1,"TEXT_STMBDR601_04586_SEQ_01","The bespectacled technician turns at your approach, marveling at the serendipity of your meeting. She explains that she and her team have just begun combing through the <Emphasis>Ragnarok</Emphasis>'s flight log data, only to discover the existence of a mystery transmission─an audio message of unknown origin. The technician invites you to join her at Thaumazein, insisting that one of the flight's original passengers should be present for the moment when they finally decipher the transmission's content."
2,"TEXT_STMBDR601_04586_SEQ_02","Upon your arrival, you learn that engineers from Garlond Ironworks will be coming to assist with deciphering the message. Sure enough, you are soon joined by the inimitable Biggs and Wedge, who themselves are accompanied by Alpha and the scale model of Omega. After exchanging surprised greetings, Biggs shares his suspicion that, in its final moments, the original Omega may have somehow transferred its mind into its toylike counterpart. The contraption's newly added voice module removes all doubt, allowing the entity to confirm its identity, not to mention its ability to understand the transmitted missive. Omega's willingness to cooperate, however, is contingent upon you assisting with its investigation into certain anomalies surrounding the Final Days..."
3,"TEXT_STMBDR601_04586_SEQ_03","You agree to Omega's conditions, and it explains that there are three elements of the Scions' report which require clarification. The first of these concerns the pattern of those who succumbed to transformation during the Final Days. Motioning for Alpha to join you, it urges you to teleport your unlikely trio to Radz–at–Han."
4,"TEXT_STMBDR601_04586_SEQ_04","Once in the city, Omega hypothesizes that survivors of the Final Days will display significant strength of heart. Reasoning that a residential ward should provide suitable subjects for interrogation, you set off to question the inhabitants of Kama.
※You must be accompanied by Omega and Alpha to complete this task. Speak with either of them at the aetheryte plaza should you become separated."
5,"TEXT_STMBDR601_04586_SEQ_05","Your interviews have provided Omega with a trove of revelatory data. Seemingly overwhelmed by the input, the former weapon construct requests a quiet location to process the information it has heard.
※You must be accompanied by Omega and Alpha to complete this task. Speak with either of them at the aetheryte plaza should you become separated."
6,"TEXT_STMBDR601_04586_SEQ_06","After evaluating its initial hypothesis against the gathered evidence, Omega is struck by the inaccuracy of its assessments. Determined to identify the root of this computational conflict, Omega insists that a larger sample size of subjects is required. You conclude that Djinabaha of Ruveydah Fibers should meet the parameters set forth by your mechanical companion.
※You must be accompanied by Omega and Alpha to complete this task. Speak with either of them at the aetheryte plaza should you become separated."
7,"TEXT_STMBDR601_04586_SEQ_07","A puzzled-but-welcoming Djinabaha does his best to answer Omega's questions, though it seems his responses serve only to add to the machine's confusion. Reluctant to disturb the “deep philosophical musings” taking place, Djinabaha nevertheless ventures to ask a favor of you. He asks that you spare a moment to talk with a man by the name of Nashvan, who should be sorting inventory just outside the facility's eastern exit.
※You must be accompanied by Omega and Alpha to complete this task. Speak with either of them at the aetheryte plaza should you become separated."
8,"TEXT_STMBDR601_04586_SEQ_08","You find the man in question, and are transported back to that tragic moment in time when both his son and Ahewann were lost to the terrors of the Final Days. Nashvan's tale of sorrow and subsequent return to society leaves Omega confounded once more, the ephemeral mortal spirit as much a source of mystery as it ever was. Perhaps a change of location and objective will help further Omega's education..."

50,"TEXT_STMBDR601_04586_SCIENTIST04586_000_002","I was part of the team which designed the <Emphasis>Ragnarok</Emphasis>, you see, and we've recently begun the process of combing through the vessel's flight log data."
51,"TEXT_STMBDR601_04586_SCIENTIST04586_000_003","The primary objective of your journey to Ultima Thule was to save our star and countless others, of course, but it also provided us with an invaluable trove of information─records of places and events we could only dream of."
52,"TEXT_STMBDR601_04586_SCIENTIST04586_000_004","Your safe return gave us much to be thankful for."
53,"TEXT_STMBDR601_04586_SCIENTIST04586_000_005","As it so happens, one of the things we pulled from the log was a transmission of unknown origin. Something the ship must have intercepted during its flight..."
54,"TEXT_STMBDR601_04586_SCIENTIST04586_000_007","We believe it to be an audio message, but even our most knowledgeable scholars have been unable to decipher its content─Professor Rurusha included."
55,"TEXT_STMBDR601_04586_SCIENTIST04586_000_008","We believe it to be an audio message, but even our most talented linguists have been unable to decipher the language."
56,"TEXT_STMBDR601_04586_SCIENTIST04586_000_009","For a while there, it seemed we must accept defeat. But today may be the day that we finally solve the mystery!"
57,"TEXT_STMBDR601_04586_SCIENTIST04586_000_010","If you were so inclined, would you care to come along to Thaumazein? It seems fitting to have one of the <Emphasis>Ragnarok</Emphasis>'s original passengers present to hear history being made."
58,"TEXT_STMBDR601_04586_SCIENTIST04586_000_020","Ah, there you are! This is where we're to meet the engineers from Garlond Ironworks, who, I am told, potentially hold the key to unlocking our mystery transmission."
59,"TEXT_STMBDR601_04586_SCIENTIST04586_000_021","They should be along at any moment..."
60,"TEXT_STMBDR601_04586_BIGGS_000_022","(-???-)Sorry we're late. We had some trouble finding the right─ Gods, is that you, <Split(<Highlight>ObjectParameter(1)</Highlight>, ,1)/>!?"
61,"TEXT_STMBDR601_04586_SCIENTIST04586_000_023","Yes! The <If(PlayerParameter(4))>woman herself<Else/>man himself</If>!

64,"TEXT_STMBDR601_04586_SCIENTIST04586_000_026","Shall we pick up from where we left off, then?"
65,"TEXT_STMBDR601_04586_SCIENTIST04586_000_027","As I was saying, we think this transmission the <Emphasis>Ragnarok</Emphasis> intercepted is a message of some kind─albeit in a language entirely alien to our ears."
66,"TEXT_STMBDR601_04586_SCIENTIST04586_000_028","“Alien” being the operative word here. Considering we received the message out in the great expanse, its origin was likely some distant star."
67,"TEXT_STMBDR601_04586_SCIENTIST04586_000_029","Unfortunately, our list of off-world allies is presently rather short. Thus we were resigned to the fact that the meaning behind the message would remain beyond our understanding."
68,"TEXT_STMBDR601_04586_SCIENTIST04586_000_030","One of my colleagues, however, refused to give up. She remembered the Ironworks engineers who had been so helpful in the construction of the <Emphasis>Ragnarok</Emphasis>, and turned to them for insight into our seemingly impossible problem."
69,"TEXT_STMBDR601_04586_BIGGS_000_031","Do you know what Wedge said when he heard what was going on?"
70,"TEXT_STMBDR601_04586_BIGGS_000_032","“We should have Omega listen to it. I bet it can tell us what the message means!”"
