40TEXT_VOICEMAN_04002_000010_TANSUIGentlemen! I am told you were most unreceptive to my associate's requests.
51TEXT_VOICEMAN_04002_000020_TANSUII realize you do not look kindly on the Confederacy and her ways. But if you refuse to pay the Ruby Tithe, your safety in these waters cannot be assured.
62TEXT_VOICEMAN_04002_000030_GARLEANLEADERDOMASpare me your concern, pirate. Your feeble attempts at extortion will not work on us.
73TEXT_VOICEMAN_04002_000040_GARLEANLEADERDOMAYou remain at large because we allow it─because you are such insignificant little pests that we see no need to swat you.
84TEXT_VOICEMAN_04002_000050_GARLEANLEADERDOMABut if you wish to risk the ire of the viceroy, by all means, fire upon an imperial vessel. Give us a reason to bring the full might of the Garlean Empire to bear against your pathetic fleet.
95TEXT_VOICEMAN_04002_000060_TESHITAPIRATEBastards!
106TEXT_VOICEMAN_04002_000070_TANSUIGentlemen. Surely the fact that you have such limitless resources at your disposal gives you all the more reason to spare some few coins for the less fortunate?
117TEXT_VOICEMAN_04002_000080_GARLEANLEADERDOMAAll talk, just as I thought. Come─let us away. I have no time for this rubbish.
128TEXT_VOICEMAN_04002_000090_LYSEWe're all the same to them, aren't we? Savages to be ruled or slaughtered.
139TEXT_VOICEMAN_04002_000100_TANSUIThey've always balked at paying the Ruby Tithe. But they were never so eager to pick a fight...
1410TEXT_VOICEMAN_04002_000110_TANSUIThe problem, you see, is that many of my comrades in the Confederacy are of Doman descent─and the acting viceroy...well, she's none too fond of Domans, to say the least.
1511TEXT_VOICEMAN_04002_000120_TANSUIIf we take any action to hinder the safe passage of an imperial vessel, she'll accuse us of attempting to foment rebellion and brand us enemies of the Empire─which we can ill afford to be. Like the man said, we're all talk.
1612TEXT_VOICEMAN_04002_000130_ALISAIEAnd where do the Kojin stand in all this?
1713TEXT_VOICEMAN_04002_000140_TANSUIWith the winning side, of course. They are mercenaries to a fault, eager to offer their services without coercion.
1814TEXT_VOICEMAN_04002_000150_TANSUIThe shellback could tell you more...though something tells me he would rather not.
1915TEXT_VOICEMAN_04002_000160_LYSEI don't understand. If the Garleans are causing the Confederacy this much trouble─and if so many of you are Doman to begin with─why aren't you willing to fight back?
2016TEXT_VOICEMAN_04002_000170_TANSUIHahaha! Spoken like a true friend of the Doman Liberation Front.
2117TEXT_VOICEMAN_04002_000180_TANSUIIf you're planning to rouse us with noble words and grand promises─don't bother. We all know what the imperial army can do. Compared to them, we're boys with boats.
2218TEXT_VOICEMAN_04002_000190_TANSUIBesides, what ties a man may once have held to his home are forsaken upon joining the Confederacy. We look out for none but our own.
2319TEXT_VOICEMAN_04002_000200_TANSUIBe that as it may, our livelihood is under threat, and the captain will need to decide soon whether we are to go down in a blaze of glory or bow and scrape for crumbs from the Emperor's table.
2420TEXT_VOICEMAN_04002_000210_TANSUI...All while our friend the viceroy continues her purge of Doma's “radical elements.” I believe she's holding court in one of the fishing villages even as we speak.
2521TEXT_VOICEMAN_04002_000220_GOSETSUThat she-devil! Her perfidy knows no bounds!
2622TEXT_VOICEMAN_04002_000230_GOSETSUShe must be stopped. Come, let us find Soroban and put to sea at once!
2723TEXT_VOICEMAN_04002_000240_TANSUITell the others that these ones have paid. We all have places to be.
2824TEXT_VOICEMAN_04002_000250_ALISAIEEven accounting for the rebellion, such indiscriminate shows of force seem pointlessly excessive...
2925TEXT_VOICEMAN_04002_000260_GOSETSUIf only you knew how commonplace such scenes have become. Hmm... Are we too late?
