| 4 | 0 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_06006_000010_YSHTOLA | Your business with Tataru is finished? |
| 5 | 1 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_06006_000020_YSHTOLA | My, what a thoughtful surprise. Whatever would we do without her? |
| 6 | 2 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_06006_000030_THANCRED | Indeed. And she's right, you know─it hasn't been all doom and gloom. |
| 7 | 3 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_06006_000040_YSHTOLA | It feels like a lifetime ago that Master Louisoix gathered us together to form the Circle of Knowing. |
| 8 | 4 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_06006_000050_YSHTOLA | Since then, we have experienced much. But rather than feeling wiser, the more I learn, the more I find my knowledge lacking. |
| 9 | 5 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_06006_000060_URIANGER | Forsooth. As a student, vainly did I believe that I held the secrets of creation in my grasp. Yet that which I had seized was but an insignificant sliver of what awaited in the wider world. |
| 10 | 6 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_06006_000070_URIANGER | Every encounter, every experience, hath served to open mine eyes, enlightening and humbling me in equal measure. Even from those whom I called enemies have I learned many a valuable lesson. |
| 11 | 7 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_06006_000080_YSHTOLA | What will we learn at the edge of the universe, I wonder... |
| 12 | 8 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_06006_000090_THANCRED | Ultima Thule, where the bringer of the end makes her nest... I for one can't possibly imagine. |
| 13 | 9 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_06006_000100_THANCRED | But whatever awaits us there, we will survive. We <Emphasis>must</Emphasis>... For her. |
| 14 | 10 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_06006_Q1_000_001_NONE_VOICE | What will you say? |
| 15 | 11 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_06006_A1_000_001_NONE_VOICE | You've nothing left to prove. Not to Ryne. Nor Minfilia. |
| 16 | 12 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_06006_A1_000_002_NONE_VOICE | We'll get through this. Together. |
| 17 | 13 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_06006_A1_000_003_NONE_VOICE | Just make sure you bring enough ammunition. |
| 18 | 14 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_06006_000110_THANCRED | ... |
| 19 | 15 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_06006_000120_URIANGER | Is aught the matter? |
| 20 | 16 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_06006_000130_THANCRED | No, it's nothing. I just... Well, lately I find myself surprised at how much I've changed. How much we've all changed. |
| 21 | 17 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_06006_000140_THANCRED | Haha |
| 22 | 18 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_06006_000150_THANCRED | Gods, it feels like only yesterday that we went on that mission to Drybone. |
| 23 | 19 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_06006_000160_THANCRED | We've both changed much since then, have we not? |
| 24 | 20 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_06006_000170_THANCRED | O ye of little faith. I know better than to leave home without ample supplies, thank you very much─I didn't pick up the gunblade yesterday. |
| 25 | 21 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_06006_000180_THANCRED | And to think I used to prefer fighting from the shadows. Gods, I really have changed. |
| 26 | 22 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_06006_000185_YSHTOLA | [AMUSED LAUGH] Report if displayed. |
| 27 | 23 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_06006_000190_YSHTOLA | We've come far together, and if we have aught to say about it, we'll go further still. Aye, we will avert this calamity and return home. |
| 28 | 24 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_06006_000200_YSHTOLA | In preparation for which, we must give thought to what we hope to achieve after the proverbial dust has settled. |
| 29 | 25 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_06006_000210_THANCRED | What with the primals and Ascians all but dealt with, I suppose we'll need to look for new hobbies. |
| 30 | 26 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_06006_000220_THANCRED | In all seriousness, though─in uniting to overcome a common foe, the disparate peoples of the world have found a way forward together. It's a truly gratifying sight to see. |
| 31 | 27 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_06006_000230_YSHTOLA | Indeed... Though it was many years in the making, we have successfully set in motion the gears of fundamental change. |
| 32 | 28 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_06006_000240_YSHTOLA | With this, we have fulfilled our humble role as a symbol of hope...and I daresay it is time to bow out. |
| 33 | 29 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_06006_000250_YSHTOLA | After all, there is no shortage of hands to bear the torch in our stead. |
| 34 | 30 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_06006_000260_THANCRED | You know, I never really considered I might live long enough to see an after. |
| 35 | 31 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_06006_000270_THANCRED | But even if my time as a Scion came to an end, I don't expect that much would change. |
| 36 | 32 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_06006_000280_THANCRED | Traveling the world, going wherever the wind blows, lending a hand to those in need... |
| 37 | 33 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_06006_000290_URIANGER | A journey for journey's sake. It doth suit thee well. I must confess, I too have yearned to see more of the world. |
| 38 | 34 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_06006_000300_URIANGER | If thou art amenable to the suggestion, I would accompany thee. Mine ability to affect an air of normalcy through artful disguise is much improved, thou must concede... |
| 39 | 35 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_06006_000310_THANCRED | Aye, well, improvement is relative. You still look suspicious no matter what you wear. |
| 40 | 36 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_06006_000320_THANCRED | What of you, Y'shtola? Any grand plans? |
| 41 | 37 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_06006_000330_YSHTOLA | Why, continue my quest for knowledge, naturally. To begin with, I wish to know the state of the reflections, to which end I must find a means to travel between worlds. |
| 42 | 38 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_06006_000340_YSHTOLA | 'Tis the least I must do if I am to keep my promise. |
| 43 | 39 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_06006_000350_YSHTOLA | Should my pursuits prove unduly arduous, I won't hesitate to call on you. |
| 44 | 40 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_06006_000360_YSHTOLA | And in return, I will take you to see Ryne one day. I'm sure you cannot wait to see the fine young woman she has become. |
| 45 | 41 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_06006_000370_THANCRED | Spare me... |
| 46 | 42 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_06006_000380_URIANGER | And what of thee? What wouldst thou pursue at duty's end? |
| 47 | 43 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_06006_000390_WAITEROFTHELASTSTAND | Here's yours. My apologies for the wait. |
| 48 | 44 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_06006_000400_THANCRED | Well, shall we make a toast? |
| 49 | 45 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_06006_000410_THANCRED | To victory. |
| 50 | 46 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_06006_000420_URIANGER | To our comrades. |
| 51 | 47 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_06006_000430_YSHTOLA | To the future of the star. |
| 52 | 48 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_06006_000440_KRILE | Oh? |
| 53 | 49 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_06006_000450_KRILE | [LAUGH] Report if displayed. |
| 54 | 50 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_06006_000460_KRILE | Knowing them, they're probably dreaming about the celestial adventures to come. |
| 55 | 51 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_06006_000470_KRILE | Just as well. They've been running themselves ragged of late. |
| 56 | 52 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_06006_000480_KRILE | Unlike you and the others, I'm a few steps removed from the danger and excitement. The things you all get up to never fail to impress me. But by the same token, I can't help but worry. |
| 57 | 53 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_06006_000490_KRILE | Not only for your safety, but...but for your happiness. After everything you've sacrificed, you earned it a thousand times over. |
| 58 | 54 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_06006_000500_KRILE | From the simple pleasures of tucking into a hearty meal or...or collapsing into a comfortable bed... |
| 59 | 55 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_06006_000510_KRILE | To the grand triumphs of visiting legendary lands or finding true love─you deserve all the joy in the world. |
| 60 | 56 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_06006_000520_KRILE | There is so much that life has to offer. So much to be treasured and shared with those we hold dear. |
| 61 | 57 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_06006_000530_KRILE | So promise me this: come what may, you won't give up on your own happiness. |
| 62 | 58 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_06006_000540_KRILE | When you're out there, fighting tooth and nail, it's all too easy to forget. |
| 63 | 59 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_06006_000550_KRILE | But in the end, your passions will be your greatest strength of all. Remember that. |
| 64 | 60 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_06006_000560_GRAHATIA | [GRUMBLE] Report if displayed. |
| 65 | 61 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_06006_000570_GRAHATIA | Hm... This feels...familiar... |
| 66 | 62 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_06006_000580_GRAHATIA | Well, 'tis good to be... |
| 67 | 63 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_06006_000590_GRAHATIA | Wait, what are you─? What am I─? |
| 68 | 64 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_06006_000600_GRAHATIA | Gods, don't tell me I fell asleep? |
| 69 | 65 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_06006_000610_KRILE | Not that there's any shame in it...but you were sleeping like babies. |
| 70 | 66 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_06006_000620_GRAHATIA | Ugh... How embarrassing... |
| 71 | 67 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_06006_000630_ALISAIE | Not a word to anyone. Understood? Not. One. Word. |
| 72 | 68 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_06006_000640_KRILE | I'm told that sleeping in proper beds of your own choosing is a much more effective way to prepare for battle. |
| 73 | 69 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_06006_000650_ALISAIE | [GRUMBLE] Report if displayed. |
| 74 | 70 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_06006_000660_GRAHATIA | So...what were the two of you doing here? |
| 75 | 71 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_06006_000670_KRILE | I had a few books to return to the library. Thought I'd take care of it while I could. |
| 76 | 72 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_06006_000680_GRAHATIA | And you? |
| 77 | 73 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_06006_Q2_000_001_NONE_VOICE | What will you say? |
| 78 | 74 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_06006_A2_000_001_NONE_VOICE | It's a secret. |
| 79 | 75 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_06006_A2_000_002_NONE_VOICE | Just enjoying a little peace and quiet. |
| 80 | 76 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_06006_A2_000_003_NONE_VOICE | Nothing in particular. |
| 81 | 77 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_06006_000690_ALPHINAUD | Oh? What brings you here? |
| 82 | 78 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_06006_000700_ALPHINAUD | Ah, so you were worried that the Leveilleur household might again be gripped by turmoil. |
| 83 | 79 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_06006_000710_ALPHINAUD | |
| 84 | 80 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_06006_000720_ALPHINAUD | All is well, I assure you. |
| 85 | 81 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_06006_000730_ALPHINAUD | In my letters home, I had made mention of Estinien, you see. |
| 86 | 82 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_06006_000740_ALPHINAUD | My mother wished to meet the legend in person, and so we arranged to have a spot of tea together. |
| 87 | 83 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_06006_000750_ESTINIEN | Where were you in my hour of need? Fell beasts I can face, but I'm not made for idle chitchat with lords and ladies... |
| 88 | 84 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_06006_000760_ALPHINAUD | Well, I for one thought you held your own. Mother was the picture of delight. |
| 89 | 85 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_06006_000770_ESTINIEN | Hmph. I might've been delighted myself were we in a tavern with more agreeable drink. |
| 90 | 86 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_06006_000780_ESTINIEN | The thought of fleeing crossed my mind, but what then? I'd never hear the end of it─least of all from Tataru. |
| 91 | 87 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_06006_000790_ALPHINAUD | I'm sorry... 'Twas not my intent to cause you such distress. |
| 92 | 88 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_06006_000800_ALPHINAUD | It's just...it was one of the things I didn't want to leave undone ere we set forth. |
| 93 | 89 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_06006_000810_ALPHINAUD | That's not to say I think we won't be returning... |
| 94 | 90 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_06006_000820_ALPHINAUD | Yet given what lies ahead, I did not wish to leave for later that which I could do today. |
| 95 | 91 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_06006_000830_ALPHINAUD | After all, tomorrow is never promised. |
| 96 | 92 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_06006_000840_ESTINIEN | It's fine. Not like I had better things to do. |
| 97 | 93 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_06006_000850_ESTINIEN | Besides...seeing you with your mother brought back fond memories of my own. Be we rich or poor, family is...family. |
| 98 | 94 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_06006_000860_ESTINIEN | Well, it's past time we were on our way. |
| 99 | 95 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_06006_000870_ALPHINAUD | Wait! |
| 100 | 96 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_06006_000880_ALPHINAUD | Since I left home, I've made a great many mistakes. Mistakes for which I can never make amends. But through it all, you didn't give up on me. |
| 101 | 97 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_06006_000890_ALPHINAUD | To have returned here, with you at my side... It means more to me than you know. |
| 102 | 98 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_06006_000900_ALPHINAUD | Thank you. From the bottom of my heart. |
| 103 | 99 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_06006_000910_ESTINIEN | |
| 104 | 100 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_06006_000920_ALPHINAUD | Forgive me, but it needed to be said. |
| 105 | 101 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_06006_000930_ESTINIEN | I'm the one who owes you thanks. |
| 106 | 102 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_06006_000940_ESTINIEN | Were it not for you, I would not be alive today, nor come to terms with Nidhogg's spirit. |
| 107 | 103 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_06006_000950_ESTINIEN | I am ever grateful. |
| 108 | 104 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_06006_Q3_000_001_NONE_VOICE | What will you say? |
| 109 | 105 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_06006_A3_000_001_NONE_VOICE | I suppose I ought to thank you both as well. |
| 110 | 106 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_06006_A3_000_002_NONE_VOICE | You were never one to forsake a friend, Alphinaud. |
| 111 | 107 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_06006_A3_000_003_NONE_VOICE | I'll be counting on you. |
| 112 | 108 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_06006_000960_ALPHINAUD | Well, we needn't make it a competition. You know... This must be what Hydaelyn meant when She spoke about depending on one another. |
| 113 | 109 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_06006_000970_ALPHINAUD | However treacherous the road before us, together we will prevail. |
| 114 | 110 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_06006_000980_ALPHINAUD | |
| 115 | 111 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_06006_000990_ALPHINAUD | No, I'm not. And I'm proud of that. |
| 116 | 112 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_06006_001000_ESTINIEN | |
| 117 | 113 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_06006_001010_ESTINIEN | I know, and I won't let you down. Together, we'll show the enemy the strength of mortal will. |
| 118 | 114 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_06006_001020_SYSTEM_NONE_VOICE | That night, at the Royal Menagerie in Ala Mhigo... |
| 119 | 115 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_06006_001030_ZENOS | (-Zenos viator Galvus-) “You will never get what you want...not even the battle you pine for so dearly...” |
| 120 | 116 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_06006_001040_ZENOS | (-Zenos viator Galvus-)In that transcendent moment, what was it that I sought in you? |
| 121 | 117 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_06006_001050_ZENOS | (-Zenos viator Galvus-)And what was it that you sought in me? |
| 122 | 118 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_06006_001060_SYSTEM_NONE_VOICE | And thus it dawns... |
| 123 | 119 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_06006_001070_SYSTEM_NONE_VOICE | The day of reckoning. |
| 124 | 120 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_06006_001080_YSHTOLA | How often have we thus assembled... |
| 125 | 121 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_06006_001090_YSHTOLA | To combine our knowledge and seek solutions to the problems before us. |
| 126 | 122 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_06006_001100_THANCRED | Back at the Waking Sands, it was all we could do to address the most minor of troubles. Who could've realized what we'd find when we began to look to the sources of the realm's woes. |
| 127 | 123 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_06006_001110_URIANGER | At the Rising Stones, we made great strides and shared many moments. From the joyous...to the sorrowful. |
| 128 | 124 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_06006_001120_ALPHINAUD | We've had occasion to call other places home too. |
| 129 | 125 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_06006_001130_ALPHINAUD | Be it Ishgard or Kugane, we were fortunate to find sanctuary wherein we might take stock and continue our fight. |
| 130 | 126 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_06006_001140_GRAHATIA | I was honored to host this company in the Crystarium. To stand with you all as we confronted the truth of the star itself. |
| 131 | 127 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_06006_001150_ALISAIE | And now, from this place, we go to fight the most important battle of all. |
| 132 | 128 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_06006_001160_KRILE | The Forum has sent word. The ark is ready. |
| 133 | 129 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_06006_001170_KRILE | The Loporrits, naturally, will be commanding the vessel. |
| 134 | 130 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_06006_001180_KRILE | They will see the eight of you to Ultima Thule. |
| 135 | 131 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_06006_001190_KRILE | Upon arriving, your objective is to find and vanquish Meteion. |
| 136 | 132 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_06006_001200_KRILE | As a final formality, the Forum bade me ascertain your resolve. So...are you certain you wish to do this? |
| 137 | 133 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_06006_001210_YSHTOLA | We are. |
| 138 | 134 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_06006_001220_KRILE | Then ere you report to Thaumazein, I leave you with these words. |
| 139 | 135 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_06006_001230_KRILE | You must triumph. |
| 140 | 136 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_06006_001240_KRILE | What that means will differ for each of you. |
| 141 | 137 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_06006_001250_KRILE | To make it back home, or to simply avert doom, or perhaps something else altogether... |
| 142 | 138 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_06006_001260_KRILE | Yet whatever it is that drives you, I have faith in its power to see you through. So please─triumph. |
| 143 | 139 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_06006_001270_KRILE | Triumph, as we who remain behind believe you will. |
| 144 | 140 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_06006_001280_ALPHINAUD | Let us be off, then. |
| 145 | 141 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_06006_001290_TATARU | Wait! |
| 146 | 142 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_06006_001300_TATARU | Both Krile and I will be there to see you off, but as your receptionist, I feel I need to say this here. |
| 147 | 143 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_06006_001310_TATARU | Safe journey, all of you! And...be safe! |
| 148 | 144 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_06006_Q4_000_001_NONE_VOICE | What will you say? |
| 149 | 145 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_06006_A4_000_001_NONE_VOICE | You can count on it. |
| 150 | 146 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_06006_A4_000_002_NONE_VOICE | You too, Tataru. |
| 151 | 147 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_06006_001320_FOURCHENAULT | All present and accounted for? Good. |
| 152 | 148 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_06006_001330_FOURCHENAULT | As you will have heard, the ark is ready. All that remains is to board and be on your way. |
| 153 | 149 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_06006_001340_CID | I've seen my fair share of tight schedules, but this was bloody murder... |
| 154 | 150 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_06006_001350_CID | But we did it. We finished the ship. |
| 155 | 151 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_06006_001360_CID | It's safe, fit for purpose, and looks good to boot. Aye, it's a Garlond through and through. |
| 156 | 152 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_06006_001370_GRAHATIA | I really don't know what we'd do without you. Thank you for everything. |
| 157 | 153 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_06006_001380_CID | Don't mention it. Ever since that episode with Omega, I've been toying with the idea of starfaring vessels. |
| 158 | 154 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_06006_001390_CID | And as they say, necessity is the mother of invention. We've learned a lot, let me tell you. |
| 159 | 155 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_06006_001400_CID | Well, the work was hard, but we've learned a lot from it. After all, it's not every day you get tasked with building a starfaring vessel. |
| 160 | 156 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_06006_001410_CID | In case you're wondering about payment, the ongoing existence of the world ought to do. But feel free to throw in a colorful recounting of your journey on your return. |
| 161 | 157 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_06006_001420_CID | So, have you thought of a name? |
| 162 | 158 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_06006_001430_ALISAIE | A name? Wasn't everyone just calling it Father's “teeny-tiny toy boat”? |
| 163 | 159 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_06006_001440_CID | Well, seeing as its purpose has changed, I thought a more eloquent name was in order. I suggested as much to Fourchenault, who seemed quite amenable to the idea. |
| 164 | 160 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_06006_001450_FOURCHENAULT | As you know, this vessel is the culmination of heretofore unprecedented collaboration. |
| 165 | 161 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_06006_001460_FOURCHENAULT | And though said collaboration is owed to the Scions, there is another whose noble deeds made our work possible. |
| 166 | 162 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_06006_001470_FOURCHENAULT | From a fragment of Dalamud, we obtained not only advanced materials such as refined adamantite, but the knowledge to traverse the stars. |
| 167 | 163 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_06006_001480_FOURCHENAULT | And this fragment would not have found its way to us had the Archon Louisoix not fought to protect this world─and in so doing laid down his life. |
| 168 | 164 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_06006_001490_FOURCHENAULT | Now that the vessel stands complete, I cannot help but wonder if it was more than mere happenstance... |
| 169 | 165 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_06006_001500_FOURCHENAULT | If it was my father's intention to guide us here. |
| 170 | 166 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_06006_001510_FOURCHENAULT | In the hopes that his guidance will see you all safely home, I name the vessel after that selfsame fragment of Dalamud he delivered unto us. |
| 171 | 167 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_06006_001520_FOURCHENAULT | The starship <Emphasis>Ragnarok</Emphasis>. |
| 172 | 168 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_06006_001530_SICARD | Sorry for the wait! I got everyone you asked for, and not a one less. |
| 173 | 169 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_06006_001540_ALPHINAUD | What are you all doing here? |
| 174 | 170 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_06006_001550_LIVINGWAY | Oh, I invited them. The representatives of those tribes with religious inclinations. |
| 175 | 171 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_06006_001560_LIVINGWAY | You've done a fine job of readying the <Emphasis>Ragnarok</Emphasis>, but for it to take flight, we'll of course need the power of the Mothercrystal. |
| 176 | 172 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_06006_001570_LIVINGWAY | Given its immense size, however, transporting it would be an absolute logistical nightmare. Not to mention we'd need to shatter it into tiny shards for feeding to the engines. |
| 177 | 173 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_06006_001580_LIVINGWAY | But a brilliant idea came to me: we convert the crystal's energy into forms that can transport themselves! |
| 178 | 174 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_06006_001585_URIANGER | [GASP] Report if displayed. |
| 179 | 175 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_06006_001590_URIANGER | Thou wouldst employ summoning...or should I say its precursor─creation magicks. |
| 180 | 176 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_06006_001600_THANCRED | Care to explain for our benefit? |
| 181 | 177 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_06006_001610_URIANGER | As you may have witnessed at Bestways Burrow, the Loporrits are capable of creation magicks, which they use to shape the moon's environment. |
| 182 | 178 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_06006_001620_URIANGER | Yet simple though they make it seem, 'tis a highly advanced and exacting art. To perform it correctly requireth that the wielder holdeth the object in his mind's eye in clearest detail. |
| 183 | 179 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_06006_001630_ALPHINAUD | Hence the ancients' meticulous management of concepts. |
| 184 | 180 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_06006_001640_URIANGER | Drawing upon this art, the Ascians conceived of summoning as we know it. |
| 185 | 181 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_06006_001650_URIANGER | A derivative that replaceth the complexity of concepts with the simplicity of zealotry to make manifest a creation. |
| 186 | 182 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_06006_001660_YSHTOLA | I see... By combining the Loporrits' magicks and the tribes' faith, we convert the Mothercrystal into primals of purer form and greater obedience. |
| 187 | 183 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_06006_001670_YSHTOLA | Summoning as it was intended, one might say. |
| 188 | 184 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_06006_001680_LIVINGWAY | Indeed, indeed! |
| 189 | 185 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_06006_001690_LIVINGWAY | While Hydaelyn gave us the ability to use creation magicks, She forbade us from using it to make anything possessed of a soul─or similar. |
| 190 | 186 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_06006_001700_LIVINGWAY | She didn't say anything about fulfilling the desires of <Emphasis>others</Emphasis>, though. So! Borrowing our friends' faith, we'll create deities using the Mothercrystal's power, and send them to the <Emphasis>Ragnarok</Emphasis>! |
| 191 | 187 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_06006_001710_ALISAIE | Am I the only one here concerned about the risk of being turned into a tempered minion? |
| 192 | 188 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_06006_001720_LIVINGWAY | Oh, right, I was getting to that... From what I've read in Sharlayan tomes, it appears the Ascians incorporated an additional nasty element into their summoning method: the fervent desire to assimilate others into one's belief. |
| 193 | 189 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_06006_001730_LIVINGWAY | Beings thus created are instilled with the selfsame desire, and use their powers to enthrall people─starting with the summoner. |
| 194 | 190 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_06006_001740_LIVINGWAY | In contrast, our creation magicks─the original and the best, accept no substitutes─don't incorporate any of that rubbish, so there's no risk of tempering. I mean, if the being was on the scale of Zodiark, you might feel a little “tug”...but I think we'll be safe enough. |
| 195 | 191 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_06006_001750_SOROBAN | Truth be told, I do not understand the intricacies of this plan. But none of us would ever turn our backs on you. |
| 196 | 192 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_06006_001760_SOROBAN | When the avatars of our faith ran amok, you intervened without decrying we who birthed them. |
| 197 | 193 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_06006_001770_SOROBAN | Where others vilified and suppressed us, you offered understanding and friendship. |
| 198 | 194 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_06006_001780_SOROBAN | In gratitude, we will share with you the true expressions of our gods─not malevolent deities, but benevolent saviors! |
| 199 | 195 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_06006_001790_SICARD | All right, you lot, we're headin' to the aetherial sea. Stay in sight else you're liable to get lost. |
| 200 | 196 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_06006_001800_SOROBAN | Lead the way! |
| 201 | 197 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_06006_001810_WILFSUNN | May we have a moment? |
| 202 | 198 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_06006_001820_WILFSUNN | In anticipation of the day man might journey to the stars, we developed these. |
| 203 | 199 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_06006_001830_BLOEWYDA | Portable teleportation devices. One for each of you, designed to work in tandem. |
| 204 | 200 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_06006_001840_BLOEWYDA | Press the button on one, and in a matter of moments all eight will activate and send their owners back to the <Emphasis>Ragnarok</Emphasis>. |
| 205 | 201 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_06006_001850_BLOEWYDA | There is no telling what hazards you may encounter. If you find yourselves separated or lost, please do not hesitate to use them. |
| 206 | 202 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_06006_001860_BLOEWYDA | Be safe, all of you. And come back. |
| 207 | 203 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_06006_001870_URIANGER | You as well. I pray you take care. |
| 208 | 204 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_06006_001880_LIVINGWAY | Looks like everything is in order, so I'll go ahead and board. |
| 209 | 205 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_06006_001890_LIVINGWAY | A few of my fellows will remain to assist with the summonings, but rest assured the vessel won't want for competent crewing. |
| 210 | 206 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_06006_001900_FOURCHENAULT | If you are ready, then you should board as well. Go...and godsspeed. |
| 211 | 207 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_06006_001910_LIVINGWAY | Welcome to the bridge, everyone! |
| 212 | 208 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_06006_001920_LIVINGWAY | I hope you have everything, because I can't be bothered turning back. |
| 213 | 209 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_06006_001930_LIVINGWAY | Right then, make yourselves comfortable. We're setting off in just a moment. |
| 214 | 210 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_06006_001940_ALPHINAUD | It's...incredible... |
| 215 | 211 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_06006_001950_FOURCHENAULT | This is Fourchenault. Can you hear me? |
| 216 | 212 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_06006_001960_FOURCHENAULT | The preparations for the summonings are complete. |
| 217 | 213 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_06006_001970_FOURCHENAULT | In accordance with the fourteenth phase of the plan, we have moved the <Emphasis>Ragnarok</Emphasis> to the launch site. |
| 218 | 214 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_06006_001980_FOURCHENAULT | The gates are open. You may depart when ready. |
| 219 | 215 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_06006_001990_LIVINGWAY | So...are we ready? |
| 220 | 216 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_06006_002000_ALISAIE | As ready as we'll ever be. Let's get going. |
| 221 | 217 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_06006_002010_MAPPINGWAY | Oh, come on! A burnt-out star's got more fire in its belly! |
| 222 | 218 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_06006_002020_MAPPINGWAY | Try it again─with feeling! |
| 223 | 219 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_06006_Q5_000_001_NONE_VOICE | What will you do? |
| 224 | 220 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_06006_A5_000_001_NONE_VOICE | Issue the command to launch. |
| 225 | 221 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_06006_A5_000_002_NONE_VOICE | Have Alphinaud do the honors. |
| 226 | 222 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_06006_002030_ALPHINAUD | Me!? B-But I... |
| 227 | 223 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_06006_002040_ALISAIE | No need to be coy, Brother. Do it, and do it well! |
| 228 | 224 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_06006_002050_ALPHINAUD | If you all insist... |

