| 4 | 0 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_04002_000010_TANSUI | Gentlemen! I am told you were most unreceptive to my associate's requests. |
| 5 | 1 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_04002_000020_TANSUI | I 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. |
| 6 | 2 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_04002_000030_GARLEANLEADERDOMA | Spare me your concern, pirate. Your feeble attempts at extortion will not work on us. |
| 7 | 3 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_04002_000040_GARLEANLEADERDOMA | You remain at large because we allow it─because you are such insignificant little pests that we see no need to swat you. |
| 8 | 4 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_04002_000050_GARLEANLEADERDOMA | But 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. |
| 9 | 5 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_04002_000060_TESHITAPIRATE | Bastards! |
| 10 | 6 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_04002_000070_TANSUI | Gentlemen. 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? |
| 11 | 7 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_04002_000080_GARLEANLEADERDOMA | All talk, just as I thought. Come─let us away. I have no time for this rubbish. |
| 12 | 8 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_04002_000090_LYSE | We're all the same to them, aren't we? Savages to be ruled or slaughtered. |
| 13 | 9 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_04002_000100_TANSUI | They've always balked at paying the Ruby Tithe. But they were never so eager to pick a fight... |
| 14 | 10 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_04002_000110_TANSUI | The 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. |
| 15 | 11 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_04002_000120_TANSUI | If 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. |
| 16 | 12 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_04002_000130_ALISAIE | And where do the Kojin stand in all this? |
| 17 | 13 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_04002_000140_TANSUI | With the winning side, of course. They are mercenaries to a fault, eager to offer their services without coercion. |
| 18 | 14 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_04002_000150_TANSUI | The shellback could tell you more...though something tells me he would rather not. |
| 19 | 15 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_04002_000160_LYSE | I 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? |
| 20 | 16 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_04002_000170_TANSUI | Hahaha! Spoken like a true friend of the Doman Liberation Front. |
| 21 | 17 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_04002_000180_TANSUI | If 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. |
| 22 | 18 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_04002_000190_TANSUI | Besides, 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. |
| 23 | 19 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_04002_000200_TANSUI | Be 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. |
| 24 | 20 | TEXT_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. |
| 25 | 21 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_04002_000220_GOSETSU | That she-devil! Her perfidy knows no bounds! |
| 26 | 22 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_04002_000230_GOSETSU | She must be stopped. Come, let us find Soroban and put to sea at once! |
| 27 | 23 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_04002_000240_TANSUI | Tell the others that these ones have paid. We all have places to be. |
| 28 | 24 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_04002_000250_ALISAIE | Even accounting for the rebellion, such indiscriminate shows of force seem pointlessly excessive... |
| 29 | 25 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_04002_000260_GOSETSU | If only you knew how commonplace such scenes have become. Hmm... Are we too late? |
| 30 | 26 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_04002_000270_LYSE | Over there─someone's coming! |
| 31 | 27 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_04002_000280_GOSETSU | ...It is she! Sworn enemy of Doma─of my master! The traitor who sold her homeland to the Garleans─Yotsuyu! |
| 32 | 28 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_04002_000290_LYSE | The viceroy herself. And look─behind her! Isn't that...? |
| 33 | 29 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_04002_000300_YOTSUYU | Filth and squalor everywhere I look. How very Doman. What I wouldn't do for a drink... |
| 34 | 30 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_04002_000310_YOTSUYU | Come now, you've no reason to look so afraid! You have lived through a quarter of a century of Garlean rule, remember? |
| 35 | 31 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_04002_000320_YOTSUYU | 'Tis better to bend with the wind than stand tall and be broken. Therein lies...hope. Therein lies freedom. |
| 36 | 32 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_04002_000330_YOTSUYU | I 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. |
| 37 | 33 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_04002_000340_YOTSUYU | A 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? |
| 38 | 34 | TEXT_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? |
| 39 | 35 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_04002_000360_E3F1VILLAGER | M-My lady, I...I swear to serve the Empire! To do...whatever is asked of me...and never disobey... |
| 40 | 36 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_04002_000370_YOTSUYU | Well said that man. Of course...it wouldn't do to simply take you at your word. |
| 41 | 37 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_04002_000380_YOTSUYU | Kill 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. |
| 42 | 38 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_04002_000390_E3F1VILLAGER | I...I have a family... Kami forgive me... Kami forgive me... |
| 43 | 39 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_04002_000400_YOTSUYU | Very, very good! I've always had a soft spot for men like you. |
| 44 | 40 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_04002_000410_YOTSUYU | Next, 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. |
| 45 | 41 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_04002_000420_E3F1VILLAGER | But...they're my parents. You can't expect me to... |
| 46 | 42 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_04002_000430_E3F1VILLAGER | Ugh... Ngh... Grrraaagh! |
| 47 | 43 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_04002_Q1_000_001_NONE_VOICE | What will you say? |
