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."

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."

22,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_06004_000200_ELIDIBUS","...Elpis? Yes...the name is familiar to me."
|

23,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_06004_000210_ELIDIBUS","Yet I know it not as a flower, but a place."

29,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_06004_000270_ELIDIBUS","Elpis itself would tell even less. Nary a ruin has survived─"

31,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_06004_000290_ELIDIBUS","No...I did not...but I did. I did. A lingering trace of impossibility..."

33,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_06004_000310_ELIDIBUS","My memories remain clouded, I fear. However...they have revealed to me one possible course."
|
||||
34,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_06004_000320_ELIDIBUS","You must travel to Elpis─to the time when Hermes served as its chief."
|
||||
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."
|

36,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_06004_000340_ELIDIBUS","Which, having absorbed my empowered essence, now harbors an abundance of energy."
|

37,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_06004_000350_ELIDIBUS","As such, I believe I can deliver you unto the past. Unto that place and that precise moment."
|

38,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_06004_000360_ELIDIBUS","Given the eons that must be traversed, the gateway will not be fully formed."
|
||||
39,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_06004_000370_ELIDIBUS","Your form will be less tangible still than those Warriors of Light I had summoned."
|
||||
40,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_06004_000380_ELIDIBUS","In all likelihood, none will be able to see or hear you."
|
||||
41,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_06004_000390_ELIDIBUS","Yet even should you manage to interact with others, you will be unable to effect meaningful change."
|
||||
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."
|
||||
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."
|
||||
44,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_06004_000420_ELIDIBUS","In full knowledge of this, will you still entrust your life to your foe and make the journey?"
|
||||
45,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_06004_000430_ELIDIBUS","Very well. I shall cast you unto the river of time. Let this be my final act."
|
||||
46,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_06004_000440_ELIDIBUS","You must input the commands. I no longer have the authority."
|
||||
47,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_06004_000450_ELIDIBUS","First, you must reconfigure the systems, that the tower's aether may be channeled for the magick..."
|
||||
48,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_06004_000460_ELIDIBUS","The preparations are complete. The gateway will soon open. Return at once to the Ocular."
|
||||
49,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_06004_000470_ELIDIBUS","All appears to be in order. The aether flows unimpeded."
|
||||
50,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_06004_000480_ELIDIBUS","The magick should consume every last mote of my essence."
|
||||
51,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_06004_000490_ELIDIBUS","Why are you surprised? Did I not say that this will be my final act?"
|
||||
52,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_06004_000500_ELIDIBUS","Lord Zodiark is no more. There is nothing for me here."
|
||||
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..."
|
||||
54,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_06004_000520_ELIDIBUS","Now go, Warrior of Light. Go...and do not look back."
|
||||
55,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_06004_000530_ELIDIBUS","Well, Hydaelyn. I take my leave of You. Yours is the mantle of the last of us."
|
||||
56,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_06004_000540_ELIDIBUS","May You have...the joy of it. The burden...and the solitude."
|

57,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_06004_000550_ELIDIBUS","It falls to You now─You and Your champion─to save our star."
|
||||
58,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_06004_000560_HYTHLODAEUS","(-???-)And here we are. Elpis."
|
||||
59,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_06004_000570_PROPYLAIONSTAFF","Well, well, how rare to receive you in person. To what do we owe the honor?"
|
||||
60,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_06004_000580_HYTHLODAEUS","(-Familiar Stranger-)Oh, just a few odd tasks. We'll be here a while."
|
||||
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."
|
||||
62,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_06004_000600_EMETSELCH","(-Familiar Voice-)Come now, is this truly necessary? Surely you can tell who we are..."
|
||||
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."

66,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_06004_000640_PROPYLAIONSTAFF","I thank you for your cooperation. You are free to go about your business."
|

67,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_06004_000650_HYTHLODAEUS","(-Familiar Stranger-)By the by...you see it too, yes?"
|
||||
68,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_06004_000660_EMETSELCH","(-Man with a Familiar Voice-)I haven't the foggiest what you're talking about."
|
||||
69,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_06004_000670_HYTHLODAEUS","(-Familiar Stranger-)Hmm? That's odd."
|
||||
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."
|
||||
71,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_06004_000690_HYTHLODAEUS","(-Familiar Stranger-)Do you suppose he created it? Rather unusual for a familiar to have a soul, though..."
|

72,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_06004_000700_HYTHLODAEUS","(-Familiar Stranger-)Do you suppose she created it? Rather unusual for a familiar to have a soul, though..."
|
||||
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."
|
||||
74,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_06004_000720_EMETSELCH","(-Man with a Familiar Voice-)So let's leave it be. Come, now."
|
||||
75,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_06004_000730_HYTHLODAEUS","(-Familiar Stranger-)It's trying to say something...but it's literally too intangible to form words."
|
||||
76,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_06004_000740_HYTHLODAEUS","(-Familiar Stranger-)Why don't you give it some aether? Spare a snifter of your bounteous reserves."
|

77,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_06004_000750_EMETSELCH","(-Man with a Familiar Voice-)Who do you take me for?"
|
||||
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."

