0,"TEXT_STMBDR101_02928_SEQ_00","Wedge wears the expression of a man at his wit's end."
1,"TEXT_STMBDR101_02928_SEQ_01","In the course of their search for Omega, your friends at the Garlond Ironworks have come to Rhalgr's Reach. Apparently, however, they have since encountered some manner of problem which is hindering further progress. That you might grasp the nature of the problem in question, Wedge invites you to join him and Biggs at the workshop."
2,"TEXT_STMBDR101_02928_SEQ_02","You learn to your surprise that Nero tol Scaeva has been offered employment at the Ironworks without prior approval from Cid, who is none too pleased. At length, he grudgingly agrees to tolerate his old rival's presence, and takes the opportunity to beseech your aid in the ongoing investigation into Omega. Moments later, an engineer rushes in with grave tidings: aetheric readings have risen alarmingly at the Yawn, where Omega is thought to be hiding. Fearing the worst, Cid resolves at once to visit the scene and asks that you accompany him."
3,"TEXT_STMBDR101_02928_SEQ_03","As you stare at the pool of condensed aether that fills the Yawn, Midgardsormr stirs from his slumber to inform you that Omega does indeed await within. Then, without warning, a chocobo-like creature bursts out of the pool followed by an enormous, translucent serpent. Once the initial panic has passed, Midgardsormr explains that Omega is capable of bringing forth life, and that the serpent was one of its creations. All eyes duly turn to what appears to be an approximation of a chocobo, which has settled at the party's side."
4,"TEXT_STMBDR101_02928_SEQ_04","Through Midgardsormr, the chocobo describes a strange plane beyond the Yawn. There, Omega appears to be testing its creations, and the only way to find out more is to venture in─by taking a plunge into the pink pool."
5,"TEXT_STMBDR101_02928_SEQ_05","Together with your comrades, you jump into the Yawn and find yourself in a rift between dimensions. Shortly thereafter, Omega reaches out to you via one of its monitors and declares that you are to participate in an experiment. It seeks to determine the mightiest being by pitting subjects against one another in combat, to which end it has selected and recreated eighty-nine entities. You are provisionally assigned to the Alpha group, so named for your new chocobo friend, and your first task will be to fight your way to a place called the Deltascape. In so doing, you will prove your fitness to be fully fledged test subjects.
※In the event that you leave the Interdimensional Rift, you may re-enter by speaking with the Ironworks hand at the Yawn."
6,"TEXT_STMBDR101_02928_SEQ_06","You win through to the egg-shaped Deltascape─one of many such structures floating in the rift─thereby confirming your status as test subjects...albeit the weakest of them all. Omega duly grants you time and space to prepare for your next trial: entering the Deltascape and defeating all the subjects within. After your host leaves, you and your companions set about establishing an improvised base of operations."
7,"TEXT_STMBDR101_02928_SEQ_07","Having secured a foothold in the rift, the party turns its attention to the challenges that lie ahead. Whatever else stands between you and Omega, there seems little doubt that your combat skills will be tested to their limit...and perhaps beyond."

49,"TEXT_STMBDR101_02928_WEDGE_000_010","<gasp> <Split(<Highlight>ObjectParameter(1)</Highlight>, ,1)/>, thank the gods you're here! We need your help!"
50,"TEXT_STMBDR101_02928_WEDGE_000_011","In case you haven't heard, we've set up operations in Rhalgr's Reach, while we look for Omega."
51,"TEXT_STMBDR101_02928_WEDGE_000_012","It's been decidedly slow going, I'm sorry to say, and we still haven't seen the blasted thing since it disappeared during the battle with Shinryu."
52,"TEXT_STMBDR101_02928_WEDGE_000_013","...Which is not to say we haven't made any progress. We know now that Shinryu ended up in the imperials' hands, and that it was shackled with some very distinctive-looking bindings when they found it."
53,"TEXT_STMBDR101_02928_WEDGE_000_014","Obviously, only you-know-what could have done something like that, and the fact that the restraints were still functioning suggests it didn't shut down when the chief instructed it to either."
54,"TEXT_STMBDR101_02928_WEDGE_000_015","Anyway, we were getting close to identifying Omega's whereabouts when we encountered...what you might call...a problem. Mayhap it would be best if you came to the workshop and saw for yourself."
55,"TEXT_STMBDR101_02928_CID_000_020","Go on! <Emphasis>Suggest something!</Emphasis> And I'll be sure to do the exact bloody opposite!"
56,"TEXT_STMBDR101_02928_NERO_000_025","Come now, <Emphasis>Chief</Emphasis>... That isn't terribly constructive."
57,"TEXT_STMBDR101_02928_WEDGE_000_030","...Spot the problem?"
58,"TEXT_STMBDR101_02928_JESSIE_000_035","<sigh> So much for improving efficiency..."
59,"TEXT_STMBDR101_02928_BIGGS_000_040","...Surprised? Aye, so were we. He's been brought in as a “consultant,” believe it or not."
