1,"TEXT_LUCKSA002_03835_SEQ_01","You agree to lend your strength to the Bozjan resistance, and Marsak wastes no time in preparing a ship to ferry you to their base of operations. He bids you meet him at the Doman Enclave when you are ready to embark."
2,"TEXT_LUCKSA002_03835_SEQ_02","You find Marsak waiting for you patiently at the dock. Prepared to depart, you speak with the ferryman who ushers the two of you onto his airship."
3,"TEXT_LUCKSA002_03835_SEQ_03","No sooner do you arrive at the resistance camp than you find yourself face to face with Bajsaljen, leader of the Bozjan resistance. He and his comrades explain to you their plan─to reforge the legendary weapons of Gunnhildr's Blades. Despite the scarcity of recordings relating to Queen Gunnhildr and her guard, they have made great strides in reproducing their vaunted arms. The key to their completion is a holy inscription engraved upon them, any traces of which were lost when Bozja Citadel fell many years ago. For their plans to move forward, they have enlisted the aid of an old friend─Mikoto."
4,"TEXT_LUCKSA002_03835_SEQ_04","In perhaps a few too many words, and a demonstration assisted by Gerolt, Mikoto expounds further on their plans. Borrowing the long-forgotten techniques of Bozjan seers, you must use a special crystal focus to enter the memories of those who may have seen the holy inscription required to reforge Gunnhildr's weapons. The problem, however, is that anyone who had glimpsed the inscription perished when Bozja Citadel was destroyed. Or so they thought. While contemplating the possibility of survivors, Mikoto is struck by a vision of the future. In it, she sees Cid Garlond, convincing her that he is the eyewitness you are searching for."
5,"TEXT_LUCKSA002_03835_SEQ_05","While strangely reluctant, Bajsaljen understands that Cid Garlond is likely your only hope of forging Gunnhildr's weapons. And so he bids you go to Rhalgr's Reach and speak with the Ironworks engineers there to find him."
6,"TEXT_LUCKSA002_03835_SEQ_06","Speaking with a fledgling engineer in Rhalgr's Reach, it seems as though Cid is too preoccupied to help. Thankfully, Jessie happens to overhear your conversation and clears up any misconceptions regarding his present commitments. Before taking her leave, Jessie asks that you proceed with caution, fearful of what horrors may be unearthed from Cid's past."
7,"TEXT_LUCKSA002_03835_SEQ_07","Arrangements have been made for Cid to meet you at the Doman Enclave. As you make your way to meet him, you cannot help but wonder what secrets his memories may hold."

To ensure we remain unnoticed by the Empire, this ship is one of the few permitted to travel 'twixt Doma and the other provinces. Should you have need to travel to Gangos in the future, I ask you come here to do so."

