1	0	TEXT_VOICEMAN_06000_000010_THANCRED	They've almost finished loading our cargo. We should be ready to depart right on schedule, or so I'm told.
2	1	TEXT_VOICEMAN_06000_000020_YSHTOLA	Excellent. 'Tis nice to have a smooth beginning to one's journey, at the very least.
3	2	TEXT_VOICEMAN_06000_000030_THANCRED	It's funny...
4	3	TEXT_VOICEMAN_06000_000040_THANCRED	Master Louisoix came here on a ship very much like this one.
5	4	TEXT_VOICEMAN_06000_000050_THANCRED	And now, years later, the street urchin he befriended that day is bound for his mentor's homeland. With his mentor's grandchildren, no less.
6	5	TEXT_VOICEMAN_06000_000060_URIANGER	Aye, 'tis upon reflection that every twist of time's river and fate's whims are brought into sharp relief.
7	6	TEXT_VOICEMAN_06000_000070_URIANGER	Thou hast matured much in the intervening years. Wert thou not caught attempting to relieve Master Louisoix of his purse scant moments after he made landfall upon this dock?
8	7	TEXT_VOICEMAN_06000_000080_ALISAIE	Oh really? Now that's a tale I'd like to hear!
9	8	TEXT_VOICEMAN_06000_000090_ALPHINAUD	Will this be your first visit to Sharlayan, Ser Estinien?
10	9	TEXT_VOICEMAN_06000_000100_ALPHINAUD	...Ser Estinien?
11	10	TEXT_VOICEMAN_06000_000110_ESTINIEN	...
12	11	TEXT_VOICEMAN_06000_000120_ESTINIEN	Are we strangers newly met? Why this stiff formality?
13	12	TEXT_VOICEMAN_06000_000130_ALPHINAUD	I...ah...merely meant it as a professional courtesy, since we are now colleagues in an official sense...
14	13	TEXT_VOICEMAN_06000_000140_ESTINIEN	I'd rather you dispense with the “sers,” especially in private company.
15	14	TEXT_VOICEMAN_06000_000150_ESTINIEN	Or I'll be forced to respond in kind. “Little Lord Alphinaud.”
16	15	TEXT_VOICEMAN_06000_000160_ALPHINAUD	You've made your point, Estinien. Painfully well.

18	17	TEXT_VOICEMAN_06000_000170_ESTINIEN	Better.
19	18	TEXT_VOICEMAN_06000_000180_GRAHATIA	Are you all right, Tataru? You seem positively distraught.
20	19	TEXT_VOICEMAN_06000_000190_TATARU	Distraught? Me? Don't be silly! I think it's lovely that they get to see their homeland.
21	20	TEXT_VOICEMAN_06000_000200_TATARU	It's just...we're trying to thwart the schemes of an army hells-bent on destroying the world.
22	21	TEXT_VOICEMAN_06000_000210_TATARU	And once again I have to stay behind and worry that this is the last time I'll get to see my friends...
23	22	TEXT_VOICEMAN_06000_Q1_000_001_NONE_VOICE	What will you say?
24	23	TEXT_VOICEMAN_06000_A1_000_001_NONE_VOICE	I'll bring them back safe and sound. I promise.
25	24	TEXT_VOICEMAN_06000_A1_000_002_NONE_VOICE	No sense worrying about the things we're powerless to change.
26	25	TEXT_VOICEMAN_06000_000220_TATARU	I'll hold you to that!
27	26	TEXT_VOICEMAN_06000_000230_TATARU	Well that's hardly comforting!
28	27	TEXT_VOICEMAN_06000_000240_HOARYBOULDER	Ah, good, you're still here!
29	28	TEXT_VOICEMAN_06000_000250_ALISAIE	Hoary! Coultenet! What brings you all this way?
30	29	TEXT_VOICEMAN_06000_000260_HOARYBOULDER	We're to assist the Maelstrom and the kobolds with a lunar primal operation, so we thought we'd see you off before heading to the tower.
31	30	TEXT_VOICEMAN_06000_000270_HOARYBOULDER	F'lhaminn and the others wish you all a safe journey, and promise that they'll look after things here until you return.
32	31	TEXT_VOICEMAN_06000_000280_HOARYBOULDER	We will too, of course! Aye, we your fellow Scions of the Seventh Dawn will do our part to ensure the end of the world won't happen on our watch!
33	32	TEXT_VOICEMAN_06000_000290_LINERCREW	We're set to sail! All aboard for Sharlayan!
34	33	TEXT_VOICEMAN_06000_000300_THANCRED	It's time.
35	34	TEXT_VOICEMAN_06000_000310_ALPHINAUD	Then we must delay no longer. We will contact you the moment we learn aught of value. Wish us luck.
36	35	TEXT_VOICEMAN_06000_000320_TATARU	Have a safe journey! And please, *please* be careful!
37	36	TEXT_VOICEMAN_06000_000330_EMETSELCH	And so you venture forth unto the unknown.
38	37	TEXT_VOICEMAN_06000_000340_EMETSELCH	A fate beyond the horizon that cannot be divined. A future undefined and in flux.
39	38	TEXT_VOICEMAN_06000_000350_EMETSELCH	In uncertain times, naught but the simplest words of wisdom will suffice.
40	39	TEXT_VOICEMAN_06000_000360_EMETSELCH	That which lives is destined to die. Love leads to loss. Every beginning has an end.