79,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_06004_000770_EMETSELCH","No subtitles, report if displayed."

80,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_06004_000780_EMETSELCH","(-Man with a Familiar Voice-)I suggest you close your eyes, or this may be...unpleasant."

81,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_06004_000790_EMETSELCH","(-Man with a Familiar Voice-)You may open your eyes."
|
||||
82,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_06004_000800_HYTHLODAEUS","(-Familiar Stranger-)Still a touch small, don't you think?"
|
||||
83,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_06004_000810_EMETSELCH","(-Man with a Familiar Voice-)The size befits its proportions. Besides, bigger is not necessarily better."
|
||||
84,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_06004_000820_HYTHLODAEUS","(-Familiar Stranger-)I will defer to your experience."
|
||||
85,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_06004_000830_HYTHLODAEUS","(-Familiar Stranger-)Quite large, don't you think?"
|
||||
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."
|
||||
87,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_06004_000850_HYTHLODAEUS","(-Familiar Stranger-)No, no, this will suffice, I'm sure."
|
||||
88,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_06004_000860_HYTHLODAEUS","(-Familiar Stranger-)Oh, you even adjusted its size."
|
||||
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."
|
||||
90,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_06004_000880_HYTHLODAEUS","(-Familiar Stranger-)How very thoughtful of you. And may I applaud your artful reinforcement."
|
||||
91,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_06004_000890_HYTHLODAEUS","Without further ado, then... Greetings! I am Hythlodaeus, chief of the Bureau of the Architect."
|
||||
92,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_06004_000900_HYTHLODAEUS","Sulking beside me is the most honorable Emet-Selch of the Convocation of Fourteen."
|
||||
93,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_06004_000910_HYTHLODAEUS","And how might we address you, my new friend?"
|
||||
94,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_06004_000920_HYTHLODAEUS","A fine name. And I'm pleased to see you understand our words."
|
||||
95,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_06004_000930_HYTHLODAEUS","So tell us, whence have you come? The thinness of your essence suggests you weren't created here..."
|
||||
96,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_06004_000940_HYTHLODAEUS","You do not know...or cannot say? Hmm. Allow me to ask a different question, then."
|
||||
97,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_06004_000950_HYTHLODAEUS","What brings you here?"
|

98,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_06004_Q2_000_001_NONE_VOICE","What will you say?"
|

99,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_06004_A2_000_001_NONE_VOICE","I seek a man named Hermes."
|

100,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_06004_A2_000_002_NONE_VOICE","I want to learn about Elpis."
|
||||
101,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_06004_000960_HYTHLODAEUS","Well now, the same as us..."
|
||||
102,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_06004_000970_HYTHLODAEUS","Perhaps Azem wished to come too, but had to settle for a familiar."
|
||||
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."
|

104,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_06004_000990_HYTHLODAEUS","Right you are..."
|
||||
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."
|
||||
106,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_06004_001010_HYTHLODAEUS","And with your purpose matching our own besides, we jumped to a hasty conclusion."
|
||||
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."
|
||||
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."
|
||||
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."
|
||||
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?"
|
||||
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?"
|
||||
112,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_06004_001070_HYTHLODAEUS","Besides, having a mysterious life-form in tow is the norm rather than the exception here."
|
||||
113,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_06004_001080_HYTHLODAEUS","Welcome, my friends, to the testing ground of creation at heavens' edge: Elpis!"
|

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."

132,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_06004_001260_HERMES","You do. You have traveled far for it."
|

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..."

134,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_06004_001280_HYTHLODAEUS","You wound me. Have I not ever been an attentive and helpful friend?"
|

135,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_06004_001290_HYTHLODAEUS","But moving along to more agreeable company, this one we chanced to..."
|

136,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_06004_001300_HYTHLODAEUS","...Well, you certainly have her attention. Is she one of yours, Hermes?"
|

137,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_06004_001310_HERMES","Her name is Meteion. It means shooting star."
|

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."
|

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."
|
||||
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."

141,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_06004_001350_HERMES","But rest assured that I will attend in person ere long."