60,"TEXT_STMBDR101_02928_CID_000_041","How many times do I have to tell you!? You will play <Emphasis>no part</Emphasis> in this investigation!"
61,"TEXT_STMBDR101_02928_CID_000_042","Your motives were dubious from the first, and nothing you have done since has served to make them any clearer."
62,"TEXT_STMBDR101_02928_CID_000_043","Out of necessity, I agreed to take part in Omega's activation, but that will be the extent of our cooperation!"
63,"TEXT_STMBDR101_02928_NERO_000_044","Passing judgment without due consideration, openly disparaging colleagues... Not very chiefly of you, Chief."
64,"TEXT_STMBDR101_02928_NERO_000_045","I'll have you know I'm a sensitive new recruit who thrives on encouragement."
65,"TEXT_STMBDR101_02928_CID_000_046","Then I trust you'll thrive elsewhere when I encourage you to piss off!"
66,"TEXT_STMBDR101_02928_CID_000_047","I will not have him on our roster, Jessie─never mind anywhere near our work. His employment is to be terminated, effective immediately!"
67,"TEXT_STMBDR101_02928_JESSIE_000_048","The thing is, Chief...we've already paid him in full. And it wasn't exactly a pittance, either. Four-fifths what you get was the agreement."
68,"TEXT_STMBDR101_02928_JESSIE_000_049","Look, whatever disagreements you might've had in the past, the fact is, we could do with his expertise now. Let him earn his keep, at the very least."
69,"TEXT_STMBDR101_02928_CID_000_050","I don't believe this... You claim my <Emphasis>wholly justified</Emphasis> ventures represent an “unsustainable risk to the Ironworks”─and then pay him a sultan's ransom in advance!? <Emphasis>Him</Emphasis>!? Give me strength...!"
70,"TEXT_STMBDR101_02928_BIGGS_100_050","This has been the way of it for a while now... On account of which, we've had to put the investigation on hold..."
71,"TEXT_STMBDR101_02928_Q1_000_051","What will you say?"
72,"TEXT_STMBDR101_02928_A1_000_052","Let's investigate by ourselves."
73,"TEXT_STMBDR101_02928_A1_000_053","Let me know how it goes. I'm leaving."
74,"TEXT_STMBDR101_02928_NERO_000_054","Tsk-tsk. As much as I admire your enthusiasm, hero, you will not get very far without some brains to complement your admirable brawn. Happily, I am blessed with a surfeit of the former."
75,"TEXT_STMBDR101_02928_NERO_000_055","From this moment forth, you shall be my chaperone. With the realm's savior watching my every move, I couldn't possibly make any mischief─which should surely serve to allay my employer's concerns?"
76,"TEXT_STMBDR101_02928_NERO_000_056","Tsk-tsk. It is not like you to shirk your duties, hero. Were you not present at Omega's activation? And are you not therefore jointly responsible for the havoc it may wreak if left to its own devices? I think we both know the answer."
77,"TEXT_STMBDR101_02928_NERO_000_057","From this moment forth, you shall be my chaperone. With the realm's savior watching my every move, I couldn't possibly make any mischief─which should surely serve to allay my employer's concerns?"
78,"TEXT_STMBDR101_02928_CID_000_058","Forgive me, <Split(<Highlight>ObjectParameter(1)</Highlight>, ,1)/>. It was not my intent to embroil you in this mess. I didn't even know you were here. Seeing as you are, though...I cannot deny that I would be glad to have you on board."
79,"TEXT_STMBDR101_02928_CID_000_059","The fact is, we are no closer to understanding the true extent of Omega's powers, and even if it was damaged during its encounter with Shinryu, it seems highly doubtful that we will be able to disable it unaided."
80,"TEXT_STMBDR101_02928_CID_000_060","We have got as far as identifying its likely resting place, but I for one would feel a lot more confident about surveying the area with you around to deal with any unexpected surprises. Might I persuade you to lend us a hand once more, old friend?"
81,"TEXT_STMBDR101_02928_NERO_000_061","Then it's settled!"
82,"TEXT_STMBDR101_02928_STAFF02928_000_062","Ch-Chief, we have a problem! The aetheric concentration levels at the Yawn are soaring. Our readings doubled from one moment to the next, and by the time we went to check them, they'd doubled again!"
83,"TEXT_STMBDR101_02928_CID_000_063","What? But that could only mean─"
84,"TEXT_STMBDR101_02928_CID_000_064","Evacuate the site. I shall handle this matter personally."
85,"TEXT_STMBDR101_02928_CID_000_065","Biggs, Wedge, <Split(<Highlight>ObjectParameter(1)</Highlight>, ,1)/>─I need you with me at the Yawn, to the south of here. That's where we believe Omega came to rest."
86,"TEXT_STMBDR101_02928_CID_000_066","Jessie─hold the fort while I'm gone. And, if possible, continue surveillance from a safe distance."
87,"TEXT_STMBDR101_02928_JESSIE_000_067","All right, Chief. Watch yourself out there."
