4	0	TEXT_STMBDR602_04587_SEQ_00	Omega has selected a new destination.
5	1	TEXT_STMBDR602_04587_SEQ_01	Omega expresses a desire to understand the seemingly illogical relationship between the Ilsabard contingent and the imperial population. In order to explore this inconsistency, it bids you teleport your group to Camp Broken Glass in Garlemald.
6	2	TEXT_STMBDR602_04587_SEQ_02	Your demanding mechanical companion insists that understanding its current issue will require questioning a representative of both the contingent and the Empire. With the implacable Omega and the shivering Alpha in tow, you set off to find some suitable interviewees. ※You must be accompanied by Omega and Alpha to complete this task. Speak with either of them at Camp Broken Glass should you become separated.
7	3	TEXT_STMBDR602_04587_SEQ_03	The men you question both remember you from an earlier visit, although with distinctly different emotions. Both, however, react to Omega's assessments in similarly unexpected fashion, providing the confused machine with a bounty of data to analyze. Once again, Omega asks that you relocate to a quiet place where it can process this new input. ※You must be accompanied by Omega and Alpha to complete this task. Speak with either of them at Camp Broken Glass should you become separated.
8	4	TEXT_STMBDR602_04587_SEQ_04	In the midst of discussing the interviewees' “inconsistent” responses and the unpredictability of mortal hearts, Omega exhibits a precipitous drop in energy supply─it would seem the cold weather affected its inner workings more than it anticipated. Omega commands you to apply friction to its outer frame, in an effort to raise its critically low core temperature.
9	5	TEXT_STMBDR602_04587_SEQ_05	Crisis averted, you confirm the direction of Omega's next destination: Victors' Spoils. The diminutive model clatters off with the feathery Alpha in close proximity, determined to learn more of burial customs and cognitive complications.
10	6	TEXT_STMBDR602_04587_SEQ_06	You arrive at Licinia's gravesite to find an imperial soldier paying his respects. Manius introduces himself, and Omega immediately subjects him to a barrage of probing questions. Although taken aback, Manius nevertheless does his best to respond, his honest answers leading Omega to the conclusion that it is not man who commands the strength of his heart, but rather emotion that controls the man...
11	7	TEXT_STMBDR602_04587_SEQ_07	Satisfied that no further revelations are forthcoming from Camp Broken Glass, Omega indicates its readiness to proceed to its third and final query. This last issue concerns the dearth of information regarding the ancients, and what their full impact on the Final Days might have been. Omega determines that the moon-dwelling Loporrits represent the best source of additional data, and your teleportation spell soon has you materializing inside Bestways Burrow.
12	8	TEXT_STMBDR602_04587_SEQ_08	In a stroke of good fortune, Omega's need for observational assistance is immediately filled by the appearance of an enthusiastic Growingway. They set off to examine the burrow's technology, and Omega returns from his Loporrit-guided tour with further questions about the ancients' near-ideal society. The ever-inquisitive machine now wishes to speak with “the watcher,” and agrees to your suggestion to ride Argos to the entity's tower.
13	9	TEXT_STMBDR602_04587_SEQ_09	Putting aside the potential ramifications of a fluff-based hierarchy, you manage to convince the stubborn Argos to bear you and your companions to the watcher's abode. The being in question patiently waits to be addressed, seemingly bemused by his unexpected visitors.
14	10	TEXT_STMBDR602_04587_SEQ_10	In response to Omega's query, the watcher suggests that a recounting of your experiences might paint a more vivid picture of the ancients and their deeds. The tales you share only serve to confound Omega further, however, as it struggles to reconcile its objective assessment of events with your highly personal perspective. The oft-beeping model nevertheless accepts the data which you and the watcher have provided, and states that its investigation is now completed. The time has come to make a return to Thaumazein.
15	11	TEXT_STMBDR602_04587_SEQ_11	Barely have Biggs and Wedge welcomed you back to Sharlayan when they explain that an urgent matter calls them away. You accompany them to their waiting airship, with Omega sharing the results of its investigations while you walk. Omega concludes that Sir's illogical actions strongly indicate the presence of a “heart,” which it has now defined as “a phenomenon which influences one's interpretation of reality.” Upon arriving at the vessel, Biggs presses Omega to hold up its part of the bargain, and it finally provides you with a translation of the mystery transmission. It is a simple message, of hope and shared joy, the spiritual value of which appears lost on the ever-practical Omicron.
16	12	TEXT_STMBDR602_04587_SEQ_12	With the investigation over and its promised duty discharged, Omega returns to traveling the star with Alpha. Sharlayan, Radz–at–Han, Garlemald─the wide world and its many peoples await. There are questions yet to be answered, and the road ahead is long...

