4	0	TEXT_GAIUSD401_01474_SEQ_00	Rammbroes is frustrated over NOAH's lack of progress on the Crystal Tower.
5	1	TEXT_GAIUSD401_01474_SEQ_01	Rammbroes informs you that the investigation of the Crystal Tower is being hindered by the most mundane of security measures: a gate that refuses to open. Even as Cid and G'raha Tia rack their brains to find a solution, two peculiar individuals arrive and offer their aid. They introduce themselves as Doga and Unei, scholars of ancient Allag sent by the Students of Baldesion. Though Rammbroes is at first suspicious of their origin, he relents at G'raha Tia's behest, and allows them to join NOAH in an advisory capacity. Without further ado, Doga and Unei are asked to examine the sealed gate which leads into Syrcus Tower. Accompany the two scholars to the Eight Sentinels, and there speak with Biggs to be shown to the gate.
6	2	TEXT_GAIUSD401_01474_SEQ_02	Much to the surprise of all present, Doga and Unei open the gate as if they were born to do it. Speak with Doga to learn how this feat was possible.
7	3	TEXT_GAIUSD401_01474_SEQ_03	Doga and Unei reveal that they are “clones”─copies of two individuals who claim direct descent from Emperor Xande, the founding father of the Allagan Empire. In his desire to bring the world under his rule, Xande consorted with forbidden powers. Fearful of what might befall the world, the original Doga and Unei attempted to thwart their emperor's scheme. They imbued their clones with their will, that their work might continue in the event of their deaths. After millennia in slumber, the two clones now seek to finish what their namesakes had begun, but they require your help to succeed. The members of NOAH unanimously agree to join their cause, and Rammbroes tasks you with eliminating all hostile elements within Syrcus Tower and finally defeating Emperor Xande. See to your preparations, then speak with G'raha Tia.
8	4	TEXT_GAIUSD401_01474_SEQ_04	You have declared your readiness to enter Syrcus Tower to G'raha Tia. Fight your way to the top of the structure, and strike down Emperor Xande. ※Syrcus Tower can be accessed via the Duty Finder.
9	5	TEXT_GAIUSD401_01474_SEQ_05	You have defeated Xande, but your victory proves short-lived. Even as Doga and Unei attempt to annul the emperor's dark covenant, an entity calling itself the Cloud of Darkness pulls them into the rift that had manifested before the throne. Nero attempts to save them for his own reasons, only to end up sharing their fate.
10	6	TEXT_GAIUSD401_01474_SEQ_06	With the rift having vanished, you are powerless to help your friends. For now, return to Saint Coinach's Find, and consult Rammbroes as to a way to bring them back.
11	7	TEXT_GAIUSD401_01474_SEQ_07	Rammbroes believes that Doga, Unei, and Nero were drawn through a voidgate, and into the dark realm beyond. Though they do not yet know how, the members of NOAH are determined to save their comrades and eliminate the threat posed by the Cloud of Darkness. Rammbroes pledges to search for the answer, and bids you rest up in preparation for the instrumental role you will doubtless play in the impending rescue mission.

53	49	TEXT_GAIUSD401_01474_RAMMBROES_000_001	Excellent, I'd be disappointed to hear otherwise. Of course, “disappointed” is the word of the day, I fear. I'm ashamed to say that there is nothing worthwhile to report.
54	50	TEXT_GAIUSD401_01474_RAMMBROES_000_002	The Sons continue to probe the Labyrinth of the Ancients, and every day brings new discoveries. Alas, the same cannot be said of the Crystal Tower proper. We've not been able to set so much as a single foot inside it.
55	51	TEXT_GAIUSD401_01474_GRAHATIA_000_003	You will recall how the Eight Sentinels stood between us and the labyrinth initially.
56	52	TEXT_GAIUSD401_01474_GRAHATIA_000_004	In like manner, the entryway into the principal spire─Syrcus Tower, the Allagans called it─is also protected by technology far more advanced than our own.
57	53	TEXT_GAIUSD401_01474_GRAHATIA_000_005	Cid and I have tried every trick we know, but without success. Frankly speaking, we are at a loss.
58	54	TEXT_GAIUSD401_01474_RAMMBROES_000_006	It is discouraging, but we cannot give up. There <Emphasis>must</Emphasis> be a way in.
59	55	TEXT_GAIUSD401_01474_RAMMBROES_000_007	...And so the situation stands, my friend. Until we gain entry into the tower, I fear your talents shan't avail us. It will require time that I am loath to waste, but I have a mind to set my people to scouring such ancient texts as we have on hand.
60	56	TEXT_GAIUSD401_01474_DOGA_000_008	(-???-)Perhaps we can be of assistance.
61	57	TEXT_GAIUSD401_01474_GRAHATIA_000_009	And you are?
62	58	TEXT_GAIUSD401_01474_UNEI_000_010	(-???-)Be at ease, friends, for we share the selfsame goal.
63	59	TEXT_GAIUSD401_01474_UNEI_000_011	I am Unei, and my companion is called Doga. We are scholars of the Allagan civilization, sent by the Students of Baldesion to assist in your endeavor.
64	60	TEXT_GAIUSD401_01474_RAMMBROES_000_012	Unei and Doga? Rather unusual names for this day and age, if I might be forgiven for observing. But I digress.
65	61	TEXT_GAIUSD401_01474_RAMMBROES_000_013	You claim to be here at the Students' behest, but we have received nary a word of your coming. I am sure you'll not take it amiss if we seem somewhat doubtful.
66	62	TEXT_GAIUSD401_01474_RAMMBROES_000_014	You claim to be here at the Students' behest, but we have received nary a word of your coming. Moreover, in light of the recent incident at the Isle of Val, I should think that they have rather more pressing concerns.
67	63	TEXT_GAIUSD401_01474_DOGA_000_015	We can only assume that the message failed to reach you due to some mishap. I assure you that we are here to help.

