40TEXT_VOICEMAN_06001_000010_MONTICHAIGNEAh, I remember you.
51TEXT_VOICEMAN_06001_000020_ALPHINAUDI pray we have not caught you at an inopportune moment. We wanted to offer our thanks for your kind words in the Forum.
62TEXT_VOICEMAN_06001_000030_MONTICHAIGNEWell, I could hardly let that inquisition go unchallenged.
73TEXT_VOICEMAN_06001_000040_MONTICHAIGNEI've always believed that curiosity should be nurtured, not stifled. Thankfully, a majority of my colleagues agreed. A slender majority, aye, but a majority nonetheless.
84TEXT_VOICEMAN_06001_000050_KRILEHad the vote not gone our way, we would be having a very different conversation, if any at all. Though I'd like to think you would have not given up on our cause─I'm told you paid a visit to the annex afterwards?
95TEXT_VOICEMAN_06001_000060_MONTICHAIGNEYes, that's right. I was hoping to speak with the grandchildren of my dearly departed friends Galuf and Louisoix in a less dour setting, but it seems I'd just missed you.
106TEXT_VOICEMAN_06001_000070_MONTICHAIGNEI still can't believe how much you've grown. If only your grandsires could've seen the way you presented yourselves to the Forum. Why, it fair brought a tear to my own eye!
117TEXT_VOICEMAN_06001_000080_MONTICHAIGNEYou must have the patience of a saint, putting up with this lot and their antics─never mind Matoya's prize student.
128TEXT_VOICEMAN_06001_000090_MONTICHAIGNELuckily, I know a thing or two about managing unruly younglings. If you ever need advice, don't hesitate to ask!
139TEXT_VOICEMAN_06001_000100_ALPHINAUDIf I may, there is a rather more pressing matter we wish to discuss. What can you tell us of this “duty” that the Forum must fulfill?
1410TEXT_VOICEMAN_06001_000110_MONTICHAIGNENothing, I'm afraid. Like all humble servants of the Forum, I am sworn to secrecy.
1511TEXT_VOICEMAN_06001_000120_MONTICHAIGNEOr rather, I couldn't tell you if I tried.
1612TEXT_VOICEMAN_06001_000130_MONTICHAIGNEOur duty is of the gravest importance. Furthermore, if the particulars were made public, it would incite widespread panic.
1713TEXT_VOICEMAN_06001_000140_MONTICHAIGNEAs such, those entrusted with this duty have been bound by an enchantment, which prevents us from speaking of such matters without the express permission of the Forum.
1814TEXT_VOICEMAN_06001_000150_ALISAIEHow is that even possible!?
1915TEXT_VOICEMAN_06001_000160_MONTICHAIGNEHahaha... It's been some time since I last gave a lecture. Please, take a seat.
2016TEXT_VOICEMAN_06001_000170_MONTICHAIGNEAhem! We shall begin by reviewing the fundamentals of aetherology.
2117TEXT_VOICEMAN_06001_000180_MONTICHAIGNEThe aether which imbues us with life can be categorized into three forms.
2218TEXT_VOICEMAN_06001_000190_MONTICHAIGNETwo are of the incorporeal sort, the soul and the memory. Can anyone tell me the third?
2319TEXT_VOICEMAN_06001_Q1_000_001_NONE_VOICEWhat will you say?
2420TEXT_VOICEMAN_06001_A1_000_001_NONE_VOICECorporeal aether!
2521TEXT_VOICEMAN_06001_A1_000_002_NONE_VOICEMagic!
2622TEXT_VOICEMAN_06001_A1_000_003_NONE_VOICEUmmm...
2723TEXT_VOICEMAN_06001_000200_MONTICHAIGNEYes, very good!
2824TEXT_VOICEMAN_06001_000210_MONTICHAIGNENot entirely inaccurate, but nor is it the answer I was looking for. That would be “corporeal aether.”
2925TEXT_VOICEMAN_06001_000220_MONTICHAIGNEThe answer is...corporeal aether.
3026TEXT_VOICEMAN_06001_000230_MONTICHAIGNEThis is the form with which the layman is most familiar.
3127TEXT_VOICEMAN_06001_000240_MONTICHAIGNEConsumed by even the simplest of daily activities and replenished by the food and drink that sustain us, this form of aether is in constant flux.
3228TEXT_VOICEMAN_06001_000250_MONTICHAIGNEIn contrast, the aether that comprises the soul is rarely subject to dramatic change. The same can be said for memory, as the two are intrinsically linked.