43	42	TEXT_VOICEMAN_06000_000390_HYDAELYN	Hear...
44	43	TEXT_VOICEMAN_06000_000400_HYDAELYN	Feel...
45	44	TEXT_VOICEMAN_06000_000410_HYDAELYN	Think...
46	45	TEXT_VOICEMAN_06000_000420_GRAHATIA	The day has barely dawned, my fellow earlier riser.
47	46	TEXT_VOICEMAN_06000_000430_GRAHATIA	Though we're hardly alone in that. Envious of those still sleeping soundly, no doubt.
48	47	TEXT_VOICEMAN_06000_000440_GRAHATIA	Called out to you, you say? Hmm. I've heard nothing myself.
49	48	TEXT_VOICEMAN_06000_000450_GRAHATIA	In any case, I daresay the sea air will do you good. Why not join the others on deck? Sharlayan should be coming into view at any moment.
50	49	TEXT_VOICEMAN_06000_000460_HYDAELYN	(-???-)My voice yet reaches you. I am glad.
51	50	TEXT_VOICEMAN_06000_000470_HYDAELYN	(-???-)Hear, feel, think...
52	51	TEXT_VOICEMAN_06000_000480_HYDAELYN	And thus do we meet face-to-face at last. My Warrior of Light, guided by the Crystal.
53	52	TEXT_VOICEMAN_06000_Q2_000_001_NONE_VOICE	What will you say?
54	53	TEXT_VOICEMAN_06000_A2_000_001_NONE_VOICE	Why now, Hydaelyn?
55	54	TEXT_VOICEMAN_06000_A2_000_002_NONE_VOICE	I can trust your words no longer.

