1,"TEXT_STMBDR602_04587_SEQ_01","Omega expresses a desire to understand the seemingly illogical relationship between the Ilsabard contingent and the imperial population. In order to explore this inconsistency, it bids you teleport your group to Camp Broken Glass in Garlemald."
2,"TEXT_STMBDR602_04587_SEQ_02","Your demanding mechanical companion insists that understanding its current issue will require questioning a representative of both the contingent and the Empire. With the implacable Omega and the shivering Alpha in tow, you set off to find some suitable interviewees.
※You must be accompanied by Omega and Alpha to complete this task. Speak with either of them at Camp Broken Glass should you become separated."
3,"TEXT_STMBDR602_04587_SEQ_03","The men you question both remember you from an earlier visit, although with distinctly different emotions. Both, however, react to Omega's assessments in similarly unexpected fashion, providing the confused machine with a bounty of data to analyze. Once again, Omega asks that you relocate to a quiet place where it can process this new input.
※You must be accompanied by Omega and Alpha to complete this task. Speak with either of them at Camp Broken Glass should you become separated."
4,"TEXT_STMBDR602_04587_SEQ_04","In the midst of discussing the interviewees' “inconsistent” responses and the unpredictability of mortal hearts, Omega exhibits a precipitous drop in energy supply─it would seem the cold weather affected its inner workings more than it anticipated. Omega commands you to apply friction to its outer frame, in an effort to raise its critically low core temperature."
5,"TEXT_STMBDR602_04587_SEQ_05","Crisis averted, you confirm the direction of Omega's next destination: Victors' Spoils. The diminutive model clatters off with the feathery Alpha in close proximity, determined to learn more of burial customs and cognitive complications."
6,"TEXT_STMBDR602_04587_SEQ_06","You arrive at Licinia's gravesite to find an imperial soldier paying his respects. Manius introduces himself, and Omega immediately subjects him to a barrage of probing questions. Although taken aback, Manius nevertheless does his best to respond, his honest answers leading Omega to the conclusion that it is not man who commands the strength of his heart, but rather emotion that controls the man..."
7,"TEXT_STMBDR602_04587_SEQ_07","Satisfied that no further revelations are forthcoming from Camp Broken Glass, Omega indicates its readiness to proceed to its third and final query. This last issue concerns the dearth of information regarding the ancients, and what their full impact on the Final Days might have been. Omega determines that the moon-dwelling Loporrits represent the best source of additional data, and your teleportation spell soon has you materializing inside Bestways Burrow."
8,"TEXT_STMBDR602_04587_SEQ_08","In a stroke of good fortune, Omega's need for observational assistance is immediately filled by the appearance of an enthusiastic Growingway. They set off to examine the burrow's technology, and Omega returns from his Loporrit-guided tour with further questions about the ancients' near-ideal society. The ever-inquisitive machine now wishes to speak with “the watcher,” and agrees to your suggestion to ride Argos to the entity's tower."
9,"TEXT_STMBDR602_04587_SEQ_09","Putting aside the potential ramifications of a fluff-based hierarchy, you manage to convince the stubborn Argos to bear you and your companions to the watcher's abode. The being in question patiently waits to be addressed, seemingly bemused by his unexpected visitors."
10,"TEXT_STMBDR602_04587_SEQ_10","In response to Omega's query, the watcher suggests that a recounting of your experiences might paint a more vivid picture of the ancients and their deeds. The tales you share only serve to confound Omega further, however, as it struggles to reconcile its objective assessment of events with your highly personal perspective. The oft-beeping model nevertheless accepts the data which you and the watcher have provided, and states that its investigation is now completed. The time has come to make a return to Thaumazein."
11,"TEXT_STMBDR602_04587_SEQ_11","Barely have Biggs and Wedge welcomed you back to Sharlayan when they explain that an urgent matter calls them away. You accompany them to their waiting airship, with Omega sharing the results of its investigations while you walk. Omega concludes that Sir's illogical actions strongly indicate the presence of a “heart,” which it has now defined as “a phenomenon which influences one's interpretation of reality.”
Upon arriving at the vessel, Biggs presses Omega to hold up its part of the bargain, and it finally provides you with a translation of the mystery transmission. It is a simple message, of hope and shared joy, the spiritual value of which appears lost on the ever-practical Omicron."
12,"TEXT_STMBDR602_04587_SEQ_12","With the investigation over and its promised duty discharged, Omega returns to traveling the star with Alpha. Sharlayan, RadzatHan, Garlemald─the wide world and its many peoples await. There are questions yet to be answered, and the road ahead is long..."

51,"TEXT_STMBDR602_04587_OMEGA_000_013","The report described the contingent's purpose as the salvation of the local populace. Furthermore, both factions faced a common enemy in the Telophoroi. Why did they not immediately combine forces to their mutual benefit?"

92,"TEXT_STMBDR602_04587_ALAMHIGANDELEGATION_000_092","I can't speak for the overall strategy, but communication with the locals has become a damn sight easier since Jullus and his soldiers stepped in to help."
93,"TEXT_STMBDR602_04587_ALAMHIGANDELEGATION_000_093","Oh, we still face our fair share of distrust, of course. Some folk even think we're enslaving minds with our “foreign magicks.” Hmph. We have Anima to thank for putting that idea in their heads."
94,"TEXT_STMBDR602_04587_ALAMHIGANDELEGATION_000_094","But all things considered, I'd say we're doing pretty well. Establishing an open dialogue was the first big step..."

96,"TEXT_STMBDR602_04587_OMEGA_000_096","The reality of your efforts falls far short of the ideal. If your aim is to provide efficient succor to the local populace, then absorbing their numbers into your command structure would be the optimal path."
97,"TEXT_STMBDR602_04587_ALAMHIGANDELEGATION_000_097","Oh, I wouldn't want to go that far. We're not looking to take over their nation."
98,"TEXT_STMBDR602_04587_ALAMHIGANDELEGATION_000_098","If we're to do this the right way, we need to recognize and respect each other's way of life."
99,"TEXT_STMBDR602_04587_ALAMHIGANDELEGATION_000_099","So while it may not be the easiest solution, I agree with the contingent's slow and steady approach. I'm just happy we're saving lives."

