40TEXT_BANOMI003_04603_SEQ_00N-7000 would laud you for your service to the café. ※The difficulty of this quest will be synced to your current level.
51TEXT_BANOMI003_04603_SEQ_01You speak with N-7000 and Jammingway, who commend you on your work with the Karellians and Grebuloffs. Never one to stand still when they could be dragging you around, however, Jammingway insists on taking you to visit the Last Dregs to see the current state of the café for yourself. ※Please note that the difficulty of this quest has been synced to your current level. Furthermore, you may not proceed with a class or job that is different from when you accepted this quest.
62TEXT_BANOMI003_04603_SEQ_02To say that all is not going as well as your colleagues anticipated would be an understatement, given that you arrive to find that Patron-005 and Patron-006─of the nihilistic Nibirun civilization─have triggered an existential crisis in one of the Omicron barkeeps. N-7000 steps in to prevent a complete system shutdown and is fortunately able to redirect Nibirun attentions to the other settlements of Ultima Thule for a time, but it is clear that making satisfied customers out of these individuals will be a monumental undertaking. Seeking a better source of emotional influence and potential custom, the three of you agree to try the Ea, instead.
73TEXT_BANOMI003_04603_SEQ_03You journey to the abode of the Ea, where Jammingway proposes dividing your forces in the hopes of striking upon a likely customer. As ordered, you direct your attention to the mysterious stone formation where members of the ethereal civilization seem to congregate.
84TEXT_BANOMI003_04603_SEQ_04Though you speak to two Ea, neither seems the least impressed by your offers of quality food and beverages. Perhaps Jammingway and N-7000 have had better luck─but probably not.
95TEXT_BANOMI003_04603_SEQ_05Indeed, your fellow Last Dregs managers have met with round dismissal at the spindly hands of the Ea. Having taken this all rather personally, Jammingway insists that you make another attempt to pique their curiosity─this time, together.
106TEXT_BANOMI003_04603_SEQ_06You speak again with the sophistic Ea, this time petitioning it to answer just a few questions. It has no objections─evidently, incessant questioning is something of a pastime among the Ea─and goes so far as to invite a friend to join in. Though the pair end up asking more questions than you do, your rousing discussion nevertheless manages to stimulate their desire to learn more of the gustatory sensations they may have once experienced. To this end, your fellow managers propose experimenting with various dishes to see if any resonate, and send you off in search of unfamiliar flavors.
117TEXT_BANOMI003_04603_SEQ_07Having delivered the necessary ingredients to N-7000, you gaze with trepidation upon the various dishes Jammingway has prepared. As your role as taste-tester demands, however, you bravely sample all that you can manage, providing gustatory data for N-7000 to pass along to the Ea. They are pleased─if slightly flummoxed─by the result, managing even to identify shellfish as a flavor their people may have once enjoyed. Curious to see if this has had any effect on the star, Jammingway leads the way to Elysion.
128TEXT_BANOMI003_04603_SEQ_08You arrive on Elysion to find it inhabited by new life─a species of jellyfish-like creatures matching naught real or reconstructed in N-7000's database. The Ea speculate that these creatures might be born of some long-lost memory of their infant forms, and dub them the “Miw Miisv” in hopes that they may unlock further insights into the corporeal Ea that once were.

5349TEXT_BANOMI003_04603_N7000_000_002Current mission is proceeding─as audio records indicate your people would say─“swimmingly, hahaha.”
5450TEXT_BANOMI003_04603_JAMMINGWAY_000_003We've learned much from the Karellians and Grebuloffs, and the Last Dregs is now the site of joyful cultural exchange. But don't take our word for it─come and see!
5551TEXT_BANOMI003_04603_Q9_000_000Travel to the Last Dregs?
5652TEXT_BANOMI003_04603_N7000_000_010Café status: moderately busy. Waiting times nominal.
5753TEXT_BANOMI003_04603_JAMMINGWAY_000_011We should keep an eye on that one. They've already polished off three bowls of soup today.
