40TEXT_CTSERKEUREKA3KRILE1_00512_KRILE_000_000Always a pleasure, <Split(<Highlight>ObjectParameter(1)</Highlight>, ,1)/>. I'm sure you're eager to get to it, but before we begin, I want to make sure you remember where we left off.
51TEXT_CTSERKEUREKA3KRILE1_00512_KRILE_000_001To review, we established a base camp here so we could make use of a proto-aetheryte nearby. This aetheryte was constructed several thousand years ago, and is a precursor to the designs we use today. As such, we used it primarily for monitoring aetherial fluctuations, and rarely for teleportation.
62TEXT_CTSERKEUREKA3KRILE1_00512_KRILE_000_002Per Ejika's suggestion, we've decided to study this proto-aetheryte that we might gain greater insight into the many mysteries surrounding the Isle of Val and its current state. If, in doing so, we can further stabilize the regional Aethernet, then all the better.
73TEXT_CTSERKEUREKA3KRILE1_00512_KRILE_000_003Our primary objective, as ever, remains the same: find a way to reach the headquarters of the Students of Baldesion at the isle's center, and there seek out and aid any survivors.
84TEXT_CTSERKEUREKA3KRILE1_00512_KRILE_000_004And that about covers it. Did you see Ejika on your way in, by the way? He should have arrived by now...
95TEXT_CTSERKEUREKA3KRILE1_00512_KRILE_000_005Speak of the devil... Ejika! Surely you saw us standing over here? Don't be a stranger─come and speak with us!
106TEXT_CTSERKEUREKA3KRILE1_00512_EJIKATSUNJIKA_000_006...Oh, you two. Forgive me, I was lost in thought.
117TEXT_CTSERKEUREKA3KRILE1_00512_KRILE_000_007Hmm... I've never known you to be that oblivious as to your surroundings. What troubles you, Ejika?
128TEXT_CTSERKEUREKA3KRILE1_00512_EJIKATSUNJIKA_000_008Well, I... You know, this place and... Ahem. It is of no moment. Would that I had new information to share, but alas, I do not.
139TEXT_CTSERKEUREKA3KRILE1_00512_EJIKATSUNJIKA_000_009I can but hope that I can be of greater use to you all in the future. Best of luck to you both in your many endeavors.
1410TEXT_CTSERKEUREKA3KRILE1_00512_KRILE_000_010Gods, he's a terrible liar. Nevertheless, I know better than to pester him for answers when he's behaving like that. It's the same as when he's wrestling with his research.
1511TEXT_CTSERKEUREKA3KRILE1_00512_KRILE_000_011He'll talk when he's good and ready─which will hopefully be sooner than later. Or maybe he'll be more forthcoming if and when you run into him in the wild, like before? Maybe try asking him then.
1612TEXT_CTSERKEUREKA3KRILE1_00512_KRILE_000_012But enough about Ejika. You should see the proto-aetheryte for yourself. It's not far from here. If you'll come with me...
1713TEXT_CTSERKEUREKA3KRILE1_00512_KRILE_000_020...As for the results of my tests...well, while I've yet to grasp the whole picture, my general understanding of the aetherial instability we've been dealing with is much improved.
1814TEXT_CTSERKEUREKA3KRILE1_00512_KRILE_000_021Curiously, this is not as recent a development as I had believed. In fact, according to records I found in the foundry, a massive and sustained increase in aetherial density in the vicinity of our headquarters was first recorded almost twenty years ago...
1915TEXT_CTSERKEUREKA3KRILE1_00512_Q1_000_000What will you say?
2016TEXT_CTSERKEUREKA3KRILE1_00512_A1_000_001Do you think this was Galuf's doing?
2117TEXT_CTSERKEUREKA3KRILE1_00512_A1_000_002You don't think this was a natural increase, do you?
2218TEXT_CTSERKEUREKA3KRILE1_00512_KRILE_000_030It's certainly possible. Whatever he intended to accomplish by “reversing the flow” could have entailed the manipulation of aetherial currents that they might converge upon our headquarters.
