10TEXT_CTSWKSDYLISE_00971_DYLISE_200_001Our endeavors on Oizys have begun in earnest! I look forward to working with you as we unearth the secrets of this star.
21TEXT_CTSWKSDYLISE_00971_DYLISE_000_001Preparations for the habitation modules are well underway! With their completion, I expect to see an influx of contributors to the Megalithopolis and its environs.
32TEXT_CTSWKSDYLISE_00971_DYLISE_000_002And to cope with the surge in numbers, improvements to the base are also called for─not least to the rainbow crystal's provisional housing.
43TEXT_CTSWKSDYLISE_00971_DYLISE_000_003Still, provisional housing is better than none! The scouting party had a rather torrid time on arrival without the crystal's protection. Only with the aid of gravitational magicks did they manage to gain a foothold.
54TEXT_CTSWKSDYLISE_00971_DYLISE_200_003Completion of the habitation modules marks an important malmstone of our tenure on Oizys. May the benefits of a good night's sleep propel our efforts ever further!
65TEXT_CTSWKSDYLISE_00971_DYLISE_000_004As you can see, construction teams are currently preparing for an essential infrastructure project. With stable supplies of power and potable water, our endeavors will hopefully be subject to fewer restrictions.
76TEXT_CTSWKSDYLISE_00971_DYLISE_000_005I also requested a habitation module be built next to the energization station for use as a personal laboratory. My research instruments are rather power-hungry, but the close proximity to the power supply ought to prevent any potential issues.
87TEXT_CTSWKSDYLISE_00971_DYLISE_000_006I plan to spend my time there analyzing the reams of data generated by the initiative. I shan't be accepting visitors, though─I'd hate for my colleagues to see me hunched over my desk, surrounded by the inevitable clutter of scientific inquiry!
98TEXT_CTSWKSDYLISE_00971_DYLISE_200_006I am pleased to say the brand-new energization and hydrofication stations have more than met our infrastructure needs. With this, the initiative's endeavors─not to mention my own research efforts─shall surely flourish!
109TEXT_CTSWKSDYLISE_00971_DYLISE_000_007Here we shall construct two sophisticated machines for bending gravity to our will. The technology is a remarkable blend of Loporrit ingenuity and gravitational magicks that I am keen to see succeed.
1110TEXT_CTSWKSDYLISE_00971_DYLISE_000_008If calculations are correct, the devices will be able to manipulate gravity on a nigh-perpetual basis. What's more, they can assemble the nearby floating rocks into a stable pathway!
1211TEXT_CTSWKSDYLISE_00971_DYLISE_000_009Some suggested we fashion a rudimentary chain bridge between the two points, but the plan was deemed unworkable. The opposing landmass is being inexorably drawn towards the anomaly─there's a risk the chains would simply snap under the strain.
1312TEXT_CTSWKSDYLISE_00971_DYLISE_200_009Shadefleet is finally accessible! A good thing too─the sector is said to harbor a wealth of geological marvels.
1413TEXT_CTSWKSDYLISE_00971_DYLISE_000_010That giant crystalline form is the Euhedron. Analysis suggests it is composed of a peculiar, highly pure mineral found here on the star.
1514TEXT_CTSWKSDYLISE_00971_DYLISE_000_011Structurally, it differs markedly from the rainbow crystal, and appears to house vast quantities of data. By activating it, we hope to access whatever lies within.
1615TEXT_CTSWKSDYLISE_00971_DYLISE_000_012Some of our researchers attest that the crystal has structural characteristics in common with fossilized trees─with notable deviations due to mutation, of course. Perhaps Oizys was once heavily forested...
1716TEXT_CTSWKSDYLISE_00971_DYLISE_200_012To think that such a striking emerald hue was hiding beneath the patina of dust and dirt! I cannot wait to begin analyzing the data lurking within.
1817TEXT_CTSWKSDYLISE_00971_DYLISE_200_013That said, our efforts seem to have merely been the first step towards restoring the Euhedron's functionality. I wonder if it is damaged in some way...
1918TEXT_CTSWKSDYLISE_00971_DYLISE_200_014The cosmoport continues to evolve. A worthy allocation of resources if it means improved communications with Phaenna and our Studium colleagues.
2019TEXT_CTSWKSDYLISE_00971_DYLISE_000_013The nearby anomaly has exposed part of what appears to be an ancient structure. Although it is too soon to draw conclusions, I'm inclined to think this is but one section of a much larger complex.
2120TEXT_CTSWKSDYLISE_00971_DYLISE_000_014If that is the case, there's every likelihood we'll uncover more about the star's previous residents. I, for one, can barely contain my excitement!
