6 2 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06001_000030_MONTICHAIGNE Well, I could hardly let that inquisition go unchallenged.
7 3 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06001_000040_MONTICHAIGNE I've always believed that curiosity should be nurtured, not stifled. Thankfully, a majority of my colleagues agreed. A slender majority, aye, but a majority nonetheless.
8 4 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06001_000050_KRILE Had the vote not gone our way, we would be having a very different conversation, if any at all. Though I'd like to think you would have not given up on our cause─I'm told you paid a visit to the annex afterwards?
9 5 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06001_000060_MONTICHAIGNE Yes, that's right. I was hoping to speak with the grandchildren of my dearly departed friends Galuf and Louisoix in a less dour setting, but it seems I'd just missed you.
10 6 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06001_000070_MONTICHAIGNE I still can't believe how much you've grown. If only your grandsires could've seen the way you presented yourselves to the Forum. Why, it fair brought a tear to my own eye!
11 7 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06001_000080_MONTICHAIGNE You must have the patience of a saint, putting up with this lot and their antics─never mind Matoya's prize student.
12 8 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06001_000090_MONTICHAIGNE Luckily, I know a thing or two about managing unruly younglings. If you ever need advice, don't hesitate to ask!
13 9 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06001_000100_ALPHINAUD If I may, there is a rather more pressing matter we wish to discuss. What can you tell us of this “duty” that the Forum must fulfill?
14 10 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06001_000110_MONTICHAIGNE Nothing, I'm afraid. Like all humble servants of the Forum, I am sworn to secrecy.
15 11 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06001_000120_MONTICHAIGNE Or rather, I couldn't tell you if I tried.
16 12 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06001_000130_MONTICHAIGNE Our duty is of the gravest importance. Furthermore, if the particulars were made public, it would incite widespread panic.
17 13 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06001_000140_MONTICHAIGNE As such, those entrusted with this duty have been bound by an enchantment, which prevents us from speaking of such matters without the express permission of the Forum.
18 14 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06001_000150_ALISAIE How is that even possible!?
19 15 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06001_000160_MONTICHAIGNE Hahaha... It's been some time since I last gave a lecture. Please, take a seat.
20 16 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06001_000170_MONTICHAIGNE Ahem! We shall begin by reviewing the fundamentals of aetherology.
21 17 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06001_000180_MONTICHAIGNE The aether which imbues us with life can be categorized into three forms.
22 18 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06001_000190_MONTICHAIGNE Two are of the incorporeal sort, the soul and the memory. Can anyone tell me the third?
23 19 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06001_Q1_000_001_NONE_VOICE What will you say?
24 20 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06001_A1_000_001_NONE_VOICE Corporeal aether!
25 21 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06001_A1_000_002_NONE_VOICE Magic!
26 22 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06001_A1_000_003_NONE_VOICE Ummm...
27 23 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06001_000200_MONTICHAIGNE Yes, very good!
28 24 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06001_000210_MONTICHAIGNE Not entirely inaccurate, but nor is it the answer I was looking for. That would be “corporeal aether.”
29 25 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06001_000220_MONTICHAIGNE The answer is...corporeal aether.
30 26 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06001_000230_MONTICHAIGNE This is the form with which the layman is most familiar.
31 27 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06001_000240_MONTICHAIGNE Consumed by even the simplest of daily activities and replenished by the food and drink that sustain us, this form of aether is in constant flux.
32 28 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06001_000250_MONTICHAIGNE In contrast, the aether that comprises the soul is rarely subject to dramatic change. The same can be said for memory, as the two are intrinsically linked.
33 29 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06001_000260_MONTICHAIGNE Picture the soul as paper, and memories as words written upon it.
34 30 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06001_000270_MONTICHAIGNE Now, what would happen if that paper was doused with ink─the same type of aether as comprises the memories?
35 31 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06001_000280_ALISAIE It would blot out everything that was written.
36 32 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06001_000290_MONTICHAIGNE Precisely. We would be unable to recall the memories, and any activities that depend upon them would be hindered as well.
37 33 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06001_000300_MONTICHAIGNE In fact, this exact phenomenon was observed on a vast scale not so long ago. And what might that have been?
38 34 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06001_000310_ALPHINAUD The Seventh Umbral Calamity...
39 35 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06001_000320_ALPHINAUD The people of Eorzea vividly recall Bahamut breaking free of the lesser moon and raining hellfire down upon the realm.
40 36 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06001_000330_ALPHINAUD But no one could seem to remember the events that followed immediately afterwards.
41 37 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06001_000340_MONTICHAIGNE Indeed. To this day, we have yet to determine whether it was an unintended consequence or a deliberate act.
42 38 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06001_000350_MONTICHAIGNE The enchantment which binds me and the rest of the Forum is based on a similar principle. And yes, it is a contravention of the Sharlayan prohibition against the practice of memory manipulation.
43 39 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06001_000360_MONTICHAIGNE Only when a new member is inducted and told of our great duty are they subjected to the process.
44 40 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06001_000370_MONTICHAIGNE A necessary evil. You have my word that it would never be used to manipulate the populace.
45 41 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06001_000380_KRILE I should hope not. But can this enchantment be dispelled and your memories restored?
46 42 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06001_000390_MONTICHAIGNE If nine-tenths of our members give their approval, then the process may be reversed. Then, and only then, would we be able to speak freely to others of our sacred duty.
47 43 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06001_000400_MONTICHAIGNE Barring that, we must wait until we return to the aetherial sea...
48 44 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06001_000410_MONTICHAIGNE For there we will be purified. The blots upon our souls washed clean...
49 45 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06001_000420_MONTICHAIGNE And our memories drift apart and dissolve. Rather defeating the purpose, I suppose.
50 46 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06001_000430_MONTICHAIGNE But there are those memories that are indelibly etched upon our souls, some believe.
51 47 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06001_000440_ALISAIE What happens after that?
52 48 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06001_000450_MONTICHAIGNE We are reduced to pure aether, coalesce with that of others, and create souls anew.
53 49 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06001_000460_MONTICHAIGNE Alternative schools of thought assert souls remain whole and return to the corporeal world, reborn into another form.
54 50 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06001_000470_MONTICHAIGNE Both theories have their proponents. Personally, I consider each equally probable.
55 51 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06001_000480_MONTICHAIGNE Well, I think that's enough education for today, now that I've given you some food for thought─or rather, an entire banquet!
56 52 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06001_000490_MONTICHAIGNE I would remind you that although I'm unable to assist you with certain matters, the resources at my disposal may still be of use to you.
57 53 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06001_000500_MONTICHAIGNE I'll arrange for you all to be given the run of Phenomenon. Of course, as associate to our alumni and the Students of Baldesion, this privilege is extended to you as well, my friend.
58 54 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06001_000510_MONTICHAIGNE Oh, and I suggest you speak with Qih Aliapoh. She's well known among the artisans of Sharlayan, and her network of contacts may prove useful in your search for knowledge. I wish you all the best in your pursuits, wheresoever they may take you.
59 55 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06001_000515_MONTICHAIGNE
60 56 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06001_000520_ALPHINAUD By the Twelve...
61 57 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06001_000530_THANCRED Glad you could join us. I hope you don't mind, but we went ahead and started without you.
62 58 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06001_000540_YSHTOLA As you can imagine, our traveling companions were eager to become acquainted. 'Tis a rare thing indeed to see such a diverse and talented group of individuals assembled for a single purpose.
63 59 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06001_000550_YSHTOLA We fight not only for the sake of Eorzea, but for the entire world─including the people of Garlemald. Much rides on the efforts of the Ilsabard contingent.
64 60 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06001_000560_LUCIA Indeed. Which is why I am glad to find myself in the company of many trusted comrades─yourselves included.
65 61 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06001_000570_ALPHINAUD Lucia!
66 62 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06001_000580_LUCIA I have come at the behest of Lord Aymeric, who has honored me with the role of Ishgard's representative. For the good of all nations, not least my former homeland, I am determined to see this mission through to its end.
67 63 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06001_000590_LUCIA We have a hard road ahead of us, but walk it we shall. Together.
68 64 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06001_000600_ALPHINAUD We too welcome this opportunity to work together once more. I have faith that, if there is a way to resolve this conflict, we will find it.
69 65 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06001_000610_LUCIA Allow me to introduce you to the rest of our company.
70 66 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06001_000620_LUCIA Everyone, if I may have your attention!
71 67 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06001_000630_LUCIA Might I ask you to speak first?
72 68 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06001_000640_ARUHNSENNA If I must...
73 69 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06001_000650_ARUHNSENNA I am A–Ruhn–Senna, spokesman for the Gridanian delegation, here on behalf of my esteemed sister, the Elder Seedseer.
74 70 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06001_000660_ARUHNSENNA We shall provide support and protection to those in need during our time in Garlemald.
75 71 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06001_000670_ARUHNSENNA To that end, I am joined by healers selected by the Conjurers' Guild, with the Order of the Twin Adder's finest serving as our escort.
76 72 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06001_000680_ARUHNSENNA Of course, with an experienced white mage such as yourself accompanying us as well, those requiring more involved treatment will be in safe hands. Raya–O sends her regards, by the way.
77 73 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06001_000690_SICARD S'pose I'd better say my piece...
78 74 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06001_000700_GRAHATIA Wait─I know you!
79 75 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06001_000710_SICARD The name's Sicard, in case you've forgotten. Truth be told, I'd rather you had forgotten...
80 76 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06001_000720_SICARD Anyroad, the Admiral asked Captain Hyllfyr to send his best, and for whatever reason, he picked me.
81 77 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06001_000730_SICARD 'Course, if I'd refused, I'd be the laughin' stock of the Bloody Executioners, and my reputation's taken enough of a keelhaulin' as it is. But more importantly, like any pirate worth his salt, I know when you're starin' down a storm, you've got to trust in the commander of your ship.
82 78 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06001_000740_SICARD So if the Admiral wants us to go to Garlemald─not for plunder and glory, but the promise of peace in our time─then that's what we'll do!
83 79 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06001_000750_SICARD Since we all know how much the Empire loves its steel, we thought we'd bring along a few smiths to make the most of it. Give 'em a pile of scrap and they'll cobble together anythin' you fancy.
84 80 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06001_000760_SICARD 'Course, just like the Gridanians, we've got fighters of our own. We might've come with a more constructive purpose in mind, but we're more'n capable of cracking skulls, believe you me.
85 81 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06001_000770_LYSE Well, you're certainly raring to go. But then again, so are we.
86 82 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06001_000780_LYSE The most dependable warriors of Ul'dah and Ala Mhigo have assembled at the sultana and General Aldynn's behest.
87 83 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06001_000790_LYSE If Garlemald has truly fallen, then the whole place is likely to be crawling with Telophoroi. We'll need plenty of troops to clear and hold a path for others to follow.
88 84 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06001_000800_LYSE That's where we come in. Naturally, Marshal Tarupin and I will be leading from the front.
89 85 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06001_000810_YSHTOLA It's been some time since I last saw you in your element on the battlefield.
90 86 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06001_000820_LYSE From what I've heard, you've become pretty fearsome yourself. “Master Matoya,” the “avatar of destruction.”
91 87 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06001_000825_LYSE No subtitles. Report if displayed.
92 88 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06001_000830_LYSE With comrades like these, I know we'll succeed, no matter what awaits us.
93 89 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06001_000840_LYSE And then we might finally get a chance to enjoy a good long rest. But until then, let's give it our all!
94 90 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06001_000850_LUCIA As for Ishgard, we Temple Knights have come in force to uphold our nation's commitment to the peace and welfare of our allies.
95 91 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06001_000860_LUCIA The bitter cold of Garlemald is a formidable enemy in of itself. Our experience fighting in ice and snow will prove invaluable in the days ahead.
96 92 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06001_000870_LUCIA Accordingly, I have been designated commander of the Ilsabard contingent. I will do all in my power to provide you with the leadership and guidance you require.
97 93 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06001_000880_LUCIA The four High Houses─House Haillenarte foremost among them─have arranged for a host of machinists to join us on our mission.
98 94 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06001_000890_LUCIA Their knowledge of imperial magitek is sure to be a great boon. They will address any problems of a technical nature, together with the smiths of Limsa Lominsa.
99 95 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06001_000900_LUCIA There is another awaiting introduction...
100 96 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06001_000910_ALPHINAUD Lord Emmanellain!
101 97 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06001_000920_EMMANELLAIN Ah, yes... Emmanellain de Fortemps, at your service.
102 98 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06001_000930_EMMANELLAIN Though...lest there be any misunderstanding, I should stress that I've not become a “fearsome” warrior while you were away. Rather far from it, actually. My brother, in his infinite wisdom, decided this would be an excellent chance to make something of myself... Oh, and fight for world peace and all that.
103 99 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06001_000940_EMMANELLAIN But should the opportunity arise for a spot of ballroom dancing, I will be your twinkle-toed Gentleman of Light!
104 100 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06001_Q2_000_001_NONE_VOICE What will you say?
105 101 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06001_A2_000_001_NONE_VOICE May your graceful prancing lead the way to victory!
106 102 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06001_A2_000_002_NONE_VOICE I daresay your fancy footwork may be all that stands between us and certain doom.
107 103 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06001_000950_EMMANELLAIN Huzzah! I cannot wait to regale Honoroit with my tales of derring-do!
108 104 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06001_000960_LUCIA I believe that concludes introductions for the Grand Company of Eorzea.
109 105 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06001_000970_LUCIA Our allies from the Eastern alliance were due to arrive some time ago, but it would appear they have been delayed...
110 106 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06001_000980_ALISAIE Would that be the shinobi of Doma?
111 107 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06001_000990_THANCRED Actually, they've been tasked with relaying messages back and forth between the various Eastern nations. According to Lord Hien, however, an equally capable company of warriors has been sent in their stead...
112 108 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06001_001000_SADU (-???-)Out of my way, you preening fool!
113 109 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06001_001010_CIRINA Forgive us for coming late! We are the delegates of the Eastern alliance.
114 110 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06001_001020_LYSE Cirina! And you've brought company!
115 111 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06001_001030_SADU For battle and blood we come, as the Steppe is sorely lacking in both. No towers befoul our lands, so we marched on those of Doma─only to find them beyond our reach.
116 112 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06001_001040_SADU But now our thirst for slaughter will be slaked. No quarter to the enemy!
117 113 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06001_001050_CIRINA Sadu Khatun, no! We go to make peace with the ironmen, not war.
118 114 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06001_001060_LUCIA Warriors of the Steppe, we have heard many tales of your bravery. We welcome you as allies. And these other ones you have brought are...?
119 115 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06001_001070_CIRINA Members of the Dalmascan resistance group, Lente's Tears.
120 116 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06001_001080_THANCRED And the Bozjan Resistance.
121 117 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06001_001090_THANCRED Between them, they have a wealth of experience in espionage, and are particularly adept at infiltrating imperial facilities. Which is fortuitous, since Garlemald's domain is so vast that I could never hope to handle reconnaissance duties all by myself.
122 118 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06001_001100_ALPHINAUD Dalmasca, Bozja, Ala Mhigo... All lands which have suffered the tyranny of the Empire.
123 119 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06001_001110_ALPHINAUD I would never presume to question your motives. Nevertheless, I must reiterate that our goal is to aid the victims of the Telophoroi. The commonfolk of Garlemald.
124 120 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06001_001120_ALPHINAUD And they are victims, make no mistake. Though I understand that many may struggle to see them as such...
125 121 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06001_001130_LYSE You're more right than you know. For every one of us that answered the call, there were a dozen that refused.
126 122 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06001_001140_LYSE Not only in Ala Mhigo, but everywhere we went. And who could blame them? The Empire's always been “the enemy.”
127 123 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06001_001150_LYSE But after seeing what we've seen...fighting and working against─and with─Garleans, there's no denying the simple truth.
128 124 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06001_001160_LYSE They're just people. No different from you or I. They've got their share of liars and murderers, but so do we. So do we all.
129 125 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06001_001170_LYSE Fordola, who once swore herself to Garlemald, has proven herself a trusted ally time and time again. Every Eorzean here knows Cid Garlond, the imperial defector who shared with us countless technological wonders.
130 126 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06001_001180_LYSE Gaius bloody Baelsar himself is working to help rebuild Werlyt, a nation he once conquered.
131 127 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06001_001190_LYSE Maxima, who stands with us today, tried to reform Garlemald from within and make peace with Doma.
132 128 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06001_001200_LYSE So you can believe me when I say that every fighter here understands and accepts that the imperials are not monsters and are deserving of help. Or at least that they were able to put aside their feelings for the greater good.
133 129 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06001_001210_LYSE It won't be easy, but we're all determined to make this world a better place.
134 130 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06001_001220_ALPHINAUD What lingering concerns I may have had were clearly unwarranted. I agree with everything you said wholeheartedly.
135 131 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06001_001230_LUCIA Then we are in accord. Now─let us review our strategy.
136 132 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06001_001240_LUCIA To reach the Garlean capital in northern Ilsabard, we must cross the central mountain range.
137 133 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06001_001250_LUCIA Fortunately, Garlond Ironworks can provide aerial transport, sparing us this most treacherous part of our journey.
138 134 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06001_001260_LUCIA However, attempting to fly any closer to Garlemald would attract the attention of the Telophoroi.
139 135 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06001_001270_LUCIA As they appear to have seized control of the majority of the imperial military, we must assume that includes its fleet. In addition, Garlemald possesses devices that can interfere with airship navigational systems, further discouraging an airborne approach.
140 136 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06001_001280_MAXIMA Given the circumstances, the closest we dare deploy our contingent is an area between the range and the capital─the Magna Glacies.
141 137 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06001_001290_MAXIMA From there, we must travel the rest of the way on foot. We will also need to bring the airships with us to ensure we can withdraw with haste. Although much of the terrain will be blanketed in snow, we should be able to make use of local roads and shipping facilities.
142 138 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06001_001300_MAXIMA The vast ice field will afford us an unobstructed view of the surrounding area. On the other hand, it will also allow others to easily spot us, so it is imperative that we only make camp in positions where we can easily defend ourselves─and the airships, which must be kept safe at all costs.
143 139 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06001_001310_LUCIA We cannot account for every possibility, so we must be prepared to think on our feet. We will be tested. Sorely tested, I expect. But for our homes and for our people─and a people not our own but in need─we will succeed.
144 140 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06001_001320_LUCIA Spare no effort in your preparations. Once we depart, there is no turning back.
145 141 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06001_001330_EMETSELCH Ilsabard...divided in twain by a vast mountain range.
146 142 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06001_001340_EMETSELCH Those who would traverse its jagged peaks face peril at every step. But why go by foot when one can simply fly?
147 143 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06001_001350_EMETSELCH On the outskirts of the imperial capital, in the frozen wastes of the Magna Glacies...
148 144 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06001_001360_EMETSELCH The winds howl in icy protest, as if to warn against further trespass...
149 145 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06001_001370_LUCIA We've received word from Thancred's reconnaissance party.
150 146 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06001_001380_LUCIA They have sighted a detachment of heavily armed imperials.
151 147 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06001_001390_ALISAIE Survivors of the civil war, perhaps?
152 148 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06001_001400_LUCIA Perhaps. But there is more to it than that...
153 149 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06001_001410_LUCIA Maxima reports that they are led by Vergilia, legatus of the IIIrd Legion, which comprises the bulk of their number.
154 150 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06001_001420_LUCIA However, they are also joined by several members of the Ist.
155 151 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06001_001430_ALPHINAUD From what I recall, the IIIrd Legion fought for Nerva in the war of succession following Varis's death.
156 152 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06001_001440_ALPHINAUD The Ist, on the other hand, were under the direct command of the Emperor, and rejected Nerva's claim to the throne. These legions were enemies.
157 153 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06001_001450_LUCIA Indeed. In fact, our sources claim that it was a conflict between them that sparked the civil war.
158 154 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06001_001460_LUCIA Yet now these former foes cooperate to defend a ruined Garlemald from invasion...
159 155 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06001_001470_ALPHINAUD Then it is all but certain they have been tempered.
160 156 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06001_001480_SICARD So what's the plan? If me and my crew was out reavin', we'd charge straight in, no messin' about. But that ain't what we're here for.
161 157 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06001_001490_LUCIA Quite right. Soldiers or no, they are people of Garlemald. The very ones we have come to aid.
162 158 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06001_001500_LUCIA Direct confrontation is unavoidable. Nevertheless, we must make every effort to limit casualties on both sides. Rather than kill them, I would remove them from the field.
163 159 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06001_001510_ARUHNSENNA How so? Savage beatings, disarmament, and imprisonment?
164 160 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06001_001520_ARUHNSENNA Not impossible, but easier said than done in the heat of battle.
165 161 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06001_001530_URIANGER Having observed the opposition, I imagine Thancred had something to suggest?
166 162 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06001_001540_LUCIA He did. He and the other scouts have already infiltrated a supply depot some distance beyond the imperial detachment's current position.
167 163 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06001_001550_LUCIA Stored within is a stockpile of magitek armaments, and once we give the signal, Thancred's team will destroy them all. In so doing, we will deprive frontline troops of materiel, and likely force the detachment to send men to investigate.
168 164 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06001_001560_ARUHNSENNA Divide and conquer... Not a bad idea.
169 165 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06001_001570_LUCIA Once the scouts have finished their preparations, we will split into two groups.
170 166 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06001_001580_LUCIA The first will form the vanguard, while the other brings up the rear with our supplies.
171 167 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06001_001590_LUCIA As for the Scions, I ask that you lend your assistance where you deem it needed most.
172 168 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06001_001600_LUCIA I would prefer, however, that you accompany the rear guard, and be prepared to join the van at a moment's notice. Kept in reserve as our trump card, so to speak.
173 169 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06001_001610_SYSTEM_NONE_VOICE Meanwhile, at the imperial supply depot...
174 170 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06001_001620_MAXIMA Your proposal was well received. More specifically, they asked that we “destroy the imperials' toys in as spectacular a fashion as possible.”
175 171 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06001_001630_THANCRED Y'shtola always did have a flair for the dramatic. She's not an easy woman to please, but I shall do my best to satisfy her thirst for fireworks.
176 172 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06001_001640_THANCRED All right. Once more, for my peace of mind.
177 173 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06001_001650_THANCRED Our first objective will be to rig the enemy's magitek with explosives. After we've withdrawn to a safe distance, we'll detonate them remotely.
178 174 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06001_001660_THANCRED Our second will be to issue a deactivation command to the automated units via the control terminal. If our calculations are correct, this signal should reach those deployed on the front line, giving our friends a much-needed upper hand.
179 175 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06001_001670_THANCRED The blizzard will help us stay hidden, so let's aim to get in and out before it passes. Trust in the plan, and we should all live to see tomorrow.
180 176 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06001_001680_MAXIMA In the meantime, I will relay messages back and forth as the situation unfolds. You'll forgive me if I ask again, but...are you certain you wish to play the lone wolf?
181 177 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06001_001690_THANCRED Wouldn't have it any other way. Call it foolish and reckless if you like, but I'll get the job done. I always do.
182 178 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06001_001700_MAXIMA Very well. I wish you the best of luck.
183 179 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06001_001710_THANCRED It's time. We only have one shot at this, so let's make it count!
184 180 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06001_001720_MAXIMA You are returned─and none the worse for wear, to my considerable relief.
185 181 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06001_001730_THANCRED What news from our comrades?
186 182 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06001_001740_MAXIMA They stand at the ready.
187 183 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06001_001750_THANCRED Excellent. Then let the fireworks begin!
188 184 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06001_001760_SYSTEM_NONE_VOICE A few moments later, at the rear of the Ilsabard contingent's supply caravan...
189 185 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06001_001770_ALISAIE The blizzard's beginning to clear...
190 186 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06001_001780_ALISAIE The vanguard should be engaging the imperials any moment now─if they haven't already.
191 187 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06001_001790_ALISAIE Y'shtola and the others are with them, so I'm sure they'll be all right, but...
192 188 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06001_001800_ALISAIE
193 189 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06001_001810_ALISAIE Wait! Something's coming!
194 190 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06001_001820_SICARD Oi, oi! Looks like we ain't the only ones who sent out scouts!
195 191 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06001_001830_SICARD Keep 'em away from the carriages! We lose those, and we're as good as dead!
196 192 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06001_001840_SYSTEM_NONE_VOICE Meanwhile, on the front line...
197 193 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06001_001850_ESTINIEN
198 194 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06001_001860_YSHTOLA “Remove from the field” was not a euphemism for “enthusiastically murder.”
199 195 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06001_001870_ESTINIEN It's nothing that won't heal. In time.
200 196 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06001_001880_ESTINIEN The trouble is, their tempering has made them utterly fearless. Subduing them would be easier if they had the capacity to submit in the first place.
201 197 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06001_001890_YSHTOLA Well, this is the path our young charges would have us walk─and that we all agreed to follow. You knew it would be hard, yet still you pledged your lance, did you not?
202 198 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06001_001900_ESTINIEN That I did.
203 199 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06001_001905_MAGNAI

206 202 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06001_001930_LYSE I was wondering when you'd turn up!

208 204 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06001_001950_SADU Hah... A worthy adversary!
209 205 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06001_001960_SADU Rest. Recover. Reclaim yourself. Then we will fight again─to the death.

212 208 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06001_001990_LUCIA The day is ours, thanks to your timely arrival. What of the supply caravan?
213 209 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06001_002000_LUCIA Hmm. Outmaneuvered, but not outmatched. Good. Let us take the imperials into custody and rejoin our comrades.
214 210 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06001_002010_LUCIA And soon we shall arrive at the capital...
215 211 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06001_002020_EMETSELCH “So cold and unforgiving.” Thus spoke Emperor Solus as he gazed upon his barren domain.
216 212 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06001_002030_EMETSELCH Eight hundred years it had been since the Garleans first set foot here.
217 213 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06001_002040_EMETSELCH Bested by the Corvosi after centuries of war and driven from fertile southern pastures into the blasted northern wastes.
218 214 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06001_002050_EMETSELCH In that garden of desolation, they clung to one another for warmth. Freezing, hungry, desperate. Hated.
219 215 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06001_002060_EMETSELCH The chosen forsaken.
220 216 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06001_002070_EMETSELCH In the year 1513 of the Sixth Astral Era, a young legatus named Solus single-handedly sparked the magitek revolution.
221 217 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06001_002080_EMETSELCH How did he conceive the machina that feed on ceruleum?
222 218 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06001_002090_EMETSELCH Once a common, soft-spoken soldier─how had he so quickly ascended through the ranks?
223 219 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06001_002100_EMETSELCH Like so many others, those who knew the truth are gone.
224 220 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06001_002110_EMETSELCH Taking in the capital with his eyes for the first time, I recall thinking to myself...
225 221 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06001_002120_EMETSELCH “Far colder on the earth than in the heavens.” Yes, far colder indeed...bitterly so.
226 222 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06001_002130_MAXIMA Not so much as a whisper...
227 223 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06001_002140_LUCIA The roads leading beyond the city walls would have been used less in recent years. Nevertheless, this was one of the most important gateways into the capital.
228 224 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06001_002150_MAXIMA Abuzz day and night with activity, aye. Merchants passing through the checkpoint, many of them stopping at the local hostelries.
229 225 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06001_002160_LUCIA Surely, they cannot <Emphasis>all</Emphasis> have been tempered...
230 226 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06001_002170_ARUHNSENNA We can consider the question after we have made camp.
231 227 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06001_002180_ARUHNSENNA If we spend any longer outside, we may well freeze to death where we stand. The tempered imperials, too.
232 228 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06001_002190_LUCIA This will be our temporary base of operations. Secure shelter for ourselves and the injured, and dispatch scouts to survey the surrounding area.
233 229 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06001_002200_SICARD If we're plannin' on stayin' here a while, we ought to give this place a proper name.
234 230 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06001_002210_LUCIA Hmm... The constant sound of ice cracking underfoot makes me think of broken glass. An apt name, perhaps. But enough of this. To work, everyone!
235 231 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06001_002220_LUCIA Our present situation is as follows.
236 232 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06001_002230_LUCIA Efforts to aid the people of Garlemald have begun in earnest. Moreover, having entered into the capital, the imperial palace is within our reach.
237 233 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06001_002240_YSHTOLA But before we proceed further, we must learn what has befallen this city, for therein lies the key to understanding and combating the Telophoroi's designs.
238 234 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06001_002250_MAXIMA I have a suggestion, if I may.
239 235 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06001_002260_MAXIMA Several of the imperial soldiers we captured on the Magna Glacies are members of the Populares and acquaintances of mine.
240 236 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06001_002270_MAXIMA Once we have cured them of their tempering, they should be able to give a reliable account of the events leading to the capital's downfall.
241 237 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06001_002280_YSHTOLA A promising idea. I will assist the healers in their ministrations.
242 238 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06001_002290_YSHTOLA Of course, I will require a porxie of my own, assuming you can spare one.
243 239 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06001_002300_ALISAIE Would you like a hand?
244 240 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06001_002310_YSHTOLA No, no, I am sure we will manage. Better that you take my place in the field. The noxious aether of this place disagrees with me, and as I shall need to draw on my own for the treatment, 'twould be prudent for me to remain within the camp.
245 241 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06001_002320_SICARD This talk of curin' the tempered is all well and good, but I reckon the cold is a more pressin' concern.
246 242 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06001_002330_SICARD All the houses 'round here are fitted with ceruleum heaters that could keep us warm and toasty. Problem is, the machines seem to have given up the ghost─and if we keep sittin' around, freezin' our arses off, we'll be next.
247 243 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06001_002340_SICARD My smiths reckon that with the right parts, they can have 'em workin' again, but it won't be easy.
248 244 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06001_002350_LUCIA Understood. The machinists will assist them in the repairs.
249 245 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06001_002360_THANCRED The rest of us should either stand watch or survey the area.
250 246 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06001_002370_LUCIA We have made our presence known to the Telophoroi. They will be searching for us─if they have not already ascertained our position.
251 247 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06001_002380_LUCIA That we have seen no sign of them since the battle suggests they have yet to do so. However, I suspect they may be biding their time...
252 248 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06001_002390_ESTINIEN ...Or perhaps we are beneath their notice.
253 249 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06001_002400_THANCRED In any event, we'll find no answers standing around here. Urianger, Estinien, and myself have visited Garlemald recently, so we'll lead the reconnaissance efforts. Perhaps bolstered by a few Bozjan and Dalmascan scouts from my previous excursion for good measure.
254 250 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06001_002410_LYSE Don't forget about us Ala Mhigans. We have experienced scouts of our own.
255 251 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06001_002420_THANCRED Well now, this is turning out to be a rather sizable team. With such numbers we should be able to cover a wide area with relative ease, including that surrounding the imperial palace.
256 252 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06001_002430_THANCRED How about you, G'raha? I've a feeling we'll find a use or two for that vanishing spell of yours.
257 253 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06001_002440_GRAHATIA 'Twould be my honor to be of service, though I doubt that you of all people need rely on my tricks.
258 254 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06001_002450_ALISAIE That leaves us with guard duty...
259 255 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06001_002460_LUCIA As a matter of fact, I have something else in mind for the two of you and Alphinaud.
260 256 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06001_002470_LUCIA Between here and the center of the capital lies the Eblan Rime. I would have you search the area for survivors.
261 257 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06001_002480_LUCIA Your keen sense of direction honed in your extensive travels should prove useful in navigating the ice fields.
262 258 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06001_Q3_000_001_NONE_VOICE What will you say?
263 259 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06001_A3_000_001_NONE_VOICE If there are any survivors, we will surely find them.
264 260 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06001_A3_000_002_NONE_VOICE “Extensive travels” is something of an understatement, but I suppose if there's nothing else that needs doing...
265 261 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06001_A3_000_003_NONE_VOICE Ice fields! I love ice fields! ...Oh wait, no I don't.
266 262 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06001_002490_LUCIA I have faith that you will, and look forward to greeting you on your safe return.
267 263 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06001_002500_LUCIA This too is a vital task, and I appreciate your willingness to see it done. Rest assured that a serving of hot soup will be waiting for you.
268 264 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06001_002510_LUCIA Hmm. As ever, you do not want for enthusiasm. But given your experience traipsing about through Coerthas, I should be surprised if you let a little inclement weather dampen your redoubtable spirits.
269 265 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06001_002520_LUCIA And even if that were the case, the promise of hot soup upon your return would surely spur you to action.
270 266 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06001_002530_LUCIA You all have your duties. Let us make haste. May the Fury bless and keep you.

281 277 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06001_002640_ALPHINAUD Maybe we don't belong here. But neither do they. Not out here in the wind and the cold.
282 278 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06001_002650_ALPHINAUD I heard the story. About Varis's voice. From beyond the grave...
283 279 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06001_002660_ALPHINAUD Of course, I didn't believe it. But Licinia and her sister did. Perhaps there is something to the tale after all.
284 280 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06001_002670_ALPHINAUD I want to understand. So I'm going to borrow this for a while. If that's all right.

287 283 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06001_002700_LUCIA Thank you for your report.
288 284 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06001_002710_LUCIA We shall inform the troops of these developments, and instruct them to proceed with the utmost caution should they encounter any survivors.
289 285 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06001_002720_MAXIMA Allow me to go and speak with the ones at the Victors' Spoils. They may be more willing to listen to a fellow Garlean and accept our offer of assistance.
290 286 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06001_002730_ALPHINAUD I pray you are right. And though I am loath to burden you any further, should there be an appropriate occasion to speak of Licinia and her sister...please do so.

