10TEXT_KINGMF104_04949_SEQ_00Wuk Lamat's frustration is fairly palpable.
21TEXT_KINGMF104_04949_SEQ_01With little else to be done at the Meso Terminal, Wuk Lamat suggests returning to the aetheryte. If Constancy is still there, he may be able to tell you more about Sphene's impending slumber and what that entails.
32TEXT_KINGMF104_04949_SEQ_02As you search fruitlessly for Constancy, you are instead found by none other than Cahciua, who appears as she was as a living person. Having admitted that she had been an Endless all along, she offers to help with your mission to stop Sphene, but asks that you first consider a request of hers. To that end, she bids you join her at a place called Canal Town, which you can travel to from the nearby zip line station.
43TEXT_KINGMF104_04949_SEQ_03You make the brief and exhilarating zip line trip to arrive at Canal Town, a charming and scenic zone built upon the water. There, Cahciua points out Endless going about their business, each and every one the very picture of happiness. These are the people Sphene strives to protect, and you cannot hide your shock when Cahciua reveals her request: to erase them all.
54TEXT_KINGMF104_04949_SEQ_04Cahciua reasons that, if the Endless are gone, Sphene would have no motive to plunder aether from other worlds even should you fail to prevent interdimensonal fusion. Seeing the sense in her words, you agree to do as she asks while waiting for the Meso Terminal to become vulnerable. Before carrying out the deed, however, Wuk Lamat expresses her desire to meet the Endless, that she might better understand Sphene. Thus is it decided that you will speak with as many of the inhabitants of Living Memory as possible as you make your way to the terminals holding their memories.
65TEXT_KINGMF104_04949_SEQ_05You speak with a number of Endless in Canal Town, learning what brings them joy. One of them, a self-professed gourmand, recommends the popcorn at the nearby stall, and you proceed there to satisfy your curiosity.
76TEXT_KINGMF104_04949_SEQ_06You find that G'raha Tia has also been directed to the stall, and together you sample the snack. While you are shocked to discover that the food in Living Memory tastes like nothing to you, your reactions suffice to delight the gathered crowd. Afterwards, G'raha Tia mentions having seen a man who seemed to be frantically searching for something. Curious as to what the problem is, he asks you to accompany him to where he was seen.
87TEXT_KINGMF104_04949_SEQ_07The man no longer appears to be in the vicinity. If you can find him, however, perhaps you can be of assistance in some way.

4948TEXT_KINGMF104_04949_KRILE_000_001While Sphene's intentions are good, her methods are anything but. We cannot yield at any cost.
5049TEXT_KINGMF104_04949_GRAHATIA_000_002The Endless were unsustainable from the first. Sphene has been fighting a lost cause.
5150TEXT_KINGMF104_04949_ERENVILLE_000_003The Endless exist in defiance of the laws of nature. But they exist nonetheless, with Sphene holding them to be no different from the living...
5251TEXT_KINGMF104_04949_WUKLAMAT_000_004It doesn't seem like we can do much else here. Let's return to the aetheryte for now.
5352TEXT_KINGMF104_04949_WUKLAMAT_000_005The caretaker, Constancy. Perhaps he can tell us more about this business of Sphene going into a slumber.
5453TEXT_KINGMF104_04949_KRILE_000_006No sign of Constancy...
5554TEXT_KINGMF104_04949_GRAHATIA_000_007Is that...? No, that's not him.
5655TEXT_KINGMF104_04949_ERENVILLE_000_008He's left the area.
5756TEXT_KINGMF104_04949_WUKLAMAT_000_009Don't tell me he's gone somewhere else!?
5857TEXT_KINGMF104_04949_WUKLAMAT_000_010He's nowhere in sight...
5958TEXT_KINGMF104_04949_KRILE_000_011Perhaps he has taken other recent arrivals on a tour.
6059TEXT_KINGMF104_04949_CAHCIUA_000_012(-???-)Looking for someone, are you?
6160TEXT_KINGMF104_04949_WUKLAMAT_000_013Yes... He was here just earlier, a fellow named Constancy.
6261TEXT_KINGMF104_04949_WUKLAMAT_000_014Wait, what!?
6362TEXT_KINGMF104_04949_CAHCIUA_000_015(-???-)Hello, everyone. You made it here, as I knew you would.
6463TEXT_KINGMF104_04949_KRILE_000_016Is that who I think it is?
6564TEXT_KINGMF104_04949_WUKLAMAT_000_017It is! It's Cahciua!
6665TEXT_KINGMF104_04949_CAHCIUA_000_018None other. This is the first time some of you are seeing me in the proverbial flesh, isn't it?
6766TEXT_KINGMF104_04949_CAHCIUA_000_019Feast your eyes, then! She who was controlling that unassuming machine was a ravishing Shetona maiden!
