This place is...beautiful.[XENO:wait wait=key ][XENO:del del=this ] |

|

[XENO:act act=EVT1 ]Some call it the[XENO:n ]
Shimmering Marsh.[XENO:wait wait=key ][XENO:del del=this ] |
| 3 |
|
126 |
[XENO:act act=EVT_EXT1 ]I can see why![XENO:wait wait=key ][System:PageBreak ]Had you ever been here before?[XENO:wait wait=key ][XENO:act act=EVT_EXT3 ][XENO:del del=this ] |
| 4 |
|
126 |
[XENO:act act=EVT_EXT1 ]No. And I'm suitably amazed.[XENO:wait wait=key ][System:PageBreak ]How can a place light up[XENO:n ]
so much at night?[XENO:wait wait=key ][System:PageBreak ]I've never seen anything like it.[XENO:wait wait=key ][XENO:act act=EVT_EXT3 ][XENO:del del=this ] |
| 5 |
|
126 |
[XENO:act act=EVT_EXT10 ]I have. Once, when I was[XENO:n ]
very young.[XENO:wait wait=key ][XENO:del del=this ] |
| 6 |
|
126 |
[XENO:sel sel=・Maybe it was a dream?/・Really? Interesting. ][XENO:del del=this ] |
| 7 |
|
126 |
[XENO:act act=EVT_EXT13 ]It wasn't a dream. I know it![XENO:wait wait=key ][System:PageBreak ][XENO:act act=EVT_EXT15 ]But...I do remember being asleep[XENO:n ]
for most of it.[XENO:wait wait=key ][XENO:del del=this ] |
| 8 |
|
126 |
[XENO:act act=EVT_EXT16 ]Then it must have been[XENO:n ]
a dream, surely.[XENO:wait wait=key ][XENO:del del=this ] |
| 9 |
|
126 |
[XENO:act act=EVT_EXT4 ]No. It was at the ruins where[XENO:n ]
me and the Monado were found.[XENO:wait wait=key ][System:PageBreak ]The same thing happens there. At[XENO:n ]
night, glowing ether fills the air.[XENO:wait wait=key ][XENO:act act=EVT_EXT6 ][XENO:del del=this ] |
| 10 |
|
126 |
[XENO:act act=EVT_EXT18 ]All right, I'm convinced.[XENO:wait wait=key ][XENO:del del=this ] |
| 11 |
|
126 |
[XENO:act act=EVT_EXT7 ]It's OK. My memory of it's[XENO:n ]
a little hazy anyway.[XENO:wait wait=key ][System:PageBreak ]I assume the effect is caused by[XENO:n ]
high ether content in the ground.[XENO:wait wait=key ][XENO:del del=this ] |
| 12 |
|
126 |
[XENO:act act=EVT_EXT1 ]Ether content?[XENO:wait wait=key ][XENO:act act=EVT_EXT3 ][XENO:del del=this ] |
| 13 |
|
126 |
[XENO:act act=EVT_EXT9 ]Surely you must know something[XENO:n ]
about ether content.[XENO:wait wait=key ][System:PageBreak ]How it's higher in some regions[XENO:n ]
of Bionis than in others?[XENO:wait wait=key ][XENO:del del=this ] |
| 14 |
|
126 |
[XENO:sel sel=・Especially the upper regions./・Especially the lower regions. ][XENO:del del=this ] |
| 15 |
|
126 |
[XENO:act act=EVT_EXT7 ]Right?[XENO:wait wait=key ][System:PageBreak ]The upper regions of Bionis are[XENO:n ]
known for their high ether content.[XENO:wait wait=key ][XENO:del del=this ] |
| 16 |
|
126 |
[XENO:act act=EVT1 ]Correct! You always know the[XENO:n ]
right answer, Dunban.[XENO:wait wait=key ][XENO:del del=this ] |
| 17 |
|
126 |
[XENO:act act=EVT_EXT9 ]Well, everyone knows that one.[XENO:wait wait=key ][XENO:del del=this ] |