2221TEXT_CTSWKSDYLISE_00971_DYLISE_000_015But first we need to shift this mess of debris... Not the most engaging work, I'll be the first to admit─but just think of the potential wonders awaiting us!
2322TEXT_CTSWKSDYLISE_00971_DYLISE_200_015Behold this magnificent portal to the unknown! I am now utterly convinced an expansive structure lies beyond, ripe for exploration!
2423TEXT_CTSWKSDYLISE_00971_DYLISE_000_016Namingway has graciously provided an appellation for these ruins: Desert Burrow. I'm rather fond of it, myself.
2524TEXT_CTSWKSDYLISE_00971_DYLISE_000_017Excavation has revealed what appears to be an entrance. At any rate, preliminary scans indicate there is an empty void behind it.
2625TEXT_CTSWKSDYLISE_00971_DYLISE_000_018I'm sure you've noticed the two crystalline objects flanking the door. If we're able to activate them, I believe we shall be granted entrance. For all we know, this could be a vast subterranean complex built by the star's former residents!
2726TEXT_CTSWKSDYLISE_00971_DYLISE_200_018Just as I predicted, the crystals by the entrance were key to accessing the interior─and what a spectacular sight it has proven to be! My heart is singing with excitement!
2827TEXT_CTSWKSDYLISE_00971_DYLISE_000_019Since activating the crystals and entering the ruins, our investigation has made considerable progress. As far as we can glean, these passageways are not the result of excavation─at least not in the conventional sense.
2928TEXT_CTSWKSDYLISE_00971_DYLISE_000_020We believe the structures forming the Megalithopolis were coaxed from the ground via aetheric manipulation. I posit the same method was used to create these tunnels.
3029TEXT_CTSWKSDYLISE_00971_DYLISE_000_021No doubt its builders sought the mineral veins that streak the depths in these parts. In other words, you and I are likely standing in an ancient mine.
3130TEXT_CTSWKSDYLISE_00971_DYLISE_000_022As for the crystalline structure, we've taken to calling it the Guide Stone, for it appears to control the ruins in their entirety.
3231TEXT_CTSWKSDYLISE_00971_DYLISE_000_023It is unquestionably our next object of study, and pivotal to unlocking the secrets of Desert Burrow. Of this I am sure!
3332TEXT_CTSWKSDYLISE_00971_DYLISE_200_023Here we are in what must be the furthest depths of the ruins, standing before yet another crystal! The next phase of inquiry awaits─but where to begin?
3433TEXT_CTSWKSDYLISE_00971_DYLISE_000_024Awakening the Guide Stone led us here to another crystal slumbering in the ruins: the Metahedron!
3534TEXT_CTSWKSDYLISE_00971_DYLISE_000_025With this latest discovery, I believe we can categorically state these tunnels are the remnants of an ancient mine. At the very least, the crystal appears to have formed here naturally.
3635TEXT_CTSWKSDYLISE_00971_DYLISE_000_026Like the Euhedron, the crystal probably functioned as a vast data storage device. Of course, until we activate it, I cannot offer much more than conjecture.
3736TEXT_CTSWKSDYLISE_00971_DYLISE_000_027One thing is certain: the Metahedron is in a far better state than its Terra Firma sibling. I daresay its location underground offered a degree of protection against the gravitational anomalies. I have high hopes for a successful reactivation!
3837TEXT_CTSWKSDYLISE_00971_DYLISE_200_027The crystal gleams the same glorious green as the restored Euhedron! We have revealed its color─now to reveal its secrets!
3938TEXT_CTSWKSDYLISE_00971_DYLISE_200_028I'm currently analyzing the data gleaned from our Desert Burrow investigations. I sense we're on the precipice of startling new discoveries regarding the crystals and their true form!
4039TEXT_CTSWKSDYLISE_00971_DYLISE_000_028Our next task is to build a giant aetheric resonator here in the base. The device will compensate for defects and data loss in the Euhedron and secure a path to its complete reawakening!
4140TEXT_CTSWKSDYLISE_00971_DYLISE_000_029Oh, I also have news concerning the Metahedron. Examining its aetherial signature has revealed that it, too, contains a wealth of data.
4241TEXT_CTSWKSDYLISE_00971_DYLISE_000_030At this stage, we have only verified the presence of data, not its content or format.
4342TEXT_CTSWKSDYLISE_00971_DYLISE_000_031We did, however, ascertain that the Euhedron and Metahedron bear corresponding aetherial signatures. In other words, they likely contain the same data!
4443TEXT_CTSWKSDYLISE_00971_DYLISE_000_032The aetheric resonance device will serve to link the two crystals. By synchronizing the pair, we can theoretically supplement the Euhedron's missing data with that preserved on the Metahedron, thus facilitating the former's restoration!
