1,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_06002_000020_YSHTOLA","It is we who should thank you. The records stored here are nothing short of extraordinary."
2,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_06002_000030_YSHTOLA","There is much we could learn of Zodiark and His imprisonment, but perhaps you could offer us more focused guidance. Pray tell us of the calamity that came before and comes now again."

4,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_06002_000050_WATCHEROFMOON","<UIForeground>F20223</UIForeground>One day, from within the earth, a terrible cry issued forth, affecting a profound change in all manner of life.<UIForeground>01</UIForeground>"
5,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_06002_000060_WATCHEROFMOON","<UIForeground>F20223</UIForeground>We were not exempt. Our creation magicks ran rampant, giving shape and form to thoughts of hopelessness and despair.<UIForeground>01</UIForeground>"
6,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_06002_000070_WATCHEROFMOON","<UIForeground>F20223</UIForeground>At first, the phenomenon was limited to a single region. But quickly...so very quickly...it spread and engulfed the whole of the star.<UIForeground>01</UIForeground>"
7,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_06002_000080_YSHTOLA","Were the ancients ever able to deduce its source?"
8,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_06002_000090_WATCHEROFMOON","<UIForeground>F20223</UIForeground>They were not. However, the Convocation struck upon a method to predict where next the corruption would manifest.<UIForeground>01</UIForeground>"

13,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_06002_000140_YSHTOLA","Celestial currents... I cannot say I am familiar with the concept."
14,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_06002_000150_WATCHEROFMOON","<UIForeground>F20223</UIForeground>Nor would I expect you to be. Few scholars of our time knew of their existence.<UIForeground>01</UIForeground>"

16,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_06002_000170_WATCHEROFMOON","<UIForeground>F20223</UIForeground>Like the terrestrial ones of earth and air, the celestial currents form a vast network. But the aetherial distribution is not consistent.<UIForeground>01</UIForeground>"
17,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_06002_000180_WATCHEROFMOON","<UIForeground>F20223</UIForeground>The Convocation soon realized that the inciting incidents occurred in regions where the flow was weakest.<UIForeground>01</UIForeground>"

19,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_06002_000200_URIANGER","And so they sought a means to harness the forces of Darkness, of activity and growth. Thus was Zodiark conceived."
20,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_06002_000210_URIANGER","No less a power than a god's could set right the laws of nature and quicken the flow of aether within the star."
21,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_06002_000220_WATCHEROFMOON","<UIForeground>F20223</UIForeground>Precisely. With the advent of Zodiark, our end was averted.<UIForeground>01</UIForeground>"
22,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_06002_000230_THANCRED","Emet-Selch claimed that those who summoned Hydaelyn did so because they saw Zodiark's power as a threat. Is that true?"
23,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_06002_000240_WATCHEROFMOON","<UIForeground>F20223</UIForeground>Indeed, there was a faction opposed to Zodiark's creation. But their aim was never to unmake Him.<UIForeground>01</UIForeground>"
24,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_06002_000250_WATCHEROFMOON","<UIForeground>F20223</UIForeground>They understood the continued preservation of the natural order was dependent on His very existence. Until we could identify and address the underlying cause of the Final Days, He would need remain, for His departure would set in motion those apocalyptic forces once more.<UIForeground>01</UIForeground>"
25,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_06002_000260_WATCHEROFMOON","<UIForeground>F20223</UIForeground>Hydaelyn recognized this as well. And so, rather than destroy, She sundered Zodiark, Herself, and the star into lesser reflections, that She might confine Him in this place.<UIForeground>01</UIForeground>"
26,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_06002_Q1_000_001_NONE_VOICE","What will you say?"
27,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_06002_A1_000_001_NONE_VOICE","I could have sworn She beseeched me to banish the Darkness."
28,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_06002_A1_000_002_NONE_VOICE","Then what She told me in the aetherial sea was false...?"
29,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_06002_000270_WATCHEROFMOON","<UIForeground>F20223</UIForeground>Perhaps She did. But as with all beings, intent is not always in accord with spoken word.<UIForeground>01</UIForeground>"
30,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_06002_000280_WATCHEROFMOON","<UIForeground>F20223</UIForeground>That the two once dwelled as one until Zodiark grew hungry for power, upsetting the balance twixt Them...? Not quite a lie, though a rather gross embellishment.<UIForeground>01</UIForeground>"
31,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_06002_000290_WATCHEROFMOON","<UIForeground>F20223</UIForeground>But knowing what you know now, you must surely realize why She might opt to obfuscate and mislead.<UIForeground>01</UIForeground>"
32,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_06002_000300_WATCHEROFMOON","<UIForeground>F20223</UIForeground>Hydaelyn and Zodiark are both constructs of man. Approximations of perfection limited by our own imperfections.<UIForeground>01</UIForeground>"
33,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_06002_000310_WATCHEROFMOON","<UIForeground>F20223</UIForeground>Zodiark was, without question, the more powerful of the two, having been born from the sacrifice of half Etheirys's population.<UIForeground>01</UIForeground>"
34,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_06002_000320_WATCHEROFMOON","<UIForeground>F20223</UIForeground>Thus was it necessary for Hydaelyn to commit Herself wholly to His defeat. Still more effort was needed to confine Him.<UIForeground>01</UIForeground>"
35,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_06002_000330_WATCHEROFMOON","<UIForeground>F20223</UIForeground>Maintaining the brands taxed Her greatly. With what power She dared spare, She cried out to any who might listen, and offered Her blessing to those who heeded Her call.<UIForeground>01</UIForeground>"
36,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_06002_000340_WATCHEROFMOON","<UIForeground>F20223</UIForeground>Though it was likely within Her power to do so, I believe She did not wish to speak of Etheirys and Her history.<UIForeground>01</UIForeground>"
37,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_06002_000350_WATCHEROFMOON","<UIForeground>F20223</UIForeground>Like Zodiark, Hydaelyn's purpose is a reflection of Her creators'. They wished to look to the future, and not linger in a prison of the past.<UIForeground>01</UIForeground>"
38,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_06002_000360_YSHTOLA","The Ascians set in motion seven Rejoinings before we came to oppose them. How many more worlds would have been lost had we not placed our faith in Her?"
39,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_06002_000370_YSHTOLA","How many more souls living in the present would have been snuffed out for the sake of those long dead?"
40,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_06002_000380_THANCRED","Well, in light of recent events, I see no reason to doubt your words."
41,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_06002_000390_THANCRED","And even if Hydaelyn is not a god in truth, if Minfilia believed that we should trust in Her plans, then I choose to do just that."
42,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_06002_000400_THANCRED","Which brings me to a rather important question."
43,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_06002_000410_THANCRED","Let's suppose we try but fail to stop this second coming of the Final Days."
44,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_06002_000420_THANCRED","Should the Source fall, what will become of the other worlds?"

