| 4 | 0 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_06003_000010_EMETSELCH | And lo, vile beasts did rise... |
| 5 | 1 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_06003_000020_EMETSELCH | Leaving naught in their wake but blood and ash. |
| 6 | 2 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_06003_000030_EMETSELCH | Sun scorches earth and boils seas... |
| 7 | 3 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_06003_000040_EMETSELCH | And our sins ascend unto the heavens─ |
| 8 | 4 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_06003_000050_EMETSELCH | Three dooms to unmake all we were. |
| 9 | 5 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_06003_000060_ALISAIE | The sky burns. The Final Days...are truly upon us. |
| 10 | 6 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_06003_000070_AWAHEEN | ...My friends. I trust you have heard the news. |
| 11 | 7 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_06003_000080_ALPHINAUD | We have. What can you tell us of the situation, Your Excellency? |
| 12 | 8 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_06003_000090_AWAHEEN | Last night, the isle was rocked by tremors, and the earth itself cried out. |
| 13 | 9 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_06003_000100_AWAHEEN | Aloft, the heavens began to burn. From all about, unholy beasts─the likes of which we had never seen─came forth in fury and rage. |
| 14 | 10 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_06003_000110_AWAHEEN | ...No. To say they “came forth” would be...inexact. |
| 15 | 11 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_06003_000120_AWAHEEN | The people of Radz-at-Han themselves transformed into these baleful fiends. |
| 16 | 12 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_06003_000130_AWAHEEN | Though the phenomenon was observed throughout our lands, the first creature─the largest and most dreadful of the lot─wrought havoc upon us here, in our fair city. |
| 17 | 13 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_06003_000140_AWAHEEN | Though they bear superficial resemblance to divinities of legend, they are ungodly abominations. The people decry them as “blasphemies.” |
| 18 | 14 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_06003_000150_AWAHEEN | The large one's rampage has since taken it to the northern reaches of the island. I mean to dispatch our Radiant Host in an attempt to quell the threat. |
| 19 | 15 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_06003_000160_ESTINIEN | And what of Vrtra? |
| 20 | 16 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_06003_000170_AWAHEEN | Vrtra, too, makes for the north of his own accord. And yet... |
| 21 | 17 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_06003_000180_AWAHEEN | He knows the blasphemy and its minions were but yesterday his beloved people. |
| 22 | 18 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_06003_000190_AWAHEEN | I pray his boundless compassion and mercy does not deter him from taking unenviable but necessary action. |
| 23 | 19 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_06003_000200_ALPHINAUD | ...Understood. I ask that you allow us to aid you in quelling this threat. |
| 24 | 20 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_06003_000210_AWAHEEN | You would risk your lives to help us yet again? I have no words to express my gratitude. |
| 25 | 21 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_06003_000220_AWAHEEN | Our regiments approach the north from several directions, with a number of units set to depart from the docks of Yedlihmad. |
| 26 | 22 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_06003_000230_AWAHEEN | They will make landfall in an area of dense jungle, where one can expect to encounter dangers even beyond the fell beasts we hunt. |
| 27 | 23 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_06003_000240_AWAHEEN | I leave you to your preparation. You will find me at the docks when you are ready to depart. |
| 28 | 24 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_06003_000250_ALISAIE | We're as prepared as we'll ever be. Let's go. |
| 29 | 25 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_06003_000260_FAKEGODBEAST | Grrraaaoooooohhhhhh! |
| 30 | 26 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_06003_000270_FAKEGODBEAST | Aaaaaaaaaggghhh! |
| 31 | 27 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_06003_000280_FAKEGODBEAST | Rrrrrruuu...ined. I'm...rrruuuined... |
| 32 | 28 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_06003_000290_YSHTOLA | As I feared... |
| 33 | 29 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_06003_000300_ALPHINAUD | What is it? |
| 34 | 30 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_06003_000310_YSHTOLA | The beast was there...and now it is no more, yes? |
| 35 | 31 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_06003_000320_THANCRED | Indeed, we saw it plain. But...you didn't, did you? |
| 36 | 32 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_06003_000330_YSHTOLA | I saw nothing. Not the blasphemy that perished here, nor the other men-turned-beasts. And because of this, I now see all too well... |
| 37 | 33 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_06003_000340_YSHTOLA | There is no aether. Where the creatures should be, I saw naught but emptiness... |