57	56	TEXT_VOICEMAN_06000_000500_HYDAELYN	You have visited the First. You...have every right to say that.
58	57	TEXT_VOICEMAN_06000_000510_HYDAELYN	You have gained an understanding of what I truly am. What Hydaelyn has always been. A primal.
59	58	TEXT_VOICEMAN_06000_000520_HYDAELYN	Zodiark was created to forestall the apocalypse which threatened the ancient world. And I was brought forth to bind Him.
60	59	TEXT_VOICEMAN_06000_000530_HYDAELYN	Yet seven times now, those who would orchestrate a return to that bygone era have rejoined a shard to the god I had sundered.
61	60	TEXT_VOICEMAN_06000_000540_HYDAELYN	The greater His strength grows, the swifter does mine own diminish. The power to draw your mind into the rift betwixt is no longer mine to wield.
62	61	TEXT_VOICEMAN_06000_000550_HYDAELYN	Yet though it taxes me sorely, I dare not leave these words unsaid.
63	62	TEXT_VOICEMAN_06000_000560_HYDAELYN	Even bereft of my guidance, you and your companions have accepted the burden of this star's troubled past. A conjunction has begun to form; an intertwining of your time and mine.
64	63	TEXT_VOICEMAN_06000_000570_HYDAELYN	Wheels shudder and turn. Conflict looms─monumental─which will decide the fate of this world and all life upon it.
65	64	TEXT_VOICEMAN_06000_000580_HYDAELYN	When you truly understand what is at stake, and your journey has prepared you to surmount the insurmountable...
66	65	TEXT_VOICEMAN_06000_000590_HYDAELYN	Then shall I honor the promise made in another time. Another age.
67	66	TEXT_VOICEMAN_06000_000600_LINERCREW	Cast yer peepers to the fore, folks! Sharlayan's just over yonder!
68	67	TEXT_VOICEMAN_06000_000610_HYDAELYN	I will not keep you further. Your traveler's heart must yearn to behold this unfamiliar land.
69	68	TEXT_VOICEMAN_06000_000620_HYDAELYN	We shall meet again...and soon.
70	69	TEXT_VOICEMAN_06000_000630_ALISAIE	No subtitles. Report if displayed.
71	70	TEXT_VOICEMAN_06000_000640_ALISAIE	What a fine morning. Oof. Still a bit stiff, though.
72	71	TEXT_VOICEMAN_06000_000650_ALPHINAUD	And a good morning to you, too. Taken a look at the island already?
73	72	TEXT_VOICEMAN_06000_000660_ALISAIE	Then let's go, let's go! Might still be room in the prow if we're lucky.
74	73	TEXT_VOICEMAN_06000_000670_THANCRED	Ah! The sleepers have arisen!
75	74	TEXT_VOICEMAN_06000_000680_THANCRED	There she is. Good ol' Sharlayan.
76	75	TEXT_VOICEMAN_06000_000690_ALPHINAUD	Oh, I see it!
77	76	TEXT_VOICEMAN_06000_000700_ALISAIE	Home. Home at last. Well...maybe not in Father's eyes...but we'll manage on our own, if we must.
78	77	TEXT_VOICEMAN_06000_000710_ESTINIEN	You do know you're not alone in this, don't you?
79	78	TEXT_VOICEMAN_06000_000720_URIANGER	Indeed, 'tis as Ser Estinien sayeth. Forget not the comrades who boarded this ship at your side, I prithee.
80	79	TEXT_VOICEMAN_06000_000730_ALPHINAUD	Thank you, my friends. We are ever grateful for your steadfast support.
81	80	TEXT_VOICEMAN_06000_000740_YSHTOLA	Upon arrival, we will be disembarking into the heart of Sharlayan proper.
82	81	TEXT_VOICEMAN_06000_000750_YSHTOLA	There is no greater concentration of wisdom in all the world. I am confident that, somewhere within that center of knowledge and learning, we will find the answers we seek.
83	82	TEXT_VOICEMAN_06000_000760_EMETSELCH	Sharlayan, the solitary island nation of the northern seas.
84	83	TEXT_VOICEMAN_06000_000770_EMETSELCH	Where under the watchful gaze of Thaliak, patron deity of scholars, academics hoard all manner of knowledge and secrets.
85	84	TEXT_VOICEMAN_06000_000780_EMETSELCH	Once, they deigned to accept foreign students into a distant colony maintained in the Dravanian hinterlands.
86	85	TEXT_VOICEMAN_06000_000790_EMETSELCH	How swiftly they abandoned it once the first Garlean boot set hostile foot on Ala Mhigan soil.
87	86	TEXT_VOICEMAN_06000_000800_EMETSELCH	So averse to the prosecution of war, these men of wisdom. Your would-be allies...
88	87	TEXT_VOICEMAN_06000_000810_THANCRED	I thought they'd never let us off the ship... What's next, then? Entry applications?
89	88	TEXT_VOICEMAN_06000_000820_YSHTOLA	Hopefully they find no cause to deny us.
90	89	TEXT_VOICEMAN_06000_000830_ESTINIEN	Hasn't Sharlayan all but severed relations with foreign powers? Those of us without direct ties─myself included─may be refused outright...
91	90	TEXT_VOICEMAN_06000_000840_YSHTOLA	'Tis true that, as a nation, Sharlayan only forms trade agreements with a select few neutral countries.
92	91	TEXT_VOICEMAN_06000_000850_YSHTOLA	But from a practical standpoint, an island cannot afford to be overly strict with its borders. Especially not if that island's people are wholly devoted to the accumulation of knowledge.
93	92	TEXT_VOICEMAN_06000_000860_YSHTOLA	If one submits the proper paperwork, with satisfactory evidence of identity and intent, then foreigners may be granted entry.
94	93	TEXT_VOICEMAN_06000_000870_ESTINIEN	...“May.”
95	94	TEXT_VOICEMAN_06000_000880_YSHTOLA	Quite. So let us be absolutely clear on these points before we proceed.
96	95	TEXT_VOICEMAN_06000_000890_YSHTOLA	The immigration officer will ask for your affiliation and your purpose of visit. Considering Sharlayan's views on intervention, I strongly suggest we avoid any mention of the Scions.
97	96	TEXT_VOICEMAN_06000_000900_YSHTOLA	Krile has laid the groundwork for us to act as associates of the Students of Baldesion, and our ostensible reason for being here is to aid in their order's restoration.
98	97	TEXT_VOICEMAN_06000_000910_YSHTOLA	G'raha Tia, it might expedite our progress should an actual Student be seen at the head of our little group. Would you mind leading the way?
99	98	TEXT_VOICEMAN_06000_000920_GRAHATIA	Of course. The immigration offices were this way, as I recall. Shall we?
100	99	TEXT_VOICEMAN_06000_000930_GRAHATIA	Greetings! We've just arrived, and are eager to make our way into the city. Would you be so kind as to process our entry applications?
101	100	TEXT_VOICEMAN_06000_000940_IMMIGRATIONCONTROLSTAFF	Certainly. I see by your mark you are an Archon?
102	101	TEXT_VOICEMAN_06000_000950_GRAHATIA	I am. G'raha Tia of the Students of Baldesion, at your service.
103	102	TEXT_VOICEMAN_06000_000960_GRAHATIA	I was assigned to an Eorzean survey team, but have returned to assist with the reformation of my order. My associates here will provide additional support.
104	103	TEXT_VOICEMAN_06000_000970_IMMIGRATIONCONTROLSTAFF	Very good. I have paperwork detailing your group and its scheduled arrival for today.
105	104	TEXT_VOICEMAN_06000_000980_IMMIGRATIONCONTROLSTAFF	And it seems some few of your companions are also Archons. If you'll step forward, we can process those applications first.
106	105	TEXT_VOICEMAN_06000_000990_YSHTOLA	Y'shtola Rhul.