53,"TEXT_LUCKSA002_03835_BAISHAEN_000_061","Bajsaljen, leader of the Bozjan resistance. Not the best choice for the job, if I'm to be frank, but I will bear the title all the same."
54,"TEXT_LUCKSA002_03835_GEROLT_000_062","(-???-)Bloody hells, man! Ye won't inspire much confidence speakin' like that!"
55,"TEXT_LUCKSA002_03835_BAISHAEN_000_063","Haha, you're quite right, Master Gerolt! While you're here, won't you come and welcome our guest?"
56,"TEXT_LUCKSA002_03835_GEROLT_000_065","Huh...? What in the seven hells are <Emphasis>you</Emphasis> doin' here!?"
57,"TEXT_LUCKSA002_03835_GEROLT_000_070","Don't I know ye from somewhere? ...Ah, I know! Yer that <If(PlayerParameter(4))>lass<Else/>bloke</If> what saved Eorzea from the Garleans or some such. <Split(<Highlight>ObjectParameter(1)</Highlight>, ,1)/>, was it? What's the matter? Ye look like someone pissed in yer porridge."
58,"TEXT_LUCKSA002_03835_BAISHAEN_000_071","Eorzea's greatest hero and her finest blacksmith. With the two of you here, our plan is sure to succeed. Would that Queen Gunnhildr were here to witness this."
59,"TEXT_LUCKSA002_03835_GEROLT_000_072","Oi, <Split(<Highlight>ObjectParameter(1)</Highlight>, ,1)/>... Just between us? I'm only here to pay off me debts to that black–hearted snake Rowena."
60,"TEXT_LUCKSA002_03835_GEROLT_000_073","She's been sellin' supplies to the resistance, and they happened to mention they were in need of a smithy. So she went and told 'em I'm the greatest bleedin' smithy in the realm, with skills that'd put Byregot Himself to shame."
61,"TEXT_LUCKSA002_03835_GEROLT_000_074","Can't rightly say I'm even half o' what she claimed, but I'll do me damndest. They're happy to ply me with good grub and even better booze, so play along, will ye?"
62,"TEXT_LUCKSA002_03835_BAISHAEN_000_075","Now that you're both here, I believe it time our plans be made clear. Misija?"
63,"TEXT_LUCKSA002_03835_MEESIYA_000_076","Yes, of course. Our goal is to reforge the weapons wielded by Gunnhildr's Blades. Simple in principle, less so in execution."
64,"TEXT_LUCKSA002_03835_MEESIYA_000_077","The weapons themselves and most of the texts denoting the history of Her Majesty and her guard were lost to the devastation of the Fourth Umbral Calamity."
65,"TEXT_LUCKSA002_03835_MEESIYA_000_078","That said, we have managed to obtain certain pieces of information, and coupled with Master Gerolt's knowledge and expertise, we have made great strides in reproducing these vaunted blades of eld."
66,"TEXT_LUCKSA002_03835_GEROLT_000_079","We've worked out the manner o' weapons they wielded, their shape an' weight─even the materials needed for me forge. But we've learned bugger all about what gives 'em spirit."
67,"TEXT_LUCKSA002_03835_MEESIYA_000_080","It is said Queen Gunnhildr etched a holy inscription into each blade, thus granting them the power of the gods. Unfortunately, no records of any such engravings remain, but there is still hope."
68,"TEXT_LUCKSA002_03835_MEESIYA_000_081","Though naught but pale imitations, there once existed replicas which may very well have borne these inscriptions. Alas, they were lost when Bozja Citadel fell. "
69,"TEXT_LUCKSA002_03835_MARSHAK_000_082","Do you know of the Bozja incident?"
70,"TEXT_LUCKSA002_03835_Q2_000_100","What will you say?"
71,"TEXT_LUCKSA002_03835_A1_000_100","It sounds vaguely familiar..."
72,"TEXT_LUCKSA002_03835_A2_000_100","Yes, I do. Though admittedly I do not recall it in detail."
73,"TEXT_LUCKSA002_03835_MARSHAK_000_085","A bitter chapter in our history, for it would mark the end of Bozja as we knew it."
74,"TEXT_LUCKSA002_03835_MARSHAK_000_090","That a worldly adventurer such as yourself would know of this is of no surprise. If I may, I would share the tragic tale of our homeland."
75,"TEXT_LUCKSA002_03835_MARSHAK_000_095","Fifteen summers past, the Garleans were conducting experiments, seeking a means to make contact with the lesser moon, Dalamud."
76,"TEXT_LUCKSA002_03835_MARSHAK_000_096","They believed the satellite to be possessed of immense power, and a lunar transmitter was erected in the hopes of harnessing it."
77,"TEXT_LUCKSA002_03835_MARSHAK_000_097","But when the transmitter was activated and the signal sent, Dalamud responded with an immense blast of raw energy. The destruction wrought defied reckoning."
78,"TEXT_LUCKSA002_03835_MEESIYA_000_098","The citadel, the relics of Queen Gunnhildr's kingdom... Naught was left but smoke and ash."
79,"TEXT_LUCKSA002_03835_GEROLT_000_099","Hope ain't lost yet, though. The citadel's been wiped off the bloody map, aye, but there's still a way for us to find those inscriptions. Or so I've been told."
80,"TEXT_LUCKSA002_03835_BAISHAEN_000_100","An explanation better left to one far more knowledgeable than I."
81,"TEXT_LUCKSA002_03835_GEROLT_000_105","I reckon I'll leave the lass over there to you. Scholarly types like her have a knack for rubbin' me the wrong way, an' I can't hardly understand half o' what they say in the first place."
82,"TEXT_LUCKSA002_03835_MIKOTO_000_130","'Tis good to see you again, <Split(<Highlight>ObjectParameter(1)</Highlight>, ,1)/>. Though I had hoped to accomplish more before your arrival."
83,"TEXT_LUCKSA002_03835_Q3_000_200","What will you say?"
84,"TEXT_LUCKSA002_03835_A1_000_200","Wait, don't tell me. Your name is..."
85,"TEXT_LUCKSA002_03835_A2_000_200","I'm sure your help will be as invaluable now as it was aboard the <Emphasis>Prima Vista</Emphasis>."
86,"TEXT_LUCKSA002_03835_MIKOTO_000_135","Have I truly left so little an impression? It is I, Mikoto, of House Jinba. Do you not recall our journey together to Rabanastre?"
87,"TEXT_LUCKSA002_03835_MIKOTO_000_140","You are far too kind. If not for your heroism, Ramza and Alma would have...would have..."
88,"TEXT_LUCKSA002_03835_BAISHAEN_000_141","From the onset of our endeavor, it was abundantly clear that one versed in aetherology would be essential. We relayed this to the alliance, who then introduced us to Mikoto. She is said to be one of the most brilliant minds among the Students of Baldesion."
89,"TEXT_LUCKSA002_03835_MIKOTO_000_142","And yet it is my ineptitude that demands your presence here. <sigh> I was all but certain that Gerolt and I alone would suffice in this, alas..."
90,"TEXT_LUCKSA002_03835_MEESIYA_000_143","Ahem. The matter she speaks of concerns a long-forgotten practice of the holy men who once inhabited these lands. Utilizing uniquely aspected crystals, these seers were able to provide succor for those with ailments of the mind."
91,"TEXT_LUCKSA002_03835_MEESIYA_000_144","They possessed the ability to shape their very memories, removing those deemed harmful and replacing them, that the patient may find some semblance of peace."
92,"TEXT_LUCKSA002_03835_MARSHAK_000_145","I too dismissed the notion that such practices could exist. That is, until a recent excavation unearthed compelling evidence of their work: the crystals we believe were used in their healing."
93,"TEXT_LUCKSA002_03835_MARSHAK_000_146","Unfortunately, we were unable to discern how they are meant to be used. It was at this juncture that we petitioned for Mikoto's assistance."
94,"TEXT_LUCKSA002_03835_GEROLT_000_147","Well, lass? Made any progress?"
95,"TEXT_LUCKSA002_03835_MIKOTO_000_148","My initial analysis suggests the crystals were artificially created at some point in the distant past. The materials used suggest they were most likely produced by the ancestral peoples of this area."
96,"TEXT_LUCKSA002_03835_MIKOTO_000_149","What's more, their aetherial signature is strikingly similar to the oscillatory activity of brain waves which, when made to resonate with the distinct-frequency NRR–type harmonic vibrations of an individual's─ Ah. I've done it again, haven't I?"
97,"TEXT_LUCKSA002_03835_MIKOTO_000_150","I think...a simpler approach is in order. Ahem. Every living being is comprised of corporeal aether of the flesh, incorporeal aether of the soul, and the aetherial residue of their memories."
98,"TEXT_LUCKSA002_03835_MIKOTO_000_151","Were one to be possessed of only corporeal aether, they would be but a walking corpse. Conversely, entities comprised of only incorporeal aether are referred to in layman's terms as ghosts. In either case, they may also retain some of their residual memories."

He and his comrades explain to you their plan─to reforge the legendary weapons of Gunnhildr's Blades. Despite the scarcity of recordings relating to Queen Gunnhildr and her guard, they have made great strides in reproducing their vaunted arms. The key to their completion is a holy inscription engraved upon them, any traces of which were lost when Bozja Citadel fell many years ago. For their plans to move forward, they have enlisted the aid of an old friend─Mikoto.

