※The difficulty of this quest will be synced to your current level."
1,"TEXT_BANOMI003_04603_SEQ_01","You speak with N-7000 and Jammingway, who commend you on your work with the Karellians and Grebuloffs. Never one to stand still when they could be dragging you around, however, Jammingway insists on taking you to visit the Last Dregs to see the current state of the café for yourself.
※Please note that the difficulty of this quest has been synced to your current level. Furthermore, you may not proceed with a class or job that is different from when you accepted this quest."
2,"TEXT_BANOMI003_04603_SEQ_02","To say that all is not going as well as your colleagues anticipated would be an understatement, given that you arrive to find that Patron-005 and Patron-006─of the nihilistic Nibirun civilization─have triggered an existential crisis in one of the Omicron barkeeps. N-7000 steps in to prevent a complete system shutdown and is fortunately able to redirect Nibirun attentions to the other settlements of Ultima Thule for a time, but it is clear that making satisfied customers out of these individuals will be a monumental undertaking. Seeking a better source of emotional influence and potential custom, the three of you agree to try the Ea, instead."
3,"TEXT_BANOMI003_04603_SEQ_03","You journey to the abode of the Ea, where Jammingway proposes dividing your forces in the hopes of striking upon a likely customer. As ordered, you direct your attention to the mysterious stone formation where members of the ethereal civilization seem to congregate."
4,"TEXT_BANOMI003_04603_SEQ_04","Though you speak to two Ea, neither seems the least impressed by your offers of quality food and beverages. Perhaps Jammingway and N-7000 have had better luck─but probably not."
5,"TEXT_BANOMI003_04603_SEQ_05","Indeed, your fellow Last Dregs managers have met with round dismissal at the spindly hands of the Ea. Having taken this all rather personally, Jammingway insists that you make another attempt to pique their curiosity─this time, together."
6,"TEXT_BANOMI003_04603_SEQ_06","You speak again with the sophistic Ea, this time petitioning it to answer just a few questions. It has no objections─evidently, incessant questioning is something of a pastime among the Ea─and goes so far as to invite a friend to join in. Though the pair end up asking more questions than you do, your rousing discussion nevertheless manages to stimulate their desire to learn more of the gustatory sensations they may have once experienced. To this end, your fellow managers propose experimenting with various dishes to see if any resonate, and send you off in search of unfamiliar flavors."
7,"TEXT_BANOMI003_04603_SEQ_07","Having delivered the necessary ingredients to N-7000, you gaze with trepidation upon the various dishes Jammingway has prepared. As your role as taste-tester demands, however, you bravely sample all that you can manage, providing gustatory data for N-7000 to pass along to the Ea. They are pleased─if slightly flummoxed─by the result, managing even to identify shellfish as a flavor their people may have once enjoyed. Curious to see if this has had any effect on the star, Jammingway leads the way to Elysion."
8,"TEXT_BANOMI003_04603_SEQ_08","You arrive on Elysion to find it inhabited by new life─a species of jellyfish-like creatures matching naught real or reconstructed in N-7000's database. The Ea speculate that these creatures might be born of some long-lost memory of their infant forms, and dub them the “Miw Miisv” in hopes that they may unlock further insights into the corporeal Ea that once were."

63,"TEXT_BANOMI003_04603_N7000_000_020","<whirr> Situational analysis complete. New customers are of the Nibirun civilization. This society eliminated concepts deemed unpleasant by organic life-forms, such as “war” and “death.” In so doing, individuals attained physical immortality and a state of unified comprehension."
64,"TEXT_BANOMI003_04603_N7000_100_020","Their projections were insufficient, however. The Nibirun people only realized that the elimination of strife would similarly destroy their sources of joy when it was too late. At that point, they jointly decided it would be preferable to return to nonexistence."

67,"TEXT_BANOMI003_04603_JAMMINGWAY_000_023","Sweet Mother, this is terrifying! Cultural exchange be damned─we can't let them near the other patrons."
68,"TEXT_BANOMI003_04603_N7000_000_024","On the contrary─this unit believes that exposure to other civilizations may benefit these customers, and invites them to tour the local simulations of dead worlds."
69,"TEXT_BANOMI003_04603_NIBIRAENOMI_000_025","To be certain, the nature of other civilizations is a long-held curiosity of ours. It may be...interesting to discuss their inherent futility."
70,"TEXT_BANOMI003_04603_N7000_000_026","That is “the spirit”! All societies in Ultima Thule are subject to unique manifestations of despair, so this unit recommends comparing each to the tragic perfection of the Nibirun."
71,"TEXT_BANOMI003_04603_NIBIRAENOMI_000_027","We are in favor. To arrive at philosophical resonance with such beings will fill much time before blessed obliteration..."

75,"TEXT_BANOMI003_04603_N7000_000_029","You have already demonstrated to the peoples of Ultima Thule that despair can be overcome. Projections indicate that, once restored, hope is not so easily extinguished."
76,"TEXT_BANOMI003_04603_JAMMINGWAY_000_030","Hmm... So you think they'll be able to help each other, like you saved M-104 just now?"
77,"TEXT_BANOMI003_04603_JAMMINGWAY_100_030","I suppose I should be glad that they took you up on it. Those Nibirun make my fur stand on end! I don't want them anywhere near Elysion..."
78,"TEXT_BANOMI003_04603_JAMMINGWAY_000_031","It would be nice if we could cure them of their ennui, of course, but I cannot see how."
79,"TEXT_BANOMI003_04603_N7000_000_032","<whirr> The Nibirun are the last dead civilization with sufficient data for replication. Should it prove impossible to turn them into satisfied customers, the probability of further developments on Elysion is low."
80,"TEXT_BANOMI003_04603_JAMMINGWAY_000_033","Oooh, that is frustrating. Why must they be so much scarier than the other two? I retract my complaints about our soup budget."