101,"TEXT_STMBDR602_04587_ALAMHIGANDELEGATION_000_101","On the other hand, natives of Ala Mhigo didn't think much of us, either. I guess that's my roundabout way of saying I'm surprised this contingent was even formed in the first place. I feel fortunate to be a part of it."
102,"TEXT_STMBDR602_04587_OMEGA_000_105","I require time and distance to process this data. Scanning for suitable locations..."

4 0 TEXT_STMBDR602_04587_SEQ_00 Omega has selected a new destination.
5 1 TEXT_STMBDR602_04587_SEQ_01 Omega expresses a desire to understand the seemingly illogical relationship between the Ilsabard contingent and the imperial population. In order to explore this inconsistency, it bids you teleport your group to Camp Broken Glass in Garlemald.
6 2 TEXT_STMBDR602_04587_SEQ_02 Your demanding mechanical companion insists that understanding its current issue will require questioning a representative of both the contingent and the Empire. With the implacable Omega and the shivering Alpha in tow, you set off to find some suitable interviewees. ※You must be accompanied by Omega and Alpha to complete this task. Speak with either of them at Camp Broken Glass should you become separated.
7 3 TEXT_STMBDR602_04587_SEQ_03 The men you question both remember you from an earlier visit, although with distinctly different emotions. Both, however, react to Omega's assessments in similarly unexpected fashion, providing the confused machine with a bounty of data to analyze. Once again, Omega asks that you relocate to a quiet place where it can process this new input. ※You must be accompanied by Omega and Alpha to complete this task. Speak with either of them at Camp Broken Glass should you become separated.
8 4 TEXT_STMBDR602_04587_SEQ_04 In the midst of discussing the interviewees' “inconsistent” responses and the unpredictability of mortal hearts, Omega exhibits a precipitous drop in energy supply─it would seem the cold weather affected its inner workings more than it anticipated. Omega commands you to apply friction to its outer frame, in an effort to raise its critically low core temperature.
9 5 TEXT_STMBDR602_04587_SEQ_05 Crisis averted, you confirm the direction of Omega's next destination: Victors' Spoils. The diminutive model clatters off with the feathery Alpha in close proximity, determined to learn more of burial customs and cognitive complications.
10 6 TEXT_STMBDR602_04587_SEQ_06 You arrive at Licinia's gravesite to find an imperial soldier paying his respects. Manius introduces himself, and Omega immediately subjects him to a barrage of probing questions. Although taken aback, Manius nevertheless does his best to respond, his honest answers leading Omega to the conclusion that it is not man who commands the strength of his heart, but rather emotion that controls the man...
11 7 TEXT_STMBDR602_04587_SEQ_07 Satisfied that no further revelations are forthcoming from Camp Broken Glass, Omega indicates its readiness to proceed to its third and final query. This last issue concerns the dearth of information regarding the ancients, and what their full impact on the Final Days might have been. Omega determines that the moon-dwelling Loporrits represent the best source of additional data, and your teleportation spell soon has you materializing inside Bestways Burrow.
12 8 TEXT_STMBDR602_04587_SEQ_08 In a stroke of good fortune, Omega's need for observational assistance is immediately filled by the appearance of an enthusiastic Growingway. They set off to examine the burrow's technology, and Omega returns from his Loporrit-guided tour with further questions about the ancients' near-ideal society. The ever-inquisitive machine now wishes to speak with “the watcher,” and agrees to your suggestion to ride Argos to the entity's tower.
13 9 TEXT_STMBDR602_04587_SEQ_09 Putting aside the potential ramifications of a fluff-based hierarchy, you manage to convince the stubborn Argos to bear you and your companions to the watcher's abode. The being in question patiently waits to be addressed, seemingly bemused by his unexpected visitors.
14 10 TEXT_STMBDR602_04587_SEQ_10 In response to Omega's query, the watcher suggests that a recounting of your experiences might paint a more vivid picture of the ancients and their deeds. The tales you share only serve to confound Omega further, however, as it struggles to reconcile its objective assessment of events with your highly personal perspective. The oft-beeping model nevertheless accepts the data which you and the watcher have provided, and states that its investigation is now completed. The time has come to make a return to Thaumazein.
15 11 TEXT_STMBDR602_04587_SEQ_11 Barely have Biggs and Wedge welcomed you back to Sharlayan when they explain that an urgent matter calls them away. You accompany them to their waiting airship, with Omega sharing the results of its investigations while you walk. Omega concludes that Sir's illogical actions strongly indicate the presence of a “heart,” which it has now defined as “a phenomenon which influences one's interpretation of reality.” Upon arriving at the vessel, Biggs presses Omega to hold up its part of the bargain, and it finally provides you with a translation of the mystery transmission. It is a simple message, of hope and shared joy, the spiritual value of which appears lost on the ever-practical Omicron.
16 12 TEXT_STMBDR602_04587_SEQ_12 With the investigation over and its promised duty discharged, Omega returns to traveling the star with Alpha. Sharlayan, Radz–at–Han, Garlemald─the wide world and its many peoples await. There are questions yet to be answered, and the road ahead is long...

63 59 TEXT_STMBDR602_04587_SYSTEM_000_035 You can leave your quest companions behind by entering a different area, or by speaking with them and selecting the option to part ways.
64 60 TEXT_STMBDR602_04587_SYSTEM_000_036 If you wish to have your companions join you again, return and speak with them at the original location.
65 61 TEXT_STMBDR602_04587_Q1_000_040 What will you do?
66 62 TEXT_STMBDR602_04587_A1_000_041 Talk.
67 63 TEXT_STMBDR602_04587_A1_000_042 Part ways.
68 64 TEXT_STMBDR602_04587_A1_000_043 Nothing.
69 65 TEXT_STMBDR602_04587_OMEGA_000_044 Please approach a contingent member and an imperial citizen. I require input from both perspectives.
70 66 TEXT_STMBDR602_04587_OMEGA_000_045 I recommend you move at a brisk pace. The exertion will raise your body temperature, preventing you and Alpha from freezing to death.
71 67 TEXT_STMBDR602_04587_ALPHA_000_046 Kw...kwe...kwe-choo!
72 68 TEXT_STMBDR602_04587_Q2_000_047 Are you sure you wish to part ways with your companions?