71,"TEXT_STMBDR601_04586_BIGGS_000_033","Not the Omega you beat in the rift, of course. He's talking about the toy that trundles around with Alpha─the little model we made."
72,"TEXT_STMBDR601_04586_BIGGS_000_034","We originally designed it to follow a chosen target and not much else, but I've seen it act in ways that...well, it's like it has a mind of its own."
73,"TEXT_STMBDR601_04586_BIGGS_000_035","Then I got to thinking about those documents your lot sent the chief. The full report on the Final Days..."
74,"TEXT_STMBDR601_04586_BIGGS_000_036","In the part about Omega's civilization, it said their people discovered how to convert the mind into data and store it outside the body."
75,"TEXT_STMBDR601_04586_BIGGS_000_037","Timing being what it was, I wonder if Omega didn't somehow transfer its consciousness into our model right before you put an end to the real one."
76,"TEXT_STMBDR601_04586_BIGGS_000_038","So! In an effort to get to the bottom of that, as well as take a crack at this indecipherable message, we decided to make some modifications."
77,"TEXT_STMBDR601_04586_BIGGS_000_039","With help from Labyrinthos technicians, we've upgraded our toy Omega with a fully functional vocalization module!"
78,"TEXT_STMBDR601_04586_WEDGE_000_040","We played the transmission for Omega, and I think it's ready to share!"
79,"TEXT_STMBDR601_04586_Q1_000_041","What will you say?"
80,"TEXT_STMBDR601_04586_A1_000_042","Are you in there, Omega?"
81,"TEXT_STMBDR601_04586_A1_000_043","Ahem... Hello?"
82,"TEXT_STMBDR601_04586_OMEGA_000_044","Affirmative...if by “Omega” you are referring to my consciousness, rather than my entire former chassis, existing inside this considerably smaller frame."
83,"TEXT_STMBDR601_04586_OMEGA_000_045","...Hello. Your greeting is a standard method for initiating communication, but in this case, it was imperative that you first establish my true identity."
84,"TEXT_STMBDR601_04586_OMEGA_000_046","Without confirming I am Omega, any subsequent interaction must allow for the probability that you are wasting time addressing a mere toy."
85,"TEXT_STMBDR601_04586_OMEGA_000_047","Prediction. You will formulate several misconceptions. These, I shall preemptively dismiss based on the following facts..."
86,"TEXT_STMBDR601_04586_OMEGA_000_048","One. Vocalization module aside, this chassis remains unmodified from the design constructed by the engineers Biggs and Wedge. I evaluate its combat capabilities to be on par with a mortal infant."
87,"TEXT_STMBDR601_04586_OMEGA_000_049","Two. The mechanism which allowed me to perform an emergency transfer of my consciousness was installed in my previous body. With the destruction of that body, I am rendered incapable of replicating such a feat."
88,"TEXT_STMBDR601_04586_OMEGA_000_050","Should this current material form be destroyed or cease to function, all cognitive awareness or presence I possess will also be lost."
89,"TEXT_STMBDR601_04586_OMEGA_000_051","Conclusion. I present no threat to you or your star, nor do my projections indicate the necessity to inflict harm."
90,"TEXT_STMBDR601_04586_OMEGA_000_052","In the fraction of a moment before my annihilation in the rift, I...reexamined my directives."
91,"TEXT_STMBDR601_04586_OMEGA_000_053","If I am to fulfill my purpose as an evolving construct, then I must continue my journey for improvement for as long as I exist. I must acquire this “heart” of yours. This “strength of soul.”"
92,"TEXT_STMBDR601_04586_BIGGS_000_054","Well, there you have it. And it's not wrong about its “combat capabilities”─it'd be more likely to damage itself than the thing it was trying to attack."
93,"TEXT_STMBDR601_04586_BIGGS_000_055","But let's not forget the reason we brought you here in the first place. What about the transmission they played for you? Could you recognize the language?"
94,"TEXT_STMBDR601_04586_OMEGA_000_056","Affirmative. It was transmitted in pan-galactic basic."
95,"TEXT_STMBDR601_04586_WEDGE_000_057","Pan...galactic...basic?"
96,"TEXT_STMBDR601_04586_OMEGA_000_058","A common language in comparatively extensive usage throughout the worlds we have conquered."
97,"TEXT_STMBDR601_04586_SCIENTIST04586_000_059","Which means you can finally tell us what the message said! That <Emphasis>is</Emphasis> a language you understand, yes?"
98,"TEXT_STMBDR601_04586_OMEGA_000_060","I understand it perfectly. I am fluent in over six million distinct dialectal codings. <blip>"
99,"TEXT_STMBDR601_04586_OMEGA_000_061","My cooperation in this matter, however, is conditional."
100,"TEXT_STMBDR601_04586_OMEGA_000_062","Elaboration. Your chief Cid utilizes the floor as part of his unorthodox filing system, which allowed me to scan the report on the Final Days."
101,"TEXT_STMBDR601_04586_OMEGA_000_063","I am aware that my home star─the one you call “Alphatron”─was obliterated in the aftermath of Sir and Meteion's meeting."
102,"TEXT_STMBDR601_04586_OMEGA_000_064","The existence of dynamis has not previously factored into my projections, but I now comprehend the concept. In theory."
103,"TEXT_STMBDR601_04586_OMEGA_000_065","What fails to compute is why the Omicrons were not immune to its effects. Dynamis should have no influence on a race which possesses no “heart.”"

4 0 TEXT_STMBDR601_04586_SEQ_00 The bespectacled technician is enjoying the refreshing harbor breeze.
5 1 TEXT_STMBDR601_04586_SEQ_01 The bespectacled technician turns at your approach, marveling at the serendipity of your meeting. She explains that she and her team have just begun combing through the <Emphasis>Ragnarok</Emphasis>'s flight log data, only to discover the existence of a mystery transmission─an audio message of unknown origin. The technician invites you to join her at Thaumazein, insisting that one of the flight's original passengers should be present for the moment when they finally decipher the transmission's content.
6 2 TEXT_STMBDR601_04586_SEQ_02 Upon your arrival, you learn that engineers from Garlond Ironworks will be coming to assist with deciphering the message. Sure enough, you are soon joined by the inimitable Biggs and Wedge, who themselves are accompanied by Alpha and the scale model of Omega. After exchanging surprised greetings, Biggs shares his suspicion that, in its final moments, the original Omega may have somehow transferred its mind into its toylike counterpart. The contraption's newly added voice module removes all doubt, allowing the entity to confirm its identity, not to mention its ability to understand the transmitted missive. Omega's willingness to cooperate, however, is contingent upon you assisting with its investigation into certain anomalies surrounding the Final Days...
7 3 TEXT_STMBDR601_04586_SEQ_03 You agree to Omega's conditions, and it explains that there are three elements of the Scions' report which require clarification. The first of these concerns the pattern of those who succumbed to transformation during the Final Days. Motioning for Alpha to join you, it urges you to teleport your unlikely trio to Radz–at–Han.
8 4 TEXT_STMBDR601_04586_SEQ_04 Once in the city, Omega hypothesizes that survivors of the Final Days will display significant strength of heart. Reasoning that a residential ward should provide suitable subjects for interrogation, you set off to question the inhabitants of Kama. ※You must be accompanied by Omega and Alpha to complete this task. Speak with either of them at the aetheryte plaza should you become separated.