5854TEXT_BANOMI003_04603_N7000_000_012Well-fed Grebuloffs provide important mission data. Soup-related sacrifices must be made.
5955TEXT_BANOMI003_04603_JAMMINGWAY_000_013Oho... You <Emphasis>like</Emphasis> making customers happy! Admit it!
6056TEXT_BANOMI003_04603_N7000_100_014<whirr> This unit merely acknowledges customer satisfaction as more conducive to mission objectives than mutual hostility. Speaking of which, Patron-005 and Patron-006 should be closely monitored...
6157TEXT_BANOMI003_04603_JAMMINGWAY_000_014Try to change the subject on me, will y─ Wait, who are Patron-005 and Patron-006?
6258TEXT_BANOMI003_04603_JAMMINGWAY_000_015Hail, newcome patrons! I, Jammingway, would like to personally welcome you to the Last Dregs. Can you tell me a bit about your home star?
6359TEXT_BANOMI003_04603_NIBIRAENOMI_000_016(-Ominous Figure-)......
6460TEXT_BANOMI003_04603_OMICRON04603_000_017Analyzing metaphysical waveform... Nihilism protocols activated. <beep>... <beep>... <beeeeeep>
6561TEXT_BANOMI003_04603_NIBIRAENOMI_000_018(-Ominous Figure-)It has shared in our truth and shed the self. This is well. The universe, too, is finite. Only in death may we embrace true infinity...
6662TEXT_BANOMI003_04603_JAMMINGWAY_000_019Did you just assassinate my barista? Why would you do that!?
6763TEXT_BANOMI003_04603_N7000_000_020<whirr> Situational analysis complete. New customers are of the Nibirun civilization. This society eliminated concepts deemed unpleasant by organic life-forms, such as “war” and “death.” In so doing, individuals attained physical immortality and a state of unified comprehension.
6864TEXT_BANOMI003_04603_N7000_100_020Their projections were insufficient, however. The Nibirun people only realized that the elimination of strife would similarly destroy their sources of joy when it was too late. At that point, they jointly decided it would be preferable to return to nonexistence.
6965TEXT_BANOMI003_04603_N7000_000_021Pardon this unit for a moment... Halting shutdown processes. Troubleshooter initialized. Repair features and self-determination algorithm restored.
7066TEXT_BANOMI003_04603_NIBIRAENOMI_000_022Why have you returned this being to the finite? The golden mercy of Ra-la was so close at hand...
7167TEXT_BANOMI003_04603_JAMMINGWAY_000_023Sweet Mother, this is terrifying! Cultural exchange be damned─we can't let them near the other patrons.
7268TEXT_BANOMI003_04603_N7000_000_024On the contrary─this unit believes that exposure to other civilizations may benefit these customers, and invites them to tour the local simulations of dead worlds.
7369TEXT_BANOMI003_04603_NIBIRAENOMI_000_025To be certain, the nature of other civilizations is a long-held curiosity of ours. It may be...interesting to discuss their inherent futility.
7470TEXT_BANOMI003_04603_N7000_000_026That is “the spirit”! All societies in Ultima Thule are subject to unique manifestations of despair, so this unit recommends comparing each to the tragic perfection of the Nibirun.
7571TEXT_BANOMI003_04603_NIBIRAENOMI_000_027We are in favor. To arrive at philosophical resonance with such beings will fill much time before blessed obliteration...
7672TEXT_BANOMI003_04603_Q1_000_000What will you say?
7773TEXT_BANOMI003_04603_A1_000_001...What the hells?
7874TEXT_BANOMI003_04603_A1_000_002I hope you have a plan to prevent this place from falling to despair.
7975TEXT_BANOMI003_04603_N7000_000_029You have already demonstrated to the peoples of Ultima Thule that despair can be overcome. Projections indicate that, once restored, hope is not so easily extinguished.
8076TEXT_BANOMI003_04603_JAMMINGWAY_000_030Hmm... So you think they'll be able to help each other, like you saved M-104 just now?