4544TEXT_CTSWKSDYLISE_00971_DYLISE_200_032With the addition of the Orthostat Tower, Terra Firma's evolution is complete. Now we may shift our focus to the Euhedron and its long-awaited reawakening!
4645TEXT_CTSWKSDYLISE_00971_DYLISE_000_033Now that the Orthostat Tower is finished, work may begin on synchronizing the two crystals, restoring the Euhedron, and delving into the star's mysterious past.
4746TEXT_CTSWKSDYLISE_00971_DYLISE_000_034If all has gone to plan, the tower should be emitting an unseen torrent of aetherial information as we speak.
4847TEXT_CTSWKSDYLISE_00971_DYLISE_000_035Unfortunately, owing to the sheer volume of data involved, it will be some time before the two crystals are synchronized and the Euhedron is restored. Do be sure to check in on progress now and then!
4948TEXT_CTSWKSDYLISE_00971_DYLISE_000_036The research teams and I are busy analyzing the navigational chart that appeared once the Euhedron was reactivated. Simply put, this is the culmination of all our efforts here on Oizys!
5049TEXT_CTSWKSDYLISE_00971_DYLISE_000_037If we can determine the route traversed by the star's former inhabitants, what choice will we have but to set a course for that very location! I sense exciting times ahead for the initiative!
5150TEXT_CTSWKSDYLISE_00971_DYLISE_000_038A detailed exercise and nutrition regimen? Compulsory rest breaks? This vicarious vacationer is reassuringly thorough!
5251TEXT_CTSWKSDYLISE_00971_DYLISE_000_039Ah, perhaps there is something you'd like to know about our endeavors on Oizys?
5352TEXT_CTSWKSDYLISE_00971_Q1_000_000What will you ask about?
5453TEXT_CTSWKSDYLISE_00971_A1_000_002The Megalithopolis.
5554TEXT_CTSWKSDYLISE_00971_A1_000_003Base infrastructure.
5655TEXT_CTSWKSDYLISE_00971_A1_000_004The gravitational generators.
5756TEXT_CTSWKSDYLISE_00971_A1_000_005Activating the Euhedron.
5857TEXT_CTSWKSDYLISE_00971_A1_000_006Excavating the entrance to Desert Burrow.
5958TEXT_CTSWKSDYLISE_00971_A1_000_007Unlocking the entrance to Desert Burrow.
6059TEXT_CTSWKSDYLISE_00971_A1_000_008Activating the Guide Stone in Desert Burrow.
6160TEXT_CTSWKSDYLISE_00971_A1_000_009Reawakening the Metahedron.
6261TEXT_CTSWKSDYLISE_00971_A1_000_010The Orthostat Tower.
6362TEXT_CTSWKSDYLISE_00971_A1_000_011Restoring the Euhedron.
6463TEXT_CTSWKSDYLISE_00971_A1_000_012Nothing.
6564TEXT_CTSWKSDYLISE_00971_DYLISE_100_001Constructing the habitation modules was a major malmstone for the initiative. Once they were complete, the Megalithopolis quickly began to feel like a thriving hub of activity!
6665TEXT_CTSWKSDYLISE_00971_DYLISE_100_002Of course, the endeavor demanded significant improvements to the base's infrastructure─the rainbow crystal in particular.
6766TEXT_CTSWKSDYLISE_00971_DYLISE_100_003Speaking of which, the scouting party had a torrid time on arrival without any counteracting force to the gravity spheres. Indeed, they had to use gravitational magicks just to gain a foothold!
6867TEXT_CTSWKSDYLISE_00971_DYLISE_100_004Providing sufficient energy and water to meet our needs was an early project goal, lest we were to endure constant shortages. Thus, plans were drawn up for energization and hydrofication stations.
6968TEXT_CTSWKSDYLISE_00971_DYLISE_100_005I also had the construction teams build this personal laboratory for me. Given how power-hungry my research instruments are, I deemed it paramount to be close to the energy supply.
7069TEXT_CTSWKSDYLISE_00971_DYLISE_100_006And I'm happy to report that I haven't suffered a single power outage! Though the less said about the state of my lab the better─I can never seem to find the time to tidy when I get absorbed in my work...
7170TEXT_CTSWKSDYLISE_00971_DYLISE_100_007With the completion of those sophisticated machines, we gained access to Shadefleet. The technology itself is a remarkable blend of Loporrit ingenuity and gravitational magicks that allows us to bend gravity to our will!
7271TEXT_CTSWKSDYLISE_00971_DYLISE_100_008In theory, the devices will maintain their hold on the floating rock bridge in near-perpetuity.