73 69 TEXT_STMBDR602_04587_OMEGA_000_048 <blip> Has your organic body reached its limit for cold exposure? Restore your temperature equilibrium, then find us again at the center of the camp.
74 70 TEXT_STMBDR602_04587_ALPHA_000_049 Kwe-kweh...
75 71 TEXT_STMBDR602_04587_SYSTEM_000_050 Alpha races off towards the middle of Camp Broken Glass, breath steaming in the freezing air.
76 72 TEXT_STMBDR602_04587_OMEGA_000_051 <blip> You are functional again? Then let us resume our objective.
77 73 TEXT_STMBDR602_04587_ALPHA_000_052 Kweh-k-k-k-k-k-kweh!
78 74 TEXT_STMBDR602_04587_SYSTEM_000_053 Omega and Alpha have yet to arrive. Be sure they are at your side before attempting to continue.
79 75 TEXT_STMBDR602_04587_HUNGRYGARLEAN_000_060 A shadow from the past...?
80 76 TEXT_STMBDR602_04587_SYSTEM_000_061 You should have Omega and Alpha accompanying you before initiating conversation.
81 77 TEXT_STMBDR602_04587_HUNGRYGARLEAN_000_062 A shadow from the past...? Yes, I know you from Victors' Spoils!
82 78 TEXT_STMBDR602_04587_HUNGRYGARLEAN_000_063 Have you come to laugh at me!? A wretch who chose to lose Licinia and her sister rather than accept your help...? The fool who ended up reliant upon your charity nonetheless...?
83 79 TEXT_STMBDR602_04587_HUNGRYGARLEAN_000_064 Well, perhaps I <Emphasis>deserve</Emphasis> your derision. My compatriots surely scorn my failed conviction.
84 80 TEXT_STMBDR602_04587_HUNGRYGARLEAN_000_065 I have shamed my people, and brought dishonor upon my nation. I am no better than a kept beast, my pride sold for a bowl of feed...
85 81 TEXT_STMBDR602_04587_HUNGRYGARLEAN_000_066 But my soul, nay, <Emphasis>that</Emphasis> you shall not have! I've refused your honeyed offers of a new home! This land is where I belong, and this is where I shall remain!
86 82 TEXT_STMBDR602_04587_OMEGA_000_067 <blip> You demonstrate opposition to the contingent's overtures.
87 83 TEXT_STMBDR602_04587_OMEGA_000_068 On what basis do you refuse this cooperation? The data suggests the local populace is struggling to produce the bare minimum of sustenance.
88 84 TEXT_STMBDR602_04587_OMEGA_000_069 Have you some secret strategy for survival? Or do your orders compel you to accept your present misfortune?
89 85 TEXT_STMBDR602_04587_HUNGRYGARLEAN_000_070 Wha─? Must I be mocked by a magitek toy now!?
90 86 TEXT_STMBDR602_04587_HUNGRYGARLEAN_000_071 No, I have no secret strategy! No binding orders! I but comport myself as any true Garlean patriot would! Uncompromising...unbending...
91 87 TEXT_STMBDR602_04587_HUNGRYGARLEAN_000_072 ...Blast it all.
92 88 TEXT_STMBDR602_04587_OMEGA_000_073 Once again, this input is...unanticipated. Let us move aside and process what we have heard.
93 89 TEXT_STMBDR602_04587_HUNGRYGARLEAN_000_080 There is naught for me here! I know this! But if I surrender my homeland, then what was it all for...?
94 90 TEXT_STMBDR602_04587_ALAMHIGANDELEGATION_000_090 <Split(<Highlight>ObjectParameter(1)</Highlight>, ,1)/>...?
95 91 TEXT_STMBDR602_04587_ALAMHIGANDELEGATION_000_091 <Split(<Highlight>ObjectParameter(1)</Highlight>, ,1)/>...? Come to see how things are progressing, have you?
96 92 TEXT_STMBDR602_04587_ALAMHIGANDELEGATION_000_092 I can't speak for the overall strategy, but communication with the locals has become a damn sight easier since Jullus and his soldiers stepped in to help.
97 93 TEXT_STMBDR602_04587_ALAMHIGANDELEGATION_000_093 Oh, we still face our fair share of distrust, of course. Some folk even think we're enslaving minds with our “foreign magicks.” Hmph. We have Anima to thank for putting that idea in their heads.
98 94 TEXT_STMBDR602_04587_ALAMHIGANDELEGATION_000_094 But all things considered, I'd say we're doing pretty well. Establishing an open dialogue was the first big step...
99 95 TEXT_STMBDR602_04587_OMEGA_000_095 Query. You consider this level of progress...acceptable?
100 96 TEXT_STMBDR602_04587_OMEGA_000_096 The reality of your efforts falls far short of the ideal. If your aim is to provide efficient succor to the local populace, then absorbing their numbers into your command structure would be the optimal path.
101 97 TEXT_STMBDR602_04587_ALAMHIGANDELEGATION_000_097 Oh, I wouldn't want to go that far. We're not looking to take over their nation.
102 98 TEXT_STMBDR602_04587_ALAMHIGANDELEGATION_000_098 If we're to do this the right way, we need to recognize and respect each other's way of life.
103 99 TEXT_STMBDR602_04587_ALAMHIGANDELEGATION_000_099 So while it may not be the easiest solution, I agree with the contingent's slow and steady approach. I'm just happy we're saving lives.
104 100 TEXT_STMBDR602_04587_ALAMHIGANDELEGATION_000_100 I'm Ala Mhigan, but I was also an imperial conscript until not so long ago. Though I was lucky enough to have a decent commanding officer, many Garleans treated “provincials” like we were less than people.
105 101 TEXT_STMBDR602_04587_ALAMHIGANDELEGATION_000_101 On the other hand, natives of Ala Mhigo didn't think much of us, either. I guess that's my roundabout way of saying I'm surprised this contingent was even formed in the first place. I feel fortunate to be a part of it.
106 102 TEXT_STMBDR602_04587_OMEGA_000_105 I require time and distance to process this data. Scanning for suitable locations...
107 103 TEXT_STMBDR602_04587_ALPHA_000_110 Kweh...? Kwe-kweh, kweeeh?
108 104 TEXT_STMBDR602_04587_OMEGA_000_120 <bloop> Alpha is absent.