8177TEXT_BANOMI003_04603_JAMMINGWAY_100_030I suppose I should be glad that they took you up on it. Those Nibirun make my fur stand on end! I don't want them anywhere near Elysion...
8278TEXT_BANOMI003_04603_JAMMINGWAY_000_031It would be nice if we could cure them of their ennui, of course, but I cannot see how.
8379TEXT_BANOMI003_04603_N7000_000_032<whirr> The Nibirun are the last dead civilization with sufficient data for replication. Should it prove impossible to turn them into satisfied customers, the probability of further developments on Elysion is low.
8480TEXT_BANOMI003_04603_JAMMINGWAY_000_033Oooh, that is frustrating. Why must they be so much scarier than the other two? I retract my complaints about our soup budget.
8581TEXT_BANOMI003_04603_JAMMINGWAY_000_034Well, what if we invite patrons from another civilization instead? The Ea, for instance.
8682TEXT_BANOMI003_04603_JAMMINGWAY_100_034There is no reason we have to build <Emphasis>all</Emphasis> of our own customers, and they seem rather thoughtful. At the very least, it would make good practice in philosophical debate.
8783TEXT_BANOMI003_04603_N7000_000_035This unit cannot guarantee that any amount of practice would prepare you to treat with the Nibirun. However, it agrees that inviting local life-forms to the Last Dregs would be good for business.
8884TEXT_BANOMI003_04603_JAMMINGWAY_000_038I probably should have asked beforehand, but do the Ea have mouths? That seems a rather important detail in this context...
8985TEXT_BANOMI003_04603_N7000_000_039Current objective: convince prospective Ea patrons of the desirability of Last Dregs sustenance.
9086TEXT_BANOMI003_04603_JAMMINGWAY_100_039We'll search for potential customers in this vicinity. Can you ask around at the scary stone circle where everyone stares at the sky? Thanks in advance!
9187TEXT_BANOMI003_04603_N7000_000_040Searching for key promotional features... <clunk> This unit regrets not installing marketing modules.
9288TEXT_BANOMI003_04603_JAMMINGWAY_000_041Come now─good food, new friends, and a hopeful ambience are <Emphasis>obviously</Emphasis> our selling points!
9389TEXT_BANOMI003_04603_EAOMIA_000_042The corporeal beings derive meaning from patronizing this “café,” you say? Felicitations.
9490TEXT_BANOMI003_04603_EAOMIA_000_043Personally, I have long since parted from such material concerns in favor of staring contemplatively into the abyss. To begin chasing hopes and dreams now would be to betray my very principles.
9591TEXT_BANOMI003_04603_EAOMIA_100_043If it is any comfort in your frivolous pursuits, know that I, too, likely once sought meaning─though I can no longer recall such a time. Now, if you will excuse me, there is much staring to be done.
9692TEXT_BANOMI003_04603_EAOMIB_000_044A venue for replenishment and discourse, you say? We once visited similar establishments. They are memorialized today through the existence of our “restaurant,” where we traditionalists gather to restore our aether and vent our petty miseries upon one another.
9793TEXT_BANOMI003_04603_EAOMIB_000_045Your civilization is young, so perhaps you do not yet understand that one such location is more than enough. Even the most transcendent minds can only withstand so much vacuous discourse...
9894TEXT_BANOMI003_04603_EAOMIB_100_045Further details of our restaurant's historical counterparts have been lost to the inexorable flow of time, so they cannot have been terribly important.
9995TEXT_BANOMI003_04603_JAMMINGWAY_000_050Ugh... Must they all be so condescending?
10096TEXT_BANOMI003_04603_N7000_000_051What is your report, <Split(<Highlight>ObjectParameter(1)</Highlight>, ,1)/>?
10197TEXT_BANOMI003_04603_JAMMINGWAY_000_052One would think they could at least show a bit of respect to you, of all people! Out of self-preservation, if naught else...
10298TEXT_BANOMI003_04603_N7000_000_053<whirr> The probability of further developments on Elysion is now infinitesimal.
10399TEXT_BANOMI003_04603_JAMMINGWAY_000_054No─I refuse to give up. Their terrible attitudes are all the more reason to make them see the light!
