1,"TEXT_CHRHDB821_04641_SEQ_01","In full knowledge of the fact that hijinks of subjective hilarity will ensure, you engage Nashu in conversation, who proceeds to regale you with her theory that Inspector Hildibrand has, in fact, been spirited away to the moon─a lead she attributes to the quote-unquote journalism of <Emphasis>The Thavnairian Truth</Emphasis>. Hoping to follow in the footsteps of Dorian, the editor in chief, as he chases his story into the heavens above, the irrepressible Nashu insists that you accompany her to Garlemald and its not-so-secret lunar portal."
2,"TEXT_CHRHDB821_04641_SEQ_02","After arriving in Camp Broken Glass, a shivering Nashu asks for the location of the portal in question. She trudges off in the direction of the Tower of Babil, and once again, in contravention of common sense, you feel compelled to follow."
3,"TEXT_CHRHDB821_04641_SEQ_03","In the Enceladeum you come upon an exasperated Delion attempting to convince the gatekeeper to allow him passage. Although you make no particular attempt to vouch for his character, the guard decides that Delion is sufficiently enmeshed in your efforts to find the abducted Hildibrand that special dispensation is warranted. Lucky you. Your party, now a mismatched trio, is free to proceed through the Nethergate..."
4,"TEXT_CHRHDB821_04641_SEQ_04","While Nashu admires the shiny white and decidedly inedible surface of the moon, Delion spies what he declares a “forward base.” You follow the alien-obsessed editor into the building, only to find him not-quite-speechless at the sight of the watcher and a visiting Loporrit. Although rightfully concerned by Delion's conspiracy-laden outbursts, the Loporrit nevertheless agrees to escort you to Bestways Burrow, where you can continue to gather information on the inspector's possible whereabouts."
5,"TEXT_CHRHDB821_04641_SEQ_05","Delion is, for a few blessed moments, stricken dumb by the sight of the burrow's expansive facilities. Alas, he recovers in time to join you and Nashu in questioning the local Loporrits.
※You must be accompanied by Nashu and Delion to complete this task. Speak with either of them again should you become separated."
6,"TEXT_CHRHDB821_04641_SEQ_06","You interrogate a languid Loporrit, but learn nothing of value. Perhaps another of his brethren has more information to share.
※You must be accompanied by Nashu and Delion to complete this task. Speak with either of them again should you become separated."
7,"TEXT_CHRHDB821_04641_SEQ_07","The Loporrit promoter has seen many an unusual visitor...but none of them appear to have been the inspector. Third bunny's the charm?
※You must be accompanied by Nashu and Delion to complete this task. Speak with either of them again should you become separated."
8,"TEXT_CHRHDB821_04641_SEQ_08","Weavingway has no recollection of a gentleman in ragged clothes, but did spot an unidentified object flying in the south of Mare Lamentorum. As the incessant theorizing of Delion fades into background noise, you head outside to follow this most promising lead."
9,"TEXT_CHRHDB821_04641_SEQ_09","You catch sight of your shiny quarry and race off in pursuit, only stopping when you find a familiar pair of legs sticking up out of the ground. Then you spot another pair. And another. As if someone had sowed a field of inverted gentlemen. The Hildibrands free themselves, and, following a brief festival of masculinity, the alien vessel returns to reap the Mandervillian harvest─with extreme prejudice. Thankfully, the original Hildibrand is returned to you unharmed shortly thereafter by the craft's pilot─a short, blue, bipedal creature introduced to you as “Master PuPu.” Through the inspector's explanation and the impeccable timing of the Echo, you piece together the extraterrestrial's story, learning that PuPu has come from a distant star in search of his own missing comrade. In words that lean dangerously close to becoming a catchphrase, the impassioned Inspector Hildibrand vows to solve this latest case."
10,"TEXT_CHRHDB821_04641_SEQ_10","Your ability to communicate with PuPu has earned you the admiration of Hildibrand...and the unnerving attentions of Delion. If naught else, the new case in which you find yourself embroiled promises to be equal parts eventful and ludicrous indeed."

50,"TEXT_CHRHDB821_04641_NASHUMHAKARACCA_000_002","I gave it a good scrub first, of course. Being the gentleman that he is, I'm sure the inspector wouldn't want to leave any lingering spiritual odors."

63,"TEXT_CHRHDB821_04641_A3_000_002","We shouldn't be so quick to trust the nonsensical ramblings of a man who sees aliens in every shadow."
64,"TEXT_CHRHDB821_04641_NASHUMHAKARACCA_000_010","But an alien <Emphasis>did</Emphasis> steal away the inspector, just like Dorian said! I, for one, have faith in his journalistic intensity."
65,"TEXT_CHRHDB821_04641_NASHUMHAKARACCA_000_011","And even if it wasn't an alien, that funny little ship did look like it was heading moonwards. Wouldn't you agree?"

67,"TEXT_CHRHDB821_04641_NASHUMHAKARACCA_000_013","I don't know what the weather is like on the moon, but I remember Garlemald being a bit chilly the last time I was there..."