| 38 | 34 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_06003_000350_ALPHINAUD | Emptiness? But that would mean... |
| 39 | 35 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_06003_000360_YSHTOLA | Recall the words of the watcher. 'Twas a stagnancy of aether─a cessation of flow leading to decay and absence─that led the ancients to conclude their star was dying... |
| 40 | 36 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_06003_000370_YSHTOLA | This is the same phenomenon. The instant these people are seized by the transformation, their aether begins to...rot and crumble away like dried mud... |
| 41 | 37 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_06003_000380_YSHTOLA | Until, from their corporeal forms to their very souls, naught remains... |
| 42 | 38 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_06003_000390_ALISAIE | But the beast spoke with its dying breath! Surely, at least a sliver of the man it was endured! |
| 43 | 39 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_06003_000400_YSHTOLA | ...Mayhap so. But even if the process was incomplete, 'twas little more than a faint residue. |
| 44 | 40 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_06003_000410_ALISAIE | Gods be good... You're saying they cannot be saved? |
| 45 | 41 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_06003_000420_YSHTOLA | Not by any means known to me. |
| 46 | 42 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_06003_000430_YSHTOLA | ...Or by any means at all, like as not. For there is naught left to save. |
| 47 | 43 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_06003_000440_GRAHATIA | They return not even to the aetherial sea... |
| 48 | 44 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_06003_000450_VRITRA | The beasts rage on, their hunger insatiable... |
| 49 | 45 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_06003_000460_VRITRA | Even deprived of their master, they perpetuate his legacy of hate. |
| 50 | 46 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_06003_000470_VRITRA | Once proud sons and daughters of Thavnair, all of them...and now I spill their blood! |
| 51 | 47 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_06003_000480_AWAHEEN | Vrtra! My friends! I am heartened to see you safe. |
| 52 | 48 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_06003_000490_ESTINIEN | You put your secret at risk. |
| 53 | 49 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_06003_000500_AWAHEEN | Those closest to me already know the truth─a truth I must now share with one and all. |
| 54 | 50 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_06003_000510_AWAHEEN | ...Vrtra. Calamity has come to Radz-at-Han. Our fair nation is rent by screams of pain and despair. |
| 55 | 51 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_06003_000520_AWAHEEN | More than ever, we require a strong leader to shepherd us through the storm. Reveal your true self to our people, Vrtra, and guide us to salvation! |
| 56 | 52 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_06003_000530_VRITRA | What madness is this, Ahewann? Thou dost forget thyself. |
| 57 | 53 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_06003_000540_VRITRA | Were we to reveal our duplicity, it would do naught but foster confusion and chaos. |
| 58 | 54 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_06003_000550_VRITRA | Nay, I shall remain the satrap's loyal ally, and do battle with the beasts. Easing hearts and leading the people to safety is thy task, and thine alone. |
| 59 | 55 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_06003_000560_VRITRA | I ask that you remain at Ahewann's side, and render unto him what aid you may. |
| 60 | 56 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_06003_000570_VRITRA | I know not what lies ahead, but without you, Radz–at–Han will not survive. |
| 61 | 57 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_06003_000580_ESTINIEN | ...Take me with you. |
| 62 | 58 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_06003_000590_ESTINIEN | I am as at home fighting in the air as I am on land. Take me with you. |
| 63 | 59 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_06003_000600_VRITRA | Were my words unclear? I require no assistance. Thy place is at Ahewann's side. |
| 64 | 60 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_06003_000610_THANCRED | Estinien─here. |
| 65 | 61 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_06003_000620_THANCRED | It's the last thing you ever wanted─a linkpearl. |
| 66 | 62 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_06003_000630_THANCRED | We'd gain much from knowing your elevated perspective. And it'll keep you from getting lonely─which I know you loathe. |
| 67 | 63 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_06003_000640_ESTINIEN | |
| 68 | 64 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_06003_000650_ESTINIEN | You heard the man. Seems I'm coming with you after all. |
| 69 | 65 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_06003_000660_VRITRA | Then I pray thy grip is iron. Be it on thy head if thou dost chance to fall. |
| 70 | 66 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_06003_000670_ESTINIEN | Fair enough. Now─shall we? |
