54,"TEXT_STMBDR205_03035_CID_000_022","You've encountered some fantastical foes in here, but this time you'll have the novel experience of fighting an actual person. His name is “Kefka”...and he's a jester."

56,"TEXT_STMBDR205_03035_CID_000_024","Apparently, he found comedy in the tragedies of others, and condemned countless thousands to death for his own amusement."

58,"TEXT_STMBDR205_03035_NERO_000_026","Nevertheless, we must treat this villain with all seriousness. His rise to godhood and subsequent rule over a shattered world is clearly documented in the records."

63,"TEXT_STMBDR205_03035_NERO_000_031","To put it bluntly, Kefka will seek to deceive you. Even as you predict his actions and adjust your position, his true attack will reveal the feint for what it was."

I have tuned this monitor to allow me to observe the Sigmascape with greatly enhanced clarity."

67,"TEXT_STMBDR205_03035_NERO_000_035","I predict a fifty percent chance of success! Any delay, however slight, in reacting to his feints will render my warnings all but pointless!"

70,"TEXT_STMBDR205_03035_CID_000_038","Make what preparations you need, and head into the Sigmascape. We can't let this jester have the last laugh!"

53 49 TEXT_STMBDR205_03035_ALPHA_000_005 Kweh...
54 50 TEXT_STMBDR205_03035_GARLONDGATEKEEPER_000_010 Good <If(LessThan(PlayerParameter(11),12))><If(LessThan(PlayerParameter(11),4))>evening<Else/>morrow</If><Else/><If(LessThan(PlayerParameter(11),17))>day<Else/>evening</If></If> to you, <If(PlayerParameter(4))>madam<Else/>sir</If>. Will you be descending into the Yawn?
55 51 TEXT_STMBDR205_03035_SYSTEM_000_011 Enter the Interdimensional Rift?
56 52 TEXT_STMBDR205_03035_NERO_000_020 This is it... The final battle to conquer the... <cough> ...Sigmascape.
57 53 TEXT_STMBDR205_03035_CID_000_021 ...We've put together a profile of your next opponent.
58 54 TEXT_STMBDR205_03035_CID_000_022 You've encountered some fantastical foes in here, but this time you'll have the novel experience of fighting an actual person. His name is “Kefka”...and he's a jester.
59 55 TEXT_STMBDR205_03035_CID_000_023 According to the data, his preferred mode of fooling didn't just bring the house down, but the whole world.
60 56 TEXT_STMBDR205_03035_CID_000_024 Apparently, he found comedy in the tragedies of others, and condemned countless thousands to death for his own amusement.
61 57 TEXT_STMBDR205_03035_NERO_000_025 Hm hm... That a jester should bring such misery. 'Tis almost amusing.
62 58 TEXT_STMBDR205_03035_NERO_000_026 Nevertheless, we must treat this villain with all seriousness. His rise to godhood and subsequent rule over a shattered world is clearly documented in the records.
63 59 TEXT_STMBDR205_03035_NERO_000_027 Kefka is a formidable mage, and a cunning one besides. Your tactics must account for both his power and his trickery.
64 60 TEXT_STMBDR205_03035_CID_000_028 You've been working on a solution, yes? Will it be enough?
65 61 TEXT_STMBDR205_03035_NERO_000_029 Will it be enough? Have you ever known me to do anything by halves?
66 62 TEXT_STMBDR205_03035_NERO_000_030 The jester's face paint is a mask for his intent. If you only watch the surface, you'll be fighting at a disadvantage.
67 63 TEXT_STMBDR205_03035_NERO_000_031 To put it bluntly, Kefka will seek to deceive you. Even as you predict his actions and adjust your position, his true attack will reveal the feint for what it was.
68 64 TEXT_STMBDR205_03035_NERO_000_032 This is where things become interesting... I have tuned this monitor to allow me to observe the Sigmascape with greatly enhanced clarity.
69 65 TEXT_STMBDR205_03035_NERO_000_033 If I observe a discrepancy between Kefka's behavior and the impending attack, I will endeavor to warn you. The timing will be critical, of course.