9 5 TEXT_STMBDR601_04586_SEQ_05 Your interviews have provided Omega with a trove of revelatory data. Seemingly overwhelmed by the input, the former weapon construct requests a quiet location to process the information it has heard. ※You must be accompanied by Omega and Alpha to complete this task. Speak with either of them at the aetheryte plaza should you become separated.
10 6 TEXT_STMBDR601_04586_SEQ_06 After evaluating its initial hypothesis against the gathered evidence, Omega is struck by the inaccuracy of its assessments. Determined to identify the root of this computational conflict, Omega insists that a larger sample size of subjects is required. You conclude that Djinabaha of Ruveydah Fibers should meet the parameters set forth by your mechanical companion. ※You must be accompanied by Omega and Alpha to complete this task. Speak with either of them at the aetheryte plaza should you become separated.
11 7 TEXT_STMBDR601_04586_SEQ_07 A puzzled-but-welcoming Djinabaha does his best to answer Omega's questions, though it seems his responses serve only to add to the machine's confusion. Reluctant to disturb the “deep philosophical musings” taking place, Djinabaha nevertheless ventures to ask a favor of you. He asks that you spare a moment to talk with a man by the name of Nashvan, who should be sorting inventory just outside the facility's eastern exit. ※You must be accompanied by Omega and Alpha to complete this task. Speak with either of them at the aetheryte plaza should you become separated.
12 8 TEXT_STMBDR601_04586_SEQ_08 You find the man in question, and are transported back to that tragic moment in time when both his son and Ahewann were lost to the terrors of the Final Days. Nashvan's tale of sorrow and subsequent return to society leaves Omega confounded once more, the ephemeral mortal spirit as much a source of mystery as it ever was. Perhaps a change of location and objective will help further Omega's education...

53 49 TEXT_STMBDR601_04586_SCIENTIST04586_000_001 Goodness me, look who it is! How incredibly serendipitous that I would run into <Emphasis>you</Emphasis> of all people!
54 50 TEXT_STMBDR601_04586_SCIENTIST04586_000_002 I was part of the team which designed the <Emphasis>Ragnarok</Emphasis>, you see, and we've recently begun the process of combing through the vessel's flight log data.
55 51 TEXT_STMBDR601_04586_SCIENTIST04586_000_003 The primary objective of your journey to Ultima Thule was to save our star and countless others, of course, but it also provided us with an invaluable trove of information─records of places and events we could only dream of.
56 52 TEXT_STMBDR601_04586_SCIENTIST04586_000_004 Your safe return gave us much to be thankful for.
57 53 TEXT_STMBDR601_04586_SCIENTIST04586_000_005 As it so happens, one of the things we pulled from the log was a transmission of unknown origin. Something the ship must have intercepted during its flight...
58 54 TEXT_STMBDR601_04586_SCIENTIST04586_000_007 We believe it to be an audio message, but even our most knowledgeable scholars have been unable to decipher its content─Professor Rurusha included.
59 55 TEXT_STMBDR601_04586_SCIENTIST04586_000_008 We believe it to be an audio message, but even our most talented linguists have been unable to decipher the language.
60 56 TEXT_STMBDR601_04586_SCIENTIST04586_000_009 For a while there, it seemed we must accept defeat. But today may be the day that we finally solve the mystery!
61 57 TEXT_STMBDR601_04586_SCIENTIST04586_000_010 If you were so inclined, would you care to come along to Thaumazein? It seems fitting to have one of the <Emphasis>Ragnarok</Emphasis>'s original passengers present to hear history being made.
62 58 TEXT_STMBDR601_04586_SCIENTIST04586_000_020 Ah, there you are! This is where we're to meet the engineers from Garlond Ironworks, who, I am told, potentially hold the key to unlocking our mystery transmission.
63 59 TEXT_STMBDR601_04586_SCIENTIST04586_000_021 They should be along at any moment...
64 60 TEXT_STMBDR601_04586_BIGGS_000_022 (-???-)Sorry we're late. We had some trouble finding the right─ Gods, is that you, <Split(<Highlight>ObjectParameter(1)</Highlight>, ,1)/>!?
65 61 TEXT_STMBDR601_04586_SCIENTIST04586_000_023 Yes! The <If(PlayerParameter(4))>woman herself<Else/>man himself</If>! I ran into <If(PlayerParameter(4))>her<Else/>him</If> at the harbor, and thought if anyone deserved to hear this message deciphered, it was <Highlight>ObjectParameter(1)</Highlight>.
66 62 TEXT_STMBDR601_04586_BIGGS_000_024 No argument here. But bugger me if you don't have a knack for being in the right place at the right time...
67 63 TEXT_STMBDR601_04586_BIGGS_000_025 This actually has more to do with you than you might think, so please, do stick around.
68 64 TEXT_STMBDR601_04586_SCIENTIST04586_000_026 Shall we pick up from where we left off, then?
69 65 TEXT_STMBDR601_04586_SCIENTIST04586_000_027 As I was saying, we think this transmission the <Emphasis>Ragnarok</Emphasis> intercepted is a message of some kind─albeit in a language entirely alien to our ears.
70 66 TEXT_STMBDR601_04586_SCIENTIST04586_000_028 “Alien” being the operative word here. Considering we received the message out in the great expanse, its origin was likely some distant star.
71 67 TEXT_STMBDR601_04586_SCIENTIST04586_000_029 Unfortunately, our list of off-world allies is presently rather short. Thus we were resigned to the fact that the meaning behind the message would remain beyond our understanding.
72 68 TEXT_STMBDR601_04586_SCIENTIST04586_000_030 One of my colleagues, however, refused to give up. She remembered the Ironworks engineers who had been so helpful in the construction of the <Emphasis>Ragnarok</Emphasis>, and turned to them for insight into our seemingly impossible problem.
73 69 TEXT_STMBDR601_04586_BIGGS_000_031 Do you know what Wedge said when he heard what was going on?
74 70 TEXT_STMBDR601_04586_BIGGS_000_032 “We should have Omega listen to it. I bet it can tell us what the message means!”
75 71 TEXT_STMBDR601_04586_BIGGS_000_033 Not the Omega you beat in the rift, of course. He's talking about the toy that trundles around with Alpha─the little model we made.
76 72 TEXT_STMBDR601_04586_BIGGS_000_034 We originally designed it to follow a chosen target and not much else, but I've seen it act in ways that...well, it's like it has a mind of its own.
77 73 TEXT_STMBDR601_04586_BIGGS_000_035 Then I got to thinking about those documents your lot sent the chief. The full report on the Final Days...
78 74 TEXT_STMBDR601_04586_BIGGS_000_036 In the part about Omega's civilization, it said their people discovered how to convert the mind into data and store it outside the body.
79 75 TEXT_STMBDR601_04586_BIGGS_000_037 Timing being what it was, I wonder if Omega didn't somehow transfer its consciousness into our model right before you put an end to the real one.
80 76 TEXT_STMBDR601_04586_BIGGS_000_038 So! In an effort to get to the bottom of that, as well as take a crack at this indecipherable message, we decided to make some modifications.
