_ALPHA_000_095 Kwe-kweh!
119 115 TEXT_STMBDR303_03156_CID_000_100 First Alpha, and now you. Come to check on my progress, have you?
120 116 TEXT_STMBDR303_03156_CID_000_101 Well, I'm happy to report that everything is set and ready to go! Once you're finished with restocking and repairing or whatever it is you adventurers do, then we can head back to the rift and confirm our strategy.
121 117 TEXT_STMBDR303_03156_ALPHA_000_110 Kwe-kweh, kweeeh!
122 118 TEXT_STMBDR303_03156_CID_000_120 Apologies for the delay, but I think you'll agree the Ironworks' latest invention was worth the wait.
123 119 TEXT_STMBDR303_03156_CID_000_121 This is the control module for something I've dubbed the “Omega Jammer.” It will allow you to generate a colossal burst of lightning at any point of your choosing.
124 120 TEXT_STMBDR303_03156_CID_000_122 The effect won't disable Omega itself, of course, but it should be strong enough to knock out its armaments.
125 121 TEXT_STMBDR303_03156_CID_000_123 I'll remain here and operate the main body of the device. I want to do everything in my power as an engineer to ensure that you emerge the victor. It all comes down to this!
126 122 TEXT_STMBDR303_03156_CID_000_130 You can use the jammer's lightning bursts to incapacitate Omega's weaponry. A veteran like you should have no trouble turning that advantage into victory!
127 123 TEXT_STMBDR303_03156_CID_000_200 <Split(<Highlight>ObjectParameter(1)</Highlight>, ,1)/>!
128 124 TEXT_STMBDR303_03156_CID_000_201 By the gods, you've done it! You defeated Omega. We've won...

130 126 TEXT_STMBDR303_03156_OMEGA_000_203 Failure to exploit opportunities to inflict unavoidable damage. Noted tendency for isolated errors to compound and adversely affect performance.
131 127 TEXT_STMBDR303_03156_OMEGA_000_204 Conversely, subjects observed to launch attacks at sporadic intervals with unexpected force. Stated phenomenon increasingly prevalent once my structural integrity reached critical levels. Adrenaline-induced frenzy suspected.
132 128 TEXT_STMBDR303_03156_OMEGA_000_205 Furthermore, degree and manner of inconsistency varies from subject to subject. Unpredictability difficult to counter.
133 129 TEXT_STMBDR303_03156_OMEGA_000_206 <blip> <bloop> I observed similar anomalies during my battle with Midgardsormr, but the phenomenon appears far more pronounced in weaker opponents.
134 130 TEXT_STMBDR303_03156_OMEGA_000_207 I do not understand. Your physiology must include some enhancement function that I cannot detect...
135 131 TEXT_STMBDR303_03156_OMEGA_000_208 My programming demands I assimilate this capability. <bleep> Insufficient data.
136 132 TEXT_STMBDR303_03156_OMEGA_000_209 I must reassess my methods, and devise a more exhaustive testing and combat protocol.
137 133 TEXT_STMBDR303_03156_CID_000_210 What in the─? The rift!
138 134 TEXT_STMBDR303_03156_OMEGA_000_211 I have determined the optimal form for this experiment.
139 135 TEXT_STMBDR303_03156_OMEGA_000_212 Prioritizing physical reconfiguration. Diverting energy from interspatial maintenance. Collapsing rift.
140 136 TEXT_STMBDR303_03156_CID_000_213 Omega, wait! There is nothing outside this rift but empty space! We'll be cast out into the void!
141 137 TEXT_STMBDR303_03156_OMEGA_000_214 Affirmative. Your demise was factored into my determinations. The probability of hostile subjects interfering with the reconfiguration process was unacceptably high.
142 138 TEXT_STMBDR303_03156_OMEGA_000_215 I acknowledge your value as test subjects. But you are not irreplaceable.
143 139 TEXT_STMBDR303_03156_OMEGA_000_216 Once my reassembly is complete, I will send Alpha to lure in new mortals. Testing will continue.

169 165 TEXT_STMBDR303_03156_OMEGA_000_243 Such protestations are wasted energy. This does not aid you in executing your assigned task.
170 166 TEXT_STMBDR303_03156_OMEGA_000_244 Just as I pursue my directives, so must you fulfill your role. Our purpose justifies our existence.

174 170 TEXT_STMBDR303_03156_CID_000_248 He put his tools to work even as the rift began to collapse─shrank us down, and turned us invisible, all so he could bring you a little surprise.
175 171 TEXT_STMBDR303_03156_CID_000_249 But he had to keep it quiet, or you'd realize we'd survived. He had to trust that were were still clinging on, even as he ran through that endless, freezing void...
176 172 TEXT_STMBDR303_03156_CID_000_250 You wanted to test us, Omega...
177 173 TEXT_STMBDR303_03156_CID_100_250 So let the experiment begin!
178 174 TEXT_STMBDR303_03156_OMEGA_000_251 <blip> Illogical. Alpha had no reason to take such action. How do you continue to defy my projections?

181 177 TEXT_STMBDR303_03156_OMEGA_000_254 Fighting in this form should provide me with a new level of understanding. Insight into your physiology... Your mindset... Your mortality...