88,"TEXT_CHRHDB821_04641_LENTESTEARSGATEKEEPER_000_043","Well, that certainly sounds like an emergency to me! Your “acquaintance” here seems sincere in his desire to help, so I will grant him special dispensation to accompany you just this once. You may proceed to the Nethergate."
89,"TEXT_CHRHDB821_04641_DELION_000_044","Mysterious forces have thrust us together, and though I trust the fates about as much as I trust that obviously compromised gate guard, I will leave no moonstone unturned. The truth is up there!"

5 1 TEXT_CHRHDB821_04641_SEQ_01 In full knowledge of the fact that hijinks of subjective hilarity will ensure, you engage Nashu in conversation, who proceeds to regale you with her theory that Inspector Hildibrand has, in fact, been spirited away to the moon─a lead she attributes to the quote-unquote journalism of <Emphasis>The Thavnairian Truth</Emphasis>. Hoping to follow in the footsteps of Dorian, the editor in chief, as he chases his story into the heavens above, the irrepressible Nashu insists that you accompany her to Garlemald and its not-so-secret lunar portal.
6 2 TEXT_CHRHDB821_04641_SEQ_02 After arriving in Camp Broken Glass, a shivering Nashu asks for the location of the portal in question. She trudges off in the direction of the Tower of Babil, and once again, in contravention of common sense, you feel compelled to follow.
7 3 TEXT_CHRHDB821_04641_SEQ_03 In the Enceladeum you come upon an exasperated Delion attempting to convince the gatekeeper to allow him passage. Although you make no particular attempt to vouch for his character, the guard decides that Delion is sufficiently enmeshed in your efforts to find the abducted Hildibrand that special dispensation is warranted. Lucky you. Your party, now a mismatched trio, is free to proceed through the Nethergate...
8 4 TEXT_CHRHDB821_04641_SEQ_04 While Nashu admires the shiny white and decidedly inedible surface of the moon, Delion spies what he declares a “forward base.” You follow the alien-obsessed editor into the building, only to find him not-quite-speechless at the sight of the watcher and a visiting Loporrit. Although rightfully concerned by Delion's conspiracy-laden outbursts, the Loporrit nevertheless agrees to escort you to Bestways Burrow, where you can continue to gather information on the inspector's possible whereabouts.
9 5 TEXT_CHRHDB821_04641_SEQ_05 Delion is, for a few blessed moments, stricken dumb by the sight of the burrow's expansive facilities.

12 8 TEXT_CHRHDB821_04641_SEQ_08 Weavingway has no recollection of a gentleman in ragged clothes, but did spot an unidentified object flying in the south of Mare Lamentorum. As the incessant theorizing of Delion fades into background noise, you head outside to follow this most promising lead.
13 9 TEXT_CHRHDB821_04641_SEQ_09 You catch sight of your shiny quarry and race off in pursuit, only stopping when you find a familiar pair of legs sticking up out of the ground.

Thankfully, the original Hildibrand is returned to you unharmed shortly thereafter by the craft's pilot─a short, blue, bipedal creature introduced to you as “Master PuPu.” Through the inspector's explanation and the impeccable timing of the Echo, you piece together the extraterrestrial's story, learning that PuPu has come from a distant star in search of his own missing comrade. In words that lean dangerously close to becoming a catchphrase, the impassioned Inspector Hildibrand vows to solve this latest case.
14 10 TEXT_CHRHDB821_04641_SEQ_10 Your ability to communicate with PuPu has earned you the admiration of Hildibrand...and the unnerving attentions of Delion. If naught else, the new case in which you find yourself embroiled promises to be equal parts eventful and ludicrous indeed.

53 49 TEXT_CHRHDB821_04641_NASHUMHAKARACCA_000_001 Before we get into the details, though, I should give you back your soul container.
54 50 TEXT_CHRHDB821_04641_NASHUMHAKARACCA_000_002 I gave it a good scrub first, of course. Being the gentleman that he is, I'm sure the inspector wouldn't want to leave any lingering spiritual odors.
55 51 TEXT_CHRHDB821_04641_NASHUMHAKARACCA_000_003 There. Now you can listen to my findings without having distracting thoughts like, “When is Nashu going to give me back my soul container?”
56 52 TEXT_CHRHDB821_04641_NASHUMHAKARACCA_000_004 Now, as for the lead I mentioned─I was thumbing through a periodical and found an article on “alien abduction”!
57 53 TEXT_CHRHDB821_04641_NASHUMHAKARACCA_000_005 The way it was described was almost exactly what happened to the inspector...it even had a little diagram of a man swimming in midair. Anyway, the author seemed convinced that the victim had been taken to the moon!
58 54 TEXT_CHRHDB821_04641_Q2_000_000 What will you say?
59 55 TEXT_CHRHDB821_04641_A2_000_001 This crackpot theory sounds awfully familiar...
60 56 TEXT_CHRHDB821_04641_A2_000_002 Why does this sound like the kind of rubbish <Emphasis>The Thavnairian Truth</Emphasis> publishes...?
61 57 TEXT_CHRHDB821_04641_NASHUMHAKARACCA_000_006 That's because it is! You remember Dorian, the editor in briefs? He was the one who wrote it!