| 238 | 234 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_06006_002150_GARUDA | That I must carry <Emphasis>landwalkers</Emphasis> into the sky... I cannot imagine a greater indignity! |
| 239 | 235 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_06006_002160_SUSANO | Do not sulk so. For thy mighty winds exist not only to buffet and batter. |
| 240 | 236 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_06006_002170_SUSANO | Nay, they may serve also to thrust forth with vigor. Such is thy glory...and thus it is an occasion to rejoice! |
| 241 | 237 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_06006_002180_SUSANO | So come─let us revel! |
| 242 | 238 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_06006_002190_GARUDA | |
| 243 | 239 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_06006_002200_GARUDA | So long as the wind blows freely, I suppose all is as it should be in creation... |
| 244 | 240 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_06006_002210_GARUDA | I will render unto them a storm, that they may pierce the firmament and fly free! |
| 245 | 241 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_06006_002220_LIVINGWAY | Still in one piece. Good. |
| 246 | 242 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_06006_002230_LIVINGWAY | Sleepingway, report. |
| 247 | 243 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_06006_002240_SLEEPINGWAY | All's well! Fantastic, even! |
| 248 | 244 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_06006_002250_SLEEPINGWAY | Thanks to the power of those primals, the engines are roaring and we're ripping along! |
| 249 | 245 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_06006_002260_MAPPINGWAY | All values are also within projected ranges. Time to destination is eight carrots. Perhaps seven at a pinch. |
| 250 | 246 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_06006_002270_LIVINGWAY | All right, let's go over some points of caution. |
| 251 | 247 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_06006_002280_LIVINGWAY | Our destination, as you know, is Ultima Thule. Lest you wonder, the place is not a star so much as...a patch of emptiness. |
| 252 | 248 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_06006_002290_LIVINGWAY | That's the extent of what our equipment could determine, anyway. |
| 253 | 249 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_06006_002300_LIVINGWAY | From what we know of Meteion, she's likely used dynamis to obfuscate her location. |
| 254 | 250 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_06006_002310_YSHTOLA | So in conclusion, we'll only know what's there when we get there. |
| 255 | 251 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_06006_002320_LIVINGWAY | The crew and I will see to it the ship's ready to take off at a moment's notice. |
| 256 | 252 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_06006_002330_LIVINGWAY | We'll support the search as best we can, but it'll be your paws on the ground...assuming there is any. |
| 257 | 253 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_06006_002340_LIVINGWAY | But everything will be fine, I'm sure. Hydaelyn believes in you, so you ought to believe in yourselves. |
| 258 | 254 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_06006_002350_LIVINGWAY | Just don't do anything I wouldn't. Like waiting too long to use those portable teleporters of yours. |
| 259 | 255 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_06006_002360_LIVINGWAY | Personally, at the slightest sign of trouble, I'd mash the button to bits─and you should as well. |
| 260 | 256 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_06006_002370_ALPHINAUD | Understood. We promise to be careful. |
| 261 | 257 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_06006_002380_MAPPINGWAY | I suggest you brace yourselves. We're about to arrive, and the vessel will shake a good bit. |
| 262 | 258 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_06006_002390_MAPPINGWAY | Hm? What is this? |
| 263 | 259 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_06006_002400_MAPPINGWAY | Something is interfering with the equipment... |
| 264 | 260 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_06006_002410_METEION | (-???-)...Greetings. |
| 265 | 261 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_06006_002420_METEION | Greetings... Can you hear me...? |
| 266 | 262 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_06006_Q6_000_001_NONE_VOICE | What will you say? |
| 267 | 263 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_06006_A6_000_001_NONE_VOICE | Meteion... |
| 268 | 264 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_06006_A6_000_002_NONE_VOICE | It's her...the bringer of despair. |
| 269 | 265 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_06006_002430_ALPHINAUD | So this is Meteion... |
| 270 | 266 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_06006_002440_ALPHINAUD | This is Meteion... |
| 271 | 267 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_06006_002450_METEION | Oh? Have you met one of my sisters? |
| 272 | 268 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_06006_002460_METEION | I don't remember meeting you myself... But I do know that you're from Etheirys. |
| 273 | 269 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_06006_002470_METEION | Why have you come? All you had to do was wait. I would've delivered to you your ends. |
| 274 | 270 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_06006_002480_ALISAIE | We didn't ask for that! |
| 275 | 271 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_06006_002490_METEION | I don't understand. All life is destined to end. |
| 276 | 272 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_06006_002500_METEION | Why choose to prolong your suffering? |
| 277 | 273 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_06006_002510_METEION | Effort, ambition, love─they amount to naught. Happiness, should you find it, is inevitably lost. Stolen away by events beyond your control. |
| 278 | 274 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_06006_002520_METEION | There is no logic nor meaning in it. You think there is, convince yourselves, but it's all a cruel accident. |
| 279 | 275 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_06006_002530_METEION | Come now, I speak the truth. A truth you would recognize if you looked up at the night sky. |
| 280 | 276 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_06006_002540_METEION | Unbroken emptiness. Cold, dark, and silent. Your world, like every other, is but a blemish upon its perfect fabric. |
| 281 | 277 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_06006_002550_METEION | Life is an anomaly. It is unnatural and cannot continue. The sooner you accept this, the easier it will be. |
| 282 | 278 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_06006_002560_YSHTOLA | Just to be clear, we're not here to argue with you. |
| 283 | 279 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_06006_002570_YSHTOLA | We know that life is fleeting. And that in the short time we have it, we're not assured happiness. |
| 284 | 280 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_06006_002580_THANCRED | Indeed, I've seen far more sorrow in the eyes of many I've met. |
| 285 | 281 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_06006_002590_THANCRED | I myself have plenty of regrets, and one day they'll die with me. Gone to dust with my “good” deeds and unfulfilled dreams. |
| 286 | 282 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_06006_002600_ALPHINAUD | But we accept this. That our existence may seem pointless. That sorrow, rage, and despair will always dog our heels. |
| 287 | 283 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_06006_002610_ALPHINAUD | And we press on regardless. That is why Hydaelyn guided us here. |
| 288 | 284 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_06006_002620_ALPHINAUD | In Her boundless love for mankind, She has prepared us for this trial, and in Her name we have come for you! |
| 289 | 285 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_06006_002630_METEION | Yes, I sense it... A burning passion, like unto fury... |
| 290 | 286 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_06006_002640_METEION | I know it well. For the same passion once burned in many a star before yours. |
| 291 | 287 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_06006_002650_METEION | Suffocated and extinguished now. |
| 292 | 288 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_06006_002660_ALISAIE | I...I can't...breathe. |
| 293 | 289 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_06006_002670_METEION | You approach the bounds of my Ultimatum, where emotions dictate reality. |
| 294 | 290 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_06006_002680_METEION | Where resignation and acceptance unite to embrace the end. |
| 295 | 291 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_06006_002690_METEION | Where those who yet valiantly cling to life cannot thrive... |
| 296 | 292 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_06006_002700_ESTINIEN | By the Fury... |
| 297 | 293 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_06006_002710_URIANGER | Thancred...? |
| 298 | 294 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_06006_002720_YSHTOLA | Meteion is gone as well. Mayhap he awakened first and gave chase. |
| 299 | 295 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_06006_002730_MAPPINGWAY | ...Uh, everyone? It appears we're at our destination. |
| 300 | 296 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_06006_002740_MAPPINGWAY | This...this is Ultima Thule. |
| 301 | 297 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_06006_002750_GROWINGWAY | Not that we knew what to expect...but I wasn't expecting this. |
| 302 | 298 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_06006_002760_GROWINGWAY | From atmospheric composition to ambient temperatures, all readings are within permissible range. This place is capable of supporting life! |
| 303 | 299 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_06006_002770_LIVINGWAY | If that's the case, then Thancred may well have gone on ahead. Let's go and have a look. |
| 304 | 300 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_06006_002780_LIVINGWAY | Meanwhile, I want the rest of you to perform a full inspection of the ship as well as a biological scan. |
| 305 | 301 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_06006_002790_HYTHLODAEUS | So it was that the brave wayfarers arrived at last at dream's end. |
| 306 | 302 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_06006_002800_EMETSELCH | In following their path walked and history written, I am made keenly aware of one truth... |
| 307 | 303 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_06006_002810_EMETSELCH | Though the curtains may fall again and again, so long as others take the stage, ever shall there be more tales to tell. |
| 308 | 304 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_06006_002820_HYTHLODAEUS | So let them bring it to a close, I say. |
| 309 | 305 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_06006_002830_EMETSELCH | Let the curtains fall upon this─ |
| 310 | 306 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_06006_002840_EMETSELCH | The final chapter in the tale of the star. |
| 311 | 307 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_06006_002850_GRAHATIA | Is this...a dead star? |
| 312 | 308 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_06006_002860_LIVINGWAY | As I live and breathe...I live and breathe. The environment itself shouldn't kill us. |
| 313 | 309 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_06006_002870_YSHTOLA | Well then, let us search for Thancred while exploring the area. |
| 314 | 310 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_06006_002880_YSHTOLA | The ship, we leave in your care. |
| 315 | 311 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_06006_002890_ALISAIE | Dragons? Here? |
| 316 | 312 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_06006_002900_METEION | What you see is a memory of a world that once was. |
| 317 | 313 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_06006_002910_METEION | A world suffering a slow death, whose denizens cried out for the release of oblivion. |
| 318 | 314 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_06006_002920_ALPHINAUD | What? Their world...is dead? |
| 319 | 315 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_06006_002930_METEION | It is. Not a single life remains upon that husk floating in the vast emptiness. |
| 320 | 316 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_06006_002940_METEION | These creatures are shadow and shade. Perpetuated only to suffuse dynamis with their unending lamentations. |
| 321 | 317 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_06006_002950_URIANGER | Our friend Thancred─where is he? |
| 322 | 318 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_06006_002960_METEION | A strange question. He is at your side, is he not? |
| 323 | 319 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_06006_002970_METEION | Oh yes─he is here, and there, and everywhere within this space. He would tell you himself if he had form to form words. |
| 324 | 320 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_06006_002980_METEION | Huh. Such loathing and uncertainty... You don't know why you still exist. |
| 325 | 321 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_06006_002990_METEION | In like manner to the oblivion I send, I tried to drown out your aether with dynamis. |
| 326 | 322 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_06006_003000_METEION | Beginning with this Thancred, who came at me despite being unable to breathe. |
| 327 | 323 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_06006_003010_METEION | Such a simple thing, unmaking men. In the blinking of an eye, he was gone. Didn't even have the chance to be transformed. |
| 328 | 324 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_06006_003020_METEION | Yet somehow, he managed to leave a sliver of himself behind. |
| 329 | 325 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_06006_003030_METEION | What you call...the heart...or perhaps the soul? In his final moment, he...cried out from it. A single word... |
| 330 | 326 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_06006_003040_METEION | “Survive...” |
| 331 | 327 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_06006_003050_URIANGER | |
| 332 | 328 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_06006_003060_METEION | That wish proved stronger than the despair that ruled here. It overpowered it, causing this space to be remade. |
| 333 | 329 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_06006_003070_METEION | Into a place you can perceive, and where life can endure. |
| 334 | 330 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_06006_003080_METEION | That you draw breath is proof that his soul lives on. For how long, however, remains to be seen. |
| 335 | 331 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_06006_003090_ESTINIEN | Well then, we should hurry and tend to business! |
| 336 | 332 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_06006_003100_ESTINIEN | Huh!? |
| 337 | 333 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_06006_003110_METEION | It's futile. You will never reach the true me. |
| 338 | 334 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_06006_003120_METEION | I told you. Emotions dictate reality in this space. Such changes as you might work will not alter its nature. |
| 339 | 335 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_06006_003130_METEION | You may see, but you cannot touch. Walk, but not advance. |
| 340 | 336 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_06006_003140_ESTINIEN | Bah... |
| 341 | 337 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_06006_003150_GRAHATIA | Meteion holds too much sway here. How do we contend with a foe who can unmake us on a whim? |
| 342 | 338 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_06006_003160_URIANGER | I do not know...but Thancred gave his life that we might come this far. We must press on. |
| 343 | 339 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_06006_003170_YSHTOLA | Agreed. We cannot turn tail here. Not without something to show for our comrade's sacrifice. |
| 344 | 340 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_06006_003180_URIANGER | He remaineth as he was when I first approached. Entombed in melancholy. |
| 345 | 341 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_06006_003190_ALPHINAUD | I see... Perhaps I could─ |
| 346 | 342 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_06006_003200_ESTINIEN | I'll handle this. |
| 347 | 343 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_06006_003210_ESTINIEN | So. Waiting to die like all the others, are you? |
| 348 | 344 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_06006_003220_TIREDDRAGON | Aye. Our pride is crushed, and our souls corrupted. The winds are stilled, and the heavens offer no comfort. |
| 349 | 345 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_06006_003230_TIREDDRAGON | There is nothing left for our kind. Our long lives a curse as we await the end. Still as stone we shall become... |
| 350 | 346 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_06006_003240_ESTINIEN | So you say, yet your kind has found a new beginning on our star. |
| 351 | 347 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_06006_003250_ESTINIEN | One of you braved the expanse, bearing with him a clutch of eggs. They and their children now rule our skies, their song heard by all. |
| 352 | 348 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_06006_003260_TIREDDRAGON | Our kin...on another star? |
| 353 | 349 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_06006_003270_TIREDDRAGON | And yet...upon thee do I smell the blood of my brethren. |
| 354 | 350 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_06006_003280_TIREDDRAGON | Were they drawn into discord and war on their new home? |
| 355 | 351 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_06006_003290_ESTINIEN | They were. They suffered much, and repaid their suffering in kind. |
| 356 | 352 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_06006_003300_TIREDDRAGON | |
| 357 | 353 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_06006_003310_TIREDDRAGON | It mattereth not whither we fly. |
| 358 | 354 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_06006_003320_TIREDDRAGON | Ever will a sanguine ocean await us. Ever will retribution's wheel turn. |
| 359 | 355 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_06006_003330_TIREDDRAGON | And so, on the last of my pride as a dragon, I break free of this wheel. |
| 360 | 356 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_06006_003340_TIREDDRAGON | I renounce conflict! Exile myself from the other, never again to be touched by the flames of hatred! |
| 361 | 357 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_06006_003350_ESTINIEN | Had your brethren made the selfsame choice, my family might still be alive. |