81,"TEXT_BANOMI003_04603_JAMMINGWAY_000_034","Well, what if we invite patrons from another civilization instead? The Ea, for instance."
82,"TEXT_BANOMI003_04603_JAMMINGWAY_100_034","There is no reason we have to build <Emphasis>all</Emphasis> of our own customers, and they seem rather thoughtful. At the very least, it would make good practice in philosophical debate."
83,"TEXT_BANOMI003_04603_N7000_000_035","This unit cannot guarantee that any amount of practice would prepare you to treat with the Nibirun. However, it agrees that inviting local life-forms to the Last Dregs would be good for business."
84,"TEXT_BANOMI003_04603_JAMMINGWAY_000_038","I probably should have asked beforehand, but do the Ea have mouths? That seems a rather important detail in this context..."
85,"TEXT_BANOMI003_04603_N7000_000_039","Current objective: convince prospective Ea patrons of the desirability of Last Dregs sustenance."
86,"TEXT_BANOMI003_04603_JAMMINGWAY_100_039","We'll search for potential customers in this vicinity. Can you ask around at the scary stone circle where everyone stares at the sky? Thanks in advance!"
87,"TEXT_BANOMI003_04603_N7000_000_040","Searching for key promotional features... <clunk> This unit regrets not installing marketing modules."
88,"TEXT_BANOMI003_04603_JAMMINGWAY_000_041","Come now─good food, new friends, and a hopeful ambiance are <Emphasis>obviously</Emphasis> our selling points!"
89,"TEXT_BANOMI003_04603_EAOMIA_000_042","The corporeal beings derive meaning from patronizing this “café,” you say? Felicitations."
90,"TEXT_BANOMI003_04603_EAOMIA_000_043","Personally, I have long since parted from such material concerns in favor of staring contemplatively into the abyss. To begin chasing hopes and dreams now would be to betray my very principles."
91,"TEXT_BANOMI003_04603_EAOMIA_100_043","If it is any comfort in your frivolous pursuits, know that I, too, likely once sought meaning─though I can no longer recall such a time. Now, if you will excuse me, there is much staring to be done."
92,"TEXT_BANOMI003_04603_EAOMIB_000_044","A venue for replenishment and discourse, you say? We once visited similar establishments.

93,"TEXT_BANOMI003_04603_EAOMIB_000_045","Your civilization is young, so perhaps you do not yet understand that one such location is more than enough. Even the most transcendent minds can only withstand so much vacuous discourse..."
94,"TEXT_BANOMI003_04603_EAOMIB_100_045","Further details of our restaurant's historical counterparts have been lost to the inexorable flow of time, so they cannot have been terribly important."

99,"TEXT_BANOMI003_04603_JAMMINGWAY_000_054","No─I refuse to give up. Their terrible attitudes are all the more reason to make them see the light!"

101,"TEXT_BANOMI003_04603_N7000_000_056","...Implicit threat acknowledged. Initializing joint operation protocols."
102,"TEXT_BANOMI003_04603_N7000_100_057","However, this unit also must acknowledge the non-zero probability of failure. In such a scenario, the odds of ever securing the patronage of the Ea and Nibirun must be revised to “hopeless.” Projections indicate that the business may not survive this outcome."
103,"TEXT_BANOMI003_04603_JAMMINGWAY_000_057","You're as bad as they are sometimes, do you know that?"
104,"TEXT_BANOMI003_04603_JAMMINGWAY_000_058","<Split(<Highlight>ObjectParameter(1)</Highlight>, ,1)/>, you mentioned that the Ea once offered you food, did you not? "
105,"TEXT_BANOMI003_04603_JAMMINGWAY_000_059","So they don't consider themselves beyond the concept of repast. There must be a way to build on that to make them understand..."

107,"TEXT_BANOMI003_04603_N7000_000_071","This unit will attempt to analyze Ea thought patterns for vulnerabilities."
108,"TEXT_BANOMI003_04603_NIBIRAENOMI_000_072","Indeed, why seek more than these malformed stelae? To those approaching the infinite, such an abode is enough."

4 0 TEXT_BANOMI003_04603_SEQ_00 N-7000 would laud you for your service to the café. ※The difficulty of this quest will be synced to your current level.
5 1 TEXT_BANOMI003_04603_SEQ_01 You speak with N-7000 and Jammingway, who commend you on your work with the Karellians and Grebuloffs. Never one to stand still when they could be dragging you around, however, Jammingway insists on taking you to visit the Last Dregs to see the current state of the café for yourself. ※Please note that the difficulty of this quest has been synced to your current level. Furthermore, you may not proceed with a class or job that is different from when you accepted this quest.
6 2 TEXT_BANOMI003_04603_SEQ_02 To say that all is not going as well as your colleagues anticipated would be an understatement, given that you arrive to find that Patron-005 and Patron-006─of the nihilistic Nibirun civilization─have triggered an existential crisis in one of the Omicron barkeeps. N-7000 steps in to prevent a complete system shutdown and is fortunately able to redirect Nibirun attentions to the other settlements of Ultima Thule for a time, but it is clear that making satisfied customers out of these individuals will be a monumental undertaking. Seeking a better source of emotional influence and potential custom, the three of you agree to try the Ea, instead.
7 3 TEXT_BANOMI003_04603_SEQ_03 You journey to the abode of the Ea, where Jammingway proposes dividing your forces in the hopes of striking upon a likely customer. As ordered, you direct your attention to the mysterious stone formation where members of the ethereal civilization seem to congregate.
8 4 TEXT_BANOMI003_04603_SEQ_04 Though you speak to two Ea, neither seems the least impressed by your offers of quality food and beverages. Perhaps Jammingway and N-7000 have had better luck─but probably not.
9 5 TEXT_BANOMI003_04603_SEQ_05 Indeed, your fellow Last Dregs managers have met with round dismissal at the spindly hands of the Ea. Having taken this all rather personally, Jammingway insists that you make another attempt to pique their curiosity─this time, together.