96	92	TEXT_STMBDR602_04587_ALAMHIGANDELEGATION_000_092	I can't speak for the overall strategy, but communication with the locals has become a damn sight easier since Jullus and his soldiers stepped in to help.
97	93	TEXT_STMBDR602_04587_ALAMHIGANDELEGATION_000_093	Oh, we still face our fair share of distrust, of course. Some folk even think we're enslaving minds with our “foreign magicks.” Hmph. We have Anima to thank for putting that idea in their heads.
98	94	TEXT_STMBDR602_04587_ALAMHIGANDELEGATION_000_094	But all things considered, I'd say we're doing pretty well. Establishing an open dialogue was the first big step...

100	96	TEXT_STMBDR602_04587_OMEGA_000_096	The reality of your efforts falls far short of the ideal. If your aim is to provide efficient succor to the local populace, then absorbing their numbers into your command structure would be the optimal path.
101	97	TEXT_STMBDR602_04587_ALAMHIGANDELEGATION_000_097	Oh, I wouldn't want to go that far. We're not looking to take over their nation.
102	98	TEXT_STMBDR602_04587_ALAMHIGANDELEGATION_000_098	If we're to do this the right way, we need to recognize and respect each other's way of life.
103	99	TEXT_STMBDR602_04587_ALAMHIGANDELEGATION_000_099	So while it may not be the easiest solution, I agree with the contingent's slow and steady approach. I'm just happy we're saving lives.

105	101	TEXT_STMBDR602_04587_ALAMHIGANDELEGATION_000_101	On the other hand, natives of Ala Mhigo didn't think much of us, either. I guess that's my roundabout way of saying I'm surprised this contingent was even formed in the first place. I feel fortunate to be a part of it.

112	108	TEXT_STMBDR602_04587_OMEGA_000_124	Consistent only in their inconsistency, the responses from both contingent member and imperial citizen were highly irrational. Conversely, any Omicron considering their predicaments would have echoed my assessment exactly.

278	274	TEXT_STMBDR602_04587_SCIENTIST04586_000_371	I will swallow my questions for now, and maintain my academic decorum. Besides, it seems our engineering friends are in a hurry to leave...

289	285	TEXT_STMBDR602_04587_OMEGA_000_501	...I had mistakenly classified your intangible “heart” as an ability of some kind.
290	286	TEXT_STMBDR602_04587_OMEGA_000_502	An uncanny power that Omicrons could neither learn nor even measure.
291	287	TEXT_STMBDR602_04587_OMEGA_000_503	Even now, its full nature yet eludes my comprehension.
292	288	TEXT_STMBDR602_04587_OMEGA_000_504	Based upon our investigations, however, I have decided to alter my definition.
293	289	TEXT_STMBDR602_04587_OMEGA_000_505	“A phenomenon which influences one's interpretation of reality.”
294	290	TEXT_STMBDR602_04587_OMEGA_000_506	That is as close to an answer as I have found.
295	291	TEXT_STMBDR602_04587_OMEGA_000_507	Accordingly, Sir's actions upon meeting Meteion strongly indicate the presence of a “heart.”
296	292	TEXT_STMBDR602_04587_OMEGA_000_508	Sir did not follow routine logic, but formulated an independent assessment based upon the reality it perceived.

299	295	TEXT_STMBDR602_04587_BIGGS_000_511	Aye, we need to be going...but first, I'll hold you to your bargain, Omega.
300	296	TEXT_STMBDR602_04587_BIGGS_000_512	It's time you told us what was in that transmission from the flight logs.
301	297	TEXT_STMBDR602_04587_OMEGA_000_513	<blip> Acknowledged. I will uphold the terms of our agreement.

310	306	TEXT_STMBDR602_04587_OMEGA_000_519	The concept of “joy” is overly abstract. The vocal supplication to manifest said joy is unrealistic in its optimism.