2319TEXT_CTSERKEUREKA3KRILE1_00512_KRILE_000_040Not in the least. In your vision of the past, Grandfather spoke of “reversing the flow,” which could have entailed the manipulation of aetherial currents that they might converge upon our headquarters.
2420TEXT_CTSERKEUREKA3KRILE1_00512_KRILE_000_050To what end is perhaps the more important question...especially since my initial survey suggests that a deiform entity is located somewhere beneath the headquarters of the Students of Baldesion.
2521TEXT_CTSERKEUREKA3KRILE1_00512_KRILE_000_051To make matters worse, it seems this entity is growing in strength, perhaps by feeding off the aether being funneled towards the center of the isle...
2622TEXT_CTSERKEUREKA3KRILE1_00512_KRILE_000_052I doubt this was Grandfather and the others' intention at the time, of course. Rather, given what you saw in your visions, it is far more likely that they were attempting to imprison a primal being.
2723TEXT_CTSERKEUREKA3KRILE1_00512_KRILE_000_053Unfortunately, if these results are any indication, whatever measures they took to do so are failing, and this entity may soon break free.
2824TEXT_CTSERKEUREKA3KRILE1_00512_KRILE_000_054Perhaps it was in response to this mounting danger that someone erected a barrier around our headquarters. A final desperate measure to contain a terrible threat...
2925TEXT_CTSERKEUREKA3KRILE1_00512_KRILE_000_055Only time and further study will tell. Anyway, to my mind, we still have two primary objectives at present.
3026TEXT_CTSERKEUREKA3KRILE1_00512_KRILE_000_056First, we use every method at our disposal to ascertain the nature of the primal and the methods Grandfather and the others employed to hold it in check.
3127TEXT_CTSERKEUREKA3KRILE1_00512_KRILE_000_057Second─and as before─we continue to work towards restoring the regional Aethernet to full functionality in order to gain access to headquarters and search for survivors.
3228TEXT_CTSERKEUREKA3KRILE1_00512_KRILE_000_058At first I thought that Grandfather might need our help, but perhaps it is us who need his help─especially if we're dealing with primals or Ascians or gods know what else.
3329TEXT_CTSERKEUREKA3KRILE1_00512_KRILE_000_059But we'll cross that bridge when we come to it. For now, we have more simple concerns. I've located another confluence of aether not far from here, suggesting the presence of magicite.
3430TEXT_CTSERKEUREKA3KRILE1_00512_KRILE_000_060It's somewhere in the northeastern Ice Needles. I'd like you to go and investigate it, if that's all right.
3531TEXT_CTSERKEUREKA3KRILE1_00512_KRILE_000_061Thank you. I'll spare you the warnings about the untold dangers lurking out there, given that this is hardly your first time here in Eureka. Good luck.
3632TEXT_CTSERKEUREKA3KRILE1_00512_KRILE_000_070The confluence is somewhere in the northeastern Ice Needles. I'm afraid I can't narrow it down further.
3733TEXT_CTSERKEUREKA3KRILE1_00512_KRILE_000_080You found it, I presume? The confluence vanished while you were away, so call it a hunch. Since your magia board can hold no more magicite, I hope you'll allow me to hold on to this piece for the time being.
3834TEXT_CTSERKEUREKA3KRILE1_00512_KRILE_000_081Much appreciated. There are other confluences elsewhere in Pyros, so I expect I'll be asking you to do this again as soon as we've pinpointed their locations.
3935TEXT_CTSERKEUREKA3KRILE1_00512_SYSTEM_000_082You may continue the Eureka expedition upon reaching elemental level 38.
4036TEXT_CTSERKEUREKA3KRILE1_00512_KRILE_000_090It is my hope that this magicite you found might prove useful in my work with the proto-aetheryte. There's still an awful lot I don't know about what Grandfather and the others were up to...