7372TEXT_CTSWKSDYLISE_00971_DYLISE_100_009Some suggested we fashion a rudimentary chain bridge between the two points, but the plan was abandoned. The opposing landmass is slowly shifting towards the gravitational anomaly─we concluded the chains would have snapped under such extreme tension.
7473TEXT_CTSWKSDYLISE_00971_DYLISE_100_010The Euhedron is the giant crystalline form in the center of Terra Firma. Our analysis showed it is composed of a strange, incredibly pure mineral found here on Oizys.
7574TEXT_CTSWKSDYLISE_00971_DYLISE_100_011Structurally, it differs considerably from the rainbow crystal, and its complex internal circuitry houses vast quantities of data. Thankfully, we were able to reactivate it, and are currently analyzing the information stored within.
7675TEXT_CTSWKSDYLISE_00971_DYLISE_100_012Some of our researchers attest that the crystal bears similarities to fossilized trees─albeit nigh mutated beyond recognition. Maybe Oizys was once a more verdant land?
7776TEXT_CTSWKSDYLISE_00971_DYLISE_100_013When an anomaly exposed part of an ancient structure, we began to speculate that a sizable complex lay hidden beneath the sand and rock.
7877TEXT_CTSWKSDYLISE_00971_DYLISE_100_014Thinking about what we might uncover filled me with such excitement! I could scarcely restrain myself at the time.
7978TEXT_CTSWKSDYLISE_00971_DYLISE_100_015In retrospect, that excitement was premature─for we had an arduous task ahead of us shifting all that debris!
8079TEXT_CTSWKSDYLISE_00971_DYLISE_100_016As you may recall, Desert Burrow is the moniker Namingway bestowed upon the ruins in the north.
8180TEXT_CTSWKSDYLISE_00971_DYLISE_100_017Excavating the rubble unveiled a door that scans suggested was mere ilms thick, implying an empty space lay just beyond.
8281TEXT_CTSWKSDYLISE_00971_DYLISE_100_018We also discovered two crystalline objects by the entrance which I correctly hypothesized to be an unlocking mechanism. And once we stepped inside, oh, how my mind raced at the prospect of learning more about the star's past!
8382TEXT_CTSWKSDYLISE_00971_DYLISE_100_019Once we activated the crystals and entered the ruins, our investigation made considerable progress. Interestingly, it soon became apparent that the passageways we traversed were not the result of excavation in the traditional sense.
8483TEXT_CTSWKSDYLISE_00971_DYLISE_100_020We believe the various parts of the Megalithopolis were coaxed from the ground via aetheric manipulation, and I posited the same method was used to remove the material necessary to create those tunnels.
8584TEXT_CTSWKSDYLISE_00971_DYLISE_100_021I made an assertion─that the tunnels were built in the pursuit of minerals found in the region. In other words, what we had discovered was, in fact, an ancient mine.
8685TEXT_CTSWKSDYLISE_00971_DYLISE_100_022We named the first crystal we found within those tunnels the Guide Stone, as it seemed to be a kind of control interface for the ruins as a whole.
8786TEXT_CTSWKSDYLISE_00971_DYLISE_100_023It was clear to us that we would need to study the crystal, lest the secrets of Desert Burrow lay forever out of reach.
8887TEXT_CTSWKSDYLISE_00971_DYLISE_100_024Awakening the Guide Stone led us to the Metahedron─yet another crystal slumbering in the ruins!
8988TEXT_CTSWKSDYLISE_00971_DYLISE_100_025With that discovery, I was confident the tunnels were indeed the remnants of an ancient mine, for the crystals were clearly natural formations.
9089TEXT_CTSWKSDYLISE_00971_DYLISE_100_026Even at the time, we hypothesized the Metahedron stored data in a similar fashion to the Euhedron.
9190TEXT_CTSWKSDYLISE_00971_DYLISE_100_027It is worth mentioning that the crystal's excellent condition gave us high hopes we could reactivate it. At any rate, it was in a far better state than we found its Terra Firma sibling in!
9291TEXT_CTSWKSDYLISE_00971_DYLISE_100_028After our successes in Desert Burrow, our sights were set on building a giant aetheric resonator in Terra Firma. We hoped the device would compensate for defects and data loss in the Euhedron and secure a path to its complete reawakening.
9392TEXT_CTSWKSDYLISE_00971_DYLISE_100_029It was at this point that we finished examining the Metahedron's aetherial signature and discovered that it, too, contained a wealth of data.
9493TEXT_CTSWKSDYLISE_00971_DYLISE_100_030Although I must point out that we had only verified the presence of data, not its content or format.
9594TEXT_CTSWKSDYLISE_00971_DYLISE_100_031We did, however, ascertain that the Euhedron and Metahedron bore corresponding aetherial signatures. Our initial conclusion was that they contained the same data.