6867TEXT_KINGMF104_04949_CAHCIUA_000_020...That was a bit much, wasn't it? Ignore me.
6968TEXT_KINGMF104_04949_ERENVILLE_000_021So it was true. That you're here means...
7069TEXT_KINGMF104_04949_CAHCIUA_000_022I tried to tell you. So many times. But my courage always failed me...
7170TEXT_KINGMF104_04949_CAHCIUA_000_023I am indeed an Endless. Have been for quite a while now.
7271TEXT_KINGMF104_04949_WUKLAMAT_000_024Erenville...
7372TEXT_KINGMF104_04949_CAHCIUA_000_025Now, you've come to stop Sphene, yes? I can help with that, but I have a request to make.
7473TEXT_KINGMF104_04949_GRAHATIA_000_026You know how to stop her, then?
7574TEXT_KINGMF104_04949_CAHCIUA_000_027While there are no guarantees, your coming here makes it a distinct possibility.
7675TEXT_KINGMF104_04949_CAHCIUA_000_028As my wish is relevant to your mission, will you hear me out? You can decide what to do afterwards.
7776TEXT_KINGMF104_04949_CAHCIUA_000_029Excellent. To begin, we'll need to head to a different area.
7877TEXT_KINGMF104_04949_CAHCIUA_000_030See that sentry? I'll have them grant you access to the zip line.
7978TEXT_KINGMF104_04949_WUKLAMAT_000_031Zip line? What is that?
8079TEXT_KINGMF104_04949_CAHCIUA_000_032A fun little mode of transport. They don't see much use, though, as we Endless can teleport freely within Living Memory.
8180TEXT_KINGMF104_04949_CAHCIUA_100_032This particular line will take you to a zone called Canal Town. I'll be waiting for you there.
8281TEXT_KINGMF104_04949_KRILE_000_033<chuckle> With that endearing pushiness, it could only be Cahciua. Let's go!
8382TEXT_KINGMF104_04949_KRILE_000_034It has the look of the contraptions found throughout the Isle of Haam, does it not?
8483TEXT_KINGMF104_04949_GRAHATIA_000_035Cahciua has already teleported ahead, it seems.
8584TEXT_KINGMF104_04949_ERENVILLE_000_036I'm sorry, it's just...she's gone, yet to see and hear her carrying on like nothing's... I don't know how to feel.
8685TEXT_KINGMF104_04949_WUKLAMAT_000_037I think I know how it works! I've got this!
8786TEXT_KINGMF104_04949_CANALTOWNGUARD_000_038Hm? You don't seem to be─ <bleep> <bloop> Error. Error. User registration...c-c-confirmed.
8887TEXT_KINGMF104_04949_CANALTOWNGUARD_000_039I bid you welcome to Canal Town, the resort of romance and relaxation! Please enjoy your stay!
8988TEXT_KINGMF104_04949_KRILE_000_040What a charming place...
9089TEXT_KINGMF104_04949_CAHCIUA_000_041That's them. The people Sphene strives to protect.
9190TEXT_KINGMF104_04949_WUKLAMAT_000_042They look happy.
9291TEXT_KINGMF104_04949_WUKLAMAT_000_043So, what's this request of yours?
9392TEXT_KINGMF104_04949_CAHCIUA_000_044I want you to erase us. Erase the Endless.
9493TEXT_KINGMF104_04949_WUKLAMAT_000_045What?
9594TEXT_KINGMF104_04949_KRILE_000_105And by “erase,” she means...
9695TEXT_KINGMF104_04949_GRAHATIA_000_110For now, let us hear the rest.
9796TEXT_KINGMF104_04949_ERENVILLE_000_115...
9897TEXT_KINGMF104_04949_WUKLAMAT_000_120Cahciua must have her reasons.
9998TEXT_KINGMF104_04949_CAHCIUA_000_130Oh, come now, spare me those gloomy faces.
10099TEXT_KINGMF104_04949_CAHCIUA_000_131Being alive, you're the only ones who can do this. And we won't have a better opportunity than now, while Queen Sphene is busy preparing to initiate interdimensional fusion.
101100TEXT_KINGMF104_04949_WUKLAMAT_000_132It's wrong to sacrifice others to sustain the Endless. This I firmly believe.
102101TEXT_KINGMF104_04949_WUKLAMAT_000_133But talking to you now, you seem as real as any of us. And if you need an answer right away, I don't know if I can give it.
103102TEXT_KINGMF104_04949_WUKLAMAT_000_134Is there a reason we need to act so soon?
104103TEXT_KINGMF104_04949_CAHCIUA_000_135Because, as you've just said, it's wrong to sacrifice others to sustain us. Remember, we need life force─other forms of aether don't cut it.