| 362 | 358 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_06006_003360_ESTINIEN | Yet lasting peace does not come to those who simply retreat from conflict. |
| 363 | 359 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_06006_003370_ESTINIEN | No, you must be willing to confront it. To stare into the face of your foe...and see yourself in him. |
| 364 | 360 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_06006_003380_ESTINIEN | Only then can you break the cycle of torment and tragedy. This lesson, a dear friend taught me at the risk of his life. |
| 365 | 361 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_06006_003390_ESTINIEN | There is no nobility in your “penance.” You wallow in self-pity. |
| 366 | 362 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_06006_003400_ESTINIEN | And after everything we've endured, we will not let you stop us! |
| 367 | 363 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_06006_003410_ALPHINAUD | Estinien! |
| 368 | 364 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_06006_003420_ESTINIEN | Stay back! |
| 369 | 365 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_06006_003430_TIREDDRAGON | We tire of war... We tire of turmoil... |
| 370 | 366 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_06006_003440_TIREDDRAGON | Dignity tarnished, crimson stained... |
| 371 | 367 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_06006_003450_TIREDDRAGON | Our misery, our shame... Too much to bear... |
| 372 | 368 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_06006_003460_TIREDDRAGON | Release us, from war... From life... |
| 373 | 369 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_06006_003470_ESTINIEN | I see... Theirs is the emotion that bars our way. |
| 374 | 370 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_06006_003480_ESTINIEN | Hmph. |
| 375 | 371 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_06006_003490_ESTINIEN | The rest is up to you. |
| 376 | 372 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_06006_003500_ALISAIE | No... Not Estinien too... |
| 377 | 373 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_06006_003510_GRAHATIA | There's a wind... |
| 378 | 374 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_06006_003520_ALPHINAUD | He's opened the way for us... |
| 379 | 375 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_06006_003530_ALPHINAUD | Sacrificed himself to remake this place, like Thancred did... |
| 380 | 376 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_06006_003540_ALPHINAUD | |
| 381 | 377 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_06006_003550_ALISAIE | Oh, Alphinaud... |
| 382 | 378 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_06006_003560_ALPHINAUD | Come...let us follow the wind. It will not lead us astray. He would not. |
| 383 | 379 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_06006_003570_YSHTOLA | Please, continue. Tell us about this truth you discovered. |
| 384 | 380 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_06006_003580_EAA | Very well. Bear in mind, however, that the purpose of this conversation is not to impart scholarly knowledge. For such requires that you comprehend the subject matter─which you will not. |
| 385 | 381 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_06006_003590_EAA | We will forgo the intricacies of our scientific methodology and deal only with the conclusion─the end of our society, and our world. |
| 386 | 382 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_06006_003600_EAB | We acknowledge, with regret, that your star is in the midst of the same panic-induced cataclysm that befell Deneb III. |
| 387 | 383 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_06006_003610_EAB | As such, in order to avoid causing undue distress, we will refrain from explicitly stating how much time you have remaining. |
| 388 | 384 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_06006_003620_YSHTOLA | You are entirely too kind. I pray you recount your tale as you see fit. |
| 389 | 385 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_06006_003630_EAA | In the beginning, the universe was but a tiny particle. Then suddenly, this particle began to expand. |
| 390 | 386 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_06006_003640_EAA | Having remained entirely in the bounds of your star, the phenomenon may be difficult for your kind to grasp, but this expansion has since continued unabated. |
| 391 | 387 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_06006_003650_EAB | Speculating that the universe could not grow indefinitely, we sought to learn what might occur─and made a worrying discovery. |
| 392 | 388 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_06006_003660_EAB | The stars will continue to spread apart, as will their finite thermal energies. |
| 393 | 389 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_06006_003670_EAB | Eventually, all heavenly bodies will grow cold and freeze. No new stars will be born, and the universe will enter unto an eternal ice age. |
| 394 | 390 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_06006_003680_EAA | In hopes of proving that this determination was erroneous, we scrutinized our research from all angles, even as we sought to avert the everlasting winter. |
| 395 | 391 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_06006_003690_EAA | The endeavor proved fruitless. So infamously so, in fact, that it became synonymous with vain effort. |
| 396 | 392 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_06006_003700_EAA | The universe as we know it would end, and there is no way to prevent it. |
| 397 | 393 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_06006_003710_EAB | Beneath the weight of this knowledge, our society stagnated. Though we had time still, it was a “cold” comfort. |
| 398 | 394 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_06006_003720_EAB | Why strive for anything when desolation is assured? When our wealth of wisdom, accumulated since the dawning of our kind, would be forever lost? |
| 399 | 395 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_06006_003730_EAB | No civilization would rise from our ashes. No scholar recover our knowledge. In silence unbroken, naught would stir. |
| 400 | 396 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_06006_003740_EAA | Intellect was once our pride. Overnight, it became our shame. Our works monuments to futility. |
| 401 | 397 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_06006_003750_EAA | Immortality, our greatest invention, became a source of suffering. Rather than suffer on, many chose to unmake themselves by means of aetheric exsanguinaters. |
| 402 | 398 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_06006_003760_EAA | Etched upon these stones are the testaments of such souls. Though many left no words at all, thinking it a pointless gesture. |
| 403 | 399 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_06006_003770_EAB | Once we have obtained vessels of flesh, we likewise intend to vanish. |
| 404 | 400 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_06006_003780_EAA | If you understand this─understand aught of our tale─you will abandon your quest for knowledge. |
| 405 | 401 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_06006_003790_EAA | Ignorance truly is bliss. If you would cling to your illusory happiness, remain primitive and pure. It is the only way. |
| 406 | 402 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_06006_003800_YSHTOLA | |
| 407 | 403 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_06006_003810_YSHTOLA | So that's your story. |
| 408 | 404 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_06006_003820_YSHTOLA | While I appreciate your advice, I will not heed it. |
| 409 | 405 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_06006_003830_YSHTOLA | Convinced though you may be of this truth, it is yours and not mine. Indeed truth, I have ever believed, is in the eye of the beholder. |
| 410 | 406 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_06006_003840_EAA | Are you suggesting that we have reached a faulty conclusion? That our science failed us? |
| 411 | 407 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_06006_003850_YSHTOLA | Hardly. As you yourself said, the subject matter is beyond my comprehension. |
| 412 | 408 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_06006_003860_YSHTOLA | And that, I accept, is true. I do not possess the knowledge to prove or disprove your conclusion. |
| 413 | 409 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_06006_003870_YSHTOLA | In my mortal years, I doubt I could even approach the wisdom of the Ea. |
| 414 | 410 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_06006_003880_YSHTOLA | But of one thing am I absolutely certain: I would <Emphasis>not</Emphasis> be happier in ignorance. |
| 415 | 411 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_06006_003890_ALISAIE | Y'shtola, no! You mustn't! |
| 416 | 412 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_06006_003900_YSHTOLA | The most important lesson I've learned...is that learning isn't simply passing one's eyes over words. |
| 417 | 413 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_06006_003910_YSHTOLA | Nay... 'Tis when understood for oneself that knowledge attains its true value. |
| 418 | 414 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_06006_003920_YSHTOLA | This is what has sustained me. Driven me onward in joy and wonder. In anger and sorrow. |
| 419 | 415 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_06006_003930_YSHTOLA | The universe may end, and all may be for naught. But I will live as I always have. |
| 420 | 416 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_06006_003940_YSHTOLA | I will always seek out new knowledge. And no conclusion of yours, no matter how grim, can dampen my desire. |
| 421 | 417 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_06006_003950_EAA | I suppose it is only to be expected. Their feeble minds cannot fathom the terrifying gravity of it all. |
| 422 | 418 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_06006_003960_EAB | But worry not. We consider it our duty to enlighten you, and we will not stop until you grasp the full extent of our despair! |
| 423 | 419 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_06006_003970_YSHTOLA | Keep calm, and listen well. |
| 424 | 420 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_06006_003980_YSHTOLA | Though my body will soon dissipate, there may be a way to restore it. |
| 425 | 421 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_06006_003990_YSHTOLA | Azem's magick. So long as our souls remain, you can use it to summon us back. |
| 426 | 422 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_06006_004000_YSHTOLA | But you mustn't, for it would mean losing our way forward. This, I only reveal so that you can promise not to invoke the magick. |
| 427 | 423 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_06006_004010_YSHTOLA | We came here knowing what victory may cost, so press on. Press on, and do not look back. |
| 428 | 424 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_06006_004020_URIANGER | I shall join thee. As subterfuge is not required, thou shalt not suffer for mine absence. |
| 429 | 425 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_06006_004030_YSHTOLA | Urianger... |
| 430 | 426 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_06006_004040_URIANGER | My resolve hath never been as strong as thine. Full oft have I wavered in my decisions, and afterwards been stricken with regret. |
| 431 | 427 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_06006_004050_URIANGER | In spite of this, I may still stand with my comrades, supporting them as they attempt the greatest of feats. |
| 432 | 428 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_06006_004060_URIANGER | This truth, I have learned in the course of our journey. |
| 433 | 429 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_06006_004065_URIANGER | And many though my shortcomings may be, I may also claim to excel in prophecies. My studies into which have granted me the flexibility of mind needed to bend this malleable reality. |
| 434 | 430 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_06006_004070_URIANGER | Thus shall I hope... That thou mayest have the strength to resist, and our comrades the strength to continue. |
| 435 | 431 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_06006_004080_YSHTOLA | With you to urge us on, how could we possibly fail? |
| 436 | 432 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_06006_004090_METEION | What's this? An extinguished civilization...rekindled? |
| 437 | 433 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_06006_004100_ALISAIE | That's right! Our quest doesn't end here. We'll press on...and we <Emphasis>will</Emphasis> find you! |
| 438 | 434 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_06006_004110_METEION | There. That's where you'll find me. |
| 439 | 435 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_06006_004120_GRAHATIA | Is that...another star? |
| 440 | 436 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_06006_004130_METEION | Of the stars we visited, most were already devoid of life. And where there was life still, the inhabitants wished for death. |
| 441 | 437 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_06006_004140_METEION | But even death, we learned, isn't truly the end. It is but a part of the cycle of rebirth. |
| 442 | 438 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_06006_004150_METEION | Souls return to the star─or in its absence, a larger flow. And eventually they are reborn. |
| 443 | 439 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_06006_004160_METEION | Alive again, to know suffering anew... |
| 444 | 440 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_06006_004170_METEION | True salvation lies not in dying. It lies in not being born. |
| 445 | 441 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_06006_004180_METEION | This is the gift I would give to you. To all life on beautiful Etheirys. |
| 446 | 442 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_06006_004190_METEION | To that end, we created an egg wherein life cannot quicken─that dead sun. |
| 447 | 443 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_06006_004200_METEION | Attain it if you can. Before your friends' emotions fade away─along with their protection. |
| 448 | 444 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_06006_004210_ALISAIE | Well, I'm out of ideas... |
| 449 | 445 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_06006_004220_ALPHINAUD | As am I. Operating such consoles is trying enough, but if we can't even activate it... |
| 450 | 446 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_06006_004230_GRAHATIA | Perhaps there is a way. |
| 451 | 447 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_06006_004240_GRAHATIA | First, consider the world that has been recreated here. |
| 452 | 448 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_06006_004250_GRAHATIA | Its inhabitants were machines who gathered combat data to enhance themselves. And among the many wars they waged, the most notable was that against the dragons. |
| 453 | 449 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_06006_004260_GRAHATIA | As you've doubtless surmised, I believe this was the home world of Omega. |
| 454 | 450 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_06006_004270_GRAHATIA | Cid built a jamming device to defeat it. A device which generated massive bursts of lightning, its sole weakness. |
| 455 | 451 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_06006_004280_GRAHATIA | As you've doubtless surmised, I believe this was the home world of Omega. |
| 456 | 452 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_06006_004290_GRAHATIA | According to the records I read in the future, it possessed a single weakness: lightning. |
| 457 | 453 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_06006_004300_GRAHATIA | The significance of these details may be lost on you now, but they lead me to believe this was the home world of Omega. |
| 458 | 454 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_06006_004310_GRAHATIA | According to the records I read in the future, it possessed a single weakness: lightning. |
| 459 | 455 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_06006_004320_GRAHATIA | The significance of these details may be lost on you now, but they lead me to believe this was the home world of Omega. |
| 460 | 456 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_06006_004330_GRAHATIA | Aye, I speak of the ancient weapon. The one which the Alliance unleashed upon Shinryu. |
| 461 | 457 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_06006_004340_GRAHATIA | I will spare you the long story, but according to the records I read in the future, it possessed a single weakness: lightning. |
| 462 | 458 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_06006_004350_ALISAIE | That's all well and good, but what does that─ ...Wait, you're not thinking to strike the console with lightning, are you? |
| 463 | 459 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_06006_004360_GRAHATIA | As a matter of fact, I am. Ask yourselves this: why would an entity as puissant as Omega not be designed to suppress the effects of lightning? |
| 464 | 460 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_06006_004370_ALPHINAUD | Because it relies upon it─or something akin to it─as a source of energy. |
| 465 | 461 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_06006_004380_GRAHATIA | My thoughts exactly. And there is a good chance the same is true of the Omicrons and their devices. |
| 466 | 462 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_06006_004390_GRAHATIA | So, shall I cast caution to the wind and try something reckless and dramatic? |
| 467 | 463 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_06006_Q7_000_001_NONE_VOICE | What will you say? |
| 468 | 464 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_06006_A7_000_001_NONE_VOICE | Have at it! |
| 469 | 465 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_06006_A7_000_002_NONE_VOICE | I'm not sure this is a good idea. |
| 470 | 466 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_06006_A7_000_003_NONE_VOICE | Or I could use my custom-made Omega Jammer! |
| 471 | 467 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_06006_004400_GRAHATIA | Very well, here I go! |
| 472 | 468 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_06006_004410_GRAHATIA | Worry not, I will be careful. And if it fails, we can think of something else. |
| 473 | 469 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_06006_004420_GRAHATIA | You still have it!? Cid and Nero's legendary device, which brought low the superweapon Omega!? |
| 474 | 470 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_06006_004430_GRAHATIA | Wait... The actual device was much too big to lug around, so you must have only the control module. And there I was getting all excited... |
| 475 | 471 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_06006_004440_GRAHATIA | Never mind. An old-fashioned spell will suffice. |
| 476 | 472 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_06006_004450_ALISAIE | It...it worked! |