4137TEXT_CTSERKEUREKA3KRILE1_00512_KRILE_000_091Until I have more information to share, I'm afraid you'll just have to wait.
4238TEXT_CTSERKEUREKA3KRILE1_00512_SYSTEM_000_092You may continue the Eureka expedition upon reaching elemental level 38.
4339TEXT_CTSERKEUREKA3KRILE1_00512_KRILE_000_100Oh, I was just thinking of sending someone to find you. I have tidings.
4440TEXT_CTSERKEUREKA3KRILE1_00512_KRILE_000_101Believe it or not, that magicite you found was key to confirming beyond a shadow of a doubt what I had long suspected: that the Isle of Val came to the Glass Ocean by way of a powerful teleportation magick.
4541TEXT_CTSERKEUREKA3KRILE1_00512_KRILE_000_102In other words, the theories we had about the Ascians or whoever else unleashing a destructive magick akin to Ultima were completely mistaken.
4642TEXT_CTSERKEUREKA3KRILE1_00512_KRILE_000_103Which isn't to say that this teleportation magick wasn't exceedingly destructive and disruptive in its own right. An island does not up and vanish and reappear on the other side of the world without significant repercussions.
4743TEXT_CTSERKEUREKA3KRILE1_00512_KRILE_000_104All the strange phenomena we've observed until now─the twisted aetherial currents, the warped elemental energies and erratic weather, magicite and logograms and monsters─all of it stems from this teleportation.
4844TEXT_CTSERKEUREKA3KRILE1_00512_KRILE_000_105All of this could have been anticipated, at least to a degree, which prompts me to wonder why someone would nevertheless decide to utilize such a powerful magick. The answer to that question, however, continues to elude me...
4945TEXT_CTSERKEUREKA3KRILE1_00512_KRILE_000_106No point dwelling on it. We have another confluence to investigate─or will, as soon as I finish analyzing this data. There is another matter you might attend to before then, though.
5046TEXT_CTSERKEUREKA3KRILE1_00512_KRILE_000_107It concerns the logos manipulator, and certain improvements that should make your life a lot easier. Drake can tell you more.
5147TEXT_CTSERKEUREKA3KRILE1_00512_KRILE_000_110...On the other hand, I suppose it's possible that a hostile entity did bring Ultima or some other magick to bear against the isle, and in response someone else triggered the teleportation magick in order to escape...
5248TEXT_CTSERKEUREKA3KRILE1_00512_KRILE_000_112Sorry, just thinking aloud. And still trying to locate that confluence for you. Why not talk to Drake about that task of his while I work?
5349TEXT_CTSERKEUREKA3KRILE1_00512_KRILE_000_120You've finished helping Drake improve the logos manipulator? Well done. It ought to prove more useful than ever.
5450TEXT_CTSERKEUREKA3KRILE1_00512_KRILE_000_121Now then, as you've probably guessed, I've finally located the next piece of magicite I'd like you to go and collect.
5551TEXT_CTSERKEUREKA3KRILE1_00512_KRILE_000_123This one you'll find in the caves to the northeast, near a place called the Firing Chamber. Getting there won't be easy, I'm afraid. Be careful.
5652TEXT_CTSERKEUREKA3KRILE1_00512_KRILE_000_130To get to the Firing Chamber, you'll need to head due east from here, towards the northeastern Ice Needles. Look for a tunnel in the rock, and follow it north into the caves.
5753TEXT_CTSERKEUREKA3KRILE1_00512_KRILE_000_140It's always a relief to see you return safe and sound. Did you find the magicite near the Firing Chamber?
5854TEXT_CTSERKEUREKA3KRILE1_00512_KRILE_000_141But of course. Though...I take it there's something else you wish to share?
5955TEXT_CTSERKEUREKA3KRILE1_00512_KRILE_000_142So according to Ejika, the deiform entity is also named Eureka, is it...?