3026TEXT_VOICEMAN_04002_000270_LYSEOver there─someone's coming!
3127TEXT_VOICEMAN_04002_000280_GOSETSU...It is she! Sworn enemy of Doma─of my master! The traitor who sold her homeland to the Garleans─Yotsuyu!
3228TEXT_VOICEMAN_04002_000290_LYSEThe viceroy herself. And look─behind her! Isn't that...?
3329TEXT_VOICEMAN_04002_000300_YOTSUYUFilth and squalor everywhere I look. How very Doman. What I wouldn't do for a drink...
3430TEXT_VOICEMAN_04002_000310_YOTSUYUCome now, you've no reason to look so afraid! You have lived through a quarter of a century of Garlean rule, remember?
3531TEXT_VOICEMAN_04002_000320_YOTSUYU'Tis better to bend with the wind than stand tall and be broken. Therein lies...hope. Therein lies freedom.
3632TEXT_VOICEMAN_04002_000330_YOTSUYUI come before you today seeking affirmation. A heartfelt declaration. You are free to answer me as you see fit─yet even the least among you should know the correct response. Should.
3733TEXT_VOICEMAN_04002_000340_YOTSUYUA resident of your village─one of your neighbors, mayhap your friend─was detained by the Kojin this morning. They say he was attempting to flee to Kugane, but we both know that simply isn't true, don't we? Have you anything to say?
3834TEXT_VOICEMAN_04002_000350_YOTSUYU...A bit slow, this one. Is there anyone more sensible among you? Have any of you anything to say? To swear?
3935TEXT_VOICEMAN_04002_000360_E3F1VILLAGERM-My lady, I...I swear to serve the Empire! To do...whatever is asked of me...and never disobey...
4036TEXT_VOICEMAN_04002_000370_YOTSUYUWell said that man. Of course...it wouldn't do to simply take you at your word.
4137TEXT_VOICEMAN_04002_000380_YOTSUYUKill him. Surely you can do that much? He must be guilty of something or other, or he wouldn't have attempted to flee the Empire.
4238TEXT_VOICEMAN_04002_000390_E3F1VILLAGERI...I have a family... Kami forgive me... Kami forgive me...
4339TEXT_VOICEMAN_04002_000400_YOTSUYUVery, very good! I've always had a soft spot for men like you.
4440TEXT_VOICEMAN_04002_000410_YOTSUYUNext, I want you to shoot those two over there. Too old to work, you understand─a burden on the Empire, and we can't have that.
4541TEXT_VOICEMAN_04002_000420_E3F1VILLAGERBut...they're my parents. You can't expect me to...
4642TEXT_VOICEMAN_04002_000430_E3F1VILLAGERUgh... Ngh... Grrraaagh!
4743TEXT_VOICEMAN_04002_Q1_000_001_NONE_VOICEWhat will you say?
4844TEXT_VOICEMAN_04002_A1_000_001_NONE_VOICE...We will show them no mercy.
4945TEXT_VOICEMAN_04002_A1_000_002_NONE_VOICEWe can't. Not now.
5046TEXT_VOICEMAN_04002_000440_ALISAIEStop and think for a moment! If you go charging in now, every one of those villagers is as good as dead!
5147TEXT_VOICEMAN_04002_000450_ALISAIE<If(PlayerParameter(4))>She's<Else/>He's</If> right. They would simply take the villagers hostage.
5248TEXT_VOICEMAN_04002_000460_ALISAIEWe must consider the wider picture. If we act recklessly, we risk alerting the Garleans to our presence here, making it that much harder for us to work with the local rebels─to say nothing of the reprisals ordinary civilians would be made to suffer.
5349TEXT_VOICEMAN_04002_000470_GOSETSUOpen your eyes, girl─they are already suffering! Let me go─I am putting an end to this madness!
5450TEXT_VOICEMAN_04002_000480_GOSETSUI will approach the village alone and identify myself. As a former leader of the rebellion and a known fugitive, they will wish to detain me until they are certain they have learned all I know. Use this time to make your plans!
5551TEXT_VOICEMAN_04002_000490_LYSEYou saw what those monsters did to the villagers! Who knows what they'll do to you─assuming they don't kill you where you stand!
5652TEXT_VOICEMAN_04002_000500_GOSETSUWe live and die at the pleasure of the kami. My fate is in their hands, and no other's. If it be of any comfort, I am no stranger to chains.
