4,TEXT_VOICEMAN_07500_010034_YSHTOLA,"While Calyx doubtless received instruction from someone possessed of such knowledge, there was naught to identify this benevolent mentor."
5,TEXT_VOICEMAN_07500_010036_YSHTOLA,I am however pleased to say that we found several reports concerning the key.
6,TEXT_VOICEMAN_07500_010040_SHALE,"We know the key is used to open paths between worlds, and was a treasured relic of the Milalla."
7,TEXT_VOICEMAN_07500_010050_SHALE,"And just as the Milalla were unable to return after reaching the Mist Continent, so too was Preservation unable to gain a mastery of the prize which had passed into their possession."
8,TEXT_VOICEMAN_07500_010051_SHALE,The data suggests that a particular formula or procedure is required...
9,TEXT_VOICEMAN_07500_010052_SHALE,A process which Calyx appears to have understood to some degree.
10,TEXT_VOICEMAN_07500_010053_SHALE,Yet the key proved fickle.
11,TEXT_VOICEMAN_07500_010054_SHALE,"Perfectly replicating conditions was no guarantee of success. And even when they did manage to generate a modest portal, the destination was never the one they expected."
12,TEXT_VOICEMAN_07500_010055_SHALE,"The reports practically screamed their frustration, describing the experience as being dragged around by a traveler picking roads without rhyme or reason. Serves them right, I say."
13,TEXT_VOICEMAN_07500_010060_YSHTOLA,"After much trial and error, Preservation began to experiment with external actuation devices for the key."
14,TEXT_VOICEMAN_07500_010070_YSHTOLA,"Striving to maintain a stable pathway to a chosen location, they conceived of the technology that forms the gate to the golden city."
15,TEXT_VOICEMAN_07500_010100_GRAHATIA,So their tribulations ultimately afforded them control of the key─albeit in a limited capacity...
16,TEXT_VOICEMAN_07500_010101_GRAHATIA,"Which, of course, explains why they were able to instruct Zoraal Ja in its use."
17,TEXT_VOICEMAN_07500_010102_GRAHATIA,Thus enabling the unprecedented feat of transferring Everkeep and its environs to the Source.
18,TEXT_VOICEMAN_07500_010103_GRAHATIA,"After the Endless Sphene took the key unto herself, she opened pathways to other reflections in her hunt for aether, did she not?"
19,TEXT_VOICEMAN_07500_010104_KRILE,The Milalla merely used it to facilitate their exodus. To think what the key has now wrought in different hands...
20,TEXT_VOICEMAN_07500_010105_GRAHATIA,"For all we know, the actuation device augmented the key's power beyond its intended scope."
21,TEXT_VOICEMAN_07500_010106_GRAHATIA,"Were your goal to plunder whole worlds of their aether, a tool designed to simply transfer people would likely be insufficient."

23,TEXT_VOICEMAN_07500_010110_SHALE,"The machine made for that very purpose is still functional, thankfully. It shouldn't be a problem."
24,TEXT_VOICEMAN_07500_010112_KRILE,"What do you think? We don't even know how the key works─if the device is somehow interfering or amplifying its capabilities, I believe we ought to remove it."

73,TEXT_VOICEMAN_07500_000103_TATARU,"For a blessing, most nations have managed to keep the invaders in check, and casualties appear to be minimal thus far. Though the same cannot be said for those regions with a deeper connection to the void..."

104,TEXT_VOICEMAN_07500_000154_TATARU,"I was able to contact Thancred and Urianger too─they're already on their way. With any luck, you'll be able to rendezvous with them on arrival!"

108,TEXT_VOICEMAN_07500_000180_ALPHINAUD,"Planar fissures have opened up across Garlemald, inundating the region with voidsent. As far as we can ascertain, there are two focal points of their assault."

110,TEXT_VOICEMAN_07500_000200_URIANGER,As well they should. The many talented Ul'dahn thaumaturges among them should be more than capable of closing any fissures they encounter.
111,TEXT_VOICEMAN_07500_000210_ALISAIE,"Which leaves the second focal point: the Clyteum. Jullus and the Garlean community are attempting to mount a counterattack, but are struggling to cope with the sheer number of voidsent."

115,TEXT_VOICEMAN_07500_000250_ALPHINAUD,"The quickest route from here to the front is via the train tracks. Once we arrive, we can support the Garlean forces as we make for the fissure in the munitions factory."

The decryption is finally complete. As we suspected, the data represents a partial record of Preservation's research documents.