| 71 | 67 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_06003_000680_AWAHEEN | I fear it is as Vrtra says: we will not survive this on our own. While I am loath to impose upon you again... |
| 72 | 68 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_06003_000690_ALPHINAUD | I would insist if you did not. 'Tis the very reason we have come. |
| 73 | 69 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_06003_000700_AWAHEEN | Then once more I find myself without words to thank you properly. Let us return to the capital and plan our next course of action. |
| 74 | 70 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_06003_000710_YSHTOLA | There you are. You've spoken with the survivors? |
| 75 | 71 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_06003_000720_GRAHATIA | Indeed. We thought to share what we have gleaned, that we might together gain a greater understanding of present circumstances. |
| 76 | 72 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_06003_000730_ALPHINAUD | Fortuitous timing. Alisaie and I completed our own investigations not long ago. |
| 77 | 73 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_06003_000740_YSHTOLA | Then we should take a moment to compare notes. Shall we begin with the two of you? |
| 78 | 74 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_06003_000750_ALPHINAUD | ...So the merchant Khalzahl was gravely concerned about his business in the days preceding his untimely end. |
| 79 | 75 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_06003_000760_ALISAIE | The tales we heard were much the same. The first victims to be changed into blasphemies were all overcome with anguish of one manner or another. |
| 80 | 76 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_06003_000770_ALISAIE | Then those who saw their loved ones stolen before their eyes succumbed to a similar panic, setting in motion a chain of transformations. |
| 81 | 77 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_06003_000780_ALPHINAUD | Fear, unease, despair...these negative feelings serve as a catalyst. |
| 82 | 78 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_06003_000790_YSHTOLA | If so, then it is not unlike the calamity that befell the ancients. |
| 83 | 79 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_06003_000800_YSHTOLA | With their creation magicks they unwittingly gave form to untold horrors. |
| 84 | 80 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_06003_000810_YSHTOLA | Had they simply lost control, surely it would have manifested in many forms─not all of them monstrous. |
| 85 | 81 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_06003_000820_YSHTOLA | Yet somehow this phenomenon is triggered solely by the darkness in their hearts. A common thread with what we now witness. |
| 86 | 82 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_06003_000830_ALPHINAUD | ...Common, but not identical. While the beasts the ancients faced were forged with magic alone, those of today are born of sentient beings. |
| 87 | 83 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_06003_000840_ALPHINAUD | Why remains to be seen, but there is one fundamental difference between us and our predecessors: our souls are sundered, whereas theirs were not. |
| 88 | 84 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_06003_000850_ALPHINAUD | Perhaps that single variable makes all the difference. |
| 89 | 85 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_06003_000860_GRAHATIA | If I may...there was another detail that troubled me. |
| 90 | 86 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_06003_000870_GRAHATIA | We have it on good authority that Khalzahl's transformation took place before the skies began to burn. |
| 91 | 87 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_06003_000880_ALISAIE | What!? If that's true, then the situation's more dire than we realized. |
| 92 | 88 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_06003_000890_ALISAIE | It means even if there's no ominous sign presaging the Final Days, anyone─anywhere─has the potential to become a beast. |
| 93 | 89 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_06003_000900_ALISAIE | Even in lands we thought safe. Even as we speak... |
| 94 | 90 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_06003_000910_HANNISHMANA | Look, it's the satrap! |
| 95 | 91 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_06003_000920_HANNISHBOYA | The satrap! |
| 96 | 92 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_06003_000930_HANNISHWOMANA | Thank the heavens... |
| 97 | 93 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_06003_000940_AWAHEEN | My countrymen. I am relieved and heartened to see you strong and safe. |
| 98 | 94 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_06003_000950_AWAHEEN | While the danger has not yet passed─far from it─allow me to assure you that the beasts that raged within the city walls have been exterminated to the last. |
| 99 | 95 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_06003_000960_AWAHEEN | Outside this sanctuary, the brave men and women of the Radiant Host and our dragon ally continue to battle our unholy foes. |