293 289 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06001_002760_ALISAIE So tell me: what else have we learned?
294 290 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06001_002770_YSHTOLA As you may have already heard, we have succeeded in curing the members of the Populares Maxima identified.
295 291 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06001_002780_YSHTOLA They have provided us with some intriguing insights into the current state of Garlemald.
296 292 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06001_002790_YSHTOLA The assassination of Emperor Varis was the catalyst for the civil war. Nerva declared his claim to the throne, and his opponents refused to recognize it.
297 293 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06001_002800_YSHTOLA Fighting broke out in the capital, where Nerva's IIIrd Legion clashed with the Ist, who remained loyal to Varis even after his death.
298 294 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06001_002810_ARUHNSENNA Of course, even imperial warmongers would balk at the idea of turning their shining city into a battleground. Like burning down the wood to spite the wasps. Neither side would be so mad.
299 295 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06001_002820_ARUHNSENNA Unless something or <Emphasis>someone</Emphasis> inflamed their animosity to such an extent that they could not help but act against their better judgment.
300 296 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06001_002830_LUCIA It brings to mind events at the Ghimlyt Dark, does it not? The Emperor's sudden withdrawal from the front lines, specifically.
301 297 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06001_002840_LUCIA Nerva and his father, Titus─Varis's then political rival─took advantage of rumors that Crown Prince Zenos had been possessed by a demon.
302 298 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06001_002850_ALISAIE Elidibus. What better way to disparage your enemies than with the truth─or a close enough approximation.
303 299 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06001_002860_LUCIA Indeed. But before their accusations could be substantiated, many of Titus's followers were silenced.
304 300 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06001_002870_LUCIA While some were merely stripped of their status, others died under curious circumstances. One after another, suddenly and suspiciously.
305 301 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06001_002880_YSHTOLA Again, Elidibus. Like as not, he had a hand in it. No evidence was found to implicate Varis, certainly.
306 302 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06001_002890_YSHTOLA Nevertheless, Titus, Nerva, and the IIIrd Legion would have judged it a brazen attempt by the Emperor to rid himself of his political enemies.
307 303 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06001_002900_YSHTOLA And then, in the midst of this growing turmoil, Varis zos Galvus is murdered...
308 304 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06001_002910_YSHTOLA And Garlemald's own prodigal son, Gaius van Baelsar, is named the murderer.
309 305 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06001_002920_YSHTOLA Shortly thereafter, Nerva claims the right of succession, and in response, the Ist Legion claims the assassination was part of a coup d'état orchestrated by Titus and Nerva.
310 306 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06001_002930_ALPHINAUD So no one is at fault and everyone else is to blame.
311 307 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06001_002940_MAXIMA I should add that both parties received substantial financial backing─presumably to provide them with the means and encouragement to pursue a swift victory─and that these contributions came from the selfsame benefactor.
312 308 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06001_002950_ALISAIE I'd heard House Brutus had been filling the IIIrd Legion's coffers, but the Ist as well?
313 309 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06001_002960_MAXIMA It would seem so. Though the Populares determined that the Ist Legion received funds from a variety of organizations, all had connections to House Brutus.
314 310 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06001_002970_ALPHINAUD So Fandaniel, in the guise of Asahi, was playing both sides against each other the entire time!
315 311 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06001_002980_MAXIMA The information we gained from my friends does not end there. One night shortly after fighting broke out, the capital was shaken by an immense tremor.
316 312 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06001_002990_MAXIMA From that point onward, they have no memories─no recollection of any events, including our clash on the Magna Glacies.
317 313 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06001_003000_MAXIMA But when asked about the imperial palace and its bizarre transformation, they somehow recall Emperor Varis giving them orders. In their dreams.
318 314 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06001_003010_MAXIMA “May the Tower of Babil stand as testament to the glory of Garlemald!”
319 315 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06001_003020_ALISAIE This sounds awfully familiar...
320 316 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06001_003030_ALPHINAUD We have something to show you all.
321 317 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06001_003040_MAXIMA Varis spoke to them through this radio...? Perhaps it was a recording, but if not, that would be...inexplicable.
322 318 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06001_003050_YSHTOLA We are of one mind, then.
323 319 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06001_003060_ARUHNSENNA The aether that permeates the ore used in this device is almost identical to that of the talismans.
324 320 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06001_003070_YSHTOLA I see it... While it is likely more by coincidence than design, these devices might also ward against a primal's influence.
325 321 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06001_003080_YSHTOLA A picture is beginning to form. If the tremor felt throughout Garlemald was a wave of aether emitted by a primal...
326 322 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06001_003090_YSHTOLA ...Then while those within range would have been tempered, those huddled around a radio─desperate for news concerning the civil war─would have been spared.
327 323 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06001_003100_ALPHINAUD No wonder Licinia kept it close...
328 324 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06001_003110_CIRINA My friends! I must speak with you!
329 325 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06001_003120_CIRINA A young man was caught trying to steal our supplies. He is a soldier of the ironmen, we think, but one who has not been made thrall.
330 326 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06001_003130_CIRINA Thankfully, Magnai restrained him before blood was spilled. The stranger is outside, if you wish to ask him questions.
331 327 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06001_003140_ALPHINAUD I think we do.
332 328 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06001_003150_LUCIA Who do we have here?
333 329 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06001_003160_JULLUS (-???-)Garleans!?
334 330 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06001_003170_JULLUS (-???-)Traitors to your homeland! Have you no shame!?
335 331 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06001_003180_LUCIA I am Lucia Junius, a Temple Knight of Ishgard. And you are?
336 332 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06001_003190_JULLUS Jullus pyr Norbanus. And that's all you invaders will get from me.
337 333 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06001_003200_LUCIA We are not here to invade Garlemald. Far from it.
338 334 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06001_003210_LUCIA Like you, our allies in Eorzea and the Far East fight in defense of their lives and their loved ones, even as we speak.
339 335 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06001_003220_LUCIA But it is the people of Garlemald who have suffered most. This we know. And that is why we have come to offer you our aid, that we may unite against our common foe.
340 336 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06001_003230_LUCIA Whether you believe me or not, those are the facts. Now, answer me this.
341 337 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06001_003240_LUCIA Why would a proud soldier of the Empire be reduced to stealing? The situation must be dire indeed for you to go to such lengths.

343 339 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06001_003260_LUCIA If it is supplies you seek, we would gladly share ours. Or turn a blind eye while you leave with your “spoils.”
344 340 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06001_003270_JULLUS I will not negotiate. My commander will determine how to deal with you and yours.
345 341 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06001_003280_JULLUS If you wish to treat with him, I will take you. But no more than three.
346 342 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06001_003290_YSHTOLA I don't much like the sound of that, but if we do accept his proposal, I suggest the two of us and...
347 343 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06001_003300_ALPHINAUD Please allow me and Alisaie to act as envoys.
348 344 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06001_003310_YSHTOLA May I ask why?
349 345 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06001_003320_ALPHINAUD We have seen with our own eyes the hardships the Garleans face. How their futures and lives hang in the balance.
350 346 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06001_003330_ALISAIE It's not the warmest invitation, but it's an opportunity to prove our intentions true. Maybe not a chance to make things right, but a chance to...make them better.
351 347 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06001_Q4_000_001_NONE_VOICE What will you say?
352 348 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06001_A4_000_001_NONE_VOICE I'm going with you.
353 349 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06001_A4_000_002_NONE_VOICE What would your mother say if I let you two go by yourselves?
354 350 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06001_003340_LUCIA I can see that persuading you otherwise is a lost cause. But you will proceed with the utmost care.
355 351 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06001_003350_JULLUS A couple of children and what─a sellsword? Is this an insult?
356 352 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06001_003360_LUCIA Not in the least. You will find that they are more than qualified to speak on our behalf.
357 353 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06001_003370_JULLUS There are many dangers on the road ahead. I will need that back.
358 354 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06001_003380_JULLUS ...These are their chosen representatives.
359 355 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06001_003390_QUINTUS (-Imposing Commander-)Very well. Let us hear what they have to say.
360 356 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06001_003400_JULLUS Yes sir!
361 357 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06001_003410_JULLUS I present to you our commander...
362 358 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06001_003420_JULLUS ...Lord Quintus van Cinna, legatus of the Ist Legion.
363 359 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06001_003430_ALPHINAUD The Ist? I had no idea you had survived!
364 360 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06001_003440_QUINTUS We lost our Emperor, our city, more than half our troops. For my wounds, I may never take the field again. But we survived, aye.
365 361 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06001_003450_QUINTUS In a manner much to your liking, I daresay.
366 362 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06001_003460_ALPHINAUD We have no intention of adding to your misfortunes. Nor do we bear you any ill will.
367 363 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06001_003470_QUINTUS Spare me. Though you children may speak in earnest, overtures of peace ever ring hollow in my ears. So long as man stands to profit from his neighbor's suffering, war is inevitable.
368 364 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06001_003480_QUINTUS Driven from our ancestral homeland into this blasted waste. Yet still you yearned to rob us of our paltry scraps.
369 365 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06001_003490_QUINTUS 'Twas only with magitek that you learned to keep your distance. Though we knew it was only a matter of time before you regrouped and returned.
370 366 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06001_003500_QUINTUS Conquest and empire were our only defenses. Emperors Solus and Varis understood this, and through their campaigns saw us grow and prosper. Much blood has been spilled in Garlemald's name, aye, but if it is a choice between yours and mine, then it is hardly a choice at all.
371 367 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06001_003510_ALPHINAUD I do not deny that a great many conflicts throughout history were driven by the desire─or necessity─to gain by another's loss. That is not why we are here.
372 368 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06001_003520_ALPHINAUD Nor have we come to petition your aid in the war with the Telophoroi, grave though that threat may be. Our purpose is simply this:
373 369 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06001_003530_ALPHINAUD We wish to help you. Let us help you. If there is aught that can be done to ease your plight, we would be glad to do it.
374 370 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06001_003540_QUINTUS Perhaps you would.
375 371 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06001_003550_QUINTUS But regardless of the ideals you espouse, your leaders would not send an army into Garlemald if they did not stand to benefit.
376 372 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06001_003560_QUINTUS If we accept their aid, they will expect their efforts to be rewarded once the Telophoroi are no longer a threat.
377 373 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06001_003570_QUINTUS And after compensation and concessions, the great Empire would be brought to heel. Her enemies rejoice at her downfall. Our third eye a mark of shame.
378 374 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06001_003580_ALISAIE We won't stand idly by and let your people be humiliated─and we're not alone in that. We only want to make a difference─to make this world of ours better. Surely you can understand that.
379 375 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06001_003590_ALISAIE What I'm trying to say is...there are so, so many people who just don't care about making you suffer. And maybe that's almost insulting after all the suffering you feel the world has subjected your people to, but...
380 376 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06001_003600_ALISAIE Believe it or not, that's the truth. And now we're here, and all we're asking is for you to tell us what you want. What you hope for.
381 377 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06001_003610_ALPHINAUD So much blood has been shed. So much lost. All because of this endless war. Who wouldn't want to end it?
382 378 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06001_003620_ALPHINAUD Can we not work together, to face our problems as one?
383 379 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06001_003630_QUINTUS Answer me this, young peacemakers.
384 380 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06001_003640_QUINTUS If a world without conflict is your desire, why reject the unity and prosperity of Garlemald?
385 381 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06001_003650_QUINTUS Is it because we do not share your faith?
386 382 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06001_003660_QUINTUS That we do not share your heritage?
387 383 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06001_003670_QUINTUS That our ideals and virtues differ? That we cherish and hold in the highest that which you do not?
388 384 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06001_003680_QUINTUS Disparity is the root of discord, and peace built on compromise is flawed and fleeting. Happiness for one and all is a dream, and the reality is that to the victor go the spoils.
389 385 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06001_003690_QUINTUS That is why we Garleans will never submit nor surrender. For freedom and for pride, we will remain true to ourselves until the bitter end. That is my hope.
390 386 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06001_003700_QUINTUS It seems there is nothing more to say on the matter.
391 387 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06001_003710_QUINTUS You will remain here while I decide what is to be done with you. Do not be alarmed. No harm will come to you─if you cooperate.
392 388 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06001_003720_ALPHINAUD We will not resist. However, as your “guests,” I ask that we be allowed to speak with the other members of your group.
393 389 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06001_003730_QUINTUS As you wish. I had no intention of locking you up, as by dawn you would be frozen stiff, and you are no good to me dead. You are free to move about the encampment. But there is one condition.
394 390 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06001_003740_QUINTUS Collar them.
395 391 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06001_003750_ALPHINAUD What are these...?
396 392 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06001_003760_QUINTUS Incentive. You will be watched at all times. Stray too far or act suspiciously and we will administer a rather painful shock.
397 393 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06001_003770_QUINTUS Stop. Keep away from that one.
398 394 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06001_003780_QUINTUS The champion of Eorzea is not so easily cowed.
399 395 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06001_003790_QUINTUS Even if <If(PlayerParameter(4))>she<Else/>he</If> allowed <If(PlayerParameter(4))>herself<Else/>himself</If> to be collared, the shock would be no more than an itch. No─if <If(PlayerParameter(4))>she<Else/>he</If> refuses to obey, we will activate the twins' restraints instead.
400 396 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06001_003800_ALPHINAUD You needn't worry about us.
401 397 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06001_003810_ALISAIE We'll forget we're even wearing them soon enough.
402 398 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06001_003820_QUINTUS Even now, you still... Why go to such lengths? What is it all for?
403 399 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06001_Q5_000_001_NONE_VOICE What will you say?
404 400 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06001_A5_000_001_NONE_VOICE Because even the most bitter adversary may one day see reason.
405 401 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06001_A5_000_002_NONE_VOICE On the coldest, blackest of nights...meager though it may be, we must share the warmth of our fire.
406 402 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06001_003830_QUINTUS You are a curious one. A far cry from the merciless barbarian others paint you to be.
407 403 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06001_003840_QUINTUS You will be their warden. Take them away.
408 404 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06001_003850_JULLUS Yes sir!
409 405 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06001_003860_THANCRED Finally escaped the watchful gaze of your keepers, have we?
410 406 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06001_003870_THANCRED Don't react. You'll only draw attention to yourself. Just carry on as you are and listen.
411 407 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06001_003880_THANCRED After you left with the Garlean lad, Lucia bade a few of us scouts follow you at a discreet distance.
412 408 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06001_003890_THANCRED We observed you being led into the station, but decided against venturing inside.
413 409 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06001_003900_THANCRED When you emerged some time later, and we saw that the twins were sporting magitek collars, it was clear what had taken place.
414 410 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06001_003910_THANCRED Now, as quietly as you can, tell me everything.
415 411 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06001_003920_THANCRED The legatus himself, eh? Now there's a surprise.
416 412 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06001_003930_THANCRED This is also the first I've heard of a plan to join forces with the Xth and storm the Tower of Babil.
417 413 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06001_003940_THANCRED An interesting development...and perhaps the opportunity we've been waiting for.
418 414 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06001_003950_THANCRED Our comrades back at the camp also received some rather promising news, but it's still too early to get our hopes up.
419 415 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06001_003960_THANCRED For now, keeping yourselves out of harm's way comes before all else. Whatever demands the Garleans make, indulge them.
420 416 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06001_003970_THANCRED With luck, this will all over be soon. Until then.
421 417 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06001_003980_JULLUS They had not gone far.
422 418 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06001_003990_ALISAIE We searched high and low, but no luck, I'm afraid. I might've guessed you'd be the only one to find anything.
423 419 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06001_004000_JULLUS I wasn't expecting much to begin with. Eventually, there will be nothing left out here for us to safely salvage.
424 420 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06001_004010_JULLUS For now, this will have to suffice. We should return to the station.
425 421 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06001_004020_COLLEAGUESOLDIER Ah, there you are. Heard you'd gone hunting for ceruleum above ground.
426 422 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06001_004030_COLLEAGUESOLDIER Brought back a king's ransom?
427 423 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06001_004040_JULLUS Hardly. But thanks to these three, we have enough to last a little while longer.
428 424 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06001_004050_COLLEAGUESOLDIER Well, well. It's not at all what I was expecting, these ones. For savages, they seem positively docile.
429 425 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06001_004060_COLLEAGUESOLDIER Ah, it's a poor attempt at humor. In all honesty, I'm grateful for your efforts. But even with another night of warmth, there are those among us who may not live to see the morrow...
430 426 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06001_004070_QUINTUS I trust your expedition was fruitful.
431 427 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06001_004080_JULLUS Lord Quintus!
432 428 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06001_004090_QUINTUS Use what you procured to refuel the armor.
433 429 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06001_004100_JULLUS But sir, what about the heaters for the camp?
434 430 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06001_004110_QUINTUS The time for action is upon us.
435 431 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06001_004120_QUINTUS My men and I have matters to discuss. In the meantime, you are to wait here. Do not forget─you are being watched.
436 432 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06001_004130_ALISAIE “The time for action”... What did he mean by that?
437 433 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06001_004140_ALPHINAUD I can only speculate. Clearly something requiring their magitek, given what we just heard. Whether they plan to utilize it now or after they join with the Xth is another question...
438 434 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06001_004150_ALPHINAUD Will they ever escape this cold? Return to and reclaim the idyllic spaces of which Jullus spoke...?
439 435 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06001_004160_ALISAIE Finished your war council?
440 436 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06001_004170_JULLUS Alphinaud and Alisaie are to stay here...as our prisoners. They will be released once your comrades have relinquished their supplies and withdrawn from Garlean soil.
441 437 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06001_004180_JULLUS Until our terms are met, they will be detained at a separate location.
442 438 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06001_004190_ALISAIE After everything we've said and done, this is how you treat us!?
443 439 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06001_004200_ALPHINAUD Our allies have but limited supplies. They may stave off cold and starvation for a short while, but what then!?
444 440 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06001_004210_THANCRED For now, keeping yourselves out of harm's way comes before all else. Whatever demands the Garleans make, indulge them.
445 441 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06001_Q6_000_001_NONE_VOICE What will you say?
446 442 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06001_A6_000_001_NONE_VOICE Do as he says.
447 443 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06001_A6_000_002_NONE_VOICE Everything will be all right. Have faith.
448 444 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06001_004220_JULLUS Get them out of here.
449 445 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06001_004230_JULLUS This is my home. <Emphasis>Our</Emphasis> home.
450 446 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06001_004240_JULLUS Least it was until that night. I was with Lord Quintus when the capital fell, and thus spared. My family, who did not own a radio, were less fortunate.
451 447 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06001_004250_JULLUS When dawn came, I made my way here. My parents...my little brother and sister...they were still inside...
452 448 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06001_004260_JULLUS But they weren't themselves, and they...they tried to... And I had to...
453 449 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06001_004270_JULLUS I'd promised to take them away from the capital that very morning. To somewhere safe, to hide until the fighting stopped.
454 450 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06001_004280_JULLUS I promised...
455 451 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06001_004290_JULLUS The Garlean flag bears a chain. The bonds between our countrymen.
456 452 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06001_004300_JULLUS A red link at its center─the blood of the fallen. Our loved ones who lived and died for Garlemald.
457 453 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06001_004310_JULLUS But if she, too, fell, who would be left to remember them and their sacrifice? What enduring proof would there be that they were ever here?
458 454 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06001_004320_JULLUS If we had turned to your gods, would they have saved us?
459 455 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06001_004330_JULLUS I'm sorry. Forget I spoke.
460 456 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06001_004340_JULLUS We should go.
461 457 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06001_004350_ALISAIE It's no use.
462 458 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06001_004360_ALPHINAUD Believe me, I do not enjoy being here any more than you. But he wanted us to play along, so that is what we will do.
463 459 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06001_004370_ALPHINAUD Believe me, I do not enjoy being here any more than you. But she wanted us to play along, so that is what we will do.
464 460 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06001_004380_ALISAIE ...It's so cold.
465 461 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06001_004390_ALPHINAUD Painfully so... Unbearably.
466 462 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06001_004400_ALISAIE I've been thinking about what Quintus said. About why no one would accept Garlean rule.
467 463 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06001_004410_ALISAIE Irreconcilable differences. When coexistence isn't an option, only conquest remains.
468 464 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06001_004420_ALISAIE Varis at Ghimlyt said much the same. Only by uniting the world beneath a single standard would we rid ourselves of the Ascians.
469 465 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06001_004430_ALISAIE United...as one people. One race, cleansed of “imperfections.”
470 466 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06001_004440_ALISAIE A cold and unforgiving vision. And when we fail to live up to their standards...what place is there for us in their world?
471 467 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06001_004450_ALISAIE But the truly sad, truly <Emphasis>frustrating</Emphasis> thing is how damnably similar it all is to the lofty ideals of Father and the Forum.
472 468 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06001_004460_ALISAIE Nonintervention─always nonintervention. Protect our knowledge and our people and to hells with the rest of you.
473 469 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06001_004470_ALISAIE And yet...I can see how it happened. Varis and Father looked to their elders for guidance and took their virtues as their own. For this world was of their making─in who else could they place their trust?
474 470 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06001_004480_ALISAIE All of us lost in a sea of chaos, searching desperately for purpose and meaning...but it shouldn't just be an extension of another's. It has to be ours. It has to be.
475 471 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06001_004490_ALISAIE We all have a stake in this world. No one should be silenced...
476 472 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06001_004500_ALPHINAUD I won't deny that we lack the experience of people such as Father or Quintus.
477 473 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06001_004510_ALPHINAUD Perhaps they've come to see the world as a series of problems, and the most efficient way of solving them to reduce everything to fundamental forms.
478 474 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06001_004520_ALPHINAUD A stone is a stone, a cloud a cloud, a flower no more than that. Simple descriptions that strip the subject of distinguishing characteristics.
479 475 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06001_004530_ALPHINAUD A man is a man. Divided according to race, creed, or allegiance─and to some, defined by such associations.
480 476 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06001_004540_ALISAIE Is that what <Emphasis>you</Emphasis> think?
481 477 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06001_004550_ALPHINAUD In my misbegotten youth. But what I believed wisdom was no more than aggressive ignorance.
482 478 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06001_004560_ALPHINAUD I've since learned to look beyond the banners and the politics. To see people as individuals with their own hopes and dreams.
483 479 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06001_004570_ALPHINAUD As for my dream of building a better world... Well, every day I am reminded that it is far more complex than I had ever imagined.
484 480 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06001_004580_ALPHINAUD But it only spurs me onward. To find the wisdom and the strength to see it through to the very end.
485 481 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06001_004590_LUCIA All of our supplies and an immediate withdrawal? These are your conditions?
486 482 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06001_004600_JULLUS Demands. And you forgot about the airship.
487 483 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06001_004610_JULLUS Once again, you will leave one behind. It will be used to return the prisoners. Their collars will be removed prior to the exchange.
488 484 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06001_004620_ALISAIE So in the end, not even Father's expertly worded rhetoric could deter you from your chosen course.
489 485 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06001_004630_ALPHINAUD Huh?
490 486 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06001_004640_ALISAIE Not that I thought for a moment that it would. I've no love for violence, of course, but ours is a cause worth fighting for. I just wish he'd realize it too.
491 487 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06001_004650_ALISAIE Sometimes the only way to protect the ones you love is to take a stand. To refuse to suffer in silence.
492 488 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06001_004660_ALISAIE I want you to know I share your conviction. Whether it be on the battlefield or in the debating chamber, I won't back down. I guess what I'm saying is...
493 489 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06001_004670_ALPHINAUD You've found your own reason to fight.
494 490 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06001_004680_ALISAIE Yes. Yes, I have.
495 491 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06001_004690_ALISAIE Gods willing, there will come a day when we can finally lay down our arms, and there will be peace.
496 492 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06001_004700_ALISAIE But not until the Telophoroi have been defeated once and for all.
497 493 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06001_004710_ALISAIE And you, Brother, will have a vital part to play. By your words and deeds, you'll lead the way.
498 494 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06001_004720_ALPHINAUD ...I pray I am up to the task.
499 495 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06001_004730_ALISAIE There'll always be naysayers. Those who think us fools for even trying.
500 496 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06001_004740_ALISAIE It's easy for learned elites to criticize earnest efforts and assert their moral superiority. All without offering alternatives.
501 497 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06001_004750_ALISAIE Not that their sophistry has ever wounded you. So stubborn and strong─stronger than you even know.
502 498 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06001_004760_ALISAIE Don't ever change, you hear me? If you stumble, I'll be there to catch you. Or give you a thick ear. Maybe both for good measure.
503 499 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06001_004770_ALPHINAUD Thank you, Alisaie...
504 500 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06001_004780_MAXIMA The scouts have secured Alisaie and Alphinaud. Their collars were removed without complication as well.
505 501 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06001_004790_MAXIMA They report no casualties─not for their party nor the guards, who will wake from their premature slumber in due course.
506 502 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06001_004800_LUCIA It would appear the situation has changed.
507 503 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06001_004810_LUCIA I propose new terms. We have information that will be of great interest to Lord Quintus, and I wish to speak with him in person.
508 504 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06001_004820_JULLUS No. In the event you rejected our first proposal, we came prepared with a second.
509 505 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06001_004830_LUCIA Ambush!

518 514 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06001_004920_LUCIA We received an urgent communication from the Grand Company of Eorzea.
519 515 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06001_004930_LUCIA Envoys from the imperial army, led by members of the Xth Legion, came to Ala Mhigo and requested an audience.
520 516 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06001_004940_LUCIA They explained that their efforts to coordinate the reclamation of the capital with the aid of the IVth, Vth, VIIIth, and XIIth had ended in failure.
521 517 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06001_004950_LUCIA Communication between most legions has broken down entirely. Most of the Xth's conscripts have deserted, leaving their forces severely depleted.
522 518 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06001_004960_LUCIA That is why, unable to continue the fight on their own, they and their allies turned to the Grand Company of Eorzea for aid.
523 519 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06001_004970_JULLUS Lies! Every word!
524 520 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06001_004980_LUCIA It is the truth, and I have not finished. The Xth has requested that we deliver a message to Lord Quintus.
525 521 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06001_004990_LUCIA “Have the iyl stand down.”
526 522 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06001_005000_JULLUS You have been listening, my lord?

531 527 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06001_005050_QUINTUS I release you from your duty. All of you.
532 528 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06001_005060_QUINTUS I take solace, Your Radiance, in the knowledge you are not here to witness our debasement.
533 529 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06001_005070_QUINTUS 'Twas a grand, glorious dream we shared.
534 530 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06001_005080_QUINTUS Of a world united. Of peace and prosperity.
535 531 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06001_005090_QUINTUS We are ghosts, you and I. Memories of days gone by.

537 533 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06001_005110_ALISAIE Quickly! We have to reach the station before it's too late!
538 534 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06001_005120_ALPHINAUD If there is still a chance that Quintus will agree to a truce, we must take it.
539 535 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06001_005130_ALISAIE I just hope we get there before he and his men do something rash...
540 536 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06001_005140_ALISAIE Is that all of them?
541 537 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06001_005150_ALPHINAUD The last of those who agreed to join us, yes.
542 538 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06001_005160_THANCRED We left heaters and provisions for those who wished to stay behind. They won't last forever, but hopefully they'll last long enough.
543 539 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06001_005170_ALISAIE For now, I think everyone's earned a rest.
544 540 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06001_005180_ALISAIE We'll see to those in need of medical attention, so take the others with you and get yourselves some hot soup.

546 542 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06001_005200_EMMANELLAIN Marvelous, isn't it?
547 543 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06001_005210_EMMANELLAIN All thanks to the resourceful machinists of Ishgard, I might add. On their behalf, I bid you warm yourself to your heart's content!
548 544 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06001_005220_SICARD Hold on. Your people might've scribbled a few things on a piece of parchment, but it was our Lominsan smiths that put the bloody things together.
549 545 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06001_005230_EMMANELLAIN Well, be that as it may...we single-handedly got the interior heating up and running again, didn't we?

551 547 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06001_005250_EMMANELLAIN “We”!? You barely raised a finger to help, you ale-sodden reprobate!
552 548 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06001_005260_SICARD I did a damn sight more than you, you lily-livered bilge rat!
553 549 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06001_005270_EMMANELLAIN Take that back!
554 550 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06001_005280_SICARD Make me!

557 553 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06001_005310_ALAMHIGANDELEGATION At ease, man. There's nothing funny in it.
558 554 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06001_005320_ALAMHIGANDELEGATION I'm from Ala Mhigo, but was a conscript until recently. Used to eat this with the officers.
559 555 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06001_005330_ULDAHNDELEGATION Apparently, it's adapted from a Steppe recipe. This is my first time trying it, and I have to say it's not half bad.
560 556 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06001_005340_GRIDANIANDELEGATION Hmm... It's a bit too flavorful for my liking...
561 557 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06001_005350_ULDAHNDELEGATION Perhaps compared to what you're used to.
562 558 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06001_005360_ALAMHIGANDELEGATION It's the little things that make life worth living, don't you think?

564 560 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06001_005380_LUCIA I know this is not a dream, and yet...
565 561 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06001_005390_LUCIA I felt the same way at the Dragonsong War's end. Every morning I would step outside and need to be reminded that it wasn't my imagination. That my world had been forever changed.
566 562 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06001_005400_LUCIA And just as I had I grown accustomed to the idea, again you change my world in ways I never thought possible.
567 563 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06001_005410_LUCIA Were it not for you and your fellow Scions, the rifts between man and dragon and myriad tribes might never have been bridged.
568 564 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06001_005420_LUCIA The Grand Company of Eorzea, the Ilsabard contingent... We owe it all to you.
569 565 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06001_005430_LUCIA We've shed many tears in recent days. Of pain and sorrow. Triumph and joy. I much prefer the latter.
570 566 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06001_Q7_000_001_NONE_VOICE What will you say?
571 567 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06001_A7_000_001_NONE_VOICE As do I.
572 568 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06001_A7_000_002_NONE_VOICE We often don't have the luxury of choice.
573 569 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06001_005440_LUCIA I am honored to fight by your side. As an Eorzean and Garlean both, I shall do all in my power to bring my peoples together.
574 570 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06001_005450_LUCIA Indeed. We can but do our utmost to unite these disparate peoples and lead them to victory.
575 571 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06001_005460_MAXIMA It is a remarkable achievement─everything that I and the Populares had hoped for and more.
576 572 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06001_005470_LUCIA Would that it had come sooner.
577 573 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06001_005480_MAXIMA Indeed. Too many are not here to see it. And yet...there is a warmth in my breast. As if they still share in this moment.
578 574 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06001_005490_LUCIA Yes. I know what you mean.
579 575 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06001_005500_LUCIA On a night like tonight, the wind and cold seem to pass me by.

587 583 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06001_005580_AMON The experiment was a success, but I fear our time is short.
588 584 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06001_005590_AMON I shall begin the preparations.
589 585 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06001_005600_AMON Now...it is time for you to awaken.
590 586 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06001_005610_AMON Good morrow to you. Here─have a taste before it gets cold.
591 587 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06001_005620_AMON Oh, but be sure to remove your helmet. Take a moment, too, to familiarize yourself with that borrowed flesh.
592 588 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06001_005630_AMON So? How does it feel? I, for one, find those first moments within a new body to be most refreshing!
593 589 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06001_005640_AMON We had a magitek engineer by the name of Aulus to thank for this method of soul extraction and implantation. I believe the two of you met briefly in Ala Mhigo?
594 590 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06001_005650_AMON His was a rather sticky end, wasn't it? Thankfully, he was thoughtful enough to leave behind his mindjack technology. I took the liberty of making some improvements─and selecting you as my esteemed test subject.
595 591 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06001_Q8_000_001_NONE_VOICE What will you say?
596 592 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06001_A8_000_001_NONE_VOICE Give me back my body!
597 593 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06001_A8_000_002_NONE_VOICE This is <Emphasis>such</Emphasis> a pain in the arse.
598 594 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06001_005660_AMON And permit you to go on a righteous rampage instead of partaking in this delicious meal? I think not.
599 595 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06001_005670_AMON Come now, to us Ascians, it is no different from trying on new clothes. Why not make the most of it by partaking in this fine cuisine?
600 596 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06001_005680_AMON I must say, I have gone to great lengths to reunite you with my lord.
601 597 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06001_005690_AMON When I discovered that his “friend” was in this neck of the woods, I suggested inviting you over for dinner.
602 598 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06001_005700_AMON He never deigned to respond, but I took his silence as a resounding yes!
603 599 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06001_005710_AMON Oh my! Daddy is pleased his grumpy little boy has finally found his playmate!
604 600 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06001_005720_AMON Ah. Exposition is in order.
605 601 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06001_005730_AMON The Garlean Empire has long outlawed all forms of religion. No gods to worship, no risk of summoning. Brilliantly simple.
606 602 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06001_005740_AMON But people, being people, must turn to something or someone in their hour of need. Who, then?
607 603 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06001_005750_AMON Why, His Radiance the Emperor, of course.
608 604 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06001_005760_AMON As you have observed firsthand, Garlemald has seen better days. The legendary Solus zos Galvus─dead. Provinces near and far─in open rebellion. Our bold new Emperor─assassinated! And that last one even sparked a civil war! What rotten luck.
609 605 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06001_005770_AMON The people cried out for salvation, their earnest pleas─one might even call them prayers─a supplication united for the Empire to reclaim her former glory.
610 606 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06001_005780_AMON And so their will did manifest, channeled through the corpse of none other than Emperor Varis himself!
611 607 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06001_005790_AMON And lo, the savior was born! The embodiment of the Garlean spirit, their Anima!
612 608 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06001_005800_AMON It calls to its subjects, compelling them to take up arms and fight.
613 609 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06001_005810_AMON And just as the wealth and power gravitate towards the Empire's capital, so too does aether, from every corner of the globe!
614 610 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06001_005820_AMON The towers with which you and your allies have been so preoccupied were created as an extension of Anima itself. An ingenious design...
615 611 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06001_005830_AMON Would you not agree, my lord?
616 612 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06001_005840_ZENOS Does the pursuit of prey you have bested before excite you?
617 613 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06001_005850_ZENOS Of course not. Absent the challenge, the thrill, your prize is a hollow victory. Butchery.
618 614 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06001_005860_ZENOS Perhaps you think that to be the extent of my promise. I have no doubt fallen in your estimation since Ala Mhigo.
619 615 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06001_005870_ZENOS Fair enough. But do not let your disdain deprive you─deprive us─of an opportunity to craft an even more majestic moment of euphoria.
620 616 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06001_005880_ZENOS I have been honing my craft as I set the stage for our reunion.
621 617 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06001_005890_ZENOS Wheresoever there is suffering and despair, you appear, to fulfill your duty as defender of this star.

623 619 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06001_005910_ZENOS At a loss for words? No matter. As you will learn, I have only just begun.