| 48 | 44 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_04002_A1_000_001_NONE_VOICE | ...We will show them no mercy. |
| 49 | 45 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_04002_A1_000_002_NONE_VOICE | We can't. Not now. |
| 50 | 46 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_04002_000440_ALISAIE | Stop and think for a moment! If you go charging in now, every one of those villagers is as good as dead! |
| 51 | 47 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_04002_000450_ALISAIE | <If(PlayerParameter(4))>She's<Else/>He's</If> right. They would simply take the villagers hostage. |
| 52 | 48 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_04002_000460_ALISAIE | We 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. |
| 53 | 49 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_04002_000470_GOSETSU | Open your eyes, girl─they are already suffering! Let me go─I am putting an end to this madness! |
| 54 | 50 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_04002_000480_GOSETSU | I 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! |
| 55 | 51 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_04002_000490_LYSE | You 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! |
| 56 | 52 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_04002_000500_GOSETSU | We 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. |
| 57 | 53 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_04002_000510_LYSE | You can't expect us to stand idly by as a comrade goes marching off to his death! And this is nothing like Kugane! |
| 58 | 54 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_04002_000520_ALISAIE | ...Nor is it like the Reach, Lyse─or the Wall. Let him go. |
| 59 | 55 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_04002_000530_ALISAIE | Hold 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... |
| 60 | 56 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_04002_000540_GOSETSU | A great tower stands to the north and east. Look to its occupants for aid and succor. Together, you may yet find your miracle. |
| 61 | 57 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_04002_000550_GOSETSU | Now, leave this place. I must go. |
| 62 | 58 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_04002_000560_YOTSUYU | Tsk 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. |
| 63 | 59 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_04002_000570_GOSETSU | Enough, Yotsuyu! |
| 64 | 60 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_04002_000580_YOTSUYU | Well now...this is a surprise. |
| 65 | 61 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_04002_000590_GOSETSU | Hear me, Yotsuyu: cease this farce, here and now, and I shall surrender myself to you. Refuse, and all shall answer to my blade. |
| 66 | 62 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_04002_000600_YOTSUYU | ...Bring him to the tavern. |
| 67 | 63 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_04002_000610_TANSUI | Our most compassionate acquaintances return. For your deeds, we owe you many thanks. |
| 68 | 64 | TEXT_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. |
| 69 | 65 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_04002_000630_ALISAIE | I 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. |
| 70 | 66 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_04002_000640_TANSUI | How convenient that recent events should lend such credence to your claims. Tell me, do death and destruction always follow in your wake? |
| 71 | 67 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_04002_000650_RASHO | They had no part in it, Tansui. You know this. We all know this. |
| 72 | 68 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_04002_000660_RASHO | They came and took our Doman brothers. They will torture them for her sport─murder them for her satisfaction. |
| 73 | 69 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_04002_000670_RASHO | So we attack, and get butchered for our trouble...or do naught, and let them have their pound of flesh. |
| 74 | 70 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_04002_000680_RASHO | If this be our choice, I say we suffer the ignominy. We endure. We survive. There is no better path. |
| 75 | 71 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_04002_000690_RASHO | Until 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. |
| 76 | 72 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_04002_000700_LYSE | So that's it, then. You're just going to abandon them. To her. |
| 77 | 73 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_04002_000710_LYSE | They'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! |
| 78 | 74 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_04002_000720_ALISAIE | I 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. |
| 79 | 75 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_04002_000730_ALISAIE | The question being: do you trust me? |
| 80 | 76 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_04002_Q2_000_001_NONE_VOICE | What will you say? |
| 81 | 77 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_04002_A2_000_001_NONE_VOICE | Do you even need to ask? |
| 82 | 78 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_04002_A2_000_002_NONE_VOICE | Ask me again later. |
| 83 | 79 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_04002_000740_LYSE | We can't stand by and let innocent people suffer─here or anywhere else. I'll do whatever it takes. |
| 84 | 80 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_04002_000750_ALISAIE | Then let us roll the dice. |
| 85 | 81 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_04002_000760_ALISAIE | If 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. |
| 86 | 82 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_04002_000770_ALISAIE | You are wary of invoking the ire of the imperial forces stationed in Doma, correct? |
| 87 | 83 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_04002_000780_ALISAIE | Know then that once we have rescued our comrade and freed Isari, we mean to liberate the nation as a whole. |
| 88 | 84 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_04002_000790_ALISAIE | You 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. |
| 89 | 85 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_04002_000800_TANSUI | What, the three of you? Just like that? |
| 90 | 86 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_04002_000810_ALISAIE | Actually, 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. |
| 91 | 87 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_04002_000820_ALISAIE | If we succeed, you help us liberate Isari. If we fail, you lose nothing. A simple enough wager─if you have the stones for it. |