9695TEXT_CTSWKSDYLISE_00971_DYLISE_100_032The purpose of the aetheric resonance device was to link the two crystals. By synchronizing the pair, we could theoretically supplement the Euhedron's missing data with that preserved on the Metahedron, thereby restoring the former.
9796TEXT_CTSWKSDYLISE_00971_DYLISE_100_033Once the Orthostat Tower was finished, work began on synchronizing the two crystals and restoring the Euhedron. By this stage I could sense how tantalizingly close we were to understanding the star's esoteric past!
9897TEXT_CTSWKSDYLISE_00971_DYLISE_100_034Upon activation, the tower generated a torrent of aetherial information invisible to the naked eye.
9998TEXT_CTSWKSDYLISE_00971_DYLISE_100_035It took some time to synchronize the two crystals due to the sheer volume of data involved, but the wait only made the discovery of the navigational chart all the sweeter!
10099TEXT_CTSWKSDYLISE_00971_DYLISE_300_000As we take our first steps upon Auxesia, we shall have ever greater need of your assistance, Player.
101100TEXT_CTSWKSDYLISE_00971_DYLISE_300_001As always, we must start by building habitation modules. Luckily, these cylindrical substructures make for a suitably sturdy foundation.
102101TEXT_CTSWKSDYLISE_00971_DYLISE_300_002It feels as though we're expanding the city, doesn't it? Rest assured we'll avail ourselves of the ruins, too, so long as they pass inspection.
103102TEXT_CTSWKSDYLISE_00971_DYLISE_300_003The overgrowth, however, will prove the greater challenge. I hear the scouting party has been hacking away at it since the *Galactic Way* first landed...
104103TEXT_CTSWKSDYLISE_00971_DYLISE_300_004With the habitation modules complete, we're off to a smooth start. Let's maintain this momentum!
105104TEXT_CTSWKSDYLISE_00971_DYLISE_300_005Our next step is to establish the infrastructure most essential to our daily duties. Even locally sourced aether and water must be processed for our safety, after all.
106105TEXT_CTSWKSDYLISE_00971_DYLISE_300_006I had hoped to reactivate the Voyagers' abandoned devices, but as they appear to function using an as-of-yet unidentified power source, the energy we generate shall be ours alone...
107106TEXT_CTSWKSDYLISE_00971_DYLISE_300_007At any rate, my personal laboratory shall be constructed next door, so feel free to stop by if you have need of me.
108107TEXT_CTSWKSDYLISE_00971_DYLISE_300_008At last! With renewed access to power and water, I say we summon the crew and charge forth in unhindered pursuit of research and exploration!
109108TEXT_CTSWKSDYLISE_00971_DYLISE_300_009Our present objective is to restore the Sprouting Towerling in the Netroot Radius. We suspect it was once vitally important, but we can't be sure until it's reactivated.
110109TEXT_CTSWKSDYLISE_00971_DYLISE_300_010Similar to Oizys, it appears that its prolonged inactivity is caused by aether deprivation, in this case owing to the surrounding vegetation obstructing the currents.
111110TEXT_CTSWKSDYLISE_00971_DYLISE_300_011To combat this, the research team has prepared an alchemical solution. Adapted from the stimulant used on Oizys, it returns any plant to standard parameters!
112111TEXT_CTSWKSDYLISE_00971_DYLISE_300_012Now that the aether flows unfettered and the Sprouting Towerling is restored, I expect we shall gain vital insights into the city's layout!
113112TEXT_CTSWKSDYLISE_00971_DYLISE_300_013The Sprouting Towerling holds a vast data storage device akin to the Euhedron on Oizys. Speaking from experience, a direct connection would expedite our analysis.
114113TEXT_CTSWKSDYLISE_00971_DYLISE_300_014Thus we shall expand our base to encompass the tower, primarily by upgrading the energization station and installing an aether converter.
115114TEXT_CTSWKSDYLISE_00971_DYLISE_300_015By processing and converting the data into lightning aether, it will be decidedly easier to read, hastening our analysis exponentially!
116115TEXT_CTSWKSDYLISE_00971_DYLISE_300_016According to my exotablet, our newfound connection to the Sprouting Towerling is strong enough for active analysis. At last, we can make some proper headway!
117116TEXT_CTSWKSDYLISE_00971_DYLISE_300_017The tower's aetheric circuitry extends through the city core. If we follow it, we're sure to find the components needed to bring the whole thing back to life!
118117TEXT_CTSWKSDYLISE_00971_DYLISE_300_018The Sprouting Towerling's aether circuits have led us to another inert mechanism to the northwest. Hardly a surprise, given the presence of a second tower.
119118TEXT_CTSWKSDYLISE_00971_DYLISE_300_019Yet as before, countless years' worth of overgrown foliage bars our path. I say we bring in our new heavy machinery and blast clean through!