62 58 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06002_000560_LIVINGWAY (-???-)I know, I know─this one thousand two hundred and forty-third inspection is a mite ahead of schedule, but it is of the utmost importance! For Zodiark, alas, is no more.
63 59 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06002_000570_LIVINGWAY (-???-)As of now, our mighty moon has a new purpose! To bear the people of Etheirys to safety!
64 60 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06002_000580_LIVINGWAY (-???-)Our time is come, my friends!
65 61 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06002_000590_LIVINGWAY (-???-)We must be swifter than swift! There is much to do before our guests arrive.
66 62 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06002_000600_LIVINGWAY (-???-)I expect your work stations to be immaculate. And don't forget to relay our signal to Etheirys!
67 63 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06002_000610_LIVINGWAY (-???-)Questions? Yes? No? Maybe so? No? Then hop to it!
68 64 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06002_000620_URIANGER 'Tis a rather curious crew She hath chosen. Their endearing forms intended to ease the passengers' hearts, perhaps.
69 65 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06002_000630_THANCRED Perhaps...
70 66 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06002_000640_LIVINGWAY (-Snappy Loporrit-)Right, of course! Introductions are in order. Ahem!
71 67 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06002_000650_LIVINGWAY My name is Livingway, and we are the Loporrits. Created for the express purpose of commanding this ship and bearing the people of Etheirys to a brave new world!
72 68 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06002_000660_LIVINGWAY More specifically, <Emphasis>I</Emphasis> am the one whom She charged with the execution of Her most vital plans. You might say I'm Her right paw!
73 69 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06002_000670_MAPPINGWAY Mappingway's the name. Map reader and navigator of the heavens.
74 70 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06002_000680_THANCRED Pleasure to meet you all, but...I'm still trying to make sense of...this.
75 71 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06002_000690_LIVINGWAY Confusion and bewilderment are completely understandable. Fear not! I shall walk you through it.
76 72 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06002_000700_LIVINGWAY The people of Etheirys─through no fault of your own, I'm sure─set in motion a series of events that, unfortunately, culminated in Zodiark's obliteration.
77 73 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06002_000710_LIVINGWAY Acutely aware of the imminent crisis, your parents sent you little ones on ahead while they began the necessary preparations.
78 74 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06002_000720_LIVINGWAY Still not following? No? Very well! I shall elaborate further!
79 75 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06002_000730_LIVINGWAY Here we have Etheirys─your home─and the moon, where we are now.
80 76 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06002_000740_LIVINGWAY Without Zodiark around to keep things lively, so to speak, the celestial currents of the star have doubtless begun to degrade.
81 77 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06002_000750_LIVINGWAY A calamity of apocalyptic proportions will be visited upon Etheirys, bringing an end to all life. Very sad, that.
82 78 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06002_000760_URIANGER So too hath the watcher claimed. By thine unperturbed countenance, I gather this eventuality was anticipated?
83 79 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06002_000770_LIVINGWAY The doom and gloom? Oh yes, quite expected.
84 80 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06002_000780_LIVINGWAY Imagine, if you will, that Etheirys is a delicious carrot that I've forgotten to eat and left out in the midday sun.
85 81 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06002_000790_LIVINGWAY The most earnest wishes or prayers will not stop it from rotting to the core.
86 82 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06002_000800_LIVINGWAY So, sadly, there's nothing to be done but to abandon said carrot─Etheirys, in case the metaphor is lost on you─to its grisly fate.
87 83 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06002_000810_YSHTOLA ...And this moon will serve as the vessel to deliver us to a new home.
88 84 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06002_000820_LIVINGWAY Just so! We will gather up as many people, supplies, and resources as our stores will hold.
89 85 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06002_000830_LIVINGWAY And then, once everyone is aboard, it's off to another star!
90 86 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06002_000840_LIVINGWAY Easier said than done, admittedly, for one does not simply hop from star to star on a whim. Which is precisely why we've spent countless years constructing the most propulsive of propulsion systems!
91 87 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06002_000850_LIVINGWAY We ought to make it to our destination in two shakes of a rabbit's tail.
92 88 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06002_000860_YSHTOLA Impressive technology. I daresay it is beyond anything we have ever seen.
93 89 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06002_000870_LIVINGWAY No need to shower us with praise. All we've done is faithfully carry out the instructions left to us by Hydaelyn.
94 90 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06002_000880_LIVINGWAY Back in the old days, when She was still just Venat, She was dedicated to the study of the world and its inner workings.
95 91 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06002_000890_LIVINGWAY And the watcher─the real one, not the simulacrum you met─was one of Her fellow researchers.
96 92 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06002_000900_LIVINGWAY We and this wondrous vessel masquerading as a moon are products of their knowledge and know-how.
97 93 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06002_000910_THANCRED There's certainly more to you all than meets the eye. Might I ask where exactly you intend to take us?
98 94 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06002_000920_MAPPINGWAY We identified a few promising candidates for resettlement some time ago, but we cannot guarantee that they are fit for habitation.
99 95 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06002_000930_MAPPINGWAY Moreover, the ship can only travel in short bursts. We intend to go down our list, hopping from star to star, until we find one suitable for resettlement.
100 96 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06002_000940_LIVINGWAY No need to worry, though. The vessel is being refurbished with accommodation for an extended stay as we speak.
101 97 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06002_000950_LIVINGWAY While we did have to rely upon outside help to determine what amenities were essential, I daresay we have risen to the challenge.
102 98 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06002_000960_THANCRED Help? From who?
103 99 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06002_000970_LIVINGWAY From you and yours, who else? Each time we woke to perform regularly scheduled maintenance, we were greeted by the resources you sent us. What better way to learn about the preferences and proclivities of our present-day charges?
104 100 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06002_000980_LIVINGWAY Ah, but you're still adorable little children. Perhaps your elders were responsible for the deliveries?
105 101 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06002_000990_THANCRED I'm not sure what led you to conclude otherwise, but I can assure you that we are all grown men and women.
106 102 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06002_001000_THANCRED And I very much doubt my “elders” know this place exists, much less how to send you so much as a Starlight missive.
107 103 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06002_001010_LIVINGWAY What? Then who in blazes let you on <Emphasis>my</Emphasis> moon!?
108 104 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06002_001020_LIVINGWAY Hydaelyn <Emphasis>Herself</Emphasis> led you here?
109 105 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06002_001030_LIVINGWAY You don't say! Well, that's... Really? Not children? Then why are you so small and stunted? Like little baby carrot people?
110 106 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06002_001040_YSHTOLA While Amaurotines were a great deal taller, in the present day, persons of such prodigious size are exceedingly rare.
111 107 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06002_001050_LIVINGWAY So...you're saying everyone's not like the watcher?
112 108 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06002_001060_LIVINGWAY Confound it all! Someone could've at least scribbled a note about your profound miniaturization...
113 109 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06002_001070_URIANGER That tome in thy possession...
114 110 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06002_001080_LIVINGWAY Oh, this? One of the first books sent to us. A compendium of the people of Etheirys─with a few blank pages at the back for minor corrections and updates as needed.
115 111 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06002_001090_LIVINGWAY The sum total of our knowledge of your kind is contained in these pages.
116 112 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06002_001100_LIVINGWAY I thought it was abridged and made small for our benefit, but...this isn't a regular-sized book, is it?
117 113 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06002_001110_LIVINGWAY Ahhh!
118 114 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06002_001120_LIVINGWAY Buildingway, can you hear me? Yes, we're all very busy.
119 115 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06002_001130_LIVINGWAY Change of plans. I need you to rebuild the domiciles at one-third the scale.
120 116 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06002_001140_LIVINGWAY All of them. Yes, <Emphasis>all</Emphasis> of them! And but me no buts! See to it with all speed!
121 117 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06002_001150_THANCRED Perhaps you could tell us a bit more about your terrestrial collaborators.
122 118 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06002_001160_LIVINGWAY Yes, yes, in due time─but first I'd like to hear more about <Emphasis>you</Emphasis>, if it's all the same. I'd rather not risk any other complications due to outdated knowledge of our passengers-to-be.
123 119 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06002_001170_GROWINGWAY Readying the teleporter.
124 120 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06002_001180_GROWINGWAY Huh? Access to living quarters restricted due to reconstruction? Then where is it... Oh no!
125 121 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06002_001190_URIANGER A private audience, as thou didst request. For reasons I know not...
126 122 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06002_001200_LIVINGWAY Just a precaution. I'd rather I didn't have to ask the question at all, but I take my responsibilities very, very seriously.
127 123 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06002_001210_LIVINGWAY Do you and your friends, by any chance, find our accommodation wanting? Be honest. Brutally, even.
128 124 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06002_001220_URIANGER 'Twould be ungracious of me to belittle the efforts of thee and thine.
129 125 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06002_001230_LIVINGWAY Lovely sentiment, really, but the disappointment is writ plain on your comrades' faces. It's all the more frustrating since no one will come out and say what they find wanting!
130 126 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06002_001240_LIVINGWAY If there are faults in our work, we need to know. We can─we will─do better. But time is not on our side.
131 127 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06002_001250_LIVINGWAY The Final Days will wait for no one. If your people are to be saved, we must take quick and decisive action.
132 128 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06002_001260_LIVINGWAY This vessel must serve as a home for as many passengers as possible─for far longer than we may like. Which brings me to my request.
133 129 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06002_001270_LIVINGWAY Our collaborators on Etheirys are doing what they can to prepare for the voyage. Would you be willing to go and lend them a hand?
134 130 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06002_001280_LIVINGWAY Having seen the moon for yourself, you could speak to its many splendors. Learn what else they might require and assuage whatever concerns they have.
135 131 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06002_001290_URIANGER Wherefore wouldst thou entrust me with such a task?
136 132 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06002_001300_LIVINGWAY How to put it... You're the only one who appears not to be wholly unsatisfied with our work.
137 133 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06002_001310_LIVINGWAY Or quite good at pretending that's the case, at least. Calm, collected, tactful to a fault─very particular with your words, too.
138 134 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06002_001320_LIVINGWAY You understand that, in the face of great danger, one cannot pursue perfection at the expense of practicality. That difficult choices must often be made for the greater good.
139 135 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06002_001330_URIANGER And so fate doth conspire to set my feet upon this path once more...
140 136 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06002_001340_LIVINGWAY Come again?
141 137 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06002_001350_URIANGER Ah, idle musings. 'Tis no trifle thou dost ask, yet full well do I understand the urgency...and necessity...
142 138 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06002_001360_URIANGER I...
143 139 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06002_001370_GROWINGWAY Oh, dear me, dear me! I'm terribly sorry for the mix-up!
144 140 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06002_001380_GROWINGWAY It's a bit of a malfunction. I hadn't realized the residential quarters were inaccessible, you see...
145 141 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06002_001390_GROWINGWAY But you're still in one piece, so all's well that ends well, yes? Won't happen again. I promise!
146 142 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06002_001400_URIANGER Thine arrival is timely as ever.
147 143 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06002_001410_URIANGER Thou didst chance to overhear my conversation with Livingway, I presume?
148 144 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06002_001420_URIANGER 'Twas not mine intent to move in shadow. Nevertheless, I have been asked to do that and more yet again...
149 145 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06002_001430_URIANGER Is it so plain that these strangers could intuit it at a glance? My capacity for silence and secrecy...and duplicity.
150 146 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06002_001440_URIANGER When G'raha Tia did contrive to deliver the First at the price of his own life, I was complicit in the scheme. A sacrifice averted, for a mercy.
151 147 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06002_001450_URIANGER Would that I could say the same for Minfilia. One life for one world. And by that bloody bargain brokered by my hand were the Scions robbed of a dear comrade, and F'lhaminn her beloved daughter.
152 148 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06002_001460_URIANGER Two souls whose selflessness was beyond measure, whose resolve was unshakable. They would not be moved even had I thought to protest.
153 149 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06002_001470_URIANGER But protest I did not. Far from it. I pushed them forward.
154 150 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06002_001480_URIANGER No effort did I make to seek out alternatives. Ones that would not demand such terrible costs.
155 151 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06002_001490_URIANGER That resignation weigheth heavy on my mind, as does the memory of another lost to mine inaction.
156 152 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06002_001500_URIANGER Dearest Moenbryda, who did face death unflinching, that we might secure a means to bring low the Ascians.
157 153 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06002_001510_URIANGER In her hour of need, I did naught. Dutiful disciple of Louisoix, ever looking to the greater good...
158 154 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06002_001520_URIANGER Had I shut mine eyes and bid her live instead, mayhap she would be with us today.
159 155 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06002_001530_URIANGER Selfish wants born of everlasting regrets. Most days I put them from my mind, but could think of naught else when asked to swallow the same bitter draught. Subterfuge and sacrifice. Mayhap the right, moral choice, but one I regard with great trepidation.
160 156 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06002_001540_URIANGER The calamity of Amaurot was a tragedy beyond reckoning. One which must never again come to pass.
161 157 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06002_001550_URIANGER Thus must we struggle. Haunted by ghosts of those we have lost. Clinging to those we pray we can yet save.
162 158 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06002_001560_URIANGER But what of those we cannot?
163 159 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06002_001570_URIANGER How do we make peace with the dreadful algebra of necessity?
164 160 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06002_Q2_000_001_NONE_VOICE What will you say?
165 161 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06002_A2_000_001_NONE_VOICE Sometimes there's no right answer.
166 162 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06002_A2_000_002_NONE_VOICE Have faith in yourself and your decisions. Take heart and protect well those you can.
167 163 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06002_A2_000_003_NONE_VOICE Would that we had time to weigh the costs...
168 164 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06002_001580_URIANGER I am not alone in my discomfort, then?
169 165 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06002_001590_URIANGER 'Tis surprising...though perhaps not. We Scions are wont to debate strategy at length, but are resolute and unwavering in execution.
170 166 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06002_001600_URIANGER Sage counsel indeed...
171 167 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06002_001610_URIANGER I see. Wisdom as befits a great wyrm. Curious that he should think thee in need of such encouragement.
172 168 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06002_001620_URIANGER 'Tis a comfort to know we are of like mind in that regard.
173 169 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06002_001630_URIANGER Strange... Scarcely can I remember when last we spoke alone, and so candidly.
174 170 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06002_001640_URIANGER I thank thee. For all my supposed skill with words, I find it difficult to express such private thoughts.
175 171 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06002_001650_URIANGER As for the Loporrits' proposition...I will take time and consider how to respond.
176 172 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06002_001660_URIANGER 'Twould be to our mutual benefit if we could converse more openly with our aspiring caretakers...
177 173 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06002_001670_URIANGER ...A concern I should be glad to address on the Scions' behalf.
178 174 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06002_001680_URIANGER To dispense with all pretense and bear one's heart to another is a frightening thing indeed. But we cannot move forward ere we take that bold first step. A lesson I have learned many times before...and today.
179 175 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06002_001690_LIVINGWAY What are they saying? Curse these ears─I've heard bugger all!
180 176 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06002_001700_LIVINGWAY No matter. We've got our plans.
181 177 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06002_001710_URIANGER ...And what, pray tell, do we seek at the Watcher's Palace?
182 178 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06002_001720_LIVINGWAY Oh, come off it, friend! You know full well why we're here.
183 179 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06002_001730_LIVINGWAY The time has come for you to return to Etheirys and help your brethren prepare for their journey here and beyond!
184 180 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06002_001740_URIANGER Forgive me, Livingway, but I cannot in good conscience proceed with this plan.
185 181 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06002_001750_MAPPINGWAY Huh!? But what about the Final Days? The death and the doom!? We have to hurry before it's too late!
186 182 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06002_001760_URIANGER Your unflagging commitment to your duty is endearing, to say the least.
187 183 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06002_001770_PUDDINGWAY Oh, bugger!
188 184 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06002_001780_URIANGER Be at ease. They bear you no grudge, nor do I. How could we, having come to understand your purpose?
189 185 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06002_001790_URIANGER For millennia, you and yours worked tirelessly towards the singular purpose of this heavenly vessel's construction. An arduous feat by any measure.
190 186 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06002_001800_URIANGER 'Tis clear you have spared no effort. Why, your very names are a testament to your dedication.
191 187 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06002_001810_LIVINGWAY Our...our names? I'm not sure I understand what you're getting at...
192 188 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06002_001820_URIANGER Names are an expression of the self─a declaration of one's hopes and aspirations.
193 189 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06002_001830_URIANGER Your use of contemporary, uncomplicated nomenclature doth ensure clarity of purpose.
194 190 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06002_001840_URIANGER There can be no doubt that your love for the people of Etheirys is boundless and pure.
195 191 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06002_001850_SINGINGWAY Yes, yes! A most mellifluous phrasing!
196 192 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06002_001860_SINGINGWAY We Loporrits were born of Hydaelyn's love for Etheirys.
197 193 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06002_001870_SINGINGWAY That shining, shimmering blue jewel. Brightest star in the sky! Brimming with life and possibilities.
198 194 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06002_001880_MAPPINGWAY For as long as I can remember I've toiled in anticipation of the day when this vessel might be needed.
199 195 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06002_001890_MAPPINGWAY All I've ever wanted was to meet those She cherished so dearly. To serve and serve well!
200 196 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06002_001900_LIVINGWAY That goes for all of us, don't you see? So help us─help us help them! Lead them here, where we can keep them safe!
201 197 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06002_001910_LIVINGWAY If there's anything wrong with what we've built, we'll fix it! We'll make it right!
202 198 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06002_001920_URIANGER Your works want not for repair. Yet there remaineth much for you to learn of men, and your own kin besides.
203 199 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06002_001930_URIANGER Singingway. Thy name bespeaketh more than the simple marriage of rhythm and rhyme.
204 200 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06002_001940_URIANGER The songs of Etheirys are beyond counting, and span the length and breadth of emotion.
205 201 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06002_001950_URIANGER Maps are monuments to man's pioneering spirit and his devotion to charting the furthest reaches of our star.
206 202 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06002_001960_URIANGER Many have devoted their lifetimes to exploratory pursuits. To venture unto the highest mountains and the deepest oceans, in search of unknown frontiers.
207 203 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06002_001970_URIANGER And thou, my friend. I... Hmm. I do not think we have met.
208 204 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06002_001980_PUDDINGWAY My...my name is Puddingway...
209 205 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06002_001990_URIANGER Puddingway... Yes, indeed. A name of deep and abiding significance, I am sure, but one perhaps better communicated through delicious deeds than tasteless words.
210 206 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06002_002000_URIANGER A judicious application of fae magicks at a later juncture may be appropriate...
211 207 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06002_002010_URIANGER And Livingway. 'Tis no easy feat to convey the significance of thy moniker.
212 208 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06002_002020_URIANGER Hmmm... When I was a bookish boy, a dear friend of mine was fond of peppering me with questions as I read─to my occasional annoyance. One day I posed to her a question of mine own─what doth it mean to live?
213 209 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06002_002030_URIANGER After much contemplation, she proffered this answer.
214 210 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06002_002040_URIANGER The anticipation of a half-read story's conclusion. The hope today's mistake may serve as tomorrow's lesson.
215 211 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06002_002050_URIANGER The wish that a new acquaintance may one day call thee friend. She believed it to be all these moments and more.
216 212 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06002_002060_LIVINGWAY I...I want to understand, but...
217 213 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06002_002070_URIANGER I, too, still labor to find mine own answer. 'Twould be my pleasure to assist you and yours in embarking on a journey of self-discovery and enlightenment.
218 214 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06002_002080_URIANGER For thee.
219 215 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06002_002090_URIANGER Ink as blue as the waters of Etheirys. Made in haste, though I assure thee the quality has not suffered for it.
220 216 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06002_002100_URIANGER The people need not be persuaded by honeyed words. Nay, I have faith they shall do what is right in due course.
221 217 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06002_002110_URIANGER Until they do, I beg your patience, friends. And with that ink let us fill the empty pages of Livingway's compendium.
222 218 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06002_002120_URIANGER An open exchange of ideas will surely afford you all a better understanding of modern man─and with it, ideas for improvements and renovations.
223 219 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06002_002130_URIANGER But more importantly, it shall empower us to together find a way forward.
224 220 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06002_002140_LIVINGWAY I hope you're right. Thank you for this lovely gift.
225 221 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06002_002150_URIANGER There you have it. I shall remain with the Loporrits to ensure that all is in order.
226 222 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06002_002160_URIANGER Though we must needs prepare for every eventuality, you would all agree that the evacuation of our star is a last resort.
227 223 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06002_002170_URIANGER To accept failure is to accept the demise not only of our star, but that of Ryne's. Of all reflections, and the souls that call them home.
228 224 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06002_002180_URIANGER Which is why I have every faith that you shall fight to the last. That such drastic measures may prove unnecessary.
229 225 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06002_002190_THANCRED Should the worst come to the worst─and I pray deeply that it won't─I'll take comfort in knowing preparations were made under your watchful eye.
230 226 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06002_002200_URIANGER Aye, thou mayest be assured that if calamity cometh, not a soul will be left behind. “If” being the operative term.

235 231 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06002_002250_LIVINGWAY Er, I hate to interrupt, but...I feel like I need to make amends for all the secrecy.
236 232 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06002_002260_YSHTOLA Think nothing of it─we haven't been the most gracious of guests. Do convey our apologies to Growingway and the others.
237 233 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06002_002270_LIVINGWAY But of course! And when next we welcome more guests from Etheirys, we'll have learned to be much more hospitable hosts!
238 234 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06002_002280_LIVINGWAY Oh, and circling back to the matter of inappropriate secrecy, we ought to discuss our benefactors.
239 235 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06002_002290_YSHTOLA Agreed. The Sharlayan Forum, yes?
240 236 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06002_002300_LIVINGWAY What!? How did you know!?
241 237 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06002_002310_YSHTOLA The more I heard, the more obvious it became. The Forum's aims align closely with those of your anonymous patrons. “A telling coincidence” would be an understatement.
242 238 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06002_002320_YSHTOLA Though had we not taken it upon ourselves to peruse certain restricted tomes in Labyrinthos, we might still be unaware of their plans.
243 239 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06002_002330_YSHTOLA ...But let us continue this discussion upon our return. I daresay we have kept Alphinaud and the others waiting long enough.
244 240 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06002_002340_BARNIER Order! Order, I say!
245 241 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06002_002350_BARNIER I thank you all for gathering here on such short notice.
246 242 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06002_002360_BARNIER This day we must speak of grave affairs and their implications for the future of Sharlayan─nay, of this very star.
247 243 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06002_002370_BARNIER Said affairs concern all citizens, and so we have called for a public assembly.
248 244 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06002_002380_BARNIER You may have heard rumors of the Telophoroi, and the havoc these madmen wreak abroad.
249 245 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06002_002390_BARNIER Under normal circumstances, we would pay little heed to petty disturbances outside our borders. The “Final Days,” however, are another matter altogether...
250 246 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06002_002400_BARNIER ...For we dare not ignore these prophetic words of eld:
251 247 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06002_002410_BARNIER “The end-bearers will come, ushering chaos and calamity. The Final Days descend and devour the very star...”
252 248 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06002_002420_SHARLAYANCITIZENA I've never heard this prophecy.
253 249 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06002_002430_SHARLAYANCITIZENB Is it true? Will all that really happen?
254 250 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06002_002440_BARNIER Calm yourselves. The time is come to speak of the Forum's most sacred duties. But first...
255 251 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06002_002450_LEGISLATORA Give voice to the voiceless. Let bindings be unbound. By unanimous decree, I declare the enchantment broken!
256 252 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06002_002460_BARNIER Master Leveilleur, if you would.
257 253 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06002_002470_FOURCHENAULT Very well...
258 254 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06002_002480_FOURCHENAULT Two hundred and seventy years ago, our forebears began an expedition in the Dravanian hinterlands, in search of a route to access the aetherial sea.
259 255 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06002_002490_FOURCHENAULT This much is public knowledge. Their findings, however, would become the Forum's most closely guarded secret.
260 256 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06002_002500_FOURCHENAULT What those researchers discovered in the hinterlands was not a passage unto the aetherial sea, but the very heart of our star─and Hydaelyn Herself.
261 257 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06002_002510_FOURCHENAULT She spoke to them of a calamity that would extinguish all life, and of a means by which we might be spared.
262 258 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06002_002520_FOURCHENAULT The moon. 'Tis in truth a gargantuan vessel built to serve as sanctuary for Her children and deliver them from this doom.
263 259 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06002_002530_FOURCHENAULT Much like <Emphasis>Nyunkrepf's Hope</Emphasis> in ages past, it will bear the people of a world in the throes of death to a new home.
264 260 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06002_002540_BARNIER Needless to say, this would be no small undertaking. To facilitate the great work, the Forum has maintained close contact with the servants of Hydaelyn who presently reside on the moon.
265 261 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06002_002550_BARNIER Convinced that the foretold end was all but inevitable, we began amassing a wealth of knowledge. Not merely for the betterment of our nation, but in preparation for the journey to come.
266 262 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06002_002560_SHARLAYANCITIZENA You reveal this to us now? By the gods, how long do we have!?
267 263 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06002_002570_BARNIER While we cannot say with certainty, we believe the hour to be nigh. We received a transmission from the moon suggesting as much not long ago.
268 264 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06002_002580_BARNIER Which is why we must in earnest begin preparations for the great exodus.
269 265 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06002_002590_BARNIER For his impressive contributions and the leadership he demonstrated during our withdrawal from Dravania, we have elected Master Leveilleur to oversee this initiative.
270 266 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06002_002600_FOURCHENAULT Fellow scribes and scholars. My countrymen. We face a threat of unprecedented scale.
271 267 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06002_002610_FOURCHENAULT We must challenge the trials before us with composure and conviction if we are to find salvation.
272 268 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06002_002620_FOURCHENAULT The wisdom of Sharlayan has ever been a shining beacon in the darkness, and so it shall continue to be.
273 269 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06002_002630_FOURCHENAULT It is our solemn charge to see our heritage preserved for future generations. For those who will come after, we will brave a new frontier.
274 270 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06002_002640_BARNIER Administrative edicts will be relayed to all major institutions ere long. In the meantime, carry on with your duties. With that, I hereby call this assembly to a close.
275 271 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06002_002650_ALISAIE Do you remember what Mother told us when we visited home?
276 272 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06002_002660_ALISAIE That it wasn't until after we were born that Father seemed to lose himself in his work.
277 273 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06002_002670_ALISAIE If that <Emphasis>great work</Emphasis> of his was the evacuation of this star, then...
278 274 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06002_002680_ALPHINAUD Yes... It wasn't for his benefit...
279 275 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06002_002690_ALPHINAUD Would you mind waiting here a moment? I wish to speak with Father before we leave.
280 276 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06002_Q3_000_001_NONE_VOICE What will you say?
281 277 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06002_A3_000_001_NONE_VOICE Take your time.
282 278 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06002_A3_000_002_NONE_VOICE Keep it civil, eh?
283 279 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06002_002700_ALPHINAUD Thank you. I shan't be long.
284 280 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06002_002710_ALPHINAUD I may look daggers at him, but I will neither speak nor draw them.
285 281 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06002_002720_ALISAIE If it's all the same to you, I have a few choice words to share with Father as well.
286 282 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06002_002730_FOURCHENAULT So. Come to call us cowards and bid us join your fruitless battle against the inevitable?
287 283 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06002_002740_ALPHINAUD Nay, we do not object to the Forum's proposal. On the contrary, those who wish to flee have every right to do so.
288 284 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06002_002750_ALPHINAUD Urianger is cooperating with your associates on the moon to ensure that all is ready should evacuation be our only recourse.
289 285 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06002_002760_FOURCHENAULT Then whatever your business, I suggest you be brief.
290 286 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06002_002770_ALPHINAUD Though we cannot boast the boundless wisdom of Sharlayan, we have firsthand knowledge of foreign cultures, and have conversed with no small number of peoples.
291 287 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06002_002780_ALPHINAUD These experiences have taught us fundamental truths that cannot be recorded in any tome, nor charted on any map.
292 288 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06002_002790_ALPHINAUD The beating heart of this planet is its people, many of whom would give anything─even their lives─to protect the lands they love.
293 289 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06002_002800_ALPHINAUD Many may choose to join you in the end. But what of those unwilling or unable, for whom escape will never be an option? What would you have them do?
294 290 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06002_002810_ALPHINAUD To ignore the plight of those one might conceivably save is not wisdom, Father. It is indolence.
295 291 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06002_002820_ALPHINAUD This is why we choose to fight.
296 292 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06002_002830_ALISAIE We'll not ask for your understanding, Father. Only that you don't turn a blind eye to the good we have done. That we can still do.
297 293 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06002_002840_ALISAIE We're not children in need of protection. Hold fast to your principles and let the world burn, if it please, but we believe there is still another way.
298 294 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06002_002850_ALISAIE And if there is, we will find it. You see if we don't.
299 295 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06002_002860_FOURCHENAULT Do as you will. Just stay out of our way.
300 296 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06002_002870_YSHTOLA Were he not so consumed with self-righteousness, he might tell you how proud he is of you both.
301 297 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06002_002880_ESTINIEN Bold words call for bold action. And there'll be no turning to your father should plans go awry.
302 298 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06002_002890_ALISAIE As if I ever would. So long as there are those who wish to stay and fight for this star, we have to do what we can to help them.
303 299 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06002_002900_THANCRED And if we're to do that, we'll need to be well rested.
304 300 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06002_002910_THANCRED Wouldn't you agree? Having triumphed over what we once thought to be the source of all evil, I can think of no one in greater need of at least a dozen winks.
305 301 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06002_002920_ALPHINAUD Shall we, then? To the annex, to prepare for tomorrow!

315 311 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06002_002950_ALPHINAUD Ah. I hope I didn't wake you.
316 312 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06002_002960_ALPHINAUD I pray you will forgive the unannounced visit, but I wished to speak with you before retiring for the night...
317 313 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06002_002970_ALPHINAUD ...About Garlemald, and the time we spent with the people of Tertium.
318 314 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06002_002980_ALPHINAUD Dangerous though it was, I'm glad we had the opportunity to treat with Jullus and Quintus.
319 315 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06002_002990_ALPHINAUD I was worried what might happen after we were collared. If they attempted to restrain you too. If they succeeded...
320 316 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06002_003000_ALPHINAUD Once more I put you in harm's way. And for that I must apologize...
321 317 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06002_003010_ALPHINAUD Or rather...I should thank you. For trusting in me, time and time again.
322 318 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06002_003020_ALPHINAUD After all our journeys together, I daresay I've used every expression imaginable to convey to you my gratitude. Nevertheless, I hope these words of mine still carry some small weight.
323 319 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06002_003030_ALPHINAUD Tomorrow our fight continues. Mayhap it would have been better to seek you out after we have true cause for celebration...
324 320 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06002_003040_ALPHINAUD But having mustered the courage to stand up to Father and achieve a personal victory of sorts, I wanted to carry on in that spirit before my nerves got the better of me.
325 321 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06002_003050_ALPHINAUD The hour grows late, and you doubtless tire of my ramblings.
326 322 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06002_003060_ALPHINAUD I have a letter for Arenvald to finish, but will be off to bed shortly. Sleep well.
327 323 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06002_003070_ALISAIE Craving a midnight snack, were you? I did consider bringing a few sweets, but decided this wasn't an appropriate occasion.
328 324 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06002_003080_ALISAIE I couldn't sleep. Had a few things on my mind. I know it's late, so I'll try not to talk your ear off...
329 325 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06002_003090_ALISAIE It's Zenos. I keep thinking back to Garlemald, when he'd taken control of your body.
330 326 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06002_003100_ALISAIE An altogether terrifying experience, to say the least. And one that served as a harsh reminder.
331 327 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06002_003110_ALISAIE No one─no matter how strong or quick or clever─is invincible. Not even you.
332 328 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06002_003120_ALISAIE And as much as it might seem at times that you are...one misstep. One mistake...and that's that.
333 329 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06002_003130_ALISAIE Which is why, even though I know you've heard it a thousand times before, I'm going to tell you to take better care of yourself. Because you really, really should.
334 330 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06002_003140_ALISAIE It goes without saying that we're all committed to this fight, but that doesn't mean that we need to throw our lives away. You know how I feel about noble sacrifices.
335 331 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06002_003150_ALISAIE Right─that's settled! We'll be keeping the acts of gratuitous bravado to a minimum.
336 332 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06002_003160_ALISAIE When I looked Father in the eye and swore we'd find a way to avert this tragedy...
337 333 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06002_003170_ALISAIE It wasn't a promise just for him. It was a promise for you, too.
338 334 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06002_003180_THANCRED Evening. I hoped you hadn't crawled beneath the covers just yet.
339 335 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06002_003190_THANCRED If you'll indulge me for a moment, I have a favor to ask.
340 336 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06002_003200_THANCRED Don't worry. Nothing desperate or dire, if that's what you were wondering. Not yet.
341 337 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06002_003210_THANCRED You know, we may have quite literally entered our final days. The ancients went so far as to call it that for a reason.
342 338 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06002_003220_THANCRED If so, then everything we did for Ryne, for the First...will have been meaningless. And I can't accept that. I just can't.
343 339 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06002_003230_THANCRED My mind won't allow for the possibility...and that could be a problem. When we're in the thick of it, I don't know if I've got it in me to be pragmatic this time. To run...even if running's the right choice. The only choice.
344 340 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06002_003240_THANCRED So if you see me turning a blind eye to the harsh reality...beat some sense into me, would you?
345 341 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06002_003250_THANCRED I trust you and the other Scions with my life, and I'd like to think the feeling is at least occasionally mutual.
346 342 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06002_003260_THANCRED And I'd never forgive myself if my stubbornness put them in danger.
347 343 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06002_003270_THANCRED Gods, listen to me. I'm beginning to sound like the father I never had.
348 344 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06002_003280_THANCRED So, can I count on you to keep me in line? I can think of no one else more eminently qualified.
349 345 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06002_003290_THANCRED Excellent!
350 346 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06002_003300_THANCRED Now I can breathe a bit easier. Which isn't to say that I will, given what we're up against.
351 347 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06002_003310_THANCRED Let's keep this little chat our secret. I'd rather not have anyone scolding us for burning the midnight oil.
352 348 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06002_003320_YSHTOLA You're still awake. Good.
353 349 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06002_003330_YSHTOLA Might I trouble you to stand still for a moment?
354 350 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06002_003340_YSHTOLA Hmmm. Nothing appears out of the ordinary.
355 351 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06002_003350_YSHTOLA A precautionary measure. You will recall that serving as a vessel for abundant Light in the First very nearly ended poorly.
356 352 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06002_003360_YSHTOLA In your recent battle on the moon, you were almost certainly exposed to similar, if not greater forces. Fortunately, from what I can see, you and your aether are none the worse for wear.
357 353 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06002_003370_YSHTOLA Would that Ryne were here to confirm my assessment...
358 354 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06002_003380_YSHTOLA To think you actually found yourself in a direct confrontation with Zodiark...
359 355 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06002_003390_YSHTOLA As if Zenos gallivanting about in your body was not misfortune enough. Did you so grossly offend every single deity in a past life that they saw fit to place a curse upon your soul?
360 356 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06002_003400_YSHTOLA Forgive me, that was in poor taste. I recall vividly how battered and broken it was in the depths of Amaurot.

362 358 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06002_003420_YSHTOLA Promise me you will be careful. That you will seek my counsel if you feel unwell.
363 359 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06002_003430_YSHTOLA That puts my heart at ease, if only a touch. I suspect it will grow colder as the night wears on, so do be sure to stay warm.
364 360 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06002_003440_YSHTOLA Sleep well, and may the shadows keep you.
365 361 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06002_003450_GRAHATIA Oh, apologies. I-I didn't mean to... Ahem. If you could spare a moment before bed...
366 362 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06002_003460_GRAHATIA Thank you. I fear this may be the last quiet night we have to talk for quite some time.
367 363 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06002_003470_GRAHATIA I am...troubled, of late. Unwarranted concerns, perhaps. I hope. Nevertheless, I feel compelled to share them with you.
368 364 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06002_003480_GRAHATIA Though you have bested your enemies thus far─Zenos, and even Zodiark─your victories have come at a considerable cost to yourself.
369 365 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06002_003490_GRAHATIA No one is without their limits─and you are no exception. I worry the added weight of the Final Days will prove more than you can bear.
370 366 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06002_003500_GRAHATIA It is surely too much for any one <If(PlayerParameter(4))>woman<Else/>man</If>...
371 367 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06002_003510_GRAHATIA But you needn't bear it alone. Let me share your burden.
372 368 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06002_003520_GRAHATIA My, um...carrying capacity pales in comparison to yours, but I could still help. Shoulder the occasional satchel from your ever-growing mountain of, um...baggage.
373 369 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06002_003530_GRAHATIA You have already done so much to help relieve me of mine own encumbrances. 'Tis only fair that I repay you in kind.
374 370 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06002_003540_GRAHATIA Of course, it needn't be only troubles we share.
375 371 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06002_003550_GRAHATIA Moments of joy may seem few and far between now, but there will come a time when we look back fondly on this journey.
376 372 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06002_003560_GRAHATIA The inquiry at the Forum, our march through the snows of Garlemald, our impromptu dinner in this very room─all of it.
377 373 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06002_003570_GRAHATIA And that is to say nothing of the journeys yet to come. To the ends of the world and beyond!
378 374 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06002_003580_GRAHATIA Ahem. But tomorrow will be no less busy than today, and I have kept you from your rest long enough.

381 377 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06002_003610_ESTINIEN The twins thought now would be a wonderful time to pay a visit to my chambers. Rather than listen to them bicker over tonight's snacks and tomorrow's plans, I seized the first opportunity to make my escape.
382 378 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06002_003620_ESTINIEN To their credit, they decided against intruding on your peace and quiet.
383 379 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06002_003630_ESTINIEN It can all be a bit...exhausting at times, can't it?
384 380 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06002_003640_ESTINIEN I wasn't sure what to make of you at first. During the Dragonsong War, how quick you were to take up a cause not your own. But I came to see that is simply the way of you and yours.
385 381 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06002_003650_ESTINIEN I will not pretend to understand this talk of ancient primals and the Final Days.
386 382 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06002_003660_ESTINIEN But I trust in your judgment and choose to believe in your cause. You and Alphinaud have my lance. Now and always.

389 385 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06002_003690_ESTINIEN So do not hesitate to send me against your enemies. I'll make them rue the day they met me.
390 386 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06002_003700_ESTINIEN Now, if you'll excuse me. I could do with a little air.
391 387 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06002_003710_ESTINIEN If Alphinaud asks... I was never here.
392 388 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06002_003720_ESTINIEN Until the morrow.

395 391 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06002_003750_ALAMHIGANCITIZENB Thank the Ilsabard Contingent, more like. Word is they fought their way into Garlemald and toppled the bloody thing themselves. Not just the one, neither─all the towers have up and vanished.
396 392 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06002_003760_ALAMHIGANCITIZENA Aye, I heard the same. Commander Aldynn and his troops helped keep casualties to a minimum, too.

399 395 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06002_003790_ALAMHIGANCITIZENA I see. Well, that's a relief, then.
400 396 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06002_003800_ALAMHIGANCITIZENA I know we've brothers and sisters among the lot, but I can't say I'm eager to welcome them home...
401 397 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06002_003810_ALAMHIGANCITIZENB Won't need to think about it for a while yet. They're to be looked after in Ala Gannha for the time being...