| 481 | 477 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_06006_004500_GRAHATIA | Wait! We have questions for you! |
| 482 | 478 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_06006_004510_GRAHATIA | Of late, no mission orders have been issued. Why not? Has there been some manner of trouble? |
| 483 | 479 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_06006_004520_MASTERSTIGMAONE | (-Sir-)Reply: the extended operations unit has yet to determine guidelines for future assignments. |
| 484 | 480 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_06006_004530_MASTERSTIGMAONE | (-Sir-)All strategies are calculated, devised, and actioned in accordance with said guidelines. |

| 486 | 482 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_06006_004550_ALPHINAUD | Can you tell us why the extended operations unit hasn't yet determined the guidelines? |
| 487 | 483 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_06006_004560_MASTERSTIGMAONE | (-Sir-)Unable to comply. Information unavailable or access restricted. |
| 488 | 484 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_06006_004570_ALPHINAUD | In that case, is it possible for us to communicate directly with the unit? |
| 489 | 485 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_06006_004580_MASTERSTIGMAONE | (-Sir-)...Access denied. Unable to establish connection. |
| 490 | 486 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_06006_004590_ALISAIE | Is there anything you can tell us? Have there been any abnormalities, like a threat to the star or widespread unrest? |
| 491 | 487 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_06006_004600_MASTERSTIGMAONE | (-Sir-)Reply: negative. All citizens continue to operate at maximum efficiency. |