104100TEXT_BANOMI003_04603_JAMMINGWAY_000_055Between the three of us, we <Emphasis>will</Emphasis> get them to enjoy themselves!
105101TEXT_BANOMI003_04603_N7000_000_056...Implicit threat acknowledged. Initializing joint operation protocols.
106102TEXT_BANOMI003_04603_N7000_100_057However, this unit also must acknowledge the non-zero probability of failure. In such a scenario, the odds of ever securing the patronage of the Ea and Nibirun must be revised to “hopeless.” Projections indicate that the business may not survive this outcome.
107103TEXT_BANOMI003_04603_JAMMINGWAY_000_057You're as bad as they are sometimes, do you know that?
108104TEXT_BANOMI003_04603_JAMMINGWAY_000_058<Split(<Highlight>ObjectParameter(1)</Highlight>, ,1)/>, you mentioned that the Ea once offered you food, did you not?
109105TEXT_BANOMI003_04603_JAMMINGWAY_000_059So they don't consider themselves beyond the concept of repast. There must be a way to build on that to make them understand...
110106TEXT_BANOMI003_04603_JAMMINGWAY_000_070The moment of truth...
111107TEXT_BANOMI003_04603_N7000_000_071This unit will attempt to analyze Ea thought patterns for vulnerabilities.
112108TEXT_BANOMI003_04603_NIBIRAENOMI_000_072Indeed, why seek more than these malformed stelae? To those approaching the infinite, such an abode is enough.
113109TEXT_BANOMI003_04603_EAOMIA_000_073You interrupt my staring once again. Curious. Is this a physical compulsion?
114110TEXT_BANOMI003_04603_JAMMINGWAY_000_074Er, no. We're simply seeking an enlightened opinion. You seem very...focused, so surely none would be better suited to answer a few questions.
115111TEXT_BANOMI003_04603_EAOMIA_000_075...I suppose that would be within the bounds of my principles─and as time is inherently meaningless, you will not cost me what might otherwise have mattered. Pray wait a moment, and I will see if other rationally minded individuals are interested in this diversion.
116112TEXT_BANOMI003_04603_JAMMINGWAY_000_076Huzzah! I leave the debating to you, <Split(<Highlight>ObjectParameter(1)</Highlight>, ,1)/>─see if you can stimulate their inquiring minds enough to draw them to the café!
117113TEXT_BANOMI003_04603_SYSTEM_000_077Objective: Choose the appropriate phrases to generate interest in the Last Dregs.
118114TEXT_BANOMI003_04603_SYSTEM_000_078As the resulting pontification may take several minutes, you may wish to cancel any pending Duty Finder registrations.
119115TEXT_BANOMI003_04603_Q2_000_000Attempt to stimulate the Ea?
120116TEXT_BANOMI003_04603_EAOMIA_000_079Truly, there is naught like a rousing examination to take one's mind off the ceaseless torment of existence. Should we start with three hundred fifty thousand, one hundred and seventy-three questions or so? As is customary.
121117TEXT_BANOMI003_04603_JAMMINGWAY_000_080Three hundred and fifty <Emphasis>thousand</Emphasis>!? I was thinking more in the neighborhood of three...
122118TEXT_BANOMI003_04603_EAOMIA_000_081...I see that in my cognitive agitation, I neglected to account for your base intellects. Carry on with your paltry queries, then.
123119TEXT_BANOMI003_04603_Q3_000_000What will you ask?
124120TEXT_BANOMI003_04603_A3_000_001Do you enjoy a good meal?
125121TEXT_BANOMI003_04603_A3_000_002Do you have an interest in gustatory sensations?
126122TEXT_BANOMI003_04603_EAOMIA_000_083Quite. Many traditionalists consume sustenance, and I partake in the occasional absorption of quality aether at the restaurant myself.
127123TEXT_BANOMI003_04603_EAOMIB_000_084A transparent line of inquiry. We have little need of another restaurant─I told you as much already.