70 66 TEXT_STMBDR205_03035_CID_000_034 How confident are you of this strategy?
71 67 TEXT_STMBDR205_03035_NERO_000_035 I predict a fifty percent chance of success! Any delay, however slight, in reacting to his feints will render my warnings all but pointless!
72 68 TEXT_STMBDR205_03035_NERO_000_036 Isn't it exciting? There is no safe way to practice this, hero─we must test our tactics on the field of battle!
73 69 TEXT_STMBDR205_03035_CID_000_037 ...I'm afraid he's right. I'll lend you all the support I can from this side.
74 70 TEXT_STMBDR205_03035_CID_000_038 Make what preparations you need, and head into the Sigmascape. We can't let this jester have the last laugh!
75 71 TEXT_STMBDR205_03035_NERO_000_039 “Embrace your destruction... It is the fate of all things.”
76 72 TEXT_STMBDR205_03035_NERO_100_039 “But people can always rebuild, and new lives will always be born!”
77 73 TEXT_STMBDR205_03035_NERO_000_040 ...A fragmented conversation that accompanied Kefka's data. His was the first line, but there was no mention of who uttered the reply.
78 74 TEXT_STMBDR205_03035_Q1_000_041 What will you say?
79 75 TEXT_STMBDR205_03035_A1_000_042 You admire this villain.
80 76 TEXT_STMBDR205_03035_A1_000_043 In life, there is always hope.
81 77 TEXT_STMBDR205_03035_A1_000_044 ...
82 78 TEXT_STMBDR205_03035_NERO_000_045 ...Perhaps. I admire the idea of upsetting the status quo.
83 79 TEXT_STMBDR205_03035_NERO_000_046 Go on, champion. I tire of waiting for the fun to begin.
84 80 TEXT_STMBDR205_03035_NERO_000_047 ...How predictably forthright of you. I'm sure it was a hero much like yourself who gave the original response.
85 81 TEXT_STMBDR205_03035_NERO_000_048 Go on, champion. I tire of waiting for the fun to begin.
86 82 TEXT_STMBDR205_03035_NERO_000_049 ...Never mind. Go on, champion. I tire of waiting for the fun to begin.
87 83 TEXT_STMBDR205_03035_CID_000_050 Let's see this through, <Split(<Highlight>ObjectParameter(1)</Highlight>, ,1)/>. One battle at a time!
88 84 TEXT_STMBDR205_03035_NERO_000_055 Are you asking my permission? By all means, let's get things underway.
89 85 TEXT_STMBDR205_03035_ALPHA_000_060 Kweh! Kweh, kweh kweh, kweh!
90 86 TEXT_STMBDR205_03035_SYSTEM_000_061 Alpha is clearly poised to spring into action. You may enter Sigmascape V4.0 whenever you are ready.
91 87 TEXT_STMBDR205_03035_ALPHA_000_070 Kweh! Kweh, kweh kweh, kweh!
92 88 TEXT_STMBDR205_03035_CID_000_080 ...That's it, isn't it? <If(PlayerParameter(4))>She<Else/>He</If>'s won!
93 89 TEXT_STMBDR205_03035_OMEGA_000_081 (-Omega-)<blip> This contest has been decided. Alpha group is victorious.
94 90 TEXT_STMBDR205_03035_OMEGA_000_082 (-Omega-)The Sigmascape test world will now be erased.
95 91 TEXT_STMBDR205_03035_CID_000_083 Come on! We should go and find <Split(<Highlight>ObjectParameter(1)</Highlight>, ,1)/>!
96 92 TEXT_STMBDR205_03035_CID_000_084 Nero!?
97 93 TEXT_STMBDR205_03035_CID_000_085 Talk to me, man! Are you hurt!?
98 94 TEXT_STMBDR205_03035_NERO_000_086 You could say that... I had a “visitor” while you were attending your little Ironworks reunion.
99 95 TEXT_STMBDR205_03035_CID_000_087 Omega... Damn it! We should never have left you alone. Not after what happened to Biggs and Wedge.
100 96 TEXT_STMBDR205_03035_NERO_000_088 Hmph... As if I would trail along behind you...like some sniveling lapdog... No, I chose to remain...and behold the results...
101 97 TEXT_STMBDR205_03035_NERO_000_089 This was <Emphasis>my</Emphasis> victory! It was <Emphasis>my</Emphasis> ingenuity that defeated these foes! Even your precious Warrior of Light... <cough> ...was just another variable in my grand experiments!