| 92 | 88 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_04002_000830_TANSUI | The little miss does make it hard to refuse, does she not? |
| 93 | 89 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_04002_000840_RASHO | Words are air. We will weigh you by your deeds. |
| 94 | 90 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_04002_000850_ALISAIE | Is that light I see up ahead? |
| 95 | 91 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_04002_000860_LYSE | [SURPRISED GASP REAX] |
| 96 | 92 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_04002_000870_ALISAIE | We, uh...appear to be standing inside a giant bubble. By the Twelve...I think we're on the seabed! |
| 97 | 93 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_04002_000880_SOROBAN | Well, well! I thought I heard familiar voices. |
| 98 | 94 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_04002_000890_LYSE | Soroban? What are you doing here? |
| 99 | 95 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_04002_000900_SOROBAN | Hmm? What a curious question. I live here. |
| 100 | 96 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_04002_000910_LYSE | Then this is the home of the Blue Kojin? |
| 101 | 97 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_04002_000920_SOROBAN | Just so. I bid you welcome to Tamamizu! |
| 102 | 98 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_04002_000930_BUNCHIN | Welcome, guests. Gratitude to you for aiding Soroban in his negotiations. |
| 103 | 99 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_04002_000940_ALISAIE | We thank you for your hospitality, honored elder. Pray forgive me my brevity, but I wish to discuss an urgent matter... |
| 104 | 100 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_04002_000950_BUNCHIN | So...you seek to compel our Red brothers to forgo hostilities for a time. |
| 105 | 101 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_04002_000960_LYSE | That'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? |
| 106 | 102 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_04002_000970_BUNCHIN | From far above, you have journeyed here in search of our wisdom. You shall have it. |
| 107 | 103 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_04002_000980_BUNCHIN | All creation is a tapestry, through which the divine is interwoven. Kami are legion, and they can be found in the great and the small. |
| 108 | 104 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_04002_000990_BUNCHIN | Though they come and go as they please, they favor certain vessels. The ancient. The precious. The exquisite. |
| 109 | 105 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_04002_001000_BUNCHIN | We 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. |
| 110 | 106 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_04002_001010_BUNCHIN | Yet how were we to seek these treasures above if we made enemies of the Garlean Empire, powerful and far-reaching as they are? |
| 111 | 107 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_04002_001020_BUNCHIN | Wiser to join with them. So resolved the Red Kojin. |
| 112 | 108 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_04002_001030_SOROBAN | Cautiously and carefully, for the Garleans are blind to the divine. Nor will they suffer their subjects to see. |
| 113 | 109 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_04002_001040_SOROBAN | So the Red masquerade as mercenaries who seek money and power and never speak of their faith in the presence of their masters. |
| 114 | 110 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_04002_001050_SOROBAN | To honor the divine, they deny it. A twisted and misguided path. |
| 115 | 111 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_04002_001060_BUNCHIN | Aye, aye. Kami will not abide such foolishness, this they shall learn to their sorrow. |
| 116 | 112 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_04002_001070_BUNCHIN | While our Red brothers live by the sword, we Blue Kojin uphold the old ways, engaging in trade and valuing peace. |
| 117 | 113 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_04002_001080_BUNCHIN | Alas, 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! |
| 118 | 114 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_04002_001090_ALISAIE | On that point we are in agreement. You are willing to aid our cause, then? |
| 119 | 115 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_04002_001100_BUNCHIN | There is a way that the Red may be driven to retreat into their shells. |
| 120 | 116 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_04002_001110_BUNCHIN | But to share with you this knowledge is to reveal secrets of the divine. Assurances must first be had. Trust forged. A bargain struck. |
| 121 | 117 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_04002_001120_SOROBAN | Well said, Elder! In great crises is great profit to be had! |
| 122 | 118 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_04002_001130_BUNCHIN | Delight not overmuch in such things, Soroban. Now, tell our guests what must be done. |
| 123 | 119 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_04002_001140_SOROBAN | As you wish! |
| 124 | 120 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_04002_001150_LYSE | Well, I've no idea what we've gotten ourselves into, but so far, so good, right? |
| 125 | 121 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_04002_001160_SOROBAN | It is done. Your offerings have been given to the sea. |
| 126 | 122 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_04002_001170_SOROBAN | The ritual can begin at last. Come and stand before me, my friends. |
| 127 | 123 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_04002_001180_SOROBAN | Yes, 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... |
| 128 | 124 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_04002_001190_SOROBAN | O kami of the fathomless waters, Of the fallen, the ascended, the flowing, and the becalmed, Caretakers of the shallows and of the depths... |
| 129 | 125 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_04002_001200_SOROBAN | Receive 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... |
| 130 | 126 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_04002_001210_SOROBAN | The ritual is complete, my friends. You may now breathe in the depths as you would upon land. |
| 131 | 127 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_04002_001220_ALISAIE | Strange. I don't feel any different. Are you sure it worked? |
| 132 | 128 | TEXT_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. |
| 133 | 129 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_04002_001240_LYSE | I can swim well enough. How about you, Alisaie? |