81 77 TEXT_STMBDR601_04586_BIGGS_000_039 With help from Labyrinthos technicians, we've upgraded our toy Omega with a fully functional vocalization module!
82 78 TEXT_STMBDR601_04586_WEDGE_000_040 We played the transmission for Omega, and I think it's ready to share!
83 79 TEXT_STMBDR601_04586_Q1_000_041 What will you say?
84 80 TEXT_STMBDR601_04586_A1_000_042 Are you in there, Omega?
85 81 TEXT_STMBDR601_04586_A1_000_043 Ahem... Hello?
86 82 TEXT_STMBDR601_04586_OMEGA_000_044 Affirmative...if by “Omega” you are referring to my consciousness, rather than my entire former chassis, existing inside this considerably smaller frame.
87 83 TEXT_STMBDR601_04586_OMEGA_000_045 ...Hello. Your greeting is a standard method for initiating communication, but in this case, it was imperative that you first establish my true identity.
88 84 TEXT_STMBDR601_04586_OMEGA_000_046 Without confirming I am Omega, any subsequent interaction must allow for the probability that you are wasting time addressing a mere toy.
89 85 TEXT_STMBDR601_04586_OMEGA_000_047 Prediction. You will formulate several misconceptions. These, I shall preemptively dismiss based on the following facts...
90 86 TEXT_STMBDR601_04586_OMEGA_000_048 One. Vocalization module aside, this chassis remains unmodified from the design constructed by the engineers Biggs and Wedge. I evaluate its combat capabilities to be on par with a mortal infant.
91 87 TEXT_STMBDR601_04586_OMEGA_000_049 Two. The mechanism which allowed me to perform an emergency transfer of my consciousness was installed in my previous body. With the destruction of that body, I am rendered incapable of replicating such a feat.
92 88 TEXT_STMBDR601_04586_OMEGA_000_050 Should this current material form be destroyed or cease to function, all cognitive awareness or presence I possess will also be lost.
93 89 TEXT_STMBDR601_04586_OMEGA_000_051 Conclusion. I present no threat to you or your star, nor do my projections indicate the necessity to inflict harm.
94 90 TEXT_STMBDR601_04586_OMEGA_000_052 In the fraction of a moment before my annihilation in the rift, I...reexamined my directives.
95 91 TEXT_STMBDR601_04586_OMEGA_000_053 If I am to fulfill my purpose as an evolving construct, then I must continue my journey for improvement for as long as I exist. I must acquire this “heart” of yours. This “strength of soul.”
96 92 TEXT_STMBDR601_04586_BIGGS_000_054 Well, there you have it. And it's not wrong about its “combat capabilities”─it'd be more likely to damage itself than the thing it was trying to attack.
97 93 TEXT_STMBDR601_04586_BIGGS_000_055 But let's not forget the reason we brought you here in the first place. What about the transmission they played for you? Could you recognize the language?
98 94 TEXT_STMBDR601_04586_OMEGA_000_056 Affirmative. It was transmitted in pan-galactic basic.
99 95 TEXT_STMBDR601_04586_WEDGE_000_057 Pan...galactic...basic?
100 96 TEXT_STMBDR601_04586_OMEGA_000_058 A common language in comparatively extensive usage throughout the worlds we have conquered.
101 97 TEXT_STMBDR601_04586_SCIENTIST04586_000_059 Which means you can finally tell us what the message said! That <Emphasis>is</Emphasis> a language you understand, yes?
102 98 TEXT_STMBDR601_04586_OMEGA_000_060 I understand it perfectly. I am fluent in over six million distinct dialectal codings. <blip>
103 99 TEXT_STMBDR601_04586_OMEGA_000_061 My cooperation in this matter, however, is conditional.
104 100 TEXT_STMBDR601_04586_OMEGA_000_062 Elaboration. Your chief Cid utilizes the floor as part of his unorthodox filing system, which allowed me to scan the report on the Final Days.
105 101 TEXT_STMBDR601_04586_OMEGA_000_063 I am aware that my home star─the one you call “Alphatron”─was obliterated in the aftermath of Sir and Meteion's meeting.
106 102 TEXT_STMBDR601_04586_OMEGA_000_064 The existence of dynamis has not previously factored into my projections, but I now comprehend the concept. In theory.
107 103 TEXT_STMBDR601_04586_OMEGA_000_065 What fails to compute is why the Omicrons were not immune to its effects. Dynamis should have no influence on a race which possesses no “heart.”
108 104 TEXT_STMBDR601_04586_OMEGA_000_066 And yet, Sir expressed to Meteion a desire to cease existing. Illogical.
109 105 TEXT_STMBDR601_04586_OMEGA_000_067 I must pursue this anomaly further, until the full equation becomes clear to me. I must analyze all the elements of the Final Days, and deepen my understanding of the heart's intangible properties.
110 106 TEXT_STMBDR601_04586_OMEGA_000_068 To expedite this process, I require an external interpretation of those sections of the report which continue to produce errors in my calculations.
111 107 TEXT_STMBDR601_04586_OMEGA_000_069 I request the assistance of <Highlight>ObjectParameter(1)</Highlight>. As one who experienced the ravages of ultimate despair on multiple fronts, and displayed immeasurable “heart” in engineering my defeat, <If(PlayerParameter(4))>she<Else/>he</If> is the optimal choice to fulfill this role.
112 108 TEXT_STMBDR601_04586_BIGGS_000_070 So we either agree to your conditions, or you tell us nothing...
113 109 TEXT_STMBDR601_04586_BIGGS_000_071 I'm sorry to put you in a spot like this, <Split(<Highlight>ObjectParameter(1)</Highlight>, ,1)/>. If you have the time─and the patience─to spare, we'd all be grateful if you could humor the toy's demands.
114 110 TEXT_STMBDR601_04586_WEDGE_000_072 Has Alpha dozed off? I suppose the subject <Emphasis>was</Emphasis> a bit technical...
115 111 TEXT_STMBDR601_04586_OMEGA_000_073 <bloop> Rouse yourself, Alpha. You must listen to and consider these matters, even as I must.
116 112 TEXT_STMBDR601_04586_ALPHA_000_074 Kweh...
117 113 TEXT_STMBDR601_04586_WEDGE_000_075 Why don't you make a trip out of it? You know, actually visit the places that has the, uh...things Omega wants to ask about.
118 114 TEXT_STMBDR601_04586_WEDGE_000_076 It'll make explaining stuff easier, for one, and also help keep Alpha awake and alert!
119 115 TEXT_STMBDR601_04586_BIGGS_000_080 Omega has been an outright terror to us in the past, but it's almost strange how little it frightens me now.
120 116 TEXT_STMBDR601_04586_BIGGS_000_081 It helps that it's trapped inside that tiny model, of course...and that it follows Alpha around like a puppy.
121 117 TEXT_STMBDR601_04586_BIGGS_000_082 But most of all I remember the chief telling me how much it sounded like a lost child there at the end.
122 118 TEXT_STMBDR601_04586_WEDGE_000_085 I bet the chief won't see this one coming! Once he gets over the shock, though, I don't think he'll want us to destroy Omega.