| 100 | 96 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_06003_000970_AWAHEEN | I pray these tidings put your minds at ease, and help you calm your hearts. Have faith that we shall soon conquer this terrible trial. |
| 101 | 97 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_06003_000980_HANNISHOLDWOMANA | Your Excellency...is there any word from Palaka's Stand? |
| 102 | 98 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_06003_000990_HANNISHOLDWOMANA | My grandson was bound for there yesterday, and I-I worry for his life... |
| 103 | 99 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_06003_001000_AWAHEEN | We are still awaiting a report. But I promise you, as soon as I have aught to share... |
| 104 | 100 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_06003_001010_MATSYA | (-???-)Y-Your Excellency! I bring grave news! |
| 105 | 101 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_06003_001020_AWAHEEN | You are...? |
| 106 | 102 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_06003_001030_MATSYA | I...I'm Matsya of Akyaali. A humble fisherman. |
| 107 | 103 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_06003_001040_THANCRED | Ah, I remember you from our first visit. |
| 108 | 104 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_06003_001050_MATSYA | Hm? Wait, you're... |
| 109 | 105 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_06003_001060_MATSYA | B-But no, that can wait! |
| 110 | 106 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_06003_001070_MATSYA | When the skies turned red, I set off for Palaka's Stand, fearing for the safety of a friend. |
| 111 | 107 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_06003_001080_MATSYA | But as I drew near the village, I saw dreadful beasts all about. |
| 112 | 108 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_06003_001090_HANNISHOLDWOMANA | No... Gods have mercy... |
| 113 | 109 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_06003_001100_HANNISHOLDWOMANA | Your Excellency! Save my grandson! I beg of you! |
| 114 | 110 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_06003_001110_AWAHEEN | We will spare no effort to save all we can. But you must remain calm─ |
| 115 | 111 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_06003_001120_HANNISHOLDWOMANA | Calm!? You tell me to be calm!? You saw those beasts! They tore our bravest warriors limb from limb! |
| 116 | 112 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_06003_001130_HANNISHOLDWOMANA | What if we are too late? If they catch him─sink their fangs into him... |
| 117 | 113 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_06003_001140_HANNISHOLDWOMANA | The fangs...the blood...the screams! |
| 118 | 114 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_06003_001150_YSHTOLA | Get away from her. Now! |
| 119 | 115 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_06003_001160_HANNISHOLDWOMANA | Aaagggh! Aaaaaaaaaggghhh! |
| 120 | 116 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_06003_001170_HANNISHWOMANA | Nooo! Nooooooooo! |
| 121 | 117 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_06003_001180_THANCRED | ...Damn it. We've got to kill them before it spreads! |
| 122 | 118 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_06003_001190_YSHTOLA | We'll handle this. See the townspeople to safety! |
| 123 | 119 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_06003_001200_HANNISHMANA | Run! As fast as you can! |
| 124 | 120 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_06003_001210_HANNISHBOYA | Ah! |
| 125 | 121 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_06003_001220_HANNISHBOYA | Aaah...aaah...no! |
| 126 | 122 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_06003_001230_HANNISHBOYA | Gaaaaaaghhh! |
| 127 | 123 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_06003_001240_HANNISHBOYA | Faaa...grrraaaaaaghhh! |
| 128 | 124 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_06003_001242_AWAHEEN | |

| 131 | 127 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_06003_001250_AWAHEEN | Vrtra... Our people... You must save them! |
| 132 | 128 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_06003_001260_HANNISHMANA | My son...he...he... The satrap! |
| 133 | 129 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_06003_001270_GRAHATIA | Enough! You must run, for their sake and your own! |
| 134 | 130 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_06003_001275_HANNISHMANA | |
| 135 | 131 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_06003_001280_GRAHATIA | Yes. You will survive. You must. |
| 136 | 132 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_06003_001290_GRAHATIA | |
| 137 | 133 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_06003_001300_GRAHATIA | Be strong, my friends! |
| 138 | 134 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_06003_001310_GRAHATIA | Fear not, for we will defeat these abominations! |
| 139 | 135 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_06003_001320_GRAHATIA | Brave men and women of the Radiant Host! Lend Y'shtola and Thancred your aid! Let not a single beast escape! |
| 140 | 136 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_06003_001330_GRAHATIA | The rest of you, flee this place! Carry the wounded if you must! Head indoors, or underground! |
