How strange that such a ship[XENO:n ]
crashed here.[XENO:wait wait=key ][XENO:del del=this ] |
| 2 |
|
126 |
You know what this thing is?[XENO:wait wait=key ][XENO:del del=this ] |
| 3 |
|
126 |
How could I not?[XENO:wait wait=key ][System:PageBreak ]This is an Alcamoth trading ship.[XENO:wait wait=key ][System:PageBreak ]It would have been used to[XENO:n ]
transport Ether Cylinders.[XENO:wait wait=key ][XENO:del del=this ] |
| 4 |
|
126 |
[XENO:act act=EVT_EXT4 ]What?![XENO:wait wait=key ][System:PageBreak ]So you're saying this is[XENO:n ]
a High Entia ship?[XENO:wait wait=key ][XENO:act act=EVT_EXT6 ][XENO:del del=this ] |
| 5 |
|
126 |
[XENO:sel sel=・Does this come as a surprise?/・I am saying exactly that. ][XENO:del del=all ] |
| 6 |
|
126 |
[XENO:act act=EVT2 ]I feel my explanation[XENO:n ]
is quite reasonable.[XENO:wait wait=key ][System:PageBreak ]Do you find something[XENO:n ]
amiss with it?[XENO:wait wait=key ][XENO:del del=this ] |
| 7 |
|
126 |
[XENO:act act=EVT4 ]Er...amiss... Does that[XENO:n ]
mean wrong?[XENO:wait wait=key ][System:PageBreak ]Nothing's wrong with it exactly.[XENO:n ]
It's just...I mean...you know...[XENO:wait wait=key ][XENO:del del=this ] |
| 8 |
|
126 |
[XENO:act act=EVT_EXT1 ]Well, that was a cryptic response[XENO:n ]
if ever I heard one.[XENO:wait wait=key ][XENO:act act=EVT_EXT3 ][XENO:del del=this ] |
| 9 |
|
126 |
All right, fine.[XENO:wait wait=key ][System:PageBreak ]We kind of...took the cylinders[XENO:n ]
from the ship. And used them.[XENO:wait wait=key ][XENO:del del=this ] |
| 10 |
|
126 |
[XENO:sel sel=・Hmm. I see./・And what of it, Reyn? ][XENO:del del=all ] |
| 11 |
|
126 |
[XENO:act act=EVT1 ]Then I must send a request for[XENO:n ]
payment to your colony's leader.[XENO:wait wait=key ][XENO:del del=this ] |
| 12 |
|
126 |
[XENO:act act=EVT_EXT4 ]You're gonna charge us?![XENO:wait wait=key ][XENO:act act=EVT_EXT6 ][XENO:del del=this ] |
| 13 |
|
126 |
I should think that obvious, Reyn.[XENO:wait wait=key ][System:PageBreak ]This ship was quite expensive. We[XENO:n ]
cannot provide it free of charge.[XENO:wait wait=key ][System:PageBreak ]Is it not a crown princess' duty to[XENO:n ]
collect monies owed to Alcamoth?[XENO:wait wait=key ][XENO:del del=this ] |
| 14 |
|
126 |
[XENO:act act=EVT_EXT7 ]Oh, so it's like that, is it?[XENO:wait wait=key ][System:PageBreak ]And how do you expect us[XENO:n ]
to pay off our bill?[XENO:wait wait=key ][System:PageBreak ]The colony's flat broke![XENO:wait wait=key ][XENO:del del=this ] |
| 15 |
|
126 |
[XENO:act act=EVT_EXT1 ]Oh, hush, Reyn. I am merely[XENO:n ]
jesting with you.[XENO:wait wait=key ][System:PageBreak ]Did you honestly think that[XENO:n ]
I would demand payment?[XENO:wait wait=key ][XENO:act act=EVT_EXT3 ][XENO:del del=this ] |
| 16 |
|
126 |
[XENO:act act=EVT_EXT9 ]You were joking?![XENO:wait wait=key ][System:PageBreak ]That's not fair! You're too good[XENO:n ]
at keeping a straight face![XENO:wait wait=key ][XENO:del del=this ] |
| 17 |
|
126 |
[XENO:act act=EVT2 ]The ship appears to have crashed[XENO:n ]