102 98 TEXT_STMBDR205_03035_CID_000_090 All right, Nero, save your strength. I'll fetch <Split(<Highlight>ObjectParameter(1)</Highlight>, ,1)/> and Alpha, and then we can get out of here.
103 99 TEXT_STMBDR205_03035_NERO_000_091 Garlond...
104 100 TEXT_STMBDR205_03035_NERO_100_091 ...The next round is yours.
105 101 TEXT_STMBDR205_03035_NERO_000_092 But you can't keep holding back... It's time to unfetter that brilliant mind of yours. To do what must be done.
106 102 TEXT_STMBDR205_03035_NERO_000_093 And I'm not just talking about what becomes of Omega.
107 103 TEXT_STMBDR205_03035_NERO_000_094 You cannot preach “Freedom through Technology” and keep yourself locked up in chains...
108 104 TEXT_STMBDR205_03035_MIDGARDSORMR_000_100 Another battle won... Thy might knoweth no bounds, child of man.
109 105 TEXT_STMBDR205_03035_OMEGA_000_101 (-Omega-)<blip> The Sigmascape has been terminated. Congratulations, Alpha group. Congratulations, <Highlight>ObjectParameter(1)</Highlight>.
110 106 TEXT_STMBDR205_03035_OMEGA_000_102 (-Omega-)Consistent with previous performances, you have once more defeated a foe of vastly superior combat capabilities. I have constructed a theory to explain this phenomenon.
111 107 TEXT_STMBDR205_03035_OMEGA_000_103 (-Omega-)In order to conserve life energy, you subconsciously limit your output during standard activity.
112 108 TEXT_STMBDR205_03035_OMEGA_000_104 (-Omega-)I have taken this factor into account when calculating your potential, but judging by the wild fluctuation in values, is it possible your limits are exceeded by an unpredictably high degree when engaged in battle?
113 109 TEXT_STMBDR205_03035_OMEGA_000_105 (-Omega-)<bloop> Current data unreliable. Accuracy of further experiments may be compromised. Recalculations necessary.
114 110 TEXT_STMBDR205_03035_OMEGA_000_106 (-Omega-)You will exhibit your full potential, unrestricted by self-imposed limits.
115 111 TEXT_STMBDR205_03035_OMEGA_000_107 (-Omega-)Prediction. Placing subject in mortal peril will facilitate the collection of desired data.
116 112 TEXT_STMBDR205_03035_OMEGA_000_108 (-Omega-)Reveal your power. Let me measure the extent of your existence.
117 113 TEXT_STMBDR205_03035_OMEGA_000_109 (-Omega-)In precisely one hundred and eighty seconds, I will terminate your life. You are to attempt escape with every last reserve of strength you possess.
118 114 TEXT_STMBDR205_03035_OMEGA_000_110 (-Omega-)Alpha. Your participation is unnecessary. Do not interfere.
119 115 TEXT_STMBDR205_03035_MIDGARDSORMR_000_111 ...Curious. 'Twould seem the circumstances of thy birth taint not the purity of thy life. The seed which all mortals nurture is found within thee too, Alpha.
120 116 TEXT_STMBDR205_03035_MIDGARDSORMR_000_112 As for thee, Omega... After the passing of eons, is this truly the extent of thine evolution? I have glimpsed the core of thy wretched existence, and judge that my guidance here is no longer needed...
121 117 TEXT_STMBDR205_03035_MIDGARDSORMR_000_113 Even I cannot fully bend the rules which govern this place. I have reached beyond my strength at the last...
122 118 TEXT_STMBDR205_03035_MIDGARDSORMR_000_114 But so be it. Such a death becometh thee not!
123 119 TEXT_STMBDR205_03035_MIDGARDSORMR_000_115 To slumber shall I betake me for a time. The incarnation I leave with thee will be mine in form, but not in spirit.
124 120 TEXT_STMBDR205_03035_OMEGA_000_116 (-Omega-)Midgardsormr... Again, your actions are incomprehensible.
125 121 TEXT_STMBDR205_03035_MIDGARDSORMR_000_117 Heed me, empty vessel. Thine all-too-clumsy effort to draw out that which─by thine own admission─defieth thine understanding is the very height of folly.