| 141 | 137 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_06003_001340_GRAHATIA | Above all, stay calm. No beasts will follow you─we will see to that. |
| 142 | 138 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_06003_001350_THANCRED | Alphinaud! Alisaie! Leave the city to us, and make for Palaka's Stand at once! |
| 143 | 139 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_06003_001360_THANCRED | Matsya, show my friends to the village. I promise you─they're more capable than the Host's finest. |
| 144 | 140 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_06003_001370_MATSYA | R-Right! |
| 145 | 141 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_06003_001380_GRAHATIA | Go with them, will you? |
| 146 | 142 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_06003_001390_GRAHATIA | We will save these people─as many as we can! |
| 147 | 143 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_06003_001400_SYSTEM_NONE_VOICE | Meanwhile, in the skies above Thavnair─ |
| 148 | 144 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_06003_001410_ESTINIEN | No more enemies to trouble us here... |
| 149 | 145 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_06003_001420_ESTINIEN | ...It's me. How fare you below? |
| 150 | 146 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_06003_001430_ESTINIEN | ...Understood. I will inform Vrtra. |
| 151 | 147 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_06003_001440_ESTINIEN | Chaos and panic sweep Radz-at-Han, and many more have succumbed to the transformations. |
| 152 | 148 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_06003_001450_ESTINIEN | Amidst the fray, Ahewann fell...protecting a grief-stricken father. |
| 153 | 149 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_06003_001460_VRITRA | |
| 154 | 150 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_06003_001470_ESTINIEN | My friends fight alongside your Radiant Host to secure the capital. |
| 155 | 151 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_06003_001480_ESTINIEN | Beasts have been sighted in Palaka's Stand as well. We have divided our forces in hopes of quelling the threat there. |

| 308 | 304 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_06003_002970_FOURCHENAULT | 'Tis by no means madness. |
| 309 | 305 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_06003_002980_FOURCHENAULT | With the coming of the Seventh Umbral Calamity, the true nature of the red moon Dalamud was revealed─that it was an artificial construct of ancient Allag. |
| 310 | 306 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_06003_002990_FOURCHENAULT | But what of the silver moon? |
| 311 | 307 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_06003_003000_FOURCHENAULT | This celestial satellite is yet another technological marvel fashioned and maintained by ancient allies. A ship that will sail the heavens and deliver our people from destruction. |
| 312 | 308 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_06003_003010_FOURCHENAULT | And by our people, I speak not only of Sharlayan. We mean to save every man, woman, and child it is within our power to save. |
| 313 | 309 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_06003_003020_FOURCHENAULT | Including you, our dear friends of Radz–at–Han. Recent events necessitate adjustments be made, and quickly, but we can and will escort you safely to the moon. |
| 314 | 310 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_06003_003030_VRITRA | Long has thy Forum been allies to Thavnair. I trust thou dost not extend this offer lightly. |
| 315 | 311 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_06003_003040_VRITRA | Yet I wonder...is this truly the way? Is there a future to be built for us beyond this star our father deemed the last bastion of hope? |
| 316 | 312 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_06003_003050_FOURCHENAULT | It is for that very reason I come before you and your people. To answer any and all of your questions. To offer my assurances and allay your fears. |
| 317 | 313 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_06003_003060_FOURCHENAULT | ...Though if you wish the best for your people, I advise you to render your decision swiftly. |
| 318 | 314 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_06003_003070_VRITRA | Show our friends to Meghaduta. They are to be received as honored guests. |
| 319 | 315 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_06003_003080_VRITRA | Worry not. Whatever decision is reached, your paths shall be yours to decide. |
| 320 | 316 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_06003_003090_VRITRA | Until then, heed the warning of these brave heroes─guard your hearts against fear and despair, for it is within such fertile soil that the seeds of blasphemy find purchase. |
| 321 | 317 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_06003_003100_VRITRA | Remain calm and attend to your daily tasks. I shall return anon. |
| 322 | 318 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_06003_003110_HANNISHBOYB | We'll do as you say, Master Vrtra. We believe in you! |
| 323 | 319 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_06003_003120_NIDHANA | Oh, you're still here! What a relief! |