here a very long time ago.[XENO:wait wait=key ][System:PageBreak ]I am not sure whose property it is,[XENO:n ]
but they are unlikely to claim it.[XENO:wait wait=key ][System:PageBreak ]If you needed the Ether Cylinders,[XENO:n ]
then so be it.[XENO:wait wait=key ][XENO:del del=this ] |
| 18 |
|
126 |
Phew! That's a relief.[XENO:wait wait=key ][System:PageBreak ]You really had me going there[XENO:n ]
for a minute.[XENO:wait wait=key ][XENO:del del=this ] |
| 19 |
|
126 |
[XENO:act act=EVT1 ]A little of you and others has[XENO:n ]
rubbed off on me.[XENO:wait wait=key ][System:PageBreak ]I have learnt many new things[XENO:n ]
from you, Reyn. Thank you.[XENO:wait wait=key ][XENO:del del=this ] |
| 20 |
|
126 |
[XENO:act act=EVT4 ]Whoa. You're making me blush![XENO:wait wait=key ][System:PageBreak ]There's one thing you gotta know[XENO:n ]
about me. I don't need no thanks.[XENO:wait wait=key ][System:PageBreak ]But I don't mind a pat on the back[XENO:n ]
every now and then.[XENO:wait wait=key ][XENO:del del=all ] |
| 21 |
|
126 |
[XENO:act act=EVT_EXT7 ]You seem embarrassed[XENO:n ]
to admit to this.[XENO:wait wait=key ][System:PageBreak ]Do you feel there is something[XENO:n ]
wrong with the colony's actions?[XENO:wait wait=key ][XENO:del del=this ] |
| 22 |
|
126 |
[XENO:act act=EVT4 ]Nah, not really.[XENO:wait wait=key ][System:PageBreak ]If you're all right with it,[XENO:n ]
then fine by me![XENO:wait wait=key ][XENO:del del=this ] |
| 23 |
|
126 |
Hmph. Did you think I would be[XENO:n ]
so miserly as to object?[XENO:wait wait=key ][System:PageBreak ]I am offended.[XENO:wait wait=key ][XENO:del del=this ] |
| 24 |
|
126 |
[XENO:act act=EVT_EXT4 ]Wait a second! I didn't say that![XENO:wait wait=key ][System:PageBreak ][XENO:act act=EVT_EXT6 ]But, you know... This ship must[XENO:n ]
belong to someone.[XENO:wait wait=key ][System:PageBreak ]Whoever flew it here could still[XENO:n ]
be around somewhere, right?[XENO:wait wait=key ][XENO:del del=this ] |
| 25 |
|
126 |
[XENO:act act=EVT_EXT9 ]Perhaps. We cannot be sure.[XENO:wait wait=key ][System:PageBreak ]If they are alive, I would assume[XENO:n ]
they have returned to Alcamoth.[XENO:wait wait=key ][XENO:del del=this ] |
| 26 |
|
126 |
[XENO:act act=EVT_EXT7 ]And if they're dead, then[XENO:n ]
they're at one with the Bionis.[XENO:wait wait=key ][System:PageBreak ]The family's gonna want to[XENO:n ]
know what happened.[XENO:wait wait=key ][System:PageBreak ]And that'll cause all kinds of[XENO:n ]
hassle for you, right?[XENO:wait wait=key ][XENO:del del=this ] |
| 27 |
|
126 |
[XENO:act act=EVT2 ]Hassle?[XENO:wait wait=key ][System:PageBreak ]I fear your concern is[XENO:n ]
misplaced, Reyn.[XENO:wait wait=key ][System:PageBreak ]The people of Colony 9 have my[XENO:n ]
gratitude, not my ire. After all...[XENO:wait wait=key ][System:PageBreak ]You have saved me numerous[XENO:n ]
times and will continue to do so.[XENO:wait wait=key ][System:PageBreak ]At least, I hope that you will.[XENO:wait wait=key ][XENO:del del=this ] |
| 28 |
|
126 |
[XENO:act act=EVT_EXT9 ]That's A-OK with me.[XENO:wait wait=key ][System:PageBreak ]We're on the same team. You need[XENO:n ]