6056TEXT_CTSERKEUREKA3KRILE1_00512_KRILE_000_143I am reminded of a conversation I once overheard, back before I left the Isle of Val. Raha, one of my colleagues, was discussing a theory he had concerning the Crystal Tower with Grandfather and the other founders.
6157TEXT_CTSERKEUREKA3KRILE1_00512_KRILE_000_144As you may recall, Eureka was the name of an underground labyrinth said to contain the most powerful weapons of the Allagan Empire. At least, that's how the legend goes─and Raha thought it might be beneath the Crystal Tower.
6258TEXT_CTSERKEUREKA3KRILE1_00512_KRILE_000_145I remember thinking at the time it was odd how the founders suddenly grew quiet and stone-faced, how Grandfather simply said no and ushered the others away, leaving Raha to wonder if he had somehow given offense.
6359TEXT_CTSERKEUREKA3KRILE1_00512_KRILE_000_146And then I had to go and pick the same silly name when prompted by Rowena. Ugh. Don't read too much into that. Seriously.
6460TEXT_CTSERKEUREKA3KRILE1_00512_KRILE_000_147Anyway, I can only presume that the founder's behavior that day was because, for them, the word Eureka had an entirely different meaning. Even though Raha was clearly talking about the labyrinth, their secret knowledge of the primal clearly weighed heavy on their consciences...
6561TEXT_CTSERKEUREKA3KRILE1_00512_KRILE_000_148You've given me much to think about, <Split(<Highlight>ObjectParameter(1)</Highlight>, ,1)/>...
6662TEXT_CTSERKEUREKA3KRILE1_00512_SYSTEM_000_149You may continue the Eureka expedition upon reaching elemental level 40.
6763TEXT_CTSERKEUREKA3KRILE1_00512_KRILE_000_150That reminds me─you spent a good deal of time with Raha too, didn't you? I read the NOAH reports, so you know.
6864TEXT_CTSERKEUREKA3KRILE1_00512_KRILE_000_151He was always so vibrant, so full of life. So dedicated to his work...to his quest for personal meaning. I'd like to think he found it, thanks to you.
6965TEXT_CTSERKEUREKA3KRILE1_00512_KRILE_000_152Oh, look at me, waxing nostalgic. He'd laugh if he could see me now! Let us not dwell on the past, but look to the future─to the challenges ahead. I don't know what Eureka is, or if it still poses a threat, but regardless, we'll deal with it when the time comes!
7066TEXT_CTSERKEUREKA3KRILE1_00512_KRILE_000_160I don't know what Eureka is, or if it still poses a threat, but regardless, we'll deal with it when the time comes!
7167TEXT_CTSERKEUREKA3KRILE1_00512_SYSTEM_000_170You may continue the Eureka expedition upon reaching elemental level 40.
7268TEXT_CTSERKEUREKA3KRILE1_00512_KRILE_000_180I know this is sudden, but I have to ask: you didn't stumble across a piece of magicite recently, did you?
7369TEXT_CTSERKEUREKA3KRILE1_00512_KRILE_000_181I was afraid you might say no. You see, I've been tracking a number of confluences, but before I could pinpoint their exact location, each vanished without a trace. Which isn't necessarily a bad thing, given that the aetherial currents have become more stable as a result, but...
7470TEXT_CTSERKEUREKA3KRILE1_00512_KRILE_000_182...But I cannot believe this is a natural occurrence. Magicite doesn't simply vanish on its own, which leads me to believe someone is collecting it. If not you, then that leaves...Ejika?
7571TEXT_CTSERKEUREKA3KRILE1_00512_KRILE_000_183But even if he is trying to help, he could at least let us know. And if he's not doing it for us, then that leads me to wonder why. Until we meet again, though, we can only carry on with our original plans.
7672TEXT_CTSERKEUREKA3KRILE1_00512_KRILE_000_184There's one confluence I've located in West Flamerock that has yet to dissipate. If you would be so kind as to hasten to it and retrieve it, I would be most grateful.