10 6 TEXT_BANOMI003_04603_SEQ_06 You speak again with the sophistic Ea, this time petitioning it to answer just a few questions. It has no objections─evidently, incessant questioning is something of a pastime among the Ea─and goes so far as to invite a friend to join in. Though the pair end up asking more questions than you do, your rousing discussion nevertheless manages to stimulate their desire to learn more of the gustatory sensations they may have once experienced. To this end, your fellow managers propose experimenting with various dishes to see if any resonate, and send you off in search of unfamiliar flavors.
11 7 TEXT_BANOMI003_04603_SEQ_07 Having delivered the necessary ingredients to N-7000, you gaze with trepidation upon the various dishes Jammingway has prepared. As your role as taste-tester demands, however, you bravely sample all that you can manage, providing gustatory data for N-7000 to pass along to the Ea. They are pleased─if slightly flummoxed─by the result, managing even to identify shellfish as a flavor their people may have once enjoyed. Curious to see if this has had any effect on the star, Jammingway leads the way to Elysion.
12 8 TEXT_BANOMI003_04603_SEQ_08 You arrive on Elysion to find it inhabited by new life─a species of jellyfish-like creatures matching naught real or reconstructed in N-7000's database. The Ea speculate that these creatures might be born of some long-lost memory of their infant forms, and dub them the “Miw Miisv” in hopes that they may unlock further insights into the corporeal Ea that once were.

53 49 TEXT_BANOMI003_04603_N7000_000_002 Current mission is proceeding─as audio records indicate your people would say─“swimmingly, hahaha.”
54 50 TEXT_BANOMI003_04603_JAMMINGWAY_000_003 We've learned much from the Karellians and Grebuloffs, and the Last Dregs is now the site of joyful cultural exchange. But don't take our word for it─come and see!
55 51 TEXT_BANOMI003_04603_Q9_000_000 Travel to the Last Dregs?
56 52 TEXT_BANOMI003_04603_N7000_000_010 Café status: moderately busy. Waiting times nominal.
57 53 TEXT_BANOMI003_04603_JAMMINGWAY_000_011 We should keep an eye on that one. They've already polished off three bowls of soup today.
58 54 TEXT_BANOMI003_04603_N7000_000_012 Well-fed Grebuloffs provide important mission data. Soup-related sacrifices must be made.
59 55 TEXT_BANOMI003_04603_JAMMINGWAY_000_013 Oho... You <Emphasis>like</Emphasis> making customers happy! Admit it!
60 56 TEXT_BANOMI003_04603_N7000_100_014 <whirr> This unit merely acknowledges customer satisfaction as more conducive to mission objectives than mutual hostility. Speaking of which, Patron-005 and Patron-006 should be closely monitored...
61 57 TEXT_BANOMI003_04603_JAMMINGWAY_000_014 Try to change the subject on me, will y─ Wait, who are Patron-005 and Patron-006?
62 58 TEXT_BANOMI003_04603_JAMMINGWAY_000_015 Hail, newcome patrons! I, Jammingway, would like to personally welcome you to the Last Dregs. Can you tell me a bit about your home star?
63 59 TEXT_BANOMI003_04603_NIBIRAENOMI_000_016 (-Ominous Figure-)......
64 60 TEXT_BANOMI003_04603_OMICRON04603_000_017 Analyzing metaphysical waveform... Nihilism protocols activated. <beep>... <beep>... <beeeeeep>
65 61 TEXT_BANOMI003_04603_NIBIRAENOMI_000_018 (-Ominous Figure-)It has shared in our truth and shed the self. This is well. The universe, too, is finite. Only in death may we embrace true infinity...
66 62 TEXT_BANOMI003_04603_JAMMINGWAY_000_019 Did you just assassinate my barista? Why would you do that!?
67 63 TEXT_BANOMI003_04603_N7000_000_020 <whirr> Situational analysis complete. New customers are of the Nibirun civilization. This society eliminated concepts deemed unpleasant by organic life-forms, such as “war” and “death.” In so doing, individuals attained physical immortality and a state of unified comprehension.
68 64 TEXT_BANOMI003_04603_N7000_100_020 Their projections were insufficient, however. The Nibirun people only realized that the elimination of strife would similarly destroy their sources of joy when it was too late. At that point, they jointly decided it would be preferable to return to nonexistence.
69 65 TEXT_BANOMI003_04603_N7000_000_021 Pardon this unit for a moment... Halting shutdown processes. Troubleshooter initialized. Repair features and self-determination algorithm restored.
70 66 TEXT_BANOMI003_04603_NIBIRAENOMI_000_022 Why have you returned this being to the finite? The golden mercy of Ra-la was so close at hand...
71 67 TEXT_BANOMI003_04603_JAMMINGWAY_000_023 Sweet Mother, this is terrifying! Cultural exchange be damned─we can't let them near the other patrons.
72 68 TEXT_BANOMI003_04603_N7000_000_024 On the contrary─this unit believes that exposure to other civilizations may benefit these customers, and invites them to tour the local simulations of dead worlds.
73 69 TEXT_BANOMI003_04603_NIBIRAENOMI_000_025 To be certain, the nature of other civilizations is a long-held curiosity of ours. It may be...interesting to discuss their inherent futility.
74 70 TEXT_BANOMI003_04603_N7000_000_026 That is “the spirit”! All societies in Ultima Thule are subject to unique manifestations of despair, so this unit recommends comparing each to the tragic perfection of the Nibirun.
75 71 TEXT_BANOMI003_04603_NIBIRAENOMI_000_027 We are in favor. To arrive at philosophical resonance with such beings will fill much time before blessed obliteration...
76 72 TEXT_BANOMI003_04603_Q1_000_000 What will you say?
77 73 TEXT_BANOMI003_04603_A1_000_001 ...What the hells?
78 74 TEXT_BANOMI003_04603_A1_000_002 I hope you have a plan to prevent this place from falling to despair.