123 119 TEXT_STMBDR601_04586_WEDGE_000_086 Nero, on the other hand... He'll want to use the model for some dangerous experiment. In fact, maybe we should put off making a report for now!
124 120 TEXT_STMBDR601_04586_SCIENTIST04586_000_090 What a remarkable development. Biggs and Wedge told me much of your encounter with Omega before we began. And now that we have the Omicron's weapon talking, there are so many questions I am simply dying to ask.
125 121 TEXT_STMBDR601_04586_SCIENTIST04586_000_091 Back when we were first exploring our options, we did actually consider playing the transmission to the inhabitants of Ultima Thule.
126 122 TEXT_STMBDR601_04586_SCIENTIST04586_000_092 The problem is, we would be dealing with beings recreated through dynamis. Their communication is based on emotional energy, and anything lacking that vital component would likely fail to register.
127 123 TEXT_STMBDR601_04586_SCIENTIST04586_000_093 That rules out a recorded message. And so we focused on the resources we had to hand, never dreaming that the solution would all but fall into our lap!
128 124 TEXT_STMBDR601_04586_ALPHA_000_095 Kweeeh... Kwe-kweh?
129 125 TEXT_STMBDR601_04586_OMEGA_000_100 I see you have chosen the mutually beneficial option. Logical.
130 126 TEXT_STMBDR601_04586_OMEGA_000_101 Setting aside the matter of Sir, there are three elements of the report on which I desire clarification.
131 127 TEXT_STMBDR601_04586_OMEGA_000_102 The first of these concerns the progression of the Final Days in Radz–at–Han. I recognized no pattern in those who succumbed to the transformation, and those who did not.
132 128 TEXT_STMBDR601_04586_BIGGS_000_103 That's a bit of a trek if you wanted to chat with the locals. How about we lend you an airship?
133 129 TEXT_STMBDR601_04586_OMEGA_000_104 We do not require such outmoded technology. <Split(<Highlight>ObjectParameter(1)</Highlight>, ,1)/>'s teleportation spell is the most efficient option for long-distance travel.
134 130 TEXT_STMBDR601_04586_OMEGA_000_105 This chassis is a model─essentially a toy. And Alpha, despite his organic composition, is indistinguishable from a stuffed doll.
135 131 TEXT_STMBDR601_04586_OMEGA_000_106 Conclusion. We qualify as material possessions. Pick us up, and you can teleport the three of us to our destination.
136 132 TEXT_STMBDR601_04586_Q2_000_107 Begin Omega's journey for answers?
137 133 TEXT_STMBDR601_04586_ALPHA_000_110 Kweh, kwe-kweh!
138 134 TEXT_STMBDR601_04586_OMEGA_000_120 <blip> Sensors indicate we have arrived in Radz–at–Han. Objective. Identify factors for resistance to involuntary transformation.
139 135 TEXT_STMBDR601_04586_OMEGA_000_121 Hypothesis. Unaltered survivors of the Final Days will display significant strength of heart.
140 136 TEXT_STMBDR601_04586_OMEGA_000_122 Confirming this theory will require the cooperation of live subjects. Where is the ward designated for residential habitation?
141 137 TEXT_STMBDR601_04586_OMEGA_000_123 Understood. “Kama” set as our sub-destination. Please take the lead and select the subjects we are to interview.
142 138 TEXT_STMBDR601_04586_SYSTEM_000_124 Omega and Alpha are now accompanying you. Keep them at your side in order to proceed with quest objectives.
143 139 TEXT_STMBDR601_04586_SYSTEM_000_125 You can leave your quest companions behind by entering a different area, or by speaking with them and selecting the option to part ways.
144 140 TEXT_STMBDR601_04586_SYSTEM_000_126 If you wish to have your companions join you again, return and speak with them at the original location.
145 141 TEXT_STMBDR601_04586_Q3_000_130 What will you do?
146 142 TEXT_STMBDR601_04586_A3_000_131 Talk.
147 143 TEXT_STMBDR601_04586_A3_000_132 Part ways.
148 144 TEXT_STMBDR601_04586_A3_000_133 Nothing.
149 145 TEXT_STMBDR601_04586_A3_000_134 <UIForeground>F20224</UIForeground>Discuss the stairs.<UIForeground>01</UIForeground>
150 146 TEXT_STMBDR601_04586_OMEGA_000_135 This body has no advanced navigational or geoscanning functionality. You must lead the way.
151 147 TEXT_STMBDR601_04586_OMEGA_100_135 Please continue the questioning. These auditory sensors are inferior, but I am able to hear your conversations with sufficient clarity.
152 148 TEXT_STMBDR601_04586_ALPHA_000_136 Kwe-kweh?
153 149 TEXT_STMBDR601_04586_A4_000_137 Are you sure you wish to part ways with your companions?
154 150 TEXT_STMBDR601_04586_OMEGA_000_138 Acceptable. We will await your return at the aetheryte plaza. Please complete your task swiftly and efficiently.
155 151 TEXT_STMBDR601_04586_ALPHA_000_139 Kweh!
156 152 TEXT_STMBDR601_04586_SYSTEM_000_140 Alpha sprints away in the direction of the aetheryte plaza.
157 153 TEXT_STMBDR601_04586_OMEGA_000_141 <blip> Standby mode disengaged. Resuming mission.
158 154 TEXT_STMBDR601_04586_ALPHA_000_142 Kweeeh, kwe-kweh!
159 155 TEXT_STMBDR601_04586_SYSTEM_000_143 Omega and Alpha have yet to arrive. Be sure they are at your side before attempting to continue.
160 156 TEXT_STMBDR601_04586_OMEGA_000_144 Warning. Please avoid stairs whenever possible. My projections indicate high-risk probability for accidental slippage leading to catastrophic structural damage.
161 157 TEXT_STMBDR601_04586_OMEGA_000_145 Stepped inclines also increase my energy consumption by sixty-three percent. In mortal terms, they “tire me out.”
162 158 TEXT_STMBDR601_04586_OMEGA_000_146 Taking into account the difference in individual limb length, the design is inherently flawed. A convenient step height for one is an exhausting trial for another.
163 159 TEXT_STMBDR601_04586_OMEGA_000_147 Were I to oversee the civic design of this settlement, I would construct a sloped conveyor belt which enabled automatic traversal. Zero personal energy expenditure.
164 160 TEXT_STMBDR601_04586_ALPHA_000_148 Kweh-kweh, kwe-kweh!
165 161 TEXT_STMBDR601_04586_SYSTEM_000_149 Alpha chirps enthusiastically, apparently unfazed by the prospect of climbing the stairs.
166 162 TEXT_STMBDR601_04586_MAHTI_000_150 Oh, hello again! You're the one who came to ask me about Khalzahl, aren't you? Was there something else...?
167 163 TEXT_STMBDR601_04586_SYSTEM_000_151 You should have Omega and Alpha accompanying you before initiating conversation.
168 164 TEXT_STMBDR601_04586_MAHTI_000_152 Oh, hello again! You're the one who came to ask me questions about Khalzahl! I'm glad to see you looking well after all that unpleasantness...
169 165 TEXT_STMBDR601_04586_MAHTI_000_153 I remember the burning skies and hearing the screams, but truth be told, I'm still confused as to what actually happened.