7773TEXT_CTSERKEUREKA3KRILE1_00512_KRILE_000_190If you happen to run into Ejika in West Flamerock, perhaps you can ask him what he's up to. If not, then at least we'll have one more piece of magicite and the aetherial currents will be that much better.
7874TEXT_CTSERKEUREKA3KRILE1_00512_KRILE_000_200Welcome back. I take it you have a magicite for me?
7975TEXT_CTSERKEUREKA3KRILE1_00512_KRILE_000_201And Ejika was nowhere to be found, was he? Not that I expected us to get that lucky again. As for me and my research, I think I am getting closer and closer to understanding Grandfather's intent in “reversing” the flow...
8076TEXT_CTSERKEUREKA3KRILE1_00512_KRILE_000_202You'll forgive me if I refrain from divulging my theories until I am more confident, though. I wouldn't want to look the fool!
8177TEXT_CTSERKEUREKA3KRILE1_00512_SYSTEM_000_203You may continue the Eureka expedition upon reaching elemental level 45.
8278TEXT_CTSERKEUREKA3KRILE1_00512_KRILE_000_210Soon, my friend, soon I hope to understand what Grandfather and the others were trying to accomplish. I need but a little more time...
8379TEXT_CTSERKEUREKA3KRILE1_00512_SYSTEM_000_211You may continue the Eureka expedition upon reaching elemental level 45.
8480TEXT_CTSERKEUREKA3KRILE1_00512_KRILE_000_500It's so simple, <Split(<Highlight>ObjectParameter(1)</Highlight>, ,1)/>! How could I have not seen it earlier!?
8581TEXT_CTSERKEUREKA3KRILE1_00512_KRILE_000_501It's a massive ward─one which encompasses the whole of the isle! By diverting the aetherial currents as they did, Grandfather and the others transformed the Isle of Val into an arcane ward!
8682TEXT_CTSERKEUREKA3KRILE1_00512_KRILE_000_502But that was only in the beginning, for what Grandfather later realized was that, by inverting the pattern and reversing the aetherial flow, the primal could be slowly drained of aether, eventually killing it once and for all!
8783TEXT_CTSERKEUREKA3KRILE1_00512_KRILE_000_503Oh, how to explain... Ah! It's like your magia board. Yes─imagine the entire Isle of Val is one giant magia board. Not exactly, of course, but close enough.
8884TEXT_CTSERKEUREKA3KRILE1_00512_KRILE_000_504Every confluence marks a blockage in the aetherial flow, reducing the effectiveness of the board. But, with every blockage removed, the effectiveness increases, and the ward holding the primal in place grows stronger...
8985TEXT_CTSERKEUREKA3KRILE1_00512_KRILE_000_505On second thought, that's not at all similar to the magia board, but never mind that! The important thing is that removing the blockages is key to strengthening the ward─and to that end, we've made great strides.
9086TEXT_CTSERKEUREKA3KRILE1_00512_KRILE_000_506But as it was with Pagos and Anemos before, we cannot simply clear the smaller blockages and call it a day. To completely restore the flow within a given region, we need to, in essence, align certain key points.
9187TEXT_CTSERKEUREKA3KRILE1_00512_KRILE_000_507Were I to return to my rather poor metaphor of a magia board, these would be analogous to pieces of magicite, perhaps...
9288TEXT_CTSERKEUREKA3KRILE1_00512_KRILE_000_508Naturally, given the scale of the ward in question, these would need to be far larger than the pieces in our possession. For a region the size of Pyros, we would need at least four...four what...?
9389TEXT_CTSERKEUREKA3KRILE1_00512_Q10_000_000What will you say?
9490TEXT_CTSERKEUREKA3KRILE1_00512_A10_000_001Aetherytes?
9591TEXT_CTSERKEUREKA3KRILE1_00512_A10_000_002Giant spinning crystal thingies?
9692TEXT_CTSERKEUREKA3KRILE1_00512_KRILE_000_510Aetherytes...?
