40TEXT_LUCKMJ103_04009_SEQ_00G'raha Tia seems eager to bear the node away.
51TEXT_LUCKMJ103_04009_SEQ_01Though Cid may be the man best qualified to gain access to the report stored in the Allagan node, G'raha Tia freely admits that his reasons for wanting to visit the engineer are not purely practical. Eager to be reunited with your mutual friend, he sets off for the Rising Stones at a brisk pace, leaving you and Alisaie to follow in his wake.
62TEXT_LUCKMJ103_04009_SEQ_02You get back to the Rising Stones to find Krile also returned, and she briefs you on all that transpired at the recent Alliance council. With the Empire still at war with itself, the Alliance has turned its attention to the primal problem once more. Working with friendly factions among the beast tribes, they hope to explore new avenues for peace, a development which only adds to your comrades' determination to find a cure for tempering. On that note, the impromptu meeting concludes, and Tataru suggests you wait for Cid in Dawn's Respite.
73TEXT_LUCKMJ103_04009_SEQ_03G'raha Tia positively beams with delight as Cid enters the chamber, and the pair enjoy a brief but joyous reunion. Soon after, thoughts turn to the matter of the locked report and Cid sets to work. Using the calculating power of a magitek terminal, he succeeds in identifying the late Owen's password, and you watch intently as the Allagan technologist appears in holographic form and explains the mechanism by which eikons make thralls of men. It is duly confirmed that, like those corrupted by Light, the souls of the tempered are subject to stagnation. <Emphasis>Unlike</Emphasis> with the victims of the sin eaters, however, you learn that one cannot reanimate a tempered soul without also intensifying the victim's fanatical faith. When you articulate this dilemma, G'raha Tia is inspired to theorize that an adapted version of memory transference might make it possible to perform targeted reanimation, and it is decided that you will rely once more on magitek terminals─this time to formulate a magick.
84TEXT_LUCKMJ103_04009_SEQ_04While Cid and G'raha Tia configure the terminals, you and the others are tasked with procuring supplies. Ironworks promissory note in hand, you set out for the Skysteel Manufactory in Ishgard to obtain the necessary ceruleum.
95TEXT_LUCKMJ103_04009_SEQ_05At the Skysteel Manufactory, you present the promissory note to Fromelaut, who informs you that an engineer at the airship landing will assist you with the ceruleum.
106TEXT_LUCKMJ103_04009_SEQ_06As you converse with the engineer, who should emerge from the landing but Ser Aymeric. Upon learning of your quest to cure tempering, he pledges Ishgard's full support, and sees you off aboard an airship laden with all the ceruleum you require and more. Some while later, you enter the workshop at Revenant's Toll to find preparations well underway, the terminals successfully configured with the assistance of the ever-capable-if-not-available Nero. After confirming that all is ready, Cid gives the order to begin. While the terminals conduct their endless simulations, you decide to take a moment's rest...and awaken to a scene of chaos as the devices threaten to overload. Mere moments before they break down, the magick is revealed to G'raha Tia, who heaves a sigh of relief before turning to everyone with a smile. At long last, the world has a cure for tempering.

5450TEXT_LUCKMJ103_04009_GRAHATIA_000_000I should probably mention that I have yet to meet Cid since waking up. Rammbroes did send word to the Ironworks, but it appears our friend has been afield on urgent business.
5551TEXT_LUCKMJ103_04009_GRAHATIA_000_001Nevertheless, I assure you my proposal to seek his help is no pretext, however much I might look forward to seeing him again. Him and everyone. But come, let us be on our way.
5652TEXT_LUCKMJ103_04009_ALISAIE_000_002Hehehe! Look at him, all but running... How sweet.
5753TEXT_LUCKMJ103_04009_ALISAIE_000_003Still, it wouldn't do to keep him waiting. Shall we?
5854TEXT_LUCKMJ103_04009_ALISAIE_000_005Krile's back too. I wonder what was decided at the council...
5955TEXT_LUCKMJ103_04009_KRILE_000_006I take it you have news to share. So do I.
6056TEXT_LUCKMJ103_04009_TATARU_000_007I'm pleased to see your mission was a success─and in no small part due to the <Emphasis>Bonanza</Emphasis>!
6157TEXT_LUCKMJ103_04009_DATASYSTEM_000_008<blip> Large lowborn presence detected.
6258TEXT_LUCKMJ103_04009_GRAHATIA_000_010Wonderful news, <Split(<Highlight>ObjectParameter(1)</Highlight>, ,1)/>! Tataru contacted Cid on our behalf, and he is on his way here even as we speak!
6359TEXT_LUCKMJ103_04009_GRAHATIA_000_011While we wait, I should like very much to hear what transpired at the Alliance council. Would you be so kind, Krile?