| 134 | 130 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_04002_001250_ALISAIE | Oh, like a fish. In contrast to my doggy-paddling brother. |
| 135 | 131 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_04002_001251_ALISAIE | Somehow, the boy just isn't very buoyant. |
| 136 | 132 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_04002_001260_SOROBAN | Hmm...skilled or no, your bodies are ill-suited to the sea. Your cause demands alacrity, and you shall have it. |

| 273 | 269 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_04002_002520_ALISAIE | We may be in luck. I don't see a single imperial soldier. |
| 274 | 270 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_04002_002530_GOSETSU | Then there is no need to remain hidden. Let us go and greet them as friends. |
| 275 | 271 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_04002_002540_LYSE | I'm going too! |
| 276 | 272 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_04002_002550_GOSETSU | Good people of Namai, hearken to me! We come in peace and desire only information─to learn of recent events! |
| 277 | 273 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_04002_002560_E3F2VILLAGERA | Isn't that the general? |
| 278 | 274 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_04002_002570_E3F2VILLAGERB | Lord Gosetsu!? Kami preserve, you're right! He lives! |
| 279 | 275 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_04002_002580_GOSETSU | I say, brothers and sisters, is aught amiss? Why do you regard me as one would a wild beast? Why is there fear in your eyes? Why do you tremble so? |
| 280 | 276 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_04002_002590_GOSETSU | Ahhh, but of course! You fear me a vengeful spirit of the dead! Rest assured, naught could be further from the truth. For am I not corporeal? Are my feet not firmly set upon the ground? Hah hah! |
| 281 | 277 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_04002_002600_E3F2VILLAGERA | What should we do? If they catch him here, you know what will happen... |
| 282 | 278 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_04002_002610_E3F2VILLAGERB | Of all the times for him to turn up─ Has the old fool lost his mind? |
| 283 | 279 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_04002_002620_ISSE | (-Flustered Youth-)You! But... Why have you come here? What do you want from us? |
| 284 | 280 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_04002_002630_GOSETSU | I know not who you are to speak thus to your elders, boy, but mine only desire is to be received with the hospitality owed a humble traveler─not the fear and trepidation one might afford a wrathful shade! |
| 285 | 281 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_04002_002640_ISSE | (-Flustered Youth-)What? What are you going on about? Actually, never mind. Just come with me─now! |
| 286 | 282 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_04002_002650_LYSE | This is the House of the Fierce? But there are so few of them... |
| 287 | 283 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_04002_002660_GOSETSU | Many kindred spirits remain in hiding following the rebellion. Many others gave their lives for their nation. We are the stubborn remainder. |
| 288 | 284 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_04002_002670_GOSETSU | Even accounting for our comrades in the field, we are at a fraction of our former strength, 'tis true. Yet we few are patriots─brothers-in-arms, prepared to fight with every fiber of our being to set our people free. |
| 289 | 285 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_04002_002680_YUGIRI | Ever are we hopeful that others will join our cause. But never did I dream that you would journey so far. |
| 290 | 286 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_04002_002690_LYSE | Yugiri! Gods, it's good to see you! You look great, by the way! Have you been here long? |
| 291 | 287 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_04002_002700_YUGIRI | I returned but recently, having concluded my mission. Oh, it is good to see you again, my friends. |
| 292 | 288 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_04002_002710_GOSETSU | Did I hear aright? Your mission is concluded? Then you have found the young master? |
| 293 | 289 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_04002_002720_YUGIRI | Ere we speak of that, I would know by what fortuitous circumstance our friends came to be here. |
| 294 | 290 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_04002_002730_YUGIRI | The Empire's crimes are all too familiar. Lyse─my heart goes out to your people. |
| 295 | 291 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_04002_002740_LYSE | We wanted to stay and fight, believe me, but we knew it wouldn't work. We needed more time to rebuild─and more allies to stand with us against the Empire. |
| 296 | 292 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_04002_002750_LYSE | So we decided to come here and help you free Doma. To show you─to show everyone─that you're not alone, and that the Garleans can be beaten, if we work together. I'd like to think we proved that in the Ruby Sea... |
| 297 | 293 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_04002_002760_YUGIRI | That you did, Lyse, and far more besides. Needless to say, your assistance would be most welcome. |
| 298 | 294 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_04002_002770_GOSETSU | Hear, hear! Now then, Yugiri─you must tell me of your search for our master! |
| 299 | 295 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_04002_002780_YUGIRI | Lest you wonder, he speaks of Lord Hien, son of Lord Kaien, who perished during the rebellion. |
| 300 | 296 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_04002_002790_YUGIRI | When it became clear that all hope of victory had gone, Lord Hien bade us deliver as many of our people as we could to safety beyond our borders. But as his father's heir, he was determined to fight on, and so he did─until he suffered a grievous wound in battle and vanished without a trace... |
| 301 | 297 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_04002_002800_YUGIRI | Until now. For I have found Lord Hien─seen and spoken with him. On the Azim Steppe. |
| 302 | 298 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_04002_002810_GOSETSU | O boundless and merciful kami, the young master lives! Tell me, was he well? Did his wound yet ail him? Where is he now? Have you brought him back to us!? |
| 303 | 299 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_04002_002820_YUGIRI | You may take comfort in the knowledge that he is hale and whole. However, when I invited him to return with me to Doma, he had this to say... |