Borrowing the long-forgotten techniques of Bozjan seers, you must use a special crystal focus to enter the memories of those who may have seen the holy inscription required to reforge Gunnhildr's weapons. The problem, however, is that anyone who had glimpsed the inscription perished when Bozja Citadel was destroyed. Or so they thought.

10 6 TEXT_LUCKSA002_03835_SEQ_06 Speaking with a fledgling engineer in Rhalgr's Reach, it seems as though Cid is too preoccupied to help. Thankfully, Jessie happens to overhear your conversation and clears up any misconceptions regarding his present commitments. Before taking her leave, Jessie asks that you proceed with caution, fearful of what horrors may be unearthed from Cid's past.
11 7 TEXT_LUCKSA002_03835_SEQ_07 Arrangements have been made for Cid to meet you at the Doman Enclave. As you make your way to meet him, you cannot help but wonder what secrets his memories may hold.

66 62 TEXT_LUCKSA002_03835_BAISHAEN_000_075 Now that you're both here, I believe it time our plans be made clear. Misija?
67 63 TEXT_LUCKSA002_03835_MEESIYA_000_076 Yes, of course. Our goal is to reforge the weapons wielded by Gunnhildr's Blades. Simple in principle, less so in execution.
68 64 TEXT_LUCKSA002_03835_MEESIYA_000_077 The weapons themselves and most of the texts denoting the history of Her Majesty and her guard were lost to the devastation of the Fourth Umbral Calamity.
69 65 TEXT_LUCKSA002_03835_MEESIYA_000_078 That said, we have managed to obtain certain pieces of information, and coupled with Master Gerolt's knowledge and expertise, we have made great strides in reproducing these vaunted blades of eld.
70 66 TEXT_LUCKSA002_03835_GEROLT_000_079 We've worked out the manner o' weapons they wielded, their shape an' weight─even the materials needed for me forge. But we've learned bugger all about what gives 'em spirit.
71 67 TEXT_LUCKSA002_03835_MEESIYA_000_080 It is said Queen Gunnhildr etched a holy inscription into each blade, thus granting them the power of the gods. Unfortunately, no records of any such engravings remain, but there is still hope.
72 68 TEXT_LUCKSA002_03835_MEESIYA_000_081 Though naught but pale imitations, there once existed replicas which may very well have borne these inscriptions. Alas, they were lost when Bozja Citadel fell.
73 69 TEXT_LUCKSA002_03835_MARSHAK_000_082 Do you know of the Bozja incident?
74 70 TEXT_LUCKSA002_03835_Q2_000_100 What will you say?

76 72 TEXT_LUCKSA002_03835_A2_000_100 Yes, I do. Though admittedly I do not recall it in detail.
77 73 TEXT_LUCKSA002_03835_MARSHAK_000_085 A bitter chapter in our history, for it would mark the end of Bozja as we knew it.
78 74 TEXT_LUCKSA002_03835_MARSHAK_000_090 That a worldly adventurer such as yourself would know of this is of no surprise. If I may, I would share the tragic tale of our homeland.
79 75 TEXT_LUCKSA002_03835_MARSHAK_000_095 Fifteen summers past, the Garleans were conducting experiments, seeking a means to make contact with the lesser moon, Dalamud.
80 76 TEXT_LUCKSA002_03835_MARSHAK_000_096 They believed the satellite to be possessed of immense power, and a lunar transmitter was erected in the hopes of harnessing it.
81 77 TEXT_LUCKSA002_03835_MARSHAK_000_097 But when the transmitter was activated and the signal sent, Dalamud responded with an immense blast of raw energy. The destruction wrought defied reckoning.
82 78 TEXT_LUCKSA002_03835_MEESIYA_000_098 The citadel, the relics of Queen Gunnhildr's kingdom... Naught was left but smoke and ash.
83 79 TEXT_LUCKSA002_03835_GEROLT_000_099 Hope ain't lost yet, though. The citadel's been wiped off the bloody map, aye, but there's still a way for us to find those inscriptions. Or so I've been told.
84 80 TEXT_LUCKSA002_03835_BAISHAEN_000_100 An explanation better left to one far more knowledgeable than I.
85 81 TEXT_LUCKSA002_03835_GEROLT_000_105 I reckon I'll leave the lass over there to you. Scholarly types like her have a knack for rubbin' me the wrong way, an' I can't hardly understand half o' what they say in the first place.