6460TEXT_LUCKMJ103_04009_KRILE_000_012As you know, the meeting was convened to discuss how best to respond to recent events in Garlemald.
6561TEXT_LUCKMJ103_04009_KRILE_000_013According to intelligence from our Doman allies, the war of succession rages on, and the Empire remains without a leader.
6662TEXT_LUCKMJ103_04009_KRILE_000_014Amidst the chaos, the imperial legions in the provinces have begun to move independently of the motherland.
6763TEXT_LUCKMJ103_04009_KRILE_000_015Of greatest concern to us is the IIIrd, a legion aligned with Lord Nerva. It appears they have received substantial financial backing from House Brutus.
6864TEXT_LUCKMJ103_04009_ALISAIE_000_016Brutus... Aren't they the ones who took in Yotsuyu and Asahi? This bodes well...
6965TEXT_LUCKMJ103_04009_KRILE_000_017Zenos's movements, meanwhile, remain shrouded in mystery. We're hoping that Thancred and Urianger will be able to shed some light on his activities when they return.
7066TEXT_LUCKMJ103_04009_KRILE_000_018Until such time as they do, the Allied leaders feel it would be unwise to interfere in the conflict. And so, thanks in part to the imperial withdrawal from Ghimlyt, they have decided to turn their attention to the primal problem once more.
7167TEXT_LUCKMJ103_04009_KRILE_000_019Working with friendly factions among the beast tribes, they hope to reopen dialogue and explore new avenues for peace.
7268TEXT_LUCKMJ103_04009_KRILE_000_020Given the timing, I suspect they wish to put their respective houses in order ahead of a decisive clash with the Empire.

7672TEXT_LUCKMJ103_04009_ALISAIE_000_024So long as we are dealing with the tempered, I'm afraid no amount of dialogue will avail us.
7773TEXT_LUCKMJ103_04009_ALISAIE_000_025But if we can develop a treatment for tempering, then anything is possible!
7874TEXT_LUCKMJ103_04009_GRAHATIA_000_026Which is why we must succeed.
7975TEXT_LUCKMJ103_04009_TATARU_000_027And on that cheery note, why not make yourselves comfortable in Dawn's Respite? I'll show Cid in as soon as he arrives!
8076TEXT_LUCKMJ103_04009_KRILE_000_030I understand you took a little trip to Azys Lla. Raha made himself useful, I trust?
8177TEXT_LUCKMJ103_04009_TATARU_000_031We've made the Respite cozier than ever. You're going to love it!
8278TEXT_LUCKMJ103_04009_GRAHATIA_000_032Cid, at long last...
8379TEXT_LUCKMJ103_04009_ALISAIE_000_033As important as Ga Bu is to me, I know only too well how much more is at stake here. A cure could change the whole world.
8480TEXT_LUCKMJ103_04009_DATASYSTEM_000_034<blip> <bloop> Warning: His Highness is exhibiting elevated blood pressure.
8581TEXT_LUCKMJ103_04009_GRAHATIA_000_040Cid!
8682TEXT_LUCKMJ103_04009_CID_100_041Forgive us for not coming to see you sooner, my friend. As you may have heard, we've had our hands full.
8783TEXT_LUCKMJ103_04009_CID_000_041In our defense, you <Emphasis>are</Emphasis> up rather early. I was under the impression you'd be slumbering awhile longer.
8884TEXT_LUCKMJ103_04009_GRAHATIA_000_042Oh, I would have been─had you not fulfilled your promise.
8985TEXT_LUCKMJ103_04009_CID_100_043Hah! I still struggle with that idea. From where I stand, the secrets of traversing time and space seem exactly as unfathomable as they ever did.
9086TEXT_LUCKMJ103_04009_CID_000_043But if an alternate version of myself has already laid them bare, I daresay that frees me up to concentrate on other endeavors. Speaking of which, you wanted my help with something. What is it?
9187TEXT_LUCKMJ103_04009_CID_000_044Well, well...a treatment for tempering. And for the next step, you need to find the password to this Allagan's report...
9288TEXT_LUCKMJ103_04009_GRAHATIA_000_045Just so. With nary a clue to guide us, we could be here forever and still not guess correctly. And thus we turn to you.
9389TEXT_LUCKMJ103_04009_ALISAIE_000_046
9490TEXT_LUCKMJ103_04009_CID_000_047Well, I'd love to say that we could help you...so I will. Once suitably configured, a magitek terminal should make short work of identifying the password.
9591TEXT_LUCKMJ103_04009_GRAHATIA_000_048I knew I could rely on you. Now, anticipating that it might be of use, I took the liberty of borrowing a tomestone from Rammbroes. It contains an Allagan dictionary.