79 75 TEXT_BANOMI003_04603_N7000_000_029 You have already demonstrated to the peoples of Ultima Thule that despair can be overcome. Projections indicate that, once restored, hope is not so easily extinguished.
80 76 TEXT_BANOMI003_04603_JAMMINGWAY_000_030 Hmm... So you think they'll be able to help each other, like you saved M-104 just now?
81 77 TEXT_BANOMI003_04603_JAMMINGWAY_100_030 I suppose I should be glad that they took you up on it. Those Nibirun make my fur stand on end! I don't want them anywhere near Elysion...
82 78 TEXT_BANOMI003_04603_JAMMINGWAY_000_031 It would be nice if we could cure them of their ennui, of course, but I cannot see how.
83 79 TEXT_BANOMI003_04603_N7000_000_032 <whirr> The Nibirun are the last dead civilization with sufficient data for replication. Should it prove impossible to turn them into satisfied customers, the probability of further developments on Elysion is low.
84 80 TEXT_BANOMI003_04603_JAMMINGWAY_000_033 Oooh, that is frustrating. Why must they be so much scarier than the other two? I retract my complaints about our soup budget.
85 81 TEXT_BANOMI003_04603_JAMMINGWAY_000_034 Well, what if we invite patrons from another civilization instead? The Ea, for instance.
86 82 TEXT_BANOMI003_04603_JAMMINGWAY_100_034 There is no reason we have to build <Emphasis>all</Emphasis> of our own customers, and they seem rather thoughtful. At the very least, it would make good practice in philosophical debate.
87 83 TEXT_BANOMI003_04603_N7000_000_035 This unit cannot guarantee that any amount of practice would prepare you to treat with the Nibirun. However, it agrees that inviting local life-forms to the Last Dregs would be good for business.
88 84 TEXT_BANOMI003_04603_JAMMINGWAY_000_038 I probably should have asked beforehand, but do the Ea have mouths? That seems a rather important detail in this context...
89 85 TEXT_BANOMI003_04603_N7000_000_039 Current objective: convince prospective Ea patrons of the desirability of Last Dregs sustenance.
90 86 TEXT_BANOMI003_04603_JAMMINGWAY_100_039 We'll search for potential customers in this vicinity. Can you ask around at the scary stone circle where everyone stares at the sky? Thanks in advance!
91 87 TEXT_BANOMI003_04603_N7000_000_040 Searching for key promotional features... <clunk> This unit regrets not installing marketing modules.
92 88 TEXT_BANOMI003_04603_JAMMINGWAY_000_041 Come now─good food, new friends, and a hopeful ambiance are <Emphasis>obviously</Emphasis> our selling points!
93 89 TEXT_BANOMI003_04603_EAOMIA_000_042 The corporeal beings derive meaning from patronizing this “café,” you say? Felicitations.
94 90 TEXT_BANOMI003_04603_EAOMIA_000_043 Personally, I have long since parted from such material concerns in favor of staring contemplatively into the abyss. To begin chasing hopes and dreams now would be to betray my very principles.
95 91 TEXT_BANOMI003_04603_EAOMIA_100_043 If it is any comfort in your frivolous pursuits, know that I, too, likely once sought meaning─though I can no longer recall such a time. Now, if you will excuse me, there is much staring to be done.
96 92 TEXT_BANOMI003_04603_EAOMIB_000_044 A venue for replenishment and discourse, you say? We once visited similar establishments. They are memorialized today through the existence of our “restaurant,” where we traditionalists gather to restore our aether and vent our petty miseries upon one another.
97 93 TEXT_BANOMI003_04603_EAOMIB_000_045 Your civilization is young, so perhaps you do not yet understand that one such location is more than enough. Even the most transcendent minds can only withstand so much vacuous discourse...
98 94 TEXT_BANOMI003_04603_EAOMIB_100_045 Further details of our restaurant's historical counterparts have been lost to the inexorable flow of time, so they cannot have been terribly important.
99 95 TEXT_BANOMI003_04603_JAMMINGWAY_000_050 Ugh... Must they all be so condescending?
100 96 TEXT_BANOMI003_04603_N7000_000_051 What is your report, <Split(<Highlight>ObjectParameter(1)</Highlight>, ,1)/>?
101 97 TEXT_BANOMI003_04603_JAMMINGWAY_000_052 One would think they could at least show a bit of respect to you, of all people! Out of self-preservation, if naught else...
102 98 TEXT_BANOMI003_04603_N7000_000_053 <whirr> The probability of further developments on Elysion is now infinitesimal.
103 99 TEXT_BANOMI003_04603_JAMMINGWAY_000_054 No─I refuse to give up. Their terrible attitudes are all the more reason to make them see the light!
104 100 TEXT_BANOMI003_04603_JAMMINGWAY_000_055 Between the three of us, we <Emphasis>will</Emphasis> get them to enjoy themselves!
105 101 TEXT_BANOMI003_04603_N7000_000_056 ...Implicit threat acknowledged. Initializing joint operation protocols.
106 102 TEXT_BANOMI003_04603_N7000_100_057 However, this unit also must acknowledge the non-zero probability of failure. In such a scenario, the odds of ever securing the patronage of the Ea and Nibirun must be revised to “hopeless.” Projections indicate that the business may not survive this outcome.
107 103 TEXT_BANOMI003_04603_JAMMINGWAY_000_057 You're as bad as they are sometimes, do you know that?
108 104 TEXT_BANOMI003_04603_JAMMINGWAY_000_058 <Split(<Highlight>ObjectParameter(1)</Highlight>, ,1)/>, you mentioned that the Ea once offered you food, did you not?
109 105 TEXT_BANOMI003_04603_JAMMINGWAY_000_059 So they don't consider themselves beyond the concept of repast. There must be a way to build on that to make them understand...
110 106 TEXT_BANOMI003_04603_JAMMINGWAY_000_070 The moment of truth...