88,"TEXT_STMBDR101_02928_NERO_000_068","...Am I to stay and <Emphasis>mind the shop</Emphasis> too?"
89,"TEXT_STMBDR101_02928_CID_000_069","Oh no. I'm not letting you out of my sight. But before you fill the room with maniacal laughter, I want you to remember something: when you collected your inexplicably lavish fee, the Ironworks' creed became <Emphasis>your</Emphasis> creed. That's “Freedom through Technology,” in case you've forgotten─not “Supremacy through Allagan Ingenuity.” Breach this contract and I will have my ponze of flesh."
90,"TEXT_STMBDR101_02928_JESSIE_000_070","I'll take care of things here. Look after everyone for me, all right? I need the boys back and innovating before our customers tire of our current offerings."
91,"TEXT_STMBDR101_02928_NERO_000_075","Hah, would you look at that!"
92,"TEXT_STMBDR101_02928_BIGGS_000_080","I've got a bad feeling about this..."
93,"TEXT_STMBDR101_02928_WEDGE_000_085","C-Crikey! It was just a plain old hole before!"
94,"TEXT_STMBDR101_02928_CID_000_100","What in the seven hells is going on here?"
95,"TEXT_STMBDR101_02928_NERO_000_101","A veritable sea of condensed aether... Our precious has been busy."
96,"TEXT_STMBDR101_02928_MIDGARDSORMR_000_102","(-???-)Hmmm... What villainy is this?"
97,"TEXT_STMBDR101_02928_MIDGARDSORMR_000_103","In slumber sweet have I lain since mine offsprings' war with man did end. Yet I could not choose but stir at this abhorrent stench."
98,"TEXT_STMBDR101_02928_MIDGARDSORMR_000_104","Have care, mortal. For within this great hollow lieth Omega."
99,"TEXT_STMBDR101_02928_MIDGARDSORMR_000_105","Long have we known one another. Our history spanneth eons and stars."
100,"TEXT_STMBDR101_02928_WEDGE_000_106","Oh gods, what's happening!?"
101,"TEXT_STMBDR101_02928_BIGGS_000_107","Chief! Get out of there!"
102,"TEXT_STMBDR101_02928_BIGGS_000_108","Eh!? You─ You're not dead!"
103,"TEXT_STMBDR101_02928_CID_000_109","Apparently not. It passed straight through me...as if it were some sort of illusion."
104,"TEXT_STMBDR101_02928_MIDGARDSORMR_000_110","'Tis one of Omega's creations."
105,"TEXT_STMBDR101_02928_MIDGARDSORMR_000_111","Omega is a weapon wrought in a place beyond the reach of thy kind, capable of weaving aether into life."
106,"TEXT_STMBDR101_02928_MIDGARDSORMR_000_112","That serpent is yet unfinished, but doubt not that it will become a corporeal threat ere long."
107,"TEXT_STMBDR101_02928_BIGGS_000_113","Well, whatever it is, it's gone."
108,"TEXT_STMBDR101_02928_NERO_000_114","While this peculiar thing remains."
109,"TEXT_STMBDR101_02928_ALPHA_000_115","(-???-)Kweh?"
110,"TEXT_STMBDR101_02928_WEDGE_000_116","If it looks like a chocobo...and <Emphasis>kwehs</Emphasis> like a chocobo..."
111,"TEXT_STMBDR101_02928_WEDGE_000_117","...I'm thinking it's probably a chocobo?"
112,"TEXT_STMBDR101_02928_CID_000_120","I've no idea what it is, but it doesn't seem to pose any immediate threat."
113,"TEXT_STMBDR101_02928_NERO_000_125","Fascinating. We should dissect it. In the name of science."
114,"TEXT_STMBDR101_02928_BIGGS_000_130","...It looks like a chocobo in the same way a mammet looks like a person, if you know what I mean?"
115,"TEXT_STMBDR101_02928_WEDGE_000_135","You heard him kweh, didn't you? He's a chocobo, I'm sure of it!"
116,"TEXT_STMBDR101_02928_ALPHA_000_140","Kweh?"
117,"TEXT_STMBDR101_02928_BIGGS_000_141","Hmmm... The way it kwehs isn't unlike a chocobo, but it looks more like a stuffed doll to me."
118,"TEXT_STMBDR101_02928_WEDGE_000_142","It's definitely a chocobo, trust me on this. The ones we Lalafells ride are all about this size, aren't they?"
119,"TEXT_STMBDR101_02928_BIGGS_000_143","I s'pose...
Aye, all right, let's go with chocobo for now."
120,"TEXT_STMBDR101_02928_MIDGARDSORMR_000_144","Thy mistress's blessing extendeth not unto this creature's soul, then...?"
121,"TEXT_STMBDR101_02928_MIDGARDSORMR_000_145","Very well. As this matter concerneth Omega, I shall speak with it in thy stead."
122,"TEXT_STMBDR101_02928_CID_000_146","Uh...<Split(<Highlight>ObjectParameter(1)</Highlight>, ,1)/>? Aren't you going to introduce us to your knowledgeable little dragon friend?"