120119TEXT_CTSWKSDYLISE_00971_DYLISE_300_020Surely this civilization had some magical means of controlling such abundant life force. Their absence has wrought havoc indeed...
121120TEXT_CTSWKSDYLISE_00971_DYLISE_300_021The Cosmic Harvester made short work of that overgrowth! Yet the Sunning Towerling otherwise bears little resemblance to its sibling... Further investigation awaits!
122121TEXT_CTSWKSDYLISE_00971_DYLISE_300_022In our previous efforts, treating the abnormal plant growth was all it took to restore aether flow. This time, we'll need a different strategy.
123122TEXT_CTSWKSDYLISE_00971_DYLISE_300_023The Sunning Towerling is nestled amid several arcane mechanisms linked to its interior. Supplied with sufficient aether, I suspect they'll do the heavy lifting.
124123TEXT_CTSWKSDYLISE_00971_DYLISE_300_024Hmmm... That it remains dormant even now suggests no direct connection to the city circuits. Was it intentionally isolated? To reduce operational risk, perhaps...?
125124TEXT_CTSWKSDYLISE_00971_DYLISE_300_025The Sunning Towerling is restored, and the surrounding crystals are replete with aether! Now, where shall we start our analysis...?
126125TEXT_CTSWKSDYLISE_00971_DYLISE_300_026With two towers active, the research team is swimming in analysis work, and we've noticed recurring patterns in the data─possibly the Voyagers' language.
127126TEXT_CTSWKSDYLISE_00971_DYLISE_300_027For a mercy, Auxesia has no shortage of aether with which to power our facilities, but I fear our consumption will be on a par with the *Ragnarok* ere long...
128127TEXT_CTSWKSDYLISE_00971_DYLISE_300_028The expansion of the cosmoport is a welcome upgrade, as cooperation with Etheirys is essential to our plant research and aether analysis.
129128TEXT_CTSWKSDYLISE_00971_DYLISE_300_029The Stratostone Stand was believed nonfunctional, engulfed in all-consuming crystalline growths. Now we've discovered a third tower that maintains equilibrium for the entire city.
130129TEXT_CTSWKSDYLISE_00971_DYLISE_300_030Yet if no road exists to grant us ingress, how was it meant to be accessed? To test my theory, we shall avail ourselves of Auxesian drones!
131130TEXT_CTSWKSDYLISE_00971_DYLISE_300_031These relics are capable of manipulating the trees' growth in any direction─and we have the technology to get them back in the air.
132131TEXT_CTSWKSDYLISE_00971_DYLISE_300_032From there, we'll sculpt ourselves a bridge of roots sturdy enough for even the heaviest of machinery!
133132TEXT_CTSWKSDYLISE_00971_DYLISE_300_033With the Teletrope fully grown, we can begin our research of the Stratostone Stand at last...and I intend to be most thorough.
134133TEXT_CTSWKSDYLISE_00971_DYLISE_300_034Thus far we've identified three towers, each with separate purpose, the latest of which is the Rooting Towerling.
135134TEXT_CTSWKSDYLISE_00971_DYLISE_300_035The others flank the city on opposing sides, fueling the circuitry of an advanced network. Yet if vessels of data sail these circuits, to what port are they bound?
136135TEXT_CTSWKSDYLISE_00971_DYLISE_300_036Most likely it is this very tower which serves as the hub for data processing. Once reactivated, the city network will be fully restored!
137136TEXT_CTSWKSDYLISE_00971_DYLISE_300_037The Rooting Towerling is restored, and what's more, the survey team reports that a ray of aether now travels from the exterior toward the city center.
138137TEXT_CTSWKSDYLISE_00971_DYLISE_300_038At long last, we shall venture into the heart of Auxesian civilization─and with your help, seize upon some answers!
139138TEXT_CTSWKSDYLISE_00971_DYLISE_300_039We're analyzing the aetherial data while keeping a watchful eye on the towers. All in all, steady progress toward restoring the core mechanism.
140139TEXT_CTSWKSDYLISE_00971_DYLISE_300_040With so much of our final operation hinging on the newly augmented vacuum suits, we've seen fit to have the hangar likewise upgraded.
141140TEXT_CTSWKSDYLISE_00971_DYLISE_300_041Once the preparations are in place, I expect you to suit up and join us. Together, we'll get to the root of Auxesia's lost civilization!
142141TEXT_CTSWKSDYLISE_00971_DYLISE_300_042The city's central mechanisms are concentrated in the Core Shroud much like an administrative district. Where better to store the most sensitive of data?