51,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_06002_000490_WATCHEROFMOON","<UIForeground>F20223</UIForeground>Hydaelyn knew better than any that Her power was not absolute. Indeed, She has ever struggled to hold Zodiark and His faithful at bay.<UIForeground>01</UIForeground>"

53,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_06002_000510_WATCHEROFMOON","<UIForeground>F20223</UIForeground>This moon is more than a prison. It is a vessel capable of bearing the people of Etheirys to safe harbor.<UIForeground>01</UIForeground>"
54,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_06002_000520_WATCHEROFMOON","<UIForeground>F20223</UIForeground>You need not go far to find its pilots. In fact, I should be happy to take you to them...<UIForeground>01</UIForeground>"

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."
59,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_06002_000570_LIVINGWAY","(-???-)As of now, our mighty moon has a new purpose! To bear the people of Etheirys to safety!"
60,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_06002_000580_LIVINGWAY","(-???-)Our time is come, my friends!"
61,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_06002_000590_LIVINGWAY","(-???-)We must be swifter than swift! There is much to do before our guests arrive."
62,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_06002_000600_LIVINGWAY","(-???-)I expect your work stations to be immaculate. And don't forget to relay our signal to Etheirys!"
63,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_06002_000610_LIVINGWAY","(-???-)Questions? Yes? No? Maybe so? No? Then hop to it!"
64,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_06002_000620_URIANGER","'Tis a rather curious crew She hath chosen. Their endearing forms intended to ease the passengers' hearts, perhaps."
65,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_06002_000630_THANCRED","Perhaps..."
66,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_06002_000640_LIVINGWAY","(-Snappy Loporrit-)Right, of course! Introductions are in order. Ahem!"
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!"
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!"
69,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_06002_000670_MAPPINGWAY","Mappingway's the name. Map reader and navigator of the heavens."
70,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_06002_000680_THANCRED","Pleasure to meet you all, but...I'm still trying to make sense of...this."
71,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_06002_000690_LIVINGWAY","Confusion and bewilderment are completely understandable. Fear not! I shall walk you through it."
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."
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."
74,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_06002_000720_LIVINGWAY","Still not following? No? Very well! I shall elaborate further!"
75,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_06002_000730_LIVINGWAY","Here we have Etheirys─your home─and the moon, where we are now."
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."
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."
78,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_06002_000760_URIANGER","So too hath the watcher claimed. By thine unperturbed countenance, I gather this eventuality was anticipated?"
79,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_06002_000770_LIVINGWAY","The doom and gloom? Oh yes, quite expected."
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."
81,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_06002_000790_LIVINGWAY","The most earnest wishes or prayers will not stop it from rotting to the core."
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."
83,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_06002_000810_YSHTOLA","...And this moon will serve as the vessel to deliver us to a new home."
84,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_06002_000820_LIVINGWAY","Just so! We will gather up as many people, supplies, and resources as our stores will hold."
85,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_06002_000830_LIVINGWAY","And then, once everyone is aboard, it's off to another star!"
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!"
87,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_06002_000850_LIVINGWAY","We ought to make it to our destination in two shakes of a rabbit's tail."
88,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_06002_000860_YSHTOLA","Impressive technology. I daresay it is beyond anything we have ever seen."
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."
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."
91,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_06002_000890_LIVINGWAY","And the watcher─the real one, not the simulacrum you met─was one of Her fellow researchers."
92,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_06002_000900_LIVINGWAY","We and this wondrous vessel masquerading as a moon are products of their knowledge and know-how."
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?"
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."
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."
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."
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."
98,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_06002_000960_THANCRED","Help? From who?"
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?"
100,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_06002_000980_LIVINGWAY","Ah, but you're still adorable little children. Perhaps your elders were responsible for the deliveries?"
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."
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."
103,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_06002_001010_LIVINGWAY","What? Then who in blazes let you on <Emphasis>my</Emphasis> moon!?"
104,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_06002_001020_LIVINGWAY","Hydaelyn <Emphasis>Herself</Emphasis> led you here?"
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?"