109 105 TEXT_STMBDR602_04587_SYSTEM_000_121 Omega seems reluctant to continue without Alpha present. Be sure to have the chocobo with you.
110 106 TEXT_STMBDR602_04587_OMEGA_000_122 Accessing and analyzing recorded data... Integration complete.
111 107 TEXT_STMBDR602_04587_OMEGA_000_123 I have evaluated this most recent input, and made comparisons to our discoveries in Radz–at–Han.
112 108 TEXT_STMBDR602_04587_OMEGA_000_124 Consistent only in their inconsistency, the responses from both contingent member and imperial citizen were highly irrational. Conversely, any Omicron considering their predicaments would have echoed my assessment exactly.
113 109 TEXT_STMBDR602_04587_OMEGA_000_125 The divergence from self-evident logic is key...
114 110 TEXT_STMBDR602_04587_OMEGA_000_126 Hypothesis. The illogical relationship between would-be saviors and suffering populace is another result of the unpredictable nature of mortal hearts.
115 111 TEXT_STMBDR602_04587_OMEGA_000_127 <blip> Any property or ability has inherent advantages and disadvantages.
116 112 TEXT_STMBDR602_04587_OMEGA_000_128 Yet never have I encountered such a unique detriment. It appears that those who share your metaphysical capabilities are prone to complicating simple cognitive processes.
117 113 TEXT_STMBDR602_04587_OMEGA_000_129 An undesirable quality. I will, however, persist in furthering my understanding of the subject.
118 114 TEXT_STMBDR602_04587_OMEGA_000_130 Query. Prior to formulating our next step, I wish to know: who is this “Licinia” the imperial mentioned?
119 115 TEXT_STMBDR602_04587_OMEGA_000_131 Acknowledged. To summarize, insufficient data on foreign culture resulted in inadvisable and ultimately fatal action.
120 116 TEXT_STMBDR602_04587_OMEGA_000_132 I witnessed such self-destructive behavior during the course of our planetary conquests. Overwhelmed enemy forces would voluntarily withdraw into perilous regions, leading to a succession of inevitable losses.
121 117 TEXT_STMBDR602_04587_OMEGA_000_133 ...Tangential data request. I wish to learn about burial customs. The practice has ever seemed nonsensical, but new data suggests it arises from the same source as your cognitive complications.
122 118 TEXT_STMBDR602_04587_OMEGA_000_134 Take me to this Licinia's burial site. It may aid me in understand...stand... <bloop> <bloooooop>
123 119 TEXT_STMBDR602_04587_OMEGA_000_135 Energy delivery systems compromised... Core temperature critically low...
124 120 TEXT_STMBDR602_04587_OMEGA_000_136 <bleep> Warning! Immediate heating required. Request. Apply friction to outer frame...
125 121 TEXT_STMBDR602_04587_ALPHA_000_140 Kweeeh!? Kweh, kwe-kwe-kweh!
126 122 TEXT_STMBDR602_04587_OMEGA_000_150 <bloop> <blip> Temperature nominal. Energy levels stabilizing...
127 123 TEXT_STMBDR602_04587_OMEGA_000_151 The creators of this model must have experienced impaired cognitive reasoning during the design process.
128 124 TEXT_STMBDR602_04587_OMEGA_000_152 Upon our return, I will request additional climate shielding, as well as an accurate temperature sensor array. This will not affect my combat capabilities, but should improve my basic survival rate.
129 125 TEXT_STMBDR602_04587_OMEGA_000_153 Reconfirming sub-destination. In which direction will we find Victors' Spoils?
130 126 TEXT_STMBDR602_04587_OMEGA_000_154 <blip> Acknowledged.
131 127 TEXT_STMBDR602_04587_OMEGA_000_155 Alpha, you are to remain in close proximity. Close enough to envelop me in your feathers. You are permitted to carry me on your back, if you so choose.
132 128 TEXT_STMBDR602_04587_ALPHA_000_160 Kweh, kwe-kweh...?
133 129 TEXT_STMBDR602_04587_COLLEAGUESOLDIER_000_165 ...
134 130 TEXT_STMBDR602_04587_OMEGA_000_170 <blip> A deceptively deep snowdrift almost defeated me, but we have successfully arrived at the location you indicated.
135 131 TEXT_STMBDR602_04587_OMEGA_000_171 <blip> Caution advised.
136 132 TEXT_STMBDR602_04587_OMEGA_000_172 An unknown individual appears to be investigating the object of my interest.
137 133 TEXT_STMBDR602_04587_COLLEAGUESOLDIER_000_173 (-Ist Legion Soldier-)Hm...? You're Eorzea's champion, aren't you? <Highlight>ObjectParameter(1)</Highlight>.
138 134 TEXT_STMBDR602_04587_COLLEAGUESOLDIER_000_174 (-Ist Legion Soldier-)Oh, I never introduced myself, did I...?
139 135 TEXT_STMBDR602_04587_COLLEAGUESOLDIER_000_175 I am Manius, soldier of the Ist Legion and comrade of Jullus.
140 136 TEXT_STMBDR602_04587_COLLEAGUESOLDIER_000_176 Perhaps you remember me from Tertium? We spoke about collecting ceruleum, and again later on, after Lord Quintus had...passed.
141 137 TEXT_STMBDR602_04587_OMEGA_000_177 Manius. Explanation requested. What is the reason for your presence here?
142 138 TEXT_STMBDR602_04587_COLLEAGUESOLDIER_000_178 That must be the tiniest magitek weapon I─ Ah, no, it's just an oddly shaped communicator, isn't it?
143 139 TEXT_STMBDR602_04587_COLLEAGUESOLDIER_000_179 In any case, I have nothing worthy to report. I heard that the sisters who used to live in my sector were buried here, so I thought I'd come and pay my respects.
144 140 TEXT_STMBDR602_04587_COLLEAGUESOLDIER_000_180 Alphinaud and Alisaie told me the story─complete with profuse apologies─though they were adamant that no amount of remorse could erase the tragedy of what came to pass.
145 141 TEXT_STMBDR602_04587_COLLEAGUESOLDIER_000_181 Not that my fellow soldiers and I are in any place to judge. We were manipulated─fooled into starting an insurrection which led to countless deaths among our own countrymen.
146 142 TEXT_STMBDR602_04587_OMEGA_000_182 Objection. The casualties incurred through your infighting are distinct from those caused by the Ilsabard contingent.