125,"TEXT_STMBDR101_02928_NERO_000_0149","Little and less is known about Omega's origin. It first appeared in records dating back to the Third Astral Era, before the Allagan Empire reached its zenith, and said records had but the one thing to say: “Omega activation successful.”"
126,"TEXT_STMBDR101_02928_NERO_000_150","In the centuries that followed, the Allagans enjoyed rapid technological development, but there was nary a further mention of Omega until its capture of Bahamut."

5 1 TEXT_STMBDR101_02928_SEQ_01 In the course of their search for Omega, your friends at the Garlond Ironworks have come to Rhalgr's Reach. Apparently, however, they have since encountered some manner of problem which is hindering further progress. That you might grasp the nature of the problem in question, Wedge invites you to join him and Biggs at the workshop.
6 2 TEXT_STMBDR101_02928_SEQ_02 You learn to your surprise that Nero tol Scaeva has been offered employment at the Ironworks without prior approval from Cid, who is none too pleased. At length, he grudgingly agrees to tolerate his old rival's presence, and takes the opportunity to beseech your aid in the ongoing investigation into Omega. Moments later, an engineer rushes in with grave tidings: aetheric readings have risen alarmingly at the Yawn, where Omega is thought to be hiding. Fearing the worst, Cid resolves at once to visit the scene and asks that you accompany him.
7 3 TEXT_STMBDR101_02928_SEQ_03 As you stare at the pool of condensed aether that fills the Yawn, Midgardsormr stirs from his slumber to inform you that Omega does indeed await within. Then, without warning, a chocobo-like creature bursts out of the pool followed by an enormous, translucent serpent. Once the initial panic has passed, Midgardsormr explains that Omega is capable of bringing forth life, and that the serpent was one of its creations. All eyes duly turn to what appears to be an approximation of a chocobo, which has settled at the party's side.
8 4 TEXT_STMBDR101_02928_SEQ_04 Through Midgardsormr, the chocobo describes a strange plane beyond the Yawn. There, Omega appears to be testing its creations, and the only way to find out more is to venture in─by taking a plunge into the pink pool.
9 5 TEXT_STMBDR101_02928_SEQ_05 Together with your comrades, you jump into the Yawn and find yourself in a rift between dimensions. Shortly thereafter, Omega reaches out to you via one of its monitors and declares that you are to participate in an experiment. It seeks to determine the mightiest being by pitting subjects against one another in combat, to which end it has selected and recreated eighty-nine entities. You are provisionally assigned to the Alpha group, so named for your new chocobo friend, and your first task will be to fight your way to a place called the Deltascape. In so doing, you will prove your fitness to be fully fledged test subjects. ※In the event that you leave the Interdimensional Rift, you may re-enter by speaking with the Ironworks hand at the Yawn.

After your host leaves, you and your companions set about establishing an improvised base of operations.
11 7 TEXT_STMBDR101_02928_SEQ_07 Having secured a foothold in the rift, the party turns its attention to the challenges that lie ahead. Whatever else stands between you and Omega, there seems little doubt that your combat skills will be tested to their limit...and perhaps beyond.

65 61 TEXT_STMBDR101_02928_CID_000_042 Your motives were dubious from the first, and nothing you have done since has served to make them any clearer.
66 62 TEXT_STMBDR101_02928_CID_000_043 Out of necessity, I agreed to take part in Omega's activation, but that will be the extent of our cooperation!
67 63 TEXT_STMBDR101_02928_NERO_000_044 Passing judgment without due consideration, openly disparaging colleagues... Not very chiefly of you, Chief.
68 64 TEXT_STMBDR101_02928_NERO_000_045 I'll have you know I'm a sensitive new recruit who thrives on encouragement.
69 65 TEXT_STMBDR101_02928_CID_000_046 Then I trust you'll thrive elsewhere when I encourage you to piss off!
70 66 TEXT_STMBDR101_02928_CID_000_047 I will not have him on our roster, Jessie─never mind anywhere near our work. His employment is to be terminated, effective immediately!
71 67 TEXT_STMBDR101_02928_JESSIE_000_048 The thing is, Chief...we've already paid him in full. And it wasn't exactly a pittance, either. Four-fifths what you get was the agreement.
72 68 TEXT_STMBDR101_02928_JESSIE_000_049 Look, whatever disagreements you might've had in the past, the fact is, we could do with his expertise now. Let him earn his keep, at the very least.
73 69 TEXT_STMBDR101_02928_CID_000_050 I don't believe this... You claim my <Emphasis>wholly justified</Emphasis> ventures represent an “unsustainable risk to the Ironworks”─and then pay him a sultan's ransom in advance!? <Emphasis>Him</Emphasis>!? Give me strength...!
74 70 TEXT_STMBDR101_02928_BIGGS_100_050 This has been the way of it for a while now... On account of which, we've had to put the investigation on hold...
