21TEXT_VOICEMAN_03007_000020_CIDThe *Enterprise Excelsior*! Or simply the *Excelsior*, if pressed for time.

1918TEXT_VOICEMAN_03007_100110_ICEHEARTThe time is come to use Hydaelyn's gift.
2019TEXT_VOICEMAN_03007_100120_ICEHEARTMuch blood has been spilled in my name. And for what? For a false cause that I created for want of the warmth of companionship.

2221TEXT_VOICEMAN_03007_100140_ICEHEARTBut even now, I cannot let go of my dream─my dream of a tomorrow in which no child need freeze alone in the snow.

2726TEXT_VOICEMAN_03007_100190_ICEHEARTFarewell, Warrior of Light. And thank you─for showing me the way.
2827TEXT_VOICEMAN_03007_100200_ALPHINAUDNOOOOOO!

3029TEXT_VOICEMAN_03007_100220_YSHTOLAShe, too, was one of Hydaelyn's chosen...
3130TEXT_VOICEMAN_03007_100230_ESTINIENFare you well, my lady.
3231TEXT_VOICEMAN_03007_200010_REGULAOur objective lies at the heart of the isle.
3332TEXT_VOICEMAN_03007_200020_REGULAThe Third will remain to guard the ship, while the Second patrols the perimeter and eliminates any threats.
3433TEXT_VOICEMAN_03007_200030_REGULAThe First will come with me to secure the research facility.
3534TEXT_VOICEMAN_03007_200040_REGULALet no man doubt the import of our mission: the Allagans found a means to capture eikons alive, and their knowledge lies hid upon this isle.
3635TEXT_VOICEMAN_03007_200050_REGULAIf we can but acquire it, we would be able to prevent the beings from returning to plague us, thus ending the cycle of rebirth.
3736TEXT_VOICEMAN_03007_200060_REGULAI need not remind you that success will raise our legion high in the Emperor's regard.
3837TEXT_VOICEMAN_03007_200070_REGULAYet, by the same token, His Radiance does not tolerate failure. That is all. All troops, prepare for deployment!
3938TEXT_VOICEMAN_03007_200080_YSHTOLASo that is their purpose.
4039TEXT_VOICEMAN_03007_200090_ALPHINAUDTo think that the knowledge used to bind no less a being than Bahamut sleeps here...
4140TEXT_VOICEMAN_03007_200100_YSHTOLAImprisoning a primal in such a manner would represent an effective means to halt the cycle of summoning─were it not for the grave and obvious risks.
4241TEXT_VOICEMAN_03007_200110_ALPHINAUDIndeed. We need but refer to past experience─that of Bahamut's calamitous return─to see why this is not the solution we seek.
4342TEXT_VOICEMAN_03007_200120_YSHTOLAHeld in duress, a primal will continue to nurse its hatred for mankind. And when it inevitably breaks free, its rage will be beyond quelling.
4443TEXT_VOICEMAN_03007_200130_ESTINIENWhatever folly the Garleans mean to commit, they can wait. We must remain focused on our task.
4544TEXT_VOICEMAN_03007_200140_ALPHINAUDYes, of course. It would not be polite to keep the archbishop waiting.
4645TEXT_VOICEMAN_03007_300010_REGULAThat would explain my men's silence.
4746TEXT_VOICEMAN_03007_300020_REGULAWe meet again. And this time, we will not be interrupted.
4847TEXT_VOICEMAN_03007_300030_REGULACome! Show me your power, champions of Eorzea!
4948TEXT_VOICEMAN_03007_400010_REGULAI had heard the tales of your strength, Warrior of Light. And now that I have experienced it firsthand, van Baelsar's defeat seems less inexplicable.
5049TEXT_VOICEMAN_03007_400020_REGULAYou are a formidable foe, and I have thoroughly enjoyed our time together. Alas, all good things must come to an end. Allagan secrets await, and there is no profit to be had in remaining here.
5150TEXT_VOICEMAN_03007_400030_REGULAKeep them occupied!
5251TEXT_VOICEMAN_03007_400040_ESTINIENCoward...