105104TEXT_KINGMF104_04949_CAHCIUA_000_136In the beginning, we managed with the aether of those who died in the barrier. But as our numbers grew, there began to be a shortage.
106105TEXT_KINGMF104_04949_CAHCIUA_000_137That's why Queen Sphene looked to other sources. Even the aether I'm composed of may have come from the victims of the attack on Tuliyollal.
107106TEXT_KINGMF104_04949_CAHCIUA_000_138I can't bear that thought. Can't bear to exist because someone died.
108107TEXT_KINGMF104_04949_WUKLAMAT_000_139We'd probably feel the same way if we were in your shoes... But what exactly are you asking us to do?
109108TEXT_KINGMF104_04949_CAHCIUA_000_140In each zone, there is an enormous data storage device called a terminal. That is where our memories are kept.
110109TEXT_KINGMF104_04949_CAHCIUA_000_141If you shut down a terminal, the memories within will disappear─along with those Endless created from them.
111110TEXT_KINGMF104_04949_ERENVILLE_000_142But does this need to be done now? Can't we stop Sphene first, and then take it from there?
112111TEXT_KINGMF104_04949_CAHCIUA_000_143It's precisely in order to stop Sphene that it must be done now.
113112TEXT_KINGMF104_04949_CAHCIUA_000_144Her own memories are stored within the Meso Terminal, which stands at the heart of Living Memory.
114113TEXT_KINGMF104_04949_CAHCIUA_000_145
115114TEXT_KINGMF104_04949_CAHCIUA_000_146As you would expect, the terminal's defenses are extremely tight. But it has moments of vulnerability, such as when it has just finished calculations, which we can exploit to shut it down from within.
116115TEXT_KINGMF104_04949_CAHCIUA_000_147While we wait for that opening, we erase the Endless. Once we are gone, Sphene will no longer have a reason to plunder aether from other worlds.
117116TEXT_KINGMF104_04949_GRAHATIA_000_148Would Sphene simply allow us to shut down the terminals?
118117TEXT_KINGMF104_04949_CAHCIUA_000_149In preparation for fusion, the Meso Terminal is currently performing massive calculations while gathering energy. Even if the system notices us, it cannot easily suspend the process.
119118TEXT_KINGMF104_04949_CAHCIUA_000_150Rather than doing so, I believe it will attempt to accelerate the timetable and bridge worlds before the plan can be thwarted.
120119TEXT_KINGMF104_04949_CAHCIUA_000_151It wouldn't be a decision Sphene would wish to make, but she would be able to save those who are stored in the Meso Terminal, at least...
121120TEXT_KINGMF104_04949_KRILE_000_152There's sense in your strategy, and in resolving to stop Sphene, we had anticipated that it might come to this. But to actually talk about erasing the Endless...is difficult.
122121TEXT_KINGMF104_04949_CAHCIUA_000_153You needn't feel any guilt. No matter how lifelike we may seem, we Endless are but facsimiles crafted from memories.
123122TEXT_KINGMF104_04949_CAHCIUA_100_153Besides, stopping Sphene requires that you shut down the Meso Terminal, which sustains all of us. Sooner or later, it will need to be done.
124123TEXT_KINGMF104_04949_CAHCIUA_110_153If we are to be erased, then let it be before more people come to harm. Living, breathing people with futures they deserve to experience.
125124TEXT_KINGMF104_04949_Q1_000_000What will you say?
126125TEXT_KINGMF104_04949_A1_000_001We'll do as you ask.
127126TEXT_KINGMF104_04949_A1_000_002There has to be another way.
128127TEXT_KINGMF104_04949_A1_000_003I don't want you to go...
129128TEXT_KINGMF104_04949_CAHCIUA_000_155Thank you. For respecting my wish.
130129TEXT_KINGMF104_04949_CAHCIUA_000_156I'm afraid not. We spent years scouring Preservation's records, but found nothing. It's truly a bothersome system they've created.
131130TEXT_KINGMF104_04949_CAHCIUA_000_157<chuckle> While I appreciate the thought, we can't afford to miss this chance. Do this for me, will you?
132131TEXT_KINGMF104_04949_CAHCIUA_000_158And, as a personal request... While her actions cannot be condoned, I ask that you afford Queen Sphene a measure of understanding. Know that she herself didn't choose to become an Endless.
133132TEXT_KINGMF104_04949_CAHCIUA_000_159It was Preservation that made the choice for her.
134133TEXT_KINGMF104_04949_CAHCIUA_000_160She is powerless to resist her purpose.
135134TEXT_KINGMF104_04949_WUKLAMAT_100_160What do you mean?