62 58 TEXT_CHRHDB821_04641_NASHUMHAKARACCA_000_007 And he plans on doing research for the next edition on the moon itself. Apparently there's a portal or something in Garlemald that will take you straight there?
63 59 TEXT_CHRHDB821_04641_NASHUMHAKARACCA_000_008 Oh, but a world-hopping adventurer like you must've been to the moon already! Know it like the back of your hand, I bet?
64 60 TEXT_CHRHDB821_04641_NASHUMHAKARACCA_000_009 I thought so! It'll be nice to have an expert guide up there to help me search for clues. What say you?
65 61 TEXT_CHRHDB821_04641_Q3_000_000 What will you say?
66 62 TEXT_CHRHDB821_04641_A3_000_001 To the moon, Nashu!
67 63 TEXT_CHRHDB821_04641_A3_000_002 We shouldn't be so quick to trust the nonsensical ramblings of a man who sees aliens in every shadow.
68 64 TEXT_CHRHDB821_04641_NASHUMHAKARACCA_000_010 But an alien <Emphasis>did</Emphasis> steal away the inspector, just like Dorian said! I, for one, have faith in his journalistic intensity.
69 65 TEXT_CHRHDB821_04641_NASHUMHAKARACCA_000_011 And even if it wasn't an alien, that funny little ship did look like it was heading moonwards. Wouldn't you agree?
70 66 TEXT_CHRHDB821_04641_NASHUMHAKARACCA_000_012 Right! I'll start packing my bags!
71 67 TEXT_CHRHDB821_04641_NASHUMHAKARACCA_000_013 I don't know what the weather is like on the moon, but I remember Garlemald being a bit chilly the last time I was there...
72 68 TEXT_CHRHDB821_04641_NASHUMHAKARACCA_000_020 Oh, it's m-much, much colder than I r-remembered. I sure hope this lunar gate is close...
73 69 TEXT_CHRHDB821_04641_NASHUMHAKARACCA_000_021 The “Tower of Babble”? You mean that big, spiky spire?
74 70 TEXT_CHRHDB821_04641_NASHUMHAKARACCA_000_022 Well, we definitely shouldn't get lost on the way there! Let's get moving!
75 71 TEXT_CHRHDB821_04641_NASHUMHAKARACCA_000_030 So, uh, this thing'll send us up to the moon, just like that? Courage, Nashu...
76 72 TEXT_CHRHDB821_04641_DELION_000_031 (-???-)The world is in grave danger and the people deserve to know! I have to reach the moon so I can expose the truth!
77 73 TEXT_CHRHDB821_04641_LENTESTEARSGATEKEEPER_000_032 As I have explained to you twice already, I can only allow passage to authorized travelers. Which you are not.
78 74 TEXT_CHRHDB821_04641_DELION_000_000 Ah! You're with <Emphasis>them</Emphasis>, aren't you!? The aliens have infiltrated every layer of our society...
79 75 TEXT_CHRHDB821_04641_LENTESTEARSGATEKEEPER_000_033 What in blazes are you talking about? I'm Dalmascan, born and raised...
80 76 TEXT_CHRHDB821_04641_NASHUMHAKARACCA_000_034 Oh, look! It's Dorian! The editor in briefs!
81 77 TEXT_CHRHDB821_04641_DELION_000_035 That's “Delion, editor in chief,” thank you very much. And you were friends of the abducted, I believe...?
82 78 TEXT_CHRHDB821_04641_LENTESTEARSGATEKEEPER_000_036 <Split(<Highlight>ObjectParameter(1)</Highlight>, ,1)/>, greetings. Are you acquainted with this man, by any chance?
83 79 TEXT_CHRHDB821_04641_Q4_000_000 What will you say?
84 80 TEXT_CHRHDB821_04641_A4_000_001 He exposited in my direction. Once.
85 81 TEXT_CHRHDB821_04641_A4_000_002 No, nor am I affiliated with him in any way, shape, or form.
86 82 TEXT_CHRHDB821_04641_LENTESTEARSGATEKEEPER_000_037 And that was enough, I'd wager. He has “trouble” written all over him...
87 83 TEXT_CHRHDB821_04641_LENTESTEARSGATEKEEPER_000_038 I wouldn't think so. He doesn't seem the kind of company a hero like you would keep...
88 84 TEXT_CHRHDB821_04641_NASHUMHAKARACCA_000_039 But, <Split(<Highlight>ObjectParameter(1)</Highlight>, ,1)/>, aren't you forgetting that whole conversation we had with Dorian back in Radz–at–Han?
89 85 TEXT_CHRHDB821_04641_DELION_000_040 <Split(<Highlight>ObjectParameter(1)</Highlight>, ,1)/>? As in <Highlight>ObjectParameter(1)</Highlight>─Slayer of Gods, Savior of Ishgard, Liberator of the Provinces, Stealer of Pants!? How did I fail to recognize such an unbelievably famous individual!