9793TEXT_CTSERKEUREKA3KRILE1_00512_KRILE_000_511Giant spinning what-now? Are you struggling to describe an aetheryte?
9894TEXT_CTSERKEUREKA3KRILE1_00512_KRILE_000_512By the Twelve, for whatever inexplicable reason I simply cannot help but miss the most obvious solution. I wonder if this is why the founders were so devoted to the study of aetheryte technologies? All the while they were constructing an Aethernet that served a second secret purpose...
9995TEXT_CTSERKEUREKA3KRILE1_00512_KRILE_000_513I'm glad you're here to show me the light, <Split(<Highlight>ObjectParameter(1)</Highlight>, ,1)/>...
10096TEXT_CTSERKEUREKA3KRILE1_00512_KRILE_000_514Gods, for a moment I thought that was an earthquake...
10197TEXT_CTSERKEUREKA3KRILE1_00512_KRILE_000_515I sense a disturbance in the aether. But this doesn't make any... Oh no! We have to go to the proto-aetheryte right now!
10298TEXT_CTSERKEUREKA3KRILE1_00512_KRILE_000_516No, no, no─this is all wrong! It was working perfectly fine before! How could this have happened!?
10399TEXT_CTSERKEUREKA3KRILE1_00512_EJIKATSUNJIKA_000_517How indeed...
104100TEXT_CTSERKEUREKA3KRILE1_00512_KRILE_000_518Ejika... What have you done?
105101TEXT_CTSERKEUREKA3KRILE1_00512_EJIKATSUNJIKA_000_519I have removed a rather vexing impediment from the equation. The proto-aetheryte was integral to the ward.
106102TEXT_CTSERKEUREKA3KRILE1_00512_KRILE_000_520You knew, and yet you...you... Help me to understand, Ejika.
107103TEXT_CTSERKEUREKA3KRILE1_00512_EJIKATSUNJIKA_000_521As if either of you ever could. No, I think I'll let him do the talking.

109105TEXT_CTSERKEUREKA3KRILE1_00512_EJIKATSUNJIKA_000_523And what a magnificent blade it is. Pure aether, by my reckoning. Perhaps the finest blade ever forged. All that I wanted and more...
110106TEXT_CTSERKEUREKA3KRILE1_00512_EJIKATSUNJIKA_000_524Such strength is now mine to command. To use as I see fit. Is this the power that sets your heart racing, O brave and beloved adventurer? When you hold your enemy's life in your hands?

119115TEXT_CTSERKEUREKA3KRILE1_00512_KRILE_000_533If we were in the Sharlayan motherland, perhaps, I'd have all the necessary equipment at my disposal. But it's on the other side of the world...
120116TEXT_CTSERKEUREKA3KRILE1_00512_KRILE_000_534Not only did Ejika destabilize the regional aethernet, I fear he may have shattered the ward Grandfather and the others put in place.
121117TEXT_CTSERKEUREKA3KRILE1_00512_KRILE_000_535If so, then there is nothing stopping Eureka from feeding upon the aetherial currents. Eventually, it'll be strong enough to shatter the barrier encompassing our headquarters, and once that happens, it's all over.

124120TEXT_CTSERKEUREKA3KRILE1_00512_KRILE_000_538How did we come to this? Just when it felt like we were so, so close to setting things right. <sigh> If ever there was a time I wished Grandfather were here to offer his advice...
125121TEXT_CTSERKEUREKA3KRILE1_00512_KRILE_000_550Gods, I can barely keep my eyes open. If I have to spend another night slaving away for the sake of aetherological experiments...
126122TEXT_CTSERKEUREKA3KRILE1_00512_EJIKATSUNJIKA_000_551For someone so exhausted, you clearly have enough energy to whine.
127123TEXT_CTSERKEUREKA3KRILE1_00512_KRILE_000_552As if it's not taking its toll on you too. I can see it in your face, and hear it in your increasingly curt instructions.