88 84 TEXT_LUCKSA002_03835_A1_000_200 Wait, don't tell me. Your name is...
89 85 TEXT_LUCKSA002_03835_A2_000_200 I'm sure your help will be as invaluable now as it was aboard the <Emphasis>Prima Vista</Emphasis>.
90 86 TEXT_LUCKSA002_03835_MIKOTO_000_135 Have I truly left so little an impression? It is I, Mikoto, of House Jinba. Do you not recall our journey together to Rabanastre?
91 87 TEXT_LUCKSA002_03835_MIKOTO_000_140 You are far too kind. If not for your heroism, Ramza and Alma would have...would have...
92 88 TEXT_LUCKSA002_03835_BAISHAEN_000_141 From the onset of our endeavor, it was abundantly clear that one versed in aetherology would be essential. We relayed this to the alliance, who then introduced us to Mikoto. She is said to be one of the most brilliant minds among the Students of Baldesion.
93 89 TEXT_LUCKSA002_03835_MIKOTO_000_142 And yet it is my ineptitude that demands your presence here. <sigh> I was all but certain that Gerolt and I alone would suffice in this, alas...
94 90 TEXT_LUCKSA002_03835_MEESIYA_000_143 Ahem. The matter she speaks of concerns a long-forgotten practice of the holy men who once inhabited these lands. Utilizing uniquely aspected crystals, these seers were able to provide succor for those with ailments of the mind.
95 91 TEXT_LUCKSA002_03835_MEESIYA_000_144 They possessed the ability to shape their very memories, removing those deemed harmful and replacing them, that the patient may find some semblance of peace.
96 92 TEXT_LUCKSA002_03835_MARSHAK_000_145 I too dismissed the notion that such practices could exist. That is, until a recent excavation unearthed compelling evidence of their work: the crystals we believe were used in their healing.
97 93 TEXT_LUCKSA002_03835_MARSHAK_000_146 Unfortunately, we were unable to discern how they are meant to be used. It was at this juncture that we petitioned for Mikoto's assistance.
98 94 TEXT_LUCKSA002_03835_GEROLT_000_147 Well, lass? Made any progress?
99 95 TEXT_LUCKSA002_03835_MIKOTO_000_148 My initial analysis suggests the crystals were artificially created at some point in the distant past. The materials used suggest they were most likely produced by the ancestral peoples of this area.
100 96 TEXT_LUCKSA002_03835_MIKOTO_000_149 What's more, their aetherial signature is strikingly similar to the oscillatory activity of brain waves which, when made to resonate with the distinct-frequency NRR–type harmonic vibrations of an individual's─ Ah. I've done it again, haven't I?
101 97 TEXT_LUCKSA002_03835_MIKOTO_000_150 I think...a simpler approach is in order. Ahem. Every living being is comprised of corporeal aether of the flesh, incorporeal aether of the soul, and the aetherial residue of their memories.
102 98 TEXT_LUCKSA002_03835_MIKOTO_000_151 Were one to be possessed of only corporeal aether, they would be but a walking corpse. Conversely, entities comprised of only incorporeal aether are referred to in layman's terms as ghosts. In either case, they may also retain some of their residual memories.
103 99 TEXT_LUCKSA002_03835_GEROLT_000_152 Aye, zombies and ghosts. I follow.
104 100 TEXT_LUCKSA002_03835_MIKOTO_000_153 These crystals are able to isolate and resonate with the aetherial signature of memories. This allowed the seers to probe the minds of their patients.
105 101 TEXT_LUCKSA002_03835_GEROLT_000_154 That's all well an' good, lass, but what if their mind ain't what it used to be? Or they was too deep in their cups to remember what yer lookin' for?
106 102 TEXT_LUCKSA002_03835_MIKOTO_000_155 An excellent question, Master Gerolt. We are all possessed of two types of memory─explicit and implicit.
107 103 TEXT_LUCKSA002_03835_MIKOTO_000_156 As their names suggest, explicit memories refer to an active remembrance of previous experiences, while implicit memories are acquired and stored passively.
108 104 TEXT_LUCKSA002_03835_MIKOTO_000_157 For example, when making a new acquaintance, their appearance will become part of your explicit memory, allowing you to recall that information. Should a great deal of time pass without meeting, however, such recollection can prove difficult.
109 105 TEXT_LUCKSA002_03835_MIKOTO_000_158 Yet in that moment, your mind also takes record of the sounds and smells of the location, the temperature, and so on.
110 106 TEXT_LUCKSA002_03835_MIKOTO_000_159 Hmm... Perhaps a demonstration would better explain this phenomenon.
111 107 TEXT_LUCKSA002_03835_Q4_000_300 What will you say?
112 108 TEXT_LUCKSA002_03835_A1_000_300 Without a seer?
113 109 TEXT_LUCKSA002_03835_A2_000_300 Don't we need some sort of spell?
114 110 TEXT_LUCKSA002_03835_MIKOTO_000_170 Thankfully, that will not be necessary.
115 111 TEXT_LUCKSA002_03835_MIKOTO_000_171 When I was first told of the seers and their practices, I was immediately reminded of your ability to peer into the past.
116 112 TEXT_LUCKSA002_03835_MIKOTO_000_172 I believe these people were blessed with a similar gift, and it is for that reason they were chosen to serve as seers.
117 113 TEXT_LUCKSA002_03835_MIKOTO_000_173 Though I too am possessed of the Echo, I lack the ability to peer into the past as you do, and thus have been unable to wield the power of these crystals.
118 114 TEXT_LUCKSA002_03835_GEROLT_000_174 That's why we called ye here.
119 115 TEXT_LUCKSA002_03835_MIKOTO_000_175 Until now I could do naught but posit theories. With your help, however, I may now put them to the proof.
120 116 TEXT_LUCKSA002_03835_MIKOTO_000_176 And you, Master Gerolt, shall be my first test subject.
121 117 TEXT_LUCKSA002_03835_MIKOTO_000_250 <Split(<Highlight>ObjectParameter(1)</Highlight>, ,1)/>, I would like you to recall the last time you experienced the Echo. Concentrate on that feeling. Master Gerolt, I need you to recall a memory of the past. It may be anything you like.
122 118 TEXT_LUCKSA002_03835_GEROLT_000_251 Ye better not go pokin' around in there, diggin' up somethin' unsavory like, ye hear, lass?
123 119 TEXT_LUCKSA002_03835_MIKOTO_000_252 Please, Master Gerolt. Focus!
124 120 TEXT_LUCKSA002_03835_MIKOTO_000_253 This is...most unexpected. For reasons I cannot yet explain, it appears the Echo has allowed me to accompany you into his memory.
125 121 TEXT_LUCKSA002_03835_ROWENA_000_254 You're a skilled smith, Gerolt, there's no denyin' that. But you hold money about as well as your liquor.
126 122 TEXT_LUCKSA002_03835_GEROLT_000_255 Well what bloody good is money if ye can't spend it? A man has to live a little, Rowena.
127 123 TEXT_LUCKSA002_03835_ROWENA_000_256 Aye, and it wouldn't hurt for a man to use his head, neither. With all that talent o' yours, I reckon you could've amassed a small fortune by now. Could've been <Emphasis>you</Emphasis> sittin' on the Syndicate instead o' Godbert.

129 125 TEXT_LUCKSA002_03835_GEROLT_000_258 Didn't realize me memory was so sharp.
130 126 TEXT_LUCKSA002_03835_MIKOTO_000_259 As you can see, implicit memory is surprisingly comprehensive. From the clear skies and ocean waves, down to the exact words of your conversation─everything appears to have been perfectly preserved.
131 127 TEXT_LUCKSA002_03835_GEROLT_000_260 Ye...ye weren't listenin' to that, were ye?
132 128 TEXT_LUCKSA002_03835_ROWENA_000_261 Every time someone gives you good advice, you turn around and do the complete soddin' opposite! I used to like that rebellious streak of yours, but now I see you're just a bloody idiot. <sigh> Honestly, I don't know what I ever saw in you.
133 129 TEXT_LUCKSA002_03835_GEROLT_000_262 Whatever it is ye think ye saw, it ain't as if I've changed since then.
134 130 TEXT_LUCKSA002_03835_GEROLT_000_263 And ye haven't neither... Still as beautiful as the day we met.