5655TEXT_VOICEMAN_03007_400080_ESTINIENI shall join you as soon as I am able.
5756TEXT_VOICEMAN_03007_400090_YSHTOLAEnough talk! Make haste and stop the archbishop!
5857TEXT_VOICEMAN_03007_500010_TIAMAT(-???-)Who cometh to this forsaken place and disturbeth my solitude?

6059TEXT_VOICEMAN_03007_500030_TIAMAT(-Tiamat-)...Father? Can it truly be you?
6160TEXT_VOICEMAN_03007_500040_MIDGARDSORMRNone other. My form is such that I may journey with Hydaelyn's chosen─
6261TEXT_VOICEMAN_03007_500050_MIDGARDSORMRA mortal who desireth to end the war between man and dragon.
6362TEXT_VOICEMAN_03007_500060_TIAMAT(-Tiamat-)Millennia have passed since I was brought low by the men of Allag. To think that war rageth still between our kinds...
6463TEXT_VOICEMAN_03007_500070_TIAMAT(-Tiamat-)Hearken to my tale, child of man. I am Tiamat, of Midgardsormr's first brood.
6564TEXT_VOICEMAN_03007_500080_TIAMAT(-Tiamat-)In a time before time, my father did come to this star, bearing seven eggs.
6665TEXT_VOICEMAN_03007_500090_MIDGARDSORMRFrom these eggs did my children hatch. And once they were full-grown, they took wing and spread across all the lands of Hydaelyn.
6766TEXT_VOICEMAN_03007_500100_TIAMAT(-Tiamat-)Together with my brood-brother Bahamut, I journeyed south to Meracydia. And together, we brought forth innumerable children into the world.
6867TEXT_VOICEMAN_03007_500110_TIAMAT(-Tiamat-)We abided in peace, and all was well...until the men of Allag came, some five thousand years since. They slaughtered my children in droves, and took from me my beloved Bahamut.
6968TEXT_VOICEMAN_03007_500120_TIAMAT(-Tiamat-)'Twas then, when I had fallen into the depths of despair, that black-robed men came unto me. The Ascians.
7069TEXT_VOICEMAN_03007_500130_TIAMAT(-Tiamat-)They offered to resurrect Bahamut through their dark arts, and I, in my grief, accepted─a decision which I shall regret unto my dying breath.
7170TEXT_VOICEMAN_03007_500140_TIAMAT(-Tiamat-)For what they brought back was a mockery of my beloved. Worse, the Ascians gifted his murderers the means to entrap him.
7271TEXT_VOICEMAN_03007_500150_TIAMAT(-Tiamat-)Know this, child of man: the beings thy kind call gods are but specters of thy mind's creation, given form at great cost to Hydaelyn.
7372TEXT_VOICEMAN_03007_500160_TIAMAT(-Tiamat-)Many such beings yet slumber across the land, brought to heel by the selfsame empire that bound me. They must not be released into the world.
7473TEXT_VOICEMAN_03007_500170_TIAMAT(-Tiamat-)If thou wouldst end the conflict, vanquish thee the Ascians, and deliver the weak of will from the bonds of their dark influence.
7574TEXT_VOICEMAN_03007_500180_MIDGARDSORMRIt hath been five thousand years, my child. Wilt thou not forgive thyself?
7675TEXT_VOICEMAN_03007_500190_TIAMAT(-Tiamat-)The release of death is denied me here, yet I desire not freedom. Nay, Father. I shall live with my regret until the world itself hath ceased to be.
7776TEXT_VOICEMAN_03007_500200_TIAMAT(-Tiamat-)Such is my just punishment for consorting with Darkness─for calling forth a loathsome and lamentable creature which blackeneth my beloved's memory.
7877TEXT_VOICEMAN_03007_600010_HYDAELYNWarrior of Light. Beloved daughter.

8786TEXT_VOICEMAN_03007_700020_MIDGARDSORMRHaving looked upon thy deeds, I am convinced. Thou art worthy to bear Her Light.
8887TEXT_VOICEMAN_03007_700030_MIDGARDSORMRThe covenant bound me to thee, but 'twould seem our fates were mingled from the first. Though I will not fight thy battles, I will yet lend thee my wings.

