4948TEXT_SUBCTS606_04816_MARGRAT_000_000...I see the parade of disgruntled petitioners marching unto Thesauros has come to an end. All thanks to you, I'd wager.
5049TEXT_SUBCTS606_04816_MARGRAT_000_001Common scrips seem far too impersonal a reward for such a feat! Which is why I have secretly prepared you something else.
5150TEXT_SUBCTS606_04816_MARGRAT_000_002But, before I hand over the goods, I was hoping you might pay Theopauldin a visit.
5251TEXT_SUBCTS606_04816_MARGRAT_000_003Apparently, he needs your reassurances that I haven't been an overbearing taskmaster. A pity he's never shown a fraction of that concern for how *we've* suffered under the yoke, or lifted a finger to reform Thesauros's broken policies. But what would I know...
5352TEXT_SUBCTS606_04816_MARGRAT_000_004Anyway, he should be in Aporia, if you'd take pity on the old man. No rest for the compassionate, eh?
5453TEXT_SUBCTS606_04816_MARGRAT_000_010I'll fetch your present, so go and pay Theopauldin a visit, would you? He should be in Aporia.
5554TEXT_SUBCTS606_04816_THEOPAULDIN_000_020Ah, I see Margrat saw fit to release you from her grasp. Thank you for stopping by.
5655TEXT_SUBCTS606_04816_THEOPAULDIN_000_021I understand that you ended up fulfilling not only her requests, but those of a number of other researchers in Sharlayan Hamlet.
5756TEXT_SUBCTS606_04816_THEOPAULDIN_000_022Though I and many others appreciate the lengths to which you have gone on our behalf, I do hope you did not find the experience too vexing...?
5857TEXT_SUBCTS606_04816_Q1_000_023What will you say?
5958TEXT_SUBCTS606_04816_A1_000_024On the contrary! Your researchers are a delight.
6059TEXT_SUBCTS606_04816_A1_000_025Not “vexing” so much as “taxing”...but well worth the scrips.
6160TEXT_SUBCTS606_04816_THEOPAULDIN_000_026I'm relieved to hear it! You must be accustomed to dealing with strong personalities, given your adventures with the Archons─to say nothing of the Leveilleurs!
6261TEXT_SUBCTS606_04816_THEOPAULDIN_000_027I'm relieved you found the arrangement agreeable. I shudder to think of what complaints the twins might lodge should they suspect we were abusing your time or generosity...
6362TEXT_SUBCTS606_04816_THEOPAULDIN_000_028I suppose I should have known my fears would be unfounded. Margrat would be the last person to willingly aggravate Player Player, after all.
6463TEXT_SUBCTS606_04816_THEOPAULDIN_000_029Hers is but one small tale from the Final Days. Perhaps inconsequential compared to some, yet significant in its own way...
6564TEXT_SUBCTS606_04816_THEOPAULDIN_000_030With the appearance of the realm's first blasphemy in Radz–at–Han, our steady construction of the ark became a mad race to the finish.
6665TEXT_SUBCTS606_04816_THEOPAULDIN_000_031Then the aetherburner was enhanced, enabling our ship to become a starfaring vessel that would bear the Scions to the very edge of existence.
6766TEXT_SUBCTS606_04816_THEOPAULDIN_000_032And as our aims shifted to accommodate the escalating threat to our star, many who helped construct the *Ragnarok* suffered under the weight of the psychological burden.
6867TEXT_SUBCTS606_04816_THEOPAULDIN_000_033Of course, the *Ragnarok*'s construction was a collaborative effort, made possible only by advanced Loporrit technology and resources sourced from all across the world.
6968TEXT_SUBCTS606_04816_THEOPAULDIN_000_034But rare was the soul among us who never considered the darkest of possibilities, crushed as we were by nigh-endless labor. “What if I've made a mistake?” “What if *my* error proves fatal for us all?”
7069TEXT_SUBCTS606_04816_THEOPAULDIN_000_035Margrat was no different. And though the stress drove her into a state of delirium at the time, after the *Ragnarok* departed...well, it was difficult to watch.
7170TEXT_SUBCTS606_04816_THEOPAULDIN_000_036Insomnia, loss of appetite, frequent and spontaneous fits of crying. Anything she *did* manage to eat typically didn't stay down for long. She was inconsolable until the *Ragnarok* returned safely─and for a period after as well.