| 304 | 300 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_04002_002830_YUGIRI | "If Doma yet thirsts for the blood of patriots and tyrants, I shall offer unto her my blade. But if she has had her fill of bitter draughts, I shall offer unto her conquerors my head.“ |
| 305 | 301 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_04002_002840_YUGIRI | Thrice did I declare to him that no true son or daughter of Doma would ever accept such a sacrifice. But for all my passion, he would not be swayed. |
| 306 | 302 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_04002_002850_YUGIRI | "Learn the truth of her heart and return to me,“ he said. And so I left him. |
| 307 | 303 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_04002_002860_GOSETSU | The words of one made to wear the mantle of leadership too soon... |
| 308 | 304 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_04002_002870_GOSETSU | Yet there is wisdom in them all the same. If the people no longer yearn to be free, 'twould be folly to rekindle the fires of war. |
| 309 | 305 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_04002_002880_YUGIRI | To suffer our master to surrender his life and forsake all hope of freedom is by far the greater folly. I will not go to face my fallen comrades having done naught to stop it. |
| 310 | 306 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_04002_002890_GOSETSU | Nor I, shadow walker, nor I. But we need not rouse our comrades to battle this day. Let us instead welcome our honored guests and allow them a moment of respite. |
| 311 | 307 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_04002_002900_LYSE | Imperials... |
| 312 | 308 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_04002_002910_GARLEANLEADERDOMA | Why are you milling about like a pack of slack-jawed mongrels!? Form a line! Now! |
| 313 | 309 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_04002_002920_GARLEANLEADERDOMA | ...Finally. I come before you today to deliver an announcement of the highest import, so listen well. |
| 314 | 310 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_04002_002930_GARLEANLEADERDOMA | While on a charitable mission to Isari village, the acting viceroy and her personal guard came under attack from Confederate forces. This brazen, unconscionable act cannot─and will not─go unanswered. |
| 315 | 311 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_04002_002940_GARLEANLEADERDOMA | As loyal subjects of the Empire who enjoy her safety and prosperity, you have a duty to defend her as well. |
| 316 | 312 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_04002_002950_GARLEANLEADERDOMA | ...There is no cause for alarm. We have no intention of sending ill-trained fodder to the front line. |
| 317 | 313 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_04002_002960_GARLEANLEADERDOMA | Those who are selected will be expected to perform rudimentary tasks. Cleaning and maintenance and so forth. You will serve only as long as you are needed. Afterwards, you will be free to return to your homes. |
| 318 | 314 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_04002_002970_GARLEANLEADERDOMA | You. You first. |
| 319 | 315 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_04002_002980_YUGIRI | Hmph. The Empire has no pressing need of cleaners. This is but a thinly veiled attempt to intimidate those who supported the Confederacy's actions, and isolate any whose loyalty they already suspect. |
| 320 | 316 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_04002_002990_GARLEANLEADERDOMA | And lastly...you. That should suffice for now. |
| 321 | 317 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_04002_003000_ISSE | Don't worry, I will be back before you know it. Listen to the elders while I am away, and do not play outside the village. Everything is going to be fine. I love you, all right? Remember that I love you... |
| 322 | 318 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_04002_003010_GARLEANLEADERDOMA | We thank you for your cooperation. Rest assured that this will all be over very soon─once the Confederacy has been made to pay our own “Ruby Tithe.” |
| 323 | 319 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_04002_003020_LYSE | There's no telling what might happen to those people! We have to help them! |
| 324 | 320 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_04002_003030_YUGIRI | And we shall. But before all else, we must needs ascertain their destination. I doubt this is the first village the Garleans have visited...nor is it like to be the last. |
| 325 | 321 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_04002_003040_YUGIRI | I will track these men. Will you help me? |
| 326 | 322 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_04002_003050_YUGIRI | Pray return to our headquarters and tell the others what you saw here. Should we have need of reinforcements, I would know that they are ready. |
| 327 | 323 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_04002_003060_LYSE | But I should be going with you! I came here to fight! |
| 328 | 324 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_04002_003070_YUGIRI | Soon enough, Lyse. Soon enough. For now, we must proceed with caution. |
| 329 | 325 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_04002_003080_LYSE | I know that, I do... It's just─when I saw them rounding those people up... Look, if anything happens─anything at all─you'd better call for us! I mean it, Yugiri. Anything at all. |
| 330 | 326 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_04002_003090_YUGIRI | Listen to me, all of you! We have dealt with the imperials for now, but you must flee this place, quickly! |
| 331 | 327 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_04002_003100_E3F2VILLAGERD | D-Dealt with them? Oh...oh no...you didn't kill them, did you? |
| 332 | 328 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_04002_003110_E3F2VILLAGERA | Are you mad!? There's no escaping the Empire! Running will only make it worse! |
| 333 | 329 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_04002_003120_YUGIRI | To stay is to die. You know this to be true. |
| 334 | 330 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_04002_003130_YUGIRI | Even if you lack the will to fight, surely you have the will to live! Or has that, too, been beaten out of you? Is this what has become of Doma!? |
| 335 | 331 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_04002_003140_ISSE | You are Lord Hien's retainer? Trained to fight without fear and obey without question? |
| 336 | 332 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_04002_003150_ISSE | Well, we're not! We're lost and afraid! We hate this─all of this─but we can't do a damn thing to change it! And trying will only make it worse. |
