40TEXT_KINGME109_04940_SEQ_00Otis is pleased with the meat you have brought him.
51TEXT_KINGME109_04940_SEQ_01Having taken receipt of your meat, Otis next asks you to procure kindling electrope. To that end, you head over to the houses nearby to gather pieces of electrope, some of which should be the variety you require.
62TEXT_KINGME109_04940_SEQ_02After a rummage through the ruins, you manage to gather a decent amount of electrope pieces. As per Otis's instructions, you bear them to Gulool Ja for identification.
73TEXT_KINGME109_04940_SEQ_03As you watch on, Gulool Ja examines the electrope pieces and soon identifies the one you require. Having duly finished your task, you go to report to Otis.
84TEXT_KINGME109_04940_SEQ_04With the preparations complete, Otis cooks up the promised repast and serves it up for all to enjoy. As you relax afterwards, your bellies full of delicious stew, Wuk Lamat has a candid conversation with Gulool Ja and tells him what it means to be family. At Alisaie's urging, Otis then shares with you his tale. Centuries ago, before lightning had changed the world, he was an ordinary man who served as a knight of Alexandria. When the great calamity struck, the king and queen passed away, and their only daughter the princess was taken by illness not long after ascending the throne. Through the power of electrope, however, her soul and memories were preserved, and she was spared eternal death. This procedure was made possible by none other than Otis, who volunteered as a test subject, resulting in his transformation into the machine he is now. Those that are thus recreated from the memories of the departed are known as the Endless, and to everyone's shock, it is revealed that Sphene was the first of them─the queen who was brought back to life.
95TEXT_KINGME109_04940_SEQ_05As you and your companions struggle to process the revelation of Sphene's true nature, questions arise over whether Cahciua and her people had been aware of this fact. For all that you have learned, it seems there is still much and more that you do not know...

5248TEXT_KINGME109_04940_ALISAIE_000_000You haven't finished yet, right? That would be too fast, even for you!
5349TEXT_KINGME109_04940_OTIS_000_001Once Alisaie brings her portion, we shall have a glorious bounty to satisfy growing younglings like yourselves!
5450TEXT_KINGME109_04940_OTIS_000_002Indeed, I expect there will be ample leftovers to share with the good folk of the driftdowns. They always appreciate a warm meal.
5551TEXT_KINGME109_04940_OTIS_000_003Now, seeing as you have completed your task so quickly, I have another request to make of you. We've exhausted our supplies of kindling electrope, and I should be grateful if you could search the houses yonder for more.
5652TEXT_KINGME109_04940_OTIS_000_004In the old kingdom, electrope rations were issued to each citizen. While small, fragments may still be found here and there.
5753TEXT_KINGME109_04940_OTIS_000_005If you can obtain five pieces, say, at least one ought to be what we require─that is, the kind that converts lightning to fire. Gulool Ja can identify them by their circuitry, so pray take them to him.
5854TEXT_KINGME109_04940_OTIS_000_006The boy has become quite deft at discerning electrope types, and in a very short time, I might add. Now, off you go, and happy foraging!
5955TEXT_KINGME109_04940_OTIS_000_010Of late, my arms and legs have grown somewhat creaky and uncooperative. A few centuries will do that even to the best of us, I suppose! Hahaha!
6056TEXT_KINGME109_04940_OTIS_000_020The others have returned as well. What a blessedly lively day this has become!
6157TEXT_KINGME109_04940_WUKLAMAT_000_021We've got the requested vegetables, along with a few extra bits! I have to say, all this running around's made me hungry...
6258TEXT_KINGME109_04940_ALISAIE_000_022Hmph, I dared to think I had won this time, but it turns out you were already off doing another task.
6359TEXT_KINGME109_04940_GULOOLJA_000_030Otis says you have electrope for me?
6460TEXT_KINGME109_04940_GULOOLJA_000_031Wow, you found a lot!
6561TEXT_KINGME109_04940_GULOOLJA_000_032Let's see... This one creates wind, this one is for water...