79 75 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06003_000760_ALISAIE The tales we heard were much the same. The first victims to be changed into blasphemies were all overcome with anguish of one manner or another.
80 76 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06003_000770_ALISAIE Then those who saw their loved ones stolen before their eyes succumbed to a similar panic, setting in motion a chain of transformations.
81 77 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06003_000780_ALPHINAUD Fear, unease, despair...these negative feelings serve as a catalyst.
82 78 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06003_000790_YSHTOLA If so, then it is not unlike the calamity that befell the ancients.
83 79 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06003_000800_YSHTOLA With their creation magicks they unwittingly gave form to untold horrors.
84 80 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06003_000810_YSHTOLA Had they simply lost control, surely it would have manifested in many forms─not all of them monstrous.
85 81 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06003_000820_YSHTOLA Yet somehow this phenomenon is triggered solely by the darkness in their hearts. A common thread with what we now witness.
86 82 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06003_000830_ALPHINAUD ...Common, but not identical. While the beasts the ancients faced were forged with magic alone, those of today are born of sentient beings.
87 83 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06003_000840_ALPHINAUD Why remains to be seen, but there is one fundamental difference between us and our predecessors: our souls are sundered, whereas theirs were not.
88 84 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06003_000850_ALPHINAUD Perhaps that single variable makes all the difference.
89 85 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06003_000860_GRAHATIA If I may...there was another detail that troubled me.
90 86 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06003_000870_GRAHATIA We have it on good authority that Khalzahl's transformation took place before the skies began to burn.
91 87 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06003_000880_ALISAIE What!? If that's true, then the situation's more dire than we realized.
92 88 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06003_000890_ALISAIE It means even if there's no ominous sign presaging the Final Days, anyone─anywhere─has the potential to become a beast.
93 89 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06003_000900_ALISAIE Even in lands we thought safe. Even as we speak...
94 90 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06003_000910_HANNISHMANA Look, it's the satrap!
95 91 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06003_000920_HANNISHBOYA The satrap!
96 92 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06003_000930_HANNISHWOMANA Thank the heavens...
97 93 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06003_000940_AWAHEEN My countrymen. I am relieved and heartened to see you strong and safe.
98 94 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06003_000950_AWAHEEN While the danger has not yet passed─far from it─allow me to assure you that the beasts that raged within the city walls have been exterminated to the last.
99 95 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06003_000960_AWAHEEN Outside this sanctuary, the brave men and women of the Radiant Host and our dragon ally continue to battle our unholy foes.
100 96 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06003_000970_AWAHEEN I pray these tidings put your minds at ease, and help you calm your hearts. Have faith that we shall soon conquer this terrible trial.
101 97 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06003_000980_HANNISHOLDWOMANA Your Excellency...is there any word from Palaka's Stand?
102 98 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06003_000990_HANNISHOLDWOMANA My grandson was bound for there yesterday, and I-I worry for his life...
103 99 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06003_001000_AWAHEEN We are still awaiting a report. But I promise you, as soon as I have aught to share...
104 100 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06003_001010_MATSYA (-???-)Y-Your Excellency! I bring grave news!
105 101 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06003_001020_AWAHEEN You are...?
106 102 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06003_001030_MATSYA I...I'm Matsya of Akyaali. A humble fisherman.
107 103 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06003_001040_THANCRED Ah, I remember you from our first visit.
108 104 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06003_001050_MATSYA Hm? Wait, you're...
109 105 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06003_001060_MATSYA B-But no, that can wait!
110 106 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06003_001070_MATSYA When the skies turned red, I set off for Palaka's Stand, fearing for the safety of a friend.
111 107 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06003_001080_MATSYA But as I drew near the village, I saw dreadful beasts all about.
112 108 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06003_001090_HANNISHOLDWOMANA No... Gods have mercy...
113 109 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06003_001100_HANNISHOLDWOMANA Your Excellency! Save my grandson! I beg of you!
114 110 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06003_001110_AWAHEEN We will spare no effort to save all we can. But you must remain calm─
115 111 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06003_001120_HANNISHOLDWOMANA Calm!? You tell me to be calm!? You saw those beasts! They tore our bravest warriors limb from limb!
116 112 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06003_001130_HANNISHOLDWOMANA What if we are too late? If they catch him─sink their fangs into him...
117 113 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06003_001140_HANNISHOLDWOMANA The fangs...the blood...the screams!
118 114 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06003_001150_YSHTOLA Get away from her. Now!

141 137 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06003_001340_GRAHATIA Above all, stay calm. No beasts will follow you─we will see to that.
142 138 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06003_001350_THANCRED Alphinaud! Alisaie! Leave the city to us, and make for Palaka's Stand at once!
143 139 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06003_001360_THANCRED Matsya, show my friends to the village. I promise you─they're more capable than the Host's finest.

145 141 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06003_001380_GRAHATIA Go with them, will you?
146 142 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06003_001390_GRAHATIA We will save these people─as many as we can!
147 143 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06003_001400_SYSTEM_NONE_VOICE Meanwhile, in the skies above Thavnair─
148 144 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06003_001410_ESTINIEN No more enemies to trouble us here...
149 145 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06003_001420_ESTINIEN ...It's me. How fare you below?
150 146 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06003_001430_ESTINIEN ...Understood. I will inform Vrtra.
151 147 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06003_001440_ESTINIEN Chaos and panic sweep Radz-at-Han, and many more have succumbed to the transformations.
152 148 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06003_001450_ESTINIEN Amidst the fray, Ahewann fell...protecting a grief-stricken father.
153 149 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06003_001460_VRITRA
154 150 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06003_001470_ESTINIEN My friends fight alongside your Radiant Host to secure the capital.
155 151 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06003_001480_ESTINIEN Beasts have been sighted in Palaka's Stand as well. We have divided our forces in hopes of quelling the threat there.
156 152 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06003_001490_ESTINIEN Of small solace is that we now know what triggers the transformation. As my companions tell it...
157 153 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06003_001500_VRITRA So it is the very fear and despair in their hearts which inflict this abhorrent punishment upon them...
158 154 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06003_001510_VRITRA ...A nightmare from which my children will never awake. O capricious and cruel fate─they are undeserving of such condemnation...
159 155 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06003_001520_ESTINIEN Will you wallow in sorrow or rise to the occasion?
160 156 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06003_001530_ESTINIEN Radz-at-Han is leaderless. Before he passed, Ahewann sought to reveal the truth to his people. Honor his wishes.
161 157 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06003_001540_VRITRA To what end? To breed a new conflict between dragon and man?
162 158 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06003_001550_VRITRA These claws could reduce thee to shreds with a touch. These jaws, crush thy bones to dust.
163 159 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06003_001560_VRITRA Only through my proxy could I walk with my children. Without him, I am a bringer of fear─no different from the beasts which beleaguer them.
164 160 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06003_001570_ESTINIEN Perhaps so...
165 161 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06003_001580_ESTINIEN Only in death were Hraesvelgr and Shiva united. Indeed, whenever man and dragon have come together, death has ever been the inevitable result.
166 162 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06003_001590_ESTINIEN 'Twas our fear of your kind that sparked a nigh-endless war.
167 163 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06003_001600_ESTINIEN Fear and hate of which Nidhogg drank deep as he laid waste to my homeland.
168 164 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06003_001610_ESTINIEN And in turn I took my revenge on his brood. Blood for blood; pain for pain. I thought nothing of theirs─only of mine.
169 165 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06003_001620_ESTINIEN And yet...were the chasm between us too vast and too deep, Hraesvelgr would not have borne Ysayle to battle and our rescue.
170 166 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06003_001630_ESTINIEN He would have never entrusted a mortal champion with one of his eyes, and the Dragonsong War would still rage on.
171 167 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06003_001640_ESTINIEN And I would still wage a never-ending war of violence and vengeance, the future of our star be damned.
172 168 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06003_001650_ESTINIEN I cannot speak for Ahewann's greater goals. Yet I know that he served you─served your people─long and true.
173 169 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06003_001660_ESTINIEN In this time of unprecedented crisis, he turned to you. You could do worse than to place your trust in him.
174 170 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06003_001670_ESTINIEN It will not be easy, but the future of Radz-at-Han hangs in the balance.
175 171 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06003_001680_ESTINIEN We have company!
176 172 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06003_001690_VRITRA I am ready.
177 173 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06003_001700_ESTINIEN The hour is come, Vrtra. It's all or nothing!
178 174 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06003_001710_ALPHINAUD Courage, friend. The pain will pass.
179 175 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06003_001720_MATSYA Has anyone seen Mehvan?
180 176 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06003_001730_MATSYA Where could she be...?
181 177 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06003_001740_ALISAIE We've dealt with all the blasphemies...and made certain no villagers are still in hiding.
182 178 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06003_001750_ALPHINAUD Good work. We've otherwise tended to the wounded as best we can.
183 179 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06003_001760_PALAKASMAN What will become of us?
184 180 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06003_001770_PALAKASWOMANA Help is on the way, surely. We may have to abandon our homes now, but we will return. Someday.
185 181 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06003_001780_PALAKASMAN But where can we go? Is anywhere even safe?
186 182 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06003_001790_PALAKASWOMANA That, I cannot say...
187 183 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06003_001800_PALAKASWOMANB Well, I can. Nowhere's safe! Run all you like, but there's no escaping these things!
188 184 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06003_001810_PALAKASWOMANB And even if I could...it's too late for my family!
189 185 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06003_001820_PALAKASWOMANB
190 186 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06003_001830_ALISAIE This isn't good. The more they dwell on the tragedy, the more likely we are to lose them, too...
191 187 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06003_001840_MATSYA My friends! This...this is a place of worship!
192 188 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06003_001850_MATSYA Should your heart quake with sadness, cast your mind to the heavens and remember.
193 189 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06003_001860_MATSYA Remember the teachings of the old gods. Did they not implore us to stand fast when waves of sorrow break against our shores?
194 190 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06003_001870_PALAKASWOMANA Know this, my children. There is more ugliness than beauty in this world.
195 191 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06003_001880_PALAKASWOMANA To live is to suffer. To drink of calamity and drown in anguish. To toil and be tested, always and ever.
196 192 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06003_001890_PALAKASOLDMAN 'Tis a perilous path you walk. Death lurks in the dark, and is the sole promise that awaits at journey's end.
197 193 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06003_001900_PALAKASOLDMAN You will tremble with terror. You will weep tears of anger and despair...
198 194 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06003_001910_PALAKASMAN ...But do not avert your eyes. See your life for what it is.
199 195 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06003_001920_PALAKASMAN Then will you see how the hardships make you strong.
200 196 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06003_001930_PALAKASWOMANB Every doubt reforged as scales for your armor.
201 197 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06003_001940_PALAKASWOMANB Every agony to temper your blade...
202 198 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06003_001950_PALAKASOLDMAN Thank you, lad. We'd almost forgotten who we are.
203 199 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06003_001960_PALAKASOLDMAN My undying gratitude to you as well, my friends.
204 200 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06003_001970_PALAKASOLDMAN You were searching for Mehvan, no? We must return home. I pray you help the boy find his friend.
205 201 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06003_001980_ALPHINAUD Gladly. We dispatched what beasts we could, but the roads are still dangerous. Stay together, and go in safety.
206 202 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06003_001990_ALISAIE That was very impressive, what you did back there. Those words seemed to resonate with your people.
207 203 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06003_002000_MATSYA They should. They were the first spoken unto our ancestors by the divinity of legend.
208 204 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06003_002010_MATSYA I'm easily upset, and fish are wont to flee a temperamental hand. So I recite the teachings, over and over, to calm myself.
209 205 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06003_002020_ALISAIE They're lovely and inspiring to hear. Though I imagine they were born of great misfortune.
210 206 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06003_002030_MATSYA They are born of life. There's as much bad as good in it─more, many would attest. All the more reason to appreciate the good when you can.
211 207 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06003_002040_ALPHINAUD I won't argue with that.
212 208 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06003_002050_HYDAELYN (-Hydaelyn-)In darkness seek joy. Surrender not to sadness, and see beyond despair. Walk free, and bear the light for others to follow.

214 210 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06003_002070_ALISAIE Did you see!? That beast was chasing someone!

250 246 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06003_002420_MATSYA She is all that remains of Mehvan and Qerasaf. Please!
251 247 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06003_002430_ESTINIEN Well, well. Seems the babe's taken a liking to you.
252 248 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06003_002440_VRITRA Thou art strong, little one. Let us convey thee to thy home.
253 249 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06003_002450_ESTINIEN Phew...
254 250 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06003_002460_ESTINIEN I spied our friends as we flew in...they appeared to be holding their own against the horde.
255 251 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06003_002470_ALISAIE Right. That's the last of them. We should hurry and find Matsya...
256 252 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06003_Q1_000_001_NONE_VOICE What will you say?
257 253 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06003_A1_000_001_NONE_VOICE I have a feeling he'll be fine.
258 254 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06003_A1_000_002_NONE_VOICE He had help. From on high.
259 255 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06003_002480_ALISAIE Really? How can you be so sure?
260 256 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06003_002490_ALISAIE What, like divine aid...?
261 257 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06003_002500_ESTINIEN A fine battle it must have been. Shame I missed it.
262 258 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06003_002510_ALPHINAUD Estinien! It was you who came to Matsya's aid?
263 259 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06003_002520_ESTINIEN I was only along for the ride─Vrtra was the one who saw the boy was in need. The two are headed back to the village.
264 260 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06003_002530_ALPHINAUD Where the wyrm will honor Ahewann's wishes and finally reveal himself to his people...
265 261 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06003_002540_ESTINIEN Perhaps so. Will you go and join them?
266 262 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06003_002550_ALISAIE There's something I need to do first.
267 263 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06003_002560_ALISAIE Mehvan gave her life so that her child might live. She deserves better than to be left to drift alone.
268 264 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06003_002570_ALISAIE She deserves to be laid to rest beside her husband, at least. Will you help me?
269 265 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06003_002580_HANNISHMANB Look! Someone's coming!
270 266 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06003_002590_VARSHAHN People of Radz–at–Han. It warms my heart to see so many brave, resilient souls before me.
271 267 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06003_002600_VARSHAHN Today, I would share with you a great revelation. But before I do, I must make a humble request...
272 268 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06003_002610_VARSHAHN Do not be alarmed, nor avert your eyes. See the one I unveil for who he is, and know that he means you no harm.
273 269 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06003_002620_HANNISHMANB Very well. I daresay it can't be worse than the horrors we've already seen.
274 270 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06003_002630_VARSHAHN ...Many thanks.
275 271 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06003_002640_HANNISHOLDWOMANB A dragon!
276 272 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06003_002650_HANNISHBOYB Wow!
277 273 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06003_002660_VRITRA People of Radz–at–Han. I am Vrtra, and for years uncounted hath this isle served as mine abode.
278 274 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06003_002670_VRITRA 'Tis as the satrap's ally I am known. Today, I would reveal the truth unto you.
279 275 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06003_002680_GRAHATIA Let us hope they accept him.
280 276 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06003_002690_HANNISHMANB If I am hearing this right, you were the satrap all along!?
281 277 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06003_002700_HANNISHBOYB Varshahn─ I mean, Master Vrtra... D-Does your divine eye really see all?
282 278 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06003_002710_VRITRA ...Nay, child. While mine eye hath borne witness to the whole of our nation's history, to its future I am blind as thee.
283 279 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06003_002720_VRITRA Countrymen. Calamity the likes of which we have never known is come to Thavnair. Our home.
284 280 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06003_002730_VRITRA Friends and loved ones have been taken from us. I, too, have lost my closest confidant.
285 281 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06003_002740_VRITRA Ahewann loved this land, and served it with dignity till his dying breath. A nobler satrap there will never be.
286 282 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06003_002750_VRITRA For so long, I lacked the courage to face you. I will not easily earn your trust─this I know.
287 283 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06003_002760_VRITRA And yet, I cannot sit idly by and abandon Radz–at–Han to her fate.
288 284 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06003_002770_VRITRA A font of boundless vibrancy, this jewel of the ocean. Since time immemorial hath she glittered with every color imaginable.
289 285 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06003_002780_VRITRA To this dragon slumbering in his dark lair, 'twas a mesmerizing sight─and one that brought no end of joy to my heart.
290 286 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06003_002790_VRITRA This calamity hath stolen too much from you already. Yet so long as you live, the light of Radz-at-Han will never be extinguished.
291 287 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06003_002800_VRITRA I pray you let me watch over it...over you.
292 288 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06003_002810_VRITRA And lend me your strength, that we might face this trial and those to come as one.
293 289 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06003_002820_HANNISHOLDWOMANB I do not know you, dragon. But I thank you for speaking the truth to us.
294 290 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06003_002830_HANNISHOLDWOMANB As divinities both Manusya and Mrga once joined together, so too do I believe that, hand in hand, we can overcome this ordeal, and welcome an era of peace.
295 291 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06003_002840_ALPHINAUD ...A sight that would have surely brought a smile to Ysayle's face.
296 292 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06003_002850_ESTINIEN ...Indeed.
297 293 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06003_002860_FOURCHENAULT Excuse me, but I must speak with the satrap at once.
298 294 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06003_002870_ALISAIE Father!
299 295 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06003_002880_FOURCHENAULT You have suffered dearly of late. Yet you must endeavor to look beyond these losses to the future you yet have.
300 296 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06003_002890_FOURCHENAULT On behalf of the Forum of Sharlayan, I come with a proposal by which you, the people of Radz-at-Han, might be saved.
301 297 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06003_002900_FOURCHENAULT I say again, I must speak with your satrap. I beseech you─take me to him with all possible haste.
302 298 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06003_002910_VRITRA I am satrap here. Speak thy proposal. All present shall hear and judge.
303 299 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06003_002920_FOURCHENAULT If I have given offense, then I apologize. First, allow me to share with you what knowledge we have of the phenomenon responsible for your woes: the Final Days.
304 300 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06003_002930_FOURCHENAULT 'Tis an affliction of stagnancy and rot sown into the currents of the star. Though the first prominent manifestation was here in Thavnair, it will invariably spread to every corner of the world.
305 301 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06003_002940_FOURCHENAULT The Forum was forewarned of this apocalypse several centuries ago.
306 302 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06003_002950_FOURCHENAULT Thenceforth, my predecessors sought to prepare for the end times in the only conceivable fashion: by securing a means of escape.
307 303 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06003_002960_HANNISHMANB Escape the star? What madness is this!?
308 304 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06003_002970_FOURCHENAULT 'Tis by no means madness.
309 305 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06003_002980_FOURCHENAULT With the coming of the Seventh Umbral Calamity, the true nature of the red moon Dalamud was revealed─that it was an artificial construct of ancient Allag.
310 306 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06003_002990_FOURCHENAULT But what of the silver moon?
311 307 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06003_003000_FOURCHENAULT This celestial satellite is yet another technological marvel fashioned and maintained by ancient allies. A ship that will sail the heavens and deliver our people from destruction.
312 308 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06003_003010_FOURCHENAULT And by our people, I speak not only of Sharlayan. We mean to save every man, woman, and child it is within our power to save.
313 309 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06003_003020_FOURCHENAULT Including you, our dear friends of Radz–at–Han. Recent events necessitate adjustments be made, and quickly, but we can and will escort you safely to the moon.
314 310 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06003_003030_VRITRA Long has thy Forum been allies to Thavnair. I trust thou dost not extend this offer lightly.
315 311 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06003_003040_VRITRA Yet I wonder...is this truly the way? Is there a future to be built for us beyond this star our father deemed the last bastion of hope?
316 312 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06003_003050_FOURCHENAULT It is for that very reason I come before you and your people. To answer any and all of your questions. To offer my assurances and allay your fears.
317 313 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06003_003060_FOURCHENAULT ...Though if you wish the best for your people, I advise you to render your decision swiftly.
318 314 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06003_003070_VRITRA Show our friends to Meghaduta. They are to be received as honored guests.
319 315 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06003_003080_VRITRA Worry not. Whatever decision is reached, your paths shall be yours to decide.
320 316 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06003_003090_VRITRA Until then, heed the warning of these brave heroes─guard your hearts against fear and despair, for it is within such fertile soil that the seeds of blasphemy find purchase.
321 317 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06003_003100_VRITRA Remain calm and attend to your daily tasks. I shall return anon.
322 318 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06003_003110_HANNISHBOYB We'll do as you say, Master Vrtra. We believe in you!
323 319 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06003_003120_NIDHANA Oh, you're still here! What a relief!
324 320 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06003_003130_ALISAIE Nidhana? What's the matter? Has something happened at Palaka's Stand?
325 321 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06003_003140_NIDHANA Oh, no! Not that I know of. I'd just hoped to hear your thoughts on a theory of mine.
326 322 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06003_003150_NIDHANA All who undergo the transformation are drained of their aether, yes? What is it, then, that gives these beasts the strength to carry on as they do?
327 323 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06003_003160_NIDHANA Logically, they must be drawing upon an alternate form of vital energy. That put me in mind of our earlier conversation, when I tried to explain the essence which many confuse with aether.
328 324 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06003_003170_YSHTOLA Akasa... Yes, I remember. The unseen gift bestowed from on high...
329 325 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06003_003180_YSHTOLA An energy influenced solely by emotion!
330 326 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06003_003190_NIDHANA Yes, yes. In this instance, negative ones set akasa into motion, thereby infusing the beasts with vitality. I posit this is the mechanism by which the beasts are born and sustained.
331 327 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06003_003200_NIDHANA Ah─do you still have that flower?
332 328 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06003_003210_NIDHANA If we accept that it once shone bright by drawing upon akasa influenced by the thoughts of those nearby...
333 329 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06003_003220_NIDHANA Then fear, terror, despair─negative emotions so powerful as to suffocate it─permeated the air in this place.
334 330 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06003_003230_NIDHANA You must be very careful. The forces which drive the Final Days may be beyond our ability to perceive.
335 331 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06003_003240_NIDHANA Sorry...I didn't mean to scare you like that. At any rate, I will continue my research into akasa.
336 332 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06003_003250_NIDHANA Do temper your expectations, however. There are sadly few detailed studies upon which I may draw.
337 333 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06003_003260_YSHTOLA Formulating a new theory, as you have, is itself no small feat. I wish you well in your endeavors, and pray you take care.
338 334 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06003_003270_NIDHANA Thank you. You stay safe as well, yes? Till next we meet─and we will meet again!
339 335 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06003_003280_YSHTOLA So blasphemies now plague all the realm...
340 336 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06003_003290_ALPHINAUD It will only get worse, if what Father said is true. As it did in Amaurot...
341 337 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06003_003300_THANCRED If that's our model, then shouldn't we expect the effects to grow more severe as it feeds off its own spread?
342 338 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06003_003310_THANCRED As if people transforming into those monstrosities wasn't bad enough, if the flora and fauna─if the land itself turned against us...
343 339 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06003_003320_ESTINIEN ...No one would survive.
344 340 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06003_003330_MIHLEEL Here's your order, friend.
345 341 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06003_003340_MIHLEEL May you find comfort in these dark times.
346 342 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06003_003350_ALISAIE Where do we go from here?
347 343 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06003_003360_ALISAIE If there's one thing we've learned, fighting blindly and simply reacting to what comes will accomplish nothing.
348 344 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06003_003370_ALISAIE We must find a solution that addresses the fundamental cause. Before our strength is exhausted. Before this crisis spirals out of control!
349 345 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06003_003380_ALISAIE Is there something...anything we've overlooked?
350 346 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06003_003390_YSHTOLA If there is an answer, Hydaelyn Herself will have it. 'Twas She who bound Zodiark and forestalled the Final Days.
351 347 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06003_003400_YSHTOLA Alas, we have heard naught from Her since the Tower of Babil. Whether She cannot or will not speak, I can only speculate...
352 348 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06003_003410_YSHTOLA Even the flower She gave us is no more...
353 349 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06003_003420_WATCHEROFMOON <UIForeground>F20223</UIForeground>In our time, we called it “Elpis”... You would do well to remember the name.<UIForeground>01</UIForeground>
354 350 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06003_003430_YSHTOLA So advised the watcher...but what could be the significance of that name? It is entirely unfamiliar to me.
355 351 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06003_003440_ALPHINAUD To me as well. It meant something to the ancients, though. “In <Emphasis>our</Emphasis> time...”
356 352 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06003_003450_YSHTOLA Most surely. Yet I do not recall a single mention of it in the records of Anyder.
357 353 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06003_003460_ALISAIE Another dead end, and quite literally. It's not as if there are any ancients living we could go and ask...
358 354 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06003_003470_GRAHATIA Not alive as such...but not quite dead...
359 355 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06003_003480_GRAHATIA ...Elidibus.
360 356 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06003_003490_GRAHATIA I sealed him in the white auracite of the Crystal Tower, back on the First.
361 357 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06003_003500_GRAHATIA Contained within that reservoir of aether that maintains it─aether that is returned little by little to the sea...naught may remain of his soul.
362 358 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06003_003510_GRAHATIA However, if part of it lingers...we might be able to speak with him there.
363 359 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06003_003520_GRAHATIA I─no, we can no longer make that journey. But you, my friend, still can.
364 360 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06003_Q2_000_001_NONE_VOICE What will you say?
365 361 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06003_A2_000_001_NONE_VOICE It's worth a try.
366 362 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06003_A2_000_002_NONE_VOICE It would be an opportunity to look in on the others as well.
367 363 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06003_A2_000_003_NONE_VOICE If there is truly no other way...
368 364 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06003_003530_GRAHATIA Yes, we can but act and hope for the best!
369 365 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06003_003540_GRAHATIA Thank you, my friend. That would mean much to me.
370 366 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06003_003550_GRAHATIA I understand your trepidation, but there is merit in making the journey regardless. You could see with your own eyes whether the First, too, faces its Final Days.
371 367 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06003_003560_THANCRED If nothing else, should we learn the First is safe, we'll have that much more reason to keep fighting the good fight.
372 368 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06003_003570_THANCRED That said...the odds are not in our favor, to say the least.
373 369 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06003_003580_THANCRED Which is why we're fortunate to have Urianger up there on the moon, working hard to make all the necessary preparations for our departure, should it come to it.
374 370 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06003_003590_ALISAIE ...And why we have nothing to lose by staying the course till the last instant!
375 371 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06003_003600_YSHTOLA Indeed. To the last, let us all do what we can.
376 372 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06003_003610_YSHTOLA I will consult with Master Matoya and see if she knows of a way to reach Hydaelyn from the aetherial sea.
377 373 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06003_003620_ALPHINAUD And I will visit the nations' leaders and attempt to ascertain how far the Final Days have progressed elsewhere.
378 374 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06003_003630_ESTINIEN Keep me abreast of your findings. I can seek out and slay the worst of the immediate threats, if only to slow the spread.
379 375 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06003_003640_ALPHINAUD Unease, terror, despair... Try as we might to suppress them, these emotions will return to harry us time and time again.
380 376 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06003_003650_ALPHINAUD But when they do, remember this...
381 377 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06003_003660_ALPHINAUD Your friends and loved ones are out there, somewhere, sharing in your struggle. You are not alone.
382 378 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06003_003670_EMETSELCH So ends the brief respite before the next revelation.
383 379 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06003_003680_EMETSELCH Yes, so much left for you to see...
384 380 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06003_003690_EMETSELCH Where beginning ends, and end begins...