7271TEXT_SUBCTS606_04816_THEOPAULDIN_000_037Hers was not a unique condition. The severity varied by person, but all our researchers struggled in the same fashion as the Final Days wore on.
7372TEXT_SUBCTS606_04816_THEOPAULDIN_000_038That is why you─your journey and your homecoming─hold so much significance for them. You are living proof that everything we endured held meaning.
7473TEXT_SUBCTS606_04816_THEOPAULDIN_000_039Shockingly easy to forget, sometimes. So thank you for spending so much time with us.
7574TEXT_SUBCTS606_04816_THEOPAULDIN_000_040But the past is the past, and our memories do not justify the misuse of your time and energy. Should it ever be too much, I implore you to say no to Margrat and the others. They will understand.
7675TEXT_SUBCTS606_04816_THEOPAULDIN_000_041Now then, I hope you continue to enjoy the wonders that only Labyrinthos, vortex of unassailable intellect and irrepressible emotion, can provide!
7776TEXT_SUBCTS606_04816_MARGRAT_000_050Welcome back! I take it you found Theopauldin?
7877TEXT_SUBCTS606_04816_MARGRAT_000_051I have your special gift here, if you're in need of a palate cleanser. Here you go─from my heart to yours!
7978TEXT_SUBCTS606_04816_MARGRAT_000_052That, my friend, is a gleaner's uniform! Dyed a *particularly* exquisite shade. I think you'll like it.
8079TEXT_SUBCTS606_04816_MARGRAT_000_053I wasn't sure what to get you, but since you *are* my personal gleaner, what could be better than bespoke clothing? So, I leaned on a few contacts, called in some favors, and voilà: *fashion*.
8180TEXT_SUBCTS606_04816_MARGRAT_000_054If it's not too much trouble, would you try it on for me? I'd like to think my measurements were accurate, but you can never be too sure. Use the storage facility when you're ready to change and come and find me by the aetheryte when you've finished.
8281TEXT_SUBCTS606_04816_Q2_000_055Change into your new clothes?
8382TEXT_SUBCTS606_04816_MARGRAT_000_300Ahem! Testing, testing...
8483TEXT_SUBCTS606_04816_MARGRAT_000_301Greetings, comrades of Labyrinthos! It is I, Margrat. Propulsion aetherologist. Coming to you with a very special announcement.
8584TEXT_SUBCTS606_04816_MARGRAT_000_302Some of you may have noticed a distinguished-looking lady standing by the aetheryte in Sharlayan Hamlet.
8685TEXT_SUBCTS606_04816_MARGRAT_000_303Who is she, you ask? Why, none other than one of the brave souls we entrusted to the *Ragnarok*─Player Player!
8786TEXT_SUBCTS606_04816_MARGRAT_000_304Now, I realize that some of you may feel compelled to smother her with questions and affection. However! I must insist you rein in those impulses, and approach─should you elect to do so─with a surplus of restraint and respect.
8887TEXT_SUBCTS606_04816_MARGRAT_000_305Look for the lovely Hyur wearing the blue uniform. Remember─seize the moment, not the gleaner!
8988TEXT_SUBCTS606_04816_RESEARCHERVOICEA04816_000_306(-Flustered Voice-)Did she say Player Player, or am I hallucinating again?
9089TEXT_SUBCTS606_04816_RESEARCHERVOICEB04816_000_307(-Determined Voice-)I-I have to pay my respects! I must!
9190TEXT_SUBCTS606_04816_RESEARCHERVOICEC04816_000_308(-Hurried Voice-)Where did she say?
9291TEXT_SUBCTS606_04816_RESEARCHERVOICED04816_000_309(-Invigorated Voice-)Look! A blue gleaner's uniform!
9392TEXT_SUBCTS606_04816_RESEARCHERVOICED04816_000_310(-Invigorated Voice-)There, there!
9493TEXT_SUBCTS606_04816_ADVANCEDRESEARCHER04816_000_311Er...p-pardon me. Are you Player Player by any chance?
9594TEXT_SUBCTS606_04816_ADVANCEDRESEARCHER04816_000_312O-Oh. You're...you're rather different than I imagined.
9695TEXT_SUBCTS606_04816_NERVOUSRESEARCHER04816_000_313Erm! You don't feel, er...irregular do you? After your travels. Are you well?
9796TEXT_SUBCTS606_04816_NERVOUSRESEARCHER04816_000_314O-Oh, I'm so glad. We're doing quite well too! ...Erm. I-I mean, I'm glad.