126 122 TEXT_STMBDR205_03035_MIDGARDSORMR_000_118 Temper thy desire. Trust to the results of thine experiments. And when thou hast witnessed these mortals in the fullness of their glory, <Emphasis>then</Emphasis> mayest thou determine if the prize thou seekest is thine for the taking...
127 123 TEXT_STMBDR205_03035_OMEGA_000_119 (-Omega-)Acknowledged. Attempt to artificially elicit potential has failed. Tend to your injuries, Alpha group, and prepare for the next round of testing.
128 124 TEXT_STMBDR205_03035_CID_000_120 <Split(<Highlight>ObjectParameter(1)</Highlight>, ,1)/>! Alpha! I need your help. It's Nero, he's─
129 125 TEXT_STMBDR205_03035_CID_000_121 ...'Twould seem we all have a tale to share. But not here. Come on, we're leaving!
130 126 TEXT_STMBDR205_03035_ALPHA_000_125 Kweh...
131 127 TEXT_STMBDR205_03035_GARLONDGATEKEEPER_000_130 <If(PlayerParameter(4))>Madam<Else/>Sir</If>! The chief has already departed for Rhalgr's Reach. A few of our people were on hand to help him transport Nero.
132 128 TEXT_STMBDR205_03035_GARLONDGATEKEEPER_000_131 Oh, and I was told to tell you that Jessie expects a full report as soon as it's convenient. And by that, she generally means “now.”
133 129 TEXT_STMBDR205_03035_GARLONDGATEKEEPER_000_140 If you haven't spoken with Jessie yet, it's probably best not to keep her waiting! Not to worry: I'll keep curious travelers from tumbling into the Yawn.
134 130 TEXT_STMBDR205_03035_ALPHA_000_145 Kweh...?
135 131 TEXT_STMBDR205_03035_JESSIE_000_150 <Split(<Highlight>ObjectParameter(1)</Highlight>, ,1)/>! I was told you'd made it out of the hole, but nothing beats seeing you with my own two eyes.
136 132 TEXT_STMBDR205_03035_JESSIE_000_151 In case you're wondering, Nero was taken straight to the infirmary. The chief should be back soon with news if you don't mind waiting...
137 133 TEXT_STMBDR205_03035_JESSIE_000_152 Chief. ...How is he?
138 134 TEXT_STMBDR205_03035_CID_000_153 Not good. It seems one of Omega's nastier minions paid him a visit in our absence. He's putting on a brave face, but having seen his injuries, I'm surprised he kept going for as long as he did.
139 135 TEXT_STMBDR205_03035_CID_000_154 The chirurgeon's confined him to bed. Even should Omega extend its next “invitation,” Nero won't be coming with us.
140 136 TEXT_STMBDR205_03035_CID_000_155 ...Midgardsormr is taking a lengthy nap now, isn't he? And it won't be long before our base camp is lost to the rift again...
141 137 TEXT_STMBDR205_03035_JESSIE_000_156 When the time comes, I'll join the expedition myself. The challenges will only get harder, and you'll need someone reliable at your back.
142 138 TEXT_STMBDR205_03035_CID_000_157 I appreciate the offer, Jessie. And I may yet take you up on it...when the time comes.
143 139 TEXT_STMBDR205_03035_CID_000_158 But let's not make any decisions just yet. I have a lot of thinking to do─about what's happened, and about what lies ahead.
144 140 TEXT_STMBDR205_03035_ALPHA_000_159 Kweh...
145 141 TEXT_STMBDR205_03035_JESSIE_000_160 The poor thing. He seems worried...
146 142 TEXT_STMBDR205_03035_Q2_000_161 What will you say?
147 143 TEXT_STMBDR205_03035_A2_000_162 Thank you for trying to save me!
148 144 TEXT_STMBDR205_03035_A2_000_163 Don't worry─we'll get Omega in the end.
149 145 TEXT_STMBDR205_03035_ALPHA_000_164 ...Kweh!
150 146 TEXT_STMBDR205_03035_CID_000_165 Well that got a smile out of him. We may not understand what he says, but I think we can understand how he feels.
151 147 TEXT_STMBDR205_03035_CID_000_166 Right! Much as I'd like to stay and chat, we all have work to do. Sooner or later, we're going to have to face Omega itself, and we've all seen what it's capable of.
152 148 TEXT_STMBDR205_03035_CID_000_167 We need to be stronger. We need to be ready when Omega calls on us again. Let's make sure that we are.