143142TEXT_CTSWKSDYLISE_00971_DYLISE_300_043Indeed, scouting drones have confirmed multiple indoor facilities situated at the summit. Yet given the altitude, another Teletrope would be highly infeasible.
144143TEXT_CTSWKSDYLISE_00971_DYLISE_300_044Thus, our only option is to send the crew up in freshly augmented vacuum suits to hose down the plants and clear the aether blockage.
145144TEXT_CTSWKSDYLISE_00971_DYLISE_300_045By restoring the flow of aether, we believe the summit's systems will stir once more, enabling us to extend the Cosmoliner!
146145TEXT_CTSWKSDYLISE_00971_DYLISE_300_046Finally, we've reached the central mechanism: Grandma Laurel. Now that she's getting the energy she needs, we can examine the core system.
147146TEXT_CTSWKSDYLISE_00971_DYLISE_300_047As I suspected, Auxesia's core system shares the same...*symptoms*, shall we say, as the Euhedron on Oizys.
148147TEXT_CTSWKSDYLISE_00971_DYLISE_300_048Both composed of the same jasper, both long dormant due to aether deprivation...and the arcane circuits are all but withered away.
149148TEXT_CTSWKSDYLISE_00971_DYLISE_300_049Everything here was sculpted from genetically modified plants, meaning our alchemical solution should be no less effective. We could revive the entire room!
150149TEXT_CTSWKSDYLISE_00971_DYLISE_300_050The mystery of Auxesia is ours to unravel, Player. We must take the final step, and see our intellectual pursuit to fruition!
151150TEXT_CTSWKSDYLISE_00971_DYLISE_300_051This room glows with such ethereal light... Thinking of the task ahead inspires in me a sense of gravity reminiscent of Oizys.
152151TEXT_CTSWKSDYLISE_00971_DYLISE_300_052Grandma Laurel has been rebooted and reconnected to the vast Family Netroot, restoring nearly all functionality to the star.
153152TEXT_CTSWKSDYLISE_00971_DYLISE_300_053All that remains is to repair the core system, but the arcane circuits are rather complex. The aether is at our fingertips, and yet torturously beyond our reach...
154153TEXT_CTSWKSDYLISE_00971_DYLISE_300_054...No. I know my team has what it takes to get to the bottom of this. It's only a matter of time!
155154TEXT_CTSWKSDYLISE_00971_DYLISE_500_050I should like to join the tour, but alas, I'm obligated to supervise things here. You and Namingway have everything well in hand, I trust?
156155TEXT_CTSWKSDYLISE_00971_DYLISE_300_055I never dreamed we'd come face-to-face with a Voyager─or should I say, Nagylvi─but I cannot deny we've earned it.
157156TEXT_CTSWKSDYLISE_00971_DYLISE_300_056We stand to learn a great deal about Auxesia directly from its erstwhile inhabitants. Nevertheless, our research shall take no shortcuts.
158157TEXT_CTSWKSDYLISE_00971_DYLISE_300_057This knowledge is to be gathered, processed, recorded, and shared. But above all, the greatest value lies in the pursuit itself.
159158TEXT_CTSWKSDYLISE_00971_DYLISE_400_039Now, have you any questions about the discoveries made upon Auxesia?
160159TEXT_CTSWKSDYLISE_00971_Q1_400_400What will you ask about?
161160TEXT_CTSWKSDYLISE_00971_A1_400_002The Timberlodge.

171170TEXT_CTSWKSDYLISE_00971_A1_400_012Nothing.
172171TEXT_CTSWKSDYLISE_00971_DYLISE_400_001Cosmic exploration cannot begin without habitation modules. For a blessing, the sturdy substructures of Auxesia spared us the effort of laying our own foundation.
173172TEXT_CTSWKSDYLISE_00971_DYLISE_400_002In the end, we added an entirely new neighborhood to the city. But make no mistake, we were happy to repurpose some existing structures as well.
174173TEXT_CTSWKSDYLISE_00971_DYLISE_400_003More difficult by far was the challenge posed to us by the overgrown plant life. 'Twas a thorn in our side right from the moment we landed.
175174TEXT_CTSWKSDYLISE_00971_DYLISE_400_005We made sure to establish our essential infrastructure early on. Even locally sourced aether and water must be processed for our safety, after all.
176175TEXT_CTSWKSDYLISE_00971_DYLISE_400_006Admittedly I had hoped the energization station would power not only the Timberlodge, but the abandoned Auxesian technology. Alas, we had no such luck.
177176TEXT_CTSWKSDYLISE_00971_DYLISE_400_007At any rate, my personal laboratory is still right here next to it, and you are ever welcome to visit.
178177TEXT_CTSWKSDYLISE_00971_DYLISE_400_009The Sprouting Towerling was our first restoration project. At the time, we had no idea that it was the city network's primary port.