9897TEXT_SUBCTS606_04816_RELAXEDRESEARCHER04816_000_315He's right, though. Thanks to you, we're living out our lives and continuing our research with nary an apocalypse in sight.
9998TEXT_SUBCTS606_04816_COMINGRESEARCHER04816_000_316Our experience working on the *Ragnarok* has proven instrumental to our current prospects. Once you've sent a ship to Ultima Thule, nothing feels too intimidating to try!
10099TEXT_SUBCTS606_04816_COMINGRESEARCHER04816_000_317...Not to mention the complete impossibility of pursuing our passions had we succumbed to meteors, blasphemies, or gods know what else.
101100TEXT_SUBCTS606_04816_GENTLERESEARCHER04816_000_318Thank you for your service and your bravery.
102101TEXT_SUBCTS606_04816_MARGRAT_000_319Sorry, sorry! Easier to ask forgiveness than permission and so forth. I had hoped we might get the chance to chat, is all.
103102TEXT_SUBCTS606_04816_MARGRAT_000_320When you and your fellows launched the *Ragnarok* and took to the heavens, you...placed your faith in our work.
104103TEXT_SUBCTS606_04816_MARGRAT_000_321Maybe you didn't have a choice. Maybe that was truly the last option left to mankind.
105104TEXT_SUBCTS606_04816_MARGRAT_000_322But you─and the rest of the Scions onboard that ship─meant everything to us.
106105TEXT_SUBCTS606_04816_MARGRAT_000_323Your safe return...meant *everything* to us.
107106TEXT_SUBCTS606_04816_MARGRAT_000_324We all gave the *Ragnarok* strict instructions, you see. We told her to spare nothing in bringing you back. Even if it meant falling apart in the process.
108107TEXT_SUBCTS606_04816_MARGRAT_000_325...And the old girl listened.
109108TEXT_SUBCTS606_04816_MARGRAT_000_326Belated though the fanfare may be, allow us to officially welcome you home, Player Player. You are and always will be the pride of Labyrinthos.
110109TEXT_SUBCTS606_04816_MARGRAT_000_327As such, we have one final question for you.
111110TEXT_SUBCTS606_04816_MARGRAT_000_328Would you say it was a smooth ride?
112111TEXT_SUBCTS606_04816_Q3_000_329What will you say?
113112TEXT_SUBCTS606_04816_A3_000_330To the end of eternity and back? Smooth as butter!
114113TEXT_SUBCTS606_04816_A3_000_331...We made it home alive, thanks to you.
115114TEXT_SUBCTS606_04816_MARGRAT_000_332Ha ha! That's...that's all we ever wanted!
116115TEXT_SUBCTS606_04816_MARGRAT_000_340Well, I daresay not even the euphoric thrill of meeting a deadline can measure up to this sublime sense of satisfaction.
117116TEXT_SUBCTS606_04816_MARGRAT_000_341...That uniform becomes you. I hope you'll remember your friends in Labyrinthos whenever you wear it.
118117TEXT_SUBCTS606_04816_MARGRAT_000_342You know, I think it's past time I tried on something new myself! What better way to cleanse the mind and replenish the spirit? Let me know if you have suggestions, O ye of impeccable procurement.
119118TEXT_SUBCTS606_04816_MARGRAT_000_343Speaking of, I'm sure the general populace will soon be clamoring for items gleaned by the hand of generous Player Player.
120119TEXT_SUBCTS606_04816_MARGRAT_000_344Since realizing everyone's individual hopes and dreams is too great an endeavor for any one woman, let's narrow our focus to things that everyone can use. Preferably for relaxation purposes!
121120TEXT_SUBCTS606_04816_MARGRAT_000_345We're counting on you, Player. Don't be a stranger!
122121TEXT_SUBCTS606_04816_SYSTEM_000_346Future requests will be selected at random from all those you have seen thus far, with the list refreshed once a week (Earth time).
123122TEXT_SUBCTS606_04816_SYSTEM_000_347You may review the items currently in demand at any time by speaking with Margrat and selecting **Make a delivery**.
124123TEXT_SUBCTS606_04816_SYSTEM_000_348Note that researcher's relaxation kits, sets of researcher's relaxation kit materials, and opal tetra will earn you particularly handsome rewards. Whenever they make an appearance, the effort to procure them will be worth your while.
125124TEXT_SUBCTS606_04816_SYSTEM_000_349Furthermore, Margrat's appearance may now be altered through the use of glamours.