90 86 TEXT_CHRHDB821_04641_DELION_000_041 As a champion of the people, you have a duty to lead us through this fact-strangling checkpoint! We cannot let your comrade's abduction go unsolved! He needs you! And the world needs my next article!
91 87 TEXT_CHRHDB821_04641_LENTESTEARSGATEKEEPER_000_042 ...And you believe he was taken to the moon?
92 88 TEXT_CHRHDB821_04641_LENTESTEARSGATEKEEPER_000_043 Well, that certainly sounds like an emergency to me! Your “acquaintance” here seems sincere in his desire to help, so I will grant him special dispensation to accompany you just this once. You may proceed to the Nethergate.
93 89 TEXT_CHRHDB821_04641_DELION_000_044 Mysterious forces have thrust us together, and though I trust the fates about as much as I trust that obviously compromised gate guard, I will leave no moonstone unturned. The truth is up there!
94 90 TEXT_CHRHDB821_04641_DELION_000_046 Is...is this it? Are we here?
95 91 TEXT_CHRHDB821_04641_NASHUMHAKARACCA_000_050 Oooh, the moon is just as white and shiny up close. <sniff> <sniff> But not made of cheese. And no sign of Inspector Hildibrand either...
96 92 TEXT_CHRHDB821_04641_DELION_000_051 So...we've already arrived!? The Empire's technology is more advanced than I feared...
97 93 TEXT_CHRHDB821_04641_DELION_000_052 <gasp> Over there! The aliens have built some kind of forward base on the lunar surface! We must sneak in and blow the lid on their invasion plans...
98 94 TEXT_CHRHDB821_04641_NASHUMHAKARACCA_000_053 Looks like Dorian has a lead. Come on, we should follow him.
99 95 TEXT_CHRHDB821_04641_DELION_000_054 Aliens! Honest-to-gods aliens! I never expected them to be so tall...or so small and bunny-like...
100 96 TEXT_CHRHDB821_04641_WATCHEROFMOON_000_055 <UIForeground>F20223</UIForeground>Welcome. If I had known I was receiving so many visitors, I would have sent for more tea...<UIForeground>01</UIForeground>
101 97 TEXT_CHRHDB821_04641_DELION_000_056 That voice...speaking inside my head... I don't know the words, but their meaning is clear... Are...are they wielding psychic powers to try and brainwash me!?
102 98 TEXT_CHRHDB821_04641_GENTLELOPORRIT_000_057 You all right there, friend? Need help with anything in particular?
103 99 TEXT_CHRHDB821_04641_DELION_000_058 And this one speaks our tongue fluently! Learned it from your Sharlayan collaborators, I'll wager. Don't think you'll fool me, what with your adorable bunny nose and silken ears! I'll print the truth before you arrive to beguile my fellow men!
104 100 TEXT_CHRHDB821_04641_GENTLELOPORRIT_000_059 You're one of Urianger's friends, aren't you? I'm not sure who or what put such odd ideas into your companion's head, but would you mind setting him straight for me...?
105 101 TEXT_CHRHDB821_04641_Q5_000_000 What will you say?
106 102 TEXT_CHRHDB821_04641_A5_000_001 The Loporrits are not alien invaders...although their adorableness does belie their capacity for shenanigans.
107 103 TEXT_CHRHDB821_04641_A5_000_002 The Loporrits are allies of all mankind─misguided attempts to make us live off carrots alone notwithstanding.
108 104 TEXT_CHRHDB821_04641_DELION_000_060 <gasp> They got to you, didn't they!?
109 105 TEXT_CHRHDB821_04641_DELION_000_061 I suppose I shouldn't be surprised─I've heard the rumors about the “disbanded” Scions of the Seventh Dawn. The formerly secret society has in truth become all the more secret, that it may pull our leaders' strings from the shadows...
110 106 TEXT_CHRHDB821_04641_NASHUMHAKARACCA_000_061 Hold it right there, mister! I won't stand here and listen to you slander <Split(<Highlight>ObjectParameter(1)</Highlight>, ,1)/> or this lovely bunny any longer. You better not libel them neither!
111 107 TEXT_CHRHDB821_04641_NASHUMHAKARACCA_000_062 We actually came in search of Inspector Hildibrand, a dashing gentleman who we think was brought here by a shiny flying saucer. You wouldn't happen to have seen either of them around here, would you?
112 108 TEXT_CHRHDB821_04641_WATCHEROFMOON_000_063 <UIForeground>F20223</UIForeground>I am afraid I have seen neither. Long was it my duty to keep watch, but as the need for constant vigilance has since ended, I have grown accustomed to idleness. It's rather refreshing, really. Anyway, perhaps the Loporrits may have observed this man or his abductor...?<UIForeground>01</UIForeground>
113 109 TEXT_CHRHDB821_04641_GENTLELOPORRIT_000_064 Hmm, I feel I would've remembered if I had. The others might have seen something, though.
114 110 TEXT_CHRHDB821_04641_GENTLELOPORRIT_000_065 Why don't I take you over to Bestways Burrow, and you can ask them about it yourself?
115 111 TEXT_CHRHDB821_04641_NASHUMHAKARACCA_000_066 That sounds like a wonderful idea! Please, lead the way!