109108TEXT_VOICEMAN_03007_A00040_LAHABREA**But she is grown so strong in it as to deny us our power.

113112TEXT_VOICEMAN_03007_A00080_LAHABREA**So you harnessed the Eye's power... A pity you spent it all. What will you do now, hero?
114113TEXT_VOICEMAN_03007_A00090_THORDANSo, not even the vaunted Warrior of Light can unmake an Ascian without relying upon mortal contrivances.

116115TEXT_VOICEMAN_03007_A00110_THORDANIn the distant past, King Thordan and his knights twelve fought and defeated Nidhogg.
117116TEXT_VOICEMAN_03007_A00120_THORDANThough the victory cost them dear, they were rewarded with a great prize: the dread wyrm's eyes, both of which have since been held in the Holy See's safekeeping.
118117TEXT_VOICEMAN_03007_A00130_THORDANThe Eye you possess was Nidhogg's left, and long has it served as the source of the Azure Dragoon's might. As for its twin...
119118TEXT_VOICEMAN_03007_A00140_THORDANIt has lain here, joined to the person of Haldrath, the first Azure Dragoon. For though he learned to harness its power, he was ultimately consumed by it. Even in death, his body decays not─a pitiful end for a fabled hero.
120119TEXT_VOICEMAN_03007_A00150_THORDANMy Ascian friend. Long have you and your kind sown the seeds of chaos by teaching mortals the secrets of summoning.
121120TEXT_VOICEMAN_03007_A00160_THORDANBut if you assumed that we would meekly serve as your pawns, then you are gravely mistaken.
122121TEXT_VOICEMAN_03007_A00170_LAHABREA**You would raise a hand against us!?
123122TEXT_VOICEMAN_03007_A00180_THORDANBy taking unto my flesh the soul of the legendary King Thordan, I am become a god─
124123TEXT_VOICEMAN_03007_A00190_THORDANA god who knows not cessation, whose being is sustained by a millennium of fervent prayer and the Eye's nigh-bottomless reservoir of aether.
125124TEXT_VOICEMAN_03007_A00200_LAHABREA**What!?
126125TEXT_VOICEMAN_03007_A00210_THORDANYour contempt for man has proven your undoing, Ascian. For my first act as god-king, I do hereby sentence you to die.

128127TEXT_VOICEMAN_03007_A00230_THORDANGods feed upon aether. It matters not what form that aether takes. Ascian souls are no exception. With this power, I shall put an end to a thousand years of conflict.
129128TEXT_VOICEMAN_03007_A00240_THORDANBe they sown by Ascian, dragon, or primal, wheresoever the seeds of chaos threaten to quicken, I shall excise them with my divine blade and bring order to the world.

135134TEXT_VOICEMAN_03007_B00050_THORDANYou reject my divinity, yet what have you to offer my people in its stead? Bitter truth? Virtuous suffering?
136135TEXT_VOICEMAN_03007_B00060_THORDANNo matter. If you believe your cause just, I call upon you to defend it with your life!
137136TEXT_VOICEMAN_03007_C00010_THORDANHow...how can this be? A millennium of prayer and the Eye's power combined─and still you stand?

158157TEXT_VOICEMAN_03007_E00010_AYMERICI daresay you are the first soul in Ishgardian history to arrive in our city upon dragonback. This scene shall be remembered for a thousand years to come.
159158TEXT_VOICEMAN_03007_E00020_ALPHINAUDAs we had feared, the archbishop summoned the soul of King Thordan unto himself and thence became a primal.

165164TEXT_VOICEMAN_03007_E00080_AYMERICMy people have committed unspeakable atrocities against dragonkind─even against our own. Would that we could undo these wrongs...but we cannot.
166165TEXT_VOICEMAN_03007_E00090_AYMERICBe that as it may, the future yet presents a chance to begin anew. Our nation has broken free of the shackles of a false faith, and Nidhogg shall lead his kindred against us no more.
167166TEXT_VOICEMAN_03007_E00100_AYMERICI doubt not that it will require much effort and perseverance, but 'tis my belief that, in time, Ishgard will again become a place where man and dragon may abide together in harmony.