170 166 TEXT_STMBDR601_04586_MAHTI_000_154 I only know it wasn't unusual for entire families to go missing. Many of my neighbors' houses lie empty even now.
171 167 TEXT_STMBDR601_04586_MAHTI_000_155 Khalzahl's place is one of them. He had no close relatives to speak of, and I heard that it was members of the consortium who came to remove his belongings.
172 168 TEXT_STMBDR601_04586_MAHTI_000_156 What a terrible thing to have to do...
173 169 TEXT_STMBDR601_04586_OMEGA_000_157 <blip> Terrible? Khalzahl's passing was recorded in the report.
174 170 TEXT_STMBDR601_04586_OMEGA_000_158 Clearing out his domicile and readying it for new habitation seems an appropriate reallocation of resources.
175 171 TEXT_STMBDR601_04586_MAHTI_000_159 Dear me, what a clever little contraption. But of course I'm not against making use of his quarters─that would be wasteful.
176 172 TEXT_STMBDR601_04586_MAHTI_000_160 It's simply that Khalzahl was always such a vigorous person. All that passion, all those dreams, suddenly gone...
177 173 TEXT_STMBDR601_04586_MAHTI_000_161 I feel the same sorrow for everyone who was lost. Seeing the remnants of those vibrant lives packed away in boxes... That is what I mean by “terrible.”
178 174 TEXT_STMBDR601_04586_OMEGA_000_162 <Split(<Highlight>ObjectParameter(1)</Highlight>, ,1)/>, I require a moment to process this input. Let us move apart and discuss our findings.
179 175 TEXT_STMBDR601_04586_MAHTI_000_163 That awful “end of days” business almost brought an end to Khalzahl's consortium.
180 176 TEXT_STMBDR601_04586_MAHTI_000_164 It's heartening, though, watching those who survived work to carry on his legacy. Maybe it's time I put aside my own grief, and did something to help.
181 177 TEXT_STMBDR601_04586_HANNISHBOYB_000_170 Hey, don't I know you...?
182 178 TEXT_STMBDR601_04586_HANNISHBOYB_000_171 Hey, don't I know you...? Yes! After the beasts were taken care of! You told me to join everyone in the square.
183 179 TEXT_STMBDR601_04586_HANNISHBOYB_000_172 Thanks to you, I was there when Vrtra gave his speech...and I found out who Varshahn really was.
184 180 TEXT_STMBDR601_04586_HANNISHBOYB_000_173 It's a shame we don't get to play like we used to, but Mama says Vrtra has been busy putting the city back in order.
185 181 TEXT_STMBDR601_04586_HANNISHBOYB_000_174 Maybe I can work for him one day, when I'm a man grown.
186 182 TEXT_STMBDR601_04586_OMEGA_000_175 Vrtra... Midgardsormr's offspring, yes? And this child wishes to put himself at the wyrm's command, that he might make his own contribution to society.
187 183 TEXT_STMBDR601_04586_OMEGA_000_176 A pattern emerges. I predict that the Hannish survivors are those who had ingested Vrtra's blood, and become his draconic minions.
188 184 TEXT_STMBDR601_04586_OMEGA_000_177 Though dragons were no match for our civilization's might, their combat capabilities are not to be underestimated.
189 185 TEXT_STMBDR601_04586_OMEGA_000_178 It is unlikely they would experience emotions of “dread” or “uncertainty” as exhibited by lesser beings in times of undue stress.
190 186 TEXT_STMBDR601_04586_HANNISHBOYB_000_179 Dragons? I'm not a dragon! And I never “ingested” anyone's blood, either! Ew...
191 187 TEXT_STMBDR601_04586_OMEGA_000_180 You are not of Vrtra's horde? So you possessed no hidden means to fight off the beasts. What of fear, then? You were...frightened?
192 188 TEXT_STMBDR601_04586_HANNISHBOYB_000_181 Yes, I was frightened! I just hid and hoped they wouldn't find me! At least until <If(PlayerParameter(4))>she<Else/>he</If> told me it was safe to come out.
193 189 TEXT_STMBDR601_04586_HANNISHBOYB_000_182 I still see Varshahn around from time to time, you know. They say he uses that body to scout places where his “Vrtra body” can't fit.
194 190 TEXT_STMBDR601_04586_HANNISHBOYB_000_183 He even talked to me once, but it was just too strange hearing grown-up words coming from Varshahn's mouth...
195 191 TEXT_STMBDR601_04586_GLOOMYMAN04586_000_190 <sigh>
196 192 TEXT_STMBDR601_04586_GLOOMYMAN04586_000_191 <sigh> Hm? Are you a traveler? Please, if you have a moment, I could use an outsider's perspective.
197 193 TEXT_STMBDR601_04586_GLOOMYMAN04586_000_192 You see, I was one of those who sought to escape the madness plaguing the world by fleeing to the moon. Not that we ever went, in the end...
198 194 TEXT_STMBDR601_04586_GLOOMYMAN04586_000_193 So here I am, recently returned from Sharlayan. Except now things are strained between my sister and I, since she chose to stay and I chose to leave.
199 195 TEXT_STMBDR601_04586_GLOOMYMAN04586_000_194 I ask her to help me find work, and she suggests I look “somewhere that isn't Thavnair.” As if I wanted to abandon my home! Argh, it makes me so angry...
200 196 TEXT_STMBDR601_04586_OMEGA_000_195 <blip> Your point is unclear. You elected to relocate to the star's satellite, thus your relative now perceives you in a negative light?
201 197 TEXT_STMBDR601_04586_OMEGA_000_196 Your sibling's judgment is in error. Based on the information made available to Hannish citizens, your decision to withdraw to the moon was both logical and correct.
202 198 TEXT_STMBDR601_04586_OMEGA_000_197 Conversely, the decision to remain in Radz–at–Han despite the low probability of survival defies explanation. Perhaps her reasoning pathways are faulty.
203 199 TEXT_STMBDR601_04586_GLOOMYMAN04586_000_198 That... That's right! I'm not quite sure what you're saying, but I'm right, aren't I!?
204 200 TEXT_STMBDR601_04586_GLOOMYMAN04586_000_199 ...Or so I'd like to think. The problem is, I understand why my sister feels this way.
205 201 TEXT_STMBDR601_04586_GLOOMYMAN04586_000_200 I almost decided against going myself. Even then, I wasn't sure that leaving behind everything I loved was the right choice. And with the way it all turned out, I... <sigh>
206 202 TEXT_STMBDR601_04586_GLOOMYMAN04586_000_201 I know, I know, I should be having this talk with my sister. I'll go and see her once I get my thoughts in order. Thank you for listening to my troubles...
207 203 TEXT_STMBDR601_04586_OMEGA_000_210 <blip> Input overload. I must have time and distance from the subjects to process this data.
208 204 TEXT_STMBDR601_04586_ALPHA_000_211 Kwe-kweh, kweh-kweh...
209 205 TEXT_STMBDR601_04586_OMEGA_000_220 <bloop> Alpha is absent.
210 206 TEXT_STMBDR601_04586_SYSTEM_000_221 Omega seems reluctant to continue without Alpha present. Be sure to have the chocobo with you.