128124TEXT_CTSERKEUREKA3KRILE1_00512_EJIKATSUNJIKA_000_553What you call curt, I call efficient. If you're so concerned about whiling away the hours, you could spare me the idle chitchat and leave me to my work. Not all of us can coast on reputation and gods-given blessings.
129125TEXT_CTSERKEUREKA3KRILE1_00512_KRILE_000_554<sigh> Ejika, I'm not looking for another fight. I'm here to help.
130126TEXT_CTSERKEUREKA3KRILE1_00512_EJIKATSUNJIKA_000_555You can help by being anywhere but here. I have matters well in hand and do not require your assistance whatsoever.
131127TEXT_CTSERKEUREKA3KRILE1_00512_KRILE_000_556Oh, you mean now that we've solved those thorny problems which drove you to come to me in the first place?

132128TEXT_CTSERKEUREKA3KRILE1_00512_EJIKATSUNJIKA_000_556Did you now? Then why did you come here?
133129TEXT_CTSERKEUREKA3KRILE1_00512_KRILE_000_557By the Twelve, Ejika, I don't hate you! I've never hated you! You're exhausting and annoying and rude and a bloody pain to work with...
134130TEXT_CTSERKEUREKA3KRILE1_00512_KRILE_000_558But you're also driven and clever and, gods help me, I actually enjoy your company! And I think your research has merit, and I want to see you succeed! Is that really so hard to believe?
135131TEXT_CTSERKEUREKA3KRILE1_00512_EJIKATSUNJIKA_000_559...If you're going to stay, then you should at least make yourself useful.
136132TEXT_CTSERKEUREKA3KRILE1_00512_GALUFBALDESION_000_560Oh Krile, Ejika. You two truly do make a wonderful pair.
137133TEXT_CTSERKEUREKA3KRILE1_00512_KRILE_000_561(-Krile and Ejika-)We do not!
138134TEXT_CTSERKEUREKA3KRILE1_00512_KRILE_000_610I'm sorry, but I'm still trying to get my bearings. After everything that's happened, we need to take our time to formulate a plan of action.
139135TEXT_CTSERKEUREKA3KRILE1_00512_SYSTEM_000_611You may continue the Eureka expedition upon reaching elemental level 50.
140136TEXT_CTSERKEUREKA3KRILE1_00512_KRILE_000_620Let's take stock of what we know. A deiform entity named Eureka was imprisoned within the central tower of the headquarters of the Students of Baldesion by means of a complex arcane ward spanning the entirety of the Isle of Val.
141137TEXT_CTSERKEUREKA3KRILE1_00512_KRILE_000_621Said ward was then modified by Grandfather and the other founders to slowly drain Eureka of its considerable aether, eventually killing it once and for all. However, with the proto-aetheryte no longer operational, the ward has been broken, perhaps permanently.
142138TEXT_CTSERKEUREKA3KRILE1_00512_KRILE_000_622Without the ward to bind or drain it of aether, Eureka can feed on the aetherial currents to regain its strength and eventually break free of the barrier surrounding our headquarters.
143139TEXT_CTSERKEUREKA3KRILE1_00512_KRILE_000_623Assuming Eureka dates back to the time of Allag, defeating it in the traditional manner would ensure it never returned, as those who summoned it forth are long dead. Yet Grandfather and the others instead elected to imprison it here on the isle. The question is, why?
144140TEXT_CTSERKEUREKA3KRILE1_00512_KRILE_000_624If, for some reason, slaying it is not an option, then we would need to restore the original ward. Alas, without the proto-aetheryte, I cannot see a means to do so. Simply put, we have no good options.
145141TEXT_CTSERKEUREKA3KRILE1_00512_KRILE_000_625That said, we cannot simply throw our hands up and do nothing, can we? I should like to think we are of one mind in that respect.
146142TEXT_CTSERKEUREKA3KRILE1_00512_KRILE_000_626So! In the spirit of trying something, anything, regardless of how ineffectual it may prove, I would like you to first help me tie up a loose end.