9692TEXT_LUCKMJ103_04009_CID_000_049Good thinking. I'll transfer the information to a terminal and set it to work right away.
9793TEXT_LUCKMJ103_04009_CID_000_101Ah, looks like it's finished. Let's see...
9894TEXT_LUCKMJ103_04009_CID_000_102“Freedom.” The password is “freedom.”
9995TEXT_LUCKMJ103_04009_ALISAIE_000_103Hah. Short and simple, just as I said. Would you care to do the honors, Your Highness?
10096TEXT_LUCKMJ103_04009_GRAHATIA_000_104I would, milady!
10197TEXT_LUCKMJ103_04009_GRAHATIA_000_105Node, open the report entitled “Eikonic Corruption ─ An Overview,” password: freedom!
10298TEXT_LUCKMJ103_04009_DATASYSTEM_000_106Password accepted. <bloop> Opening report...
10399TEXT_LUCKMJ103_04009_OWEN_000_107This report seeks to provide an overview of the mechanism by which eikons corrupt and bind men to their will.
104100TEXT_LUCKMJ103_04009_OWEN_000_108The phenomenon we call “corruption” refers to the alteration of the aether of the soul.
105101TEXT_LUCKMJ103_04009_OWEN_000_109Said aether ordinarily exists in equilibrium; no one element being more prominent than another.
106102TEXT_LUCKMJ103_04009_OWEN_000_110But when a subject is exposed to the aether of an eikon, this changes, their soul taking on the properties of the entity in question.
107103TEXT_LUCKMJ103_04009_OWEN_000_111By way of an example, exposure to the aether of the Fiend, Sephirot, would cause a subject's aether to become aligned with the element of earth.
108104TEXT_LUCKMJ103_04009_OWEN_000_112As a consequence, the subject would attain heightened affinity with earth-aspected magicks, as well as preternatural levels of endurance. Repeated exposure would further enhance these traits, ultimately altering the subject's very flesh.
109105TEXT_LUCKMJ103_04009_OWEN_000_113The changes undergone by the subject are not solely attributable to elemental alignment, however. Further testing has determined that the subject's soul becomes umbrally charged, or stagnant during the process.
110106TEXT_LUCKMJ103_04009_OWEN_000_114This stagnation of the soul has the effect of diluting the sense of self, rendering the subject vulnerable to the will of the eikon, the thoughts of whom come to consume their entire existence.
111107TEXT_LUCKMJ103_04009_OWEN_000_115
112108TEXT_LUCKMJ103_04009_OWEN_000_116In this manner do the corrupted become worshipers of the eikon, their prayers serving to further empower the entity.
113109TEXT_LUCKMJ103_04009_OWEN_000_117Having discerned the mechanism of eikonic corruption, my colleagues and I set out to develop a material capable of shielding one from its effects. An endeavor in which we were successful, albeit it at great cost...
114110TEXT_LUCKMJ103_04009_OWEN_000_118In the course of testing, many of my assistants─good men and women all─fell victim to corruption. And in accordance with protocol, they were summarily put to death.
115111TEXT_LUCKMJ103_04009_OWEN_000_119I subsequently submitted a proposal to investigate potential cures for corruption, but it was rejected─deemed “nonessential” by Lord Amon.
116112TEXT_LUCKMJ103_04009_OWEN_000_120Though I knew it would be fruitless, I protested the decision. And for my impertinence, I have been stripped of rank and title, and will shortly be expelled from this facility.
117113TEXT_LUCKMJ103_04009_OWEN_000_121In all likelihood, this report will be expunged from the archives. Nonetheless, I record it in the hope that one day, someone will undertake to do that which I could not, and find a cure for the victims of eikonic corruption. End recording.
118114TEXT_LUCKMJ103_04009_GRAHATIA_000_122So not even the Allagans were able to find a cure. Or rather, were not given the chance to do so. One cannot help but wonder what motivated Lord Amon's decision.
119115TEXT_LUCKMJ103_04009_ALISAIE_000_123More importantly, this confirms that stagnation of the soul is indeed the problem─and Angelo can remedy that.
120116TEXT_LUCKMJ103_04009_GRAHATIA_000_124True. Yet were we simply to reanimate a tempered soul, I fear it would do naught to diminish the individual's fanatical faith. Indeed, it may well intensify it.
121117TEXT_LUCKMJ103_04009_GRAHATIA_000_125No, we would somehow need to suppress the primal's hold over the subject at the same time, or risk them ever remaining its thrall.
122118TEXT_LUCKMJ103_04009_Q1_000_000What will you say?
123119TEXT_LUCKMJ103_04009_A1_000_001If we could only make them remember who they were...