111 107 TEXT_BANOMI003_04603_N7000_000_071 This unit will attempt to analyze Ea thought patterns for vulnerabilities.
112 108 TEXT_BANOMI003_04603_NIBIRAENOMI_000_072 Indeed, why seek more than these malformed stelae? To those approaching the infinite, such an abode is enough.
113 109 TEXT_BANOMI003_04603_EAOMIA_000_073 You interrupt my staring once again. Curious. Is this a physical compulsion?
114 110 TEXT_BANOMI003_04603_JAMMINGWAY_000_074 Er, no. We're simply seeking an enlightened opinion. You seem very...focused, so surely none would be better suited to answer a few questions.
115 111 TEXT_BANOMI003_04603_EAOMIA_000_075 ...I suppose that would be within the bounds of my principles─and as time is inherently meaningless, you will not cost me what might otherwise have mattered. Pray wait a moment, and I will see if other rationally minded individuals are interested in this diversion.
116 112 TEXT_BANOMI003_04603_JAMMINGWAY_000_076 Huzzah! I leave the debating to you, <Split(<Highlight>ObjectParameter(1)</Highlight>, ,1)/>─see if you can stimulate their inquiring minds enough to draw them to the café!
117 113 TEXT_BANOMI003_04603_SYSTEM_000_077 Objective: Choose the appropriate phrases to generate interest in the Last Dregs.
118 114 TEXT_BANOMI003_04603_SYSTEM_000_078 As the resulting pontification may take several minutes, you may wish to cancel any pending Duty Finder registrations.
119 115 TEXT_BANOMI003_04603_Q2_000_000 Attempt to stimulate the Ea?
120 116 TEXT_BANOMI003_04603_EAOMIA_000_079 Truly, there is naught like a rousing examination to take one's mind off the ceaseless torment of existence. Should we start with three hundred fifty thousand, one hundred and seventy-three questions or so? As is customary.
121 117 TEXT_BANOMI003_04603_JAMMINGWAY_000_080 Three hundred and fifty <Emphasis>thousand</Emphasis>!? I was thinking more in the neighborhood of three...
122 118 TEXT_BANOMI003_04603_EAOMIA_000_081 ...I see that in my cognitive agitation, I neglected to account for your base intellects. Carry on with your paltry queries, then.
123 119 TEXT_BANOMI003_04603_Q3_000_000 What will you ask?
124 120 TEXT_BANOMI003_04603_A3_000_001 Do you enjoy a good meal?
125 121 TEXT_BANOMI003_04603_A3_000_002 Do you have an interest in gustatory sensations?
126 122 TEXT_BANOMI003_04603_EAOMIA_000_083 Quite. Many traditionalists consume sustenance, and I partake in the occasional absorption of quality aether at the restaurant myself.
127 123 TEXT_BANOMI003_04603_EAOMIB_000_084 A transparent line of inquiry. We have little need of another restaurant─I told you as much already.
128 124 TEXT_BANOMI003_04603_JAMMINGWAY_000_085 Oh dear... I fear you misunderstand what we mean by the term! The food at the Last Dregs offers an entirely different experience than aetherial absorption, I assure you.
129 125 TEXT_BANOMI003_04603_N7000_000_086 This unit fears the question may have been excessively simplistic. Data on the Ea indicates a clear preference for mental stimulation via theoretical concepts.
130 126 TEXT_BANOMI003_04603_EAOMIA_000_087 We long ago abandoned the pursuit of gustatory sensations. Though we yet consume aether to sustain ourselves, we do not experience any particular sensation beyond the satiation of hunger.
131 127 TEXT_BANOMI003_04603_EAOMIB_000_088 That is perfectly sufficient. Though I am curious─you indicated that many beings gather to consume sustenance at your “café.” Do these beings experience gustatory sensations in unison? Does this not confuse and upset them?
132 128 TEXT_BANOMI003_04603_JAMMINGWAY_000_089 Quite the opposite! Taste is key to customer satisfaction─and our customers are very satisfied, I assure you.
133 129 TEXT_BANOMI003_04603_N7000_100_090 <whirr> Curiosity detected. This unit concludes that your question piqued their interest.
134 130 TEXT_BANOMI003_04603_EAOMIA_100_091 The diminutive being suggests that gustatory sensations are a primary consideration for your establishment. Biologically, however, these are naught more than a secondary mechanism to prevent primitive organisms from starving to death. Explain this contradiction.
135 131 TEXT_BANOMI003_04603_Q4_000_000 What will you say?
136 132 TEXT_BANOMI003_04603_A4_000_001 Biology is not the only determinant of a good life, you know.
137 133 TEXT_BANOMI003_04603_A4_000_002 Perhaps to truly comprehend our argument requires tasting for yourselves...
138 134 TEXT_BANOMI003_04603_EAOMIA_100_093 Is it your contention that regardless of their evolutionary purpose, gustatory sensations provide intangible─perhaps psychological or spiritual─benefits? Intriguing...
139 135 TEXT_BANOMI003_04603_EAOMIB_100_094 ...But ultimately unconvincing, if your aim remains to entice us to your “café.” The perception of sustenance is necessarily determined by the nature of one's gustatory and olfactory organs, so to assume that all beings would experience the same positive outcomes is preposterous.
140 136 TEXT_BANOMI003_04603_JAMMINGWAY_100_095 That is true. Nevertheless...
141 137 TEXT_BANOMI003_04603_N7000_100_096 Intellectual stimulation is present, but curiosity levels are not yet critical. This unit proposes additional discourse.
142 138 TEXT_BANOMI003_04603_EAOMIA_100_097 ...Perhaps. It is conceivable that, having dispensed with our corporeal vessels, a prolonged absence of sensations experienced by way of the nervous system has limited our imaginations to a degree.
143 139 TEXT_BANOMI003_04603_EAOMIB_100_098 If only we had possessed the forethought to record our gustatory perceptions for posterity... An unfortunate oversight, to be certain.