| 337 | 333 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_04002_003160_ISSE | It's a pathetic existence...but it's all we've got. And when people like you come here pretending it can be different, it─ It doesn't help, all right!? |
| 338 | 334 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_04002_003170_WOUNDEDOLDMAN | Peace, boy. Peace. She came to help, and for that we should be grateful. |
| 339 | 335 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_04002_003180_YUGIRI | Elder, your face... |
| 340 | 336 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_04002_003190_WOUNDEDOLDMAN | We all have scars. Some too many to bear. |
| 341 | 337 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_04002_003200_WOUNDEDOLDMAN | Too many battles, too much lost. Our friends, our family, even our liege. We who survived are forced to bend the knee─to sell our souls and surrender our dignity. |
| 342 | 338 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_04002_003210_WOUNDEDOLDMAN | How are we to lift our heads when this shame weighs so heavily upon us? Your courage, your resolve... They are as salt in our wounds. |
| 343 | 339 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_04002_003220_YUGIRI | If they only knew what you would do for them, my lord... |
| 344 | 340 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_04002_003230_YUGIRI | You have made your plight clear, and I shall impose my will no more. But know this, brothers and sisters of Doma. |
| 345 | 341 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_04002_003240_YUGIRI | For all you have suffered─for all the horror and the ignominy─you are still here. You are still alive. |
| 346 | 342 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_04002_003250_YUGIRI | My lord─ My lord prays you value your life as highly as he does. As for me...I swear by all the kami in creation that I will free you from this torment. No matter the cost. |
| 347 | 343 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_04002_003260_E3F2VILLAGERD | ...If the imperials come for me, I will tell them we were tricked by an Auri woman. |
| 348 | 344 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_04002_003270_YUGIRI | Tell them whatever you must to keep your loved ones safe. |
| 349 | 345 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_04002_003280_ISSE | Why would you...? After everything... |
| 350 | 346 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_04002_003290_YUGIRI | Forgive me for making you search. |
| 351 | 347 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_04002_003300_YUGIRI | It calms me, the sound. It helps me to remember the sway of the ocean when I close my eyes... |
| 352 | 348 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_04002_003310_YUGIRI | Despite the many great and noble things I said, in truth I am not of Doma. I was born beneath the waves of the Ruby Sea... |
| 353 | 349 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_04002_003320_YUGIRI | To think that you were there─that you even spoke with my mother and father... |
| 354 | 350 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_04002_003330_YUGIRI | They are in good health, then. The knowledge is...of great comfort to me. |
| 355 | 351 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_04002_003340_YUGIRI | That I might have the strength to protect my home from the Empire, I left to learn the secrets of the shinobi. Day and night we trained, ever striving to exceed our mental and physical limits. |
| 356 | 352 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_04002_003350_YUGIRI | After a time, my skills were recognized, and I was dispatched to assist the Doman Liberation Front. It was then that I met Lord Kaien and his son, and their loyal samurai, Gosetsu. |
| 357 | 353 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_04002_003360_YUGIRI | Good men, all. Brave and true, so clear their eyes, so pure their purpose. Any shinobi would have been proud to serve them and Doma. |
| 358 | 354 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_04002_003370_YUGIRI | ...But, in the end, I will always be of the sea. |
| 359 | 355 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_04002_003380_YUGIRI | Every day, I pray for my home, and for the people I left behind. That they might be spared the wages of war, and live in peace, untouched by this madness. |
| 360 | 356 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_04002_003390_YUGIRI | I confessed this to Lord Hien once. Do you know what he said to me? |
| 361 | 357 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_04002_003400_YUGIRI | He said: “Good. We are better for the conviction of our allies, and draw inspiration from their example. What is weak alone may together grow stronger.” |
| 362 | 358 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_04002_003410_YUGIRI | Never did I lose faith in them. Even when all was lost, and I led our people to Eorzea, I clung to the belief that our dream would one day be realized. |
| 363 | 359 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_04002_003420_YUGIRI | But when I gazed into those eyes bereft of hope─when those broken men balked at liberty, the dream was shattered. |
| 364 | 360 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_04002_Q5_000_001_NONE_VOICE | What will you say? |
| 365 | 361 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_04002_A5_000_001_NONE_VOICE | Together we are strong, and we must carry on. |
| 366 | 362 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_04002_A5_000_002_NONE_VOICE | It will not always be so. |

| 368 | 364 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_04002_003430_YUGIRI | That you remain resolute, even in the face of everything we have seen... It heartens me more than you know. Thank you for standing by this naive fool. |
| 369 | 365 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_04002_003440_YUGIRI | So I pray... And thus do I labor to see a new day dawn, regardless of my misgivings. When all is said and done, we can but carry on─together. |
| 370 | 366 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_04002_003450_YUGIRI | Forgive me! We shinobi are taught to discharge our duties without hesitation or doubt. Come what may, I shall not falter. |
| 371 | 367 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_04002_003460_YUGIRI | An imperial airship... |
| 372 | 368 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_04002_003470_YUGIRI | It is bound for Doma Castle. Quickly, we must rejoin the others! |
| 373 | 369 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_04002_003480_LYSE | There you are! What happened? Are the villagers all right? |