6662TEXT_KINGME109_04940_ALISAIE_000_033You can tell just like that? I'm impressed.
6763TEXT_KINGME109_04940_WUKLAMAT_000_034Clever, isn't he? I'll bet he gets it from his father...
6864TEXT_KINGME109_04940_GULOOLJA_000_035Ah, this is it! This converts to fire!
6965TEXT_KINGME109_04940_GULOOLJA_000_036It's absorbed lots of lightning, so we should be able to kindle a flame easily.
7066TEXT_KINGME109_04940_GULOOLJA_000_037Thank you, <Split(<Highlight>ObjectParameter(1)</Highlight>, ,1)/>!
7167TEXT_KINGME109_04940_WUKLAMAT_000_040Hehe... It makes me happy to see Gulool Ja happy.
7268TEXT_KINGME109_04940_GULOOLJA_000_041Wuk Lamat could carry lots of vegetables at once. She's really strong!
7369TEXT_KINGME109_04940_ALISAIE_000_042With apologies to Erenville and Krile, let's enjoy the meal!
7470TEXT_KINGME109_04940_OTIS_000_045Thanks to your kind assistance, we have everything we need for our repast.
7571TEXT_KINGME109_04940_OTIS_000_046You have done your part, and now I shall do mine. I bid you relax, my friends─the meal will soon be served!
7672TEXT_KINGME109_04940_WUKLAMAT_000_050This is the kind of thing families do, Gulool Ja. We have meals together and talk about what's on our minds.
7773TEXT_KINGME109_04940_GULOOLJA_000_051So you ate with your father?
7874TEXT_KINGME109_04940_WUKLAMAT_000_052Yes, with them and my brothers. It was mostly the Head of Resolve and I doing the talking, though. Koana and the Head of Reason occasionally joined in, and Zoraal Ja...spoke when he was spoken to.
7975TEXT_KINGME109_04940_GULOOLJA_000_053You said that you have two papas. Does that mean one is yours, and the other is my father's?
8076TEXT_KINGME109_04940_WUKLAMAT_000_054No, no, both are our father. He's what people call blessed siblings─a Mamool Ja with two heads.
8177TEXT_KINGME109_04940_WUKLAMAT_000_055Zoraal Ja is his trueborn child, while Koana and I were adopted and don't share the same blood.
8278TEXT_KINGME109_04940_WUKLAMAT_000_056But that doesn't make us any less a family. What matters is that our hearts are connected. The Head of Resolve taught me that.
8379TEXT_KINGME109_04940_GULOOLJA_000_057Family...
8480TEXT_KINGME109_04940_GULOOLJA_000_058Do you have someone like that too? A person you think is family, even though you don't share the same blood.
8581TEXT_KINGME109_04940_ALISAIE_000_059That's...a good question.
8682TEXT_KINGME109_04940_ALISAIE_000_060What about you?
8783TEXT_KINGME109_04940_Q1_000_061What will you say?
8884TEXT_KINGME109_04940_A1_000_062I do, and they're very dear to me.
8985TEXT_KINGME109_04940_A1_000_063I'm something of a lone wolf.
9086TEXT_KINGME109_04940_A1_000_064...
9187TEXT_KINGME109_04940_GULOOLJA_000_065I'd like to meet them one day.
9288TEXT_KINGME109_04940_GULOOLJA_000_066You must be strong. I don't think I could be alone like that for long.
9389TEXT_KINGME109_04940_GULOOLJA_000_067I-I'm sorry if I said something wrong...
9490TEXT_KINGME109_04940_ALISAIE_000_068
9591TEXT_KINGME109_04940_WUKLAMAT_000_069So, Gulool Ja. I'm hoping that we could be family, you and I.
9692TEXT_KINGME109_04940_WUKLAMAT_000_070Won't you tell me about yourself?
9793TEXT_KINGME109_04940_GULOOLJA_000_071You...really want to know about me?
9894TEXT_KINGME109_04940_WUKLAMAT_000_072I do. I want to know all about you. The things you love, the things you hate─anything and everything.