136 132 TEXT_LUCKSA002_03835_MIKOTO_000_265 Implicit memories, while quite comprehensive, are not always true to fact. In the case of painful or otherwise undesirable experiences, they can be obfuscated to protect oneself from hard truths.
137 133 TEXT_LUCKSA002_03835_MIKOTO_000_266 Our perception of reality can also distort them as well, even when first committed to the mind. Then, as time passes, such distortions can grow. Happy memories become more joyous, sad ones all the more bitter.
138 134 TEXT_LUCKSA002_03835_MIKOTO_000_267 Explicit memory is particularly sensitive to such misrepresentations of events, for man is wont to remember what is most convenient for his worldview. That is why we seek the implicit, for there we are most like to find the truth.
139 135 TEXT_LUCKSA002_03835_GEROLT_000_268 The truth!? Rowena and me were only here a week ago! Don't tell me my memory's that bleedin' unreliable!
140 136 TEXT_LUCKSA002_03835_MIKOTO_000_269 A self-imposed delusion, perhaps. As I said before, the mind has ways of concealing painful memories.
141 137 TEXT_LUCKSA002_03835_GEROLT_000_270 I, er... I ain't feelin' so well. If you'll excuse me.
142 138 TEXT_LUCKSA002_03835_MIKOTO_000_271 As you can see, these crystals allow us to choose specific points in a person's past to observe at will. Unlike the Echo, however, what we see will not always be as it really was.
143 139 TEXT_LUCKSA002_03835_BAISHAEN_000_272 Yet there still remains the matter of finding one who has seen the replica weapons and their inscriptions.
144 140 TEXT_LUCKSA002_03835_MARSHAK_000_273 At this present juncture, we might as well be looking for a ghost.
145 141 TEXT_LUCKSA002_03835_MARSHAK_000_274 After the Garlean invasion of Bozja, it was all but cut off from the world. None were allowed in or out, meaning all of its residents─and likely any who may have glimpsed the weapons─died when the citadel was destroyed.
146 142 TEXT_LUCKSA002_03835_MARSHAK_000_275 ...Hmm. What about soldiers stationed there who were away at the time of the incident? Bah, even if we were able to find them, I doubt they could be persuaded to cooperate.

152 148 TEXT_LUCKSA002_03835_BAISHAEN_000_281 Cid...? Cid Garlond? Son of the monster behind the Meteor project?
153 149 TEXT_LUCKSA002_03835_MARSHAK_000_282 Come to think of it, Yugiri mentioned that Doma and the Eorzean Alliance have been receiving support from Garlond Ironworks.
154 150 TEXT_LUCKSA002_03835_MARSHAK_000_283 I thought that the company should use such a moniker mere happenstance, but... You mean to say Cid Garlond owns this company?

196 192 TEXT_LUCKSA002_03835_BAISHAEN_100_201 Our earliest records─or at least those we have been able to recover─suggest Bozja was founded at some point during the Third Astral Era. The Allagan Empire had reached the height of its power, and several tribes of the Hrothgar came here seeking refuge from their supremacy.
197 193 TEXT_LUCKSA002_03835_BAISHAEN_100_202 It was Queen Gunnhildr who would keep the Allagans at bay. Her radiance would light our path to prosperity, and by her grace was the nation of Bozja founded.

199 195 TEXT_LUCKSA002_03835_BAISHAEN_100_204 The Garlean Empire's rise to power changed everything. None could oppose the sheer strength and versatility of their military.

205 201 TEXT_LUCKSA002_03835_BAISHAEN_100_301 For a blessing, the surrounding wetlands and the fog that persists year-round have served to conceal our operation. That is not to say, of course, we have not taken additional measures to remain hidden.
206 202 TEXT_LUCKSA002_03835_BAISHAEN_100_302 In the unlikely event that their scouts should approach the perimeter, our mages have cast a cloaking spell around the area to keep us from sight.

209 205 TEXT_LUCKSA002_03835_BAISHAEN_100_400 It was roughly twenty years ago, if I'm not mistaken. The Empire, fearful of the threat posed by primals and the tribes who summoned them, devised a plan to wipe them out.

211 207 TEXT_LUCKSA002_03835_BAISHAEN_100_402 At the helm of the project was their chief engineer, Midas nan Garlond. In time, every last one of their research facilities was involved in its development.
212 208 TEXT_LUCKSA002_03835_BAISHAEN_100_403 The project would take a perilous turn when it was discovered that the lesser moon Dalamud was, in fact, a satellite of Allagan design. They were determined to make it part of their plans.
213 209 TEXT_LUCKSA002_03835_BAISHAEN_100_404 And so they erected a colossal transmission tower, designed to control Dalamud. Its first test would also prove to be its last...
214 210 TEXT_LUCKSA002_03835_BAISHAEN_100_405 For lack of eyewitnesses, what happened next is difficult to describe. It is often described as an explosion, but the ruins showed no signs of gunpowder or magick. We only know that a terrible light shone from the heavens that night.
215 211 TEXT_LUCKSA002_03835_BAISHAEN_100_406 In an instant, the citadel was gone. Its citizens and soldiers...my family...

221 217 TEXT_LUCKSA002_03835_BAISHAEN_100_502 My service was ultimately rewarded with citizenship, after which I met my wife, and we started a family together.

223 219 TEXT_LUCKSA002_03835_BAISHAEN_100_504 We returned as fast as we were able, but there was nothing left of the citadel.