5753TEXT_VOICEMAN_04002_000510_LYSEYou can't expect us to stand idly by as a comrade goes marching off to his death! And this is nothing like Kugane!
5854TEXT_VOICEMAN_04002_000520_ALISAIE...Nor is it like the Reach, Lyse─or the Wall. Let him go.
5955TEXT_VOICEMAN_04002_000530_ALISAIEHold out for as long as you can, but remember: noble sacrifices are to remain an absolute last resort. I wish I could say it won't come to that, but only the gods know how we're going to get you and the others out in one piece. A miracle, perchance...
6056TEXT_VOICEMAN_04002_000540_GOSETSUA great tower stands to the north and east. Look to its occupants for aid and succor. Together, you may yet find your miracle.
6157TEXT_VOICEMAN_04002_000550_GOSETSUNow, leave this place. I must go.
6258TEXT_VOICEMAN_04002_000560_YOTSUYUTsk tsk... Another idiot like all the rest. I'm beginning to think it may be something fundamental, something intrinsic, something quintessentially Doman to ignore the simple truth: you can't do a damn thing if you're dead.
6359TEXT_VOICEMAN_04002_000570_GOSETSUEnough, Yotsuyu!
6460TEXT_VOICEMAN_04002_000580_YOTSUYUWell now...this is a surprise.
6561TEXT_VOICEMAN_04002_000590_GOSETSUHear me, Yotsuyu: cease this farce, here and now, and I shall surrender myself to you. Refuse, and all shall answer to my blade.
6662TEXT_VOICEMAN_04002_000600_YOTSUYU...Bring him to the tavern.
6763TEXT_VOICEMAN_04002_000610_TANSUIOur most compassionate acquaintances return. For your deeds, we owe you many thanks.
6864TEXT_VOICEMAN_04002_000620_TANSUI...But something tells me our thanks are not sufficient. The strange thing is, I was certain you understood our position. And yet here you are with that same look in your eyes─and those same words upon your lips, I'll wager.
6965TEXT_VOICEMAN_04002_000630_ALISAIEI speak only the truth. The Confederacy will not be spared Yotsuyu's wrath. You have always known this─that one day you would have no choice but to stand up to the Empire. I say to you that day is today, and come once more to ask that you join us in the fight.
7066TEXT_VOICEMAN_04002_000640_TANSUIHow convenient that recent events should lend such credence to your claims. Tell me, do death and destruction always follow in your wake?
7167TEXT_VOICEMAN_04002_000650_RASHOThey had no part in it, Tansui. You know this. We all know this.
7268TEXT_VOICEMAN_04002_000660_RASHOThey came and took our Doman brothers. They will torture them for her sport─murder them for her satisfaction.
7369TEXT_VOICEMAN_04002_000670_RASHOSo we attack, and get butchered for our trouble...or do naught, and let them have their pound of flesh.
7470TEXT_VOICEMAN_04002_000680_RASHOIf this be our choice, I say we suffer the ignominy. We endure. We survive. There is no better path.
7571TEXT_VOICEMAN_04002_000690_RASHOUntil the day our enemy is grown weaker, and we stronger, there can be no retribution. We will wait for a sign. Such is the judgment of the Confederacy.
7672TEXT_VOICEMAN_04002_000700_LYSESo that's it, then. You're just going to abandon them. To her.
7773TEXT_VOICEMAN_04002_000710_LYSEThey'd die for you, you know─for the Confederacy. They would die for you, but you wouldn't even think to risk your lives for theirs!
7874TEXT_VOICEMAN_04002_000720_ALISAIEI have one last idea, if you will allow. I'm afraid it's not very good as ideas go─it's exceedingly reckless, in fact, and you may well come to despise me for ever having suggested it. Assuming we survive, that is.
7975TEXT_VOICEMAN_04002_000730_ALISAIEThe question being: do you trust me?
8076TEXT_VOICEMAN_04002_Q2_000_001_NONE_VOICEWhat will you say?
8177TEXT_VOICEMAN_04002_A2_000_001_NONE_VOICEDo you even need to ask?
8278TEXT_VOICEMAN_04002_A2_000_002_NONE_VOICEAsk me again later.