7 3 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06004_000040_ELIDIBUS My home... My friends... No more than a dream...
8 4 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06004_000050_ELIDIBUS You... Why have you awakened me?
9 5 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06004_000060_ELIDIBUS I no longer sense those places beyond...or Lord Zodiark. You must explain all.
10 6 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06004_000070_ELIDIBUS So. He is fallen, and my brethren's souls returned to the star...
11 7 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06004_000080_ELIDIBUS The doom we sacrificed so much to prevent is come again. Old burdens, now yours to bear.
12 8 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06004_000090_ELIDIBUS But...if this is Fandaniel's design, then I, as Elidibus, have a duty to fulfill.
13 9 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06004_000100_ELIDIBUS Your unsolicited act has restored to me some few memories of the Convocation.
14 10 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06004_000110_ELIDIBUS Such knowledge as I have, I will share.
15 11 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06004_Q1_000_001_NONE_VOICE What will you say?
16 12 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06004_A1_000_001_NONE_VOICE Thank you.
17 13 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06004_A1_000_002_NONE_VOICE I'm sorry...
18 14 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06004_000120_ELIDIBUS I do this not for you. I merely perform my duty, as I have ever done.
19 15 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06004_000130_ELIDIBUS Why apologize for receiving a favor of the defeated? If it sits ill, consider it payment for freeing Lord Zodiark from servitude.
20 16 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06004_000140_ELIDIBUS Where to begin... Ah. The end. Your understanding of what caused the Final Days is consistent with our own.
21 17 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06004_000150_ELIDIBUS The decay first took root where the currents were weakest. Yes...a conclusion drawn by him. Fandaniel.
22 18 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06004_000160_ELIDIBUS Not the him of here and now, but as I knew him. Long, long ago...
23 19 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06004_000170_ELIDIBUS Having shed light upon the phenomenon, he dedicated himself to devising a countermeasure.
24 20 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06004_000180_ELIDIBUS Were it not for his knowledge of the celestial, we would never have made the connection─and thence forestalled the Final Days.
25 21 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06004_000190_ELIDIBUS And though he inherited that noble soul...how different, this last incarnation. So consumed by self-loathing and hate.
26 22 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06004_000200_ELIDIBUS ...Elpis? Yes...the name is familiar to me.
27 23 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06004_000210_ELIDIBUS Yet I know it not as a flower, but a place.
28 24 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06004_000220_ELIDIBUS A testing facility for determining which of our creations were fit to be released into the world.
29 25 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06004_000230_ELIDIBUS Many worked there. And before joining the Convocation and assuming the title of Fandaniel, he was their chief...
30 26 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06004_000240_ELIDIBUS He...was Hermes...
31 27 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06004_000250_ELIDIBUS That...is all I know.
32 28 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06004_000260_ELIDIBUS The crystals tell little of the lives the Fourteen led prior to their induction.
33 29 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06004_000270_ELIDIBUS Elpis itself would tell even less. Nary a ruin has survived─
34 30 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06004_000280_ELIDIBUS Wait... I saw you there. In Elpis.
35 31 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06004_000290_ELIDIBUS No...I did not...but I did. I did. A lingering trace of impossibility...
36 32 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06004_000300_ELIDIBUS And a truth...that fills my heart...
37 33 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06004_000310_ELIDIBUS My memories remain clouded, I fear. However...they have revealed to me one possible course.
38 34 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06004_000320_ELIDIBUS You must travel to Elpis─to the time when Hermes served as its chief.
39 35 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06004_000330_ELIDIBUS In glimpsing the Exarch's memories, not only did I make his summoning magick mine own─I also mastered the workings of this tower.
40 36 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06004_000340_ELIDIBUS Which, having absorbed my empowered essence, now harbors an abundance of energy.
41 37 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06004_000350_ELIDIBUS As such, I believe I can deliver you unto the past. Unto that place and that precise moment.
42 38 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06004_000360_ELIDIBUS Given the eons that must be traversed, the gateway will not be fully formed.
43 39 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06004_000370_ELIDIBUS Your form will be less tangible still than those Warriors of Light I had summoned.
44 40 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06004_000380_ELIDIBUS In all likelihood, none will be able to see or hear you.
45 41 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06004_000390_ELIDIBUS Yet even should you manage to interact with others, you will be unable to effect meaningful change.
46 42 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06004_000400_ELIDIBUS For the reality you wish to save─the reality to which you must return─exists as a result of the Final Days.
47 43 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06004_000410_ELIDIBUS You cannot reshape the past to undo the tragedies of the present. Cannot unmake the sorrow and suffering fated to come.
48 44 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06004_000420_ELIDIBUS In full knowledge of this, will you still entrust your life to your foe and make the journey?
49 45 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06004_000430_ELIDIBUS Very well. I shall cast you unto the river of time. Let this be my final act.
50 46 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06004_000440_ELIDIBUS You must input the commands. I no longer have the authority.
51 47 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06004_000450_ELIDIBUS First, you must reconfigure the systems, that the tower's aether may be channeled for the magick...
52 48 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06004_000460_ELIDIBUS The preparations are complete. The gateway will soon open. Return at once to the Ocular.
53 49 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06004_000470_ELIDIBUS All appears to be in order. The aether flows unimpeded.
54 50 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06004_000480_ELIDIBUS The magick should consume every last mote of my essence.
55 51 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06004_000490_ELIDIBUS Why are you surprised? Did I not say that this will be my final act?
56 52 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06004_000500_ELIDIBUS Lord Zodiark is no more. There is nothing for me here.
57 53 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06004_000510_ELIDIBUS The ones I love and long to see again are waiting. In that promised land, beyond memory and dream...
58 54 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06004_000520_ELIDIBUS Now go, Warrior of Light. Go...and do not look back.
59 55 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06004_000530_ELIDIBUS Well, Hydaelyn. I take my leave of You. Yours is the mantle of the last of us.
60 56 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06004_000540_ELIDIBUS May You have...the joy of it. The burden...and the solitude.
61 57 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06004_000550_ELIDIBUS It falls to You now─You and Your champion─to save our star.
62 58 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06004_000560_HYTHLODAEUS (-???-)And here we are. Elpis.
63 59 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06004_000570_PROPYLAIONSTAFF Well, well, how rare to receive you in person. To what do we owe the honor?
64 60 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06004_000580_HYTHLODAEUS (-Familiar Stranger-)Oh, just a few odd tasks. We'll be here a while.
65 61 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06004_000590_PROPYLAIONSTAFF You're welcome to stay as long as you see fit, of course. As a matter of procedure, however, I must ask that you kindly remove your masks.
66 62 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06004_000600_EMETSELCH (-Familiar Voice-)Come now, is this truly necessary? Surely you can tell who we are...
67 63 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06004_000610_HYTHLODAEUS (-Familiar Stranger-)Who you are, perhaps, but I am far less infamous. Regardless, if we do not follow protocol, 'tis our hosts who would be held accountable. So please, do favor us with your handsome face.
68 64 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06004_000620_EMETSELCH No subtitles, report if displayed.
69 65 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06004_000630_EMETSELCH (-Man with a Familiar Voice-)...Satisfied?
70 66 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06004_000640_PROPYLAIONSTAFF I thank you for your cooperation. You are free to go about your business.
71 67 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06004_000650_HYTHLODAEUS (-Familiar Stranger-)By the by...you see it too, yes?
72 68 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06004_000660_EMETSELCH (-Man with a Familiar Voice-)I haven't the foggiest what you're talking about.
73 69 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06004_000670_HYTHLODAEUS (-Familiar Stranger-)Hmm? That's odd.
74 70 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06004_000680_HYTHLODAEUS (-Familiar Stranger-)It's right here. A bit thin in the aether, but there's no mistaking it─the color of its soul is almost identical to Azem's.
75 71 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06004_000690_HYTHLODAEUS (-Familiar Stranger-)Do you suppose he created it? Rather unusual for a familiar to have a soul, though...
76 72 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06004_000700_HYTHLODAEUS (-Familiar Stranger-)Do you suppose she created it? Rather unusual for a familiar to have a soul, though...
77 73 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06004_000710_EMETSELCH (-Man with a Familiar Voice-)Don't ask me. All I know is that it's trouble─doubly so if it's <If(PlayerParameter(4))>her<Else/>his</If> spitting image.
78 74 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06004_000720_EMETSELCH (-Man with a Familiar Voice-)So let's leave it be. Come, now.
79 75 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06004_000730_HYTHLODAEUS (-Familiar Stranger-)It's trying to say something...but it's literally too intangible to form words.
80 76 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06004_000740_HYTHLODAEUS (-Familiar Stranger-)Why don't you give it some aether? Spare a snifter of your bounteous reserves.
81 77 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06004_000750_EMETSELCH (-Man with a Familiar Voice-)Who do you take me for?
82 78 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06004_000760_HYTHLODAEUS (-Familiar Stranger-)Why, a dear friend, of course! One who wouldn't let acts of kindness─such as my accompanying him on errands to far-flung outposts─go unrewarded.
83 79 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06004_000770_EMETSELCH No subtitles, report if displayed.
84 80 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06004_000780_EMETSELCH (-Man with a Familiar Voice-)I suggest you close your eyes, or this may be...unpleasant.
85 81 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06004_000790_EMETSELCH (-Man with a Familiar Voice-)You may open your eyes.
86 82 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06004_000800_HYTHLODAEUS (-Familiar Stranger-)Still a touch small, don't you think?
87 83 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06004_000810_EMETSELCH (-Man with a Familiar Voice-)The size befits its proportions. Besides, bigger is not necessarily better.
88 84 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06004_000820_HYTHLODAEUS (-Familiar Stranger-)I will defer to your experience.
89 85 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06004_000830_HYTHLODAEUS (-Familiar Stranger-)Quite large, don't you think?
90 86 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06004_000840_EMETSELCH (-Man with a Familiar Voice-)The size befits its proportions. Though I personally wouldn't be averse to smaller.
91 87 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06004_000850_HYTHLODAEUS (-Familiar Stranger-)No, no, this will suffice, I'm sure.
92 88 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06004_000860_HYTHLODAEUS (-Familiar Stranger-)Oh, you even adjusted its size.
93 89 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06004_000870_EMETSELCH (-Man with a Familiar Voice-)The better to indulge your whim. This way it will be easier to communicate.
94 90 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06004_000880_HYTHLODAEUS (-Familiar Stranger-)How very thoughtful of you. And may I applaud your artful reinforcement.
95 91 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06004_000890_HYTHLODAEUS Without further ado, then... Greetings! I am Hythlodaeus, chief of the Bureau of the Architect.
96 92 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06004_000900_HYTHLODAEUS Sulking beside me is the most honorable Emet-Selch of the Convocation of Fourteen.
97 93 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06004_000910_HYTHLODAEUS And how might we address you, my new friend?
98 94 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06004_000920_HYTHLODAEUS A fine name. And I'm pleased to see you understand our words.
99 95 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06004_000930_HYTHLODAEUS So tell us, whence have you come? The thinness of your essence suggests you weren't created here...
100 96 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06004_000940_HYTHLODAEUS You do not know...or cannot say? Hmm. Allow me to ask a different question, then.
101 97 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06004_000950_HYTHLODAEUS What brings you here?
102 98 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06004_Q2_000_001_NONE_VOICE What will you say?
103 99 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06004_A2_000_001_NONE_VOICE I seek a man named Hermes.
104 100 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06004_A2_000_002_NONE_VOICE I want to learn about Elpis.
105 101 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06004_000960_HYTHLODAEUS Well now, the same as us...
106 102 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06004_000970_HYTHLODAEUS Perhaps Azem wished to come too, but had to settle for a familiar.
107 103 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06004_000980_EMETSELCH If <If(PlayerParameter(4))>she<Else/>he</If> truly wished to be here, then <If(PlayerParameter(4))>she<Else/>he</If> would be.
108 104 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06004_000990_HYTHLODAEUS Right you are...
109 105 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06004_001000_HYTHLODAEUS My apologies if we've given offense. The two of us can discern the color of souls, you see, and yours happens to resemble that of a friend.
110 106 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06004_001010_HYTHLODAEUS And with your purpose matching our own besides, we jumped to a hasty conclusion.
111 107 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06004_001020_HYTHLODAEUS We are here to speak with Hermes, the chief overseer of this facility, which we also intend to tour in order to gain greater insight into the man's work.
112 108 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06004_001030_HYTHLODAEUS “We,” I say, though this is Emet-Selch's charge. I am here only to serve as his guide.
113 109 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06004_001040_HYTHLODAEUS And I should be happy to serve as yours as well─by way of an apology for the misunderstanding.
114 110 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06004_001050_EMETSELCH Wait, are you suggesting that we bring it along on official business? This thing we know next to nothing about?
115 111 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06004_001060_HYTHLODAEUS If you harbor suspicions, better to keep it close than leave it to its own devices, wouldn't you agree?
116 112 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06004_001070_HYTHLODAEUS Besides, having a mysterious life-form in tow is the norm rather than the exception here.
117 113 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06004_001080_HYTHLODAEUS Welcome, my friends, to the testing ground of creation at heavens' edge: Elpis!
118 114 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06004_001090_VENAS (-???-)This presence...
119 115 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06004_001100_METEION (-???-)Hermes! Visitors─we have visitors!
120 116 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06004_001110_EMETSELCH What secrets are you hiding, I wonder...
121 117 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06004_001120_HERMES You are...?
122 118 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06004_001130_METEION No subtitles, report if displayed.
123 119 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06004_001135_METEION No subtitles, report if displayed.
124 120 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06004_001140_METEION (-Bewinged Girl-)Different! You're different too!
125 121 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06004_001150_METEION (-Bewinged Girl-)You and me. We're alike. Friends. I want to be─
126 122 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06004_001160_METEION (-Bewinged Girl-)Wait... Please...wait...
127 123 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06004_001170_METEION (-Bewinged Girl-)Greetings and salutations! Can you hear me?
128 124 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06004_001180_METEION (-Bewinged Girl-)Do not be alarmed─I mean you no harm. I wish only to hear your words, share your feelings, and know your thoughts.
129 125 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06004_001190_METEION (-Bewinged Girl-)May we please be friends?
130 126 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06004_001200_METEION (-Bewinged Girl-)May we please...be friends!
131 127 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06004_001210_HYTHLODAEUS Ah, I see you found him.
132 128 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06004_001220_HERMES Hythlodaeus... It's been a while. Too long, I think.
133 129 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06004_001230_HYTHLODAEUS Too long indeed for close collaborators. On this blessed occasion, I bring not only myself, but others who long to speak with you.
134 130 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06004_001240_HERMES You are of the Convocation.
135 131 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06004_001250_EMETSELCH Emet-Selch, at your service. Do I have the honor of addressing Hermes, chief overseer of Elpis?
136 132 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06004_001260_HERMES You do. You have traveled far for it.
137 133 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06004_001270_EMETSELCH Given your facility's purpose, its remote location is something of a necessity. Would that I didn't have to rely upon a guide...
138 134 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06004_001280_HYTHLODAEUS You wound me. Have I not ever been an attentive and helpful friend?
139 135 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06004_001290_HYTHLODAEUS But moving along to more agreeable company, this one we chanced to...
140 136 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06004_001300_HYTHLODAEUS ...Well, you certainly have her attention. Is she one of yours, Hermes?
141 137 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06004_001310_HERMES Her name is Meteion. It means shooting star.
142 138 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06004_001320_HYTHLODAEUS If I may make an observation, her aether is terribly thin. I fear she might dissipate at any moment.
143 139 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06004_001330_HYTHLODAEUS Nor do I believe you've made a submission to the bureau. I would remember such a concept if you had.
144 140 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06004_001340_HERMES I haven't, as you say. I judged it too early. She's a pet project of mine─still undergoing preliminary testing.
145 141 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06004_001350_HERMES But rest assured that I will attend in person ere long.
146 142 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06004_001360_HYTHLODAEUS Very well. Being an authority on flying life-forms, I appreciate that you are exacting in your work.
147 143 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06004_001370_HYTHLODAEUS I shall look forward to your submission.
148 144 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06004_001380_EMETSELCH If we have finished with the perfunctory chitchat, I would discuss official matters.
149 145 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06004_001390_EMETSELCH By my coming, I trust you already anticipate the subject.
150 146 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06004_001400_HERMES I have an inkling, yes. Please wait at the main building yonder.
151 147 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06004_001410_HERMES I shall join you as soon as I've returned these creatures to their homes.
152 148 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06004_001415_HERMES No subtitles, report if displayed.
153 149 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06004_001420_METEION What's wrong, Hermes?
154 150 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06004_001430_HERMES An ambystoma is missing...
155 151 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06004_001440_HYTHLODAEUS Hm, I may have found it. A creature with the selfsame aether as those there, nestled in the boughs of a tree outside the grounds.
156 152 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06004_001450_EMETSELCH You're saying they can climb? With their sorry excuses for limbs?
157 153 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06004_001460_HERMES The “fashion” has been to imbue aquatic creatures with the power of flight, ever since the Words of Mitron created a sky-swimming fish...
158 154 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06004_001470_HERMES The ambystomas too can fly, if only slightly, and they could conceivably climb a tree. Whether they can come down safely, however... Excuse me.
159 155 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06004_001480_METEION I'll help too!
160 156 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06004_001490_EMETSELCH And what are we supposed to do with this lot?
161 157 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06004_001500_HYTHLODAEUS May I suggest we split up?
162 158 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06004_001510_HYTHLODAEUS If you would be so good as to assist Hermes, Emet-Selch and I shall keep an eye on these adorable creations in the meantime.
163 159 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06004_001520_EMETSELCH This appears to be the place.
164 160 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06004_001530_EMETSELCH And here is where we part ways.
165 161 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06004_001540_EMETSELCH We will be discussing highly sensitive affairs. Only a select few may be privy to such knowledge, and that does not include someone who cannot or will not divulge their origins.
166 162 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06004_001550_EMETSELCH What? Will I have to remove you by force?
167 163 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06004_Q3_000_001_NONE_VOICE What will you say?
168 164 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06004_A3_000_001_NONE_VOICE I have important things to say to him as well.
169 165 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06004_A3_000_002_NONE_VOICE There are reasons I cannot speak freely.
170 166 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06004_001560_EMETSELCH Yes, I'm sure your business with Hermes is quite pressing. You may speak with him to your heart's content─after ours is concluded.
171 167 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06004_001570_EMETSELCH Let's hear them, then. These reasons of yours. Who knows─if I deem your mysterious cause worthy, I may even be inclined to offer my assistance.
172 168 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06004_001580_HERMES I do not object to his attendance.
173 169 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06004_001590_HERMES I do not object to her attendance.
174 170 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06004_001600_EMETSELCH Hermes... This is highly irregular.
175 171 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06004_001610_HERMES Perhaps, but I believe <If(PlayerParameter(4))>she<Else/>he</If> can be trusted. Meteion would not have taken to <If(PlayerParameter(4))>her<Else/>him</If> so quickly otherwise.
176 172 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06004_001620_HERMES Moreover...the presence of a third party may help me to maintain composure.
177 173 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06004_001630_EMETSELCH No subtitles, report if displayed.
178 174 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06004_001640_EMETSELCH As you wish, then.
179 175 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06004_001650_EMETSELCH Behave yourself, do you hear?
180 176 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06004_001660_HERMES So, it's finally happened, then.
181 177 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06004_001670_EMETSELCH Aye. Fandaniel has declared his intention to step down, and named you as his preferred successor.
182 178 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06004_001680_EMETSELCH In recognition of your knowledge and your works, the Convocation is giving the recommendation due consideration.
183 179 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06004_001690_EMETSELCH As one who does not know you personally, I am to use my impartial eye to take your measure.
184 180 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06004_001700_EMETSELCH And above all else, to ascertain your disposition towards the invitation.
185 181 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06004_001710_EMETSELCH I understand that you and Fandaniel are close. He himself was once chief overseer of Elpis, after all.
186 182 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06004_001720_EMETSELCH I should not be surprised if you knew before anyone else that he wished to relinquish his office.
187 183 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06004_001730_HERMES I did... He told me that, when he fulfilled his purpose, he wished to pass the torch to me.
188 184 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06004_001740_EMETSELCH A torch you seem none too pleased to accept. Are you so averse to serving on the Convocation?
189 185 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06004_001750_HERMES No, it's not that...
190 186 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06004_001760_HERMES For a humble researcher like myself to even be considered...is an honor beyond words.
191 187 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06004_001770_HERMES No, what troubles me─what I struggle to come to terms with─is the very fact that Fandaniel is stepping down.
192 188 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06004_001780_HERMES Does this not mean that he will return to the star?
193 189 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06004_001790_EMETSELCH Of his own volition, yes. Like so many others have before him.
194 190 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06004_001800_METEION Return to the star? Does that mean...die?
195 191 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06004_001810_HYTHLODAEUS Well now, that's not a word I hear often... Is that what you say here in Elpis?
196 192 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06004_001820_HYTHLODAEUS Mankind is the life of Etheirys. Each of us a drop of blood flowing through its veins, bearing sustenance.
197 193 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06004_001830_HYTHLODAEUS In our finite time upon it, 'tis our duty to make it a better place, that all who call it home now and in future may abide in happiness.
198 194 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06004_001840_HYTHLODAEUS To that end, we have dedicated ourselves to the pursuit of enlightened creation. And by our efforts did we transform this once-untamed wilderness into the peaceful paradise you enjoy today.
199 195 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06004_001850_HYTHLODAEUS To return to the star whence we came is a privilege afforded to we who have so loved and nurtured it.
200 196 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06004_001860_HYTHLODAEUS A choice embraced by those who have lived their lives to the fullest, in service to our world.
201 197 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06004_001870_HYTHLODAEUS And when they depart upon this journey, it is beautiful. Always.
202 198 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06004_001880_EMETSELCH The Fourteen are no exception. 'Tis believed no occasion is more felicitous than the fulfillment of one's duty.
203 199 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06004_001890_EMETSELCH Our office becomes our lives, and to retire is to return. Or so the majority of us hold. Some few have elected to eschew custom.
204 200 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06004_001900_EMETSELCH Mayhap you feel Fandaniel's deeds do not warrant his return.
205 201 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06004_001910_EMETSELCH Yet you should know his accomplishments as well as any. During his time, he conceived of countless outstanding concepts.
206 202 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06004_001920_EMETSELCH And channeling the wealth of experience he attained here in Elpis, he brought forth many new specimens.
207 203 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06004_001930_HERMES I know of all this, I do...
208 204 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06004_001940_HERMES It's just...I cannot fathom why someone so great and wise, who could still do so much good, would want to end it all...
209 205 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06004_001950_HERMES Oh no, I've made her upset...
210 206 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06004_001960_HERMES Forgive me─I know I requested your presence. Might I trouble you to take Meteion outside? A change of scenery would do her good.
211 207 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06004_001970_HERMES Amazing, is it not? The ampelos─one of our newest subjects.
212 208 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06004_001980_HERMES So, how are we coming along?
213 209 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06004_001990_METEION This place is Elpis! Those flowers, Elpis!
214 210 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06004_002000_METEION Entelechies! Like me!
215 211 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06004_002010_HERMES They are a product of Elpis and so named for their birthplace.
216 212 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06004_002020_HERMES A happy accident born of the hands of a former researcher who loved beautiful blossoms.
217 213 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06004_002030_HERMES Unique for how they change color to reflect the emotional state of those nearby.
218 214 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06004_002040_HERMES Though be it here or elsewhere, they are seldom seen in any hue save purest white...
219 215 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06004_002050_HYTHLODAEUS Reflect the emotional state, you say? By what means do they achieve this?
220 216 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06004_002060_HERMES In creation, there exists an energy wholly apart from aether. One driven by emotions.
221 217 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06004_002070_HERMES In like manner to how we manipulate aether, this flower is subject to the influence of said energy.
222 218 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06004_002080_HERMES While it has no will of its own, it is sensitive to the prevailing emotion in the vicinity, and reacts by altering its color and vibrancy.
223 219 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06004_002090_NIDHANA (-Nidhana-)Akasa? It is one of the unseen energies defined by Hannish alchemical theory. Though a gross oversimplification, some describe it as an essence influenced by feelings.
224 220 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06004_002100_HERMES Akasa... Though I'm not familiar with the term, your description suggests it is the selfsame energy.
225 221 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06004_002110_HERMES Dynamis, we call it.
226 222 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06004_002120_HERMES And those entities like the Elpis flower, that have the ability to interact with this energy, converting emotions into tangible phenomena...
227 223 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06004_002130_HERMES ...Are entelechies.
228 224 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06004_002140_METEION That's me, that's me! An entelechy!
229 225 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06004_002150_HERMES That you are, my dear. And no ordinary one at that, but the first possessed of free will.
230 226 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06004_002160_EMETSELCH Wait. A form of energy other than aether? Dynamis?
231 227 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06004_002170_EMETSELCH I've never heard of such a thing.
232 228 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06004_002180_HERMES Hardly surprising. Dynamis cannot be seen, much less felt.
233 229 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06004_002190_HERMES And though its existence has long been theorized, we had no proof until the flower's serendipitous creation.
234 230 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06004_002200_HERMES What's more, dynamis is far weaker than aether. Under normal circumstances, its effects are drowned out by the latter.
235 231 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06004_002210_HERMES On account of which, beings comprised of and reliant upon aether, like you and I, are unable to make practical use of dynamis.
236 232 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06004_002220_HERMES 'Tis a truly esoteric thing, known to but a select few scholars.
237 233 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06004_002230_EMETSELCH Intriguing... Then given the limitations you described, why create Meteion?
238 234 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06004_002240_HERMES Our star, Etheirys, is especially rich in aether. So much so that its name is derived from it.
239 235 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06004_002250_HERMES However, when we consider all energy in existence, here and in the vast space beyond, dynamis may account for as much as sixty-eight point three percent.
240 236 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06004_002260_HERMES The more abundant form by far. Were we able to control it, we could open the door to limitless possibilities.
241 237 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06004_002270_HERMES 'Tis not unlike a gently flowing stream, unable to break through the dam of aether barring its path. But if we could imbue this stream with the vigor of a raging river...
242 238 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06004_002280_HERMES ...Not that I have such grand ambitions.
243 239 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06004_002290_HERMES Nay, I merely wished to create a being that could traverse the great expanse.
244 240 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06004_002300_HERMES The relative scarcity of aether beyond the bounds of this star was a concern, and so I looked to another source of energy by necessity.
245 241 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06004_002310_HYTHLODAEUS That being dynamis. No wonder her aether is so thin.
246 242 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06004_002320_HERMES Precisely.
247 243 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06004_002330_METEION Yours is thin too. Like an entelechy. Like me.
248 244 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06004_002340_METEION So...are we the same? Entelechies?
249 245 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06004_Q4_000_001_NONE_VOICE What will you say?
250 246 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06004_A4_000_001_NONE_VOICE Sure, I don't see why I couldn't be one.
251 247 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06004_A4_000_002_NONE_VOICE Well, I <Emphasis>have</Emphasis> been known to transcend my limits with nothing but determination.
252 248 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06004_A4_000_003_NONE_VOICE If I'm thin, it's because Emet-Selch didn't do a proper job.
253 249 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06004_002350_EMETSELCH I think not. Your nature remains a mystery, but ere I reinforced you, you appeared to be little more than a common familiar─and a faded one at that.
254 250 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06004_002360_EMETSELCH That sounds more akin to the desperate flailings of a wild beast when facing imminent death.
255 251 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06004_002370_EMETSELCH Well, aren't we ungrateful? Mayhap I should revert you to the pathetic, faded thing you were.
256 252 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06004_002380_HERMES A deficit of aether alone does not an entelechy make. It would, however, make it easier for you to interact with dynamis.
257 253 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06004_002390_HERMES And limited though its influence may be, this quality could prove the difference between victory and defeat. You'd do well not to underestimate it.
258 254 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06004_002400_HERMES Oh dear, I'd forgotten about the poor fellow. You must excuse me a moment while I go and verify a few more things.
259 255 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06004_002410_EMETSELCH No, no, no, you are not foisting this nonsense on me!
260 256 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06004_002420_HERMES I'm given to understand you have the power to help the charybdis─and should be quite willing to do so.
261 257 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06004_002430_HERMES And so I appeal to your better nature, most benevolent Emet-Selch. Please teach it to fly!
262 258 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06004_002440_METEION Or else Hermes will transform! Right now!
263 259 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06004_002450_HYTHLODAEUS Now, now, there's no need to go quite that far. Altruism is its own reward, as I'm sure he would agree.
264 260 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06004_002460_EMETSELCH Oh would he now? And who contrived to put me in this position, pray tell?
265 261 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06004_002470_HYTHLODAEUS Nothing so devious. I merely suggested a possible course of action.
266 262 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06004_002480_METEION Please, Emet-Selch! Please!
267 263 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06004_002490_EMETSELCH No subtitles, report if displayed.
268 264 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06004_002500_EMETSELCH I did not come all this way to play nursemaid to your creations. I'd thank you to remember this favor...and let it be the last.
269 265 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06004_002510_EMETSELCH I will aid it once it has taken to the air. It falls to you to shepherd it skyward.
270 266 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06004_002520_HYTHLODAEUS Well, let's relax and enjoy the spectacle, shall we?
271 267 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06004_002530_HYTHLODAEUS You were wondering why Emet-Selch joined the Convocation.
272 268 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06004_002540_HYTHLODAEUS Truth be told, he wasn't the first choice for the office. I was─on the strength of my ability to see aether.
273 269 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06004_002550_HYTHLODAEUS But I declined the offer. For though my vision is exceptional, I am pedestrian in all other aspects. Worse, even.
274 270 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06004_002560_HYTHLODAEUS Quite abysmal when it comes to manipulating aether, for example. Couldn't transform even if I had a mind to do so.
275 271 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06004_002570_HYTHLODAEUS What good is the ability to perceive a problem if one cannot act to address it?
276 272 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06004_002580_HYTHLODAEUS Emet-Selch has no such shortcomings. He excels in vision and manipulation both─the latter to an extraordinary degree.
277 273 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06004_002590_HYTHLODAEUS If there is a mage more powerful, I do not know of them.
278 274 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06004_002600_HYTHLODAEUS Thus did I recommend him for the office in my stead. And I wasn't the only one. Far from it.
279 275 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06004_002610_HYTHLODAEUS Countless others vouched for his skill and character. People the world over, to whom he had previously lent a helping hand.
280 276 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06004_002620_HYTHLODAEUS Oh, how surprised he was. Claimed he hadn't done anything remarkable for anyone. Modest to a fault.
281 277 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06004_002630_HYTHLODAEUS He deserved every bit of acclaim he received. Yet he may well have gone unappreciated were it not for a mutual friend.
282 278 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06004_002640_HYTHLODAEUS A singular soul who can't help but involve <If(PlayerParameter(4))>herself<Else/>himself</If> in the business of others. Where <If(PlayerParameter(4))>she<Else/>he</If> walks, excitement is certain to follow.
283 279 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06004_002650_HYTHLODAEUS <If(PlayerParameter(4))>Her<Else/>His</If> antics irritate Emet-Selch to no end, but much of his grumbling stems from genuine concern.
284 280 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06004_002660_HYTHLODAEUS When our friend calls, he never fails to answer and lend his talents.
285 281 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06004_002670_HYTHLODAEUS And in the course of doing so, he himself came to be recognized and respected by those around him.
286 282 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06004_002680_HYTHLODAEUS They are truly remarkable individuals, and I'm proud to call them friends.
287 283 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06004_002690_HYTHLODAEUS To help them realize their dreams─this will be my greatest contribution to our world.
288 284 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06004_002700_HYTHLODAEUS And when they have fulfilled their respective purposes...
289 285 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06004_002710_HYTHLODAEUS So too shall I have fulfilled mine, and together we may return to the star.
290 286 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06004_002720_HYTHLODAEUS Look at me, spilling my innermost secrets. I can't seem to help it with you.
291 287 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06004_002730_HYTHLODAEUS I can only assume it is due to the color of your soul. I just don't understand how you can be so alike and yet so different.
292 288 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06004_002740_METEION Well done, my pet! Well done!
293 289 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06004_002750_HYTHLODAEUS Ah yes, I daresay the charybdis will be fine hereon.
294 290 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06004_002760_HYTHLODAEUS Why don't you go and signal to Emet-Selch. Let him know his arduous task is at an end.
295 291 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06004_002770_METEION Hermes!
296 292 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06004_002780_HERMES Oh... You were waiting for me.
297 293 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06004_002790_METEION You've finished talking?
298 294 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06004_002800_HERMES Yes. We've come to a decision.
299 295 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06004_002810_HERMES My thanks for keeping Meteion company.
300 296 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06004_002820_HERMES Emet-Selch and Hythlodaeus have already retired to their rooms.
301 297 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06004_002830_HERMES There is a room for you too, if you would follow me.
302 298 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06004_002840_METEION Wait! I want to show you something first.
303 299 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06004_002850_HERMES Elpis flowers...?
304 300 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06004_002860_METEION Go on!
305 301 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06004_002870_HERMES No subtitles, report if displayed.
306 302 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06004_002880_METEION You're not the only one, Hermes. Others feel sad too. You're not alone.
307 303 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06004_002890_HERMES I see Meteion has shared much with you.
308 304 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06004_002900_HERMES May we talk a moment?
309 305 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06004_002910_HERMES I do not think it wrong that we live for the star. That we strive to make it a better place.
310 306 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06004_002920_HERMES And yet, in carrying out my duties here, there are times when I am plagued by doubt.
311 307 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06004_002930_HERMES Do you recall what Hythlodaeus said, when we first spoke of my nomination?
312 308 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06004_002940_HERMES Death is the privilege of those who have fulfilled their purpose. A choice they embrace of their own free will. And when they depart, it is always beautiful.
313 309 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06004_002950_HERMES Perhaps it is...but only for man.
314 310 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06004_002960_HERMES Creations that he deems useless are discarded with nary a second thought.
315 311 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06004_002970_HERMES Some scarcely born into the world. Afforded a handful of breaths before life and potential are abruptly extinguished.
316 312 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06004_002980_HERMES We make an effort to spare them the pain. But they sense what awaits. Rage in anguish and cower in fear...and it is <Emphasis>not</Emphasis> beautiful.
317 313 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06004_002990_HERMES Yet no one cares. No one.
318 314 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06004_003000_HERMES So fixated are we upon the duty that we do not pause to question the method.
319 315 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06004_003010_HERMES Pain and suffering... Confusion and despair... Writ plain in the eyes of those poor creatures.
320 316 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06004_003020_HERMES Yet no one sees. We turn a blind eye and carry on in blissful ignorance. Naught amiss, and always─always the blossoms shine pure and white.
321 317 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06004_003030_HERMES A contradiction so blatant I could scream. Want to scream. How can you all accept this...aberration!?
322 318 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06004_003040_HERMES Then I wonder...am <Emphasis>I</Emphasis> the aberration for thinking thus? And I am filled with dread...
323 319 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06004_003050_HERMES But now I know I'm not alone. Not the only one for whom the flowers weep.
324 320 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06004_003060_HERMES I won't ask what you thought as you kneeled beside the Elpis. Or if you only did it at Meteion's insistence.
325 321 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06004_003070_HERMES Nevertheless...I thank you.
326 322 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06004_003080_HERMES To know that you too have experienced suffering...is a comfort.
327 323 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06004_Q5_000_001_NONE_VOICE What will you say?
328 324 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06004_A5_000_001_NONE_VOICE Glad I could be of service.
329 325 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06004_A5_000_002_NONE_VOICE Let's have no more brooding, eh?
330 326 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06004_A5_000_003_NONE_VOICE Oh, I could tell you <Emphasis>all</Emphasis> about suffering.
331 327 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06004_003090_HERMES To so willingly lend an ear to ease my burden... You are a strange one.
332 328 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06004_003100_HERMES ...Indeed. Difficult though it may be, I must endeavor to be strong like you.
333 329 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06004_003110_HERMES Lest you misunderstand, I derive no pleasure from your pain.
334 330 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06004_003120_HERMES It's just...the fact that you are still here, in spite of your suffering, gives me heart.
335 331 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06004_003130_HERMES The stars in the heavens... Know you what they are?
336 332 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06004_003140_HERMES Though it is too far to tell, each glittering light could be a world not unlike Etheirys. A world filled with life.
337 333 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06004_003150_HERMES So many stars, so many lives... For us, there may be no higher purpose than to live for our world, but what of the other living beings out there?
338 334 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06004_003160_HERMES What is it that gives <Emphasis>their</Emphasis> lives meaning? That drives them day after day after day?
339 335 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06004_003170_HERMES To pose that question to our undiscovered cousins, I created beings of dynamis, who can traverse the vast emptiness between the stars. Meteion and her sisters.
340 336 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06004_003180_HERMES Aye, sisters.
341 337 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06004_003190_HERMES She has a great many of them, and they have already departed on their journey. Traveling to one star, and then the next, in search of life.
342 338 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06004_003200_HERMES As one might expect, exploration on such a grand scale is rife with difficulties, and thus far I've naught to show for it.
343 339 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06004_003210_HERMES But I have faith that we will make some manner of discovery ere long.
344 340 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06004_003220_HERMES And when we do, I should be glad to share our findings with you, in gratitude for your kindness.
345 341 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06004_003230_HERMES ...It's getting rather late. We had best find our beds. 'Twould not do for both of us to be sleep-deprived on the morrow.
346 342 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06004_003240_HERMES Come, Meteion! Let us head back.
347 343 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06004_003250_METEION All right!
348 344 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06004_003260_HERMES Now!
349 345 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06004_003270_HERMES Oh...
350 346 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06004_003280_HERMES Forgive me... Please forgive me...
351 347 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06004_003290_HERMES May you and your kin find peace...
352 348 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06004_003300_HERMES Wherever your souls may drift in the Underworld, may you find tranquil seas.
353 349 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06004_003310_HERMES Be not forgotten. In concept endure to reclaim form and one day live again.
354 350 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06004_003320_HERMES Serve not the star or any purpose save your own. Live again, if that be your desire.
355 351 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06004_003330_HERMES Hate, if that be your wont. We are worthy. But leave your suffering behind.
356 352 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06004_003340_HERMES Lay down your burdens. Be born anew. Fly high. Fly free.
357 353 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06004_003350_EMETSELCH Join the Convocation, Hermes.
358 354 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06004_003360_EMETSELCH You do not belong here.
359 355 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06004_003370_HERMES Leave to replace another─to be replaced? It changes nothing!
360 356 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06004_003380_HERMES Tell me! Do you think it right that we sacrifice all these lives for the sake of the star?
361 357 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06004_003390_HERMES And when the star has reached perfection─what then? If all who are satisfied choose to die, shall we all die in satisfaction!?
362 358 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06004_003400_HERMES ...I do not know.
363 359 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06004_003410_HERMES Were I to take up the seat of Fandaniel, it would be tantamount to approving my predecessor's death.
364 360 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06004_003420_HERMES I do not know if it is right.
365 361 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06004_003430_HERMES And to be torn by such thoughts...I do not know if I am fit to represent mankind.
366 362 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06004_003440_METEION Hermes!
367 363 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06004_003450_METEION Please don't be angry... It hurts so...
368 364 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06004_003460_HERMES Forgive me.
369 365 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06004_003470_HERMES If you would still consider me in spite of everything, I beg some time to gather my thoughts.
370 366 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06004_003480_HERMES Meanwhile, Hythlodaeus, I fear I must trouble you to attend to the others.
371 367 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06004_003490_HYTHLODAEUS 'Tis no trouble at all. Take as long as you require.
372 368 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06004_003500_HERMES And you, my friend. I pray you find that which you seek.
373 369 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06004_003510_HYTHLODAEUS I expect we have some few matters to discuss. Shall we return to the Twelve Wonders for a time?
374 370 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06004_003520_EMETSELCH Aye...
375 371 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06004_003530_HYTHLODAEUS I present to you Kallimelios Zephyros.
376 372 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06004_003540_HYTHLODAEUS Here you will find a number of testing facilities as well as the observation hub of Poieten Oikos.
377 373 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06004_003550_HYTHLODAEUS Right, then. Let's begin by─ ...Hm?
378 374 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06004_003560_HYTHLODAEUS Well, well, an oreias. How delightful.
379 375 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06004_003570_EMETSELCH And what, pray tell, is that...?
380 376 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06004_003580_HYTHLODAEUS Ah, that's a new species of shark. We approved the concept but a few days ago.
381 377 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06004_003590_HYTHLODAEUS Sharks are among the most popular sea creatures. Rare is the day when someone does not submit a new concept.
382 378 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06004_003600_HYTHLODAEUS At first, they were largely orthodox. Consideration given to such things as size and environmental impact. And then a whimsical someone thought to bestow it with flight. Another, superior intelligence. And then the floodgates burst. Concepts with multiple heads, or arms, or legs, or arms <Emphasis>and</Emphasis> legs...and so on and so forth. It was getting absurd. A part of me wanted to tell them to go away and find something else to create, but in the end, I couldn't deny their passion...and here we are.
383 379 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06004_003610_EMETSELCH No subtitles, report if displayed.
384 380 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06004_003620_VENAS No subtitles, report if displayed.
385 381 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06004_003630_VENAS (-Familiar Woman-)That was too close... Are you unharmed?
386 382 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06004_003640_VENAS (-Familiar Woman-)Well now, if it isn't a pair of familiar faces...
387 383 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06004_003650_HYTHLODAEUS Venat! That we should meet you here!
388 384 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06004_003660_EMETSELCH As I mentioned earlier, the better part of the Convocation holds that when we retire is when we return to the star.
389 385 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06004_003670_EMETSELCH Well, she is not among said majority. Even after stepping down, she carries on with her work.
390 386 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06004_003680_EMETSELCH Venat is her name, and she is the previous Azem.
391 387 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06004_003690_VENAS It has been a while, Hythlodaeus. You look well.
392 388 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06004_003700_VENAS Less so, Emet-Selch. I daresay the lines upon your brow have both deepened and doubled in number.
393 389 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06004_003710_VENAS A shame for one so young. You must make an effort to frown less often.
394 390 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06004_003720_EMETSELCH Easier said than done thanks to your unruly successor.
395 391 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06004_003730_VENAS How is <If(PlayerParameter(4))>she<Else/>he</If>, if I may ask?
396 392 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06004_003740_HYTHLODAEUS Incorrigible as ever. Rushed headlong into a volcano on the brink of eruption just the other day. I should be glad to share the tale in its entirety later, if you are so inclined.
397 393 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06004_003750_VENAS You know I am!
398 394 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06004_003760_VENAS Now then, you are...?
399 395 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06004_003770_VENAS I say...have you perchance come from the future?
400 396 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06004_003775_VENAS I do not believe we have ever met, yet I sense my magick upon you.
401 397 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06004_003776_VENAS Therefore if I wove the enchantment, I could only have done so at a later point in time.
402 398 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06004_003780_HYTHLODAEUS What manner of magick is this, if I may ask?
403 399 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06004_003790_VENAS A traveler's ward, of course. It prevents the corruption of one's aether.
404 400 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06004_Q5_000_002_NONE_VOICE What will you say?
405 401 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06004_A5_000_004_NONE_VOICE That sounds rather like the blessing of Light...
406 402 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06004_A5_000_005_NONE_VOICE Does it protect you from enthrallment by primals, by any chance?
407 403 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06004_003800_VENAS I see you are not ignorant to its presence. And while there are many protective spells, the one you bear is unmistakably mine.
408 404 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06004_003805_VENAS ...Primals, you say? I'm not familiar with such beings, but if they “enthrall” by warping the balance of aether, then yes─the magick would afford you a measure of protection.
409 405 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06004_003806_VENAS I gather from your question that you are not ignorant to its presence.
410 406 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06004_003810_EMETSELCH Hold on─from the future? That's absurd.
411 407 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06004_003820_VENAS What is it? Are you unable to speak of the matter?
412 408 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06004_003830_ELIDIBUS The reality to which you must return exists as a result of the Final Days.
413 409 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06004_003840_ELIDIBUS You cannot reshape the past to undo the tragedies of the present.
414 410 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06004_003850_VENAS So, your actions here will not change your history...but they may yet affect the course of ours...
415 411 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06004_003860_VENAS How very exciting. I'm quite fond of delving into the unknown─and there's naught more unknown than the future.
416 412 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06004_003870_VENAS Until a moment finally arrives, we cannot know for certain what will come to pass─regardless of our supposed foreknowledge. So you needn't worry for us.
417 413 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06004_003880_VENAS More importantly, that you should go to such great lengths as to travel unto the past bespeaks the gravity of your quest.
418 414 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06004_003890_VENAS Will you not reveal it to us? Mayhap we can be of aid to your cause.
419 415 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06004_003900_EMETSELCH No subtitles, report if displayed.
420 416 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06004_003910_EMETSELCH If this is true, then you've been keeping quite the secret to yourself.
421 417 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06004_003920_EMETSELCH As a representative of the Convocation, I will hear it all. Your identity, purpose─everything.
422 418 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06004_003930_VENAS Why don't we move to a place more conducive to calm conversation.
423 419 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06004_003940_VENAS I've been working here for some days now at an old friend's behest.
424 420 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06004_003950_VENAS If it is agreeable, we may make use of my accommodation at Poieten Oikos.
425 421 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06004_003960_VENAS We were meant to meet, I am certain of it.
426 422 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06004_003970_VENAS Else I wouldn't have marked you so clearly and sent you unto myself in the past.
427 423 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06004_003980_VENAS It's precisely the sort of mischief I would get up to─and quite inspired, if I do say so myself.
428 424 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06004_003990_HYTHLODAEUS A wonderful aroma... I feel more relaxed already.
429 425 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06004_004000_VENAS Would that I had sweetmeats to offer, but I travel light out of habit.
430 426 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06004_004010_VENAS There's plenty of hot water, though, so please have as much tea as you like.
431 427 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06004_004020_VENAS Now then...will you tell us your tale?
432 428 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06004_Q6_000_001_NONE_VOICE In the future I came from...
433 429 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06004_A6_000_001_NONE_VOICE A calamity called the Final Days has befallen the world.
434 430 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06004_A6_000_002_NONE_VOICE The world has been sundered...broken into shards.
435 431 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06004_A6_000_003_NONE_VOICE Mankind is being forced to flee the star.
436 432 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06004_004030_EMETSELCH Why don't you start from the beginning?
437 433 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06004_004040_EMETSELCH Preposterous. Utterly preposterous.
438 434 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06004_004050_HYTHLODAEUS While not the words I would have chosen, I too have my doubts. Much of it borders on the incredulous.
439 435 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06004_004060_HYTHLODAEUS What of you, Venat?
440 436 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06004_004070_VENAS Not knowing the precise details of the first Final Days, 'tis difficult to determine the veracity of the tale.
441 437 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06004_004080_VENAS Supposing it is all true, I must ask myself why I would do what I did.
442 438 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06004_004090_VENAS Why would I feel I had no recourse but to oppose the Fourteen and create this Hydaelyn...
443 439 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06004_004100_VENAS Circumstances change, of course, but it would not have been an easy decision regardless.
444 440 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06004_004110_VENAS No, there must have been a reason. One compelling enough to force me to take such drastic measures.
445 441 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06004_004120_VENAS Then there is the Elpis flower, which I said would serve as a guide.
446 442 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06004_004130_VENAS That it's of import to your mission is plain, but your presence here leads me to believe that this place also holds significance.
447 443 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06004_004140_VENAS But what could it be? What are we meant to accomplish?
448 444 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06004_004150_HYTHLODAEUS Might it not be simply thus?
449 445 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06004_004160_HYTHLODAEUS In the future whence he came, the Final Days could not be averted. Mankind has no choice but to flee the star.
450 446 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06004_004170_HYTHLODAEUS In the future whence she came, the Final Days could not be averted. Mankind has no choice but to flee the star.
451 447 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06004_004180_HYTHLODAEUS By alerting us to that eventuality, perhaps you wished to pave the way for other futures.
452 448 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06004_004190_VENAS Theoretically speaking, it is a possibility.
453 449 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06004_004200_VENAS Yet if that were my primary objective, I see no reason to guide our friend to Elpis specifically.
454 450 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06004_004210_VENAS The Capitol in Amaurot, or even my own home would be more logical destinations.
455 451 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06004_004220_HYTHLODAEUS True, true... I note also that Hydaelyn did not specify a point in time to which he must return.
456 452 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06004_004230_HYTHLODAEUS True, true... I note also that Hydaelyn did not specify a point in time to which she must return.
457 453 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06004_004240_HYTHLODAEUS By this, it may be inferred that it was not critical that we should meet.
458 454 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06004_004250_VENAS Alternately, She had reason to believe that our paths would converge, coincidental though it may seem.
459 455 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06004_004260_HYTHLODAEUS This is quite a puzzle, and we do not have all the pieces...
460 456 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06004_004270_VENAS Hardly any. But we do have one immutable fact.
461 457 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06004_004280_VENAS If the Final Days are indeed as described, they will bring death to all that I hold dear.
462 458 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06004_004290_VENAS Yet despite being afforded long years of preparation, the only provisions I could make were...for flight?
463 459 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06004_004300_VENAS Nay, my first and foremost endeavor would be to find a way to forestall the coming doom.
464 460 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06004_004310_HYTHLODAEUS Given that even the Fourteen failed, mayhap you deemed it impossible.
465 461 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06004_004320_VENAS Nothing is impossible. This, I have always believed.
466 462 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06004_004330_VENAS And if Hydaelyn is indeed me, She would believe the same.
467 463 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06004_004340_EMETSELCH Listen to yourself. Are you seriously entertaining the notion that you are a messianic figure in some far-fetched tale?
468 464 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06004_004350_EMETSELCH Well, I will not. I refuse to accept that our world could be undone by some unforeseen calamity.
469 465 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06004_004360_EMETSELCH I also take offense to my portrayal as a megalomaniacal madman.
470 466 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06004_004370_EMETSELCH To sacrifice oneself for the star is a noble act, and I would hold those who gave themselves to this Zodiark in the highest esteem.
471 467 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06004_004380_EMETSELCH Yet you claim I recreated Amaurot and populated it with phantoms of our people. A bizarre indulgence that would be insulting to their memory.
472 468 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06004_004390_EMETSELCH Worse still, I even <Emphasis>invited</Emphasis> you there─literally invited my own downfall. Why would I do something so idiotic and inexplicable?
473 469 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06004_004400_EMETSELCH Now, I will allow that the hypothetical task of restoring our world would be daunting in the extreme. The thought of having to bear such a burden for a thousand <Emphasis>thousand</Emphasis> lives horrifies me.
474 470 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06004_004410_EMETSELCH But I would never forsake my duty! I would never forsake my brethren!
475 471 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06004_004420_EMETSELCH You do not know me!
476 472 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06004_004430_EMETSELCH I've had my fill of your fiction. I will return to my duty...and you will not bother me again.
477 473 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06004_004440_HYTHLODAEUS Emet-Selch! Wait!
478 474 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06004_004450_VENAS You've seen much of Elpis already. If you have any observations to share, I should like to hear them.
479 475 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06004_Q7_000_001_NONE_VOICE What will you say?
480 476 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06004_A7_000_001_NONE_VOICE Dynamis is key to all of this.
481 477 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06004_A7_000_002_NONE_VOICE Hermes and Meteion are somehow involved.
482 478 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06004_A7_000_003_NONE_VOICE I'm still trying to make sense of it all...
483 479 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06004_004460_VENAS Ah yes, the energy distinct from aether. Though not my field, I have a basic understanding of dynamis.
484 480 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06004_004470_VENAS And you say Hermes researched the phenomenon in the course of creating Meteion... Yes, I believe this warrants further investigation.
485 481 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06004_004480_VENAS Hermes and his creation Meteion, you say?
486 482 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06004_004490_VENAS If dynamis is the selfsame energy as akasa, as it likely seems, then those two may well be at the center of the calamity to come. This warrants further investigation.
487 483 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06004_004500_VENAS I see. Then for now, it might be best that we follow your lead and investigate he who will become Fandaniel.
488 484 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06004_004510_VENAS And if dynamis is the selfsame energy as akasa, as it likely seems, we would do well to learn more about it.
489 485 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06004_004520_VENAS With that settled, 'tis time for action.
490 486 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06004_004530_VENAS The missing pieces of the puzzle are here, I'm certain of it. And when you find them, the picture my future self has painted will be complete, and you will have your answer.
491 487 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06004_004540_VENAS Suffice it to say I will aid you in your quest.
492 488 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06004_004550_VENAS Have faith. If Emet-Selch is the man Azem described to me, we've not seen the last of him.
493 489 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06004_004560_VENAS A delightful breeze...and a breathtaking view.
494 490 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06004_004570_VENAS What is it like in the future? Is the world still a beautiful place?
495 491 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06004_Q8_000_001_NONE_VOICE What will you say?
496 492 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06004_A8_000_001_NONE_VOICE As beautiful as ever.
497 493 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06004_A8_000_002_NONE_VOICE Some parts, yes. Others...not so much.
498 494 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06004_A8_000_003_NONE_VOICE It's more beautiful here.
499 495 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06004_004580_VENAS I swear, I could hear the glimmer in your eyes. And the adoration in your voice.
500 496 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06004_004590_VENAS Dark, hidden places, rife with danger? Those have an altogether different but no less powerful sort of appeal.
501 497 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06004_004600_VENAS Elpis is a place of exceptional beauty in this age, so it may not make for a fair comparison.
502 498 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06004_004610_VENAS While we wait, will you not tell me about your adventures?
503 499 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06004_004620_VENAS Not the portentous events which led you here, but the simple delights all your own.
504 500 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06004_004630_VENAS By learning about the future world, I may gain insight into future me's plans.
505 501 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06004_004640_VENAS But more than that, I have an interest simply as a fellow traveler. Short of going somewhere oneself, there's naught more stirring than hearing another's account.
506 502 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06004_004650_VENAS Incredible! Would that I could have been there to see it!
507 503 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06004_004660_VENAS No subtitles, report if displayed.
508 504 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06004_004670_VENAS Yours is a harsh and unforgiving world. Yet in spite of this, your brethren hold fast to their virtue.
509 505 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06004_004680_VENAS To know that the light of mankind's potential still shines, even in that faraway place... It gives me heart.
510 506 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06004_004690_VENAS Thank you for regaling me with your tales. I will treasure every word.
511 507 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06004_004700_VENAS As you know, I was once a scholar. And among other things, I sought to understand the workings of the world.
512 508 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06004_004710_VENAS What exactly is aether? How formed the laws of nature? Whence sprung mankind?
513 509 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06004_004720_VENAS Riddles and mysteries beyond counting. Over the years I have managed to find answers to some few of them...
514 510 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06004_004730_VENAS Yet rather than attain a sense of mastery, the more I understood, the more I came to hold the world and its miracles in awe.
515 511 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06004_004740_VENAS We too are miracles, each and every one of us. Born of the warm breath of life that traverses the heavens, swirling through eternity.
516 512 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06004_004750_VENAS When I fully grasped the improbability of our existence, nothing felt impossible any more. If it could be imagined, it could be done.
517 513 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06004_004760_VENAS A passion swelled within me. An epiphany dispelling all preconceptions of what was natural and true.
518 514 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06004_004770_VENAS And a presence without. Immense yet intimate─fate, perhaps─holding us in its tender embrace...
519 515 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06004_004780_VENAS As reassuring as it was intimidating. How keenly aware I became of creation's fragility, built as it is upon precarious happenstance.
520 516 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06004_004790_VENAS I was overcome with an irrepressible urge to know the world more intimately. To hear its voice, feel its breath...
521 517 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06004_004800_VENAS I ventured forth on a journey that very day. So very long ago now.
522 518 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06004_004810_VENAS Freed from presumption and prejudice, I saw the world through a newborn's eyes. Everything fresh and new and so, so beautiful.
523 519 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06004_004820_VENAS Lands that stretched on forever. Skies one could drown in. The heartbeat of nature, silent yet strong.
524 520 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06004_004830_VENAS And amidst it all a people. Beacons of light and life. Laughter that warmed my heart like naught else before.
525 521 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06004_004840_VENAS They are my meaning and my purpose. My love.
526 522 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06004_004850_VENAS And so long as they need help, I cannot return to the star.
527 523 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06004_004860_VENAS Perhaps my future self is still waiting for it.
528 524 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06004_004870_VENAS The moment she can let go and walk unto the end...
529 525 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06004_004880_VENAS Safe in the knowledge that man will find his own way.
530 526 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06004_004890_VENAS You, who are our future... Tell me this and tell me true.
531 527 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06004_004900_VENAS Has your journey been good? Has it been worthwhile?
532 528 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06004_004910_GALENE Pray forgive my lateness!
533 529 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06004_004920_GALENE My observation subject was rather irritable, and it took a while to settle it down...
534 530 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06004_004930_VENAS No need to apologize─your work takes precedence. Besides, we had a pleasant conversation in the meantime.
535 531 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06004_004940_GALENE You're too kind. Now then, I'm told you wished to ask me some questions?
536 532 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06004_004950_VENAS Indeed. I've an interest in one of Hermes's creations─Meteion. You witnessed a host of them take flight, yes?
537 533 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06004_004960_GALENE Ohhh, that! Yes! Yes, I did!
538 534 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06004_004970_GALENE 'Twas in the dark of the morn. I'd left the Thalassai after nocturnal observation.
539 535 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06004_004980_GALENE As I walked along, I spied a bright light climbing high into the southeastern skies. Then, in an instant, it was gone─like a shooting star, only rising rather than falling.
540 536 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06004_004990_GALENE But then another shot up. Then another, and another. Intrigued, I made my way to the edge to investigate.
541 537 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06004_005000_GALENE And who should I spy on an isle to the south but Hermes and Meteion─the Meteia, rather.
542 538 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06004_005010_GALENE There were lots of them, and I realized they must be the shooting stars that I'd seen!
543 539 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06004_005020_VENAS A dazzling spectacle indeed... Have you spoken with Hermes about this?
544 540 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06004_005030_GALENE Oh, yes. The sight left such an impression on me that I approached him about his mystery project the very next day.
545 541 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06004_005040_GALENE Alas, he said that he couldn't reveal anything just yet─that he needed to conduct further tests.
546 542 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06004_005050_GALENE It shouldn't be long now, though.
547 543 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06004_005060_GALENE He often returns to that isle, and I have a feeling he's nearing a breakthrough.
548 544 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06004_005070_VENAS Splendid. We are likewise eager for the details.
549 545 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06004_005080_VENAS Well, that is all we wished to ask. Thank you for taking the time to indulge our curiosity.
550 546 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06004_005090_GALENE You're very welcome. It's always a pleasure to speak with other inquisitive souls.
551 547 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06004_005100_GALENE Oh, and will you be descending now? If so, I shall link the doors for you.
552 548 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06004_005110_VENAS Please.
553 549 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06004_005120_VENAS 'Twas my intent to finish it, but clearly I underestimated you.
554 550 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06004_005130_VENAS One would think I never learn. I made the same mistake with Azem when we first sparred. Despite being less than half my age, his strength was astounding.
555 551 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06004_005140_VENAS One would think I never learn. I made the same mistake with Azem when we first sparred. Despite being less than half my age, her strength was astounding.
556 552 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06004_005150_VENAS As is yours. 'Tis plain you have weathered considerable hardship. Far more, even, than your tales would suggest.
557 553 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06004_005160_VENAS It seems we have both learned much on our journeys.
558 554 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06004_005170_VENAS Well now, I daresay he has warmed to you.
559 555 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06004_005180_VENAS A boon to be sure. He never forgets his favorites, and is ever eager to come to their aid.
560 556 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06004_005190_VENAS Quite a small place, lacking even the most basic equipment.
561 557 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06004_005200_VENAS The present may yield no clues, but we may yet try perusing the past. Have you done this before?
562 558 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06004_005210_VENAS So you cannot control the power freely. Worry not, I shall assist you.
563 559 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06004_005220_VENAS Come and stand before me.
564 560 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06004_005230_VENAS There are two ways to see the past.
565 561 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06004_005240_VENAS The first entails peering through the walls of the soul in the moment a subject is recalling a memory.
566 562 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06004_005250_VENAS The second requires no subject, and is instead a process of piecing together an event from ripples left in the ambient aether.
567 563 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06004_005260_VENAS As memories are etched upon the aether of the soul, so too are they etched upon the aether of the world. In this way can history be preserved.
568 564 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06004_005270_VENAS Such memories are given to fading, however, and can prove challenging to visit.
569 565 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06004_005280_VENAS But come, let us try. Close your eyes.
570 566 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06004_005290_METEION All units fully functional and proceeding on course towards their respective stars.
571 567 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06004_005300_METEION Estimated time to completion of survey is one hundred and eight cycles.
572 568 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06004_005310_METEION End of status report. Severing connection with shared consciousness.
573 569 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06004_005320_METEION Did you hear that, Hermes? All is well!
574 570 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06004_005330_HERMES No subtitles, report if displayed.
575 571 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06004_005340_HERMES Yes, good tidings at long last...
576 572 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06004_005350_HERMES Every step of the way, I've been reminded how little we understand creation. How the universe defies imagination.
577 573 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06004_005360_METEION But soon we won't need to speculate. We'll know the answers─what others live for!
578 574 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06004_005370_HERMES Indeed... And we'll owe it all to you and your sisters.
579 575 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06004_005380_METEION No subtitles, report if displayed.
580 576 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06004_005390_METEION I wonder... What answers we will get?
581 577 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06004_005400_HERMES Whatever intelligent beings that exist out there are bound to be vastly different from us.
582 578 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06004_005410_HERMES Diverse in form and culture. Possessed of unique ways of thinking.
583 579 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06004_005420_HERMES Their conception of life and its purpose will be no exception. Completely and utterly unlike ours.
584 580 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06004_005430_METEION Utterly unlike...how?
585 581 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06004_005440_HERMES I have no idea...
586 582 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06004_005450_HERMES Yet whatever answers we receive, I will not dismiss them out of hand. No, I will think earnestly on them all.
587 583 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06004_005460_HERMES Then I will share them with our people, that together we may contemplate our own existence.
588 584 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06004_005470_HERMES Perhaps then our star will become a better place─not only for man, but for all life.
589 585 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06004_005480_HERMES Meteion. Though I gave you wings to soar the heavens, I did not teach you how to walk the earth. So loath was I to bind another living being.
590 586 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06004_005490_HERMES In the course of your long journey, you will learn from those you meet. Learn to walk and run and so much more.
591 587 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06004_005500_HERMES And when you return, older and wiser, we will have a celebration to mark your homecoming and coming of age both.
592 588 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06004_005510_METEION Will there be apples? Covered in syrup?
593 589 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06004_005520_HERMES And how are you supposed to eat them?
594 590 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06004_005530_HERMES Hmm... Rather than food... Perhaps...
595 591 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06004_005540_HERMES A flower.
596 592 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06004_005550_HERMES Yes. Upon your return, I will gift you a beautiful flower.
597 593 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06004_005560_VENAS So, what is your opinion?
598 594 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06004_Q9_000_001_NONE_VOICE What will you say?
599 595 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06004_A9_000_001_NONE_VOICE Hermes wouldn't wish for the Final Days.
600 596 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06004_A9_000_002_NONE_VOICE Hermes is a gentle soul. And yet...
601 597 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06004_A9_000_003_NONE_VOICE I couldn't say just by this moment alone.
602 598 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06004_005570_VENAS I am inclined to agree.
603 599 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06004_005580_VENAS As we had suspected, the two are somehow involved. Yet 'tis difficult to believe that they would deliberately seek to end all life.
604 600 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06004_005590_VENAS I understand. He is a gentle soul, and well intentioned. Yet it does not take ill intent to beget ill.
605 601 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06004_005600_VENAS We must consider the possibility that something may have gone awry. Perhaps it was oversight...or simply an accident.
606 602 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06004_005610_VENAS As you say, that was hardly conclusive. Yet based on what we witnessed, I find it difficult to believe that they would deliberately seek to end all life.
607 603 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06004_005620_VENAS Be that as it may, we cannot rule out the possibility that they will play a part in bringing about the Final Days. Perhaps unwittingly.
608 604 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06004_005630_VENAS In light of this...
609 605 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06004_005640_VENAS I propose that we reveal your tale to Hermes himself.
610 606 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06004_005650_VENAS If he does not wish for the Final Days, as we believe, he may well join us in pursuing a solution.
611 607 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06004_005660_VENAS Then it is settled. Let us seek out our friend with all swiftness.
612 608 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06004_005670_VENAS 'Twould not do to let such a pure soul be blackened by tragedy.
613 609 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06004_005680_HERMES My apologies for keeping you waiting. I understand there is a matter you wish to discuss.
614 610 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06004_005690_EMETSELCH Aye, a matter of the utmost gravity...if one can suspend disbelief.
615 611 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06004_005700_EMETSELCH Go on, then. Tell him what you told us. Who you are and why you came.
616 612 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06004_005710_HERMES The Final Days...
617 613 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06004_005720_VENAS The phenomena observed during these star-encompassing calamities is likely the product of a dynamis reaction.
618 614 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06004_005730_VENAS And none is more versed in the applications of this energy than you, Hermes.
619 615 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06004_005740_VENAS I must stress that we do not believe you would desire such destruction. We come not to lodge accusations, but to beg your wisdom.
620 616 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06004_005750_VENAS And so, distressing though the exercise may be, I ask that you share with us your opinion on the matter─on the assumption that our visitor's tale is true.
621 617 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06004_005760_HERMES Even you, Venat...
622 618 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06004_005770_HERMES As you say, the phenomena observed in the two calamities may both be attributed to dynamis.
623 619 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06004_005780_HERMES Of note is the difference in its effect. In the first Final Days, it warped creation magicks. In the second, it warped the people themselves.
624 620 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06004_005790_HERMES The key variable, I suspect, is the aetheric density of the men of each age.
625 621 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06004_005800_HERMES As you know, aether, in essence, negates dynamis.
626 622 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06004_005810_HERMES Harboring high concentrations of aether, we ancients cannot readily manipulate dynamis─nor be manipulated by it. Therefore, rather than our selves, the calamity affected our magicks.
627 623 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06004_005820_HERMES In contrast, having been sundered, the people of the future are composed of but a fraction of our aether.
628 624 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06004_005830_HERMES Thus are they susceptible to the influence of dynamis─and its transformative potential.
629 625 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06004_005840_HERMES But that would explain only the mechanism, not the cause... Though perhaps...
630 626 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06004_005850_EMETSELCH What is it? Even should it be a hypothesis, we would hear it.
631 627 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06004_005860_HERMES Dynamis is an energy put in motion by feelings. Feelings for which there must first exist a source.
632 628 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06004_005870_HERMES A source to which the victims must be attuned─one that harbors the selfsame negative emotions. Elsewise, it could not be the agent of such extreme change.
633 629 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06004_005880_VENAS So it wasn't the stagnation of the celestial currents...
634 630 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06004_005890_VENAS Someone─or something─is instigating the star's demise.
635 631 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06004_005900_EMETSELCH So we've a villain on our hands after all... Any idea who or what it could be?
636 632 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06004_005910_HERMES The celestial currents comprise the outermost layer of the star's aether, encasing it like a protective sphere.
637 633 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06004_005920_HERMES According to your tale, 'twas where the currents were weakest that the phenomena first manifested.
638 634 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06004_005930_HERMES If the inciting factor came from without Etheirys, then its effects would first be seen in those locations.
639 635 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06004_005940_METEION Greetings. Can you hear me?
640 636 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06004_005950_METEION Do not be alarmed─I mean you no harm.
641 637 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06004_005960_METEION I wish only to hear your words. Share your feelings. Know your thoughts.
642 638 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06004_005970_METEION May we please...be friends?
643 639 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06004_005980_HERMES Meteion? What is it?
644 640 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06004_005990_METEION Executing scheduled task. Suspending individual self and connecting to shared consciousness.
645 641 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06004_006000_METEION Connection established. Commencing status report.
646 642 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06004_006010_METEION Ah! Ahhh! Ahhhhhh!
647 643 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06004_006020_METEION It hurts, it hurts! It hurts!
648 644 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06004_006030_METEION So hot...so cold...so sad... I don't understand... Make it stop... Please, make it stop...
649 645 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06004_006040_HERMES Steady, Meteion! Steady!
650 646 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06004_006050_METEION So scared...so lonely... The pain...it's too much...
651 647 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06004_006060_METEION Why...why...why do we...they...hurt...hurt...hate...HATE!
652 648 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06004_006070_METEION This is wrong! All wrong!
653 649 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06004_006080_EMETSELCH She's...gone? But how?
654 650 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06004_006090_HERMES She has altered her aetheric density in order to blend in with her surroundings. An ability for avoiding confrontation.
655 651 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06004_006100_HYTHLODAEUS Most effective...frustratingly so. I can't see her either─not even a trace.
656 652 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06004_006110_METEION Stay away. Please. This is wrong. My mistake. So please...
657 653 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06004_006120_VENAS Are you all right?
658 654 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06004_006130_VENAS ...In your mind? No, we only heard her speak the instant before she vanished.
659 655 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06004_006140_HERMES Of course. When communicating without words, Meteion also employs dynamis.
660 656 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06004_006150_HERMES That would explain why you were able to hear her when we could not.
661 657 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06004_006160_EMETSELCH Then you are our best chance of finding her. Follow her voice, and try to track her down.
662 658 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06004_006170_EMETSELCH Hindered though we may be, let us split up and search as well.
663 659 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06004_006180_EMETSELCH Aha!
664 660 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06004_006190_EMETSELCH Give chase. We shall herd her into the shelter.
665 661 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06004_006200_METEION No subtitles, report if displayed.
666 662 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06004_006210_METEION No subtitles, report if displayed.
667 663 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06004_006220_HERMES Please, Meteion. We must speak.
668 664 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06004_006230_METEION I'm sorry, Hermes... I'm so sorry...
669 665 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06004_006240_METEION If someone can hear these words, then please...
670 666 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06004_006250_METEION Please...protect them. Protect them all.
671 667 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06004_006260_METEION Individual self suspended. Connection with shared consciousness stable.
672 668 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06004_006270_METEION Our survey is complete. We shall now report our findings.
673 669 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06004_006280_METEION All units safely arrived at their respective destinations. Seeking answers to Hermes's question, we attempted to make contact with the intelligent denizens of each star.
674 670 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06004_006290_METEION Results are as follows, in order of numerical code.
675 671 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06004_006300_METEION Hena: Traces of civilization found─structures believed to have served as domiciles. No extant life-forms detected.
676 672 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06004_006310_METEION Dyo: Ruined remnants of buildings scattered across star, surface of which is encased in ice. Presence of life could not be verified.
677 673 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06004_006320_METEION Tria: Evidence of large population centers akin to cities recovered. No extant life-forms found─only their lingering essence.
678 674 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06004_006330_METEION Tessera: Edifices surmised to be abandoned residences found. No extant life-forms detected. Deadly plague or extreme environmental degradation likely to have led to mass extinction.
679 675 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06004_006340_HERMES They are all...dead?
680 676 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06004_006350_METEION Okto: Star found in state of violent conflict. Contact successfully made with inhabitants, but deployment of weapons of mass destruction resulted in total annihilation of local population shortly thereafter.
681 677 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06004_006360_METEION Ennea: Star is a barren desert. No identifiable flora found. Bones of living beings resembling men discovered beneath sands, but determination regarding their intelligence inconclusive.
682 678 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06004_006370_EMETSELCH Remind me, Hermes. What exactly was the question you entrusted to Meteion?
683 679 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06004_006380_HERMES I tasked her with asking what others live for. What gives their lives...meaning...
684 680 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06004_006390_EMETSELCH Did you consider what may happen if the premise of the question is flawed?
685 681 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06004_006400_EMETSELCH To be able to answer it, one must be living─and desire to continue doing so.
686 682 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06004_006410_EMETSELCH But if Meteion finds no living beings in the course of her journey...
687 683 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06004_006420_EMETSELCH Or none who desire to live, what then?
688 684 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06004_006430_EMETSELCH What answers would she derive from their silence?
689 685 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06004_006440_HERMES No subtitles, reported if displayed.
690 686 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06004_006450_VENAS Meteion, enough. Suspend your mission and return hither at once.
691 687 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06004_006460_METEION Deka-pente: Local civilization once flourished under auspices of higher power. Said power later laid waste to civilization in fit of rage.
692 688 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06004_006470_METEION Upon revealing this to me, entity elected to self-terminate in lieu of providing answer to question. No other intelligent life-forms found.
693 689 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06004_006480_EMETSELCH Turning a deaf ear, are we?
694 690 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06004_006490_EMETSELCH We are taking Meteion back to Amaurot. As I understand, we will need her if we are to bring back all of her sisters.
695 691 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06004_006500_HERMES Y-Yes...
696 692 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06004_006510_HERMES Meteion...
697 693 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06004_006520_HERMES It isn't right, is it? It isn't right to turn away from the answer...even if the answer...is pain...
698 694 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06004_006530_HERMES Even if we aberrations must scream ourselves hoarse to be heard...
699 695 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06004_006540_HERMES Aye. Whatever answers we find, I will not dismiss them out of hand. These words I said to you...and I will hold myself to them.
700 696 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06004_006550_EMETSELCH What is the meaning of this!?
701 697 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06004_006560_HERMES You cannot take Meteion. Not until she has finished her report.
702 698 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06004_006570_HERMES All else must wait.
703 699 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06004_006580_EMETSELCH You fool!
704 700 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06004_006590_HERMES So, it comes to this.
705 701 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06004_006600_HERMES I've no wish to fight. But this time, I cannot yield.
706 702 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06004_006610_HERMES Though the world may think me a mad, desperate fool, I will hold fast to my conviction.
707 703 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06004_006620_HERMES No... My power...
708 704 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06004_006630_EMETSELCH It's over, Hermes. In the name of the Convocation, I hereby take Meteion into custody.
709 705 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06004_006640_EMETSELCH And setting aside the matter of your nomination, you will come with us, too. We require your knowledge to assess and resolve the situation.
710 706 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06004_006650_HERMES No subtitles, report if displayed.
711 707 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06004_006660_HERMES Meteion... I'm so sorry... Would that I could have listened to your report in full...
712 708 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06004_006670_HERMES Reflected upon its meaning and conveyed it to others─that they might reconsider their chosen course...
713 709 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06004_006680_HERMES But I have failed, and that wish will never be realized. However...
714 710 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06004_006690_HERMES Ere our fates become the province of others, I bid you tell me...just one thing.
715 711 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06004_006700_HERMES Was there happiness in those distant stars?
716 712 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06004_006710_HERMES Was there a reason for living?
717 713 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06004_006720_METEION We conducted our search as per your instructions.
718 714 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06004_006730_METEION We scoured historical records. Communed with the spirits of the deceased.
719 715 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06004_006740_METEION Heard the final testaments of the dying. Welcomed their shadowed hearts into our own.
720 716 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06004_006750_METEION One race had striven to create a world bereft of animosity.
721 717 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06004_006760_METEION They renounced relationships to avoid interpersonal strife, and in so doing brought about societal collapse.
722 718 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06004_006770_METEION One race had renounced war and devoted itself to the enrichment of its people.
723 719 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06004_006780_METEION They were conquered. Though they destroyed the enemy in reprisal, they could not regain their former glory.
724 720 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06004_006790_METEION One race had concluded that finite time was the root of all woes. Aspiring to shatter its shackles, they went in search of infinity.
725 721 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06004_006800_METEION They discovered nothing is infinite, and that neither time or death can be cheated. Disillusioned, they gave up on the future─and themselves.
726 722 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06004_006810_METEION One race had discarded all things that gave rise to sorrow, hoping to have only joy.
727 723 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06004_006820_METEION They found joy lost its savor in the absence of sorrow, and lost their will to live.
728 724 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06004_006830_METEION Though worlds apart, these peoples shared a belief. The belief that they had tried their best.
729 725 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06004_006840_METEION That they had tried to fulfill their potential, with every step and success.
730 726 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06004_006850_METEION In the course of which they learned the truth.
731 727 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06004_006860_METEION That they would never be free of fear and sorrow, anger and despair─of loneliness─so long as they yet lived.
732 728 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06004_006870_METEION Even now, their souls cry out for oblivion. And to this song of anguish, I lend my voice. We lend our voice.
733 729 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06004_006880_METEION O beloved mankind, shimmering jewels of beautiful Etheirys... Rejoice, for we will free you from the cruel yoke of existence.
734 730 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06004_006890_METEION There is no need to struggle in vain, for in nihility awaits salvation. You will know peace and serenity...and it will be beautiful.
735 731 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06004_006900_METEION We will make our nest at the edge of the universe, and there in the dark of dead worlds hoard sorrow and suffering.
736 732 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06004_006910_METEION There we will sing, our chorus ever louder and ever clearer, that our song may reach even this aether-shrouded star.
737 733 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06004_006920_METEION Such is the answer we have found in the stars. Such is the gift we now offer to Etheirys.
738 734 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06004_006930_EMETSELCH Who are you to decide our fate? To decree we live or die?
739 735 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06004_006940_EMETSELCH Have you lost your mind!? You heard what she said! She means to destroy us all, yet you'd still take her side!?
740 736 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06004_006950_HERMES In the name of the star, we have discarded those creations that we deemed flawed.
741 737 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06004_006960_HERMES If we ourselves are flawed, does it not stand to reason that we too should be discarded?
742 738 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06004_006970_EMETSELCH That is sophistry and you know it!
743 739 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06004_006980_HERMES Perhaps it is. Perhaps I am wrong. But who is to say that you are right?
744 740 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06004_006990_HERMES Let us settle this with a determination.
745 741 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06004_007000_HERMES In my authority as chief overseer of Elpis, I will make a judgment on man's fitness to exist.
746 742 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06004_007010_HERMES If he can learn to value all life and retain his will to live, even should his end be justified, he will surely find a way to avert his demise.
747 743 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06004_007020_HERMES If not, he will perish from the star.
748 744 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06004_007030_HERMES As with all determinations, provisions must be made to ensure fairness.
749 745 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06004_007040_HERMES Kairos! Awaken!
750 746 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06004_007050_KAIROS (-Kairos-)Memory reconfiguration system Kairos activated. Awaiting instruction.
751 747 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06004_007060_HERMES Command: universal memory alteration. Target area: Ktisis Hyperboreia.
752 748 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06004_007070_HERMES Starting point: arrival of Emet-Selch of the Convocation at Propylaion. End point: the present.
753 749 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06004_007080_HERMES Erase the memories of all events, and replace with a vague recollection of the following:
754 750 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06004_007090_HERMES I was here, preparing to demonstrate the functionality of Kairos to Emet-Selch and Hythlodaeus.
755 751 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06004_007100_HERMES Meteion's shared consciousness became unstable. She and her sisters could not sustain their existence, and all dissipated with a burst.
756 752 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06004_007110_HERMES The resultant shockwave accidentally triggered Kairos, which erased several days of memories from all present. Execute.