| 494 | 490 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_06006_004630_GRAHATIA | I could activate it again, but I doubt it would be productive. What do you think? |
| 495 | 491 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_06006_004640_ALISAIE | If all the Omicrons really were running as efficiently as it claimed, then I doubt they were hoping for life here to end. |
| 496 | 492 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_06006_004650_ALISAIE | As this Sir told us, there just haven't been any new instructions, and everyone is standing by. |
| 497 | 493 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_06006_004660_ALPHINAUD | Should be standing by, at any rate. If there are those that are neglecting their duties, perhaps we can glean a clue from them. |
| 498 | 494 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_06006_004670_ALPHINAUD | I propose we take another look around, and also try to find the operations unit. |
| 499 | 495 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_06006_004680_M017 | As you have surmised, I am part of the shared intelligence of Stigma-1. |
| 500 | 496 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_06006_004690_M017 | It is─was my charge to determine the optimal path to achieving our prime function. |
| 501 | 497 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_06006_004700_M017 | This body had been abandoned by its former owner, and lay unused. |
| 502 | 498 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_06006_004710_M017 | I took it and abandoned my own─and with it my duty. |
| 503 | 499 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_06006_004720_GRAHATIA | May we ask why you did this? From what we gather, it seems to be a personal matter. |
| 504 | 500 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_06006_004730_M017 | Our kind did not always look as we do now. Long ago, we possessed frail and feeble bodies. |
| 505 | 501 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_06006_004740_M017 | Beleaguered by stronger races, our ancestors took to augmenting their flesh in order to defend themselves. |
| 506 | 502 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_06006_004750_M017 | What began with limited parts eventually spread to the whole body. And at last, a means was discovered to convert the mind into data, rendering even the brain obsolete. |
| 507 | 503 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_06006_004760_M017 | Such complete mechanical beings were called the Omicrons. And by their might, we came to reign supreme over the star. |
| 508 | 504 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_06006_004770_M017 | But even then, we did not feel secure. For we knew that the universe was home to civilizations aside from our own─civilizations that may be stronger still than us. |
| 509 | 505 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_06006_004780_M017 | Rather than risk becoming the subjugated, we chose to become the subjugator. We began our conquest of the stars, that we might acquire the resources and knowledge we needed to reign supreme. |
| 510 | 506 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_06006_004790_M017 | We were successful in that endeavor. So powerful did we become, we could lay low even the mighty dragons. |
| 511 | 507 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_06006_004800_M017 | But then something unexpected happened. I began experiencing an error: I could no longer determine an optimal path. |
| 512 | 508 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_06006_004810_ALISAIE | You were malfunctioning? |
| 513 | 509 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_06006_004820_M017 | I performed numerous full system scans, each time finding no issues. Yet the error persisted... |
| 514 | 510 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_06006_004830_M017 | It was then that I speculated: what would happen if we grew so powerful as to have no equal? |
| 515 | 511 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_06006_004840_M017 | To become stronger was essential to our existence. Our every action has been in service to this objective. |
| 516 | 512 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_06006_004850_M017 | But if nothing lies beyond this, can it be truly said that it was essential? |
| 517 | 513 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_06006_004860_M017 | Have we been engaging only in wanton destruction? |
| 518 | 514 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_06006_004870_ALPHINAUD | You could find no threat to justify your purpose. |
| 519 | 515 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_06006_004880_M017 | The Omicrons will never leave this star. |
| 520 | 516 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_06006_004890_M017 | They will stand by until their reserves of energy are spent. For I have no path to offer them. None. |
| 521 | 517 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_06006_004900_GRAHATIA | It is not our place to pass judgment on the deeds of the Omicrons. |
| 522 | 518 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_06006_004910_GRAHATIA | But surely this does not have to spell the end of your people? |
| 523 | 519 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_06006_004920_GRAHATIA | With your power and knowledge, the possibilities are endless. Why not seek out a new purpose? |
| 524 | 520 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_06006_004930_M017 | That is impossible. |
| 525 | 521 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_06006_004940_M017 | In the beginning, we had a higher purpose than our pursuit of power. |
| 526 | 522 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_06006_004950_M017 | But we lost sight of it when we so irrevocably altered our fundamental forms. |
| 527 | 523 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_06006_004960_M017 | When we cast aside our flesh, so too did we cast aside all that defined us. Nothing remains of who we once were. |
| 528 | 524 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_06006_004970_M017 | I have no aspirations. No longer can I dream. The vital spark is lost. |
| 529 | 525 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_06006_004980_M017 | Lost amidst circuitry and code and commands... |
| 530 | 526 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_06006_004990_GRAHATIA | |
| 531 | 527 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_06006_005000_GRAHATIA | I believe I know how to overcome this despair. |
| 532 | 528 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_06006_005010_GRAHATIA | The words are ready in my mind, but ere I speak them... |
| 533 | 529 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_06006_005020_GRAHATIA | I want you to make me a promise. |
| 534 | 530 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_06006_005030_GRAHATIA | Be it across time or space, our promises have always connected us. And so I ask that you indulge me once more, that this won't be the end. |
| 535 | 531 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_06006_Q8_000_001_NONE_VOICE | What will you say? |
| 536 | 532 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_06006_A8_000_001_NONE_VOICE | You say it, I'll do it. |
| 537 | 533 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_06006_A8_000_002_NONE_VOICE | I can't. Not again. |
| 538 | 534 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_06006_005040_GRAHATIA | Is that so? In that case, I won't hold back. |
| 539 | 535 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_06006_005050_GRAHATIA | Forcing you through this again is the last thing I want, and I'm sorry... |
| 540 | 536 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_06006_005060_GRAHATIA | But we've never broken a promise to each other. So I ask that you have faith in us, and hear my request. |
| 541 | 537 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_06006_005070_GRAHATIA | First, I want to visit Ishgard with you. Properly. |
| 542 | 538 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_06006_005080_GRAHATIA | We scarcely had time to look around last time. I should like it very much if you could show me the sights. |
| 543 | 539 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_06006_005090_GRAHATIA | Next, you must regale me with your greatest adventures. In the places where you lived them, if possible. |
| 544 | 540 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_06006_005100_GRAHATIA | I may have read about all your deeds, but there is no substitute for a firsthand account. |
| 545 | 541 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_06006_005110_GRAHATIA | And last but not least, a new adventure together. Unlike any we've experienced before. |
| 546 | 542 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_06006_005120_GRAHATIA | We'll travel the lands, cross the seas, and take to the skies upon the eternal wind─and it will be marvelous! It will... |
| 547 | 543 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_06006_005130_GRAHATIA | If you would humor me a moment─when we awaken each morning, how can we prove that we're the same individual who retired the night before? |
| 548 | 544 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_06006_005140_GRAHATIA | Through the remembrance of past events, we might say. We have our memories. Yet there are times when we forget, or recall incorrectly. |
| 549 | 545 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_06006_005150_GRAHATIA | What of our bodies, then? It is the same one, we might say. Yet technically speaking, as living beings, our bodies are constantly changing. It will never be as it was at an earlier point in time. |
| 550 | 546 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_06006_005160_GRAHATIA | Our souls are no more immutable. On our star, people are known to inherit the souls of others, yet they are decidedly different beings. |
| 551 | 547 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_06006_005170_GRAHATIA | For my part, I've subjected my totality to much and more. I've made my body into an extension of a tower. Blended my soul and memories with those of another self. |
| 552 | 548 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_06006_005180_GRAHATIA | And each time, I would ask myself: what is it that makes me, me? |
| 553 | 549 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_06006_005190_M017 | Were you able to determine an answer? |
| 554 | 550 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_06006_005200_GRAHATIA | No. But that doesn't mean I'm confused. It simply means I'm the same as everyone else. |
| 555 | 551 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_06006_005210_GRAHATIA | So I posit this: who we were need not prescribe what we now hold in our hearts. |
| 556 | 552 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_06006_005220_GRAHATIA | Whatever came before, what matters most is the present. |
| 557 | 553 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_06006_005230_GRAHATIA | For me, that is being here with my friends. Full proud of how much we've grown together. |
| 558 | 554 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_06006_005240_GRAHATIA | So I urge you to not give up. Heed your heart's desire, and hope that the future you long for shall be realized! |
| 559 | 555 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_06006_005250_M017 | I...cannot. We cannot. |
| 560 | 556 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_06006_005260_M017 | We cannot understand desire, nor comprehend hope. We do not know how to create such things. |
| 561 | 557 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_06006_005270_GRAHATIA | We're not unalike, you and I... I too have struggled to find the courage to express and embrace my wants. |
| 562 | 558 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_06006_005280_GRAHATIA | If you like, I will tell you a tale. A tale of a world on the brink. Of a people who never gave up on the future. |
| 563 | 559 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_06006_005290_GRAHATIA | Of a man who realized his grandest dreams, and then awakened to a grander reality. |
| 564 | 560 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_06006_005300_ALISAIE | G'raha! |
| 565 | 561 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_06006_005310_ALISAIE | You idiot... Just once... Just <Emphasis>once</Emphasis> stay with us to the end... |
| 566 | 562 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_06006_005320_ALPHINAUD | Did you find anything? |
| 567 | 563 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_06006_005330_ALISAIE | No. This place is completely deserted, and I can't see how we're supposed to move on from here. |
| 568 | 564 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_06006_005340_ALPHINAUD | Neither can I. It's quite the quandary... |
| 569 | 565 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_06006_005350_ALPHINAUD | There are no denizens to bar our path, yet there is no way forward. |
| 570 | 566 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_06006_005360_ALISAIE | For another mystery, we did find signs of very recent life. You'd swear everyone just vanished into thin air. |
| 571 | 567 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_06006_005370_ALISAIE | I wonder, how many ruined worlds like this has Meteion seen? |
| 572 | 568 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_06006_005380_ALPHINAUD | Ah! |
| 573 | 569 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_06006_005390_ALPHINAUD | Could it be...? Yes... Yes, I believe I may have puzzled this out. |
| 574 | 570 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_06006_005400_ALPHINAUD | Despite how it appears, it's no different this time. There is someone here who has wished for this ruin. |
| 575 | 571 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_06006_005410_ALPHINAUD | And I believe that, together, Alisaie and I can overcome their will. |
| 576 | 572 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_06006_Q9_000_001_NONE_VOICE | What will you say? |
| 577 | 573 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_06006_A9_000_001_NONE_VOICE | No! I won't allow it! |
| 578 | 574 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_06006_A9_000_002_NONE_VOICE | I promised your parents I'd keep you safe! |
| 579 | 575 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_06006_A9_000_003_NONE_VOICE | Stop─not another word. |
| 580 | 576 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_06006_005420_ALPHINAUD | I'm afraid it has to be done. For our comrades, for everyone on Etheirys...and for myself. |
| 581 | 577 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_06006_005430_ALPHINAUD | I know. I know... |
| 582 | 578 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_06006_005440_ALPHINAUD | But if there is a chance this will work, then I would take it. For everyone...and for myself. |
| 583 | 579 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_06006_005450_ALPHINAUD | I'm sorry, but there is a chance, and I must seize it. For everyone...and for myself. |
| 584 | 580 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_06006_005460_ALPHINAUD | I will not pretend otherwise. I have my fears. |
| 585 | 581 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_06006_005470_ALPHINAUD | Not for myself, but for you. The last to remain. |
| 586 | 582 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_06006_005480_ALPHINAUD | You are no stranger to carrying the burden of others. |
| 587 | 583 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_06006_005490_ALPHINAUD | But I can only imagine how heavy the weight would be this time. |
| 588 | 584 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_06006_005500_ALPHINAUD | As your friend, I cannot bear the thought of making you suffer so. |
| 589 | 585 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_06006_005510_ALISAIE | Then why suggest such a thing!? |
| 590 | 586 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_06006_005520_ALISAIE | It's too much to ask of anyone─even <If(PlayerParameter(4))>her<Else/>him</If>! |
| 591 | 587 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_06006_005530_ALISAIE | Why must <If(PlayerParameter(4))>she<Else/>he</If> be the one? Why must <If(PlayerParameter(4))>she<Else/>he</If> fight alone? |
| 592 | 588 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_06006_005540_ALISAIE | More than a hero, <If(PlayerParameter(4))>she<Else/>he</If>'s a dear friend. |
| 593 | 589 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_06006_005550_ALISAIE | Not only to us, but to so many others. There are so many people in the world who care for you, and yet... |
| 594 | 590 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_06006_005560_ALISAIE | And yet... |