128124TEXT_BANOMI003_04603_JAMMINGWAY_000_085Oh dear... I fear you misunderstand what we mean by the term! The food at the Last Dregs offers an entirely different experience than aetherial absorption, I assure you.
129125TEXT_BANOMI003_04603_N7000_000_086This unit fears the question may have been excessively simplistic. Data on the Ea indicates a clear preference for mental stimulation via theoretical concepts.
130126TEXT_BANOMI003_04603_EAOMIA_000_087We long ago abandoned the pursuit of gustatory sensations. Though we yet consume aether to sustain ourselves, we do not experience any particular sensation beyond the satiation of hunger.
131127TEXT_BANOMI003_04603_EAOMIB_000_088That is perfectly sufficient. Though I am curious─you indicated that many beings gather to consume sustenance at your “café.” Do these beings experience gustatory sensations in unison? Does this not confuse and upset them?
132128TEXT_BANOMI003_04603_JAMMINGWAY_000_089Quite the opposite! Taste is key to customer satisfaction─and our customers are very satisfied, I assure you.
133129TEXT_BANOMI003_04603_N7000_100_090<whirr> Curiosity detected. This unit concludes that your question piqued their interest.
134130TEXT_BANOMI003_04603_EAOMIA_100_091The diminutive being suggests that gustatory sensations are a primary consideration for your establishment. Biologically, however, these are naught more than a secondary mechanism to prevent primitive organisms from starving to death. Explain this contradiction.
135131TEXT_BANOMI003_04603_Q4_000_000What will you say?
136132TEXT_BANOMI003_04603_A4_000_001Biology is not the only determinant of a good life, you know.
137133TEXT_BANOMI003_04603_A4_000_002Perhaps to truly comprehend our argument requires tasting for yourselves...
138134TEXT_BANOMI003_04603_EAOMIA_100_093Is it your contention that regardless of their evolutionary purpose, gustatory sensations provide intangible─perhaps psychological or spiritual─benefits? Intriguing...
139135TEXT_BANOMI003_04603_EAOMIB_100_094...But ultimately unconvincing, if your aim remains to entice us to your “café.” The perception of sustenance is necessarily determined by the nature of one's gustatory and olfactory organs, so to assume that all beings would experience the same positive outcomes is preposterous.
140136TEXT_BANOMI003_04603_JAMMINGWAY_100_095That is true. Nevertheless...
141137TEXT_BANOMI003_04603_N7000_100_096Intellectual stimulation is present, but curiosity levels are not yet critical. This unit proposes additional discourse.
142138TEXT_BANOMI003_04603_EAOMIA_100_097...Perhaps. It is conceivable that, having dispensed with our corporeal vessels, a prolonged absence of sensations experienced by way of the nervous system has limited our imaginations to a degree.
143139TEXT_BANOMI003_04603_EAOMIB_100_098If only we had possessed the forethought to record our gustatory perceptions for posterity... An unfortunate oversight, to be certain.
144140TEXT_BANOMI003_04603_JAMMINGWAY_100_099Yet not an insurmountable one! If you were to visit the Last Dregs, we could help you reclaim some of the knowledge that was lost.
145141TEXT_BANOMI003_04603_N7000_100_100<whirr> Enticement detected... This unit proposes following this conversational trajectory to its natural terminus.
146142TEXT_BANOMI003_04603_EAOMIA_000_101Though I acknowledge that there is some logic to your argument, we are perhaps at an impasse, given our forms' lack of physicality. Nevertheless, I am curious to know what manner of “taste” you would present us with, had we gustatory organs.
147143TEXT_BANOMI003_04603_Q5_000_000What will you say?
148144TEXT_BANOMI003_04603_A5_000_001The best taste in all of Ultima Thule─nay, the universe!
149145TEXT_BANOMI003_04603_A5_000_002A taste of your former lives as corporeal beings, perhaps.
150146TEXT_BANOMI003_04603_EAOMIA_100_103A disappointing─though unsurprising─suggestion. Perhaps your intellect simply lacks the capacity to understand that physical perceptions are subjective and therefore fallible...