758 754 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06004_007130_HYTHLODAEUS Bravo. I daresay one would be hard-pressed to make it fairer...
759 755 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06004_007140_HYTHLODAEUS Everything that you told us, everything that has happened─the fact we've even met... It will all be gone.
760 756 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06004_007150_HERMES Go, Meteion. To the edge of the universe, where none can reach you.
761 757 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06004_007160_METEION Hermes. Won't you come with me? If you were to shed your flesh, I should be able to carry you.

763 759 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06004_007170_HERMES I will remain. As a man, I will oppose the oblivion you bring.
764 760 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06004_007180_METEION Silly fool... Had you said yes, I would've granted you the gentlest end.
765 761 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06004_007190_VENAS This ends here!
766 762 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06004_007200_HERMES Fly, Meteion!

768 764 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06004_007220_EMETSELCH That is far enough, Hermes!

773 769 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06004_007260_HYTHLODAEUS No matter what, you cannot forget what happened today. For it is the key to saving your future─your world.
774 770 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06004_007270_HYTHLODAEUS This fight is our fight; what comes after, our problem to contend with. Not yours.
775 771 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06004_007280_HYTHLODAEUS No, your own struggle awaits. And no one else can take your place.
776 772 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06004_007290_HYTHLODAEUS You must flee this place with your memories intact─and I will see that you do!
777 773 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06004_007300_HYTHLODAEUS Now then, where is it...?
778 774 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06004_007310_HYTHLODAEUS There you are, my little confluence.
779 775 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06004_007320_VENAS Almost...

781 777 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06004_007340_VENAS Very well, then.
782 778 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06004_007350_VENAS You may elude us this day, but not forever!
783 779 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06004_007360_HYTHLODAEUS Meteion's gotten away...
784 780 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06004_007370_KAIROS (-Kairos-)Second process complete. One remaining to execution.
785 781 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06004_007380_HYTHLODAEUS No time for brooding.
786 782 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06004_007390_HYTHLODAEUS Listen well. Beyond lies a spatial confluence that connects the interior sections of this building.
787 783 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06004_007400_HYTHLODAEUS I will destroy the confluence and force open a way outside. When I do, you must jump through.
788 784 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06004_007410_HERMES I cannot tell you how sorry I am...
789 785 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06004_007420_HERMES ...But neither can I let you escape!
790 786 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06004_007430_HYTHLODAEUS Too brave by half...
791 787 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06004_007440_HYTHLODAEUS Exemplary work as always, Emet-Selch!
792 788 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06004_007450_HERMES What? But how? I thought the confluence was over...
793 789 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06004_007460_HYTHLODAEUS Over there? Yes, we were rather hoping you would.
794 790 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06004_007470_EMETSELCH It was never anywhere but where it is now.
795 791 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06004_007480_EMETSELCH The instant those two began making their way towards nothing, 'twas clear the plan was a diversion.
796 792 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06004_007490_HYTHLODAEUS I'm quite incapable of destroying a confluence, I must confess.
797 793 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06004_007500_EMETSELCH A gambit brazen beyond words. Though we've grown accustomed to reckless improvision due to the antics of an incorrigible associate.
798 794 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06004_007510_EMETSELCH Though in the case of certain present company, “incorrigible” is an understatement.
799 795 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06004_007520_EMETSELCH Honestly, I'm beginning to suspect it's a requirement for every Azem.
800 796 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06004_007530_EMETSELCH There's no time! Quickly!
801 797 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06004_007540_EMETSELCH Even now, I do not believe your tale. I would not suffer us to walk such a wretched path.
802 798 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06004_007550_EMETSELCH Still, if it must be said...
803 799 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06004_007560_EMETSELCH Do not squander it. The legacy I leave you.
804 800 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06004_007570_KAIROS (-Kairos-)Final process complete. Executing universal memory alteration.
805 801 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06004_007580_VENAS Go, Argos!