| 324 | 320 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_06003_003130_ALISAIE | Nidhana? What's the matter? Has something happened at Palaka's Stand? |
| 325 | 321 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_06003_003140_NIDHANA | Oh, no! Not that I know of. I'd just hoped to hear your thoughts on a theory of mine. |
| 326 | 322 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_06003_003150_NIDHANA | All who undergo the transformation are drained of their aether, yes? What is it, then, that gives these beasts the strength to carry on as they do? |
| 327 | 323 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_06003_003160_NIDHANA | Logically, they must be drawing upon an alternate form of vital energy. That put me in mind of our earlier conversation, when I tried to explain the essence which many confuse with aether. |
| 328 | 324 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_06003_003170_YSHTOLA | Akasa... Yes, I remember. The unseen gift bestowed from on high... |
| 329 | 325 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_06003_003180_YSHTOLA | An energy influenced solely by emotion! |
| 330 | 326 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_06003_003190_NIDHANA | Yes, yes. In this instance, negative ones set akasa into motion, thereby infusing the beasts with vitality. I posit this is the mechanism by which the beasts are born and sustained. |
| 331 | 327 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_06003_003200_NIDHANA | Ah─do you still have that flower? |
| 332 | 328 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_06003_003210_NIDHANA | If we accept that it once shone bright by drawing upon akasa influenced by the thoughts of those nearby... |
| 333 | 329 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_06003_003220_NIDHANA | Then fear, terror, despair─negative emotions so powerful as to suffocate it─permeated the air in this place. |
| 334 | 330 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_06003_003230_NIDHANA | You must be very careful. The forces which drive the Final Days may be beyond our ability to perceive. |
| 335 | 331 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_06003_003240_NIDHANA | Sorry...I didn't mean to scare you like that. At any rate, I will continue my research into akasa. |
| 336 | 332 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_06003_003250_NIDHANA | Do temper your expectations, however. There are sadly few detailed studies upon which I may draw. |
| 337 | 333 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_06003_003260_YSHTOLA | Formulating a new theory, as you have, is itself no small feat. I wish you well in your endeavors, and pray you take care. |
| 338 | 334 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_06003_003270_NIDHANA | Thank you. You stay safe as well, yes? Till next we meet─and we will meet again! |
| 339 | 335 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_06003_003280_YSHTOLA | So blasphemies now plague all the realm... |
| 340 | 336 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_06003_003290_ALPHINAUD | It will only get worse, if what Father said is true. As it did in Amaurot... |
| 341 | 337 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_06003_003300_THANCRED | If that's our model, then shouldn't we expect the effects to grow more severe as it feeds off its own spread? |
| 342 | 338 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_06003_003310_THANCRED | As if people transforming into those monstrosities wasn't bad enough, if the flora and fauna─if the land itself turned against us... |
| 343 | 339 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_06003_003320_ESTINIEN | ...No one would survive. |
| 344 | 340 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_06003_003330_MIHLEEL | Here's your order, friend. |
| 345 | 341 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_06003_003340_MIHLEEL | May you find comfort in these dark times. |
| 346 | 342 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_06003_003350_ALISAIE | Where do we go from here? |
| 347 | 343 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_06003_003360_ALISAIE | If there's one thing we've learned, fighting blindly and simply reacting to what comes will accomplish nothing. |
| 348 | 344 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_06003_003370_ALISAIE | We must find a solution that addresses the fundamental cause. Before our strength is exhausted. Before this crisis spirals out of control! |
| 349 | 345 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_06003_003380_ALISAIE | Is there something...anything we've overlooked? |
| 350 | 346 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_06003_003390_YSHTOLA | If there is an answer, Hydaelyn Herself will have it. 'Twas She who bound Zodiark and forestalled the Final Days. |
| 351 | 347 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_06003_003400_YSHTOLA | Alas, we have heard naught from Her since the Tower of Babil. Whether She cannot or will not speak, I can only speculate... |
| 352 | 348 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_06003_003410_YSHTOLA | Even the flower She gave us is no more... |
| 353 | 349 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_06003_003420_WATCHEROFMOON | <UIForeground>F20223</UIForeground>In our time, we called it “Elpis”... You would do well to remember the name.<UIForeground>01</UIForeground> |