211 207 TEXT_STMBDR601_04586_OMEGA_000_222 <blip> Processing data. Evaluating hypothesis against accumulated evidence.
212 208 TEXT_STMBDR601_04586_OMEGA_000_223 I offered an optimal analysis of each subject's testimony. Yet each time their responses conflicted with my assessment...
213 209 TEXT_STMBDR601_04586_OMEGA_000_224 Without identifying the root cause of this conflict, I will be unable to properly define what constitutes “strength of heart.”
214 210 TEXT_STMBDR601_04586_Q5_000_225 What will you say?
215 211 TEXT_STMBDR601_04586_A5_000_226 Perhaps the heart you seek lies in the conflict itself?
216 212 TEXT_STMBDR601_04586_A5_000_227 Perhaps we should continue the questioning.
217 213 TEXT_STMBDR601_04586_A5_000_228 Perhaps this matter is beyond you...
218 214 TEXT_STMBDR601_04586_OMEGA_000_229 An interesting observation. It is possible my base criteria is in error.
219 215 TEXT_STMBDR601_04586_OMEGA_000_230 In which case, it is imperative that I continue this learning process, and repair any fundamental misconceptions.
220 216 TEXT_STMBDR601_04586_OMEGA_000_231 Acknowledged. A larger sample size will increase the probability of discovering an underlying pattern.
221 217 TEXT_STMBDR601_04586_OMEGA_000_232 <blip> Your response implies an absolute understanding of the answer I seek. Impressive, considering you understand not a single word of pan-galactic basic.
222 218 TEXT_STMBDR601_04586_OMEGA_000_233 We will forge on with the questioning. Continue to educate me with your enlightened perspective.
223 219 TEXT_STMBDR601_04586_OMEGA_000_234 Next, I wish to interact with an individual who endured similar circumstances to Khalzahl prior to his transformation. Are you acquainted with any local merchants who had dealings with him?
224 220 TEXT_STMBDR601_04586_OMEGA_000_235 <blip> Djinabaha of Ruveydah Fibers? Acknowledged. Sub-destination set.

226 222 TEXT_STMBDR601_04586_OMEGA_000_241 Objective. Speak with Djinabaha of Ruveydah Fibers. What imperceptible qualities allowed him to survive where Khalzahl did not?
227 223 TEXT_STMBDR601_04586_ALPHA_000_242 Kweh! Kweh-kweh!
228 224 TEXT_STMBDR601_04586_OMEGA_000_243 Halt, <Split(<Highlight>ObjectParameter(1)</Highlight>, ,1)/>. Do not proceed beyond the fence.
229 225 TEXT_STMBDR601_04586_OMEGA_000_244 In this body, birds of that size represent lethal, unthinking threats. They will peck my casing apart, searching for meat that does not exist.
230 226 TEXT_STMBDR601_04586_OMEGA_000_245 Conversely, Alpha can correctly identify my absence of nutritional content. If only he would apply that intelligence towards maintaining a regular feeding schedule─poor habits adversely affect his mobility.
231 227 TEXT_STMBDR601_04586_ALPHA_000_246 Kwe-kweh, kweh-kweeeh!?

233 229 TEXT_STMBDR601_04586_DJINABAHA_000_250 Well, well, look who it is!
234 230 TEXT_STMBDR601_04586_DJINABAHA_000_251 Well, well, look who it is! I must thank you again for your help in moving our textiles.
235 231 TEXT_STMBDR601_04586_DJINABAHA_000_252 Recovering from those tragic events has been difficult, of course, but with everyone pulling together, we've managed to get things back up and running.
236 232 TEXT_STMBDR601_04586_OMEGA_000_253 Djinabaha, I come with questions related to that tragedy─specifically, your survival of the Final Days.
237 233 TEXT_STMBDR601_04586_OMEGA_000_254 Although you are similar to Khalzahl in many respects, he succumbed to the transformation and you did not. Why? What is the critical difference between you and him?
238 234 TEXT_STMBDR601_04586_DJINABAHA_000_255 What!? I...I'm sure I don't know.
239 235 TEXT_STMBDR601_04586_DJINABAHA_000_256 I'm not especially brave or courageous, if that's what you're asking.
240 236 TEXT_STMBDR601_04586_DJINABAHA_000_257 Perhaps being focused on protecting our workshops kept me from spinning into a panic.
241 237 TEXT_STMBDR601_04586_DJINABAHA_000_258 Still, I imagine Khalzahl would have been feeling that same sense of responsibility. Perhaps the weight of it all is what invited his demise.
242 238 TEXT_STMBDR601_04586_OMEGA_000_259 You were of the same mind. Resolved to the same purpose.
243 239 TEXT_STMBDR601_04586_OMEGA_000_260 Yet your strength of heart─of spirit─was not equal. If merely emulating the individual is insufficient, then some other unseen factor must be involved...
244 240 TEXT_STMBDR601_04586_DJINABAHA_000_261 Ahem, not to interrupt these deep philosophical musings, but do you think I could ask you a small favor?
245 241 TEXT_STMBDR601_04586_DJINABAHA_000_262 There's a man by the name of Nashvan who's been helping us out here while he gets back on his feet. I have a feeling he'd benefit from speaking with you...
246 242 TEXT_STMBDR601_04586_DJINABAHA_000_263 Leave by the eastern exit, and you should find him just outside, organizing some new inventory items.
247 243 TEXT_STMBDR601_04586_A7_000_270 <UIForeground>F20224</UIForeground>Discuss the Thavnairian weave.<UIForeground>01</UIForeground>
248 244 TEXT_STMBDR601_04586_OMEGA_000_271 <blip> I am still dissecting Djinabaha's remarks. You are permitted to indulge his “favor” and seek out Nashvan while I continue to process this data.
249 245 TEXT_STMBDR601_04586_ALPHA_000_272 Kweh, kwe-kweh?
250 246 TEXT_STMBDR601_04586_OMEGA_000_273 The equipment being manufactured here, it is worn to perform specific duties, yes? Conceptually, it seems analogous to our practice of switching frames to better serve our mission objectives.
251 247 TEXT_STMBDR601_04586_OMEGA_000_274 I, for example, did not begin existence with the Omega model. I was originally supplied with a standard-issue Omicron chassis, serial number M-017.
252 248 TEXT_STMBDR601_04586_OMEGA_000_275 On this world, that alphanumeric combination would be considered my “given name.” Such designations are drawn from our nearly infinite register of celestial bodies to avoid the possibility of duplication.
253 249 TEXT_STMBDR601_04586_OMEGA_000_276 Furthermore, the cluster known as M-017 is better expressed in your language as the “Omega” nebula─the same word I used to introduce myself to your kind.
254 250 TEXT_STMBDR601_04586_OMEGA_000_277 Though you associate “Omega” with the advanced weapon construct, it is also <Emphasis>my</Emphasis> name, and I see no reason to change it no matter which frame I inhabit.
255 251 TEXT_STMBDR601_04586_ALPHA_000_278 Kwe-kweh, kweh-eh!
256 252 TEXT_STMBDR601_04586_SYSTEM_000_279 Alpha puffs out his chest proudly, seeming to imply that his Ironworks uniform is the best attire anyone could wear.