107	106	TEXT_VOICEMAN_06000_001000_ALISAIE	See how it glows? That list is aetherically linked with the citizen registry kept in the main repository.
108	107	TEXT_VOICEMAN_06000_001010_IMMIGRATIONCONTROLSTAFF	I've confirmed your status as Archons and amended your travel records accordingly. Welcome home.
109	108	TEXT_VOICEMAN_06000_001020_IMMIGRATIONCONTROLSTAFF	Now, who do we have here...?
110	109	TEXT_VOICEMAN_06000_001030_ALPHINAUD	Alphinaud Leveilleur.
111	110	TEXT_VOICEMAN_06000_001040_ALISAIE	And Alisaie Leveilleur.
112	111	TEXT_VOICEMAN_06000_001050_IMMIGRATIONCONTROLSTAFF	Your applications have also been approved. Having said that...
113	112	TEXT_VOICEMAN_06000_001060_IMMIGRATIONCONTROLSTAFF	The streets are abuzz with talk of how House Leveilleur's lord disowned his young progeny.
114	113	TEXT_VOICEMAN_06000_001070_IMMIGRATIONCONTROLSTAFF	And while such personal circumstances constitute no reason to deny you entry, I urge you to avoid...exacerbating your present situation. Times are quite troubled enough already.
115	114	TEXT_VOICEMAN_06000_001080_ALPHINAUD	We shall keep that in mind.
116	115	TEXT_VOICEMAN_06000_001090_GRAHATIA	These last two are not Sharlayan natives, but you will find their credentials are in order. An application was made in advance...
117	116	TEXT_VOICEMAN_06000_001100_IMMIGRATIONCONTROLSTAFF	Hmph. Name and occupation?
118	117	TEXT_VOICEMAN_06000_Q3_000_001_NONE_VOICE	What will you say?
119	118	TEXT_VOICEMAN_06000_A3_000_001_NONE_VOICE	Player Player. Adventurer by trade.
120	119	TEXT_VOICEMAN_06000_A3_000_002_NONE_VOICE	Player Player. Artisan.
121	120	TEXT_VOICEMAN_06000_A3_000_003_NONE_VOICE	Player Player. Champion of Eorzea.
122	121	TEXT_VOICEMAN_06000_001110_IMMIGRATIONCONTROLSTAFF	An “adventurer...” Well, I suppose that is considered a valid calling in your native Eorzea, and it does indeed match the profile provided. You may enter.
123	122	TEXT_VOICEMAN_06000_001120_IMMIGRATIONCONTROLSTAFF	Indeed... Your profile describes you as an “adventurer,” but one also trained in the rather more constructive pursuits of procurement and production. You may enter.
124	123	TEXT_VOICEMAN_06000_001130_GRAHATIA	And it is a title well earned, I can assure you!
125	124	TEXT_VOICEMAN_06000_001140_IMMIGRATIONCONTROLSTAFF	An “adventurer” by trade is what your documentation indicates. No mention of this particular title─self-appointed, I take it? Either way, your employer seems willing to vouch for your character, so I shall─albeit reluctantly─grant you entry. “Champion.”
126	125	TEXT_VOICEMAN_06000_001150_IMMIGRATIONCONTROLSTAFF	And you, sir?
127	126	TEXT_VOICEMAN_06000_001160_ESTINIEN	Estinien Varlineau. Formerly of the Order of the Knights Dragoon in Ishgard.
128	127	TEXT_VOICEMAN_06000_001170_IMMIGRATIONCONTROLSTAFF	“Formerly,” at least. And what, pray tell, is your “profession” now?
129	128	TEXT_VOICEMAN_06000_001180_KRILE	(-???-)If you'll allow me!
130	129	TEXT_VOICEMAN_06000_001190_KRILE	My associate is a mercenary, hired for his strength at arms! Surely you are aware of the dangers we often face on our forays into the wilderness?
131	130	TEXT_VOICEMAN_06000_001200_IMMIGRATIONCONTROLSTAFF	Mistress Baldesion. If you insist on sponsoring his entry, then so be it.
132	131	TEXT_VOICEMAN_06000_001210_IMMIGRATIONCONTROLSTAFF	But while I appreciate that desperate times call for desperate measures, I find your choice of company concerning. Be advised that even a single misstep may have severe repercussions for your organization.
133	132	TEXT_VOICEMAN_06000_001220_KRILE	I have every confidence in my chosen company, dear and trusted comrades that they are. But I thank you for your concern.
134	133	TEXT_VOICEMAN_06000_001230_ALPHINAUD	Krile, it is good to see you.
135	134	TEXT_VOICEMAN_06000_001240_KRILE	Likewise! Long voyage notwithstanding, you all seem none the worse for wear.
136	135	TEXT_VOICEMAN_06000_001250_KRILE	There is much to discuss, but this is hardly the place. Let's be on our way, shall we?
137	136	TEXT_VOICEMAN_06000_001260_KRILE	No subtitles. Report if displayed.
138	137	TEXT_VOICEMAN_06000_001270_KRILE	Welcome, friends, to Sharlayan!
139	138	TEXT_VOICEMAN_06000_001280_ESTINIEN	As your “mercenary,” I should hope my welcome includes a generous salary.
140	139	TEXT_VOICEMAN_06000_001290_KRILE	I had to say something, Ser Taciturn!
141	140	TEXT_VOICEMAN_06000_001300_URIANGER	Pray forgive me. I was delayed...
142	141	TEXT_VOICEMAN_06000_001310_YSHTOLA	It's fine, Urianger. We're all here now.
143	142	TEXT_VOICEMAN_06000_001320_KRILE	Let's get down to business then, shall we?
144	143	TEXT_VOICEMAN_06000_001330_KRILE	Come what may, we must prevent the Telophoroi's plans from coming to fruition. At present, I see two paths for gathering the information which may aid us in achieving that goal.
145	144	TEXT_VOICEMAN_06000_001340_KRILE	The first involves an investigation into the change which has come over Sharlayan, not to mention the recent, inscrutable behavior of the Forum.
146	145	TEXT_VOICEMAN_06000_001350_KRILE	As most of you know, the ninety-nine members of the Forum are elected from the general populace. This alone guarantees a plethora of opinion with regards to foreign policy.
147	146	TEXT_VOICEMAN_06000_001360_KRILE	The Bibliothecs, for example, are a group of conservatives which would have Sharlayan focus on recording history, while remaining entirely uninvolved in the making of it.
148	147	TEXT_VOICEMAN_06000_001370_KRILE	And at the other extreme, we have advocates for proactive diplomacy and direct intervention. My grandfather, Galuf, was one such member, as was Archon Louisoix.
149	148	TEXT_VOICEMAN_06000_001380_KRILE	Yet despite our diverse factions and philosophies, the recent vote to deny Eorzea's request for assistance was unanimous.
150	149	TEXT_VOICEMAN_06000_001390_KRILE	Even more concerning was the fact that many cited other, more pressing duties as justification for their recalcitrance.
151	150	TEXT_VOICEMAN_06000_001400_GRAHATIA	Fourchenault's refusal in Gridania had those same undertones. 'Twas as if, having stared unblinking into the face of impending doom, he'd simply turned away to pursue something more important. But what could that possibly be?
152	151	TEXT_VOICEMAN_06000_001410_KRILE	A mystery, indeed, and one which I ask for your help to solve. Our future may depend on it.
153	152	TEXT_VOICEMAN_06000_001420_KRILE	As for our second potential path, it concerns a request made directly to the Students of Baldesion.
154	153	TEXT_VOICEMAN_06000_001430_KRILE	Our organization was founded primarily to study strange and unexplained phenomena the world over. Mysterious relics and ruins, arcane disturbances, and so forth.
155	154	TEXT_VOICEMAN_06000_001440_KRILE	Compared to our more isolationist Sharlayan colleagues, we have strong connections overseas─namely with scholars and academics who share our passion for the unknown.