144 140 TEXT_BANOMI003_04603_JAMMINGWAY_100_099 Yet not an insurmountable one! If you were to visit the Last Dregs, we could help you reclaim some of the knowledge that was lost.
145 141 TEXT_BANOMI003_04603_N7000_100_100 <whirr> Enticement detected... This unit proposes following this conversational trajectory to its natural terminus.
146 142 TEXT_BANOMI003_04603_EAOMIA_000_101 Though I acknowledge that there is some logic to your argument, we are perhaps at an impasse, given our forms' lack of physicality. Nevertheless, I am curious to know what manner of “taste” you would present us with, had we gustatory organs.
147 143 TEXT_BANOMI003_04603_Q5_000_000 What will you say?
148 144 TEXT_BANOMI003_04603_A5_000_001 The best taste in all of Ultima Thule─nay, the universe!
149 145 TEXT_BANOMI003_04603_A5_000_002 A taste of your former lives as corporeal beings, perhaps.
150 146 TEXT_BANOMI003_04603_EAOMIA_100_103 A disappointing─though unsurprising─suggestion. Perhaps your intellect simply lacks the capacity to understand that physical perceptions are subjective and therefore fallible...
151 147 TEXT_BANOMI003_04603_EAOMIB_100_104 Even allowing for the possibility of a “best taste” regardless of culture and individual gustatory perception, I am unconvinced of the benefit of this knowledge. If we longed for ultimately meaningless physical experiences, we would not have done away with our corporeal forms.
152 148 TEXT_BANOMI003_04603_JAMMINGWAY_100_105 But you do acknowledge the <Emphasis>existence</Emphasis> of meaningful experiences. What do you long for, then?
153 149 TEXT_BANOMI003_04603_N7000_100_106 Based on past data, this unit suggests that altering the menu to suit the civilization in question would be prudent.
154 150 TEXT_BANOMI003_04603_EAOMIA_100_107 Indeed, it is rational to assume that as corporeal beings with unique gustatory organs, we too once found certain sensations particularly stimulating.
155 151 TEXT_BANOMI003_04603_EAOMIB_100_108 If your “café” is capable of providing knowledge of such long-lost sensations, we would welcome the experience.
156 152 TEXT_BANOMI003_04603_JAMMINGWAY_100_109 If anyone can do it, we can! We've served a variety of civilizations already─with great success, I might add.
157 153 TEXT_BANOMI003_04603_N7000_100_110 <whirr> Operational success imminent. Allied units must remain engaging for critical final phase.
158 154 TEXT_BANOMI003_04603_EAOMIA_000_111 The preparation of historically accurate sustenance will be no simple task, yet the hirsute being insists on accomplishing it. Is this compulsion intrinsically or extrinsically motivated?
159 155 TEXT_BANOMI003_04603_Q6_000_000 What will you say?
160 156 TEXT_BANOMI003_04603_A6_000_001 My journal does suggest that making you happy will help progress my current quest...
161 157 TEXT_BANOMI003_04603_A6_000_002 It is our deepest and most heartfelt desire to see hope restored to the universe.
162 158 TEXT_BANOMI003_04603_EAOMIA_000_113 ...And increases in customer satisfaction lead to positive changes in the nearby dynamis? How...mathematically sound.
163 159 TEXT_BANOMI003_04603_EAOMIB_000_114 I see now that this was all a game to you. That is fair enough, given my own reasons for participation...yet this behavior is quite unlike the primitive organic beings of our records. I grow increasingly uncertain of your ability to fulfill our desires.
164 160 TEXT_BANOMI003_04603_JAMMINGWAY_000_115 Our wish to recreate the Ea's favorite flavors is extremely organic, I swear! Primitive, even!
165 161 TEXT_BANOMI003_04603_N7000_000_116 Though the Ea delight in logical argument, acknowledgment of their place as gears in an unfeeling machine of progress has distressed them. Analysis indicates their expectations of allied units have been dampened by this display of cold rationality.
166 162 TEXT_BANOMI003_04603_EAOMIA_000_117 How very primitive of you! Very well, I am convinced that your establishment will offer an authentic experience of the shackles of the flesh.
167 163 TEXT_BANOMI003_04603_EAOMIB_000_118 “Heartfelt,” it says! How charmingly irrational. Nary a mention of the tangible impact our hope would have on the surrounding dynamis.
168 164 TEXT_BANOMI003_04603_JAMMINGWAY_000_119 There are those too, of course─but most of all, what we want is for our patrons to enjoy themselves!
169 165 TEXT_BANOMI003_04603_N7000_000_120 <whirr> This unit does not disagree with the assessment of organic life-forms as “primitive,” though it is rich in irony given the irrationality on display at present.
170 166 TEXT_BANOMI003_04603_N7000_000_121 In any case, mission objective complete. Allied units' performance will be logged as “optimal.”
171 167 TEXT_BANOMI003_04603_N7000_000_122 In any case, mission objective complete. Allied units' performance will be logged as “capable.”
172 168 TEXT_BANOMI003_04603_N7000_000_123 In any case, mission objective complete. Allied units' performance will be logged as “mostly acceptable.”
173 169 TEXT_BANOMI003_04603_EAOMIA_000_124 ...We see that you indeed had few questions. When may we partake in sensory experiences?
174 170 TEXT_BANOMI003_04603_JAMMINGWAY_000_125 Well, first we will need to prepare a full course for gustatory experimentation...
175 171 TEXT_BANOMI003_04603_EAOMIB_000_127 Experimentation, you say! That sounds most agreeable.
176 172 TEXT_BANOMI003_04603_N7000_000_128 If this unit may suggest it, <Split(<Highlight>ObjectParameter(1)</Highlight>, ,1)/>'s flesh would make a suitable medium.
177 173 TEXT_BANOMI003_04603_JAMMINGWAY_000_129 Oh, I quite agree. No one has tasted more tastes than the intrepid <Split(<Highlight>ObjectParameter(1)</Highlight>, ,1)/>.
