4	0	TEXT_CHRHDB842_04755_SEQ_00	Hildibrand is keen to embark on the next leg of your investigation.
5	1	TEXT_CHRHDB842_04755_SEQ_01	In order to pursue the Case of the Silent Correspondent once more, you prepare to ship off to Sharlayan. Or teleport, as the case may be. Assuming they follow your advice, Hildibrand and the rest of your party should be waiting to meet you near the Confluence.
6	2	TEXT_CHRHDB842_04755_SEQ_02	Despite it being their first time traveling by experimental aetheryte, most of your companions appear to be unaffected by aetherial sickness. Delion is the notable exception, though it is unclear if his suffering is due to some intrinsic quality, or because the gods were feeling capricious. In any event, the editor in chief is determined to push through his nausea, proposing an immediate investigation of the Sharlayans' “underground military facility”─an idea onto which the inspector latches with characteristic enthusiasm. The Hall of Artifice awaits.
7	3	TEXT_CHRHDB842_04755_SEQ_03	Lacking the proper permissions to board the lift, Hildibrand's foray into Labyrinthos appears to be over as soon as it began. It is fortunate, then, that Godbert arrives at this very moment to exert his ambassadorial authority, affording your companions access as part of the Syndicate member's entourage. Next stop: the Archeion.
8	4	TEXT_CHRHDB842_04755_SEQ_04	Your initial inquiries into archived alien starships meet with no success. A custodian does, however, mention having seen a PuPu-like visitor at Meryall Agronomics. With renewed vigor, your party descends to the Medial Circuit with the intention of interviewing the local laborers.
9	5	TEXT_CHRHDB842_04755_SEQ_05	Your in-depth interrogations reveal that an individual resembling PuPu─and not merely another mandragora─did indeed visit the Labyrinthos farm in the company of a decidedly less-alien acquaintance. Hildibrand will wish to corroborate your findings.
10	6	TEXT_CHRHDB842_04755_SEQ_06	The information you extracted matches what the inspector has learned, and you are soon joined by the gleaner responsible for guiding the oddly paired visitors into Labyrinthos. It transpires that one was a Hannish apothecary who, upon giving up on his mercantile endeavors in war-torn Garlemald, came across a wrecked vessel and its unusual pilot stranded in the snow. The gleaner met said apothecary in Thavnair, the man having returned to his homeland with both broken craft and alien occupant in tow. Wishing to offer assistance with repairs, the gleaner then escorted them to Sharlayan─and Thaumazein's famed engineers. Once the vessel was restored, however, the pair departed and have not been seen since. You remain one step behind, but for now it is enough to know that PuPu's friend is very much alive, and likely to be found in the company of the alchemist. With these clues in hand, your party elects to return to Radz–at–Han and continue the search.
11	7	TEXT_CHRHDB842_04755_SEQ_07	Back in Radz–at–Han you are joined by Godbert, who has succeeded in locating a missing family relic. PuPu recognizes the recovered artifact as a device made by Mandervillians─a technologically advanced alien race─and offers to access and present to everyone whatever images may be stored within it. Thus do all gather in a darkened room to view the recording, where you are blindsided by the revelation that Godbrand, the founding lord of House Manderville, was the last surviving member of the starfaring Mandervillians. Manderville weaponry, too, appears to be the product of extraterrestrial innovation. While initially flabbergasted, Hildibrand and Godbert accept their cosmic roots without question, and vow to uphold their ancestor's heartfelt wishes to aid the people of this star. Before returning to his labors, however, Godbert asks that you meet him at the aetheryte plaza, hinting at a gift of some kind...
12	8	TEXT_CHRHDB842_04755_SEQ_08	Before Godbert makes his appearance, Delion approaches you to express contrition at his misjudgment of the Sharlayan people, as the discovery he has devoted readers among the scholars has done much to improve his perception of them. His low opinion of PuPu, on the other hand, has not changed whatsoever, and he bids you stand ready for the moment the alien reveals his true colors. It is then that Godbert arrives to present you with a clockwork version of everyone's favorite little blue man. More than ever, the goldsmith is determined to progress with his weaponsmithing endeavor, and he remains amenable to your expert assistance.

68	64	TEXT_CHRHDB842_04755_DELION_000_035	Rumor has it the Sharlayans' secret agents travel the star in search of “specimens,” which they collect and bring home in service to a confidential research project. Said project is conducted in a huge underground military facility. If we're to find answers, then that's where we need to look.
69	65	TEXT_CHRHDB842_04755_Q2_000_000	What will you say?

72	68	TEXT_CHRHDB842_04755_HILDIBRAND_000_036	These “gleaner” chaps sound like they might know a thing or two. I say we pay them a visit in their little underground base.

88	84	TEXT_CHRHDB842_04755_GODBERT_000_058	I am in search of a certain object─one crucial to the continued refinement of the Manderville weaponry. My investigations lead me to believe it is to be found here, in Labyrinthos.

91	87	TEXT_CHRHDB842_04755_NILZOZO_000_061	Ah, Master Godbert Manderville. The Forum sent word of your impending arrival.
92	88	TEXT_CHRHDB842_04755_NILZOZO_000_062	As a member of the Syndicate, your ambassadorial status affords you an entourage of up to five members. Pray consider their permissions arranged.
93	89	TEXT_CHRHDB842_04755_GODBERT_000_063	I know not your current mission, but for the time being, I suggest you accompany me to the Archeion.
94	90	TEXT_CHRHDB842_04755_DELION_000_070	An underground archive with such an extravagant recreation of an outdoor habitat? What “innocent” purpose could it possibly serve!?

98	94	TEXT_CHRHDB842_04755_KOYOKOYO_000_073	Ah, they have transformed this subterranean environment into one more suited to surface beings. I am reminded of the orbital stations built by my own home star.

134	130	TEXT_CHRHDB842_04755_GLEANER04755_000_136	They certainly were. If you've a moment or three, I'll tell you the whole tale...
135	131	TEXT_CHRHDB842_04755_GLEANER04755_000_137	To begin at the beginning, I was in Thavnair on a procurement mission when I crossed paths with an apothecary and his unusual companion.
136	132	TEXT_CHRHDB842_04755_GLEANER04755_000_138	As I mentioned, the companion was almost your twin in appearance, and the wagon they rode upon bore a damaged vessel the likes of which I'd never seen before.

139	135	TEXT_CHRHDB842_04755_GLEANER04755_000_141	The man was only too happy to share his story. He had, it seemed, quite recklessly plunged into the war-torn lands of Garlemald to sell his wares, reasoning that where there was conflict, there would be a need for medicinal goods.
140	136	TEXT_CHRHDB842_04755_GLEANER04755_100_141	The state of affairs was rather more volatile than he'd anticipated, however, and he was soon forced to abandon his venture.