157	156	TEXT_VOICEMAN_06000_001460_KRILE	Her missive describes the sudden appearance of a tower, and the subsequent summoning of what I can only assume is a lunar primal.

162	161	TEXT_VOICEMAN_06000_001510_YSHTOLA	Assuming we divide our forces to pursue both of Krile's lines of inquiry, then having you join the group heading to Thavnair would seem the obvious choice.
163	162	TEXT_VOICEMAN_06000_001520_YSHTOLA	But the investigation in Sharlayan is of vital importance as well. Equal, I think, to the Thavnairian one, given that the fate of the world may hinge on the results of both.

182	181	TEXT_VOICEMAN_06000_001710_ALISAIE	G'raha said that the Forum was determined to keep us in the dark, and that Father's venomous “performance” was part of that strategy. To keep us at arm's length.
183	182	TEXT_VOICEMAN_06000_001720_ALISAIE	Perhaps it was. Father argued with Grandfather on many occasions, but never with such...dismissive contempt.

216	215	TEXT_VOICEMAN_06000_002050_ALISAIE	So you met with that gleaner again, this time to...capture a hornbill?
217	216	TEXT_VOICEMAN_06000_002060_ALISAIE	I understand catching and bringing in creatures from the outside, but what's the point of chasing after ones already here?
218	217	TEXT_VOICEMAN_06000_002070_ERENVILLE	Oh, it's a simple thing, really.
219	218	TEXT_VOICEMAN_06000_002080_ERENVILLE	Occasionally, we remove specimens no longer needed for study, or those we've had difficulty raising. But we can't simply turn them loose.
220	219	TEXT_VOICEMAN_06000_002090_ERENVILLE	Safely returning such creatures to their native habitats is another facet of a gleaner's duties.
221	220	TEXT_VOICEMAN_06000_002100_ERENVILLE	But not in this case, I'm afraid. I've been asked to bring the bird “below.”

227	226	TEXT_VOICEMAN_06000_002160_ERENVILLE	But judging by the requisition list given to me and my colleagues, I doubt it's for any kind of advanced research.
228	227	TEXT_VOICEMAN_06000_002170_ERENVILLE	I'd be more inclined to believe we were making preparations to migrate to the south. Meracydia or thereabouts.
229	228	TEXT_VOICEMAN_06000_002180_ALISAIE	What? Why would you say that?
230	229	TEXT_VOICEMAN_06000_002190_ERENVILLE	Much of the flora and fauna we were asked to procure could serve as reliable sources of sustenance.

232	231	TEXT_VOICEMAN_06000_002210_ALISAIE	When you put it that way, migration does sound like a reasonable assumption.
233	232	TEXT_VOICEMAN_06000_002220_ERENVILLE	That's all it is, though─an assumption. Through our tasks, we gleaners glimpse only bits and pieces of the Forum's plans.