179178TEXT_CTSWKSDYLISE_00971_DYLISE_400_010As we had seen before on Oizys, aether deprivation had resulted in prolonged inactivity. Our task was to trim the overgrowth obstructing the currents.
180179TEXT_CTSWKSDYLISE_00971_DYLISE_400_011But the research team had a solution─an *alchemical* solution, that is. Modified from the aetheric stimulant used on Oizys, it restored the plants to standard parameters.
181180TEXT_CTSWKSDYLISE_00971_DYLISE_400_013Once the Sprouting Towerling was discovered to hold a data storage device on par with the Euhedron on Oizys, we knew a direct connection would expedite our analysis.
182181TEXT_CTSWKSDYLISE_00971_DYLISE_400_014Thus we expanded our base to encompass the tower, primarily by upgrading the energization station and installing an aether converter.
183182TEXT_CTSWKSDYLISE_00971_DYLISE_400_015By processing and converting the data into lightning aether, we had a far easier time reading it, which in turn hastened our analysis tenfold!
184183TEXT_CTSWKSDYLISE_00971_DYLISE_400_018The Sprouting Towerling's aether circuits all but confirmed that which we had begun to suspect: the northwestern tower was itself another nonfunctional mechanism.
185184TEXT_CTSWKSDYLISE_00971_DYLISE_400_019Unfortunately, the overgrowth was such an impediment that we were forced to utilize heavy machinery to blast our way through.
186185TEXT_CTSWKSDYLISE_00971_DYLISE_400_020Back then, we had no idea how Auxesia's erstwhile civilization dealt with such robust plant life─only that their absence was surely detrimental to the star.
187186TEXT_CTSWKSDYLISE_00971_DYLISE_400_022As you may recall, our first restoration project required little more than treating abnormal plant growth. Alas, not so with the Sunning Towerling.
188187TEXT_CTSWKSDYLISE_00971_DYLISE_400_023Fortunately, we noticed several arcane mechanisms connected to the interior and had the bright idea to supply them with aether.
189188TEXT_CTSWKSDYLISE_00971_DYLISE_400_024We still don't know precisely why it was isolated from the city circuits, but I suspect it was done intentionally to preserve operational stability.
190189TEXT_CTSWKSDYLISE_00971_DYLISE_400_029The Stratostone Stand was believed nonfunctional, engulfed in all-consuming crystalline growths─until the discovery of a third tower.
191190TEXT_CTSWKSDYLISE_00971_DYLISE_400_030There was one small problem, however: we didn't see a way to get there. We could but hope to find the answer in the abandoned Auxesian drones.
192191TEXT_CTSWKSDYLISE_00971_DYLISE_400_031We knew the relics were capable of manipulating the trees' growth in any direction─and for a mercy, we had the means to repair them.
193192TEXT_CTSWKSDYLISE_00971_DYLISE_400_032Thus the drones empowered us to sculpt a bridge of roots sturdy enough for even the heaviest of machinery. And so it was named the Teletrope!
194193TEXT_CTSWKSDYLISE_00971_DYLISE_400_034By the time we discovered the Rooting Towerling, we had plenty of experience with Auxesian architecture.
195194TEXT_CTSWKSDYLISE_00971_DYLISE_400_035We knew the first two towers powered the network circuitry, and while we had no proof, we suspected this third tower was a data processing hub.
196195TEXT_CTSWKSDYLISE_00971_DYLISE_400_036Sure enough, once reactivated, the Rooting Towerling brought the entire city network back into action along with it!
197196TEXT_CTSWKSDYLISE_00971_DYLISE_400_042Once we realized the city's central mechanisms were concentrated in the Core Shroud, we knew in all likelihood it held the most vital data.
198197TEXT_CTSWKSDYLISE_00971_DYLISE_400_043Sure enough, scouting drones confirmed multiple indoor facilities at the summit. Alas, the sheer altitude would turn a second Teletrope into a miserably steep climb.
199198TEXT_CTSWKSDYLISE_00971_DYLISE_400_044Instead we opted to send the crew up in augmented vacuum suits to hose down the plants and clear the aether blockage.
200199TEXT_CTSWKSDYLISE_00971_DYLISE_400_045Once the aether's flow was restored, so too were the summit's systems, enabling us to extend the Cosmoliner!
201200TEXT_CTSWKSDYLISE_00971_DYLISE_400_047As I suspected, Auxesia's core system shared the same...*symptoms*, shall we say, as the Euhedron on Oizys.

203202TEXT_CTSWKSDYLISE_00971_DYLISE_400_049Fortunately, because everything was sculpted from plants, we knew our alchemical solution would be effective─and thus we could revive the entire room!