3329TEXT_VOICEMAN_06001_000260_MONTICHAIGNEPicture the soul as paper, and memories as words written upon it.
3430TEXT_VOICEMAN_06001_000270_MONTICHAIGNENow, what would happen if that paper was doused with ink─the same type of aether as comprises the memories?
3531TEXT_VOICEMAN_06001_000280_ALISAIEIt would blot out everything that was written.
3632TEXT_VOICEMAN_06001_000290_MONTICHAIGNEPrecisely. We would be unable to recall the memories, and any activities that depend upon them would be hindered as well.
3733TEXT_VOICEMAN_06001_000300_MONTICHAIGNEIn fact, this exact phenomenon was observed on a vast scale not so long ago. And what might that have been?
3834TEXT_VOICEMAN_06001_000310_ALPHINAUDThe Seventh Umbral Calamity...
3935TEXT_VOICEMAN_06001_000320_ALPHINAUDThe people of Eorzea vividly recall Bahamut breaking free of the lesser moon and raining hellfire down upon the realm.
4036TEXT_VOICEMAN_06001_000330_ALPHINAUDBut no one could seem to remember the events that followed immediately afterwards.
4137TEXT_VOICEMAN_06001_000340_MONTICHAIGNEIndeed. To this day, we have yet to determine whether it was an unintended consequence or a deliberate act.
4238TEXT_VOICEMAN_06001_000350_MONTICHAIGNEThe enchantment which binds me and the rest of the Forum is based on a similar principle. And yes, it is a contravention of the Sharlayan prohibition against the practice of memory manipulation.
4339TEXT_VOICEMAN_06001_000360_MONTICHAIGNEOnly when a new member is inducted and told of our great duty are they subjected to the process.
4440TEXT_VOICEMAN_06001_000370_MONTICHAIGNEA necessary evil. You have my word that it would never be used to manipulate the populace.
4541TEXT_VOICEMAN_06001_000380_KRILEI should hope not. But can this enchantment be dispelled and your memories restored?
4642TEXT_VOICEMAN_06001_000390_MONTICHAIGNEIf nine-tenths of our members give their approval, then the process may be reversed. Then, and only then, would we be able to speak freely to others of our sacred duty.
4743TEXT_VOICEMAN_06001_000400_MONTICHAIGNEBarring that, we must wait until we return to the aetherial sea...
4844TEXT_VOICEMAN_06001_000410_MONTICHAIGNEFor there we will be purified. The blots upon our souls washed clean...
4945TEXT_VOICEMAN_06001_000420_MONTICHAIGNEAnd our memories drift apart and dissolve. Rather defeating the purpose, I suppose.
5046TEXT_VOICEMAN_06001_000430_MONTICHAIGNEBut there are those memories that are indelibly etched upon our souls, some believe.
5147TEXT_VOICEMAN_06001_000440_ALISAIEWhat happens after that?
5248TEXT_VOICEMAN_06001_000450_MONTICHAIGNEWe are reduced to pure aether, coalesce with that of others, and create souls anew.
5349TEXT_VOICEMAN_06001_000460_MONTICHAIGNEAlternative schools of thought assert souls remain whole and return to the corporeal world, reborn into another form.
5450TEXT_VOICEMAN_06001_000470_MONTICHAIGNEBoth theories have their proponents. Personally, I consider each equally probable.
5551TEXT_VOICEMAN_06001_000480_MONTICHAIGNEWell, I think that's enough education for today, now that I've given you some food for thought─or rather, an entire banquet!
5652TEXT_VOICEMAN_06001_000490_MONTICHAIGNEI would remind you that although I'm unable to assist you with certain matters, the resources at my disposal may still be of use to you.
5753TEXT_VOICEMAN_06001_000500_MONTICHAIGNEI'll arrange for you all to be given the run of Phenomenon. Of course, as associate to our alumni and the Students of Baldesion, this privilege is extended to you as well, my friend.
5854TEXT_VOICEMAN_06001_000510_MONTICHAIGNEOh, and I suggest you speak with Qih Aliapoh. She's well known among the artisans of Sharlayan, and her network of contacts may prove useful in your search for knowledge. I wish you all the best in your pursuits, wheresoever they may take you.
5955TEXT_VOICEMAN_06001_000515_MONTICHAIGNE