75 71 TEXT_STMBDR101_02928_Q1_000_051 What will you say?
76 72 TEXT_STMBDR101_02928_A1_000_052 Let's investigate by ourselves.
77 73 TEXT_STMBDR101_02928_A1_000_053 Let me know how it goes. I'm leaving.
78 74 TEXT_STMBDR101_02928_NERO_000_054 Tsk-tsk. As much as I admire your enthusiasm, hero, you will not get very far without some brains to complement your admirable brawn. Happily, I am blessed with a surfeit of the former.
79 75 TEXT_STMBDR101_02928_NERO_000_055 From this moment forth, you shall be my chaperone. With the realm's savior watching my every move, I couldn't possibly make any mischief─which should surely serve to allay my employer's concerns?
80 76 TEXT_STMBDR101_02928_NERO_000_056 Tsk-tsk. It is not like you to shirk your duties, hero. Were you not present at Omega's activation? And are you not therefore jointly responsible for the havoc it may wreak if left to its own devices? I think we both know the answer.
81 77 TEXT_STMBDR101_02928_NERO_000_057 From this moment forth, you shall be my chaperone. With the realm's savior watching my every move, I couldn't possibly make any mischief─which should surely serve to allay my employer's concerns?
82 78 TEXT_STMBDR101_02928_CID_000_058 Forgive me, <Split(<Highlight>ObjectParameter(1)</Highlight>, ,1)/>. It was not my intent to embroil you in this mess. I didn't even know you were here. Seeing as you are, though...I cannot deny that I would be glad to have you on board.
83 79 TEXT_STMBDR101_02928_CID_000_059 The fact is, we are no closer to understanding the true extent of Omega's powers, and even if it was damaged during its encounter with Shinryu, it seems highly doubtful that we will be able to disable it unaided.
84 80 TEXT_STMBDR101_02928_CID_000_060 We have got as far as identifying its likely resting place, but I for one would feel a lot more confident about surveying the area with you around to deal with any unexpected surprises. Might I persuade you to lend us a hand once more, old friend?
85 81 TEXT_STMBDR101_02928_NERO_000_061 Then it's settled!
86 82 TEXT_STMBDR101_02928_STAFF02928_000_062 Ch-Chief, we have a problem! The aetheric concentration levels at the Yawn are soaring. Our readings doubled from one moment to the next, and by the time we went to check them, they'd doubled again!
87 83 TEXT_STMBDR101_02928_CID_000_063 What? But that could only mean─
88 84 TEXT_STMBDR101_02928_CID_000_064 Evacuate the site. I shall handle this matter personally.
89 85 TEXT_STMBDR101_02928_CID_000_065 Biggs, Wedge, <Split(<Highlight>ObjectParameter(1)</Highlight>, ,1)/>─I need you with me at the Yawn, to the south of here. That's where we believe Omega came to rest.
90 86 TEXT_STMBDR101_02928_CID_000_066 Jessie─hold the fort while I'm gone. And, if possible, continue surveillance from a safe distance.
91 87 TEXT_STMBDR101_02928_JESSIE_000_067 All right, Chief. Watch yourself out there.
92 88 TEXT_STMBDR101_02928_NERO_000_068 ...Am I to stay and <Emphasis>mind the shop</Emphasis> too?
93 89 TEXT_STMBDR101_02928_CID_000_069 Oh no. I'm not letting you out of my sight. But before you fill the room with maniacal laughter, I want you to remember something: when you collected your inexplicably lavish fee, the Ironworks' creed became <Emphasis>your</Emphasis> creed. That's “Freedom through Technology,” in case you've forgotten─not “Supremacy through Allagan Ingenuity.” Breach this contract and I will have my ponze of flesh.
94 90 TEXT_STMBDR101_02928_JESSIE_000_070 I'll take care of things here. Look after everyone for me, all right? I need the boys back and innovating before our customers tire of our current offerings.
95 91 TEXT_STMBDR101_02928_NERO_000_075 Hah, would you look at that!
96 92 TEXT_STMBDR101_02928_BIGGS_000_080 I've got a bad feeling about this...
97 93 TEXT_STMBDR101_02928_WEDGE_000_085 C-Crikey! It was just a plain old hole before!
98 94 TEXT_STMBDR101_02928_CID_000_100 What in the seven hells is going on here?
99 95 TEXT_STMBDR101_02928_NERO_000_101 A veritable sea of condensed aether... Our precious has been busy.
100 96 TEXT_STMBDR101_02928_MIDGARDSORMR_000_102 (-???-)Hmmm... What villainy is this?
101 97 TEXT_STMBDR101_02928_MIDGARDSORMR_000_103 In slumber sweet have I lain since mine offsprings' war with man did end. Yet I could not choose but stir at this abhorrent stench.
102 98 TEXT_STMBDR101_02928_MIDGARDSORMR_000_104 Have care, mortal. For within this great hollow lieth Omega.
103 99 TEXT_STMBDR101_02928_MIDGARDSORMR_000_105 Long have we known one another. Our history spanneth eons and stars.