151147TEXT_BANOMI003_04603_EAOMIB_100_104Even allowing for the possibility of a “best taste” regardless of culture and individual gustatory perception, I am unconvinced of the benefit of this knowledge. If we longed for ultimately meaningless physical experiences, we would not have done away with our corporeal forms.
152148TEXT_BANOMI003_04603_JAMMINGWAY_100_105But you do acknowledge the <Emphasis>existence</Emphasis> of meaningful experiences. What do you long for, then?
153149TEXT_BANOMI003_04603_N7000_100_106Based on past data, this unit suggests that altering the menu to suit the civilization in question would be prudent.
154150TEXT_BANOMI003_04603_EAOMIA_100_107Indeed, it is rational to assume that as corporeal beings with unique gustatory organs, we too once found certain sensations particularly stimulating.
155151TEXT_BANOMI003_04603_EAOMIB_100_108If your “café” is capable of providing knowledge of such long-lost sensations, we would welcome the experience.
156152TEXT_BANOMI003_04603_JAMMINGWAY_100_109If anyone can do it, we can! We've served a variety of civilizations already─with great success, I might add.
157153TEXT_BANOMI003_04603_N7000_100_110<whirr> Operational success imminent. Allied units must remain engaging for critical final phase.
158154TEXT_BANOMI003_04603_EAOMIA_000_111The preparation of historically accurate sustenance will be no simple task, yet the hirsute being insists on accomplishing it. Is this compulsion intrinsically or extrinsically motivated?
159155TEXT_BANOMI003_04603_Q6_000_000What will you say?
160156TEXT_BANOMI003_04603_A6_000_001My journal does suggest that making you happy will help progress my current quest...
161157TEXT_BANOMI003_04603_A6_000_002It is our deepest and most heartfelt desire to see hope restored to the universe.
162158TEXT_BANOMI003_04603_EAOMIA_000_113...And increases in customer satisfaction lead to positive changes in the nearby dynamis? How...mathematically sound.
163159TEXT_BANOMI003_04603_EAOMIB_000_114I see now that this was all a game to you. That is fair enough, given my own reasons for participation...yet this behavior is quite unlike the primitive organic beings of our records. I grow increasingly uncertain of your ability to fulfill our desires.
164160TEXT_BANOMI003_04603_JAMMINGWAY_000_115Our wish to recreate the Ea's favorite flavors is extremely organic, I swear! Primitive, even!
165161TEXT_BANOMI003_04603_N7000_000_116Though the Ea delight in logical argument, acknowledgement of their place as gears in an unfeeling machine of progress has distressed them. Analysis indicates their expectations of allied units have been dampened by this display of cold rationality.
166162TEXT_BANOMI003_04603_EAOMIA_000_117How very primitive of you! Very well, I am convinced that your establishment will offer an authentic experience of the shackles of the flesh.
167163TEXT_BANOMI003_04603_EAOMIB_000_118“Heartfelt,” it says! How charmingly irrational. Nary a mention of the tangible impact our hope would have on the surrounding dynamis.
168164TEXT_BANOMI003_04603_JAMMINGWAY_000_119There are those too, of course─but most of all, what we want is for our patrons to enjoy themselves!
169165TEXT_BANOMI003_04603_N7000_000_120<whirr> This unit does not disagree with the assessment of organic life-forms as “primitive,” though it is rich in irony given the irrationality on display at present.

173169TEXT_BANOMI003_04603_EAOMIA_000_124...We see that you indeed had few questions. When may we partake in sensory experiences?
174170TEXT_BANOMI003_04603_JAMMINGWAY_000_125Well, first we will need to prepare a full course for gustatory experimentation...
175171TEXT_BANOMI003_04603_EAOMIB_000_127Experimentation, you say! That sounds most agreeable.
176172TEXT_BANOMI003_04603_N7000_000_128If this unit may suggest it, <Split(<Highlight>ObjectParameter(1)</Highlight>, ,1)/>'s flesh would make a suitable medium.