116 112 TEXT_CHRHDB821_04641_GENTLELOPORRIT_000_067 If nothing else, getting an eyeful of the facilities we built for the benefit of mankind should help reassure your suspicious friend there.
117 113 TEXT_CHRHDB821_04641_DELION_000_070 Good gods...
118 114 TEXT_CHRHDB821_04641_GENTLELOPORRIT_000_071 I knew it. Seeing the burrow in all its magnificence has left your friend speechless.
119 115 TEXT_CHRHDB821_04641_LOPORRITA04641_000_072 I think I might go for a nice stroll through the trees...
120 116 TEXT_CHRHDB821_04641_LOPORRITB04641_000_073 Hm? An adventurer? If you're in search of excitement, then do we have the perfect place for you!
121 117 TEXT_CHRHDB821_04641_WEAVINGWAY_100_074 Oh, I <Emphasis>like</Emphasis> your style. In fact, this gives me an idea for a whole new line of Loporrit leisurewear.
122 118 TEXT_CHRHDB821_04641_NASHUMHAKARACCA_000_080 So. Many. Bunnies!
123 119 TEXT_CHRHDB821_04641_DELION_000_081 If they can build a forward base on this scale, then what hope does mankind have against them...?
124 120 TEXT_CHRHDB821_04641_GENTLELOPORRIT_000_082 Oh, for the love of carrots, this is not a military operation! Do you see any cannons or assault craft? We haven't any weaponry at all.
125 121 TEXT_CHRHDB821_04641_GENTLELOPORRIT_000_083 Take your time, and chat with whomever you like. As for me, I've got perfectly innocuous and not-at-all nefarious things to do. Bye now!
126 122 TEXT_CHRHDB821_04641_NASHUMHAKARACCA_000_084 Right, then! Let's get on with the investigation!
127 123 TEXT_CHRHDB821_04641_SYSTEM_000_085 Nashu and Delion are now accompanying you. Keep them at your side in order to proceed with quest objectives.
128 124 TEXT_CHRHDB821_04641_SYSTEM_000_086 You can leave your quest companions behind by entering a different area, or by speaking with them and selecting the option to part ways.
129 125 TEXT_CHRHDB821_04641_SYSTEM_000_087 If you wish to have your companions join you again, return and speak with them at the original location.
130 126 TEXT_CHRHDB821_04641_LOPORRITA04641_000_090 Oh, I often stretch my legs out there under the stars, but can't say I've noticed anything out of the ordinary. Sorry.
131 127 TEXT_CHRHDB821_04641_NASHUMHAKARACCA_000_091 Not to worry, we'll try our luck elsewhere. Thank you!
132 128 TEXT_CHRHDB821_04641_DELION_000_092 Furry-faced liars, the lot of them. They're probably hiding an entire fleet of alien attack craft...
133 129 TEXT_CHRHDB821_04641_Q6_000_000 What will you do?
134 130 TEXT_CHRHDB821_04641_A6_000_001 Talk.
135 131 TEXT_CHRHDB821_04641_A6_000_002 Part ways.
136 132 TEXT_CHRHDB821_04641_A6_000_003 Nothing.
137 133 TEXT_CHRHDB821_04641_NASHUMHAKARACCA_000_093 Oooh, I just want to nibble on their fuzzy widdle ears.
138 134 TEXT_CHRHDB821_04641_DELION_000_094 I'm taking notes on everything in this base: floor plans, personnel, abstract tree structures. My next issue will expose their entire operation!

140 136 TEXT_CHRHDB821_04641_NASHUMHAKARACCA_000_095 Look! They even have an aetheryte here!
141 137 TEXT_CHRHDB821_04641_DELION_000_096 An aetheryte? A convenient tool for meeting with their Sharlayan co-conspirators, no doubt.
142 138 TEXT_CHRHDB821_04641_DELION_000_097 Oh, they'll tell you aetherytes were an Allagan invention, but it was really just one of many alien technological secrets received in exchange for their undying loyalty.
143 139 TEXT_CHRHDB821_04641_DELION_000_098 Linkpearls, too. Be careful what you say on those “private” calls─the Sharlayans are always listening.

145 141 TEXT_CHRHDB821_04641_NASHUMHAKARACCA_000_099 Cor, that's a big fan. It must get hot in here.
146 142 TEXT_CHRHDB821_04641_DELION_000_100 A propulsion engine...? Of course! This is no mere moon!
147 143 TEXT_CHRHDB821_04641_DELION_000_101 You know the satellite upon which we stand was never a “natural” celestial body, right? It was a grand fabrication of the ancients.
148 144 TEXT_CHRHDB821_04641_DELION_000_102 They were in contact with aliens even back then, but the purpose of their ambitious construction has eluded us...until now. It's obvious that the moon is a colossal starfaring vessel!
149 145 TEXT_CHRHDB821_04641_SYSTEM_000_103 Are you sure you wish to part ways with your companions?
150 146 TEXT_CHRHDB821_04641_NASHUMHAKARACCA_000_104 You have a case more important than this one? All right, we'll suspend the investigation until you get back!