8379TEXT_VOICEMAN_04002_000740_LYSEWe can't stand by and let innocent people suffer─here or anywhere else. I'll do whatever it takes.
8480TEXT_VOICEMAN_04002_000750_ALISAIEThen let us roll the dice.
8581TEXT_VOICEMAN_04002_000760_ALISAIEIf it's a sign you want, we shall give you one. One rousing enough to make you drive every Garlean out of Isari without a second thought.
8682TEXT_VOICEMAN_04002_000770_ALISAIEYou are wary of invoking the ire of the imperial forces stationed in Doma, correct?
8783TEXT_VOICEMAN_04002_000780_ALISAIEKnow then that once we have rescued our comrade and freed Isari, we mean to liberate the nation as a whole.
8884TEXT_VOICEMAN_04002_000790_ALISAIEYou will doubtless require assurances that we are capable of achieving this─and that is only fair. Accordingly, we shall demonstrate our seriousness by depriving the Garleans of a key ally: the Kojin.
8985TEXT_VOICEMAN_04002_000800_TANSUIWhat, the three of you? Just like that?
9086TEXT_VOICEMAN_04002_000810_ALISAIEActually, my esteemed colleague here will attend to it on <If(PlayerParameter(4))>her<Else/>his</If> own. But the how of it is not your concern─only the outcome.
9187TEXT_VOICEMAN_04002_000820_ALISAIEIf we succeed, you help us liberate Isari. If we fail, you lose nothing. A simple enough wager─if you have the stones for it.
9288TEXT_VOICEMAN_04002_000830_TANSUIThe little miss does make it hard to refuse, does she not?
9389TEXT_VOICEMAN_04002_000840_RASHOWords are air. We will weigh you by your deeds.
9490TEXT_VOICEMAN_04002_000850_ALISAIEIs that light I see up ahead?
9591TEXT_VOICEMAN_04002_000860_LYSE[SURPRISED GASP REAX]
9692TEXT_VOICEMAN_04002_000870_ALISAIEWe, uh...appear to be standing inside a giant bubble. By the Twelve...I think we're on the seabed!
9793TEXT_VOICEMAN_04002_000880_SOROBANWell, well! I thought I heard familiar voices.
9894TEXT_VOICEMAN_04002_000890_LYSESoroban? What are you doing here?
9995TEXT_VOICEMAN_04002_000900_SOROBANHmm? What a curious question. I live here.
10096TEXT_VOICEMAN_04002_000910_LYSEThen this is the home of the Blue Kojin?
10197TEXT_VOICEMAN_04002_000920_SOROBANJust so. I bid you welcome to Tamamizu!
10298TEXT_VOICEMAN_04002_000930_BUNCHINWelcome, guests. Gratitude to you for aiding Soroban in his negotiations.
10399TEXT_VOICEMAN_04002_000940_ALISAIEWe thank you for your hospitality, honored elder. Pray forgive me my brevity, but I wish to discuss an urgent matter...
104100TEXT_VOICEMAN_04002_000950_BUNCHINSo...you seek to compel our Red brothers to forgo hostilities for a time.
105101TEXT_VOICEMAN_04002_000960_LYSEThat's right. We know your two clans have your...differences, but what with you being...brothers and all, we thought you might be able to share some...secret knowledge...or something?
106102TEXT_VOICEMAN_04002_000970_BUNCHINFrom far above, you have journeyed here in search of our wisdom. You shall have it.
107103TEXT_VOICEMAN_04002_000980_BUNCHINAll creation is a tapestry, through which the divine is interwoven. Kami are legion, and they can be found in the great and the small.
108104TEXT_VOICEMAN_04002_000990_BUNCHINThough they come and go as they please, they favor certain vessels. The ancient. The precious. The exquisite.
109105TEXT_VOICEMAN_04002_001000_BUNCHINWe Kojin covet these vessels, these treasures. We go forth and bring them home, to keep them safe and bask in their divinity. They bring prosperity and joy to us and our children.
110106TEXT_VOICEMAN_04002_001010_BUNCHINYet how were we to seek these treasures above if we made enemies of the Garlean Empire, powerful and far-reaching as they are?
111107TEXT_VOICEMAN_04002_001020_BUNCHINWiser to join with them. So resolved the Red Kojin.
112108TEXT_VOICEMAN_04002_001030_SOROBANCautiously and carefully, for the Garleans are blind to the divine. Nor will they suffer their subjects to see.