9995TEXT_KINGME109_04940_GULOOLJA_000_073I want to know all about you too!
10096TEXT_KINGME109_04940_ALISAIE_000_074That reminds me, we were hoping to hear your story too, Otis.
10197TEXT_KINGME109_04940_OTIS_000_075As you wish. Be forewarned that mine is a tale that will be long in recounting.
10298TEXT_KINGME109_04940_OTIS_000_076It was before lightning had altered the world that I was appointed lord captain of the royal knights.
10399TEXT_KINGME109_04940_WUKLAMAT_000_077We're talking hundreds of years prior to the calamity, right?
104100TEXT_KINGME109_04940_OTIS_000_078Indeed. Earlier still than when I assumed this mechanical form─four hundred and fifty-four years ago, to be precise.
105101TEXT_KINGME109_04940_ALISAIE_000_079Then...you used to be a normal person?
106102TEXT_KINGME109_04940_OTIS_000_080Oh yes. I was once flesh and blood, like you, and I proudly served as a knight of Alexandria.
107103TEXT_KINGME109_04940_WUKLAMAT_000_081So rather than a machine that behaves like a person, you were─<Emphasis>are</Emphasis> an actual person? How is this possible?
108104TEXT_KINGME109_04940_OTIS_000_082'Tis only natural that you are confused. Hear my tale to the end, and all shall become clear.
109105TEXT_KINGME109_04940_OTIS_000_083The foremost duty of the royal knights was the protection of the royal family. In my time, that was Their Majesties the King and Queen, and their only child, Her Highness the Princess.
110106TEXT_KINGME109_04940_OTIS_000_084By then, every nation of our star was embroiled in some manner of conflict over electrope. Thus was our kingdom drawn into a war with its neighbor.
111107TEXT_KINGME109_04940_OTIS_000_085That war was the catalyst for the great calamity that altered the environment. Countless countrymen lost their lives amidst the chaos, the king and queen among them.
112108TEXT_KINGME109_04940_OTIS_000_086For a blessing, we were able to protect the princess, who then rose to the occasion and brought hope to her people in those trying times. So kind-hearted was our young queen that, at her behest, we even took in refugees from the enemy nation.
113109TEXT_KINGME109_04940_OTIS_000_087But sadly, her reign was cut short. Like many others, her body had been ravaged by lightning, and one day she collapsed and passed away...
114110TEXT_KINGME109_04940_ALISAIE_000_088How tragic...
115111TEXT_KINGME109_04940_OTIS_000_089Aye... Nary was there a citizen whose eyes remained dry, and many a moon was spent constructing a great tomb worthy of her memory.
116112TEXT_KINGME109_04940_OTIS_000_090Yet I clung to hope still. For while Her Majesty was on her deathbed, the kingdom's finest scientists had successfully extracted her soul.
117113TEXT_KINGME109_04940_WUKLAMAT_000_091Did we hear that right? <Emphasis>Extracted</Emphasis> her soul?
118114TEXT_KINGME109_04940_OTIS_000_092Our flesh may wither and die. But so long as we are remembered, we may live on.
119115TEXT_KINGME109_04940_OTIS_000_093This age-old belief had always comforted our people. But as casualties mounted in the wake of the calamity, we sought to make it into reality through the power of electrope.
120116TEXT_KINGME109_04940_OTIS_000_094In time, we succeeded in developing the means to preserve the soul, and it was used to spare the queen eternal death.
121117TEXT_KINGME109_04940_OTIS_000_095Yet it wasn't enough to simply prevent the soul's departure. For the ultimate goal was to recreate a person as they were in life, and this required that their memories be further extracted from their soul.
122118TEXT_KINGME109_04940_OTIS_000_096It took many more years of research to make this possible, by which time I had become a grey old man. With my days numbered, I did not hesitate to volunteer myself as a test subject for the procedure.
123119TEXT_KINGME109_04940_OTIS_000_097So it was that I attained this vessel.
124120TEXT_KINGME109_04940_OTIS_000_098And by my successful rebirth, I paved the way for those who are recreated from the memories of the departed.