151 147 TEXT_CHRHDB821_04641_DELION_000_105 I understand: being confronted with evidence of the uncanny can be unsettling to say the least. Take the time to adjust your thinking, then rejoin us where we came in.
152 148 TEXT_CHRHDB821_04641_NASHUMHAKARACCA_000_106 All solved and sorted? Great, let's reopen our investigation here!
153 149 TEXT_CHRHDB821_04641_DELION_000_107 Are you prepared to accept your new reality? Then let us proceed.
154 150 TEXT_CHRHDB821_04641_SYSTEM_000_108 You must be accompanied by Nashu and Delion, and have them at your side in order to proceed with quest objectives.
155 151 TEXT_CHRHDB821_04641_SYSTEM_000_109 Nashu and Delion have yet to arrive. Be sure they are at your side before attempting to continue.
156 152 TEXT_CHRHDB821_04641_LOPORRITA04641_000_115 Did that man call me a furry-faced liar? I must have heard him wrong...
157 153 TEXT_CHRHDB821_04641_LOPORRITB04641_000_120 Oh, ever since we built the Excitatron 6000, we get all kinds of people around here! Could you describe your missing friend in a bit more detail?
158 154 TEXT_CHRHDB821_04641_NASHUMHAKARACCA_000_121 Well, he's very gentlemanly and dapper...if you look past the almost-certainly tattered state of his clothing.
159 155 TEXT_CHRHDB821_04641_LOPORRITB04641_000_122 Hmmm...though their fashion sense can be a bit eclectic, our visiting adventurers are always dressed impeccably. Not to be rude, but I've a feeling your friend would have stood out in that crowd...
160 156 TEXT_CHRHDB821_04641_DELION_000_123 He's probably strapped to a table somewhere, even as we speak. Enduring unspeakable experiments... <shudder>
161 157 TEXT_CHRHDB821_04641_DELION_000_124 From what I've pieced together so far, the giant alien is the master. And all these smaller “xeno-bunnies” are artificial life-forms, created to serve as minions in his armies.
162 158 TEXT_CHRHDB821_04641_DELION_000_125 Their harmless appearance is part of the strategy. As soon as you let your guard down...<Emphasis>snap</Emphasis>! They take you down like a pack of tiny herbivorous wolves.
163 159 TEXT_CHRHDB821_04641_NASHUMHAKARACCA_000_126 Dorian has some interesting theories, doesn't he? Being nibbled to death by a mob of cuddly bunnies doesn't sound like a bad way to go...
164 160 TEXT_CHRHDB821_04641_LOPORRITB04641_000_128 Once you find your friend, you should all come back and give the Excitatron a whirl! I guarantee you'll love it 6000!
165 161 TEXT_CHRHDB821_04641_WEAVINGWAY_000_130 ...No gentleman in ragged clothes, I'm afraid, but I <Emphasis>did</Emphasis> spot an object in flight that I couldn't immediately identify.
166 162 TEXT_CHRHDB821_04641_WEAVINGWAY_000_131 It was while I was out gathering materials, in the south of Mare Lamentorum. I presumed it was just some Allagan relic or new species of floating jellyfish, and didn't think too much of it.
167 163 TEXT_CHRHDB821_04641_NASHUMHAKARACCA_000_132 Cor, now that sounds promising! Thank you for your time!
168 164 TEXT_CHRHDB821_04641_DELION_000_133 What's this, then? A pod for growing new xeno-bunnies? They must plan to produce them in the millions, and overwhelm us with sheer fuzzy numbers...
169 165 TEXT_CHRHDB821_04641_DELION_000_134 Ah! How could I have been so blind! Those aren't ears...they're psychic wave generators! They lure people close with their precious little faces, and then <Emphasis>bam</Emphasis>! Brainwashed!
170 166 TEXT_CHRHDB821_04641_DELION_000_135 I've figured it all out, alien scum! And once the world reads my special edition, your dreams of domination will be done for! Hah!
171 167 TEXT_CHRHDB821_04641_WEAVINGWAY_000_136 What a strange and oddly aggravating man. Is he a friend of yours, too?
172 168 TEXT_CHRHDB821_04641_NASHUMHAKARACCA_000_137 He thinks he's a friend to the people, but I don't think any people are his friends.
173 169 TEXT_CHRHDB821_04641_NASHUMHAKARACCA_000_138 Right! Let's get out there and find that flying object! ...Do you know which direction is “south”?
174 170 TEXT_CHRHDB821_04641_DELION_000_139 Wait, I'm coming with you! Don't leave me alone with the brainwashing xeno-bunnies!
175 171 TEXT_CHRHDB821_04641_WEAVINGWAY_000_145 I'm not sure how to describe what I saw, but you'll know it when you see it.
176 172 TEXT_CHRHDB821_04641_NASHUMHAKARACCA_000_146 So many stars...like a million twinkling teeth in a great big gentlemanly smile. <sigh> We have to find him, <Split(<Highlight>ObjectParameter(1)</Highlight>, ,1)/>.
177 173 TEXT_CHRHDB821_04641_DELION_000_147 How could you leave me behind!? Surely you know the first rule of alien hunting is “never split the party”?