136135TEXT_KINGMF104_04949_CAHCIUA_110_160The Sphene you know is an ideal that Preservation brought to life.
137136TEXT_KINGMF104_04949_CAHCIUA_120_160Harnessing the love the living Sphene bore for her people, they brought forth an eternal queen whose primary directive is to preserve the Endless.
138137TEXT_KINGMF104_04949_CAHCIUA_130_160But as you know, the Endless consume aether. Sphene was compelled to find ways to procure it, and that compulsion has driven her to resort to interdimensional fusion.
139138TEXT_KINGMF104_04949_WUKLAMAT_140_160What? Are you telling me the original Sphene wouldn't have chosen this?
140139TEXT_KINGMF104_04949_CAHCIUA_150_160What the queen might have done, only she herself would know.
141140TEXT_KINGMF104_04949_CAHCIUA_160_160But the scientists of Preservation have vanished, leaving their created queen to walk alone.
142141TEXT_KINGMF104_04949_CAHCIUA_170_160So as you go about your mission, think not that you're stopping a ruthless villain. But rather, that you're relieving a troubled soul of her burden.
143142TEXT_KINGMF104_04949_WUKLAMAT_000_161Alright, Cahciua. We understand now. Both your reasoning and your feelings.
144143TEXT_KINGMF104_04949_WUKLAMAT_000_162But before we erase the Endless, I'd like to know them. I'd like to know what she fights tooth and nail for.
145144TEXT_KINGMF104_04949_WUKLAMAT_000_163If we're going to reject someone's beliefs, let it be after we've come to understand them. This is a lesson I learned from the rite of succession.
146145TEXT_KINGMF104_04949_WUKLAMAT_000_164I realize we're pressed for time, but if it's alright with you, I want to meet as many people as I can.
147146TEXT_KINGMF104_04949_CAHCIUA_000_165You truly are Gulool Ja Ja's kitten... Well, the calculations will take a while still. It should be fine if we do this as we proceed to the terminals.
148147TEXT_KINGMF104_04949_KRILE_000_166I'm with you. We might not be able to learn everything, but it would nevertheless be meaningful if we could glimpse the hearts of those who inhabit this place before we set them free.
149148TEXT_KINGMF104_04949_CAHCIUA_000_167I'll leave you to it, then. When you've finished here, come and find me at the fountain near that big clock tower.
150149TEXT_KINGMF104_04949_WUKLAMAT_000_168Right, let's split up and find some locals to speak with!
151150TEXT_KINGMF104_04949_CAHCIUA_000_169It really is a lovely place. You should run along and enjoy it while you can.
152151TEXT_KINGMF104_04949_KRILE_000_170A part of me hopes that my parents are here too, but it's probably too much to ask for...
153152TEXT_KINGMF104_04949_GRAHATIA_000_175The Endless seem to eat the food with relish, but it couldn't be real...could it?
154153TEXT_KINGMF104_04949_ERENVILLE_000_180I will not object to your decision... And as my mother says, you needn't feel any guilt.
155154TEXT_KINGMF104_04949_ERENVILLE_000_185Yet I admit I myself am still conflicted. To have such doubts after coming all this way... It's laughable, isn't it?
156155TEXT_KINGMF104_04949_WUKLAMAT_000_190Your ancestors were refugees from Lindblum? What tales they must have...
157156TEXT_KINGMF104_04949_CAHCIUA_000_195I must say, I'm starting to enjoy myself. Even if it's only brief, this has the feel of a journey.
158157TEXT_KINGMF104_04949_CHEERFULENDLESS04949_000_200Well now, I don't believe I've seen you around before. A newcomer, I take it?
159158TEXT_KINGMF104_04949_CHEERFULENDLESS04949_000_201It's wonderful here, let me tell you! Why, I just bumped into a dear friend in life, and we've been whiling away the hours reminiscing.
160159TEXT_KINGMF104_04949_CHEERFULENDLESS04949_000_202It might have been more like days, actually. You don't get a sense of the time here.
161160TEXT_KINGMF104_04949_CHEERFULENDLESS04949_000_203By the way, did you hear the announcement earlier? As much as I love this place, I wonder if Queen Sphene can really sustain us forever...
162161TEXT_KINGMF104_04949_CHEERFULENDLESS04949_000_204But I suppose there's no use worrying about such things. Anyway, thanks to you, we found a break in our conversation. We'll go and ride the gondola next!
163162TEXT_KINGMF104_04949_CALMENDLESS04949_000_205Oh, hello there. Taking in the sights of Canal Town too, are you? Both my wife and I just adore this place.
164163TEXT_KINGMF104_04949_CALMENDLESS04949_000_206We had become estranged in life, she and I, but being here gave us the chance to reconcile.