125121TEXT_KINGME109_04940_OTIS_000_099The Endless, they are called.
126122TEXT_KINGME109_04940_ALISAIE_000_100If your tale is true, then the queen that your people brought back to life...
127123TEXT_KINGME109_04940_Q2_000_101What will you say?
128124TEXT_KINGME109_04940_A2_000_102It wouldn't be Sphene, would it?
129125TEXT_KINGME109_04940_A2_000_103I think we know who it is.
130126TEXT_KINGME109_04940_OTIS_000_104Oho, so you know Her Majesty as well!
131127TEXT_KINGME109_04940_OTIS_000_105My description of her boundless kindness must have paled in comparison to what you no doubt felt in her presence.
132128TEXT_KINGME109_04940_OTIS_000_106I haven't met her myself, I confess. Not since assuming my current form. Wouldn't want to frighten the living daylights out of her!
133129TEXT_KINGME109_04940_OTIS_000_107Hahaha!
134130TEXT_KINGME109_04940_OTIS_000_110I have seen my queen from afar many times. But I've not the courage to approach her...
135131TEXT_KINGME109_04940_OTIS_000_111This isn't out of cowardice, mind you, but rather...concern. Yes, concern that I would cause Her Majesty undue distress!
136132TEXT_KINGME109_04940_GULOOLJA_000_115Otis has told me the tale before.
137133TEXT_KINGME109_04940_ALISAIE_000_120Does this mean the queen of Alexandria isn't actually a person like you and me...?
138134TEXT_KINGME109_04940_WUKLAMAT_000_130The Endless... So all this time, Sphene wasn't alive?
139135TEXT_KINGME109_04940_OTIS_000_131She lives yet she does not. 'Tis admittedly a difficult distinction to make.
140136TEXT_KINGME109_04940_OTIS_000_132Having inherited the memories of a departed soul, an Endless feels, thinks, and acts precisely as that person would.
141137TEXT_KINGME109_04940_OTIS_000_133In that sense, I believe they are alive.
142138TEXT_KINGME109_04940_ALISAIE_000_134The Alexandrians know about this, right? It can't have gone unnoticed that Sphene is perpetually youthful.
143139TEXT_KINGME109_04940_GULOOLJA_000_135No one really knows about the Endless. People who wear regulators don't even think about death.
144140TEXT_KINGME109_04940_GULOOLJA_000_136Everyone sees that the queen doesn't change, but they just accept it.
145141TEXT_KINGME109_04940_GULOOLJA_000_137To them, it's just who she is.
146142TEXT_KINGME109_04940_Q1_000_000What will you say?
147143TEXT_KINGME109_04940_A1_000_001Are there Endless apart from yourselves?
148144TEXT_KINGME109_04940_A1_000_002Are the people at Everkeep Endless too?
149145TEXT_KINGME109_04940_OTIS_000_139While there should be as many Endless as those who have died, I believe they are limited in where they can exist. Queen Sphene is unique in her ability to appear before you.
150146TEXT_KINGME109_04940_OTIS_000_140Strictly speaking, I myself am not an Endless. They are created using memories extracted from a soul, but my entire soul was placed inside a machine.
151147TEXT_KINGME109_04940_WUKLAMAT_000_141Being inside a machine makes you different...how?
152148TEXT_KINGME109_04940_OTIS_000_142While I do not understand the finer points, my life is bound to this vessel. If it breaks down, then it would be over for me, much like a being of flesh and blood. Hardly an endless, unchanging life, I'm sure you'll agree!
153149TEXT_KINGME109_04940_ALISAIE_000_143An endless, unchanging life... I can't help but be reminded of the Ea.
154150TEXT_KINGME109_04940_WUKLAMAT_000_144Did Cahciua and the others know about all this?
155151TEXT_KINGME109_04940_ALISAIE_000_145Considering their extensive intelligence gathering, I'd be surprised if they didn't.
156152TEXT_KINGME109_04940_ALISAIE_000_146For now, let's share what we've learned with Krile and Raha. I can't help but have misgivings about this...