178 174 TEXT_CHRHDB821_04641_SYSTEM_000_150 Search for the flying object. You may move the camera, as well as zoom in and out. Target a likely suspect and inspect it with <If(Equal(PlayerParameter(80),0))><UIForeground>F20222</UIForeground><UIForeground>01</UIForeground><Else/><CommandIcon(15)/> / <CommandIcon(8)/></If>.
179 175 TEXT_CHRHDB821_04641_NASHUMHAKARACCA_100_151 Ah! There it is!
180 176 TEXT_CHRHDB821_04641_NASHUMHAKARACCA_000_151 ...And there it goes! Come on─we can't let it get away!
181 177 TEXT_CHRHDB821_04641_NASHUMHAKARACCA_000_200 We did it, <Split(<Highlight>ObjectParameter(1)</Highlight>, ,1)/>─we found the inspector! Case closed!
182 178 TEXT_CHRHDB821_04641_DELION_000_201 Horrendous... Only aliens could subject a man to such a callous─and physically implausible─fate.
183 179 TEXT_CHRHDB821_04641_NASHUMHAKARACCA_000_202 Um. Are my eyes playing tricks on me, or do you see a whole field of planted Hildibrands?
184 180 TEXT_CHRHDB821_04641_HILDIBRANDA_000_203 (-Hildibrand?-)Well, well, what a delightful surprise to see you here. Wherever “here” happens to be...
185 181 TEXT_CHRHDB821_04641_HILDIBRANDB_000_204 (-Hildibrand...?-)My, what an impressive specimen of a gentleman you are, good sir.
186 182 TEXT_CHRHDB821_04641_HILDIBRANDA_000_205 (-Hildibrand?-)The same could be said of you, my good man!
187 183 TEXT_CHRHDB821_04641_HILDIBRANDC_000_206 (-Hildibrand!?-)Is this an extemporaneous gentleman's club? If I may be so bold as to join you?
188 184 TEXT_CHRHDB821_04641_DELION_000_207 What in the name of the occult is happening here? Where did they all come from?
189 185 TEXT_CHRHDB821_04641_Q1_000_000 What will you say?
190 186 TEXT_CHRHDB821_04641_A1_000_001 They're phantom Hildibrands created by the refraction of starlight through swamp gas.
191 187 TEXT_CHRHDB821_04641_A1_000_002 Could be they're Hildibrand clones grown in an alien laboratory's flesh vats.
192 188 TEXT_CHRHDB821_04641_NASHUMHAKARACCA_000_208 Impostors, you mean? Don't worry─I know just how to find the <Emphasis>real</Emphasis> inspector!
193 189 TEXT_CHRHDB821_04641_HILDIBRANDA_000_209 (-Hildibrands-)Cease and desist, Nashu! Use your powers of deduction, not destruction!
194 190 TEXT_CHRHDB821_04641_NASHUMHAKARACCA_000_210 Hmmm. They're all so authentic─and synchronized. I honestly can't tell the difference...
195 191 TEXT_CHRHDB821_04641_HILDIBRANDA_000_211 (-Hildibrand?-)Well, look no further. For I am the one and only Hildibrand, agent of enquiry and inspector extraordinaire!
196 192 TEXT_CHRHDB821_04641_HILDIBRANDB_000_212 (-Hildibrand...?-)The one and only? I believe that would be me, good sir.
197 193 TEXT_CHRHDB821_04641_HILDIBRANDC_000_213 (-Hildibrand!?-)How odd. I think you will find that <Emphasis>I</Emphasis> am the original Hildibrand.
198 194 TEXT_CHRHDB821_04641_HILDIBRANDD_000_214 (-Hildibrand???-)Oh, I am more than certain that <Emphasis>I</Emphasis> am Hildibrand!
199 195 TEXT_CHRHDB821_04641_HILDIBRANDE_000_215 (-Hildibrand...!?-)As am I!
200 196 TEXT_CHRHDB821_04641_HILDIBRANDA_000_216 (-Hildibrand?-)Could it be that we are <Emphasis>all</Emphasis> Hildibrand!?
201 197 TEXT_CHRHDB821_04641_HILDIBRANDA_000_217 (-Hildibrand?-)How positively marvelous! I propose we celebrate this auspicious moment as only a mob of Manderville men can!
202 198 TEXT_CHRHDB821_04641_DELION_000_218 What manner of waking nightmare is this?
203 199 TEXT_CHRHDB821_04641_HILDIBRAND_000_219 Apologies for the confusion, my friends. I assure you that this time you stand in the presence of the inimitable Hildibrand Helidor Maximilian Manderville!
204 200 TEXT_CHRHDB821_04641_HILDIBRAND_000_220 And this diminutive blue chap here is my new associate, Master PuPu.
205 201 TEXT_CHRHDB821_04641_DELION_000_221 Another alien species!
206 202 TEXT_CHRHDB821_04641_DELION_000_222 <gasp> Of course! You're building a clone army to invade our star, and what we stumbled upon was a field test!