113109TEXT_VOICEMAN_04002_001040_SOROBANSo the Red masquerade as mercenaries who seek money and power and never speak of their faith in the presence of their masters.
114110TEXT_VOICEMAN_04002_001050_SOROBANTo honor the divine, they deny it. A twisted and misguided path.
115111TEXT_VOICEMAN_04002_001060_BUNCHINAye, aye. Kami will not abide such foolishness, this they shall learn to their sorrow.
116112TEXT_VOICEMAN_04002_001070_BUNCHINWhile our Red brothers live by the sword, we Blue Kojin uphold the old ways, engaging in trade and valuing peace.
117113TEXT_VOICEMAN_04002_001080_BUNCHINAlas, men distinguish not between our clans, and judgment for the doings of the Red falls unjustly upon the Blue. Thus do men grow more and more reluctant to deal with us, denying us our treasures. This cannot continue!
118114TEXT_VOICEMAN_04002_001090_ALISAIEOn that point we are in agreement. You are willing to aid our cause, then?
119115TEXT_VOICEMAN_04002_001100_BUNCHINThere is a way that the Red may be driven to retreat into their shells.
120116TEXT_VOICEMAN_04002_001110_BUNCHINBut to share with you this knowledge is to reveal secrets of the divine. Assurances must first be had. Trust forged. A bargain struck.
121117TEXT_VOICEMAN_04002_001120_SOROBANWell said, Elder! In great crises is great profit to be had!
122118TEXT_VOICEMAN_04002_001130_BUNCHINDelight not overmuch in such things, Soroban. Now, tell our guests what must be done.
123119TEXT_VOICEMAN_04002_001140_SOROBANAs you wish!
124120TEXT_VOICEMAN_04002_001150_LYSEWell, I've no idea what we've gotten ourselves into, but so far, so good, right?
125121TEXT_VOICEMAN_04002_001160_SOROBANIt is done. Your offerings have been given to the sea.
126122TEXT_VOICEMAN_04002_001170_SOROBANThe ritual can begin at last. Come and stand before me, my friends.
127123TEXT_VOICEMAN_04002_001180_SOROBANYes, yes. Listen to my words, and let all else wash away. Listen to my words, and feel them flow into your heart...at first a trickle, then a flood...

129125TEXT_VOICEMAN_04002_001200_SOROBANReceive of us our meager offerings, Cleanse these ones of earth and stone, and grant them your blessing, That they might drink deep of the divine...
130126TEXT_VOICEMAN_04002_001210_SOROBANThe ritual is complete, my friends. You may now breathe in the depths as you would upon land.
131127TEXT_VOICEMAN_04002_001220_ALISAIEStrange. I don't feel any different. Are you sure it worked?
132128TEXT_VOICEMAN_04002_001230_SOROBAN...Reasonably. The blessing does have its limits, of course. While it will allow you to dwell in the depths, it will not help you traverse them.
133129TEXT_VOICEMAN_04002_001240_LYSEI can swim well enough. How about you, Alisaie?
134130TEXT_VOICEMAN_04002_001250_ALISAIEOh, like a fish. In contrast to my doggy-paddling brother.
135131TEXT_VOICEMAN_04002_001251_ALISAIESomehow, the boy just isn't very buoyant.
136132TEXT_VOICEMAN_04002_001260_SOROBANHmm...skilled or no, your bodies are ill-suited to the sea. Your cause demands alacrity, and you shall have it.
137133TEXT_VOICEMAN_04002_001270_SOROBANBut first, let us take to the water.
138134TEXT_VOICEMAN_04002_001280_ALISAIEIncredible... I could swear I was breathing air!
139135TEXT_VOICEMAN_04002_001290_SOROBANNow, I shall summon for you noble steeds of great strength.
140136TEXT_VOICEMAN_04002_001300_LYSEWow, look at them! I bet they could take us all the way to the deepest depths of the sea!
141137TEXT_VOICEMAN_04002_001310_ALISAIEAnd so they may─after we've won over the Confederacy, rescued Gosetsu, and liberated your respective homelands.
142138TEXT_VOICEMAN_04002_001311_SOROBANShould you become parted from your steeds, return to me, and I shall call them again. Take care, my friends, and may the kami speed you on your way.