69	65	TEXT_GAIUSD401_01474_GRAHATIA_000_017	Ungh... 'Tis nothing. There was...a pain, but it has subsided.

71	67	TEXT_GAIUSD401_01474_GRAHATIA_000_019	The same? You...you have the Allagan Eye as well?
72	68	TEXT_GAIUSD401_01474_GRAHATIA_000_020	This sanguine hue is said to be a trait unique to the Allagans! Yet I inherited it from my father, as he did from his.

74	70	TEXT_GAIUSD401_01474_DOGA_000_022	My deepest apologies, but we have no answers for you. Only one thing is certain: those who possess the trait are bound by fate to Allag.
75	71	TEXT_GAIUSD401_01474_DOGA_000_023	As your eye has placed you upon the path you walk, so too have we come here to fulfill our destiny. Absurd though it may sound, it is the truth.
76	72	TEXT_GAIUSD401_01474_GRAHATIA_000_024	It seems to me we have naught to lose by accepting their aid. What say you?

78	74	TEXT_GAIUSD401_01474_RAMMBROES_000_026	Yet know that I still mean to verify your story with the Students of Baldesion when I am able. I trust there will be no objections.

88	84	TEXT_GAIUSD401_01474_CID_000_060	Ah, some old faces to lift the spirit...and a couple of new ones besides.
89	85	TEXT_GAIUSD401_01474_GRAHATIA_000_061	Allow me to introduce Unei and Doga. They are scholars of ancient Allag, sent here by our friends of Baldesion to aid in the investigation.

92	88	TEXT_GAIUSD401_01474_CID_000_064	To begin with, let me tell you where we stand. Beyond rises Syrcus Tower, the principal spire of the structure collectively known as the Crystal Tower.
93	89	TEXT_GAIUSD401_01474_CID_000_065	The only way to get inside is through the proverbial front door─the imposing gate you see here. The problem is, we can't get it to open. It's sealed by some mechanism whose workings are an utter mystery to us.
94	90	TEXT_GAIUSD401_01474_CID_000_066	Having had no success via more <Emphasis>orthodox</Emphasis> methods, I went at it with everything from a pickaxe to a magitek cannon. Nothing so much as put a scratch on it.
95	91	TEXT_GAIUSD401_01474_CID_000_067	For a blessing, the gate doesn't try to reduce us to ashes like the Eight Sentinels, but that doesn't make it any less effective a security measure. It's fiendishly frustrating in its simplicity.
96	92	TEXT_GAIUSD401_01474_GRAHATIA_000_068	The only clue we have is the elaborate device carved upon it: a man and a woman, respectant. Allagan royalty, by my judgment.
97	93	TEXT_GAIUSD401_01474_GRAHATIA_000_069	Precisely who these individuals were, we cannot say. Nor do we know whether the device actually serves a purpose. Like as not, it is purely decorative.
98	94	TEXT_GAIUSD401_01474_CID_000_070	If you're thinking to force it, save your strength. It's no use─just ask the calluses on my hands.
99	95	TEXT_GAIUSD401_01474_UNEI_000_071	Rest assured we do not mean to waste our strength.
100	96	TEXT_GAIUSD401_01474_DOGA_000_072	Indeed. Why should we exert ourselves...when the gate will open of its own accord?