147 143 TEXT_STMBDR602_04587_OMEGA_000_183 To restate, you are justified in seeking restitution from the contingent for causing the deaths of Licinia and her sister. Retaliation for damages sustained is also a logical progression.
148 144 TEXT_STMBDR602_04587_OMEGA_000_184 I can deduce two reasons why you do not initiate hostilities with <Split(<Highlight>ObjectParameter(1)</Highlight>, ,1)/> and <If(PlayerParameter(4))>her<Else/>his</If> allies.
149 145 TEXT_STMBDR602_04587_OMEGA_000_185 One. You judge your remaining forces too weakened to contend effectively with the contingent.
150 146 TEXT_STMBDR602_04587_OMEGA_000_186 Two. Your...emotions...are complicating the issue.
151 147 TEXT_STMBDR602_04587_OMEGA_000_187 Tell me. Which of these is correct?
152 148 TEXT_STMBDR602_04587_COLLEAGUESOLDIER_000_188 Well, when you lay it out like that...
153 149 TEXT_STMBDR602_04587_COLLEAGUESOLDIER_000_189 Ahem. I'm afraid my answer isn't like to win me any medals, so would you mind keeping this to yourselves?
154 150 TEXT_STMBDR602_04587_COLLEAGUESOLDIER_000_190 There's the unspoken thought that we're outmatched on the battlefield, certainly. But the real reason I'm not demanding restitution has little to do with weighing the odds.
155 151 TEXT_STMBDR602_04587_COLLEAGUESOLDIER_000_191 The simple truth is I'm so caught up with simple survival that I've no strength to spare for past grievances.
156 152 TEXT_STMBDR602_04587_COLLEAGUESOLDIER_000_192 The same goes for avenging any comrades we've lost, be that my brothers-in-arms or Lord Quintus himself.
157 153 TEXT_STMBDR602_04587_COLLEAGUESOLDIER_000_193 ...Although it seems everyone has an opinion about the manner of <Emphasis>his</Emphasis> passing.
158 154 TEXT_STMBDR602_04587_COLLEAGUESOLDIER_000_194 Some say he should've fought until the end. That he abandoned us to the enemy.
159 155 TEXT_STMBDR602_04587_COLLEAGUESOLDIER_000_195 Others praise him for taking the full burden of responsibility, and freeing us to walk our own path.
160 156 TEXT_STMBDR602_04587_COLLEAGUESOLDIER_000_196 I don't know who's right and who's wrong, but I'm inclined to side with the latter. He gave us the choice of freedom, and that's the choice I made.
161 157 TEXT_STMBDR602_04587_COLLEAGUESOLDIER_000_197 I could cry and rant and rage, but what would be the point? I'll save my energy for worrying about my next meal, my next task.
162 158 TEXT_STMBDR602_04587_COLLEAGUESOLDIER_000_198 I need to focus on the ones left behind─on making some kind of life for my comrades and me.
163 159 TEXT_STMBDR602_04587_COLLEAGUESOLDIER_000_199 And if I need to lean on the contingent to do that, then that's what I'll do. Even if their aid comes at a price, I'm willing to pay it.
164 160 TEXT_STMBDR602_04587_COLLEAGUESOLDIER_000_200 Even amongst your own, there are times when cooperation demands compromise. What matter that they're outsiders?
165 161 TEXT_STMBDR602_04587_COLLEAGUESOLDIER_000_201 Besides, I think I could grow to like Alphinaud and Alisaie. They've reached out to us with kindness and compassion from the very beginning.
166 162 TEXT_STMBDR602_04587_OMEGA_000_202 Summation. Your desire to survive, even should it mean allying with the contingent, was a feeling you already harbored.
167 163 TEXT_STMBDR602_04587_OMEGA_000_203 That your side had committed worse atrocities was the logic you invented later to justify your reasoning.
168 164 TEXT_STMBDR602_04587_COLLEAGUESOLDIER_000_204 Blunt but accurate, I suppose. The heart is honest about what it wants, even if the mind takes a while to reconcile the decision.
169 165 TEXT_STMBDR602_04587_COLLEAGUESOLDIER_000_205 Well, this has been oddly cathartic, but I must return to my duties. There are wild beasts to cull, watch fires to light, supplies to transport... Even without an Emperor, there's no rest for an imperial.
170 166 TEXT_STMBDR602_04587_COLLEAGUESOLDIER_000_206 Be well and stay safe.
171 167 TEXT_STMBDR602_04587_OMEGA_000_207 <blip> Upon review of recent input, I have arrived at an unexpected conclusion.
172 168 TEXT_STMBDR602_04587_OMEGA_000_208 I have been formulating my assessments on the premise that it was man who commanded the strength of his heart...but the data suggests the opposite is true.
173 169 TEXT_STMBDR602_04587_OMEGA_000_209 The surge of spirit, of feelings, of <Emphasis>emotions</Emphasis> can entangle your thoughts to such a degree that even control over your own behavior is compromised. It seems a most counterproductive specification.
174 170 TEXT_STMBDR602_04587_OMEGA_000_210 This also explains why my interactions with mortal subjects have produced more confusion than clarification. It presents a formidable barrier to understanding...
175 171 TEXT_STMBDR602_04587_ALPHA_000_220 Kweh... Kweh, kwe-kweh...
176 172 TEXT_STMBDR602_04587_OMEGA_000_230 <blip> My earlier hypothesis has been borne out. The suboptimal operation being conducted here is the result of emotionally compromised reasoning.
177 173 TEXT_STMBDR602_04587_OMEGA_000_231 I am ready to progress to my third and final query.
178 174 TEXT_STMBDR602_04587_OMEGA_000_232 I would learn more about those referred to as “ancients.” It is clear that this group was a crucial factor of the Final Days, but the information contained in the report was insufficient to form an overview.
179 175 TEXT_STMBDR602_04587_OMEGA_000_233 The Loporrits are creations of the ancients, and are said to maintain repositories of their knowledge. By my calculations, the base of these moondwellers will provide the best source of additional data.
180 176 TEXT_STMBDR602_04587_OMEGA_000_234 Teleport us to their “burrow,” <Split(<Highlight>ObjectParameter(1)</Highlight>, ,1)/>. Preferably before my battery freezes over...