180176TEXT_BANOMI003_04603_JAMMINGWAY_000_132It is unclear, at present, what their people may have eaten in their corporeal days, but we can begin by finding out what sort of tastes they enjoy, then refine the recipe from there.
181177TEXT_BANOMI003_04603_JAMMINGWAY_000_133Regardless, we shall need to fire up the ovens immediately! Last I checked our inventory, the kitchens are well stocked with vegetables, fish, and Sharlayan cookbooks...
182178TEXT_BANOMI003_04603_N7000_000_134The probability that the Ea's historical diet was identical to that of the life-forms of Etheirys is astronomically low. This unit proposes incorporating ingredients from other worlds as well.
183179TEXT_BANOMI003_04603_N7000_000_135Scanning “flavorsome” category for ingredient data...
184180TEXT_BANOMI003_04603_N7000_000_136<ping> Calcite deposits near the ship <Emphasis>Ragnarok</Emphasis> may contain mineral content suitable for use as an additive. Data indicates that organic life-forms love additives.
185181TEXT_BANOMI003_04603_N7000_000_137<ping> Flora near the vitrified fort may contain content suitable for use as “seasoning.” Data indicates that organic life-forms love seasonings.
186182TEXT_BANOMI003_04603_N7000_000_138<ping> An aquatic life-form similar to Etheirys's tuna can be found in this very settlement. Data indicates that this creature is particularly pungent and may be useful in stocks.
187183TEXT_BANOMI003_04603_N7000_000_139This unit once again recommends the highly affordable gold salmon roe available in A-4 Research as materiel for this operation.
188184TEXT_BANOMI003_04603_JAMMINGWAY_000_140Don't hesitate to taste test in the field!
189185TEXT_BANOMI003_04603_N7000_000_142Remaining allied units should proceed to the Last Dregs for recipe analysis. This unit will answer any further customer questions.
190186TEXT_BANOMI003_04603_JAMMINGWAY_000_150Don't worry─I'm certain that N-7000 would speak up if you were about to eat anything that might be lethal.

203199TEXT_BANOMI003_04603_SYSTEM_000_159The pasta is not unlike that of Etheirys, although the otherworldly flavor adds a tang of complexity. As for the Ea...surely any gluten-tolerant life-form enjoys a massive bowl of carbohydrates?
204200TEXT_BANOMI003_04603_SYSTEM_000_160You are struck with a sudden certainty that Jammingway either borrowed or stole this recipe from the Last Stand, although the locally sourced flavoring adds an unexpected spiciness to the medium-rare meat inside. Your tongue is now tingly.
205201TEXT_BANOMI003_04603_SYSTEM_000_161Was that fish staring into your soul just now? Hopefully not. In any case, its pallid flesh must have thoroughly absorbed the added alien flavor. You certainly tasted...something.

208204TEXT_BANOMI003_04603_EAOMIA_000_164Thank you for helpfully categorizing each as “sweet,” “salty,” “sour,” “bitter,” or “savory”─I fear I am quite overcome by the medley.
209205TEXT_BANOMI003_04603_EAOMIA_000_165It is impossible to say whether this sensory assault is identical to what I might have once felt when consuming sustenance...yet it is a useful reference to ruminate upon nevertheless.
210206TEXT_BANOMI003_04603_JAMMINGWAY_000_166Then it was well worth the effort, in my book!
211207TEXT_BANOMI003_04603_JAMMINGWAY_000_167Tell me, did any of the dishes strike you as particularly enjoyable?
212208TEXT_BANOMI003_04603_EAOMIB_000_168The first stimulated me in a most pleasing fashion. How was this flavor derived?
213209TEXT_BANOMI003_04603_JAMMINGWAY_000_169Ah, that was flavored with local ingredients harvested by <Split(<Highlight>ObjectParameter(1)</Highlight>, ,1)/>, garnished with powdered miracle shrimp─a type of crustacean the Grebuloffs are farming in Elysion.