235	234	TEXT_VOICEMAN_06000_002240_ERENVILLE	Now, I really must be going. I regret that I cannot reward you as you deserve.
236	235	TEXT_VOICEMAN_06000_002250_YSHTOLA	Perhaps you might reward us after a fashion, then? It is imperative that we reach the lower levels.
237	236	TEXT_VOICEMAN_06000_002260_YSHTOLA	And seeing as you are already set to descend with your assigned cargo, mayhap we could accompany you as your...assistants?
238	237	TEXT_VOICEMAN_06000_002270_ERENVILLE	I am afraid that won't be possible. Once the animals have been prepared for transport, we send them down separately via the lift.
239	238	TEXT_VOICEMAN_06000_002280_ERENVILLE	I will, of course, follow after to make my report, but I can hardly pass you off as porters when there is nothing left to carry.

340	339	TEXT_VOICEMAN_06000_003300_BARNIER	This inquiry is now in session. As Speaker Elect, I will be presiding over the day's proceedings.
341	340	TEXT_VOICEMAN_06000_003310_BARNIER	Master Fourchenault. Would you be so kind as to restate the matter which compelled you to summon your colleagues with such urgency?
342	341	TEXT_VOICEMAN_06000_003320_FOURCHENAULT	As you are all aware, we recently denied Eorzea's request for Sharlayan assistance.
343	342	TEXT_VOICEMAN_06000_003330_FOURCHENAULT	Since then, certain individuals dissatisfied with our decision have taken it upon themselves to interfere with our work.

348	347	TEXT_VOICEMAN_06000_003380_KRILE	Galuf Baldesion was never one to forsake his fellow man.
349	348	TEXT_VOICEMAN_06000_003390_KRILE	Even if this nation closed every door and retreated from the world, he would have found a way to help the Scions─help every soul of this star─fight back against the coming doom.
350	349	TEXT_VOICEMAN_06000_003400_YSHTOLA	A terrible enemy stands poised to lay waste to all we hold dear. In the face of such madness, Eorzea reached out to Sharlayan, a respected ally, in the hopes of forming a united front.
351	350	TEXT_VOICEMAN_06000_003410_YSHTOLA	Was your curt dismissal truly the best you could offer?

356	355	TEXT_VOICEMAN_06000_003460_GRAHATIA	Then it seems your findings support my own...
357	356	TEXT_VOICEMAN_06000_003470_GRAHATIA	The reason I visited the restricted shelves was to study records of the Forum's policy-making process. To better understand the historical trends underlying their most major decisions.
358	357	TEXT_VOICEMAN_06000_003480_GRAHATIA	At first glance, the positions of neutrality in war and the accumulation of knowledge above all else appear constant and consistent─the unchanging pillars of Sharlayan society.
359	358	TEXT_VOICEMAN_06000_003490_GRAHATIA	And once upon a time, I might have left it at that. These days, however, I am more attuned to the subtleties of governance, and so I noticed something...odd.
360	359	TEXT_VOICEMAN_06000_003500_GRAHATIA	From a particular point in time, the purpose of these policies shifted.
361	360	TEXT_VOICEMAN_06000_003510_GRAHATIA	No longer was knowledge preserved for the benefit of society. Rather, society was to be gradually reshaped to ensure the preservation of knowledge.
362	361	TEXT_VOICEMAN_06000_003520_GRAHATIA	The most conspicuous and telling change was the one which befell Labyrinthos. Once little more than an oversized storehouse, an enormous allocation of funds saw it transformed into an advanced research and archival facility.
363	362	TEXT_VOICEMAN_06000_003530_GRAHATIA	I also discovered a fascinating account on the finances of our Dravanian colony.
364	363	TEXT_VOICEMAN_06000_003540_GRAHATIA	The settlement attracted students from far and wide, and the connections and tuition fees thus acquired were funneled into further improvements for the archives.
365	364	TEXT_VOICEMAN_06000_003550_GRAHATIA	Now, there is no question that our nation's progress is tied to the acquisition of wisdom. Nevertheless, the vast resources diverted for this purpose borders on the obscene.
366	365	TEXT_VOICEMAN_06000_003560_GRAHATIA	But returning to the matter of when─our change in course appears to have been made some two hundred and seventy years ago...
367	366	TEXT_VOICEMAN_06000_003570_YSHTOLA	The very same period when Sharlayan scholars in the hinterlands began a formal study of the aetherial sea!
368	367	TEXT_VOICEMAN_06000_003580_YSHTOLA	You found something, did you not? And whatever it was gave rise to your oh-so-important duty...

374	373	TEXT_VOICEMAN_06000_003640_YSHTOLA	Do as you must then. But we Scions will fight─until the heavens fall, until our last breath.

377	376	TEXT_VOICEMAN_06000_003670_ALPHINAUD	I fail to understand the stance you have elected to take. But by the same token, I have yet to find a compelling argument to counter the challenge you put to us in Gridania.
378	377	TEXT_VOICEMAN_06000_003680_ALPHINAUD	Still, in the midst of my uncertainty...
379	378	TEXT_VOICEMAN_06000_003690_ALPHINAUD	I must trust in myself to do what is right. As others have chosen to trust in me.