178 174 TEXT_BANOMI003_04603_JAMMINGWAY_000_130 <If(PlayerParameter(4))>Her<Else/>His</If> palate is refined, and <If(PlayerParameter(4))>her<Else/>his</If> bravery unmatched!
179 175 TEXT_BANOMI003_04603_JAMMINGWAY_000_131 <If(PlayerParameter(4))>She<Else/>He</If> will be the perfect candidate to try any and all dishes we prepare. Then you need only scan and transmit the sensory perception data to the Ea's consciousnesses.
180 176 TEXT_BANOMI003_04603_JAMMINGWAY_000_132 It is unclear, at present, what their people may have eaten in their corporeal days, but we can begin by finding out what sort of tastes they enjoy, then refine the recipe from there.
181 177 TEXT_BANOMI003_04603_JAMMINGWAY_000_133 Regardless, we shall need to fire up the ovens immediately! Last I checked our inventory, the kitchens are well stocked with vegetables, fish, and Sharlayan cookbooks...
182 178 TEXT_BANOMI003_04603_N7000_000_134 The probability that the Ea's historical diet was identical to that of the life-forms of Etheirys is astronomically low. This unit proposes incorporating ingredients from other worlds as well.
183 179 TEXT_BANOMI003_04603_N7000_000_135 Scanning “flavorsome” category for ingredient data...
184 180 TEXT_BANOMI003_04603_N7000_000_136 <ping> Calcite deposits near the ship <Emphasis>Ragnarok</Emphasis> may contain mineral content suitable for use as an additive. Data indicates that organic life-forms love additives.
185 181 TEXT_BANOMI003_04603_N7000_000_137 <ping> Flora near the vitrified fort may contain content suitable for use as “seasoning.” Data indicates that organic life-forms love seasonings.
186 182 TEXT_BANOMI003_04603_N7000_000_138 <ping> An aquatic life-form similar to Etheirys's tuna can be found in this very settlement. Data indicates that this creature is particularly pungent and may be useful in stocks.
187 183 TEXT_BANOMI003_04603_N7000_000_139 This unit once again recommends the highly affordable gold salmon roe available in A-4 Research as materiel for this operation.
188 184 TEXT_BANOMI003_04603_JAMMINGWAY_000_140 Don't hesitate to taste test in the field!
189 185 TEXT_BANOMI003_04603_N7000_000_142 Remaining allied units should proceed to the Last Dregs for recipe analysis. This unit will answer any further customer questions.
190 186 TEXT_BANOMI003_04603_JAMMINGWAY_000_150 Don't worry─I'm certain that N-7000 would speak up if you were about to eat anything that might be lethal.
191 187 TEXT_BANOMI003_04603_EAOMIA_000_151 Gustatory perception...how exciting! Are these beings seated in anticipation of the sensations overwhelming their fragile nervous systems?
192 188 TEXT_BANOMI003_04603_EAOMIB_000_152 To think that we can finally reclaim the sensations of our fleshy past...
193 189 TEXT_BANOMI003_04603_N7000_000_153 <whirr> The Ea have thus far asked 81,120 questions. This unit can feel the last remnant of its patience slipping...
194 190 TEXT_BANOMI003_04603_N7000_000_154 A timely rescue. Chemical composition of ingredients within expected parameters.
195 191 TEXT_BANOMI003_04603_JAMMINGWAY_000_155 Then let the experimentation begin!
196 192 TEXT_BANOMI003_04603_JAMMINGWAY_000_156 Not half bad, if I do say so myself. Dig in, <Split(<Highlight>ObjectParameter(1)</Highlight>, ,1)/>!
197 193 TEXT_BANOMI003_04603_N7000_000_157 Initializing progressive scan of gustatory inputs...
198 194 TEXT_BANOMI003_04603_Q7_000_000 What will you eat?
199 195 TEXT_BANOMI003_04603_A7_000_001 The perfectly ordinary pasta.
200 196 TEXT_BANOMI003_04603_A7_000_002 The seemingly innocuous hamburger.
201 197 TEXT_BANOMI003_04603_A7_000_003 The vaguely terrifying fish.
202 198 TEXT_BANOMI003_04603_A7_000_004 No more...
203 199 TEXT_BANOMI003_04603_SYSTEM_000_159 The pasta is not unlike that of Etheirys, although the otherworldly flavor adds a tang of complexity. As for the Ea...surely any gluten-tolerant life-form enjoys a massive bowl of carbohydrates?
204 200 TEXT_BANOMI003_04603_SYSTEM_000_160 You are struck with a sudden certainty that Jammingway either borrowed or stole this recipe from the Last Stand, although the locally sourced flavoring adds an unexpected spiciness to the medium-rare meat inside. Your tongue is now tingly.
205 201 TEXT_BANOMI003_04603_SYSTEM_000_161 Was that fish staring into your soul just now? Hopefully not. In any case, its pallid flesh must have thoroughly absorbed the added alien flavor. You certainly tasted...something.
206 202 TEXT_BANOMI003_04603_N7000_000_162 Gustatory data received. Transmitting to Patron-007 and Patron-008...
207 203 TEXT_BANOMI003_04603_EAOMIA_000_163 So these are the “flavors” of which you speak...
208 204 TEXT_BANOMI003_04603_EAOMIA_000_164 Thank you for helpfully categorizing each as “sweet,” “salty,” “sour,” “bitter,” or “savory”─I fear I am quite overcome by the medley.
209 205 TEXT_BANOMI003_04603_EAOMIA_000_165 It is impossible to say whether this sensory assault is identical to what I might have once felt when consuming sustenance...yet it is a useful reference to ruminate upon nevertheless.
210 206 TEXT_BANOMI003_04603_JAMMINGWAY_000_166 Then it was well worth the effort, in my book!
211 207 TEXT_BANOMI003_04603_JAMMINGWAY_000_167 Tell me, did any of the dishes strike you as particularly enjoyable?