214210TEXT_BANOMI003_04603_EAOMIB_000_170Pulverized crustaceans! The nature of gustatory sensations is inscrutable indeed...
215211TEXT_BANOMI003_04603_EAOMIA_000_171That we found these ones pleasing perhaps indicates that we, too, once consumed mutilated decapods.
216212TEXT_BANOMI003_04603_EAOMIA_000_172I cannot imagine why we would have left that behind. I am grateful to have even simulated the experience.
217213TEXT_BANOMI003_04603_JAMMINGWAY_000_173...And there we have it. Do you think this will be enough to bring about more changes to Elysion?
218214TEXT_BANOMI003_04603_N7000_000_174Inconclusive. This unit proposes that allied units ascend to scan for signs of change.
219215TEXT_BANOMI003_04603_Q8_000_000Travel to A-4 Research?
220216TEXT_BANOMI003_04603_JAMMINGWAY_000_176I'm quite curious about what changes to the terrain might come of the Ea's emotions. As a people, they do tend toward the abstract...
221217TEXT_BANOMI003_04603_N7000_000_175Stigma-4 confirms that alterations have occurred. Let us proceed with the scan.
222218TEXT_BANOMI003_04603_JAMMINGWAY_000_090These creatures certainly weren't here before...but what are they? They put me in mind of Etheirys's jellyfish.
223219TEXT_BANOMI003_04603_N7000_000_091<whirr> No results found in database. Furthermore, these life-forms differ from the simulations in Ultima Thule on a molecular level.
224220TEXT_BANOMI003_04603_JAMMINGWAY_000_092You mean...a new species has been born? Here?
225221TEXT_BANOMI003_04603_N7000_000_093Is it so illogical? Elysion's climate is suitable for the growth of complex vegetation, and a significant portion of its surface is occupied by sea. Many life-forms have arisen from similar environments.
226222TEXT_BANOMI003_04603_N7000_000_094This unit would venture that under these conditions, the Ea's yearning for a corporeal past were sufficient to cause dynamis to coalesce as organic life.

230226TEXT_BANOMI003_04603_EAOMIA_000_098Like unto newborn babes...or so I assume. Eons have passed since we Ea have held a child.
231227TEXT_BANOMI003_04603_EAOMIB_000_099Yet is it not conceivable that some part of us remembers? If these creatures arose from our fondness for the past...
232228TEXT_BANOMI003_04603_EAOMIA_000_100...They may indeed be the nascent forms mentioned in our ancient records.
233229TEXT_BANOMI003_04603_JAMMINGWAY_000_101I do see a certain resemblance. Would you like to give these little ones a name, then?
234230TEXT_BANOMI003_04603_EAOMIB_100_102We lost the meaning to our names long ago, leaving us only the simple phonemic system we now employ for individuals. The suggestion that we might impart the significance of these children via nomenclature is depressingly ludicrous.
235231TEXT_BANOMI003_04603_EAOMIB_100_103...Nevertheless, we shall call them “Miw Miisv.” A peculiar name to share, perhaps, but one we may find the meaning in together.
236232TEXT_BANOMI003_04603_JAMMINGWAY_100_104I cannot spell that to save my life, but it sounds lovely!
237233TEXT_BANOMI003_04603_BANOMIA_000_102I should like to remain with the Miw Miisv for a time. They doubtless know much of gustatory sensation and other such facets of corporeality.

239235TEXT_BANOMI003_04603_SYSTEM_000_104New life has arisen from the Ea's longing. Nurture and protect the Miw Miisv, for they have much to share.
240236TEXT_BANOMI003_04603_SYSTEM_000_105There is yet room for Elysion to grow and change. What other hopes will the power of dynamis bring to life?
241237TEXT_BANOMI003_04603_JAMMINGWAY_000_200It will be a great deal more difficult to focus with those creatures about... They're so wibbly-wobbly!

244240TEXT_BANOMI003_04603_N7000_000_205Though it is probable that the Miw Miisv share data with the Ea's genetic memory, possibilities for their development are infinite. This differentiates them from other dynamis-based life-forms.