207 203 TEXT_CHRHDB821_04641_HILDIBRAND_000_223 I do not believe we've had the pleasure, my excitable fellow, but I promise you that the amicable Master PuPu has no desire to wage any clone wars.
208 204 TEXT_CHRHDB821_04641_DELION_000_224 Then...what's this all about? Are you telling me you <Emphasis>weren't</Emphasis> abducted?
209 205 TEXT_CHRHDB821_04641_HILDIBRAND_000_225 A simple misunderstanding...
210 206 TEXT_CHRHDB821_04641_HILDIBRAND_000_226 Ohohoho, what a charming little rascal you are. An offshoot of the mandragora family, perchance?
211 207 TEXT_CHRHDB821_04641_KOYOKOYO_000_227 (-Little Blue Man-)PuPu. PuPuPuPu... PuPuPuPuPuPu...
212 208 TEXT_CHRHDB821_04641_HILDIBRAND_000_228 Pu...Pu? Ah, I see! Pleased to make your acquaintance, Master PuPu!
213 209 TEXT_CHRHDB821_04641_HILDIBRAND_000_229 Ahem, might I inquire as to our current whereabouts? I had but recently reunited with Nashu and <Split(<Highlight>ObjectParameter(1)</Highlight>, ,1)/>, and would greatly appreciate it if you could convey me back to my prior location...
214 210 TEXT_CHRHDB821_04641_HILDIBRAND_000_230 (-Hildibrand-)Splendid! Full speed ahead, my dear fellow!
215 211 TEXT_CHRHDB821_04641_HILDIBRAND_000_231 (-Hildibrand-)Steady on, now! This is not...what I had...in mind!
216 212 TEXT_CHRHDB821_04641_HILDIBRAND_000_232 (-Hildibrand-)My word! You've generated a veritable battalion of identical gentlemen!
217 213 TEXT_CHRHDB821_04641_HILDIBRAND_000_233 (-Hildibrand-)Surely the world could never safely contain so much pure Mandervillian magnificence! Could you perchance reverse the process?
218 214 TEXT_CHRHDB821_04641_HILDIBRAND_000_234 (-Hildibrand-)Oh gods, no, not like that...
219 215 TEXT_CHRHDB821_04641_HILDIBRAND_000_235 (-Hildibrand-)Mummyyyyyy!
220 216 TEXT_CHRHDB821_04641_HILDIBRAND_000_236 ...Thus, I have concluded that Master PuPu has no grasp of the common tongue, and his true intentions─while surely peaceable─remain woefully unclear.
221 217 TEXT_CHRHDB821_04641_HILDIBRAND_000_237 It was only through frenzied gestures that I managed to direct him back here and have him clean up our Manderville multiplicity incident.
222 218 TEXT_CHRHDB821_04641_KOYOKOYO_000_238 PuPu... I hail...PuPuPuPu...from a star...PuPu...a great distance from here.
223 219 TEXT_CHRHDB821_04641_KOYOKOYO_000_239 PuPu...I came in search of a friend, whose communications halted mid-exploration.
224 220 TEXT_CHRHDB821_04641_HILDIBRAND_000_240 All this way to aid a comrade in distress, you say!?
225 221 TEXT_CHRHDB821_04641_HILDIBRAND_000_241 The devotion. The determination. Your touching story has sunk its hooks into my heart!
226 222 TEXT_CHRHDB821_04641_HILDIBRAND_000_242 Fear not, my blue-hued friend! For I, Hildibrand, agent of enquiry, inspector extraordinaire, have attached myself to this case like a stubborn barnacle on a kraken's behind!
227 223 TEXT_CHRHDB821_04641_HILDIBRAND_000_243 I swear to you, here and now: I shall scour all of creation, from the deepest pit of the seven hells to the very pinnacle of the heavens, for the missing comrade that you so desperately seek!
228 224 TEXT_CHRHDB821_04641_NASHUMHAKARACCA_000_250 Mister PuPu's eyes make me feel dizzy. Like swirls that go around and around and around and around...
229 225 TEXT_CHRHDB821_04641_DELION_000_251 An entirely new species of alien... The next issue of the <Emphasis>Truth</Emphasis> will need to be a special double edition.
230 226 TEXT_CHRHDB821_04641_KOYOKOYO_000_252 I am glad you are here to help ward off any more...PuPu...misunderstandings.
231 227 TEXT_CHRHDB821_04641_HILDIBRAND_000_260 Tell me, <Split(<Highlight>ObjectParameter(1)</Highlight>, ,1)/>, how is it that you're able to understand Master PuPu's language?
232 228 TEXT_CHRHDB821_04641_HILDIBRAND_000_261 The power of “echoes”? Ah, you mean persistent repetition? It sounds similar to the Manderville art of parley.
233 229 TEXT_CHRHDB821_04641_DELION_000_262 You're saying you have an extrasensory ability that allows communication with aliens? How fascinating. Yes, most fascinating indeed...
234 230 TEXT_CHRHDB821_04641_HILDIBRAND_000_263 Pending mysteries aside, I am glad indeed to once more be in the company of my faithful assistant and stalwart contemporary both!