any help at all, just say the word.[XENO:wait wait=key ][System:PageBreak ][XENO:act act=EVT3 ]And you'll do the same for me[XENO:n ]
when I'm in a tight spot, right?[XENO:wait wait=key ][XENO:del del=this ] |
| 29 |
|
126 |
[XENO:act act=EVT1 ]You need not even ask, Reyn.[XENO:wait wait=key ][System:PageBreak ]The sense of unity in our group[XENO:n ]
means a great deal to me.[XENO:wait wait=key ][System:PageBreak ]I would not sacrifice it[XENO:n ]
for anything.[XENO:wait wait=key ][XENO:del del=all ] |
| 30 |
|
126 |
[XENO:act act=EVT_EXT1 ]Do you not recognise the design?[XENO:wait wait=key ][System:PageBreak ]You saw many similar ships[XENO:n ]
in Alcamoth.[XENO:wait wait=key ][XENO:act act=EVT_EXT3 ][XENO:del del=this ] |
| 31 |
|
126 |
I dunno. We were a bit tied up.[XENO:wait wait=key ][XENO:del del=this ] |
| 32 |
|
126 |
True, you were rather[XENO:n ]
preoccupied.[XENO:wait wait=key ][System:PageBreak ][XENO:act act=EVT_EXT7 ]In any case, I can't help[XENO:n ]
but wonder...[XENO:wait wait=key ][XENO:del del=this ] |
| 33 |
|
126 |
[XENO:sel sel=・If there were any survivors?/・What the ship was doing here? ][XENO:del del=all ] |
| 34 |
|
126 |
Yes, precisely.[XENO:wait wait=key ][System:PageBreak ]It is possible that one or more[XENO:n ]
people survived the crash.[XENO:wait wait=key ][System:PageBreak ]But it would have been a tall order[XENO:n ]
from them to get back to Alcamoth.[XENO:wait wait=key ][XENO:del del=this ] |
| 35 |
|
126 |
[XENO:act act=EVT_EXT7 ]It's a long trip, that's for sure.[XENO:wait wait=key ][System:PageBreak ]And if they were High Entia,[XENO:n ]
they'd stick out like a sore thumb.[XENO:wait wait=key ][XENO:del del=this ] |
| 36 |
|
126 |
They would be easy prey[XENO:n ]
for monsters.[XENO:wait wait=key ][System:PageBreak ]The ship must have crashed here[XENO:n ]
a very long time ago...[XENO:wait wait=key ][System:PageBreak ]But even the High Entia of old[XENO:n ]
should not have come here.[XENO:wait wait=key ][System:PageBreak ]They should have known better.[XENO:wait wait=key ][XENO:del del=this ] |
| 37 |
|
126 |
[XENO:act act=EVT_EXT9 ]This sounds pretty complicated.[XENO:n ]
But I can tell you're upset.[XENO:wait wait=key ][System:PageBreak ]How about we give these guys[XENO:n ]
a break? Whoever they were.[XENO:wait wait=key ][XENO:del del=this ] |
| 38 |
|
126 |
[XENO:act act=EVT_EXT9 ]You are getting to know me well.[XENO:n ]
I do say some harsh things.[XENO:wait wait=key ][System:PageBreak ]And yes, perhaps it is to mask[XENO:n ]
my own distress.[XENO:wait wait=key ][System:PageBreak ]I am grateful for your[XENO:n ]
presence, Reyn.[XENO:wait wait=key ][System:PageBreak ]Without you here by my side,[XENO:n ]
I fear I would be far more upset.[XENO:wait wait=key ][XENO:del del=this ] |
| 39 |
|
126 |
[XENO:act act=EVT1 ]Oh, great! I was just gonna ask if[XENO:n ]
there was anything I could do.[XENO:wait wait=key ][XENO:del del=this ] |
| 40 |
|
126 |
[XENO:act act=EVT2 ]Do not act so surprised, Reyn.[XENO:wait wait=key ][System:PageBreak ]You know full well that you've[XENO:n ]