124120TEXT_LUCKMJ103_04009_A1_000_002So there's no point in reviving their souls unless we can also restore their sense of self?
125121TEXT_LUCKMJ103_04009_GRAHATIA_000_127But of course─memory transference! The process has the effect of compartmentalizing memories─separating them into manageable bundles, if you will.
126122TEXT_LUCKMJ103_04009_GRAHATIA_100_127By adapting the technique, it may be possible to achieve <Emphasis>selective</Emphasis> reanimation. That is, limit the effects to only those memories that existed prior to tempering.
127123TEXT_LUCKMJ103_04009_GRAHATIA_200_127Through thus restoring the sense of self, we could theoretically drown out the incitements of false faith which had come to dominate the individual's thoughts.
128124TEXT_LUCKMJ103_04009_ALISAIE_100_128I see... The theory seems sound. And our experience treating the Light-corrupted <Emphasis>would</Emphasis> help us to identify suitable memories for reanimation.
129125TEXT_LUCKMJ103_04009_ALISAIE_000_128But are you confident you can adapt memory transference as required? I seem to recall your attempts to do so while trying to bring us home culminated in literal bloodletting.
130126TEXT_LUCKMJ103_04009_GRAHATIA_000_129They did, you are right. Despite my best efforts, I could not recreate the mechanism. And I concede that the rather clumsy compromise I reached would not provide the basis for a cure.
131127TEXT_LUCKMJ103_04009_ALISAIE_000_130Then perhaps it's better that we consider another approach.
132128TEXT_LUCKMJ103_04009_GRAHATIA_000_131Your doubts are understandable, but this time I believe we have reason to be confident.
133129TEXT_LUCKMJ103_04009_GRAHATIA_000_132You see, nodes such as this were built with the ability to simulate magicks.
134130TEXT_LUCKMJ103_04009_GRAHATIA_000_133Which leads me to believe that it may be capable of performing simulations of the transference technique. If so, we would be able to conduct years' worth of tests within the space of a few days.
135131TEXT_LUCKMJ103_04009_CID_000_134Hm. In theory, it would be no different from how we identified the password.
136132TEXT_LUCKMJ103_04009_CID_000_135But it'll take more calculating power. A lot more. I honestly couldn't say whether our equipment would be up to the task.
137133TEXT_LUCKMJ103_04009_GRAHATIA_000_136Tell me, Cid. Why do you suppose Owen locked his report behind a password?
138134TEXT_LUCKMJ103_04009_CID_000_137To keep it from prying eyes, of course. Why else?
139135TEXT_LUCKMJ103_04009_CID_000_138...Wait. A password that could be guessed by anyone with leisure and a dictionary wouldn't keep it from a person minded to look.
140136TEXT_LUCKMJ103_04009_CID_000_139No, he <Emphasis>wanted</Emphasis> his report to be seen...by those who strive for freedom.
141137TEXT_LUCKMJ103_04009_GRAHATIA_000_140Not unlike the members of a certain distinguished engineering collective. I believe their motto was “Freedom through Technology,” or some such.

146142TEXT_LUCKMJ103_04009_GRAHATIA_000_151As with our first foray into the Labyrinth of the Ancients, we seek to venture into the unknown. And in order to succeed, we require not only knowledge and preparation, but daring besides. Just like old times.
147143TEXT_LUCKMJ103_04009_KRILE_000_152Suffice it to say, I shall be of whatever help I can.
148144TEXT_LUCKMJ103_04009_TATARU_000_153Hmmm, all those magitek terminals won't come cheap... Ack, shut up, Tataru. Some things you shouldn't put a price on.

151147TEXT_LUCKMJ103_04009_CID_000_161Namely, ceruleum to fuel the terminals and ice shards to keep them cool. The more we have of both, the better.
152148TEXT_LUCKMJ103_04009_KRILE_000_162Leave the ice shards to me. I'll round up some adventurers and go on a gathering spree.
153149TEXT_LUCKMJ103_04009_CID_000_163In that case, I'll trust <Split(<Highlight>ObjectParameter(1)</Highlight>, ,1)/> and Alisaie with the ceruleum. Here's a promissory note for each of you.
154150TEXT_LUCKMJ103_04009_CID_000_164Take them to the Skysteel Manufactory in Ishgard and the Ceruleum Processing Plant in Thanalan. The people there will give you what we need.
155151TEXT_LUCKMJ103_04009_ALISAIE_000_165Yours is a well-known face in the Holy See, I believe? If it's all the same to you, I'll head to Thanalan.
156152TEXT_LUCKMJ103_04009_CID_000_168If Alisaie's bound for the Ceruleum Processing Plant, you'll want to take yourself to the Skysteel Manufactory. Off you go, now.