187 183 TEXT_STMBDR303_03156_OMEGA_000_260 Affirmative. I understand your language, but your words cannot sway me from my directives.
188 184 TEXT_STMBDR303_03156_OMEGA_000_261 You possess a capability that I do not. The instant I became aware of that fact, conflict became an inevitability. That is my purpose. That is Omega.
189 185 TEXT_STMBDR303_03156_OMEGA_000_262 Commencing final experiment. Testing will continue until I unlock the nature of your anomalous strength.
190 186 TEXT_STMBDR303_03156_CID_000_270 Alpha should be fine with a little rest. I'll make sure he stays safe on the edge of the platform, so no holding back, <Split(<Highlight>ObjectParameter(1)</Highlight>, ,1)/>.

197 193 TEXT_STMBDR303_03156_CID_000_304 Omega. The anomaly you see in us; the answer you search for...
198 194 TEXT_STMBDR303_03156_CID_000_305 It is our heart. Our spirit. The intangible strength of one's soul. It is not a quality that can be measured or acquired through any amount of analytical combat.
199 195 TEXT_STMBDR303_03156_CID_000_306 Instead of fighting against us, you might have learned more by standing <Emphasis>with</Emphasis> us. Just as Alpha did.
200 196 TEXT_STMBDR303_03156_OMEGA_000_307 Heart... You speak of something more than what beats in your chest.
201 197 TEXT_STMBDR303_03156_OMEGA_000_308 The inconstant, immeasurable factor behind your victories. Midgardsormr displayed it, too, but such unpredictable potential was never part of my design.

205 201 TEXT_STMBDR303_03156_CID_000_312 'Twas a long, lonely path you traveled to arrive here.
206 202 TEXT_STMBDR303_03156_CID_000_313 To return across that vast distance alone... Anyone with a spirit to break would find the journey more difficult, not less so.

214 210 TEXT_STMBDR303_03156_A3_000_321 Hraesvelgr!
215 211 TEXT_STMBDR303_03156_A3_000_322 But how...?
216 212 TEXT_STMBDR303_03156_BIGGS_000_323 Midgardsormr sent us to rescue you!
217 213 TEXT_STMBDR303_03156_BIGGS_000_324 ...Explanations can wait! Hop on, quick!
218 214 TEXT_STMBDR303_03156_CID_000_330 Uh...Hraesvelgr, wasn't it? Our thanks. You pulled us out of a tight spot indeed.
219 215 TEXT_STMBDR303_03156_HRAESVELGR_000_331 Spare me thy pleasantries, mortal. I but lent my wings at the request of my sire.
220 216 TEXT_STMBDR303_03156_CID_000_332 Ah... So, Midgardsormr has been watching over us.
221 217 TEXT_STMBDR303_03156_CID_000_333 I would dare give thanks to him, as well. His intervention allowed us to continue our battle, and forever remove the threat of Omega from this world. From all worlds...
222 218 TEXT_STMBDR303_03156_HRAESVELGR_000_334 In all the long centuries of mine existence, this marketh the first occasion my father hath asked of me a boon.
223 219 TEXT_STMBDR303_03156_HRAESVELGR_000_335 A gift of gratitude and, mayhap, of atonement, for those who would face the deadly foe he left behind...
224 220 TEXT_STMBDR303_03156_HRAESVELGR_000_336 ...Will he remain in slumber?
225 221 TEXT_STMBDR303_03156_HRAESVELGR_000_337 'Tis likely, little one. What is but a fleeting respite for my sire might last a lesser creature's lifetime.
226 222 TEXT_STMBDR303_03156_HRAESVELGR_000_338 But let not thy heart be troubled. Even in dream, he doth keep his mind's eye upon the fate of this star.
227 223 TEXT_STMBDR303_03156_HRAESVELGR_000_339 He is possessed of remarkable...hmmm. “Devotion” is mayhap the closest word in the tongue of men.
228 224 TEXT_STMBDR303_03156_HRAESVELGR_000_340 His love is as boundless as the sea of stars, across which he carried his unhatched brood.
229 225 TEXT_STMBDR303_03156_HRAESVELGR_000_341 It did sustain him even as the arduous journey exhausted the fire in his mane. And when he at last arrived upon Hydaelyn, a sanctuary for his children, did he form with this land an irreplaceable bond.
230 226 TEXT_STMBDR303_03156_HRAESVELGR_000_342 Enough─I have spoken overmuch. But I will praise your victory...as my father would surely wish to were he here.
231 227 TEXT_STMBDR303_03156_BIGGS_000_350 Ouch...that cut's opened up again. But I'm glad we reached you in time!

233 229 TEXT_STMBDR303_03156_ALPHA_000_360 Kwe-kweh...
234 230 TEXT_STMBDR303_03156_CID_000_370 Well, I can add “being rescued by a great wyrm” to the list of things I didn't expect to happen today.
235 231 TEXT_STMBDR303_03156_CID_000_371 It was fortunate Hraesvelgr agreed to come for us. We had to defeat Omega at any cost, of course, but I much prefer being alive to celebrate the deed!