181 177 TEXT_STMBDR602_04587_ALPHA_000_240 Kweh! Kwe-kweh!
182 178 TEXT_STMBDR602_04587_OMEGA_000_250 <blip> Your teleportation spell was successful. We appear to have arrived at the location described as “Bestways Burrow.”
183 179 TEXT_STMBDR602_04587_OMEGA_000_251 An inspection of the technology in use here would give me detailed insight into the ancients and their civilization.
184 180 TEXT_STMBDR602_04587_OMEGA_000_252 This body, however, lacks my previous frame's advanced observational functionality. I will require external assistance...
185 181 TEXT_STMBDR602_04587_GROWINGWAY_000_253 Hm? No, it can't be...
186 182 TEXT_STMBDR602_04587_GROWINGWAY_000_254 It <Emphasis>is</Emphasis> you! Oh, <Split(<Highlight>ObjectParameter(1)</Highlight>, ,1)/>, I've missed you so!
187 183 TEXT_STMBDR602_04587_GROWINGWAY_000_255 <gasp> Wh-What's this you've brought with you?
188 184 TEXT_STMBDR602_04587_GROWINGWAY_000_256 This soft, feathery vision!?
189 185 TEXT_STMBDR602_04587_GROWINGWAY_000_257 We... We've been out-fluffed! Pack up the moon─it's all over!
190 186 TEXT_STMBDR602_04587_GROWINGWAY_000_258 Why bother with burrow-building bunnies when you could walk around with this adorable avian engineer. Just bake me into a pie and be done with it!
191 187 TEXT_STMBDR602_04587_GROWINGWAY_000_259 Inspect our inventions? Wait, so...you're not done with us?
192 188 TEXT_STMBDR602_04587_GROWINGWAY_000_260 Hah, I wasn't truly worried, of course! And I certainly wasn't about to roll myself in dough and dive into Cookingway's new oven!
193 189 TEXT_STMBDR602_04587_GROWINGWAY_000_261 Ahem. If a technical breakdown is what you need, then I am your Loporrit! As the resident atmospheric regulation expert, I can field any question or query you might care to pose!
194 190 TEXT_STMBDR602_04587_OMEGA_000_262 <blip> Acceptable. I will employ this being to guide me around the facilities.
195 191 TEXT_STMBDR602_04587_OMEGA_000_263 Your presence is not mandatory. Even locked within my current chassis, I am still an autonomous construct that has endured hundreds of your life cycles. I am capable of completing this simple objective alone.
196 192 TEXT_STMBDR602_04587_OMEGA_000_264 Objective complete.
197 193 TEXT_STMBDR602_04587_Q3_000_265 What will you say?
198 194 TEXT_STMBDR602_04587_A3_000_266 Was the tour helpful?
199 195 TEXT_STMBDR602_04587_A3_000_267 What happened to Growingway?
200 196 TEXT_STMBDR602_04587_OMEGA_000_268 Affirmative. I observed a representative cross section of the Loporrits' engineering capabilities.
201 197 TEXT_STMBDR602_04587_OMEGA_000_269 My guide required more time to confirm the answer to certain questions, but overall, we made efficient progress.
202 198 TEXT_STMBDR602_04587_OMEGA_000_270 After my fiftieth question, his responses began to suffer noticeable delays...
203 199 TEXT_STMBDR602_04587_OMEGA_000_271 By that stage, we had viewed a representative cross section of Loporrit engineering, thus I deemed it unnecessary to retain his company.
204 200 TEXT_STMBDR602_04587_OMEGA_000_272 Conclusion. Extrapolating from the fraction of technology on display, the full spectrum of the ancients' advancements was, at minimum, equivalent to a level four civilization.
205 201 TEXT_STMBDR602_04587_OMEGA_000_273 A fact which demands further investigation.
206 202 TEXT_STMBDR602_04587_OMEGA_000_274 Despite establishing a near-ideal society, these beings nevertheless harbored a weakness which invited self-destruction. In studying them, I stand to gain a greater understanding of Sir's anomalous decision.
207 203 TEXT_STMBDR602_04587_OMEGA_000_275 Growingway informed me that another type of ancient-made entity exists upon this satellite. The one they call “the watcher.”
208 204 TEXT_STMBDR602_04587_OMEGA_000_276 I would speak to him.
209 205 TEXT_STMBDR602_04587_OMEGA_000_277 <blip> Then conserve your aether. We will ride this “Argos” to our destination, as you have suggested.
210 206 TEXT_STMBDR602_04587_SYSTEM_000_280 Argos is pointedly ignoring the existence of Omega and Alpha.
211 207 TEXT_STMBDR602_04587_ALPHA_000_285 Kweh-kweh! Kweeeh kwe-kweh!
212 208 TEXT_STMBDR602_04587_OMEGA_000_290 <bloop> Impedance detected. The creature identified as Argos refuses to acknowledge our presence.
213 209 TEXT_STMBDR602_04587_OMEGA_000_291 Hypothesis. Upon our arrival, Growingway expressed concern that he had been “out-fluffed.” This suggests the existence of a fluff-based hierarchy.
214 210 TEXT_STMBDR602_04587_OMEGA_000_292 My station in such a system would be predictably low, but Argos is adamant in ignoring even Alpha. Its fluffiness level is impossible to gauge.
215 211 TEXT_STMBDR602_04587_SYSTEM_000_293 Argos turns to you with an impassive gaze. It seems you will need to intervene...
216 212 TEXT_STMBDR602_04587_Q4_000_294 What will you say?
217 213 TEXT_STMBDR602_04587_A4_000_295 Just...think of them as luggage.
218 214 TEXT_STMBDR602_04587_A4_000_296 You're the fluffiest of them all, dear Argos!
219 215 TEXT_STMBDR602_04587_SYSTEM_000_297 Argos gives an exasperated snort before motioning to his back. It seems you have permission to climb aboard!
220 216 TEXT_STMBDR602_04587_OMEGA_000_298 <bloop> You have secured the creature's permission? <Switch(PlayerParameter(71))><Case(1)>Curious.

221 217 TEXT_STMBDR602_04587_OMEGA_000_299 <bleep> I have allowed myself to become distracted. Let us continue on to the watcher at once.