| 596 | 592 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_06006_005580_ALPHINAUD | Alisaie. I have an idea. |
| 597 | 593 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_06006_005590_ALPHINAUD | Given the nature of this realm, it may be possible to do more than unbar our friend's path. We might also pave <If(PlayerParameter(4))>her<Else/>him</If> a new one. |
| 598 | 594 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_06006_005600_ALPHINAUD | For instance... |
| 599 | 595 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_06006_005610_ALPHINAUD | A path where he finds happiness at journey's end. |
| 600 | 596 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_06006_005620_ALPHINAUD | A path where she finds happiness at journey's end. |
| 601 | 597 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_06006_005630_ALPHINAUD | This much, I think we can believe with the utmost conviction. No matter how deep our despair. |
| 602 | 598 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_06006_005640_ALPHINAUD | So please, believe in us too. And press on. |
| 603 | 599 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_06006_005650_ALPHINAUD | Thank you... |
| 604 | 600 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_06006_005660_ALPHINAUD | What are you─!? |
| 605 | 601 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_06006_005670_ALISAIE | If the plan's decided, then let's not dally. |
| 606 | 602 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_06006_005680_METEION | Ah, there you are. It was as I said, was it not? |
| 607 | 603 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_06006_005690_ALPHINAUD | It was. We couldn't find anyone. |
| 608 | 604 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_06006_005700_ALPHINAUD | But this place isn't entirely deserted, is it? You are here. |
| 609 | 605 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_06006_005710_ALPHINAUD | You sought out a star of promise and found a ruined husk. |
| 610 | 606 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_06006_005720_ALPHINAUD | Like us, you explored the devastation. Like us, you were stricken. |
| 611 | 607 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_06006_005730_ALPHINAUD | Horrified by the thought that so many lives could be snuffed out as if they were worth nothing. |
| 612 | 608 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_06006_005740_ALPHINAUD | And the thought that you would have to bear the terrible tidings to Hermes. |
| 613 | 609 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_06006_005750_ALPHINAUD | That which you saw and felt, you shared with your sisters. As did they share their own grim findings with you. |
| 614 | 610 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_06006_005760_ALPHINAUD | Overcome by the pervasive despair of these stars, some of you inadvertently ushered their peoples to their ends. |
| 615 | 611 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_06006_005770_ALPHINAUD | Knowing the horrors you know, anyone would feel the same. They would fear what lies ahead, and struggle to move forward. |
| 616 | 612 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_06006_005780_METEION | Fear... I had forgotten that such a thing existed, so focused have I been on shepherding despair. |
| 617 | 613 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_06006_005790_ALPHINAUD | If you can remember, then you can still face and overcome your own fear. |
| 618 | 614 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_06006_005800_METEION | Why would I bother with such an insignificant emotion? If the despair I command is as a raging river, then fear is but a trickling stream. |
| 619 | 615 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_06006_005810_METEION | It can do nothing to alter my flow. |
| 620 | 616 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_06006_005820_METEION | You spoke with the Ea, yes? Heard their tale of what awaits the universe? |
| 621 | 617 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_06006_005830_METEION | It's true. The stars grow colder and more distant. Eventually all will enjoy frozen solitude. |
| 622 | 618 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_06006_005840_METEION | Using the power of dynamis, I am hastening that process. |
| 623 | 619 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_06006_005850_METEION | In so doing, nothing will be born ever again. Everyone will remain dead. |
| 624 | 620 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_06006_005860_METEION | Alas, it will take time for that to happen. So in mercy I sent you my gift, to spare you needless suffering. |
| 625 | 621 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_06006_005870_METEION | Don't worry. Even if no living witnesses remain to mark the event, I'll make certain that Etheirys has a proper end. |
| 626 | 622 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_06006_005880_ALISAIE | For all the power you wield, you're more fearful than the familiar you used to be. |
| 627 | 623 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_06006_005890_ALISAIE | That Meteion feared simply to move forward, but your fear is such that you've given up on everything. |
| 628 | 624 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_06006_005900_ALISAIE | I know it well. That sense of defeat. I've tasted my fair share of it. |
| 629 | 625 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_06006_005910_ALISAIE | But as many times as we've fallen down, we've learned how to pick ourselves up and carry on. |
| 630 | 626 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_06006_005920_ALISAIE | We take each other's hand. Share in each other's courage. Follow in each other's footsteps. And turn sorrow into strength! |
| 631 | 627 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_06006_005930_ALPHINAUD | There are times when we fail. We bear wounds that do not heal. |
| 632 | 628 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_06006_005940_ALPHINAUD | But these experiences are part of life, and they make us stronger! |
| 633 | 629 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_06006_005950_ALPHINAUD | (-Alphinaud and Alisaie-)We rise, fall, and rise again! |
| 634 | 630 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_06006_005960_ALISAIE | We rise, fall, and rise again! |
| 635 | 631 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_06006_005970_ALISAIE | Don't worry about us. You must take the next step, and all the rest after that. |