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."
107,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_06002_001050_LIVINGWAY","So...you're saying everyone's not like the watcher?"
108,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_06002_001060_LIVINGWAY","Confound it all! Someone could've at least scribbled a note about your profound miniaturization..."
109,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_06002_001070_URIANGER","That tome in thy possession..."
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."
111,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_06002_001090_LIVINGWAY","The sum total of our knowledge of your kind is contained in these pages."
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?"
113,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_06002_001110_LIVINGWAY","Ahhh!"
114,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_06002_001120_LIVINGWAY","Buildingway, can you hear me? Yes, we're all very busy."
115,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_06002_001130_LIVINGWAY","Change of plans. I need you to rebuild the domiciles at one-third the scale."
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!"
117,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_06002_001150_THANCRED","Perhaps you could tell us a bit more about your terrestrial collaborators."
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."
119,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_06002_001170_GROWINGWAY","Readying the teleporter."
120,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_06002_001180_GROWINGWAY","Huh? Access to living quarters restricted due to reconstruction? Then where is it... Oh no!"
121,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_06002_001190_URIANGER","A private audience, as thou didst request. For reasons I know not..."
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."
123,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_06002_001210_LIVINGWAY","Do you and your friends, by any chance, find our accommodation wanting? Be honest. Brutally, even."
124,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_06002_001220_URIANGER","'Twould be ungracious of me to belittle the efforts of thee and thine."
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!"
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."
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."
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."
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?"
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."

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.

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.

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!

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...

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?

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.

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?

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
231 227 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06002_002210_WATCHEROFMOON <UIForeground>F20223</UIForeground>That flower... How came it into your possession?<UIForeground>01</UIForeground>

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!

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.
361 357 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06002_003410_YSHTOLA Would that you could have seen it with your own eyes. Mayhap then you would understand why the greater part of me is glad you did not. It was...a horror beyond description.
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.
379 375 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06002_003590_GRAHATIA Sleep well, my friend.
380 376 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06002_003600_ESTINIEN You're alone... Good.
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.
387 383 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06002_003670_ESTINIEN You will need it, wrack and ruin looming on the horizon. Calamity bearing down upon us.
388 384 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06002_003680_ESTINIEN There's no place I'd rather be than here. Standing shoulder to shoulder with friends on the front line.
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.
393 389 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06002_003730_SYSTEM_NONE_VOICE A short while earlier, in the Ala Mhigan Quarter...
394 390 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06002_003740_ALAMHIGANCITIZENA Thank the gods that tower is gone. The sight of it was enough to make me sick...
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.
397 393 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06002_003770_ALAMHIGANCITIZENA But is it true they brought back tempered Garlean soldiers?
398 394 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06002_003780_ALAMHIGANCITIZENB As Commander Aldynn tells it, they've a treatment for that now. But don't you worry─cured or not, they've no plans to bring them into the city proper.
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...
402 398 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06002_003820_SYSTEM_NONE_VOICE Meanwhile, in Ishgard...
403 399 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06002_003830_ERENVILLE Another day, another commission of paramount importance...
404 400 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06002_003840_ERENVILLE Well, what have we here...?
405 401 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06002_003850_ERENVILLE Hm?
406 402 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06002_003860_ERENVILLE Hey! Are you all right?
407 403 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06002_003870_ERENVILLE Was that...? No. The shadows play tricks. Nothing more.
408 404 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06002_003880_ERENVILLE The towers are gone, and the Garlean threat has abated. And yet...
409 405 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06002_003890_ERENVILLE Why does it feel as though it's about to get much, much worse...?