222 218 TEXT_STMBDR602_04587_OMEGA_000_300 <blip> The watcher located. An estimate of this being's height explains the inconvenient scale of Bestways Burrow...

226 222 TEXT_STMBDR602_04587_OMEGA_000_312 Hello, watcher. My purpose here is to learn more about the ancients.
227 223 TEXT_STMBDR602_04587_OMEGA_000_313 I would know of their deeds, their philosophies─the very nature of their hearts. I would understand why the Final Days was visited upon my home star.
228 224 TEXT_STMBDR602_04587_WATCHEROFMOON_000_314 <UIForeground>F20223</UIForeground>A worthy endeavor. But there is another better suited to assisting you with that task.<UIForeground>01</UIForeground>

246 242 TEXT_STMBDR602_04587_OMEGA_000_332 I understand the facts of your story, <Split(<Highlight>ObjectParameter(1)</Highlight>, ,1)/>...
247 243 TEXT_STMBDR602_04587_OMEGA_000_333 ...But not how you have chosen to process them. On what grounds do you speak of Venat with such fondness?
248 244 TEXT_STMBDR602_04587_OMEGA_000_334 By sundering the world, she ultimately guided your kind to victory, yet in doing so caused irreparable damage to its individual members.
249 245 TEXT_STMBDR602_04587_OMEGA_000_335 The full scale of that act is beyond calculation. It is evident, however, that it resulted in a protracted period of suboptimal existence for Emet-Selch and his brethren.
250 246 TEXT_STMBDR602_04587_OMEGA_000_336 Query. If the survival of your kind is the deciding factor in your evaluation, then should you not also admire Hermes and his decision to subject man to a trial? Forcing you to change or perish, as was the fate of countless civilizations before you.
251 247 TEXT_STMBDR602_04587_OMEGA_000_337 From my perspective, his determination was similar to that of the Omicrons' ancestors─those who first began trading flesh for machine, so that our people might stand against the onslaught of aggression from other races.
252 248 TEXT_STMBDR602_04587_OMEGA_000_338 It was an unprecedented attempt, accompanied by much failure and sacrifice. Their early experiments were crude. Primitive.
253 249 TEXT_STMBDR602_04587_OMEGA_000_339 Had they not made those first advances, however, we would have remained vulnerable to our environment. The violence would have utterly consumed us.
254 250 TEXT_STMBDR602_04587_OMEGA_000_340 And what of Emet-Selch himself? Judging by your retelling, he was a benevolent ally saddled with tragic fate.
255 251 TEXT_STMBDR602_04587_OMEGA_000_341 Yet I remember the years when my instruments fed me data from events across the entire star. During that time, I witnessed his Ascians engineer multiple instances of cataclysmic strife.
256 252 TEXT_STMBDR602_04587_OMEGA_000_342 These “calamities,” as you know them, were responsible for planet-wide destruction. A man whose endgame relied upon the extinction of all modern mortals must, by definition, be your worst enemy.
257 253 TEXT_STMBDR602_04587_OMEGA_000_343 I require an answer. As a being of heart and soul, how do you classify each of these pivotal figures?
258 254 TEXT_STMBDR602_04587_OMEGA_000_344 From your perspective, which of them was most justified in their actions?
259 255 TEXT_STMBDR602_04587_Q5_000_245 What will you say?
260 256 TEXT_STMBDR602_04587_A5_000_246 They were all justified in their own way.
261 257 TEXT_STMBDR602_04587_A5_000_247 Venat.
262 258 TEXT_STMBDR602_04587_A5_000_248 Hermes.
263 259 TEXT_STMBDR602_04587_A5_000_249 Emet-Selch.
264 260 TEXT_STMBDR602_04587_A5_000_250 None of them were.
265 261 TEXT_STMBDR602_04587_OMEGA_000_351 I...think I understand.
266 262 TEXT_STMBDR602_04587_WATCHEROFMOON_000_352 <UIForeground>F20223</UIForeground>You seek a definitive answer. Yet based on our experiences, <Split(<Highlight>ObjectParameter(1)</Highlight>, ,1)/> and I might develop very different opinions.<UIForeground>01</UIForeground>
267 263 TEXT_STMBDR602_04587_WATCHEROFMOON_000_353 <UIForeground>F20223</UIForeground>In the same fashion, you are free to form your own thoughts on the matter. Do not be so swift to consider them without merit.<UIForeground>01</UIForeground>
268 264 TEXT_STMBDR602_04587_OMEGA_000_354 I do not have my “own thoughts” on the matter. I assess each situation with the same logic pathways available to every Omicron.
269 265 TEXT_STMBDR602_04587_OMEGA_000_355 Even if a thousand Omicrons were asked to analyze the same event, they would all return the same result...regardless of individual experience. There is no strength to be found in fractured reasoning.
270 266 TEXT_STMBDR602_04587_OMEGA_000_356 Nonetheless, I find your input valuable. Recording data alongside interview results...
271 267 TEXT_STMBDR602_04587_OMEGA_000_357 This concludes my investigation into the incomplete elements of the Final Days report.
272 268 TEXT_STMBDR602_04587_OMEGA_000_358 I will reanalyze the accumulated information, and examine the factors which led to Sir's incomprehensible decision.
273 269 TEXT_STMBDR602_04587_OMEGA_000_359 <blip> Let us return to Thaumazein.
274 270 TEXT_STMBDR602_04587_WATCHEROFMOON_000_360 <UIForeground>F20223</UIForeground>It was pleasant to hear your tales of Elpis. Should you ever need an audience familiar with the subject, I would be glad to listen to more of your recollections.<UIForeground>01</UIForeground>

277 273 TEXT_STMBDR602_04587_SCIENTIST04586_000_370 You had a fruitful trip, I hope? I am absolutely <Emphasis>bursting</Emphasis> to ask about your experiences with Omega, but I don't wish to be a pest.
278 274 TEXT_STMBDR602_04587_SCIENTIST04586_000_371 I will swallow my questions for now, and maintain my academic decorum. Besides, it seems our engineering friends are in a hurry to leave...

282 278 TEXT_STMBDR602_04587_BIGGS_000_391 Your journey with Omega was properly educational, I hope?
283 279 TEXT_STMBDR602_04587_BIGGS_000_392 We'd planned to ask you all about it and that mystery transmission besides, but I'm afraid something urgent has come up...