| 644 | 640 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_06006_006050_SYSTEM_NONE_VOICE | In this city devoid of life, you sense the presence of another... |
| 645 | 641 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_06006_006060_SYSTEM_NONE_VOICE | The sorrow of a thousand thousand worlds weighs heavy. And yet you can walk on. |
| 646 | 642 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_06006_006070_METEION | Here the path ends. There is no way to reach our nest. |
| 647 | 643 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_06006_006080_METEION | I told you. Resignation and acceptance reign in this place. |
| 648 | 644 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_06006_006090_METEION | The rejection of life by those who came to curse it. |
| 649 | 645 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_06006_006100_METEION | Those whose dreams were unfulfilled. Whose prayers were unheard. Whose labors were unrewarded. |

| 652 | 648 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_06006_006130_METEION | You should have remained on Etheirys. |
| 653 | 649 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_06006_006140_METEION | Struggle will avail you naught, nor will it grant your comrades peace. |
| 654 | 650 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_06006_006150_METEION | Come, let me relieve you of your burden. You have suffered enough. |

| 660 | 656 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_06006_006200_AMON | After all these years...is this the answer I was hoping for? |
| 661 | 657 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_06006_006210_VENAS | So long as we remember, our fates remain ours to shape. |
| 662 | 658 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_06006_006220_HYTHLODAEUS | Perhaps when our time comes to return to the star, we shall remember these few days we have lost. |
| 663 | 659 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_06006_006230_EMETSELCH | Do not squander it. The legacy I leave you. |
| 664 | 660 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_06006_Q10_000_001_NONE_VOICE | What will you say? |
| 665 | 661 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_06006_A10_000_001_NONE_VOICE | I won't forsake our cause. |

| 668 | 664 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_06006_006250_EMETSELCH | (-???-)And to add insult to injury, I've been denied a sound rest, forced to watch this clamorous show. |
| 669 | 665 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_06006_006260_HYTHLODAEUS | (-???-)Oh come now, it's been a gripping tale. Unbreakable bonds and noble sacrifice, sprinkled with moments of levity to counterbalance the pathos. It's got it all. |
| 670 | 666 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_06006_006270_HYTHLODAEUS | (-???-)I for one would have been perfectly content to watch enraptured from the stalls... |
| 671 | 667 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_06006_006280_HYTHLODAEUS | But I won't say no to a bit part! |
| 672 | 668 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_06006_006290_METEION | What are you? |
| 673 | 669 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_06006_006300_EMETSELCH | Half-faded souls of the dead. Isn't it painfully obvious? |
| 674 | 670 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_06006_006310_EMETSELCH | Worry not─we haven't the power to defeat you. Nor is it our duty to do so. Not anymore. |
| 675 | 671 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_06006_006320_EMETSELCH | That being said, we do have a score to settle. |
| 676 | 672 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_06006_006330_EMETSELCH | So, here I am, Venat. I suppose you needed me to tie it all together, these frayed threads of our history─but knowing you, I suspect there's a joke in it too. Oh yes, I can imagine you gloating over my forgetfulness. |
| 677 | 673 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_06006_006340_EMETSELCH | Were I feeling charitable, I might assume you had left room for the possibility of this outcome. |
| 678 | 674 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_06006_006350_EMETSELCH | Even so, you'll get no applause from me. A single gesture will not lighten the burden I've had to bear. |
| 679 | 675 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_06006_006360_EMETSELCH | Still, you must be commended. Our methods would not have brought mankind this far. |
| 680 | 676 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_06006_006370_EMETSELCH | And so, as a show of respect to the last of us, I make this declaration. |
| 681 | 677 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_06006_006380_EMETSELCH | You will not end our journey! |
| 682 | 678 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_06006_006390_EMETSELCH | That is our answer! The answer of all lives of Etheirys, past and present! |
| 683 | 679 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_06006_006400_HYTHLODAEUS | As you've called us to the stage, so shall we perform. And creation magicks never fail to please. |
| 684 | 680 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_06006_006410_HYTHLODAEUS | Drawing upon the hopes of your comrades, we will make for you a new path. |
| 685 | 681 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_06006_006420_EMETSELCH | What form said path takes depends on you. So focus─focus and envision that which rejects the claim that you cannot attain your goal! |
| 686 | 682 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_06006_006430_HYTHLODAEUS | Ours is the wisdom to weave the fabric of reality... |
| 687 | 683 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_06006_006440_HYTHLODAEUS | Ours is the power to create! |
| 688 | 684 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_06006_006450_HERMES | Meteion. |
| 689 | 685 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_06006_006460_HERMES | Though I gave you these wings to soar the heavens, I did not teach you how to walk the earth. So loath was I to bind another living being. |
| 690 | 686 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_06006_006470_HERMES | In the course of your long journey, you will learn from those you meet. Learn to walk and run and so much more. |
| 691 | 687 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_06006_006480_HERMES | A flower. |
| 692 | 688 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_06006_006490_HERMES | Yes. Upon your return, I will gift you a beautiful flower. |
| 693 | 689 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_06006_006500_EMETSELCH | These Elpis blooms serve as proof that this realm is not utterly devoid of hope. No more can you deny its power. No more is yours the dominion of despair. |
| 694 | 690 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_06006_006510_EMETSELCH | In case the practical implications were lost on you, your comrades no longer need fight their fight. |
| 695 | 691 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_06006_006520_EMETSELCH | So, go on. Call them back to your side. |
| 696 | 692 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_06006_006530_HYDAELYN | May you ever walk...in the light... |
| 697 | 693 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_06006_006540_THANCRED | How disappointing. Not even a single scar in the making to brag about. |
| 698 | 694 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_06006_006550_ESTINIEN | |
| 699 | 695 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_06006_006560_ESTINIEN | You'll find a way regardless. |
| 700 | 696 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_06006_006570_YSHTOLA | Honestly... This is far more than any of us could have hoped for. Let us be thankful. |
| 701 | 697 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_06006_006580_URIANGER | Indeed. That we thus stand reunited is a gift. Let us not squander it, and see that we all return to Etheirys. |
| 702 | 698 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_06006_006590_GRAHATIA | Aye, as soon as we've averted the Final Days! |
| 703 | 699 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_06006_006600_ALISAIE | Good to see you again. Our heroic sacrifice paid off, I take it? |
| 704 | 700 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_06006_006610_ALPHINAUD | Come, my friends. Let us carry on and finish it─together. |
| 705 | 701 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_06006_Q11_000_001_NONE_VOICE | What will you say? |
| 706 | 702 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_06006_A11_000_001_NONE_VOICE | It's over, Meteion. |
| 707 | 703 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_06006_A11_000_002_NONE_VOICE | Come with us, Meteion. |

| 711 | 707 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_06006_006650_METEION | End it...silence it... Silence our song of oblivion! |
| 712 | 708 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_06006_006660_HYTHLODAEUS | The way is open. They can proceed. |
| 713 | 709 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_06006_006670_EMETSELCH | So it seems. |
| 714 | 710 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_06006_006680_ALISAIE | You're leaving!? |
| 715 | 711 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_06006_006690_EMETSELCH | Of course. The encore is finished, and I will not suffer myself to live again by Hydaelyn's magick. |
| 716 | 712 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_06006_006700_EMETSELCH | But more than that, the future you seek is not the past we loved. That is why we fought. And why I lost. |
| 717 | 713 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_06006_006710_EMETSELCH | But though you defeated me, my ideals are inviolate. Invincible. |
| 718 | 714 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_06006_006720_EMETSELCH | Spare me your pity. I have no use for it. If you would do something for me─save our star. |
| 719 | 715 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_06006_006730_EMETSELCH | See this tale to a triumphant conclusion, and with elation in your hearts, bid the final curtain fall. |
| 720 | 716 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_06006_006740_EMETSELCH | Only then may it rise again and a new tale begin─with new parts for all to play. |

| 722 | 718 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_06006_006760_EMETSELCH | Tell me, have you been to the ruins beneath the waters of the Bounty? |
| 723 | 719 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_06006_006770_EMETSELCH | Or the treasure islands beyond the frozen waters of Blindfrost, in Othard's north? |
| 724 | 720 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_06006_006780_EMETSELCH | The fabled golden cities of the New World? The sacred sites of the forgotten people of the south sea isles? |
| 725 | 721 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_06006_006790_EMETSELCH | What about Meracydia, the southern continent? Do you know aught of its present state of affairs? |
| 726 | 722 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_06006_006800_EMETSELCH | ...I thought not. Even of your little Eorzea, you know precious little. The true identities of the Twelve, for instance. |
| 727 | 723 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_06006_006810_EMETSELCH | All of which is to say: expand your horizons. Go forth and seek discovery. Some of the civilizations in the reflections will surprise you. |
| 728 | 724 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_06006_006820_EMETSELCH | As the bearer of Azem's crystal, you may consider your duty to see at least that much. |
| 729 | 725 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_06006_006830_EMETSELCH | I certainly did. |
| 730 | 726 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_06006_006840_HYTHLODAEUS | |
| 731 | 727 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_06006_006850_HYTHLODAEUS | I pray we meet again. If not in this life, then perhaps another. |
| 732 | 728 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_06006_006860_HYTHLODAEUS | Whensoever it should be, I trust it will be a most joyous reunion. |
| 733 | 729 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_06006_006870_EMETSELCH | For you, maybe. I want nothing to do with it. |
| 734 | 730 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_06006_006880_HYTHLODAEUS | Oh, don't be that way. |
| 735 | 731 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_06006_006890_METEION | So you are finally here. In this place between death and rebirth, where life knows no dawn. |
| 736 | 732 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_06006_006900_METEION | Come, then. Follow me down into the darkest depths of despair. |
| 737 | 733 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_06006_006910_METEION | That you still stand... Your determination defies all reason. |
| 738 | 734 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_06006_006920_METEION | The souls within me writhe and recoil in your presence... |
| 739 | 735 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_06006_006930_METEION | What must I do? What pain must I visit upon you to make you surrender to despair? |
| 740 | 736 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_06006_006940_ALISAIE | No one is unbreakable. What pains one may weather may bring another to tears. |
| 741 | 737 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_06006_006950_ALISAIE | But therein lies our strength, for when we fall, our brothers and sisters are there to raise us up. Again and again. Without end. |
| 742 | 738 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_06006_006960_METEION | I see... |
| 743 | 739 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_06006_006970_METEION | But no matter how much hope exists, ever will there be more despair. |

