10TEXT_VOICEMAN_07005_000010_KOANAYou are returned!
21TEXT_VOICEMAN_07005_000020_KOANAWait there, I'm coming down!
32TEXT_VOICEMAN_07005_000030_KOANAWhere's Lamaty'i? What happened inside the dome?
43TEXT_VOICEMAN_07005_000040_KOANASo my brother is gone...
54TEXT_VOICEMAN_07005_000050_KOANAYet the danger remains, and you must soon sally forth unto an unknown reality...
65TEXT_VOICEMAN_07005_000060_WUKLAMAT(-Wuk Lamat-)Hey! Koana!
76TEXT_VOICEMAN_07005_000070_KOANALamaty'i... Is this boy perhaps...?
87TEXT_VOICEMAN_07005_000080_WUKLAMATThis is Zoraal Ja's son, Gulool Ja.
98TEXT_VOICEMAN_07005_000090_KOANAI see. Time did flow differently inside the dome.
109TEXT_VOICEMAN_07005_000100_KOANAIf he is our brother's child, then...
1110TEXT_VOICEMAN_07005_000110_KOANAGulool Ja, was it? My name is Koana, and I am Lamaty'i's brother.
1211TEXT_VOICEMAN_07005_000120_GULOOLJAYou're her brother...?
1312TEXT_VOICEMAN_07005_000130_WUKLAMATYou'll find none more dependable than Koana. He's family, and he'll take good care of you.
1413TEXT_VOICEMAN_07005_000140_KOANAA pleasure to meet you, Gulool Ja.
1514TEXT_VOICEMAN_07005_000150_GULOOLJAA pleasure to meet you too, uh...Uncle Koana.
1615TEXT_VOICEMAN_07005_000160_KOANAWell, I suppose I *am* your uncle...
1716TEXT_VOICEMAN_07005_000161_KOANABut simply Koana will do.
1817TEXT_VOICEMAN_07005_000170_WUKLAMATYou're all confused, and little wonder. Rest assured all will be explained in due course.
1918TEXT_VOICEMAN_07005_000180_WUKLAMATBut for now, I want to make one thing clear.
2019TEXT_VOICEMAN_07005_000190_WUKLAMATGulool Ja is his own person. He had no part in his father's crimes.
2120TEXT_VOICEMAN_07005_000200_WUKLAMATIf you have anger towards Zoraal Ja you need to express, Koana and I will gladly hear you. But you will treat Gulool Ja as you would any child─with kindness.
2221TEXT_VOICEMAN_07005_000210_TULIYOLLALMALEAs we should. The boy's done no wrong.
2322TEXT_VOICEMAN_07005_000220_TULIYOLLALFEMALEYes, the Vow of Resolve speaks true!
2423TEXT_VOICEMAN_07005_000230_KOANASo...will you tell me what happened? G'raha Tia has given me a summary, but I would hear your detailed accounts.
2524TEXT_VOICEMAN_07005_000240_WUKLAMATCan we walk while we chat? I want to see how things are in the city.
2625TEXT_VOICEMAN_07005_000250_KOANAIn that case, let us make our way to Brightploom Post.
2726TEXT_VOICEMAN_07005_000260_KOANAOur soldiers remain on high alert, but if the threat of invasion has passed, I will bid them take a well-earned rest.
2827TEXT_VOICEMAN_07005_000270_YSHTOLAElectrope everywhere one turns, harboring vast amounts of lightning... This place is very much alive.
2928TEXT_VOICEMAN_07005_000280_YSHTOLAKrile, try holding your earring to the terminal.
3029TEXT_VOICEMAN_07005_000290_KRILENo luck...
3130TEXT_VOICEMAN_07005_000300_SHALEDon't give up yet. The terminal reads the code─it might just need higher clearance.
3231TEXT_VOICEMAN_07005_000310_SHALEGulool Ja, would you give it a try?
3332TEXT_VOICEMAN_07005_000320_GULOOLJAMe?
3433TEXT_VOICEMAN_07005_000330_SHALEIf the king's authority has passed to you, then the gate ought to open.
3534TEXT_VOICEMAN_07005_000331_ZORAALJA(-Zoraal Ja-)But I leave behind that which I've gained by the sweat of my brow... It is yours to embrace...or spurn...
3635TEXT_VOICEMAN_07005_000340_GULOOLJAUwaaah!
3736TEXT_VOICEMAN_07005_000350_KRILEThe earring... It really was...
3837TEXT_VOICEMAN_07005_000360_YSHTOLARemarkable... A voidgate is forced open with a blast of aether, and thus appears as a tear in the fabric of reality.
3938TEXT_VOICEMAN_07005_000370_YSHTOLAIn contrast, this is the stitchwork of a master. Neatly hemmed, without a thread out of place. A power to be reckoned with...
4039TEXT_VOICEMAN_07005_000380_YSHTOLABut now isn't the time to marvel. If Gulool Ja can open the gate, then so too can Sphene close it.
4140TEXT_VOICEMAN_07005_000390_YSHTOLA'Twould be wise to employ magicks in its defense─both to maintain its stability and ward off interference.
4241TEXT_VOICEMAN_07005_000391_YSHTOLAWhile I am able to invoke said magicks, I cannot sustain them alone. I require another to channel with me, and in unison.
4342TEXT_VOICEMAN_07005_000392_URIANGERFor that role I do humbly volunteer myself, but even our combined efforts offer no certainty of success. Might we prevail upon the two of you to lend your support?
4443TEXT_VOICEMAN_07005_000393_ALPHINAUDOf course. If coordination between mages is required, few would be better suited than Alisaie and myself.
4544TEXT_VOICEMAN_07005_000394_GRAHATIAShall I remain as well?
4645TEXT_VOICEMAN_07005_000395_YSHTOLAWhile your presence would be welcome, I'd rather you joined the expedition team.
4746TEXT_VOICEMAN_07005_000396_YSHTOLAFor despite our earnest efforts, the gate may well end up closed once more.
4847TEXT_VOICEMAN_07005_000397_YSHTOLAIn such a situation, it may fall to those on the other side to devise a method to reconnect our worlds. A task with which you are not unfamiliar, as I recall?
4948TEXT_VOICEMAN_07005_000398_GRAHATIAI have faith it will not come to that, but should it, I will endeavor not to disappoint.