| 374 | 370 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_04002_003490_YUGIRI | W-We freed them, along with many others. |
| 375 | 371 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_04002_003500_YUGIRI | Gosetsu─we spied an airship bound for the castle. Know you aught of it? |
| 376 | 372 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_04002_003510_GOSETSU | Aye, that we do... The crown prince is come to Doma. |
| 377 | 373 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_04002_003520_ALISAIE | We suspect this is the result of recent events in Gyr Abania. Our defeat notwithstanding, there appears to be some concern in Garlemald that subversive elements may be rallying in other provinces. |
| 378 | 374 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_04002_003530_ALISAIE | Though Yotsuyu governs Doma, Zenos remains the province's anointed viceroy─and it would seem he has come to assess the current situation in person. |
| 379 | 375 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_04002_003540_YUGIRI | If Zenos is here, we must seize this opportunity and kill him. |
| 380 | 376 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_04002_003550_ALISAIE | Would that it were so simple, Lady Yugiri. You may recall that we encountered Zenos at Rhalgr's Reach. We have seen firsthand what he can do. His power defies explanation. |
| 381 | 377 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_04002_003560_ALISAIE | He faced the Alliance, the Resistance and the Scions, and he defeated us all. |
| 382 | 378 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_04002_003570_ALISAIE | We survived and learned from the experience, it is true─but if we are to defeat him, it will not be through simple opportunism. We will require a flawless plan. |
| 383 | 379 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_04002_003580_YUGIRI | We know his strengths. A prodigious swordsman trained from childhood by the finest imperial tutors, reputed to be without equal on the battlefield. Which is why we must not meet him there. |
| 384 | 380 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_04002_003590_YUGIRI | Nay, we keep to the shadows─the domain of the shinobi. And thence we strike. You need only give me the chance. |
| 385 | 381 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_04002_003600_GOSETSU | Were this but a matter of personal revenge, I would not presume to bar your path, for I myself crave that same vengeance. |
| 386 | 382 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_04002_003610_GOSETSU | But to draw steel against the Emperor's son is a grave decision, and one that will shape our nation's future. Do not forget Lord Hien's words! |
| 387 | 383 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_04002_003620_YUGIRI | What, that we should sheathe our swords if the people lack the will to fight!? I will not squander this opportunity! If we do naught, our master's life is forfeit! |
| 388 | 384 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_04002_003630_GOSETSU | Even should you succeed, Zenos's death will not win Doma her freedom─more likely her doom. |
| 389 | 385 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_04002_003640_GOSETSU | Can we defend our people against the Empire's retribution? We few against a legion? Do not be a fool, child! |

| 397 | 393 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_04002_003720_ZENOS | We labored long to sow the seeds of hatred, of fear─to train them as beasts. Now we shall see the harvest. |
| 398 | 394 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_04002_003730_ZENOS | Let there be savage beasts baying for blood, and not hollow-eyed prey cowering in the dark, or there will be no joy in this hunt. |

| 401 | 397 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_04002_003760_ZENOS | How weak you are. Is this the sum of your hate? |
| 402 | 398 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_04002_003770_YUGIRI | This is only the beginning! For Lord Kaien! For Doma! |

| 404 | 400 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_04002_003790_ZENOS | Mayhap I shall test this new blade of yours. Let us hope it is to my liking, lest your misfortunes compound. |
| 405 | 401 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_04002_003800_ZENOS | Then again, I am loath to expend such effort on the unworthy. Come─earn the honor. |
| 406 | 402 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_04002_003810_ZENOS | Ahhh...I remember you. Ala Mhigo. The champion of the savages. |

| 409 | 405 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_04002_003840_ZENOS | Oh...how right I was to spare your life. |
| 410 | 406 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_04002_003850_ZENOS | Hear me, hero. Endure. Survive. Live. |
| 411 | 407 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_04002_003860_ZENOS | For the rush of blood, for the time between the seconds─live. For the sole pleasure left to me in this empty, ephemeral world─live! |

| 413 | 409 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_04002_003880_ZENOS | You are not worthy. |
| 414 | 410 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_04002_003890_ISSE | Get away from them, you imperial dog! |
| 415 | 411 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_04002_003900_YUGIRI | No, don't... You must...you must flee! |
| 416 | 412 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_04002_003910_ISSE | We're not going anywhere! Do you hear me!? We're not running away! |
| 417 | 413 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_04002_003920_ISSE | What you're doing is stupid and reckless and I never wanted any part of it, but here we are! |
| 418 | 414 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_04002_003930_ISSE | I've spent my whole life hating myself─for every time they made me beg, for every time I held my tongue to protect the people I love. |
| 419 | 415 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_04002_003940_ISSE | And then you came along and reminded me of all the things I never said and never did, and it was even worse! I would have given anything to forget, to walk away, but I knew that I'd never be able to live with the guilt. |
| 420 | 416 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_04002_003950_ISSE | So we came─all of us! For you, for ourselves─for Doma! |
| 421 | 417 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_04002_003960_ZENOS | Death is death, regardless of the reason. |
| 422 | 418 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_04002_003970_ZENOS | Yet you seem determined to die, intruding upon this sacred ground, turning weapons you can scarcely wield upon me. Your lives will not even begin to redress the balance. |