TEXT_VOICEMAN_07500_010030_SHALE
A quick scan of the files, however, failed to turn up the information Y'shtola was after.

Indeed. No mention of the Ascians─or primal summoning techniques, for that matter.

TEXT_VOICEMAN_07500_010034_YSHTOLA
While Calyx doubtless received instruction from someone possessed of such knowledge, there was naught to identify this benevolent mentor.
6
5
TEXT_VOICEMAN_07500_010036_YSHTOLA
I am however pleased to say that we found several reports concerning the key.
7
6
TEXT_VOICEMAN_07500_010040_SHALE
We know the key is used to open paths between worlds, and was a treasured relic of the Milalla.
8
7
TEXT_VOICEMAN_07500_010050_SHALE
And just as the Milalla were unable to return after reaching the Mist Continent, so too was Preservation unable to gain a mastery of the prize which had passed into their possession.
9
8
TEXT_VOICEMAN_07500_010051_SHALE
The data suggests that a particular formula or procedure is required...
10
9
TEXT_VOICEMAN_07500_010052_SHALE
A process which Calyx appears to have understood to some degree.
11
10
TEXT_VOICEMAN_07500_010053_SHALE
Yet the key proved fickle.
12
11
TEXT_VOICEMAN_07500_010054_SHALE
Perfectly replicating conditions was no guarantee of success. And even when they did manage to generate a modest portal, the destination was never the one they expected.
13
12
TEXT_VOICEMAN_07500_010055_SHALE
The reports practically screamed their frustration, describing the experience as being dragged around by a traveler picking roads without rhyme or reason. Serves them right, I say.
14
13
TEXT_VOICEMAN_07500_010060_YSHTOLA
After much trial and error, Preservation began to experiment with external actuation devices for the key.
15
14
TEXT_VOICEMAN_07500_010070_YSHTOLA
Striving to maintain a stable pathway to a chosen location, they conceived of the technology that forms the gate to the golden city.
16
15
TEXT_VOICEMAN_07500_010100_GRAHATIA
So their tribulations ultimately afforded them control of the key─albeit in a limited capacity...
17
16
TEXT_VOICEMAN_07500_010101_GRAHATIA
Which, of course, explains why they were able to instruct Zoraal Ja in its use.
18
17
TEXT_VOICEMAN_07500_010102_GRAHATIA
Thus enabling the unprecedented feat of transferring Everkeep and its environs to the Source.
19

TEXT_VOICEMAN_07500_010103_GRAHATIA
After the Endless Sphene took the key unto herself, she opened pathways to other reflections in her hunt for aether, did she not?
20
19
TEXT_VOICEMAN_07500_010104_KRILE
The Milalla merely used it to facilitate their exodus. To think what the key has now wrought in different hands...
21
20
TEXT_VOICEMAN_07500_010105_GRAHATIA
For all we know, the actuation device augmented the key's power beyond its intended scope.
22
21
TEXT_VOICEMAN_07500_010106_GRAHATIA
Were your goal to plunder whole worlds of their aether, a tool designed to simply transfer people would likely be insufficient.
23
22
TEXT_VOICEMAN_07500_010107_KRILE
Shale, I don't suppose you would be able to remove the actuation device?
24
23
TEXT_VOICEMAN_07500_010110_SHALE
The machine made for that very purpose is still functional, thankfully. It shouldn't be a problem.
25
24
TEXT_VOICEMAN_07500_010112_KRILE
What do you think? We don't even know how the key works─if the device is somehow interfering or amplifying its capabilities, I believe we ought to remove it.
26

This is the first time I've beheld the key in all its unobscured glory.
30

The sheer density is extraordinary... 'Tis akin to the structures we saw beneath the Tempest.

Now that you mention it, the ornamentation *is* reminiscent of Amaurot.

It reminds me of Azem's crystal.
36
35

You're suggesting the key has some connection with Azem?
37
36

A plausible theory. Although one we are yet unequipped to prove.

Tataru requires our counsel, and hoped to call upon us in person at the Baldesion Annex.
44
43
TEXT_VOICEMAN_07500_010226_KRILE
Though disappointed we were not present, she appeared content to wait until our travels brought us back to Sharlayan, insisting that it did not merit our immediate summons.
45
44
TEXT_VOICEMAN_07500_010228_KRILE
Her tone suggested otherwise, however, and Ojika felt compelled to contact us directly.
46

It was only once they'd departed for Garlemald that the rumors came to my attention.

I was reluctant to bother you with mere hearsay, especially when you had more pressing matters to contend with...

But earlier I received a confidential report from the Grand Company of Eorzea.