807 803 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06004_007600_VENAS I'm fine. Just a little tired.
808 804 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06004_007610_VENAS Can it be true?
809 805 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06004_007620_VENAS Are we the only ones left who see beauty in the world─in life?
810 806 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06004_007630_VENAS Are the stars above no more than husks of fallen civilizations?
811 807 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06004_007640_VENAS And yet...
812 808 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06004_007650_VENAS ...I feel her. Though she is unimaginably distant, I feel Meteion's presence─and the place whereto we must go.
813 809 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06004_007660_VENAS Ere she made good her escape, I placed an enchantment upon her. One which allows us to follow her trail.
814 810 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06004_007670_VENAS She has already left the outermost bounds of Etheirys, and continues on her way. Given the vastness of the universe, it will still be no easy feat to track her down.
815 811 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06004_007680_VENAS But thanks to Emet-Selch and Hythlodaeus, all is not lost. We remember.
816 812 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06004_007690_VENAS So long as we remember, our fates remain ours to shape.
817 813 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06004_Q10_000_001_NONE_VOICE What will you say?
818 814 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06004_A10_000_001_NONE_VOICE What became of the others, I wonder...
819 815 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06004_A10_000_002_NONE_VOICE So...what now?
820 816 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06004_007700_VENAS I'd like to know too. Let us ascertain the situation at Ktisis Hyperboreia, where they should still be.
821 817 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06004_007710_VENAS What indeed. Let us begin by ascertaining the situation at Ktisis Hyperboreia, where the others should still be.
822 818 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06004_007720_VENAS Given the likely state of their memories, however, 'twould be imprudent for us to approach them directly. In which case...
823 819 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06004_007730_VENAS I am sorry, my friend. I've asked much of you this day, but may I trouble you one last time?
824 820 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06004_007740_VENAS Argos will investigate in our stead. We will share in his consciousness, and see and hear as if we were with him.
825 821 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06004_007750_VENAS Now, close your eyes and open your mind...
826 822 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06004_007760_HYPERBOREIASTAFF Thank goodness you are unharmed.
827 823 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06004_007770_EMETSELCH Unharmed? There is a gaping hole in my memories. I can scarcely remember arriving here in Elpis...
828 824 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06004_007780_HERMES Forgive me...
829 825 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06004_007790_HERMES I was preparing to demonstrate the functionality of Kairos to our guests.
830 826 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06004_007800_HERMES But Meteion...her shared consciousness became unstable. And she...she...
831 827 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06004_007810_HYPERBOREIASTAFF So that's what prompted the state of alert.
832 828 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06004_007820_HYPERBOREIASTAFF And when you went to investigate, you were caught in Kairos's accidental operation.
833 829 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06004_007830_EMETSELCH So it would seem... It's all a blur to me.
834 830 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06004_007840_HYPERBOREIASTAFF Such an unfortunate accident... Oh, and what of Venat and your other companion? You went inside together, as I recall.
835 831 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06004_007850_EMETSELCH We did?
836 832 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06004_007860_HYTHLODAEUS If Venat was with us, I have no recollection of it.
837 833 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06004_007870_HYTHLODAEUS But that there is her familiar, is it not? The fellow seems happy enough, so I think it safe to assume his mistress is well.
838 834 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06004_007880_HYTHLODAEUS I haven't the slightest notion who this other companion might be, however...
839 835 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06004_007890_HYPERBOREIASTAFF Ah, well, that individual struck me as a bit...different, for want of a better word.
840 836 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06004_007900_HYPERBOREIASTAFF Perhaps it wasn't actually a person, but some manner of creation.
841 837 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06004_007910_HYTHLODAEUS Curious... I must ask Venat about it when next we meet.
842 838 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06004_007920_EMETSELCH Yes, yes, you do that. Now, if we may tend to Hermes? Whatever this Meteion did, it seems he bore the brunt of it.
843 839 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06004_007930_EMETSELCH Once you are fit to travel, you will return with us to Amaurot. We need to make certain there are no other ill effects.
844 840 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06004_007940_EMETSELCH Also─I am here on business of the Fourteen. We've already had the conversation, like as not, but since your toy wiped my memory, we'll have to have it again.
845 841 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06004_007950_HERMES Yes, of course. As you see fit.
846 842 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06004_007960_HYTHLODAEUS This Kairos─it manipulates memories through the emission of aetheric waves, correct?
847 843 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06004_007970_HYTHLODAEUS There is a theory which holds that memories scoured by blasts of aether are restored when the soul is cleansed in the Underworld.
848 844 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06004_007980_HYTHLODAEUS If true, then perhaps when our time comes to return to the star, we shall remember these few days we have lost.
849 845 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06004_007990_EMETSELCH I doubt aught of interest occurred. Look forward to the revelation if you like, but I should prefer to reminisce on more meaningful moments.
850 846 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06004_008000_VENAS Let us rest. If only for a while.
851 847 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06004_008010_VENAS After all, you and I... We still have a long, long way to go.
852 848 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06004_008020_VENAS So...it is within. The portal that brought you hither...and will take you home.
853 849 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06004_Q11_000_001_NONE_VOICE What will you say?
854 850 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06004_A11_000_001_NONE_VOICE Yes. This is where we part ways.
855 851 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06004_A11_000_002_NONE_VOICE Perhaps I should stay and help...
856 852 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06004_008030_VENAS May you and yours emerge triumphant.
857 853 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06004_008040_VENAS Make use of the knowledge you have gained, that your days in Elpis and our friends' sacrifice be not in vain.
858 854 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06004_008050_VENAS I appreciate your sentiment, I truly do, but 'tis a very long game that we must now play.
859 855 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06004_008060_VENAS And while you have maintained a stable presence here thus far, there are dangers in lingering overlong.
860 856 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06004_008070_VENAS No, you must return to your own battlefield. Make use of the knowledge you have attained, that your days here and our friends' sacrifice be not in vain.
861 857 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06004_008080_VENAS With Meteion free to pursue her designs, 'tis only a matter of time until the Final Days are upon us.
862 858 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06004_008090_VENAS We must be ready. From fortifying our defenses to securing our escape, there is much to be done.
863 859 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06004_008100_VENAS In spite of this, we cannot allow the report that set this calamity in motion to become common knowledge. Were the masses to learn the fates of the other stars, I fear the situation would spiral out of our control.
864 860 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06004_008110_VENAS I must carefully consider who can be trusted, and bring them into the fold.
865 861 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06004_008120_VENAS Ordinarily, I wouldn't hesitate to call upon the Fourteen. However, it was the desire for a fair determination that drove Hermes to attempt to erase our memories; were he made aware of his actions, there is no telling whether he would remain a friend or become a foe.
866 862 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06004_008130_VENAS Alternately, we might try to alienate him from the Convocation. Yet in doing so, we would deprive ourselves of a brilliant mind who would be invaluable in the crises to come.
867 863 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06004_008140_VENAS Quite the dilemma... Which is why I must work independently of the Convocation.
868 864 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06004_008150_VENAS Regardless of how we proceed, if we are to permanently avert the Final Days, we must be equal to Hermes's challenge. We must prove that mankind is worthy to exist.
869 865 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06004_008160_VENAS And this hinges, I think, on how we confront the all-consuming despair that accompanies a senseless and seemingly inevitable end.
870 866 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06004_008170_VENAS Bewildered and divided, we would perish like the peoples of those celestial ruins.
871 867 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06004_008180_VENAS We could not hope to survive the Final Days, much less take the battle to Meteion at her nest.
872 868 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06004_008190_VENAS We must find a way to defeat despair. To unite and prepare as many as possible for the struggle ahead.
873 869 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06004_008200_VENAS Heavy will weigh the burden of guiding this legion of souls...
874 870 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06004_008210_VENAS Yet I have faith in mankind's potential. As long as he believes in himself, there is naught he cannot achieve. So I will not give up on him. On us.
875 871 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06004_008220_VENAS You may find your world to be very different. Or perhaps the erasure of our friends' memories has sown the seeds of a conjunction between us.
876 872 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06004_008230_VENAS We cannot know until the moment is at hand. So shall I strive to do my best, taking naught for granted as I walk my path.
877 873 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06004_008240_VENAS And I pray you walk with me to the end.
878 874 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06004_008250_VENAS As you move forward, so too will I. As will all resolved to fight for the morrow.
879 875 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06004_008260_VENAS And when mankind has found the strength to stand against despair...
880 876 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06004_008270_VENAS We shall silence the song of oblivion.
881 877 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06004_008280_VENAS She who sings it will learn our journey is far from over. This I promise.
882 878 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06004_008290_VENAS Fare you well, my light of the future. Till we meet again.
883 879 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06004_008300_HERMES From this day forth, I shall strive to bring honor to the seat of Fandaniel.
884 880 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06004_008310_VENAS Even now, I remember standing there. Locked in a moment where the sky is aflame.
885 881 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06004_008320_VENAS Where stars fall as tears, and screams darken the seas.
886 882 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06004_008330_VENAS Where resignation rots the trees.
887 883 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06004_008340_VENAS Where terror twists magicks into abominations.
888 884 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06004_008350_VENAS Such is the lament of they who have gone before.
889 885 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06004_008360_VENAS The song of they who tried and failed to create a better world. The song of the end.
890 886 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06004_008370_VENAS That which hides at the edge of the universe is no longer hope's creation.
891 887 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06004_008380_VENAS It is hopelessness incarnate.
892 888 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06004_008390_VENAS That day, mankind saw half of its number sacrificed to bring forth Zodiark.
893 889 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06004_008400_VENAS And covering the star in a shroud of aether, we forestalled the Final Days.
894 890 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06004_008410_VENAS Yet the cries echoed still...
895 891 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06004_008420_VENAS We wept for innocence lost. Wailed for death inevitable.
896 892 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06004_008430_VENAS A reality too terrible to bear...
897 893 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06004_008440_VENAS And for too many, who sought comfort in gilded memories of joyful days and tranquil nights.
898 894 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06004_008450_ANCIENTMEMORYA This is all wrong... Why must we suffer so?
899 895 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06004_008460_ANCIENTMEMORYB It needn't be like this. No, there must be a way to restore things to the way they were. To reclaim the perfect paradise we once had.
900 896 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06004_008470_VENAS No, my friends. Suffering exists, and we cannot pretend otherwise.
901 897 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06004_008480_VENAS No civilization, however great, could eliminate it. If we would live, we must accept it as our constant companion.
902 898 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06004_008490_VENAS Let us not seek to forget this tragedy. Let us carry it in our hearts, that we may grow stronger and know true happiness.
903 899 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06004_008500_ANCIENTMEMORYA We can't accept it! We <Emphasis>won't</Emphasis> accept it! It will be ours again─a world free of sorrow!
904 900 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06004_008510_VENAS No, it will not, for there has ever been sorrow. Mankind was but spared its biting sting for a time.
905 901 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06004_008520_VENAS So please, open your eyes. To try and reclaim those lives we lost by sacrificing yet more isn't wisdom. It is weakness.
906 902 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06004_008530_VENAS No paradise is without its shadows. If we cannot accept this truth and learn from our pain, then our plight shall be repeated.
907 903 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06004_008540_ANCIENTMEMORYB O mighty Zodiark, god born of our boundless faith! We bid you hear our prayer!
908 904 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06004_008550_ANCIENTMEMORYB Accept this offering of lives, and deliver unto us the lives we once had. Deliver unto us the days of old...
909 905 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06004_008560_ANCIENTMEMORYB The days when the star was a font of love, and we knew naught but bliss!
910 906 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06004_008570_ANCIENTMEMORYA You would destroy it? Our beautiful world?
911 907 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06004_008580_VENAS Lands that stretched on forever. Skies one could drown in. The heartbeat of nature, silent yet strong.
912 908 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06004_008590_VENAS And amidst it all a people. Beacons of light and life. Laughter that warmed my heart like naught else before.
913 909 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06004_008600_VENAS They are my meaning and my purpose. My love.
914 910 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06004_008610_VENAS In spite of...or perhaps because of this, I choose to believe.
915 911 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06004_008620_VENAS In mankind's potential. In his ability to find a way forward.
916 912 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06004_008630_VENAS So let there be no way back. From that temptation I sunder us.
917 913 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06004_008640_VENAS No more shall man have wings to bear him to paradise.
918 914 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06004_008650_VENAS Henceforth, he shall walk.
919 915 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06004_008660_VENAS All is excruciating pain. I breathe fire and torment.
920 916 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06004_008670_VENAS I birth a world of suffering to mire and plague.
921 917 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06004_008680_VENAS In one fleeting moment, lives come and go. Ever moving towards the unknown.

91 87 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06005_000830_JULLUS Garlemald is in ruins. Our homeland─the nation you rule!─is as good as gone.
92 88 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06005_000840_JULLUS Along with so many of its people.
93 89 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06005_000850_JULLUS Not just soldiers like us! Not only those who fought and killed for power and duty. Innocent civilians...
94 90 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06005_000860_JULLUS Murdered by their own flesh and blood. Lost and confused as they breathed their last.
95 91 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06005_000870_JULLUS While we who survived with our lives and minds intact were left to freeze to death!
96 92 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06005_000880_JULLUS The Eorzeans tell me all this was your doing. You slaughtered your countrymen. You did. For what?
97 93 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06005_000890_ZENOS For nothing, in the end. So much wasted effort.
98 94 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06005_000900_JULLUS You...
99 95 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06005_000910_JULLUS You bastard!
100 96 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06005_000920_ALPHINAUD For your own sake, Jullus, you must control your anger!
101 97 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06005_000930_ALPHINAUD It will serve no one should it consume you and see you transformed.

104 100 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06005_000960_JULLUS What?
105 101 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06005_000970_ZENOS If my motives met with your approval, would you no longer resent the outcome?
106 102 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06005_000980_ZENOS If so, then perhaps a beast's skin would suit you better.
107 103 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06005_000990_ZENOS Duty...honor...morality...all constructs of convenience, when put to proof.
108 104 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06005_001000_ZENOS Surely the war taught you how easily power becomes the tool of the self-righteous?
109 105 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06005_001010_ZENOS How the people's “justice” was merely a means to their ends?
110 106 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06005_001020_ZENOS Yet you would ask me why.
111 107 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06005_001030_ZENOS Ask any creature of this star and those above for answers, and they will tell you what suits their fancy.
112 108 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06005_001040_ZENOS And they would be right to do so. What meaning there is to be found in the petty vicissitudes of your existence must be gleaned by you and you alone.
113 109 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06005_001050_ZENOS Should you seek it in battle─in the fruitless pursuit of my demise─then come. Assume your rightful place as a notch on my blade.
114 110 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06005_001060_JULLUS You are a blight on the Garlean race, and there would be no more satisfying way to expunge it than by beating you to death.
115 111 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06005_001070_JULLUS But I will not be party to another tragedy. I refuse to lose anyone else because of you.
116 112 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06005_001080_JULLUS So go! Go, and may we never suffer your madness again.
117 113 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06005_001090_ALISAIE Zenos!
118 114 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06005_001100_ALISAIE Perhaps you've found meaning in living this way─I cannot deny you've found strength.
119 115 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06005_001110_ALISAIE Yet if you only pursue your hedonistic pleasures, and pay no heed to the plight of others, then no one will give you the time of day.
120 116 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06005_001120_ALISAIE You will never get what you want─not even the battle you pine for so dearly.
121 117 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06005_001130_ALISAIE You'll be alone for an eternity, and you'll deserve every agonizing second of it.
122 118 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06005_001140_FOURCHENAULT We are ready to depart. The refugee ships will be leaving shortly, but I've asked mine to remain for the time being.
123 119 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06005_001150_FOURCHENAULT There's room enough for you to join me on it, if you wish.
124 120 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06005_001160_FOURCHENAULT Do contain your surprise. I needn't agree with the Scions' methods or intentions to acknowledge that their deeds are deserving of gratitude.
125 121 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06005_001170_ALPHINAUD We appreciate the offer, but might I ask why you are delaying your departure? I presume it is not solely for our benefit.
126 122 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06005_001180_FOURCHENAULT I must visit Garlemald ere we return to Sharlayan. Having caused such an uproar, 'tis only meet that I explain myself to the Ilsabard contingent.
127 123 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06005_001190_ALPHINAUD Allow us to accompany you, then. We should be glad to facilitate, given our familiarity with all concerned.
128 124 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06005_001200_ALPHINAUD If you would like to join as well, Jullus, we can speak of recent events on the way.
129 125 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06005_001210_ESTINIEN He'll be after your seat on the Forum next.
130 126 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06005_001220_LUCIA No major injuries then. Good.
131 127 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06005_001230_LUCIA I briefed the recovered soldiers and sent them on their way as quickly as I could, but nevertheless feared they would not make it in time.
132 128 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06005_001240_ALPHINAUD The additional support was invaluable. Your men saved more than a few lives.
133 129 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06005_001250_ALPHINAUD ...Though not all, I regret to say.
134 130 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06005_001260_FOURCHENAULT I take it that I am addressing Lucia Junius? I am the Forum's envoy, Fourchenault Leveilleur.
135 131 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06005_001270_FOURCHENAULT And you are owed an explanation for these most dire developments.
136 132 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06005_001280_LUCIA Another trial wrought by the Final Days... I was beginning to suspect as much.
137 133 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06005_001290_LUCIA You doubtless feel some consternation having been forced to abandon your original plan─but trust me when I say you were right to send the refugees elsewhere.
138 134 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06005_001300_LUCIA Beasts have been sighted within the capital. Perhaps it was a stroke of grim fortune that the population was decimated beforehand, as they've yet to appear in any great number, but in time...
139 135 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06005_001310_LUCIA In any case, Maxima leads the remainder of the contingent in an effort to cull the creatures and evacuate the populace as we speak.
140 136 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06005_001320_LUCIA Once the airships have taken to the skies, I pray your men can be persuaded to join him.
141 137 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06005_001330_JULLUS You'll permit us to retain our weapons?
142 138 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06005_001340_LUCIA I wouldn't have sent you after the Scions were I expecting you to stab them in the back.
143 139 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06005_001350_ALPHINAUD And I, for one, would not consider past transgressions more relevant than future contributions.
144 140 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06005_001360_ALPHINAUD Regardless of the circumstances that saw us at odds before, we need men of courage now. More than ever.
145 141 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06005_001370_JULLUS We swore to defend Garlemald. And so we shall.
146 142 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06005_001380_FOURCHENAULT It seems you have everything under control. You will excuse me, then, for mine own duties await.
147 143 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06005_001390_ALPHINAUD A moment, Master Fourchenault.
148 144 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06005_001400_ALPHINAUD You did desire to express your appreciation for services rendered, did you not?
149 145 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06005_001410_FOURCHENAULT I did... Though if you intend to again ask that Sharlayan alter its course, you will find my gratitude insufficient.
150 146 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06005_001420_ALPHINAUD 'Tis nothing so onerous.
151 147 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06005_001430_ALPHINAUD I wish to hear the details of this grand endeavor of yours.
152 148 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06005_001440_FOURCHENAULT Do you swear to listen and to learn, and not to embark upon some scheme to impede us?
153 149 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06005_001450_ALPHINAUD I swear.
154 150 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06005_001460_FOURCHENAULT ...Hmph. Any other I would doubt, but you I trust to keep your word. For not once have you broken it.
155 151 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06005_001470_FOURCHENAULT Very well. I will request that the Forum make you privy to our plans. You may await our summons at the Baldesion Annex─assuming the decision is in your favor. Does that suffice?
156 152 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06005_001480_ALPHINAUD It does. You have my thanks.
157 153 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06005_001490_GRAHATIA Excellent! You can regale us with tales of your most recent sojourn to the First while we wait.
158 154 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06005_001500_GRAHATIA Did you...hear something just now?
159 155 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06005_001510_PUDDINGWAY (-???-)Pudding... Puuuddiiing...
160 156 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06005_001520_PUDDINGWAY Where, oh where, is this star's blasted pudding!?
161 157 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06005_001530_GRAHATIA Um...?
162 158 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06005_001540_URIANGER Dawn may banish even the darkest night...
163 159 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06005_001550_URIANGER And to this bitter clime bring warmth and comfort.
164 160 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06005_001560_URIANGER 'Tis heartening to see such an assembly upon my return. I thought often of you whilst I looked down upon our star's brilliance from the moon above.
165 161 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06005_001570_ALISAIE Yes, but what are you doing here? And dressed like that! Aren't you cold?
166 162 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06005_001580_URIANGER Verily. I fear for my health should I proceed to expound upon our purpose ere I procure more suitable garments...
167 163 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06005_001590_LIVINGWAY Then allow me to summarize─we're here because none of you lot are up there! Nor has anyone deigned to send word about any changes in the plans!
168 164 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06005_001600_LIVINGWAY It's rude, is what it is. Least that's what I thought at first, but then folks got to wondering if you weren't in a spot of bother, so we decided to take matters into our own hands. Come down here and help, if our help be needed.
169 165 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06005_001610_MAPPINGWAY So she says, but it's also something of a convenient excuse to visit Etheirys. Urianger made it sound absolutely marvelous. Moreso before the impending doom, but still.
170 166 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06005_001620_SINGINGWAY And it's not like there will ever be a better time! What with the aforementioned doom.
171 167 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06005_001630_PUDDINGWAY <Emphasis>Marvelous</Emphasis>, they say, yet not an onze of pudding to be found! I must suffer Urianger's inferior works no more...
172 168 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06005_001640_LIVINGWAY Hey! Maybe consider the plight of present company before you go blathering on about pudding and doom?
173 169 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06005_001650_LIVINGWAY Ahem!
174 170 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06005_001660_LIVINGWAY As I was saying─should you require any assistance with...whatever, we are at your disposal.
175 171 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06005_001670_LIVINGWAY We were born from Hydaelyn's love for the lives of this star, so naturally we would much prefer to see them continue. Twiddling our thumbs up on the moon is hardly conducive to that, though, is it?
176 172 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06005_001680_LIVINGWAY Aye, not when you've all got such precious thoughts, and feelings, and hopes for the future, deserving of more active preservation. Speaking to Urianger made us realize that while we've carried out our duties to the letter, we've failed to fulfill them in spirit.
177 173 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06005_001690_LIVINGWAY From there it was just a hop, skip, and a jump towards resolving to do better! So please, show us how. Help us help you!
178 174 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06005_001700_FOURCHENAULT Forgive me, but are they...?
179 175 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06005_001710_URIANGER Thy distant collaborators, indeed.
180 176 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06005_001720_LIVINGWAY Hail fellow well met! You'd be a member of the Forum, would you? It's an honor and a pleasure to meet you at last.
181 177 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06005_001730_LIVINGWAY I'm Livingway, Hydaelyn's right paw. That last bit is very important─as am I, if I may humbly say so myself.
182 178 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06005_001740_FOURCHENAULT I, er...bid you welcome to our star, Livingway. On behalf of the Forum, I thank you for traveling such a distance to meet us.
183 179 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06005_001750_FOURCHENAULT As you have surmised, preparations for the exodus have not proceeded as smoothly as we had hoped. I should be happy to personally escort you to our headquarters in Sharlayan, where you may advise us as you deem fit.
184 180 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06005_001760_URIANGER 'Twas with reluctance that I set aside the great work of readying the moon for habitation. Be assured that I did so only after the Loporrits made plain their earnest desire to come hither, and I myself felt a growing certainty that their contributions here would prove invaluable.
185 181 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06005_001770_URIANGER 'Tis trite, perhaps, but...I followed my heart.
186 182 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06005_Q2_000_001_NONE_VOICE What will you say?
187 183 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06005_A2_000_001_NONE_VOICE Good to haveth you back!
188 184 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06005_A2_000_002_NONE_VOICE May thy disciples banish this darkest of nights.
189 185 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06005_001780_URIANGER For a time, at least. Nevertheless, 'twas worth the journey to find present company well.
190 186 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06005_001790_URIANGER Report if displayed.
191 187 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06005_001800_URIANGER I am no esteemed philosopher of eld. Nevertheless, 'tis my hope that what little knowledge I shared shall serve them well, and perchance help save us all.
192 188 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06005_001810_URIANGER Wilt thou attend us at the Forum, and lend thine own wisdom?
193 189 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06005_001820_ALISAIE If that's all quite settled, can we start moving before Urianger catches his death? Even I'm freezing out here.
194 190 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06005_001830_GRAHATIA Oh, I daresay you'll warm up quickly once you're aboard the airship, sat shoulder to shoulder with our fur-covered friends.
195 191 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06005_001840_ALPHINAUD There is a matter I wish to raise with you before we enter.
196 192 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06005_001850_ALPHINAUD We are here to listen and to learn─but if the Forum's plans are more or less what I expect, then I should like to make a proposal that will serve our ends...
197 193 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06005_001860_ALPHINAUD By your leave, of course.
198 194 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06005_001870_ALISAIE I don't see why not. Your words and wits have gotten us this far.
199 195 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06005_001880_KRILE Agreed. I will present our queries so that you may consider the most advantageous way to advance your proposal without distraction.
200 196 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06005_001890_ALPHINAUD Thank you, everyone.
201 197 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06005_001900_BARNIER If I may have your attention─the ad hoc session will now commence.
202 198 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06005_001910_BARNIER The purpose of today's assembly is to brief the Scions of the Seventh Dawn, at their request, on the great exodus.
203 199 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06005_001920_BARNIER You may enter.
204 200 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06005_001930_BARNIER On behalf of the Forum, I commend your heroic actions on the Magna Glacies. We shall not soon forget your service to us and the people of Radz-at-Han.
205 201 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06005_001940_BARNIER The satrap, whom we have informed of the refugees' new arrangements, sings your praises as well.
206 202 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06005_001950_BARNIER As an expression of our gratitude, we will endeavor to answer your questions as fully and openly as we are able.
207 203 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06005_001960_KRILE Then let us begin.
208 204 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06005_001970_KRILE First─it is the Forum's objective to ferry the life and knowledge of this star to the moon. Am I correct?
209 205 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06005_001980_FOURCHENAULT You are. It is for this purpose that Sharlayan has labored these many long years.
210 206 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06005_001990_FOURCHENAULT We have collected biological samples and scientific records from across the star. When the time comes, they will be moved from their places in Labyrinthos and Noumenon and conveyed to safety.
211 207 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06005_002000_FOURCHENAULT Once that critical task has been accomplished, we will begin transporting the Sharlayan citizenry, which has been categorized into groups. The earliest arrivals are to ensure hospitable environs for those who come after.
212 208 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06005_002010_FOURCHENAULT Following our people, we will send those of other nations in turn, beginning with our allies.
213 209 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06005_002020_FOURCHENAULT Radz-at-Han was foremost among these, but since the Final Days have already come to Thavnair, we saw fit to include the refugees with earlier groupings.
214 210 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06005_002030_YSHTOLA An ambitious plan. You have accounted for the safety of all nations and tribes, then?
215 211 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06005_002040_FOURCHENAULT ...As many as we can.
216 212 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06005_002050_YSHTOLA And how, pray tell, do you decide who to leave behind?
217 213 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06005_002060_FOURCHENAULT To journey beyond the sky is an unprecedented and immeasurably difficult endeavor. Introducing sources of inevitable conflict would condemn all to certain death.
218 214 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06005_002070_KRILE Questions as to the validity of that approach aside...
219 215 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06005_002080_KRILE Are your plans proceeding apace? We're under the impression that your primary means of celestial transportation is incomplete.
220 216 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06005_002090_FOURCHENAULT If only in that it does not meet our optimal parameters, that is correct.
221 217 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06005_002100_FOURCHENAULT This ark, as some have taken to calling it, is fully operational and could be launched even today.
222 218 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06005_002110_FOURCHENAULT However, the Final Days have progressed more quickly than we anticipated.
223 219 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06005_002120_FOURCHENAULT At present, the ship is incapable of attaining speeds sufficient to meet our evacuation targets.
224 220 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06005_002130_FOURCHENAULT Should we put the vessel into service as it is now, we will be unable to travel to the moon and back quickly enough to complete the necessary number of trips. Precious lives and knowledge will be lost.
225 221 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06005_002140_ALISAIE Seven hells... Is there anything to be done?
226 222 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06005_002150_FOURCHENAULT The aetherburner─the primary means of propulsion once the craft is in the space between stars─is undergoing testing to determine whether it can be made more efficient.
227 223 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06005_002160_FOURCHENAULT Though cargo is being loaded for the initial phase of the exodus, we are prepared to continue our experimentation up to the day before launch should it prove necessary.
228 224 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06005_002170_ALPHINAUD What if the Scions were to solve your problem?
229 225 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06005_002180_ALPHINAUD We shall help devise a means to improve the aetherburner's efficiency─on two conditions.
230 226 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06005_002190_ALPHINAUD If we succeed, you must allow us to meet with Hydaelyn.
231 227 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06005_002200_YSHTOLA 'Twas simple enough to deduce. You have a concord, and so you would never have abandoned the Antitower had you no other means of communication.
232 228 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06005_002210_YSHTOLA One far more convenient, I suspect.
233 229 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06005_002220_ALPHINAUD The second condition, also to be met upon our success, is that we be permitted to propose another use for your ark.
234 230 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06005_002230_FOURCHENAULT We would be at liberty to refuse this proposal?
235 231 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06005_002240_ALPHINAUD Of course. If we cannot prove its merit to the ninety-nine here, who are we to stake on it the lives of all peoples of this star?
236 232 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06005_002250_MONTICHAIGNE Hahaha! Delightful as always, Master Alphinaud!
237 233 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06005_002255_MONTICHAIGNE Report if displayed.
238 234 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06005_002260_MONTICHAIGNE We couldn't have asked for a finer plan. “Allow us to solve this complex engineering problem of which we were entirely unaware until moments ago. What could possibly go wrong?” Haha! The satire writes itself!
239 235 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06005_002265_MONTICHAIGNE Report if displayed.
240 236 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06005_002270_MONTICHAIGNE Yet what field has not benefited from a change in perspective? When we are at wits' end, what we need is not the same dry theories recited ad nauseam, but fresh inspiration.
241 237 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06005_002280_MONTICHAIGNE I, for one, have faith in my erstwhile students to provide it. And I find their terms to be perfectly acceptable.
242 238 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06005_002290_BARNIER Order! Order! We have no time to waste on debate. I call a vote.
243 239 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06005_002300_BARNIER All in favor of agreeing to the Scions' terms?
244 240 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06005_002310_BARNIER Seventy-one in favor, twenty-eight against. The ayes have it.
245 241 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06005_002320_BARNIER Fourchenault, as the architect of this project, you are the best candidate to show them its current state. ...And bear in mind that, regardless of your personal misgivings, this is the will of the Forum.
246 242 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06005_002330_FOURCHENAULT Very well.
247 243 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06005_002340_BARNIER I call this session to a close. Return to your tasks with urgency─the Final Days wait for none.
248 244 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06005_002350_KOKKOLDANKKOL I could swap 'em out... No─been there, done that, damn near lost me eyebrows...
249 245 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06005_002360_KOKKOLDANKKOL Think, Kokkol, think! We'd be well on our way to paradise, visionaries pattin' themselves on the backs for their grand accomplishments if you'd only <Emphasis>think</Emphasis>!
250 246 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06005_002370_FOURCHENAULT Yes... That does sound rather lovely...
251 247 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06005_002380_KOKKOLDANKKOL Gyaaah! ...I mean, Master Fourchenault, what a pleasant surprise! We're not blastin' off already, are we!?
252 248 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06005_002390_FOURCHENAULT The schedule remains unchanged. For better or worse...
253 249 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06005_002400_FOURCHENAULT Which is why the Forum has elected to accept assistance in resolving the aetherburner conundrum.
254 250 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06005_002410_KOKKOLDANKKOL Huh. Not seen you lot down here before.
255 251 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06005_002420_FOURCHENAULT There are Archons among their number, but engineering is not their expertise. Nevertheless, the Forum concedes the slim possibility that they may have insights to offer. If not, you are at liberty to return them to the surface...by whatever means you see fit.
256 252 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06005_002430_ALPHINAUD I assure you that won't be necessary. Now, about your troubles with the aetherburner...?
257 253 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06005_002440_KOKKOLDANKKOL Aye, aye, I'll walk you through it. S'pose I could do with a change of pace.
258 254 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06005_002450_KOKKOLDANKKOL As the name ought to tell you, the aetherburner “burns” aether─ambient or otherwise─and transforms it into motive force. Think of it like a giant bomb that never stops explodin'.
259 255 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06005_002460_KOKKOLDANKKOL Even out in that black void where the aether's right sparse, it's strong enough to move our ark. And it probably won't kill you like an actual bomb!
260 256 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06005_002470_KOKKOLDANKKOL ...But it ain't perfect.
261 257 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06005_002480_KOKKOLDANKKOL Accordin' to my calculations, to travel to the moon and back fast enough for the Forum's likin', the conversion rate needs to be six percent more efficient.
262 258 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06005_002490_KOKKOLDANKKOL “A measly six percent,” you say, but if I could've squeezed even another “point six” out of it, don't you think I'd've built it that way in the first place!?
263 259 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06005_002500_URIANGER Hast thou consulted with the Loporrits?
264 260 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06005_002510_FOURCHENAULT Yes. They too are conducting their own research, for lack of a ready answer.
265 261 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06005_002520_FOURCHENAULT The moon's propulsion systems are considerable, naturally, yet they are commensurately massive.
266 262 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06005_002530_FOURCHENAULT It is no easy feat to convert their technology into an efficient means of propulsion for a “teeny-tiny toy boat,” as they say─and as I most certainly do not.
267 263 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06005_002540_KOKKOLDANKKOL Yes, exactly! Damn it all, I ask for refined adamantite and they send me uppity rabbits with inscrutable, ancient, incompatible technology... You tryin' to drive me mad?
268 264 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06005_002550_GRAHATIA Do you speak of <Emphasis>Allagan</Emphasis>-refined adamantite, perchance?
269 265 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06005_002560_YSHTOLA You know of it?
270 266 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06005_002570_GRAHATIA Only in the most general terms, I'm afraid. 'Twas an alloy of Allagan make, but the secrets of its production were closely guarded.
271 267 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06005_002580_GRAHATIA As I recall, the records stated it was vital to Dalamud's construction and launch.
272 268 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06005_002590_KOKKOLDANKKOL Aye, that's the stuff! No material more conductive far as I know. Slottin' some in's like blowing up a dam and watching the river of aether come rushing through!
273 269 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06005_002600_KOKKOLDANKKOL Ain't a living soul that knows how to make it, though.
274 270 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06005_002610_KOKKOLDANKKOL We were fortunate enough to salvage some for the aetherburner─just a wee bit, mind─from a chunk of Dalamud that came hurtlin' into the Northern Empty during the Calamity.
275 271 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06005_002620_KOKKOLDANKKOL With more...well, that extra six percent efficiency would be child's play. It's a cryin' shame that we've no other sources.
276 272 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06005_002630_ALISAIE Surely the many shards of Dalamud scattered throughout Eorzea would suffice. Why not get the refined adamantite from them?
277 273 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06005_002640_KOKKOLDANKKOL Oh we tried, believe you me. But only a few specialized pieces would've had any in 'em to begin with.
278 274 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06005_002650_KOKKOLDANKKOL Drive cores from Ragnarok-class internment hulks─those are the prize bits we really need.
279 275 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06005_002660_KOKKOLDANKKOL But accordin' to the gleaners, gettin' to 'em means delvin' deep into the shards─and the defenses are still very operational and very eager to blow 'em up.
280 276 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06005_002670_KOKKOLDANKKOL It's rough goin' in there, even for the cream. Not sure they'd make it out alive...
281 277 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06005_002680_ALISAIE ...Weren't we near that part of the <Emphasis>Ragnarok</Emphasis> when we went to destroy Bahamut?
282 278 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06005_Q3_000_001_NONE_VOICE What will you say?
283 279 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06005_A3_000_001_NONE_VOICE You want me to go and fetch the wotsits?
284 280 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06005_A3_000_002_NONE_VOICE The White Raven's ghost...it haunts me...
285 281 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06005_A3_000_003_NONE_VOICE This sounds like a job for someone else.
286 282 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06005_002690_ALISAIE That may be for the best...though you'd doubtless find the task too dull for your liking.
287 283 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06005_002700_ALISAIE Heavens, are you alright? You look pale as a...well!
288 284 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06005_002710_ALISAIE Best put that battle from your mind for now. Deep breaths, that's it...
289 285 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06005_002720_ALISAIE Oh, very funny. Hah hah.
290 286 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06005_002730_ALPHINAUD Hmm... There are multiple internment hulks in Eorzea alone, so handling this ourselves may not be the most efficient option.
291 287 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06005_002740_ALPHINAUD Rather, if we could salvage adamantite from the shards simultaneously...
292 288 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06005_002750_ALPHINAUD Thancred, is the linkshell we established before you went to Garlemald still active?
293 289 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06005_002760_THANCRED Of course. The floor is yours.
294 290 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06005_002770_FOURCHENAULT What's all this?
295 291 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06005_002780_ALPHINAUD Gathering firewood, so to speak. We alone can accomplish little, but joined by others, we may yet build a bonfire to carry us heavensward.
296 292 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06005_002790_ALPHINAUD This is Alphinaud. The Scions have need of you.
297 293 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06005_002800_LUCIA (-Lucia-)Understood. I will contact the Lord Commander and dispatch our finest at once.
298 294 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06005_002810_ARUHNSENNA (-A-Ruhn-Senna-)My sisters are somewhat preoccupied with the Final Days─so I will lead the Twelveswood expedition myself.
299 295 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06005_002820_YSHTOLA Are you aware of any other sources of refined adamantite?
300 296 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06005_002830_GRAHATIA Logically, such an invaluable alloy would have been utilized solely where absolutely necessary─in components intended to conduct or collect surpassing amounts of aether.
301 297 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06005_002840_GRAHATIA Any extant instrumentation or devices would have likely found their way into the hands of aetherologists or...enthusiasts.
302 298 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06005_002850_CIRINA (-Cirina-)Magical artifacts of Allagan design? The Eastern alliance will send word to one and all.
303 299 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06005_002860_CIRINA (-Cirina-)Are there other ways we may offer aid? No shards of the lesser moon scar our soil, but our stake in this cause is no less for it...
304 300 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06005_002870_ALPHINAUD Is there anything in Othard that might be of use to you?
305 301 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06005_002880_KOKKOLDANKKOL Othard, you say!? You've got friends in far places, lad!
306 302 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06005_002890_KOKKOLDANKKOL Anyroad, if you're offerin', I wouldn't say “no” to one of those Far Eastern sacred relics.
307 303 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06005_002900_KOKKOLDANKKOL Some of them can hold enough aether to summon a whole damn primal. Combine a source like that with the aetherburner and three...two...one...kaboom!
308 304 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06005_002910_ALPHINAUD ...I gather you heard his explosive enthusiasm. Might you secure us a suitable relic?
309 305 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06005_002920_CIRINA (-Cirina-)It shall be done! I know little of machines, but I promise we will do our utmost to gather the materials you need to finish your starship.
310 306 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06005_002930_CIRINA (-Cirina-)I am glad for the work, in truth. Better to busy oneself than wait and fret over disasters foretold.
311 307 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06005_002940_SICARD (-Sicard-)Then why're we all still standin' about yappin'? There's plunder for the takin'─an' I'm a born plunderer!
312 308 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06005_002950_SICARD (-Sicard-)I'll be in Ol' Sharlayan before you know it. Start mixing the grog!
313 309 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06005_002960_ALPHINAUD I'm certain that can be arranged. Thank you all─and do be careful.
314 310 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06005_002970_ALISAIE Just like that!
315 311 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06005_002980_ALPHINAUD Aye, just like that, our refined adamantite is on its way.
316 312 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06005_002990_ALPHINAUD Now let us consider our next steps, shall we? There's yet much to be done.
317 313 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06005_003000_SYSTEM_NONE_VOICE Meanwhile, in Ul'dah...
318 314 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06005_003010_NANAMOULNAMO ...Our course of action is clear. We must harvest refined adamantite from the shards of Dalamud, and procure arcane relics of Allagan make.
319 315 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06005_003020_NANAMOULNAMO Summon the best and brightest of our Immortal Flames, and form an expeditionary party at once! Call upon the Sultansworn and Brass Blades for support as you must.
320 316 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06005_003030_NANAMOULNAMO Papashan, send word to the guilds. We will require the expertise of master artisans if we are to have any hope of identifying and recovering these elusive materials.
321 317 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06005_003040_NANAMOULNAMO Fyrgeiss, we have need of your Stone Torches.
322 318 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06005_003050_NANAMOULNAMO They are to assist the Immortal Flames in scouring the ruins, and to help secure the surrounding areas. I trust I can count on your support?
323 319 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06005_003060_FYRGEISS As commander of the Stone Torches, my son Zimberk will personally see it done.
324 320 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06005_003070_NANAMOULNAMO Pipin. I would have you lead the raiding party. Assemble your finest, and with Tizona's blade clear the way.
325 321 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06005_003080_NANAMOULNAMO Lord Lolorito, I pray you take charge of the search for Allagan relics. Surely you know of some being traded on open or clandestine markets, or sleeping in collectors' vaults.
326 322 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06005_003090_NANAMOULNAMO Of course, I ask not that you do this out of the kindness of your heart. By all means, profit on the transactions. I wish you the joy of it.
327 323 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06005_003100_NANAMOULNAMO The Final Days descend upon our world. If circumstances are truly as dire as they say, Ul'dah's best efforts may be for naught.
328 324 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06005_003110_NANAMOULNAMO And yet, when we Eorzeans rose from the ashes to rebuild our broken realm, did we not learn one simple truth?
329 325 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06005_003120_NANAMOULNAMO That which seems all but impossible to overcome alone, may yet be possible if we stand together.
330 326 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06005_003130_NANAMOULNAMO It was the Scions who united us then, and it is the Scions who call upon us now.
331 327 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06005_003140_NANAMOULNAMO Ul'dah will answer that call. We will summon our courage, and join the fight for our world's future.
332 328 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06005_003150_NANAMOULNAMO You know your duties! I, Nanamo Ul Namo, seventeenth in the line of Ul, bid you good luck and godsspeed!
333 329 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06005_003160_SYSTEM_NONE_VOICE Meanwhile, in the Black Shroud...
334 330 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06005_003170_ARUHNSENNA We've fielded a goodly number, but our ranks are heavy with healers. And an abundance of restorative magicks will be of little help in destroying Dalamud's defenses.
335 331 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06005_003180_ARUHNSENNA Still, it has ever been thus with Gridania. We must steel ourselves for a protracted engagement...
336 332 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06005_003190_LYSE (-???-)In that case, might I suggest taking us along?
337 333 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06005_003200_ARUHNSENNA Commander Hext!? What are you doing here?
338 334 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06005_003210_LYSE None of the shards in Gyr Abania are big enough to hold an internment hulk.
339 335 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06005_003220_LYSE So we said to ourselves─why not lend our neighbors a hand? We thought you might be short on people with a talent for breaking things.
340 336 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06005_003230_ARUHNSENNA While it pains me to admit it...you are right. Are our deficiencies so plain to see?
341 337 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06005_003240_LYSE It might've been a lifetime ago, but I was once one of the Scions assigned to the Shroud.
342 338 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06005_003250_LYSE I know this forest well. I know your people. And I know we will be stronger if we fight this fight together.
343 339 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06005_003260_ARUHNSENNA Then I will impose upon you with a clear conscience. Come, let us speak of how to integrate our forces.
344 340 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06005_003270_LYSE I won't let it all be for nothing. I promise you, Papalymo...
345 341 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06005_003280_SYSTEM_NONE_VOICE Meanwhile, in Coerthas...