239 235 TEXT_LUCKSA002_03835_MARSHAK_200_200 The initial invasion of Bozja was led by Basch van Gabranth. There would be a change of commander not long after, however.
240 236 TEXT_LUCKSA002_03835_MARSHAK_200_201 Thirty years ago, during the invasion of Dalmasca, his health took an unexpected turn for the worse, and his son, Noah van Gabranth, oversaw the conquest to its completion. He was a mere twenty years old when he assumed full command.
241 237 TEXT_LUCKSA002_03835_MARSHAK_200_202 The IVth Imperial Legion itself is rather unique compared to most, for the bulk of their forces are not native Garleans, their present leader included.
242 238 TEXT_LUCKSA002_03835_MARSHAK_200_203 Both Noah and his father were quite quick to bend the knee to Emperor Solus, from what I have been told. Perhaps it was that ardent loyalty that helped them rise to such prominence.
243 239 TEXT_LUCKSA002_03835_MARSHAK_200_204 But not all were such fervent followers of the Empire. Quite the contrary, I would hazard the greater part of their soldiers were like us, seeing little recourse but to serve lest they be put to the sword.
244 240 TEXT_LUCKSA002_03835_MARSHAK_200_205 Though I suppose the unwavering loyalty of the IVth Imperial Legion is what serves to set it apart from the rest. Or to be more precise, its loyalty to Noah van Gabranth.
245 241 TEXT_LUCKSA002_03835_MARSHAK_200_206 What's more, you will come to find they are not wont to rely on magitek armaments like most imperial soldiers.
246 242 TEXT_LUCKSA002_03835_MARSHAK_200_207 Indeed, they seem to prefer fighting the old-fashioned way, employing arcane magicks, techniques akin to summoning, and all manner of feral beasts rather than depending on heavy artillery.

249 245 TEXT_LUCKSA002_03835_MARSHAK_200_300 Ah yes, the leader of the IVth Imperial Legion, one of the youngest to ever take such a position. His father, Basch van Gabranth, served as legatus before him, claiming many a victory in the name of the Empire.
250 246 TEXT_LUCKSA002_03835_MARSHAK_200_301 Basch was a knight of the Republic of Landis which, like so many other nations, was fast to fall at the hands of the Empire. Rather than die with dignity, he was quite quick to bend the knee to their conquerors, ingratiating himself with the Emperor and earning his place as a legatus.
251 247 TEXT_LUCKSA002_03835_MARSHAK_200_302 This was quite a feat, given that he was not of Garlean blood. One can but imagine the lengths to which he went to earn their trust, but it is clear he labored hard to keep it.
252 248 TEXT_LUCKSA002_03835_MARSHAK_200_303 His health took an unexpected turn for the worse during the invasion of Dalmasca, which afforded Noah the opportunity he needed to rise to prominence. And it was under Noah's leadership that Rabanastre would fall.
253 249 TEXT_LUCKSA002_03835_MARSHAK_200_304 Then, when his father passed two years later, he was named the next legatus of the IVth Imperial Legion.
254 250 TEXT_LUCKSA002_03835_MARSHAK_200_305 Many believe it was the conquest of Dalmasca that earned him the position, but some argue he was appointed on the recommendation of the Emperor, perhaps in recognition of his father's service to the Empire.
255 251 TEXT_LUCKSA002_03835_MARSHAK_200_306 Regardless of the reason, Noah would continue in his father's footsteps. The IVth Imperial Legion would continue to be comprised primarily of foreign soldiers, and their loyalty to the newly appointed legatus was unfaltering.
256 252 TEXT_LUCKSA002_03835_MARSHAK_200_307 One might expect such a legion to remain within the Emperor's good graces, but it would not be so when Varis took the throne. For several years he appointed them to the quelling of uprisings in remote provinces, as if to keep them at arm's length.
257 253 TEXT_LUCKSA002_03835_MARSHAK_200_308 Perhaps he suspected an ulterior motive to the Gabranths seeking to gain such fervent adoration from the IVth Imperial Legion. I have no proof, of course, but one cannot help but wonder...

259 255 TEXT_LUCKSA002_03835_MARSHAK_200_401 Its position to the north of Bozja will make it a critical strategic point in the battles to come. If we are to have any hope of reclaiming Bozja, we must first gain control of the castrum.
260 256 TEXT_LUCKSA002_03835_MARSHAK_200_402 The location was originally chosen for its natural defenses. Being surrounded on all sides by steep cliffs made Alamut Fortress all but impregnable. Assuming, of course, one had the wherewithal to defend it.
261 257 TEXT_LUCKSA002_03835_MARSHAK_200_403 When the Garleans came, their magitek weaponry was unlike anything we had ever seen. A great many lives were lost in our struggle to hold the fortress, and in the end we were simply outmatched.
262 258 TEXT_LUCKSA002_03835_MARSHAK_200_404 At present, the castrum is held by Legatus Gabranth's second-in-command, Menenius rem Lanatus. An interesting choice, to say the least.
263 259 TEXT_LUCKSA002_03835_MARSHAK_200_405 Lanatus is a well-known family with a long and august lineage. That is, until they incurred the ire of the Emperor, tarnishing their name and robbing them of their position in Garlean society.
264 260 TEXT_LUCKSA002_03835_MARSHAK_200_406 And yet Basch van Gabranth would choose members of their family to serve under him. Mayhap he sensed their desperation to redeem their honor. If that is the case, the road to redemption is long indeed, for two generations of Lanatus have served under the Gabranths.
265 261 TEXT_LUCKSA002_03835_MARSHAK_200_407 Imagine the recognition they would receive for thwarting our attempts to take the fortress. You can be sure he will do all in his power to stop us.

267 263 TEXT_LUCKSA002_03835_MARSHAK_200_501 You...wish to know of my past? It is no different than most, I would imagine─conscription by the Empire, which is the only reason I was not present in the citadel to die alongside my kin in the Bozja incident.
268 264 TEXT_LUCKSA002_03835_MARSHAK_200_502 Some would call it a massacre planned by the Empire, but I am not ready to believe they would willingly kill so many of their own soldiers and engineers.