284 280 TEXT_STMBDR602_04587_BIGGS_000_393 Seems one of our Ironworks associates has fouled up a job elsewhere, and Jessie needs Wedge and me to rush in and lend a hand.
285 281 TEXT_STMBDR602_04587_BIGGS_000_394 There's an airship already waiting for us out in the harbor, in fact. Do you think you could escort us over there, and talk as we walk?
286 282 TEXT_STMBDR602_04587_OMEGA_000_395 <blip> Acceptable. I am fully capable of speech during ambulation.
287 283 TEXT_STMBDR602_04587_BIGGS_000_396 I figured you might be. Right, let's get a move on, then.
288 284 TEXT_STMBDR602_04587_BIGGS_000_500 So...you've cleared up all those points of confusion, then?
289 285 TEXT_STMBDR602_04587_OMEGA_000_501 ...I had mistakenly classified your intangible “heart” as an ability of some kind.
290 286 TEXT_STMBDR602_04587_OMEGA_000_502 An uncanny power that Omicrons could neither learn nor even measure.
291 287 TEXT_STMBDR602_04587_OMEGA_000_503 Even now, its full nature yet eludes my comprehension.
292 288 TEXT_STMBDR602_04587_OMEGA_000_504 Based upon our investigations, however, I have decided to alter my definition.
293 289 TEXT_STMBDR602_04587_OMEGA_000_505 “A phenomenon which influences one's interpretation of reality.”
294 290 TEXT_STMBDR602_04587_OMEGA_000_506 That is as close to an answer as I have found.
295 291 TEXT_STMBDR602_04587_OMEGA_000_507 Accordingly, Sir's actions upon meeting Meteion strongly indicate the presence of a “heart.”
296 292 TEXT_STMBDR602_04587_OMEGA_000_508 Sir did not follow routine logic, but formulated an independent assessment based upon the reality it perceived.
297 293 TEXT_STMBDR602_04587_OMEGA_000_509 It “felt” that the best recourse for the Omicrons was to cease their expansion, and terminate all functions...
298 294 TEXT_STMBDR602_04587_WEDGE_000_510 Well, here's our ship!
299 295 TEXT_STMBDR602_04587_BIGGS_000_511 Aye, we need to be going...but first, I'll hold you to your bargain, Omega.
300 296 TEXT_STMBDR602_04587_BIGGS_000_512 It's time you told us what was in that transmission from the flight logs.
301 297 TEXT_STMBDR602_04587_OMEGA_000_513 <blip> Acknowledged. I will uphold the terms of our agreement.
302 298 TEXT_STMBDR602_04587_OMEGA_000_514 The recording salvaged from the <Emphasis>Ragnarok</Emphasis> was a simple one.
303 299 TEXT_STMBDR602_04587_OMEGA_100_514 The message is so basic, in fact, that the time spent listening to it may result in a net loss of value. Shall I continue?
304 300 TEXT_STMBDR602_04587_WEDGE_110_514 Now you're just teasing! Tell us the message already!
305 301 TEXT_STMBDR602_04587_OMEGA_120_514 Acknowledged. Converting dialect coding to local language...
306 302 TEXT_STMBDR602_04587_OMEGA_000_515 “To whomever receives this message out there in the vast reaches of the cosmos...
307 303 TEXT_STMBDR602_04587_OMEGA_000_516 “To someone, I hope, who looks up at the stars with the same wistful gaze as mine...
308 304 TEXT_STMBDR602_04587_OMEGA_000_517 “To you I say...forge ahead. May all our tomorrows be blessed with joy.”
309 305 TEXT_STMBDR602_04587_OMEGA_000_518 This message had no designated recipient. It lacks purpose.
310 306 TEXT_STMBDR602_04587_OMEGA_000_519 The concept of “joy” is overly abstract. The vocal supplication to manifest said joy is unrealistic in its optimism.
311 307 TEXT_STMBDR602_04587_OMEGA_000_520 Yet based upon their expressions, my assessment of the transmission's value conflicts with its apparent impact.
312 308 TEXT_STMBDR602_04587_OMEGA_000_521 And still, I fail to understand you, Sir. Your “heart” still confuses me.
313 309 TEXT_STMBDR602_04587_OMEGA_000_522 Was termination of everything the correct course? How did you arrive at this conclusion?
314 310 TEXT_STMBDR602_04587_OMEGA_000_523 It defies all my attempts at reasoning...
315 311 TEXT_STMBDR602_04587_OMEGA_000_524 But I was designed to evolve. If I continue to learn, the probability that I eventually comprehend this phenomenon is greater than zero.
316 312 TEXT_STMBDR602_04587_OMEGA_000_525 So I will put the dilemma of your decision aside for now...
317 313 TEXT_STMBDR602_04587_OMEGA_000_526 ...And continue my existence upon this distant star. As I dwell among these many life-forms, so will I continue to piece together the complete shape of their mortal hearts.
318 314 TEXT_STMBDR602_04587_OMEGA_000_527 I must document their progress...
319 315 TEXT_STMBDR602_04587_ALPHA_000_530 Kwe-kweeeh!
320 316 TEXT_STMBDR602_04587_OMEGA_000_540 Your contribution to my education is appreciated, <Split(<Highlight>ObjectParameter(1)</Highlight>, ,1)/>. Indeed, I have amassed a satisfying quantity of valuable data.
321 317 TEXT_STMBDR602_04587_OMEGA_000_541 Now that our negotiated business is complete, however, Alpha and I will return to traveling the world.
322 318 TEXT_STMBDR602_04587_OMEGA_000_542 Drawing on recent experience, I am confident we can expand the radius of our ventures by a significant margin.
323 319 TEXT_STMBDR602_04587_OMEGA_000_543 We need not limit ourselves to Eorzea. I am now familiar with Sharlayan and Radz–at–Han, and would also like to revisit the freezing climes of Garlem─ <blooop>
324 320 TEXT_STMBDR602_04587_OMEGA_000_544 I neglected to instruct Biggs and Wedge to upgrade my climate shielding. <blip> I will reroute my request to Deputy President Jessie.
325 321 TEXT_STMBDR602_04587_OMEGA_000_545 Engaging ambulation and parting salutations. Farewell, <Split(<Highlight>ObjectParameter(1)</Highlight>, ,1)/>.