| 423 | 419 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_04002_003980_ALISAIE | How wrong you are! |
| 424 | 420 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_04002_003990_ALISAIE | Go, now! Gosetsu─see to Yugiri! |
| 425 | 421 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_04002_004000_GOSETSU | Aye! |

| 428 | 424 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_04002_004030_E3F2VILLAGERC | How are you feeling, my lady? |
| 429 | 425 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_04002_004040_YUGIRI | Much the better for my comrades' ministrations, and your most generous hospitality. You need not worry. |
| 430 | 426 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_04002_004050_E3F2VILLAGERC | Good... If there is anything else we can do for the two of you─anything at all─just ask. |
| 431 | 427 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_04002_004060_GOSETSU | Stare any harder and you're like to burn a hole in them. Go and say your piece for goodness' sake! |
| 432 | 428 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_04002_004070_ISSE | I've got nothing more to say to them! I'm going to find out how the others are getting on. |
| 433 | 429 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_04002_004080_YUGIRI | Gosetsu, Mistress Alisaie─I owe you an apology. I acted with reckless disregard for my own safety, and endangered I know not how many others in so doing. |
| 434 | 430 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_04002_004090_YUGIRI | Scorning your wise counsel, I knowingly defied our master's wishes, and left you no choice but to follow suit. |
| 435 | 431 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_04002_004100_GOSETSU | Nonsense. I followed our master's wishes to the letter. Consider once more his words, and the intent therein. |
| 436 | 432 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_04002_004110_GOSETSU | In offering his head, he but sought to shield his people from harm─loyal retainers included. You must value your life more highly, shadow walker. |
| 437 | 433 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_04002_004120_ALISAIE | On the other hand, your recklessness did serve as an inspiration to many. Mayhap you should not be so hard on yourself... |
| 438 | 434 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_04002_004130_ALISAIE | In any event, if you must apologize profusely, it seems only right that you expend as much effort thanking the one person who supported your plan from the first. |
| 439 | 435 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_04002_004140_YUGIRI | That it does. There are no words which will suffice...but thank you. |
| 440 | 436 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_04002_004150_LYSE | Aaaaaand there they are! |
| 441 | 437 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_04002_004160_ALPHINAUD | Twelve be praised! When I learned of your rather questionable plot to assassinate Zenos, I feared we would need to recruit a new primal slayer. |
| 442 | 438 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_04002_004170_LYSE | I'm sorry we couldn't be there. Alisaie made me swear to stay behind no matter what. |
| 443 | 439 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_04002_004180_LYSE | I think she was worried I'd hurl myself at Zenos the moment I set eyes on him. |
| 444 | 440 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_04002_004190_ALISAIE | ...What? |
| 445 | 441 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_04002_004200_ALISAIE | You'll forgive me for changing the subject, but now would seem a good time to discuss where we go from here. Though the Empire has yet to retaliate, the fact remains that we have revealed our presence, and signaled our intentions in so doing. It is only a matter of time before the imperials move against us. |
| 446 | 442 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_04002_004210_ALISAIE | Given that we lack the strength to oppose them, 'tis plain some manner of brilliant stratagem is required. Therefore, I yield the floor to the preeminent tactician of our time, with whom I was privileged to share a womb. |
| 447 | 443 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_04002_004220_ALPHINAUD | If you insist... While in Kugane we debated a number of approaches and were eventually forced to concede that we cannot look to the Alliance for aid. |
| 448 | 444 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_04002_004230_ALPHINAUD | Even were it possible to ferry sufficient forces and materiel from Eorzea in a timely manner, such a massive undertaking would not long escape the attention of the Empire. 'Twould be a miracle if our ships reached the shore. |
| 449 | 445 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_04002_004240_ALPHINAUD | Fortunately, according to Tataru and Hancock's intelligence, the Empire has withdrawn most of its forces from Doma in the past year, leaving her relatively unguarded. |
| 450 | 446 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_04002_004250_ALPHINAUD | That being the case, a popular uprising spearheaded by the full might of the Doman Liberation Front may feasibly be sufficient to threaten the seat of provincial government, namely Doma Castle. 'Twould be rather easier said than done, of course, but I have seen worse plans prevail. |
| 451 | 447 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_04002_004260_GOSETSU | Then we must needs meet with Lord Hien and convince him to return, for there is no surer way to inspire our people to rise up as one. |
| 452 | 448 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_04002_004270_GOSETSU | He desired proof of his subjects' conviction, and they have provided it─through no less a deed than openly opposing Zenos himself! |
| 453 | 449 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_04002_004280_LYSE | It will work. It has to work. And next time, we will defeat him... |
| 454 | 450 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_04002_004289_SYSTEM_NONE_VOICE | Meanwhile, in the keep of Doma Castle... |
| 455 | 451 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_04002_004290_ZENOS | ...I would expect no less of Bahamut's conqueror. |
| 456 | 452 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_04002_004300_ZENOS | Prepare the airship. His Radiance will not object; we have fulfilled our obligations here. I would see this prize for myself... |

| 459 | 455 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_04002_004330_ZENOS | Because of your petty hatreds. They render you the perfect instrument to bleed your kinsmen of hope─ to make an example of Doma, such as was ordered. |