6059TEXT_VOICEMAN_07005_000511_THANCREDI'll make myself useful here by guarding those who are maintaining the gate.
6160TEXT_VOICEMAN_07005_000512_THANCREDShould any threats emerge, from the world beyond or otherwise, I'll deal with them.
6261TEXT_VOICEMAN_07005_000520_ESTINIENAs will I.

7069TEXT_VOICEMAN_07005_000532_ALPHINAUD'Tis done. Whenever you're ready.
7170TEXT_VOICEMAN_07005_000533_ALISAIEWe'll protect the portal. Keep it open no matter what.

7473TEXT_VOICEMAN_07005_000551_WUKLAMATWell, what we do know is that it's Sphene's domain─a place where she brings back those who've been lost. So for now, why don't we call it...
7574TEXT_VOICEMAN_07005_000552_WUKLAMATThe unlost world!
7675TEXT_VOICEMAN_07005_000560_YSHTOLA

7877TEXT_VOICEMAN_07005_000580_ERENVILLEHow to describe the sheer amazement we felt when we emerged on the other side of the portal? I fear words do not do it justice.
7978TEXT_VOICEMAN_07005_000590_ERENVILLEBefore us was a vibrant world where the memories of the departed abided and reveled in bygone days.
8079TEXT_VOICEMAN_07005_000591_ERENVILLELiving Memory, or so the Endless called it.
8180TEXT_VOICEMAN_07005_000600_ERENVILLEHow they laughed and smiled as they reminisced upon unfulfilled dreams. Alive in all perceivable ways...yet knowing no loss.
8281TEXT_VOICEMAN_07005_000610_ERENVILLESo resplendent was every ilm of this paradise, the words rose unbidden to my lips:
8382TEXT_VOICEMAN_07005_000620_ERENVILLEAll this time, it was here─the city of gold.
8483TEXT_VOICEMAN_07005_000630_WUKLAMATSphene! Are you there?

8887TEXT_VOICEMAN_07005_000670_WUKLAMATI haven't known you long, Sphene, but I know you have a good heart. Your love for your people is proof of this.
8988TEXT_VOICEMAN_07005_000680_WUKLAMATI can't let you do what you're trying to do. And deep down, I don't think you want to do it either.
9089TEXT_VOICEMAN_07005_000690_SPHENEI want a world without suffering. A world where nothing is lost... Would that such a place existed.
9190TEXT_VOICEMAN_07005_000700_SPHENEBut the Endless only grow in number, and ever more life force is needed to sustain them.
9291TEXT_VOICEMAN_07005_000710_SPHENEWithin the barrier, we have managed to curb the cycle of rebirth these few hundred years. But we've reached the limit.
9392TEXT_VOICEMAN_07005_000720_SPHENEThat is why I looked to interdimensional fusion. To harvest what we needed from your world.
9493TEXT_VOICEMAN_07005_000721_SPHENEFrom your people. And with the key, we *will* have it.
9594TEXT_VOICEMAN_07005_000730_GRAHATIAAnd once you've plundered our world of aether, what then? Will you do the same to others?
9695TEXT_VOICEMAN_07005_000731_GRAHATIAAll men eventually die. If you make Endless of everyone, you will never have enough aether to sustain them. You but prolong the inevitable.
9796TEXT_VOICEMAN_07005_000740_KRILESphene. If you would nevertheless persist in this folly, we must stand against you.
9897TEXT_VOICEMAN_07005_000750_KRILEFor we too have people we cannot lose. Places to which our hearts belong.

10099TEXT_VOICEMAN_07005_000770_SPHENEBut fate is cruel. By the time it had brought us together, our futures had already been written.
101100TEXT_VOICEMAN_07005_000780_SPHENEThe kind and gentle Queen Sphene was too weak to serve her people. And so she will serve them no more.
102101TEXT_VOICEMAN_07005_000790_SPHENEI will erase all memories of the living Sphene─she who has cursed me with this soft and powerless nature.
103102TEXT_VOICEMAN_07005_000800_SPHENEFreed from conscience, I shall become a ruler that *can* protect Alexandria. A devourer of worlds.
104103TEXT_VOICEMAN_07005_000810_SPHENEWhen two nations cannot protect their own without doing harm to the other, there can be only one resolution. It is a hard truth...but one *you* understand, don't you?

124123TEXT_VOICEMAN_07005_000970_GRAHATIAI did all that I could to make it happen. I tried everything. Spared nothing.
125124TEXT_VOICEMAN_07005_000980_GRAHATIAIn that manner, I was able to keep some few souls out of harm's way. But so, so many were beyond my power to save.