6157TEXT_VOICEMAN_06001_000530_THANCREDGlad you could join us. I hope you don't mind, but we went ahead and started without you.
6258TEXT_VOICEMAN_06001_000540_YSHTOLAAs you can imagine, our traveling companions were eager to become acquainted. 'Tis a rare thing indeed to see such a diverse and talented group of individuals assembled for a single purpose.
6359TEXT_VOICEMAN_06001_000550_YSHTOLAWe fight not only for the sake of Eorzea, but for the entire world─including the people of Garlemald. Much rides on the efforts of the Ilsabard contingent.
6460TEXT_VOICEMAN_06001_000560_LUCIAIndeed. Which is why I am glad to find myself in the company of many trusted comrades─yourselves included.

6662TEXT_VOICEMAN_06001_000580_LUCIAI have come at the behest of Lord Aymeric, who has honored me with the role of Ishgard's representative. For the good of all nations, not least my former homeland, I am determined to see this mission through to its end.
6763TEXT_VOICEMAN_06001_000590_LUCIAWe have a hard road ahead of us, but walk it we shall. Together.
6864TEXT_VOICEMAN_06001_000600_ALPHINAUDWe too welcome this opportunity to work together once more. I have faith that, if there is a way to resolve this conflict, we will find it.
6965TEXT_VOICEMAN_06001_000610_LUCIAAllow me to introduce you to the rest of our company.
7066TEXT_VOICEMAN_06001_000620_LUCIAEveryone, if I may have your attention!

7470TEXT_VOICEMAN_06001_000660_ARUHNSENNAWe shall provide support and protection to those in need during our time in Garlemald.
7571TEXT_VOICEMAN_06001_000670_ARUHNSENNATo that end, I am joined by healers selected by the Conjurers' Guild, with the Order of the Twin Adder's finest serving as our escort.
7672TEXT_VOICEMAN_06001_000680_ARUHNSENNAOf course, with an experienced white mage such as yourself accompanying us as well, those requiring more involved treatment will be in safe hands. Raya–O sends her regards, by the way.

7874TEXT_VOICEMAN_06001_000700_GRAHATIAWait─I know you!
7975TEXT_VOICEMAN_06001_000710_SICARDThe name's Sicard, in case you've forgotten. Truth be told, I'd rather you had forgotten...
8076TEXT_VOICEMAN_06001_000720_SICARDAnyroad, the Admiral asked Captain Hyllfyr to send his best, and for whatever reason, he picked me.
8177TEXT_VOICEMAN_06001_000730_SICARD'Course, if I'd refused, I'd be the laughin' stock of the Bloody Executioners, and my reputation's taken enough of a keelhaulin' as it is. But more importantly, like any pirate worth his salt, I know when you're starin' down a storm, you've got to trust in the commander of your ship.
8278TEXT_VOICEMAN_06001_000740_SICARDSo if the Admiral wants us to go to Garlemald─not for plunder and glory, but the promise of peace in our time─then that's what we'll do!
8379TEXT_VOICEMAN_06001_000750_SICARDSince we all know how much the Empire loves its steel, we thought we'd bring along a few smiths to make the most of it. Give 'em a pile of scrap and they'll cobble together anythin' you fancy.
8480TEXT_VOICEMAN_06001_000760_SICARD'Course, just like the Gridanians, we've got fighters of our own. We might've come with a more constructive purpose in mind, but we're more'n capable of cracking skulls, believe you me.
8581TEXT_VOICEMAN_06001_000770_LYSEWell, you're certainly raring to go. But then again, so are we.

8783TEXT_VOICEMAN_06001_000790_LYSEIf Garlemald has truly fallen, then the whole place is likely to be crawling with Telophoroi. We'll need plenty of troops to clear and hold a path for others to follow.
8884TEXT_VOICEMAN_06001_000800_LYSEThat's where we come in. Naturally, Marshal Tarupin and I will be leading from the front.

9490TEXT_VOICEMAN_06001_000850_LUCIAAs for Ishgard, we Temple Knights have come in force to uphold our nation's commitment to the peace and welfare of our allies.
9591TEXT_VOICEMAN_06001_000860_LUCIAThe bitter cold of Garlemald is a formidable enemy in of itself. Our experience fighting in ice and snow will prove invaluable in the days ahead.
9692TEXT_VOICEMAN_06001_000870_LUCIAAccordingly, I have been designated commander of the Ilsabard contingent. I will do all in my power to provide you with the leadership and guidance you require.
9793TEXT_VOICEMAN_06001_000880_LUCIAThe four High Houses─House Haillenarte foremost among them─have arranged for a host of machinists to join us on our mission.

136132TEXT_VOICEMAN_06001_001240_LUCIATo reach the Garlean capital in northern Ilsabard, we must cross the central mountain range.
137133TEXT_VOICEMAN_06001_001250_LUCIAFortunately, Garlond Ironworks can provide aerial transport, sparing us this most treacherous part of our journey.
138134TEXT_VOICEMAN_06001_001260_LUCIAHowever, attempting to fly any closer to Garlemald would attract the attention of the Telophoroi.
139135TEXT_VOICEMAN_06001_001270_LUCIAAs they appear to have seized control of the majority of the imperial military, we must assume that includes its fleet. In addition, Garlemald possesses devices that can interfere with airship navigational systems, further discouraging an airborne approach.
140136TEXT_VOICEMAN_06001_001280_MAXIMAGiven the circumstances, the closest we dare deploy our contingent is an area between the range and the capital─the Magna Glacies.
141137TEXT_VOICEMAN_06001_001290_MAXIMAFrom there, we must travel the rest of the way on foot. We will also need to bring the airships with us to ensure we can withdraw with haste. Although much of the terrain will be blanketed in snow, we should be able to make use of local roads and shipping facilities.
142138TEXT_VOICEMAN_06001_001300_MAXIMAThe vast ice field will afford us an unobstructed view of the surrounding area.