104 100 TEXT_STMBDR101_02928_WEDGE_000_106 Oh gods, what's happening!?
105 101 TEXT_STMBDR101_02928_BIGGS_000_107 Chief! Get out of there!
106 102 TEXT_STMBDR101_02928_BIGGS_000_108 Eh!? You─ You're not dead!
107 103 TEXT_STMBDR101_02928_CID_000_109 Apparently not. It passed straight through me...as if it were some sort of illusion.
108 104 TEXT_STMBDR101_02928_MIDGARDSORMR_000_110 'Tis one of Omega's creations.
109 105 TEXT_STMBDR101_02928_MIDGARDSORMR_000_111 Omega is a weapon wrought in a place beyond the reach of thy kind, capable of weaving aether into life.
110 106 TEXT_STMBDR101_02928_MIDGARDSORMR_000_112 That serpent is yet unfinished, but doubt not that it will become a corporeal threat ere long.
111 107 TEXT_STMBDR101_02928_BIGGS_000_113 Well, whatever it is, it's gone.
112 108 TEXT_STMBDR101_02928_NERO_000_114 While this peculiar thing remains.
113 109 TEXT_STMBDR101_02928_ALPHA_000_115 (-???-)Kweh?

115 111 TEXT_STMBDR101_02928_WEDGE_000_117 ...I'm thinking it's probably a chocobo?
116 112 TEXT_STMBDR101_02928_CID_000_120 I've no idea what it is, but it doesn't seem to pose any immediate threat.
117 113 TEXT_STMBDR101_02928_NERO_000_125 Fascinating. We should dissect it. In the name of science.
118 114 TEXT_STMBDR101_02928_BIGGS_000_130 ...It looks like a chocobo in the same way a mammet looks like a person, if you know what I mean?
119 115 TEXT_STMBDR101_02928_WEDGE_000_135 You heard him kweh, didn't you? He's a chocobo, I'm sure of it!
120 116 TEXT_STMBDR101_02928_ALPHA_000_140 Kweh?
121 117 TEXT_STMBDR101_02928_BIGGS_000_141 Hmmm... The way it kwehs isn't unlike a chocobo, but it looks more like a stuffed doll to me.
122 118 TEXT_STMBDR101_02928_WEDGE_000_142 It's definitely a chocobo, trust me on this. The ones we Lalafells ride are all about this size, aren't they?
123 119 TEXT_STMBDR101_02928_BIGGS_000_143 I s'pose... Aye, all right, let's go with chocobo for now. I s'pose... Aye, all right, let's go with chocobo for now.

125 121 TEXT_STMBDR101_02928_MIDGARDSORMR_000_145 Very well. As this matter concerneth Omega, I shall speak with it in thy stead.
126 122 TEXT_STMBDR101_02928_CID_000_146 Uh...<Split(<Highlight>ObjectParameter(1)</Highlight>, ,1)/>? Aren't you going to introduce us to your knowledgeable little dragon friend?
127 123 TEXT_STMBDR101_02928_CID_000_147 What, <Emphasis>the</Emphasis> Midgardsormr─who fought and fell at the Battle of Silvertear Skies!?
128 124 TEXT_STMBDR101_02928_NERO_000_148 And here I was, content to be traveling in the company of just <Emphasis>one</Emphasis> legend. Without wishing to offend you, hero, the Father of Dragons does have something you do not, that being relevant knowledge. There is much we could learn from him...
129 125 TEXT_STMBDR101_02928_NERO_000_0149 Little and less is known about Omega's origin. It first appeared in records dating back to the Third Astral Era, before the Allagan Empire reached its zenith, and said records had but the one thing to say: “Omega activation successful.”
130 126 TEXT_STMBDR101_02928_NERO_000_150 In the centuries that followed, the Allagans enjoyed rapid technological development, but there was nary a further mention of Omega until its capture of Bahamut.
131 127 TEXT_STMBDR101_02928_NERO_000_151 Its existence is a mystery among mysteries, a tale among tales. 'Twas always assumed that the Allagans built it, and I had no reason to believe otherwise.
132 128 TEXT_STMBDR101_02928_CID_000_152 But now Midgardsormr tells us that it's not even of our world.
133 129 TEXT_STMBDR101_02928_MIDGARDSORMR_000_153 Just so. It haileth from another star. More than that I will not say.
134 130 TEXT_STMBDR101_02928_MIDGARDSORMR_000_154 I have spoken with this being. It telleth of a strange plane beyond this hollow, wherein it did reside from the moment of its creation.
135 131 TEXT_STMBDR101_02928_MIDGARDSORMR_000_155 For reasons unknown, it was ordered to fight. Yet being weak, it chose flight instead, and thus crossed over unto this world.
136 132 TEXT_STMBDR101_02928_BIGGS_000_156 Ordered to fight...by Omega? Why in the seven hells would it do that?
137 133 TEXT_STMBDR101_02928_MIDGARDSORMR_000_157 To put its creations to the proof.