347 343 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06005_003300_EMMANELLAIN We've no time to waste, Brother! Everyone has already... Ah.
348 344 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06005_003310_EMMANELLAIN That...that was a roar. A dragon's roar!
349 345 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06005_003320_SYSTEM_NONE_VOICE Meanwhile, in the Ruby Sea...
350 346 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06005_003330_HANCOCK ...And so, in summation, the Eastern alliance, as well as the honorable Lord Lolorito himself, reached out to me for assistance in procuring these treasures of the divine─and I, in turn, do beseech the Confederacy for aid.
351 347 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06005_003340_HANCOCK Hm? Is that...?
352 348 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06005_003350_SOROBAN Hancock? What a surprise this is!
353 349 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06005_003360_SOROBAN And a fortuitous one at that. I have a favor to ask, you see...
354 350 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06005_003370_LIVINGWAY Phew! Finally, some rest. Why, I haven't spoken so much in...well, in forever!
355 351 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06005_003380_THANCRED Lively, isn't it? The town is abuzz─everyone eager to meet with our friends from the moon.
356 352 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06005_003390_URIANGER 'Twould behoove you to consult with Sleepingway. As our moon's pilot, his advice should be most pertinent...
357 353 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06005_003400_THANCRED I'm impressed. Truth be told, I struggle to tell one from another. No offense intended, of course...
358 354 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06005_003410_LIVINGWAY None taken! After you and your friends left Mare Lamentorum, we spent no small amount of time with your Urianger.
359 355 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06005_003420_LIVINGWAY Oh, the conversations we had! He told us all about Etheirys─answered our every question, no matter how trifling or trivial.
360 356 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06005_003430_LIVINGWAY Look! Every page, filled to the margins with knowledge!
361 357 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06005_003440_LIVINGWAY When I first arrived, I was struck by how little I knew. It was daunting...but then I realized that were it not for Urianger and his teachings, we'd still be stuck on the moon. Gazing at your world and wondering what we've been missing...

363 359 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06005_003460_THANCRED What would they think if they could see Urianger now? I daresay they'd be more than a bit surprised...and impressed, no doubt.

365 361 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06005_003480_WILFSUNN Ho there! Heard there was a visiting expert who we might bother with a few questions. I take it you'd be the one?

369 365 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06005_003520_WILFSUNN Likewise, old friend! Bloewyda and I were most honored to answer the call. Never expected this reunion, though, did we, dear?
370 366 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06005_003530_BLOEWYDA I'll say! The nerve...sending that letter, then running off to the gods know where!
371 367 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06005_003540_BLOEWYDA Do you have...any idea...how worried we were?

375 371 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06005_003580_WILFSUNN Our daughter was disillusioned after Master Louisoix left her behind. The day the Scions called upon her was the happiest I'd seen her in years.
376 372 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06005_003590_WILFSUNN She made her every choice of her own free will. No one could've ever forced her to do otherwise.
377 373 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06005_003600_WILFSUNN Don't blame yourself for her death. Celebrate her life. You know that's what she'd want.
378 374 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06005_003610_BLOEWYDA If there is one thing we resent you for, it was that we could not be there to mourn her with you...
379 375 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06005_003620_BLOEWYDA Reading the words you penned in that shaky hand... We must have cried as much for you as we did for her.
380 376 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06005_003630_URIANGER I'm sorry. I truly, truly am...
381 377 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06005_003640_URIANGER I knew not what to say. Knew not how to express my feelings...
382 378 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06005_003650_URIANGER The poems and platitudes of wiser men. Musings on sadness and loss... Studied and memorized...and meaningless in the moment.
383 379 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06005_003660_BLOEWYDA Silly boy... We are all powerless before such grief. Even now, try as I might, the words escape me...
384 380 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06005_003670_BLOEWYDA But in our hearts, we know. We always know.
385 381 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06005_003680_WILFSUNN I remember when you were young. How the lads teased you for choosing the company of books over others.
386 382 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06005_003690_WILFSUNN Our Moen didn't take kindly to that. “Be nice to Urianger!” she'd shout, and give them a walloping. No matter how many times we scolded her...
387 383 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06005_003700_BLOEWYDA So we offered a suggestion: rather than starting fights, why don't you be the bridge between Urianger and the others? She had to mull it over for a while. Arms crossed, brow furrowed in intense thought...

389 385 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06005_003720_BLOEWYDA I'm sure it was annoying and exhausting at the time...but she only ever had the best of intentions.
390 386 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06005_003730_WILFSUNN And look at you now. At the center of the crowd─the reason there even is a crowd, having brought these people together.
391 387 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06005_003740_WILFSUNN You've no idea how proud we are.

398 394 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06005_003810_THANCRED ...You could ask the man himself.
399 395 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06005_003820_LIVINGWAY Oh no, no. But watching this exchange reminds me how much I've yet to learn about your world...and its people.
400 396 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06005_003830_THANCRED You can live here your entire life and hardly learn a thing.
401 397 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06005_003840_THANCRED That's why...it's too soon for this to end.
402 398 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06005_003850_YSHTOLA All set, I take it?
403 399 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06005_003860_ESTINIEN We've finished what we could. Delivered supplies, tracked down escaped animals...trivial tasks as they may be.
404 400 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06005_003870_ALISAIE That's enough, don't you think? If there was anything more important still undone, that would be a problem in itself.
405 401 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06005_003880_GRAHATIA The vessel is essentially ready for departure. All that remains is to load the final batch of supplies and see everyone on board. Once we've readied the aetherburner, that is...

407 403 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06005_003900_URIANGER Our consultations with the Loporrits, too, have run their course. Pleased I am to say that our researchers' concerns have for the most part been allayed, though some insist on making adjustments to the very end.
408 404 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06005_003910_URIANGER For their part, Livingway and her peers have graciously offered to stay and keep the people company, lest any lingering queries go unanswered.

420 416 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06005_004030_SICARD And more on the way. Got your adamantite right here─a bigger haul than any o' these sorry bastards brought, and that's no lie!
421 417 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06005_004040_EMMANELLAIN Yes, because you were charged with seeing the shipments from Gridania and Ul'dah here along with your own. Give credit where credit is due.
422 418 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06005_004050_SICARD Sounds like the sorry whingin' of a sore loser─an' a hypocrite to boot. Ain't no way a scrawny whelp like you took a dozen steps inside a Dalamud shard.

424 420 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06005_004070_EMMANELLAIN I'll have you know I went all the way to the entrance! I played a vital role in keeping a lookout whilst our expeditionary forces secured the adamantite.
425 421 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06005_004080_SICARD Left you outside so you wouldn't get anyone killed, did they? Well then, credit where credit's due─you did a right fine job sittin' on your arse!

431 427 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06005_004140_HANCOCK We come bearing relics both sacred and Allagan─as well as a few other gifts that may be of help─to be presented with best wishes from the Eastern alliance.
432 428 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06005_004150_HANCOCK Our friends in Bozja, for instance, have sent along a few artifacts for the “brave allies of the Resistance.” That's you!
433 429 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06005_004160_HANCOCK And we've brought a number of items from Eureka as well, courtesy of one Ejika Tsunjika! He says, “A little advance warning would have been appreciated,” by the by.
434 430 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06005_004170_HANCOCK And we've brought a number of items from Eureka as well, courtesy of our hardworking expedition members!
435 431 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06005_004180_SOROBAN I myself have come with a sacred relic of Reisen Temple. 'Twas passing fortunate that Senri's dango craving brought us to Kugane─we arrived precisely as Hancock was making his arrangements.
436 432 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06005_004190_SOROBAN Upon learning of your need, we made haste back to Hells' Lid─with our dango, never fear─and consulted with the other auspices. All consented to the lending of Tenzen's legendary Phoenix Blade for this noble cause.
437 433 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06005_004200_SOROBAN Suzaku and Seiryu were nevertheless worried that it might be lost in transit, however, and insisted upon accompanying me to Onokoro, where I had intended to entrust it to our Confederate allies.
438 434 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06005_004210_SOROBAN I thought instead to give it over to Hancock when we chanced to cross paths yet again, but alas, Seiryu remained ill at ease, and ordered me see the blade into your hands personally “or die trying”...
439 435 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06005_004220_SOROBAN I myself have come with a sacred relic of the Kojin. Upon learning of your need, Bunchin bade me deliver it on behalf of the Blue with all haste.
440 436 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06005_004230_SOROBAN Fearing I could not swim here with the necessary speed, however, I thought to beg our Confederate allies for aid. To my delight, Hancock was already preparing for departure at the selfsame port, and had space for additional cargo.
441 437 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06005_004240_HANCOCK We did, of course, need quite the impressive vessel to get it all here in time.
442 438 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06005_004250_HANCOCK Fortunately, our Majestic associates have been more than helpful. “'Tis an honor to join the Warrior of Light on another adventure,” they tell me!
443 439 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06005_004260_ALPHINAUD That is all wonderful to hear, but what of the extraordinary cost? I shudder to think of the ransom we must pay for such a bounty...
444 440 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06005_004270_HANCOCK Fret not for your coinpurse, young Alphinaud!
445 441 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06005_004280_HANCOCK Lord Lolorito looks ever towards the profits of the future, and thus the East Aldenard Trading Company went to some lengths to reduce the financial liability.
446 442 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06005_004290_HANCOCK And since the Scions funded the entire venture, not a gil need be rendered up in compensation. Everything is already yours!
447 443 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06005_004300_ALPHINAUD We funded the venture? When...?
448 444 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06005_004310_TATARU (-???-)Muahahaha!
449 445 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06005_004320_TATARU (-???-)Don't let the name fool you─this <Emphasis>coinkeeper</Emphasis> knows a thing or two about spending.
450 446 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06005_004330_TATARU When it comes to capital investiture, a sprinkling of gil here and there will not do! You need enough savings to make waves when it really counts...which is why frugality is paramount.
451 447 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06005_004340_TATARU We also had the benefit of a generous patron─“generous” being rather an understatement...
452 448 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06005_004350_TATARU She has supported us from the shadows since the very founding of the Scions, ere we even had coffers to fill...
453 449 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06005_004360_ALISAIE Mother!?

455 451 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06005_004380_AMELIANCE I remain, of course, an entirely neutral party. I simply thought our family's coffers were needlessly full.
456 452 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06005_004390_AMELIANCE We can hardly take them with us on your “teeny-tiny toy boat,” now, can we? And 'twould be a shame to leave all that hard-earned wealth unspent.

458 454 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06005_004410_TATARU Waste not!
459 455 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06005_004420_THANCRED How ever did you manage so much in so short a time, though? We expected word to reach only a fraction of our allies...
460 456 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06005_004430_KRILE Did I not tell you I have my ways?
461 457 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06005_004440_ALISAIE Erenville!? You were involved, too?
462 458 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06005_004450_ERENVILLE I received a letter from Krile after we parted ways in Labyrinthos.
463 459 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06005_004460_ERENVILLE She explained what the Scions were trying to accomplish, and why you might soon require the services of the gleaners, spread across the world as we are.
464 460 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06005_004470_ERENVILLE I pray you do not interpret this as a betrayal of Sharlayan. I accept that the Forum's aim in pushing us to our limits was to preserve what knowledge we have, and I bear you no ill will for it.
465 461 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06005_004480_ERENVILLE Yet, in collecting that knowledge, what I came to appreciate most about our star is that there remains so much we do not know.
466 462 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06005_004490_ERENVILLE That is why I chose to help the Scions─to combat the obliteration of those countless undiscovered wonders. I held no illusions that they would be less demanding taskmasters...though rest assured, if I had, I would have been sorely disappointed.
467 463 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06005_004500_ERENVILLE To make a long story short─the whole of the guildship cooperated to ensure your call was heard far and wide.
468 464 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06005_004510_CID What's this about a ship that can fly to the moon?
469 465 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06005_004520_CID And why didn't you mention it sooner? The one time you don't beg my aid, your problem's a bloody ship that can fly to the moon!
470 466 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06005_004530_GRAHATIA Cid! You brought the team!
471 467 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06005_004540_CID Of course! Garlond Ironworks' finest. You need only point us towards my new favorite ship...
472 468 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06005_004550_CID Oh, I nearly forgot. We stopped by Werlyt before coming here and picked up a package from Gaius.
473 469 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06005_004560_CID He's still of the mind that actions make for better penance than words─contrite or otherwise─so he offered none of the latter.
474 470 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06005_004570_CID What he sent is an Allagan relic Valens used in his Weapons experiments─has a fair bit of refined adamantite in it, too.
475 471 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06005_004580_HOARYBOULDER As you like as not suspect, we've also brought adamantite from Mor Dhona's Dalamud shard.
476 472 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06005_004590_HOARYBOULDER I admit to some consternation upon first receiving Krile's message. So few Scions remain at the Rising Stones now─far too few for such an expedition.
477 473 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06005_004600_HOARYBOULDER However, the gleaners were able to secure us reinforcements, Idyllshire's treasure hunters not least among them.
478 474 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06005_004610_HOARYBOULDER And ho, how the gobbieflock fought!
479 475 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06005_004620_HOARYBOULDER Slowfix's gratitude for the safe return of his daughter has not waned, and he gathered his kin to our side with an astounding quickness.
480 476 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06005_004630_HOARYBOULDER The clash between their machina and the Allagan defenses was a sight to behold. I wager even you would have been impressed by the magnitude of the gobbiebooms!
481 477 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06005_004640_ESTINIEN Fascinating as all this is, I fail to see how it explains your presence here. Does Radz-at-Han not have more pressing concerns?
482 478 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06005_004650_VARSHAHN We do─yet averting the Final Days would be the most expedient solution. That, and I am indebted to you.
483 479 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06005_004660_VARSHAHN Though they chose to take their leave of Thavnair, those you saved in Garlemald remain my people. My gratitude is beyond words.
484 480 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06005_004670_VARSHAHN 'Tis appropriate that I aid you in kind. If in the doing we bring salvation to others of this star, so much the better.
485 481 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06005_004680_VARSHAHN You will recall that I spoke of my father, Midgardsormr, and his journey across the great expanse.
486 482 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06005_004690_VARSHAHN As he traveled betwixt the stars, his resplendent scales drank of the aether in those nigh-empty surrounds, and imparted to him the strength to persevere...
487 483 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06005_004700_VARSHAHN Thinking they might further your cause, I called out to my kin for consent.
488 484 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06005_004710_VARSHAHN Azdaja's answer was silence, as ever.
489 485 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06005_004720_VARSHAHN Tiamat and Hraesvelgr, however, responded favorably to the suggestion.
490 486 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06005_004730_VARSHAHN My sire, too, stirred from his slumber long enough to speak and say, “Very well...”
491 487 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06005_004740_VARSHAHN My sire, too, gave his assent.
492 488 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06005_004750_VARSHAHN Thus have I brought you his own wyrmscales. Fit them to your purpose, and seek a worthier fate for us all.
493 489 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06005_004760_NIDHANA You'd be hard-pressed to find someone else so familiar with the unique properties of dragon scales, so I invited myself along.
494 490 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06005_004770_KOKKOLDANKKOL Bugger me, this is so unbelievable I've gone right back round to believin' it again!
495 491 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06005_004780_KOKKOLDANKKOL Forget a six percent gain in efficiency. With all these goodies, we could get seven─no, ten─no! <Emphasis>Fourteen</Emphasis> bleedin' percent!
496 492 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06005_004790_KOKKOLDANKKOL Think of how far we could go─what we could do with that much power! What we could blow up!
497 493 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06005_004800_BARNIER If Kokkol is duly convinced, then it must be true─in which case, the Scions' end of the bargain has been fulfilled. Would you not agree?
498 494 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06005_004810_ALISAIE Yes, Father?
499 495 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06005_004820_FOURCHENAULT I know not what you seek of Hydaelyn, nor for what purpose you would take command of our ship.
500 496 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06005_004830_FOURCHENAULT Yet this much is certain─to do so will be to dictate the fate of this star and the lives upon it.
501 497 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06005_004840_FOURCHENAULT The lives of each and every creature. In their magnitude and their fragility.
502 498 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06005_004850_FOURCHENAULT Do you understand, and are you prepared?
503 499 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06005_004860_ALPHINAUD We have seen and we have felt how much each life shapes this world. And so we are determined to abandon none. We understand what is at stake, and we are prepared to bear this burden.

507 503 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06005_004900_FOURCHENAULT You grasped my fingers with such tiny hands the day you were born. I thought my heart might burst.
508 504 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06005_004910_FOURCHENAULT 'Twas love and happiness beyond expression. Overwhelming. And a conviction so powerful that I trembled with something close to rage.
509 505 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06005_004920_FOURCHENAULT I had heard the Final Days foretold. I swore to myself then and there that I would not let them steal your futures.
510 506 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06005_004930_FOURCHENAULT The great exodus would succeed. Must succeed. No sacrifice or sin was worse than the alternative.
511 507 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06005_004940_FOURCHENAULT If anything gave me pause...'twas mine own father.
512 508 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06005_004950_FOURCHENAULT The Archon Louisoix openly decried Sharlayan's policies, a perspective which I regarded with increasing disdain as I grew older.
513 509 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06005_004960_FOURCHENAULT Yet even as part of me thought him a fool... Perhaps I also hoped that he, of all people, would devise a brilliant means to save my children.
514 510 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06005_004970_FOURCHENAULT A naive hope─but stubborn enough that I could never bring myself to keep you apart.
515 511 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06005_004980_FOURCHENAULT No, that was his doing, when he perished at Carteneau.
516 512 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06005_004990_FOURCHENAULT As we pulled that twisted slab of Dalamud from the sea, I remembered the warmth of your newborn touch. Chastened, I vowed never again to suffer any interference in my mission to protect you.
517 513 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06005_005000_FOURCHENAULT No matter that you yourselves wished otherwise.
518 514 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06005_005010_FOURCHENAULT Detest me. Fight me tooth and nail. I would suffer it and more and be satisfied so long as I could force you onto the ship.
519 515 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06005_005020_FOURCHENAULT I was wrong. You two have grown so much stronger, and so much wiser, than I dared dream.
520 516 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06005_005030_FOURCHENAULT You have earned the right to walk your own path...and already begun to do so.
521 517 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06005_005040_ALISAIE Good! Because there are things we care about, and people we love...and none of them is replaceable. Not a one.
522 518 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06005_005050_FOURCHENAULT It cannot have been an easy journey, for you to have come so far.
523 519 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06005_005060_ALPHINAUD We shall be glad to acquaint you with the finer details someday, once this danger has passed. All that we have seen and heard. That we have felt and learned in our travels.

531 527 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06005_005140_FOURCHENAULT I assumed that it was the Scions' influence that made them so keen to charge headlong into danger.

533 529 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06005_005155_FOURCHENAULT I see now that said influence instead brought them together with the many fine people gathered here today.

535 531 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06005_005170_GRAHATIA If we've finished loitering about the harbor, might I suggest we put our plans into motion? People are beginning to look confused.

564 560 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06005_005390_AMON Then it was you─in Elpis, with Emet-Selch. Ha! The final pieces fall into place.
565 561 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06005_005400_AMON In my halcyon days as the mortal Amon, I was haunted by a dream...
566 562 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06005_005410_AMON Night after night, the faceless multitude. The voiceless cries. Shards of shattered memories.
567 563 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06005_005420_AMON But slowly the fog began to clear. This was Elpis, and I...I was Hermes.
568 564 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06005_005430_AMON Recurring though it was, I paid this dream little heed.
569 565 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06005_005440_AMON It was only when I was granted the seat─and memories─of Fandaniel that I knew these visions to be true.
570 566 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06005_005450_AMON They were the memories of Hermes, that he himself erased using the power of Kairos.
571 567 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06005_005460_AMON Or so he thought. In his attempt to burn away the events of that fateful day, he succeeded only in searing them more deeply into his soul. My soul.
572 568 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06005_005470_AMON Death failed to expunge them, no matter how many times it came. Rebirth after rebirth, from one Fandaniel to the next.
573 569 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06005_005480_AMON I wonder─is Emet-Selch adrift somewhere in this aetherial sea, in defeat finally remembering your time together in Elpis?
574 570 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06005_005490_AMON How it must gall him─to be entrusted with knowledge of the Final Days, only to be rendered powerless to act upon it! So many lifetimes dedicated to restoring his beloved Amaurot in blissful ignorance. Oh, folly.
575 571 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06005_005500_AMON But make no mistake... My life as Hermes is not the reason I invited the world's end.
576 572 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06005_005510_AMON I have lived. I have struggled. I have dredged the very depths of despair. And in the detritus of existence, I found the truth.
577 573 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06005_005520_AMON I served a great ruler, powerful beyond measure, the world his dominion. Yet even he and his vast empire were destined to fall─to become one with oblivion. At the end of life's journey...lies only death.
578 574 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06005_005530_AMON So I ask you─why live at all?
579 575 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06005_005540_AMON We betray, we torment, we murder. We are wicked, spiteful creatures─without exception!
580 576 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06005_005550_AMON If life is so sacred, so precious, why fill it with such misery?
581 577 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06005_005560_AMON Man wallows in a hell of his own making, without purpose or meaning.
582 578 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06005_005570_AMON To live is to suffer... And I would end that suffering by my own hand!
583 579 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06005_005580_AMON It matters not if it flies in the face of all believed right and just. Death is the only solution!
584 580 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06005_005590_AMON That is my truth. My answer to the question, and yet...
585 581 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06005_005600_AMON ...Even as the words pass my lips, I am filled with doubt.

597 593 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06005_005720_ASAHI Nor have I come to bemoan the state of the world following my untimely demise. In fact, I delight in mankind's downfall and the anguish it brings the savior of the savages.

626 622 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06005_005940_ALISAIE But is that really how it has to end? We do not wish to abandon this world. We want to protect the Source, and all of its shards!
627 623 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06005_005950_HYDAELYN To flee is but one of two paths.
628 624 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06005_005960_HYDAELYN The other leadeth to Meteion, far beyond the stars, where she doth chant creation's requiem.
629 625 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06005_005970_HYDAELYN Her domain is formed of dynamis. Pure. Absolute.
630 626 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06005_005980_HYDAELYN Where emotion and memory govern all, aether will avail you naught.
631 627 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06005_005990_HYDAELYN Meteion hath gathered the pain and despair of countless stars, and to go unprepared is to go unto your doom.
632 628 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06005_006000_ALISAIE We'll beat her. We'll win. I swear it!
633 629 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06005_006010_ALISAIE ...Is what I might've said, once.
634 630 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06005_006020_ALISAIE After everything I've seen, all the times I've succumbed to my own anger and fear...

636 632 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06005_006040_ALISAIE But are we truly so powerless? That our only choice is to flee?
637 633 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06005_006050_HYDAELYN Far from it, my child.
638 634 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06005_006060_HYDAELYN Long ago, the inhabitants of myriad stars─many more prosperous than Etheirys─sought to free their worlds from life's woes.
639 635 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06005_006070_HYDAELYN Sorrow and anger, conflict and hostility, despair...and even death itself. But as Meteion reported, every attempt ended in failure.
640 636 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06005_006080_HYDAELYN Darkness abideth within every living being, and can never be cast out.
641 637 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06005_006090_HYDAELYN Neither reason nor faith can challenge this immutable truth.
642 638 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06005_006100_HYDAELYN To live is to suffer.
643 639 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06005_006110_HYDAELYN And in suffering find strength, and purpose. And hope.
644 640 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06005_006120_HYDAELYN As you have done so many times before.
645 641 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06005_006130_HYDAELYN Thou dost pursue an impossible dream, yet knowing this, you pursue it nevertheless. And thou hast learned to depend on others, as they do thee.

648 644 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06005_006160_HYDAELYN For duty's sake, thou hast been bound by truths unutterable, time and time again. Yet thy heart hath never wavered, as thy companions will attest.
649 645 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06005_006170_HYDAELYN In thy pursuit of mysteries great, all thou believest is brought into question. Undaunted, thy thirst for knowledge remaineth unquenched.
650 646 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06005_006180_HYDAELYN The fires of hatred that once burned in thy heart burneth no more. From their ashes doth spring the light of love, warm and pure.
651 647 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06005_006190_HYDAELYN As witness to black calamity, thou despaired at man's helplessness. Resolved, thou didst unite a distant world on the brink of collapse.
652 648 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06005_006200_HYDAELYN And thou...my champion. When all did seem lost, thou never abandoned hope.
653 649 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06005_006210_HYDAELYN For every trial and every foe that did bar thy way, thou hast proven equal to the challenge, drawing courage from the many bonds forged on thy journey.
654 650 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06005_006220_HYDAELYN You have all known despair, and though the end approacheth, you walk on, heads held high.
655 651 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06005_006230_HYDAELYN Therein lieth your power. The strength to silence the song of oblivion.
656 652 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06005_006240_ALPHINAUD Then there is a means to confront her?
657 653 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06005_006250_HYDAELYN Yes, if you should prove yourselves worthy.

661 657 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06005_006290_HYDAELYN Do you possess the fortitude to stand firm when all around you doth crumble? Do you possess the faith to vanquish despair itself?

681 677 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06005_006490_HYDAELYN It was a true test of your prowess. You have done well.
682 678 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06005_006500_YSHTOLA There is one thing I must ask.
683 679 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06005_006510_YSHTOLA By sundering the world into fourteen shards, the aether of all living beings too was divided. This reduction would in theory allow us to more easily interact with dynamis.
684 680 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06005_006520_YSHTOLA Having seen mankind brought to the very precipice of extinction, you wished for us to develop a means to overcome despair.
685 681 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06005_006530_YSHTOLA You believed we had the potential, and sundered all creation to see it fulfilled. To deliver us to that swirling maelstrom of dynamis in which our foe hides, and grant us the power to defeat her once and for all. Is this not true?
686 682 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06005_006540_HYDAELYN It is as thou sayest. 'Twas the trial to which I subjected mankind, and it hath led to untold bloodshed and suffering. There was no kindness nor justice in the tragedy I wrought.
687 683 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06005_006550_HYDAELYN When confronted with the almighty Zodiark, my only recourse was to rend Him and the world asunder, that His power be diminished for a time.
688 684 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06005_006560_HYDAELYN And so it came to pass. Now you, my chosen, have surpassed my expectations. Surpassed me.
689 685 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06005_006570_HYDAELYN I entrust the fate of the universe...unto you.

692 688 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06005_006600_ALPHINAUD Though they may be capable of crossing great distances, there is a vast difference between traveling to the moon and the furthermost reaches of the great expanse.
693 689 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06005_006610_ALPHINAUD And unlike Meteion, we cannot simply soar on waves of dynamis to our destination.
694 690 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06005_006620_HYDAELYN Indeed. To make such a journey would require an astronomical amount of aether.
695 691 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06005_006630_HYDAELYN But a solution lieth close at hand.
696 692 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06005_006640_ALPHINAUD Of course!

705 701 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06005_006730_HYDAELYN I have a gift for thee... Come closer.
706 702 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06005_006740_HYDAELYN Long have I searched for a means to safeguard the future of this star.
707 703 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06005_006750_HYDAELYN Though I knew failure after failure, by recalling thy tales─and my promise to thee─I found the strength to carry on.
708 704 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06005_006760_HYDAELYN Though the world is ever changing, thy thirst for adventure hath never waned.
709 705 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06005_006770_HYDAELYN Thine unshakable resolve never ceaseth to amaze. To inspire.
710 706 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06005_006780_HYDAELYN As a mark of my gratitude, I bestow this final gift.
711 707 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06005_006790_HYDAELYN Thou dost possess the crystal of Azem, yes?
712 708 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06005_006800_HYDAELYN As Hydaelyn, I preside over the forces of stasis, tranquility, peace. The laws which impart stability to existence itself.
713 709 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06005_006810_HYDAELYN I will weave this selfsame power into the crystal, granting thee mastery over matter, to give form to the formless. Use it wisely, for it will not last indefinitely.
714 710 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06005_006820_HYDAELYN As thou hast seen on thy journey through the aetherial sea, souls are drawn to thee. Mayhap this trait will prove to be a boon rather than a hindrance...
715 711 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06005_006830_HYDAELYN It is thy hopes and prayers that enable Azem's invocations and give them life, so keep them close. But pray, remember this...
716 712 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06005_006840_HYDAELYN When the way forward is hidden even from the mind's eye, look not to the invocation, but within yourself.
717 713 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06005_006850_HYDAELYN These were the words of the crystal's original bearer.
718 714 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06005_006860_HYDAELYN With that...my work is finished.
719 715 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06005_006870_HYDAELYN Fulfill our promise. Right the wrongs committed when the world was yet whole. Silence the song of oblivion...
720 716 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06005_006880_HYDAELYN Teach her a brighter melody. Show her...our journey is far from over.
721 717 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06005_Q8_000_001_NONE_VOICE What will you say?
722 718 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06005_A8_000_001_NONE_VOICE Thank you, Hydaelyn.
723 719 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06005_A8_000_002_NONE_VOICE We will find our way, Venat.
724 720 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06005_006890_HYDAELYN It is I who should thank thee. For all thou hast done...and may yet accomplish.
725 721 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06005_006900_HYDAELYN Long after I have gone, though not even my soul remaineth...
726 722 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06005_006910_HYDAELYN My love will be with you forever, my dearest children.
727 723 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06005_006920_HYDAELYN Report if displayed.
728 724 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06005_006930_HYDAELYN Of this, I have no doubt. For yours is a light brilliant beyond measure.
729 725 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06005_006940_HYDAELYN Long after I have gone, though not even my soul remaineth...
730 726 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06005_006950_HYDAELYN My love will be with you forever, my dearest children.
731 727 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06005_006960_HYTHLODAEUS There you are...
732 728 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06005_006970_HYTHLODAEUS Some time indeed, yes... For you, at least.
733 729 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06005_006980_HYTHLODAEUS Believe me, I'd meant to get some proper sleep, but here we are, drifting along instead.
734 730 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06005_006990_HYTHLODAEUS Well, well. You too? And so we remain to watch and wonder...
735 731 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06005_007000_HYTHLODAEUS Yes, indeed...
736 732 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06005_007010_HYTHLODAEUS To begin, we first must see the end.