cheered me up.[XENO:wait wait=key ][System:PageBreak ]Was that not why you came over[XENO:n ]
and spoke to me in the first place?[XENO:wait wait=key ][System:PageBreak ][XENO:act act=EVT1 ]Teehee. I can see why Shulk holds[XENO:n ]
you in such high regard.[XENO:wait wait=key ][XENO:del del=this ] |
| 41 |
|
126 |
[XENO:act act=EVT_EXT4 ]Wait, hang on![XENO:wait wait=key ][System:PageBreak ]What was that part about why[XENO:n ]
I came over in the first place?[XENO:wait wait=key ][System:PageBreak ]Even if you figure stuff like that[XENO:n ]
out, you're not meant to say it![XENO:wait wait=key ][XENO:act act=EVT_EXT6 ][System:PageBreak ]I mean...er... Right! Let's[XENO:n ]
get out of here![XENO:wait wait=key ][XENO:act act=EVT4 ][XENO:del del=this ] |
| 42 |
|
126 |
[XENO:act act=EVT_EXT7 ]You know, you still look like[XENO:n ]
a silly brute even when you blush.[XENO:wait wait=key ][System:PageBreak ]Perhaps it might be advisable[XENO:n ]
to stop doing so?[XENO:wait wait=key ][System:PageBreak ][XENO:act act=EVT_EXT9 ]Now, let's rejoin the others. Thank[XENO:n ]
you for all your help, Reyn.[XENO:wait wait=key ][XENO:del del=all ] |
| 43 |
|
126 |
Indeed. It was before my time, so[XENO:n ]
I cannot know the circumstances.[XENO:wait wait=key ][System:PageBreak ]But it seems odd to me that this[XENO:n ]
ship travelled to the lower regions.[XENO:wait wait=key ][System:PageBreak ]Why was it necessary to transport[XENO:n ]
all these cylinders here?[XENO:wait wait=key ][XENO:del del=this ] |
| 44 |
|
126 |
[XENO:act act=EVT_EXT7 ]There must have been[XENO:n ]
some kind of reason.[XENO:wait wait=key ][XENO:del del=this ] |
| 45 |
|
126 |
[XENO:act act=EVT_EXT9 ]Yes. But what it was,[XENO:n ]
I do not know.[XENO:wait wait=key ][System:PageBreak ]All I can be sure of is that this[XENO:n ]
ship is a very old model.[XENO:wait wait=key ][XENO:del del=this ] |
| 46 |
|
126 |
I bet a ship this big got attacked[XENO:n ]
by tons of monsters.[XENO:wait wait=key ][System:PageBreak ]All those cylinders on board[XENO:n ]
and stuff.[XENO:wait wait=key ][XENO:del del=this ] |
| 47 |
|
126 |
[XENO:act act=EVT1 ]That is very likely.[XENO:wait wait=key ][System:PageBreak ]But the ship would have had[XENO:n ]
defence systems on board.[XENO:wait wait=key ][XENO:del del=this ] |
| 48 |
|
126 |
What if it got hit by one of those[XENO:n ]
Telethia things from up your way?[XENO:wait wait=key ][System:PageBreak ]I bet the defence systems would[XENO:n ]
be no match for it at all.[XENO:wait wait=key ][XENO:del del=this ] |
| 49 |
|
126 |
Perhaps. But it does not appear[XENO:n ]
to be damaged.[XENO:wait wait=key ][System:PageBreak ][XENO:act act=EVT2 ]We shouldn't worry over things[XENO:n ]
that are in the past.[XENO:wait wait=key ][System:PageBreak ]Come. Let us find the others.[XENO:wait wait=key ][XENO:del del=this ] |
| 50 |
|
126 |
[XENO:act act=EVT_EXT9 ]Hey! Hang on a minute![XENO:n ]
We still don't know anything.[XENO:wait wait=key ][System:PageBreak ][XENO:act act=EVT4 ]Aaand...she's gone. Well, no use[XENO:n ]
me stewing over it either I guess.[XENO:wait wait=key ][XENO:del del=all ] |