| 354 | 350 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_06003_003430_YSHTOLA | So advised the watcher...but what could be the significance of that name? It is entirely unfamiliar to me. |
| 355 | 351 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_06003_003440_ALPHINAUD | To me as well. It meant something to the ancients, though. “In <Emphasis>our</Emphasis> time...” |
| 356 | 352 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_06003_003450_YSHTOLA | Most surely. Yet I do not recall a single mention of it in the records of Anyder. |
| 357 | 353 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_06003_003460_ALISAIE | Another dead end, and quite literally. It's not as if there are any ancients living we could go and ask... |
| 358 | 354 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_06003_003470_GRAHATIA | Not alive as such...but not quite dead... |
| 359 | 355 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_06003_003480_GRAHATIA | ...Elidibus. |
| 360 | 356 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_06003_003490_GRAHATIA | I sealed him in the white auracite of the Crystal Tower, back on the First. |
| 361 | 357 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_06003_003500_GRAHATIA | Contained within that reservoir of aether that maintains it─aether that is returned little by little to the sea...naught may remain of his soul. |
| 362 | 358 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_06003_003510_GRAHATIA | However, if part of it lingers...we might be able to speak with him there. |
| 363 | 359 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_06003_003520_GRAHATIA | I─no, we can no longer make that journey. But you, my friend, still can. |
| 364 | 360 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_06003_Q2_000_001_NONE_VOICE | What will you say? |
| 365 | 361 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_06003_A2_000_001_NONE_VOICE | It's worth a try. |
| 366 | 362 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_06003_A2_000_002_NONE_VOICE | It would be an opportunity to look in on the others as well. |
| 367 | 363 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_06003_A2_000_003_NONE_VOICE | If there is truly no other way... |
| 368 | 364 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_06003_003530_GRAHATIA | Yes, we can but act and hope for the best! |
| 369 | 365 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_06003_003540_GRAHATIA | Thank you, my friend. That would mean much to me. |
| 370 | 366 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_06003_003550_GRAHATIA | I understand your trepidation, but there is merit in making the journey regardless. You could see with your own eyes whether the First, too, faces its Final Days. |
| 371 | 367 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_06003_003560_THANCRED | If nothing else, should we learn the First is safe, we'll have that much more reason to keep fighting the good fight. |
| 372 | 368 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_06003_003570_THANCRED | That said...the odds are not in our favor, to say the least. |
| 373 | 369 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_06003_003580_THANCRED | Which is why we're fortunate to have Urianger up there on the moon, working hard to make all the necessary preparations for our departure, should it come to it. |
| 374 | 370 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_06003_003590_ALISAIE | ...And why we have nothing to lose by staying the course till the last instant! |
| 375 | 371 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_06003_003600_YSHTOLA | Indeed. To the last, let us all do what we can. |
| 376 | 372 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_06003_003610_YSHTOLA | I will consult with Master Matoya and see if she knows of a way to reach Hydaelyn from the aetherial sea. |
| 377 | 373 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_06003_003620_ALPHINAUD | And I will visit the nations' leaders and attempt to ascertain how far the Final Days have progressed elsewhere. |
| 378 | 374 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_06003_003630_ESTINIEN | Keep me abreast of your findings. I can seek out and slay the worst of the immediate threats, if only to slow the spread. |
| 379 | 375 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_06003_003640_ALPHINAUD | Unease, terror, despair... Try as we might to suppress them, these emotions will return to harry us time and time again. |
| 380 | 376 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_06003_003650_ALPHINAUD | But when they do, remember this... |
| 381 | 377 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_06003_003660_ALPHINAUD | Your friends and loved ones are out there, somewhere, sharing in your struggle. You are not alone. |
| 382 | 378 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_06003_003670_EMETSELCH | So ends the brief respite before the next revelation. |
| 383 | 379 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_06003_003680_EMETSELCH | Yes, so much left for you to see... |
| 384 | 380 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_06003_003690_EMETSELCH | Where beginning ends, and end begins... |