383	382	TEXT_VOICEMAN_06000_003730_MONTICHAIGNE	Honestly, every discussion devolves into some interminable debate. Terrible habit. Let's return to the topic at hand, hm?
384	383	TEXT_VOICEMAN_06000_003740_MONTICHAIGNE	By their own admission, these Scions have resolved to fight alongside the Eorzean nations against the doom which swift approaches.
385	384	TEXT_VOICEMAN_06000_003750_MONTICHAIGNE	But there exists no evidence of an attempt to incite our citizens to do the same.
386	385	TEXT_VOICEMAN_06000_003760_MONTICHAIGNE	Furthermore, while our decision may well've been the correct one, we cannot simply bull our way through these disagreements without inviting doubts or objections.
387	386	TEXT_VOICEMAN_06000_003770_MONTICHAIGNE	Put yourselves in their place! Who among you would leave a tome unopened if an elder forbid you read it with no reason given?
388	387	TEXT_VOICEMAN_06000_003780_MONTICHAIGNE	No, if we're to quell further discontent, then we must conclude this matter with a fair and even hand.
389	388	TEXT_VOICEMAN_06000_003790_BARNIER	Order! We will have order!
390	389	TEXT_VOICEMAN_06000_003800_BARNIER	Master Montichaigne raises some valid points. Keeping such concerns in mind, I propose we enforce the following measures.
391	390	TEXT_VOICEMAN_06000_003810_BARNIER	Until further notice, the Students of Baldesion are to cease any and all activities within the domain of Sharlayan.
392	391	TEXT_VOICEMAN_06000_003820_BARNIER	You will also refrain from any further investigation into the Forum's decisions and duties. Failure to comply with these restrictions will result in the immediate expulsion of your Scion associates.
393	392	TEXT_VOICEMAN_06000_003830_BARNIER	Let us put this judgment to a vote. All in favor, raise your hand!
394	393	TEXT_VOICEMAN_06000_003840_BARNIER	I count fifty-one for, and forty-eight against. The proposal is passed.
395	394	TEXT_VOICEMAN_06000_003850_BARNIER	Students, Scions, you have heard the Forum's judgment. Pray abide by it or face the consequences.

519	518	TEXT_VOICEMAN_06000_005000_NIDHANA	Peace and prosperity reigned for a time, until a clan of Hyur from the mainland decided they wanted the island for themselves.
520	519	TEXT_VOICEMAN_06000_005010_NIDHANA	It was a direct ancestor of the present satrap who arbitrated that conflict, and welded the warring factions into the nation we know today.
521	520	TEXT_VOICEMAN_06000_005020_NIDHANA	And ever since, a member of that esteemed lineage has inherited this somewhat unique position. You see, by and large, the state is run by the people, but when problems arise, it is the satrap who mediates a solution.
522	521	TEXT_VOICEMAN_06000_005030_NIDHANA	The stability provided by the satrap is what has allowed Radz–at–Han to thrive all these years.

542	541	TEXT_VOICEMAN_06000_005230_THANCRED	Fandaniel wants to die, and take everyone with him in an orgy of pain and suffering. An utterly vile and unforgivable idea.

701	700	TEXT_VOICEMAN_06000_006730_YSHTOLA	I agree. While I still have questions concerning the Forum and their grand undertaking, we have all but exhausted our avenues of investigation.