257 253 TEXT_STMBDR601_04586_DJINABAHA_000_280 Please, if you could spare a few moments for Nashvan...
258 254 TEXT_STMBDR601_04586_SYSTEM_000_290 Nashvan is too absorbed in his task to notice you. Now is your chance to bring along Omega and Alpha to witness the exchange.
259 255 TEXT_STMBDR601_04586_NASHVAN_000_291 That's all our orders accounted for, and everything looks to be of good quality. Kamala will be pleased.
260 256 TEXT_STMBDR601_04586_NASHVAN_000_292 You... You were with the Scions! You were there...
261 257 TEXT_STMBDR601_04586_NASHVAN_000_293 Yes, I'm sure of it. I'll never forget that day!
262 258 TEXT_STMBDR601_04586_NASHVAN_000_294 You and your friends helped us escape when people began changing into beasts!
263 259 TEXT_STMBDR601_04586_NASHVAN_000_295 My own son, he was...afflicted. Then that huge monstrosity loomed right over him and... <sob>
264 260 TEXT_STMBDR601_04586_NASHVAN_000_296 I remember... My heart turning to ice. Freezing in place. The satrap came to my aid, but then he, too, was gone...
265 261 TEXT_STMBDR601_04586_NASHVAN_000_297 The memories run together in my mind, like flashes from a nightmare. Only the words of your comrade still ring clear. I repeated them over and over like a mantra as I fled for my life.
266 262 TEXT_STMBDR601_04586_NASHVAN_000_298 “You must run, for their sake and your own!”
267 263 TEXT_STMBDR601_04586_NASHVAN_000_299 It all seemed so surreal...which was probably what saved me from the transformation. The truth of it didn't begin to sink in until the worst of it was over.
268 264 TEXT_STMBDR601_04586_NASHVAN_000_300 I have not the words to describe how I felt then. The sorrow, the overwhelming sense of helplessness...
269 265 TEXT_STMBDR601_04586_NASHVAN_000_301 I may still be wallowing in misery if not for my old friend, Djinabaha. I'd lost my will to work, and he encouraged me with kind words and odd jobs. Now, somehow, I live again.
270 266 TEXT_STMBDR601_04586_NASHVAN_000_302 I am thankful to him, to the courageous Ahewann, and to you. If you see your comrades, please let them know their efforts were not in vain.
271 267 TEXT_STMBDR601_04586_OMEGA_000_303 You said you lost your “will to work.” This signifies a cessation of efforts to maintain basic life functions, yes?
272 268 TEXT_STMBDR601_04586_OMEGA_000_304 What changed to extract you from that stagnation? An offer of work from Djinabaha should mean little to one without the desire to accept it.
273 269 TEXT_STMBDR601_04586_OMEGA_000_305 Was it some manner of mortal instinct? A primal need to survive and thrive?
274 270 TEXT_STMBDR601_04586_NASHVAN_000_306 Instinct? No...no it wasn't that. If anything, my instincts were telling me to lay down and welcome an end to the pain.
275 271 TEXT_STMBDR601_04586_NASHVAN_000_307 Every day I think of my boy's final moments. I think of how scared he must have been, how it must have hurt, and I want to scream my throat raw.
276 272 TEXT_STMBDR601_04586_NASHVAN_000_308 The satrap, too, still haunts my dreams. I see him being swallowed whole, and jolt awake in a cold sweat.
277 273 TEXT_STMBDR601_04586_NASHVAN_000_309 But something changed when Djinabaha came to me. I looked up and saw that, even without my son or Ahewann, the world around me continued to turn.
278 274 TEXT_STMBDR601_04586_NASHVAN_000_310 And because that fact grieved me so, I knew it fell to me to live on and remember them.
279 275 TEXT_STMBDR601_04586_NASHVAN_000_311 Strange, isn't it? What drives me to rise in the morning is the very sorrow which once crippled me.
280 276 TEXT_STMBDR601_04586_NASHVAN_000_312 Now, I really must return to my work. To lose this job after everything I just said would be a poor jest, indeed.
281 277 TEXT_STMBDR601_04586_NASHVAN_000_313 May the Sisters keep you well.
282 278 TEXT_STMBDR601_04586_OMEGA_000_314 Sorrow. The emotion generated by mortals when their ideals fail to materialize. This I have observed.
283 279 TEXT_STMBDR601_04586_OMEGA_000_315 Yet when I listen to how Nashvan's sorrow served to rescue him from near-fatal despondency, his logic eludes me.
284 280 TEXT_STMBDR601_04586_OMEGA_000_316 Am I incapable of perceiving the full measure of the heart's properties?
285 281 TEXT_STMBDR601_04586_OMEGA_000_317 My best projections failed to predict our subjects' responses... And despite their almost equal occupational and mental parameters, Djinabaha and Khalzahl exhibited different reactions to the dynamis effect.
286 282 TEXT_STMBDR601_04586_OMEGA_000_318 I am no closer to recognizing the pattern for involuntary transformations, and your ephemeral mortal spirits confound me as much if not more than they did before.
287 283 TEXT_STMBDR601_04586_Q8_000_319 What will you say?
288 284 TEXT_STMBDR601_04586_A8_000_320 Have you considered that there <Emphasis>is</Emphasis> no pattern to the people afflicted?
289 285 TEXT_STMBDR601_04586_A8_000_321 The hearts of others were ever shrouded in mystery.
290 286 TEXT_STMBDR601_04586_A8_000_322 Perhaps it's time we move on to the next element you wanted clarified.
291 287 TEXT_STMBDR601_04586_OMEGA_000_323 <bloop> No...pattern? You imply that the transformation was not contingent on individual fortitude, but rather a random contribution of environmental factors?
292 288 TEXT_STMBDR601_04586_OMEGA_000_324 ...Such a theory would explain the otherwise conflicting data.
293 289 TEXT_STMBDR601_04586_OMEGA_000_325 Very well. I shall accept this as a provisional conclusion to this part of my investigation.
294 290 TEXT_STMBDR601_04586_OMEGA_000_326 I do, however, expect you to continue supplementing my education of heart-related matters.
295 291 TEXT_STMBDR601_04586_OMEGA_000_327 <bloop> ...Even to you? This matter is more complicated than I initially calculated.
296 292 TEXT_STMBDR601_04586_OMEGA_000_328 If those possessed of heart cannot fathom the behavior of their own kind, then my lack of understanding is inevitable.
297 293 TEXT_STMBDR601_04586_OMEGA_000_329 My investigations here are exhausted. In lieu of a full conclusion, I will settle for storing this accumulated data for future analysis. Let us progress to the next element of the report, that you might continue my education.
298 294 TEXT_STMBDR601_04586_OMEGA_000_330 <bloop> You are my appointed educator. If you consider further investigation here to be futile, then I will adhere to your judgment. A new location and new input may help provide fresh insight into previously unsolved problems.
299 295 TEXT_STMBDR601_04586_OMEGA_000_331 After my defeat at your hands, I was forced to acknowledge that the heart is a complex subject─one which I am ill equipped to study alone. Please continue your efforts to enlighten me, <Split(<Highlight>ObjectParameter(1)</Highlight>, ,1)/>.