282 278 TEXT_LUCKSA002_03835_MEESIYA_400_201 It should be noted that Gunnhildr was not her name, but rather a title bestowed to the current monarch of any given age. The common thread connecting all rulers of Bozja is their ability to read the stars. There were others who shared in this ability, but they were said to be the greatest seers of their respective ages.
283 279 TEXT_LUCKSA002_03835_MEESIYA_400_202 They were also said to be great warriors. When doing battle with the Allagans or any other would-be invaders, the queen could always be found commanding from the front lines.
284 280 TEXT_LUCKSA002_03835_MEESIYA_400_203 Alas, Bozja would fall in the wake of the Fourth Umbral Calamity. By some miracle, some few survived and were able to build what we knew as the city-state of Bozja.
285 281 TEXT_LUCKSA002_03835_MEESIYA_400_300 They were the elite guard of the queen, masters of myriad arms and magicks, said to be the greatest warriors of their age.
286 282 TEXT_LUCKSA002_03835_MEESIYA_400_301 Their combat prowess was matched only by their devotion to Queen Gunnhildr. They would not hesitate to give their lives in her service. And, should one of these warriors fall in battle, their holy blade would be passed on to a suitable successor.
287 283 TEXT_LUCKSA002_03835_MEESIYA_400_302 Over time, their title as Gunnhildr's Blades would become synonymous with the gunblade, which gained great renown during the war against the Allagans.
288 284 TEXT_LUCKSA002_03835_MEESIYA_400_303 There is not a Bozjan alive who does not know the tales of their heroism. I have no doubt reforging these weapons will lend us both the strength and resolve we need to succeed.
289 285 TEXT_LUCKSA002_03835_MEESIYA_400_400 With Master Gerolt's help, we have nearly all that is required to reforge the weapons of Queen Gunnhildr's guard.
290 286 TEXT_LUCKSA002_03835_MEESIYA_400_401 While it is true the legends of their might are duly inspiring, to simply call them the blades of Gunnhildr would do little to differentiate these new armaments from the weapons of eld. After all, we do not wish to give the impression that the originals have been recovered.
291 287 TEXT_LUCKSA002_03835_MEESIYA_400_402 After much thought, Master Gerolt offered a simple and surprisingly satisfactory suggestion of “resistance weapons.”
292 288 TEXT_LUCKSA002_03835_MEESIYA_400_403 He also went on to make a rather curious remark about the steps to be taken in their forging: that these weapons can be enhanced further in accordance with the enemies one faces.
293 289 TEXT_LUCKSA002_03835_MEESIYA_400_404 By the sounds of it, these weapons are never truly complete until their purpose is fulfilled.
294 290 TEXT_LUCKSA002_03835_MEESIYA_400_500 It has been two years since I joined the resistance. Before then I lived as all Bozjans did─under the harsh rule of the Empire.
295 291 TEXT_LUCKSA002_03835_MEESIYA_400_501 It is the only life I have ever known, though my parents often spoke to me of what they remembered from the days of Bozja's independence.
296 292 TEXT_LUCKSA002_03835_MEESIYA_400_502 Though it was under the auspices of our Garlean oppressors, I was educated in prehistoric archaeology.
297 293 TEXT_LUCKSA002_03835_MEESIYA_400_503 While I am thankful for the opportunities it afforded me, I could not turn a blind eye to the suffering of my people. And so I left to join the resistance.
298 294 TEXT_LUCKSA002_03835_MEESIYA_400_504 It was I who proposed to reforge the fabled weapons of Queen Gunnhildr's guard, and Bajsaljen has chosen to place his faith in my plan. I take heart in knowing all I learned from the Empire will be put to good use.
299 295 TEXT_LUCKSA002_03835_MIKOTO_020_000 Our exploration of Master Gerolt's memories was a success. Largely in part to his trust in you, I suspect.
300 296 TEXT_LUCKSA002_03835_MIKOTO_020_001 And how fortunate for us that you should also be a good acquaintance of Cid's. I'm sure there is much you must do to prepare, so I will not keep you.
301 297 TEXT_LUCKSA002_03835_MIKOTO_020_002 ...Was there something else?
302 298 TEXT_LUCKSA002_03835_Q40_000_000 What will you say?
303 299 TEXT_LUCKSA002_03835_A40_000_000 Tell me about the seers.
304 300 TEXT_LUCKSA002_03835_A40_000_001 Tell me about the crystal focus.
305 301 TEXT_LUCKSA002_03835_A40_000_002 Tell me about memory exploration.
306 302 TEXT_LUCKSA002_03835_A40_000_003 Tell me about your gift.
307 303 TEXT_LUCKSA002_03835_A40_000_004 Tell me about yourself.
308 304 TEXT_LUCKSA002_03835_A40_000_0010 Nothing.
309 305 TEXT_LUCKSA002_03835_MIKOTO_300_200 Scant though they are, the records we have uncovered thus far suggest the practices of seers date back as far as the Fourth Astral Era.
310 306 TEXT_LUCKSA002_03835_MIKOTO_300_201 The region was plagued with all manner of natural disasters in those days, inciting great unrest not only amongst the Bozjans, but neighboring nations as well.
311 307 TEXT_LUCKSA002_03835_MIKOTO_300_202 It was during these tumultuous times seers first appeared. In fact, I have reason to believe they possessed the Echo.
312 308 TEXT_LUCKSA002_03835_MIKOTO_300_203 Using a crystal focus, they were able to delve into the minds of the downcast and the heartsick, seeking out their darkest memories and altering them to ease the peoples' burdens.
313 309 TEXT_LUCKSA002_03835_MIKOTO_300_204 Perhaps they saw the altering of minds as a necessity for their survival, but we must consider the ethical implications of such methods in this day and age. I have no doubt my betters in Sharlayan would consider it to be reprehensible.
314 310 TEXT_LUCKSA002_03835_MIKOTO_300_300 My initial analysis of the crystals suggest they are man-made. Nothing in my data can prove the materials are unique to this region, which leads me to believe the Bozjans─or rather, the seers─created them.
315 311 TEXT_LUCKSA002_03835_MIKOTO_300_301 However, given the intricate lattices found in these crystals, it seems highly improbable that the Bozjans could have produced them, considering the methods available to them in the Fourth Astral Era.
316 312 TEXT_LUCKSA002_03835_MIKOTO_300_302 In fact, on closer inspection, it became clear that its structure is quite similar to that found in Allagan constructs.