138 134 TEXT_STMBDR101_02928_MIDGARDSORMR_000_158 If you would know more, go forth and look upon the truth with your own eyes.
139 135 TEXT_STMBDR101_02928_WEDGE_000_159 Wait...you're saying we should jump in!?
140 136 TEXT_STMBDR101_02928_MIDGARDSORMR_000_160 You have naught to fear from the fall. The hollow hath become a portal into Omega's domain. Once there, this being shall guide you.
141 137 TEXT_STMBDR101_02928_MIDGARDSORMR_000_161 Servant of Hydaelyn... Fate bindeth me to Omega. If it be thine intent to pursue it, I shall lend thee my strength.
142 138 TEXT_STMBDR101_02928_WEDGE_000_162 So you, uh...really can show us around inside the hole, can you?
143 139 TEXT_STMBDR101_02928_ALPHA_000_163 Kweh! Kweh!
144 140 TEXT_STMBDR101_02928_ALPHA_000_170 Kweh!
145 141 TEXT_STMBDR101_02928_NERO_000_175 Hm hm! This day just keeps getting better and better!
146 142 TEXT_STMBDR101_02928_BIGGS_000_180 Are we seriously thinking about going for a dip in that pink muck?
147 143 TEXT_STMBDR101_02928_WEDGE_000_185 I-I'm not too keen on this jumping idea. There are rocks that can swim better than me.
148 144 TEXT_STMBDR101_02928_CID_000_189 Well...I doubt any of us imagined things would come to this, but the Father of Dragons has given his assurance. Let us take our investigation into the Yawn.
149 145 TEXT_STMBDR101_02928_CID_000_190 I have already apprised Jessie of our intent and instructed her to have our engineers on standby.
150 146 TEXT_STMBDR101_02928_CID_000_191 Since we have no way of knowing what awaits us in there, I need you to be ready for anything. Are you?
151 147 TEXT_STMBDR101_02928_CID_000_192 Let us begin!
152 148 TEXT_STMBDR101_02928_WEDGE_000_200 Wh-What is this place!?
153 149 TEXT_STMBDR101_02928_BIGGS_000_201 And what's wrong with us!? I can see straight through me!
154 150 TEXT_STMBDR101_02928_OMEGA_000_202 (-???-)Welcome home, Alpha. Welcome, mortals.
155 151 TEXT_STMBDR101_02928_OMEGA_000_203 I am Omega, and I have awaited your coming. I communicate with you now via one of my monitors.
156 152 TEXT_STMBDR101_02928_OMEGA_000_204 You stand in the rift between dimensions, where a vital experiment is presently in progress.
157 153 TEXT_STMBDR101_02928_OMEGA_000_205 Your participation is appreciated. Please indicate your consent. <blip>
158 154 TEXT_STMBDR101_02928_CID_000_206 Experiment? If you want our participation, you'll have to tell us a little more than that.
159 155 TEXT_STMBDR101_02928_WEDGE_000_207 Uwaaah! We're disappearing!
160 156 TEXT_STMBDR101_02928_OMEGA_000_208 Non-participating entities will be summarily erased. Please indicate your consent. <blip>
161 157 TEXT_STMBDR101_02928_NERO_000_209 It seems we can't even exist here without Omega's leave.
162 158 TEXT_STMBDR101_02928_NERO_000_210 I think it's fairly clear what we have to do, don't you!?
163 159 TEXT_STMBDR101_02928_Q3_000_211 What will you say?
164 160 TEXT_STMBDR101_02928_A3_000_212 All right! We consent!
165 161 TEXT_STMBDR101_02928_A3_000_213 Chocobo, what should we do!?
166 162 TEXT_STMBDR101_02928_OMEGA_000_214 Thank you for your cooperation. You are provisionally assigned to the Alpha group.
167 163 TEXT_STMBDR101_02928_CID_000_215 Looks like some manner of tower...or egg.
168 164 TEXT_STMBDR101_02928_OMEGA_000_216 The aim of the experiment is to determine the mightiest being in creation.
169 165 TEXT_STMBDR101_02928_OMEGA_000_217 To that end, eighty-nine candidates have been selected and recreated. They are grouped by dimension, matched by strength, and pitted against one another.
170 166 TEXT_STMBDR101_02928_OMEGA_000_218 That which you identify as a chocobo is subject Alpha, and you have been assigned to its group.
171 167 TEXT_STMBDR101_02928_OMEGA_000_219 This assignation is tentative, however, pending an assessment of your fitness to serve as fully fledged test subjects. Your combat capabilities will be evaluated shortly.
172 168 TEXT_STMBDR101_02928_CID_000_220 Combat capabilities? You mean you want us to fight?
173 169 TEXT_STMBDR101_02928_OMEGA_000_221 Affirmative. A course shall be constructed for this purpose, through which you must attempt to fight your way. Your suitability will be confirmed upon reaching the Deltascape test world beyond.