889	888	TEXT_VOICEMAN_06000_008490_ALPHINAUD	The flower did seem to radiate a joyful glow. As if reflecting the elation we all felt. The relief of a people with renewed hope.
890	889	TEXT_VOICEMAN_06000_008500_GRAHATIA	Indeed. And in turn, I felt buoyed by that radiance. 'Twas akin to spotting a beacon, and knowing we were on the right path.
891	890	TEXT_VOICEMAN_06000_008510_GRAHATIA	I know we've not yet triumphed over the Telophoroi, or learned the full breadth of the Forum's plans...
892	891	TEXT_VOICEMAN_06000_008520_GRAHATIA	But even within the midst of our struggles, we find small moments of joy to sustain us.
893	892	TEXT_VOICEMAN_06000_008530_GRAHATIA	Rare and hard-won, perhaps. But it is this pursuit of happiness that gives us the strength to carry on, day after day...
894	893	TEXT_VOICEMAN_06000_008540_GRAHATIA	Hey! That's mine!
895	894	TEXT_VOICEMAN_06000_008550_ALISAIE	To the swift, the spoils! Though I recall that levitation spell of yours was quick enough.
896	895	TEXT_VOICEMAN_06000_008560_GRAHATIA	Only barely. And even at my best, I'm still too slow to wield it effectively in battle.
897	896	TEXT_VOICEMAN_06000_008570_GRAHATIA	Mayhap I simply require more practice with this new magick...
898	897	TEXT_VOICEMAN_06000_008580_ALPHINAUD	You unearthed it from the depths of Noumenon, I presume?
899	898	TEXT_VOICEMAN_06000_008590_GRAHATIA	Aye, and from a veritable mountain of arcane tomes, at that. 'Twas...necessary to facilitate my solitary explorations.
900	899	TEXT_VOICEMAN_06000_008600_ALISAIE	Or, to put it simply, you used it to sneak around the forbidden archives.
901	900	TEXT_VOICEMAN_06000_008610_GRAHATIA	Ah, yes, well...after a fashion...
902	901	TEXT_VOICEMAN_06000_008620_GRAHATIA	They're tall, you see...
903	902	TEXT_VOICEMAN_06000_008630_GRAHATIA	The shelves─they're too tall for me! And I could hardly move the library's platforms without attracting attention now, could I!?
904	903	TEXT_VOICEMAN_06000_008640_ALPHINAUD	Ohhh...
905	904	TEXT_VOICEMAN_06000_008650_ALISAIE	Ohhh...
906	905	TEXT_VOICEMAN_06000_008660_KRILE	Ohhh...
907	906	TEXT_VOICEMAN_06000_Q11_000_001_NONE_VOICE	What will you say?
908	907	TEXT_VOICEMAN_06000_A11_000_001_NONE_VOICE	Are we pushing on until dawn?
909	908	TEXT_VOICEMAN_06000_A11_000_002_NONE_VOICE	Shall we call it a night?
910	909	TEXT_VOICEMAN_06000_A11_000_003_NONE_VOICE	You do know these are “my” quarters...?
911	910	TEXT_VOICEMAN_06000_008670_ALPHINAUD	I'm not that ambitious. But 'tis pleasant to idle away the hours every once in a while.
912	911	TEXT_VOICEMAN_06000_008680_ALISAIE	One last cup of tea, then. Dickon said this brew helps relax the mind before bed...and gave us some leaves for free!
913	912	TEXT_VOICEMAN_06000_008690_KRILE	Why else did you think we were here? Surrender to thy fate, O champion!
914	913	TEXT_VOICEMAN_06000_008700_AMON	Ah, enjoying the bracing cold, I see. Do you not own a warm coat or a cloak? Something in fur or fashioned from the skins of your enemies, or...? Well, never mind that.
915	914	TEXT_VOICEMAN_06000_008710_AMON	I come to you once more as the bearer of bad news.
916	915	TEXT_VOICEMAN_06000_008720_AMON	Our tower in Thavnair has been toppled, and I need not tell you by whom.
917	916	TEXT_VOICEMAN_06000_008730_AMON	Given how many we have at our disposal, the loss of a single spire is hardly fatal to our plans. It does, however, slow the rate at which we siphon aether.
918	917	TEXT_VOICEMAN_06000_008740_AMON	If they continue to preoccupy themselves with the towers, then all will be well. But should our foe prove bold enough to strike at us here, then the timing becomes...questionable.
919	918	TEXT_VOICEMAN_06000_008750_ZENOS	Our foe is bold enough. Of that, I can assure you.
920	919	TEXT_VOICEMAN_06000_008760_AMON	Yes, very well, then... I suppose I must prepare a proper welcome.
921	920	TEXT_VOICEMAN_06000_008770_AMON	Honestly, talk of your nemesis is the only thing you seem to enjoy. Does nothing else spark your interest?
922	921	TEXT_VOICEMAN_06000_008780_ZENOS	Hmm... No. All else is...equal.
923	922	TEXT_VOICEMAN_06000_008790_ZENOS	Equally tedious. Equally disappointing. The world is a tepid bog into which we sink, too weak to thrash as the mud clings to our eyes and fills our throats till we blissfully choke.
924	923	TEXT_VOICEMAN_06000_008800_ZENOS	But then came the light. Blinding and pure and hot─so very hot. Enough to set my soul aflame.
925	924	TEXT_VOICEMAN_06000_008810_ZENOS	I basked in the afterglow...until the void yawned once more. And then I knew the muck would never claim me again. There was naught for me ahead, so I drew the curtain on all that had come before.
926	925	TEXT_VOICEMAN_06000_008820_ZENOS	Burn, burn. Let the whole star burn. I will have my contest. I will reclaim my moment.
927	926	TEXT_VOICEMAN_06000_008830_AMON	How wonderful that the emptiness of death has not dissuaded you from committing your life to its pursuit once more.
928	927	TEXT_VOICEMAN_06000_008840_AMON	I don't know whether to envy you or pity you...
929	928	TEXT_VOICEMAN_06000_008850_ZENOS	You question my disinterest, but what of yours? Despite your noisome antics, I sense you take little pleasure in this endeavor.
930	929	TEXT_VOICEMAN_06000_008860_AMON	Mercy, my lord... Such pointed barbs from one who barely acknowledges my existence.
931	930	TEXT_VOICEMAN_06000_008870_AMON	Nevertheless, you are mistaken, for I do find this part somewhat enjoyable.
932	931	TEXT_VOICEMAN_06000_008880_AMON	You see, when I was mortal, I would always have the same dream.
933	932	TEXT_VOICEMAN_06000_008890_AMON	It was a fragmented thing. Disjointed. All the faces incomplete. The setting, too, was unknown to me, so I thought it simply a fantasy of my sleeping mind.
934	933	TEXT_VOICEMAN_06000_008900_AMON	Until one day, I realized it was showing me the truth─much as your dream of the Final Days enlightened you.
935	934	TEXT_VOICEMAN_06000_008910_AMON	And soon, very soon, the rest of the world will see the truth of my dream too.
936	935	TEXT_VOICEMAN_06000_008920_AMON	Yes, I think that is something we can both enjoy.