212 208 TEXT_BANOMI003_04603_EAOMIB_000_168 The first stimulated me in a most pleasing fashion. How was this flavor derived?
213 209 TEXT_BANOMI003_04603_JAMMINGWAY_000_169 Ah, that was flavored with local ingredients harvested by <Split(<Highlight>ObjectParameter(1)</Highlight>, ,1)/>, garnished with powdered miracle shrimp─a type of crustacean the Grebuloffs are farming in Elysion.
214 210 TEXT_BANOMI003_04603_EAOMIB_000_170 Pulverized crustaceans! The nature of gustatory sensations is inscrutable indeed...
215 211 TEXT_BANOMI003_04603_EAOMIA_000_171 That we found these ones pleasing perhaps indicates that we, too, once consumed mutilated decapods.
216 212 TEXT_BANOMI003_04603_EAOMIA_000_172 I cannot imagine why we would have left that behind. I am grateful to have even simulated the experience.
217 213 TEXT_BANOMI003_04603_JAMMINGWAY_000_173 ...And there we have it. Do you think this will be enough to bring about more changes to Elysion?
218 214 TEXT_BANOMI003_04603_N7000_000_174 Inconclusive. This unit proposes that allied units ascend to scan for signs of change.
219 215 TEXT_BANOMI003_04603_Q8_000_000 Travel to A-4 Research?
220 216 TEXT_BANOMI003_04603_JAMMINGWAY_000_176 I'm quite curious about what changes to the terrain might come of the Ea's emotions. As a people, they do tend toward the abstract...
221 217 TEXT_BANOMI003_04603_N7000_000_175 Stigma-4 confirms that alterations have occurred. Let us proceed with the scan.
222 218 TEXT_BANOMI003_04603_JAMMINGWAY_000_090 These creatures certainly weren't here before...but what are they? They put me in mind of Etheirys's jellyfish.
223 219 TEXT_BANOMI003_04603_N7000_000_091 <whirr> No results found in database. Furthermore, these life-forms differ from the simulations in Ultima Thule on a molecular level.
224 220 TEXT_BANOMI003_04603_JAMMINGWAY_000_092 You mean...a new species has been born? Here?
225 221 TEXT_BANOMI003_04603_N7000_000_093 Is it so illogical? Elysion's climate is suitable for the growth of complex vegetation, and a significant portion of its surface is occupied by sea. Many life-forms have arisen from similar environments.
226 222 TEXT_BANOMI003_04603_N7000_000_094 This unit would venture that under these conditions, the Ea's yearning for a corporeal past were sufficient to cause dynamis to coalesce as organic life.
227 223 TEXT_BANOMI003_04603_JAMMINGWAY_000_095 That's incredible! New life...
228 224 TEXT_BANOMI003_04603_MIW04603_000_096 (-Jellyfish Creature-)Mimimi? <burble>
229 225 TEXT_BANOMI003_04603_JAMMINGWAY_000_097 ...And such very adorable life you are! Yes, you are!
230 226 TEXT_BANOMI003_04603_EAOMIA_000_098 Like unto newborn babes...or so I assume. Eons have passed since we Ea have held a child.
231 227 TEXT_BANOMI003_04603_EAOMIB_000_099 Yet is it not conceivable that some part of us remembers? If these creatures arose from our fondness for the past...
232 228 TEXT_BANOMI003_04603_EAOMIA_000_100 ...They may indeed be the nascent forms mentioned in our ancient records.
233 229 TEXT_BANOMI003_04603_JAMMINGWAY_000_101 I do see a certain resemblance. Would you like to give these little ones a name, then?
234 230 TEXT_BANOMI003_04603_EAOMIB_100_102 We lost the meaning to our names long ago, leaving us only the simple phonemic system we now employ for individuals. The suggestion that we might impart the significance of these children via nomenclature is depressingly ludicrous.
235 231 TEXT_BANOMI003_04603_EAOMIB_100_103 ...Nevertheless, we shall call them “Miw Miisv.” A peculiar name to share, perhaps, but one we may find the meaning in together.
236 232 TEXT_BANOMI003_04603_JAMMINGWAY_100_104 I cannot spell that to save my life, but it sounds lovely!
237 233 TEXT_BANOMI003_04603_BANOMIA_000_102 I should like to remain with the Miw Miisv for a time. They doubtless know much of gustatory sensation and other such facets of corporeality.
238 234 TEXT_BANOMI003_04603_BANOMIA_000_103 In serving as their guardians, we may yet reclaim some of what was lost...
239 235 TEXT_BANOMI003_04603_SYSTEM_000_104 New life has arisen from the Ea's longing. Nurture and protect the Miw Miisv, for they have much to share.
240 236 TEXT_BANOMI003_04603_SYSTEM_000_105 There is yet room for Elysion to grow and change. What other hopes will the power of dynamis bring to life?
241 237 TEXT_BANOMI003_04603_JAMMINGWAY_000_200 It will be a great deal more difficult to focus with those creatures about... They're so wibbly-wobbly!
242 238 TEXT_BANOMI003_04603_N7000_000_201 <whirr> This unit requests you contain yourself. Energy levels are already low due to patrons' ceaseless querying.
243 239 TEXT_BANOMI003_04603_N7000_000_204 However, this unit does admit to curiosity regarding the new life-forms.
244 240 TEXT_BANOMI003_04603_N7000_000_205 Though it is probable that the Miw Miisv share data with the Ea's genetic memory, possibilities for their development are infinite. This differentiates them from other dynamis-based life-forms.
245 241 TEXT_BANOMI003_04603_JAMMINGWAY_000_206 Or maybe they're just one more indication that you lot aren't doomed after all. This place was built for endings, it's true, but we have seen many a beginning. Let's keep that trend going, shall we?
246 242 TEXT_BANOMI003_04603_N7000_000_207 Affirmative. Our mission remains one constant among many variables.