147143TEXT_CTSERKEUREKA3KRILE1_00512_KRILE_000_627I've detected another confluence in East Flamerock. The last piece of magicite still clogging the aetherial arteries of Pyros, I suspect. I'd like you to go and collect it for me. Please.
148144TEXT_CTSERKEUREKA3KRILE1_00512_KRILE_000_630The confluence is somewhere in East Flamerock. I'm afraid I can't narrow it down more than that. Still, it's hardly the first time you've had to scour a large-ish area crawling with slavering fiends, is it?
149145TEXT_CTSERKEUREKA3KRILE1_00512_KRILE_000_640Good, you've returned. I hope your trip was uneventful?
150146TEXT_CTSERKEUREKA3KRILE1_00512_KRILE_000_641And with that, we have the final magicite of Pyros! Thank you so much for this and everything else you have done for me.
151147TEXT_CTSERKEUREKA3KRILE1_00512_KRILE_000_642I've been thinking, <Split(<Highlight>ObjectParameter(1)</Highlight>, ,1)/>. If the ward is the best means by which we might contain and defeat Eureka, then we must restore it─and we must do so without the proto-aetheryte we cannot repair.
152148TEXT_CTSERKEUREKA3KRILE1_00512_KRILE_000_643And so I propose to you: what if we were to instead construct a new focal point to replace the void left by the proto-aetheryte?
153149TEXT_CTSERKEUREKA3KRILE1_00512_KRILE_000_644I'm quite serious. If we were to utilize the magicite we have collected thus far, I believe we could construct a facsimile to serve in the aetheryte's place.
154150TEXT_CTSERKEUREKA3KRILE1_00512_KRILE_000_645I won't lie. Doing this will take significant time and resources─materials and manpower─that we lack at present. Even so, I think this is our best option.
155151TEXT_CTSERKEUREKA3KRILE1_00512_KRILE_000_646To achieve this, we'll also need to redirect the aetherial streams to fuel the process. To immerse the magicite in a torrential flood of aether, namely the endless font rising from Pagos.
156152TEXT_CTSERKEUREKA3KRILE1_00512_KRILE_000_647Whether or not this is even possible is another question altogether. Therefore, I'd like you to perform a simple test for me.
157153TEXT_CTSERKEUREKA3KRILE1_00512_KRILE_000_648The magicite I've given you has been specially treated to facilitate the absorption of aether. I want you to take it to the Cavern of the Second Cant, which is directly above the Fumarole of Pagos.
158154TEXT_CTSERKEUREKA3KRILE1_00512_KRILE_000_649Hold it above the aetherial font and observe how it reacts, then return to me and report your findings. Thank you!
159155TEXT_CTSERKEUREKA3KRILE1_00512_KRILE_000_650The aetherial font rising from the Fumarole should extend all the way to the Cavern of the Second Cant. Take the treated magicite there and observe how it reacts, then return to me with your findings.
160156TEXT_CTSERKEUREKA3KRILE1_00512_KRILE_000_660Please tell me you come bearing good news...
161157TEXT_CTSERKEUREKA3KRILE1_00512_KRILE_000_661What a relief! Then the method I envisioned for constructing an aetheryte facsimile to restore the ward should be viable.
162158TEXT_CTSERKEUREKA3KRILE1_00512_KRILE_000_662And with that, I believe we have once again come to the end of our time together. As I mentioned before, this process will require significant time and resources which we lack at present, so there's nothing else you can contribute to our expedition for now.
163159TEXT_CTSERKEUREKA3KRILE1_00512_KRILE_000_663I should say, though, that the next stage of our expedition may well be our last. If we can't gain access to our headquarters soon, then we may be too late to stop Eureka, and then...
164160TEXT_CTSERKEUREKA3KRILE1_00512_KRILE_000_664Bah. I'll refrain from grim predictions and the like, especially when I should like to think it will not come to that. We're coming for you, Ejika!