174 170 TEXT_STMBDR101_02928_OMEGA_000_222 Please note, however, that only entities with existential authorization may interact with objects in the rift.
175 171 TEXT_STMBDR101_02928_OMEGA_000_223 Of your number, only Alpha has this at present.
176 172 TEXT_STMBDR101_02928_OMEGA_000_224 Before you may engage in combat, said authorization must be temporarily transferred to you. <blip> <bloop>
177 173 TEXT_STMBDR101_02928_NERO_000_225 Hah, an invitation from Omega itself! Not even I could've foreseen this!
178 174 TEXT_STMBDR101_02928_NERO_000_226 We are accepting it, of course? It's preferable to summary erasure, as I'm sure you'll agree.
179 175 TEXT_STMBDR101_02928_CID_000_227 Alpha, was it? My colleagues and I are minded to participate in Omega's experiment. Will you transfer your authorization to us?
180 176 TEXT_STMBDR101_02928_LEVELCHECKER_000_228 <beep> Existential authorization transferred. Subjects ready to engage. Please begin at your own convenience and proceed as directed.
181 177 TEXT_STMBDR101_02928_GARLONDGATEKEEPER_000_230 Good <If(LessThan(PlayerParameter(11),12))><If(LessThan(PlayerParameter(11),4))>evening<Else/>morrow</If><Else/><If(LessThan(PlayerParameter(11),17))>day<Else/>evening</If></If> to you, <If(PlayerParameter(4))>madam<Else/>sir</If>. Will you be descending into the Yawn?
182 178 TEXT_STMBDR101_02928_SYSTEM_000_231 Enter the Interdimensional Rift?
183 179 TEXT_STMBDR101_02928_CID_000_250 That's our goal, the Deltascape, if I'm not mistaken. What do you think is waiting for us in there?
184 180 TEXT_STMBDR101_02928_NERO_000_251 Omega said that it groups subjects by dimension.
185 181 TEXT_STMBDR101_02928_NERO_000_252 If the creatures we fought on the way were merely intended to separate the wheat from the chaff, it would seem certain that far greater challenges await inside these egg-like objects─our fellow test subjects, most like...
186 182 TEXT_STMBDR101_02928_NERO_000_253 But I am not certain what to make of that castle. Could it somehow be connected to the subjects?
187 183 TEXT_STMBDR101_02928_ALPHA_000_254 Kweh!
188 184 TEXT_STMBDR101_02928_WEDGE_000_255 Alpha! But hold on a moment... Shouldn't either one or the other of us be translucent?
189 185 TEXT_STMBDR101_02928_OMEGA_000_256 (-Omega-)<blip> Subjects confirmed to have arrived at the Deltascape. Analysis complete.
190 186 TEXT_STMBDR101_02928_OMEGA_000_257 (-Omega-)Congratulations, you are approved for participation. Your strength places you in the selfsame tier as Alpha─the feeblest and farthest removed from myself.
191 187 TEXT_STMBDR101_02928_OMEGA_000_258 (-Omega-)Nonetheless, you are now fully fledged test subjects. Welcome, weakest of challengers.
192 188 TEXT_STMBDR101_02928_OMEGA_000_259 (-Omega-)As corporeal lifeforms, you need not undergo development within a test world. Instead, you may use this space freely.
193 189 TEXT_STMBDR101_02928_NERO_000_260 Not quite what I would have chosen, but one must make do. ...Speaking of which: what is it that we're supposed to do, exactly? Not quite what I would have chosen, but one must make do. ...Speaking of which: what is it that we're supposed to do, exactly?
194 190 TEXT_STMBDR101_02928_OMEGA_000_261 (-Omega-)You are to enter the Deltascape and defeat all test subjects within.
195 191 TEXT_STMBDR101_02928_OMEGA_000_262 (-Omega-)Please note, however, that strength in numbers will not be acknowledged. There is a strict limit upon how many entities may participate in combat.
196 192 TEXT_STMBDR101_02928_OMEGA_000_263 (-Omega-)Only a small party may have existential authorization transferred from Alpha. Good luck. <blip>
197 193 TEXT_STMBDR101_02928_NERO_000_264 So the eggs <Emphasis>do</Emphasis> contain our fellow test subjects─just as I predicted, eh, Garlond?
198 194 TEXT_STMBDR101_02928_CID_000_265 Before we turn our thoughts to the Deltascape, I suggest we set up a base of operations here.
199 195 TEXT_STMBDR101_02928_ALPHA_000_270 Kweh?
200 196 TEXT_STMBDR101_02928_NERO_000_275 Quite impressive for an improvised arrangement, even if I do say so myself. Now then, let us see what we can learn from our host's many monitors.
201 197 TEXT_STMBDR101_02928_BIGGS_000_280 I was thinking about asking the crew to throw some supplies in after us. But only the gods know if they'd make it here in one piece. You can bet they wouldn't be the right way up if they did, though.
202 198 TEXT_STMBDR101_02928_WEDGE_000_285 Whew... All that jumping and fading and fighting really took it out of me...