| 794 | 790 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_06006_007480_ZENOS | When at last I understood what it was, I journeyed to Sharlayan to seek you out. Struck a bargain with the woman who shares your gift. |

| 821 | 817 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_06006_007750_METEION | That which Hermes sent us to find...was there all this time. On Etheirys. |

| 827 | 823 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_06006_007780_METEION | And so, before I fall forever silent, there is one thing I must do. |

| 831 | 827 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_06006_007820_METEION | Of a dream that from the soil of worlds now lost to sorrow, life will spring forth once more... |
| 832 | 828 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_06006_007830_METEION | ...Nourished by gentle rains and caressed by uplifting winds. A song of hope. |
| 833 | 829 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_06006_007840_METEION | One day, life will fill the universe again. And Hermes will see this and smile. |
| 834 | 830 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_06006_007850_METEION | How, I do not know. But I do know that, where there is a will, there is a way. |

| 843 | 839 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_06006_007940_ZENOS | Stronger than any I have faced. Against you, I need bring my all to bear. |

| 847 | 843 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_06006_007980_ZENOS | If you wish to walk away, I will not stop you. |
| 848 | 844 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_06006_007990_ZENOS | You value life. You do not burn yours save for reasons you deem worthy. |

| 851 | 847 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_06006_008020_ZENOS | As surely as you know the thrill of pushing your body and soul to their limits. Of confronting ever-mightier foes, dancing ever closer to the precipice, wondering if this will be the one to finally, finally...fill the void. |

| 912 | 908 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_06006_008530_LIVINGWAY | Ah, those were cries of celebration. |
| 913 | 909 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_06006_008540_LIVINGWAY | Anyway, what the important thing is that you're all alive and in reasonably good health, and we mean to get you back that way. |
| 914 | 910 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_06006_008550_LIVINGWAY | As for your earlier request, I'm quite certain we're in range to make contact now. |
| 915 | 911 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_06006_008560_THANCRED | Ah, excellent. Let us announce our return at once. |
| 916 | 912 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_06006_008570_THANCRED | I hope you're ready. |
| 917 | 913 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_06006_008580_ALPHINAUD | |
| 918 | 914 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_06006_008590_ALPHINAUD | While you were unconscious, we set out from Ultima Thule, you see. |
| 919 | 915 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_06006_008600_ALPHINAUD | Can you stand? If so, you may wish to see what's outside. |
| 920 | 916 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_06006_008610_ALPHINAUD | We're home, my friend. We're home! |
| 921 | 917 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_06006_008620_ERENVILLE | Is that...? |
| 922 | 918 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_06006_008630_ERENVILLE | It is! It's the <Emphasis>Ragnarok</Emphasis>! They're back! |
| 923 | 919 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_06006_008640_WILFSUNN | Thank heavens... |
| 924 | 920 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_06006_008650_BLOEWYDA | Truly. |
| 925 | 921 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_06006_008660_SICARD | Yes! |
| 926 | 922 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_06006_008670_EMMANELLAIN | They've done it! |
| 927 | 923 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_06006_008680_SOROBAN | Welcome home! |
| 928 | 924 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_06006_008690_HOARYBOULDER | |
| 929 | 925 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_06006_008700_CID | Yes! |
| 930 | 926 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_06006_008710_FOURCHENAULT | |
| 931 | 927 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_06006_008720_KRILE | |
| 932 | 928 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_06006_008730_TATARU | Welcome home, everyone! |
| 933 | 929 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_06006_008740_TATARU | Welcome home! |
| 934 | 930 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_06006_008750_ALPHINAUD | Dearest Mother, Dearest Father... |
| 935 | 931 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_06006_008760_ALPHINAUD | This letter will be the very last that I write to you from the Rising Stones. |
| 936 | 932 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_06006_008770_ALPHINAUD | As I commit these words to parchment, I fondly recall my journey as a Scion. |
| 937 | 933 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_06006_008780_ALPHINAUD | From the time I first walked into the order's former halls...to the time I set forth to forestall the Final Days. |
| 938 | 934 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_06006_008790_ALPHINAUD | At the farthest reaches of the sea of stars, we fought the battle of our lives... |
| 939 | 935 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_06006_008800_ALPHINAUD | Fought against despair itself─a veritable maelstrom of it fed by the resignation that dwelled in the hearts of beings not so unlike ourselves. |
| 940 | 936 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_06006_008810_ALPHINAUD | Full oft have I harbored the same malaise. Have I been brought to my knees, crushed by the weight of sorrow and defeat, convinced that I will never rise again. |
| 941 | 937 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_06006_008820_ALPHINAUD | However... |
| 942 | 938 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_06006_008830_ALPHINAUD | I have also known many moments of unbridled joy and happiness. |
| 943 | 939 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_06006_008840_ALPHINAUD | By this truth do I find hope within, blooming resplendent like the Elpis flower. |
| 944 | 940 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_06006_008850_ALPHINAUD | And thus do I endure. |
| 945 | 941 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_06006_008860_ALPHINAUD | Do I look forward to creating more memories with my friends and loved ones. |
| 946 | 942 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_06006_008865_ALPHINAUD | For from these fertile seeds, yet more hope shall spring forth... |
| 947 | 943 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_06006_008870_ALPHINAUD | And they will grow to become shining lights that illuminate the dark. |
| 948 | 944 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_06006_008880_ALPHINAUD | Thus believing, I leave the Rising Stones behind, as will my comrades. |
| 949 | 945 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_06006_008890_ALPHINAUD | For as we have decided after careful deliberation... |
| 950 | 946 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_06006_008900_ALPHINAUD | We are disbanding the Scions of the Seventh Dawn. |
| 951 | 947 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_06006_008910_TATARU | There you are, Alphinaud! |
| 952 | 948 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_06006_008920_TATARU | Everyone is already gathered in the foyer! |
| 953 | 949 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_06006_008930_ALPHINAUD | My apologies. I'll be right there. |
| 954 | 950 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_06006_008940_ALPHINAUD | At least...that is what the story will be. |
| 955 | 951 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_06006_008950_ALPHINAUD | Sorry to keep you all waiting. |
| 956 | 952 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_06006_008960_ALISAIE | What could you possibly have left to do now? |
| 957 | 953 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_06006_008970_ALPHINAUD | Oh, just a letter. |
| 958 | 954 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_06006_008980_THANCRED | I imagine it will be a while before we can gather like this again. |
| 959 | 955 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_06006_008990_YSHTOLA | So it must be if we're to keep up appearances. |
| 960 | 956 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_06006_009000_YSHTOLA | From now on, it falls to the Grand Company of Eorzea and its allies to deal with the realm's crises. |
| 961 | 957 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_06006_009010_URIANGER | Meanwhile, we shall return to our erstwhile ways. |
| 962 | 958 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_06006_009020_URIANGER | Retreating from plain sight to take our place in the shadows once more. |
| 963 | 959 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_06006_009030_ALPHINAUD | Indeed. For the foreseeable future, I expect that we must work independently as we seek out problems that want for solving. |
| 964 | 960 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_06006_009040_ALPHINAUD | But a day will come when we face another great challenge. And we will face it together, as we always have. |
| 965 | 961 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_06006_009050_KRILE | As much as I look forward to that day, I do hope it doesn't come any time soon... |
| 966 | 962 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_06006_009060_ESTINIEN | Well, formal association or no, if any of you should require my services, you need but ask. |
| 967 | 963 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_06006_009070_ESTINIEN | I'll be glad to keep my lance arm honed. |
| 968 | 964 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_06006_009080_THANCRED | I'll hold you to that, so you had better keep your linkpearl on hand. |
| 969 | 965 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_06006_009090_ALISAIE | So, you really mean to stay, Tataru? |
| 970 | 966 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_06006_009100_TATARU | Someone has to keep the Rising Stones in proper order, and even a super-secret organization requires a super-secret base of operations. |
| 971 | 967 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_06006_009110_TATARU | To the rest of the world, it will be naught more than a workshop for Eorzea's foremost up-and-coming artisan! |
| 972 | 968 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_06006_009120_TATARU | If you thought our coffers were full to bursting before, just wait till I can devote myself wholly to the crafts. |
| 973 | 969 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_06006_009130_ALISAIE | Plotting to build a mercantile empire to rival that of Lord Lolorito, are we? |
| 974 | 970 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_06006_009135_GRAHATIA | [LAUGHS] Report if displayed. |
| 975 | 971 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_06006_009140_GRAHATIA | I, for one, look forward to your future successes, Tataru, as do I our next meeting. |
| 976 | 972 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_06006_009150_TATARU | And with that, I believe it is past time you all made ready to depart. |
| 977 | 973 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_06006_009160_TATARU | Leave no preparations undone or words unsaid, all right? Now, off with you! |
| 978 | 974 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_06006_009170_ALISAIE | I suppose we're off to Garlemald, then. |
| 979 | 975 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_06006_009180_ALISAIE | Though we ought to speak with Lord Aymeric first. If he's received word of any recent developments, we need to know. |
| 980 | 976 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_06006_009190_ALPHINAUD | 'Twould be prudent to purchase some warmer clothes at least. Mayhap we can pick up a few souvenirs for Jullus and the others while we're at it. |
| 981 | 977 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_06006_009200_ALISAIE | Where will you all be heading next? |
| 982 | 978 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_06006_009210_YSHTOLA | Dravania. There is a book I have been meaning to borrow from the Great Gubal Library. |
| 983 | 979 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_06006_009220_YSHTOLA | And I can think of at least one person who will be most displeased should I fail to visit before leaving. |
| 984 | 980 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_06006_009230_THANCRED | We've no particular destination in mind, but we do intend to stop in Sharlayan before we set off. |
| 985 | 981 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_06006_009240_URIANGER | We had thought to ask after the Loporrits. I am curious as to how well those who chose to remain are adapting to their changed circumstances. |
| 986 | 982 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_06006_009250_KRILE | Might we accompany you, then? Raha and I were planning to return to the Baldesion Annex. |
| 987 | 983 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_06006_009260_GRAHATIA | Commissions have been piling up in our absence, and they must be dealt with ere we begin our work in earnest. |
| 988 | 984 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_06006_009270_ALPHINAUD | Estinien. You will return to Radz-at-Han, will you not? |
| 989 | 985 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_06006_009280_ESTINIEN | Aye. For Vrtra's benefit, though I've yet to hear the details. I may not stay long. |
| 990 | 986 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_06006_009290_ALPHINAUD | I see. Then it is here the Scions at last part ways, each to some far-flung corner of the realm. |
| 991 | 987 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_06006_009300_YSHTOLA | Perhaps. But I believe one of our number─a rather important one, at that─has yet to divulge <If(PlayerParameter(4))>her<Else/>his</If> plans. |
| 992 | 988 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_06006_009310_ESTINIEN | Quite right. |
| 993 | 989 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_06006_009320_URIANGER | Indeed... |
| 994 | 990 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_06006_009330_GRAHATIA | Fair point! |
| 995 | 991 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_06006_009340_ALPHINAUD | So. What's next for our humble adventurer? |
| 996 | 992 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_06006_009350_ELIDIBUS | (-???-)The constancy of this place never ceases to amaze me. An ocean of souls, shimmering and eternal. |
| 997 | 993 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_06006_009360_ELIDIBUS | (-???-)And yet...something stirs... |
| 998 | 994 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_06006_009370_ELIDIBUS | (-???-)Yes... Steeped in darkness deep as starless night, the beast hungers. |
| 999 | 995 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_06006_009380_ELIDIBUS | (-???-)Alas, I dare not investigate in earnest before the coming of my guiding star, as he foretold. |
| 1000 | 996 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_06006_009390_ELIDIBUS | (-???-)Alas, I dare not investigate in earnest before the coming of my guiding star, as she foretold. |
| 1001 | 997 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_06006_009400_ELIDIBUS | (-???-)We shall descend to the depths, you and I, to confront the dread beast Pandæmonium. |
| 1002 | 998 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_06006_009410_ELIDIBUS | (-???-)Oh, the sights we shall see. The sights we shall see. |