317 313 TEXT_LUCKSA002_03835_MIKOTO_300_303 Which then begs the question: who were the seers, and whence did they come? This is but a working theory, but I suspect their roots can be traced back to the Allagans themselves─perhaps survivors of the Fourth Umbral Calamity who wished to atone for the sins of their forebears.
318 314 TEXT_LUCKSA002_03835_MIKOTO_300_304 They came to these lands seeking a means to help the Bozjans, and in doing so created these crystal foci.
319 315 TEXT_LUCKSA002_03835_MIKOTO_300_305 ...Ahem. As I said, 'tis but a working theory. Though I understand if it sounds more like a flight of fancy.
320 316 TEXT_LUCKSA002_03835_MIKOTO_300_400 Perhaps I should start with a simple explanation, as I did before. Let us consider the composition of a person's aether, shall we? There is corporeal aether of the flesh, incorporeal aether of the soul, and the aetherial residue of an individual's memories.
321 317 TEXT_LUCKSA002_03835_MIKOTO_300_401 Were one to be possessed of only corporeal aether, they would be but a walking corpse. Conversely, entities comprised of only incorporeal aether are referred to in layman's terms as ghosts. Of course, a ghost that possesses residual memories could likely recall its past and retain self-awareness.
322 318 TEXT_LUCKSA002_03835_MIKOTO_300_402 Using a crystal focus, we can isolate the aetherial signature of memories, much in the same way the seers did. We can then delve into and explore specific memories conjured by the subject.
323 319 TEXT_LUCKSA002_03835_MIKOTO_300_403 We must be careful of what we observe, however, for while the information stored in a person's memories can be quite comprehensive, it is not always true to fact. They can be distorted due to the passage of time, or even when first committed to the mind as a result of personal bias.
324 320 TEXT_LUCKSA002_03835_MIKOTO_300_404 That is why it is important to mark the distinction between explicit and implicit memories.
325 321 TEXT_LUCKSA002_03835_MIKOTO_300_405 Explicit memories are those consciously stored and recalled, while implicit memories are more passively accumulated by our subconscious.
326 322 TEXT_LUCKSA002_03835_MIKOTO_300_406 When meeting someone for the first time, their appearance will be kept as part of our explicit memory, though this may fade with the passing of time. Should a great deal of time pass without meeting, however, such recollection can prove difficult.
327 323 TEXT_LUCKSA002_03835_MIKOTO_300_407 Yet in that moment, your mind also takes record of everything experienced by your sensory nervous system.
328 324 TEXT_LUCKSA002_03835_MIKOTO_300_408 Unfortunately, information called from explicit memory is quite sensitive to misrepresentations of events. After all, if an individual is actively choosing to recall an event, who is to say they will not make alterations to better suit their liking?
329 325 TEXT_LUCKSA002_03835_MIKOTO_300_409 That is why we seek information from implicit memory, which is more likely to be preserved free of the bias of an individual's worldview.
330 326 TEXT_LUCKSA002_03835_MIKOTO_300_500 The Echo can manifest itself in myriad ways dependent on the individual. I was gifted with the ability to peer into the future.
331 327 TEXT_LUCKSA002_03835_MIKOTO_300_501 It is a power much like prophetic dreams and divinations, and yet quite different, for such visions only tell of the future's potential.
332 328 TEXT_LUCKSA002_03835_MIKOTO_300_502 The Echo does not show me what may happen, but what <Emphasis>will</Emphasis> happen.
333 329 TEXT_LUCKSA002_03835_MIKOTO_300_503 Scholars speculate Mezaya Thousand Eyes too shared this gift, hence the alarming accuracy of the passages writ in her <Emphasis>Divine Chronicles</Emphasis>.
334 330 TEXT_LUCKSA002_03835_MIKOTO_300_504 These visions are a decidedly rare occurrence, usually containing some crucial insight into matters presently unfolding before me. For better or worse, I have never had visions of an impending threat on my life or those around me.
335 331 TEXT_LUCKSA002_03835_MIKOTO_300_505 Not that I would want to see such things, of course. Could you imagine, knowing of certain doom that cannot be avoided?
336 332 TEXT_LUCKSA002_03835_MIKOTO_300_506 I once spoke of my visions to an acquaintance─a relatively harmless glimpse of the future─and it resulted in a terrible argument. I fear I could not bear the weight of grimmer tidings...
337 333 TEXT_LUCKSA002_03835_MIKOTO_300_507 But that is neither here nor there. My gift is but a trivial thing. Nothing you should think to rely upon.
338 334 TEXT_LUCKSA002_03835_MIKOTO_300_600 About me!? Oh, there really isn't much to tell, I assure you!
339 335 TEXT_LUCKSA002_03835_MIKOTO_300_601 Well, if you must know... Due to advanced placement I found myself attending the Studium much earlier than most. My research in the field of aetherology would eventually earn me the title of Archon. When I am not conducting research in the field, I conduct lectures at the Studium.
340 336 TEXT_LUCKSA002_03835_MIKOTO_300_602 Moenbryda is, er...was...my mentor. I would not be the scholar I am today if not for her. I have fond memories of the many nights we toiled together working on her original plans for the aetheric siphon. She was like a sister to me.
341 337 TEXT_LUCKSA002_03835_MIKOTO_300_603 Speaking of which, I do have a sister, actually. An identical twin, in fact. Though we have not spoken since she too was named an Archon.
342 338 TEXT_LUCKSA002_03835_MIKOTO_300_604 She was my better in all aspects of academia, but she often disagreed with the views of the Forum. I can but assume that is why she took her leave of the Studium.
343 339 TEXT_LUCKSA002_03835_MIKOTO_300_605 She was always so strong-willed and quite critical of those around her. Sadly, we never got along very well growing up. I often wonder if that is why Moenbryda was so quick to take me under her wing.
344 340 TEXT_LUCKSA002_03835_MIKOTO_300_606 I still see her, in my dreams. Always offering a warm smile and words of encouragement.
345 341 TEXT_LUCKSA002_03835_MIKOTO_300_607 If we were to use the crystal focus, perhaps there would be a way to speak with her again. A tempting prospect, but in the end, I know it would not truly be her...