| 18 |
|
126 |
[XENO:act act=EVT_EXT1 ]Anyway, the ruins are quite high[XENO:n ]
up on the Bionis.[XENO:wait wait=key ][XENO:act act=EVT_EXT3 ][XENO:del del=this ] |
| 19 |
|
126 |
[XENO:act act=EVT_EXT1 ]Do you remember much[XENO:n ]
about that time?[XENO:wait wait=key ][XENO:act act=EVT_EXT3 ][XENO:del del=this ] |
| 20 |
|
126 |
[XENO:act act=EVT2 ]I found my way into those ruins[XENO:n ]
but then I lost consciousness.[XENO:wait wait=key ][System:PageBreak ]That's about all I can remember[XENO:n ]
from back then.[XENO:wait wait=key ][System:PageBreak ][XENO:act act=EVT_EXT1 ]But for some reason I can just[XENO:n ]
about recall that ether glow.[XENO:wait wait=key ][XENO:act act=EVT_EXT3 ][XENO:del del=this ] |
| 21 |
|
126 |
[XENO:act act=EVT_EXT7 ]I suppose you'd never forget[XENO:n ]
a sight like that.[XENO:wait wait=key ][XENO:del del=this ] |
| 22 |
|
126 |
[XENO:act act=EVT_EXT13 ]What? No![XENO:wait wait=key ][System:PageBreak ]It's the upper regions that have[XENO:n ]
higher ether content![XENO:wait wait=key ][XENO:del del=this ] |
| 23 |
|
126 |
[XENO:act act=EVT_EXT16 ]Oh. Er... I see.[XENO:wait wait=key ][XENO:del del=this ] |
| 24 |
|
126 |
[XENO:act act=EVT_EXT15 ]Way down where we live, the[XENO:n ]
ether levels are at their lowest.[XENO:wait wait=key ][System:PageBreak ][XENO:act act=EVT_EXT1 ]That's why there aren't as many[XENO:n ]
rich ether mines.[XENO:wait wait=key ][XENO:act act=EVT_EXT3 ][XENO:del del=this ] |
| 25 |
|
126 |
[XENO:act act=EVT_EXT18 ]Well done, Shulk![XENO:n ]
You passed my test.[XENO:wait wait=key ][XENO:del del=this ] |
| 26 |
|
126 |
[XENO:act act=EVT4 ]So you're saying you were just[XENO:n ]
pretending not to know?[XENO:wait wait=key ][System:PageBreak ]Hmm...[XENO:wait wait=key ][XENO:del del=this ] |
| 27 |
|
126 |
[XENO:act act=EVT_EXT1 ]I'm so glad I got to see this[XENO:n ]
wondrous sight. Aren't you?[XENO:wait wait=key ][System:PageBreak ]I'd just love to spend some more[XENO:n ]
time exploring it...in silence...[XENO:wait wait=key ][XENO:act act=EVT_EXT3 ][XENO:del del=this ] |
| 28 |
|
126 |
[XENO:act act=EVT1 ]Whatever you say, Dunban.[XENO:wait wait=key ][XENO:del del=this ] |
| 29 |
|
126 |
It was at the ruins where me[XENO:n ]
and the Monado were found.[XENO:wait wait=key ][System:PageBreak ][XENO:act act=EVT_EXT12 ]The same thing happens there. At[XENO:n ]
night, glowing ether fills the air.[XENO:wait wait=key ][XENO:del del=this ] |
| 30 |
|
126 |
[XENO:act act=EVT_EXT1 ]So that's where you saw it.[XENO:wait wait=key ][XENO:act act=EVT_EXT3 ][XENO:del del=this ] |
| 31 |
|
126 |
[XENO:act act=EVT2 ]I don't remember much[XENO:n ]
about the ruins.[XENO:wait wait=key ][System:PageBreak ]I found my way in and then[XENO:n ]
I lost consciousness.[XENO:wait wait=key ][System:PageBreak ]That's about all I can remember[XENO:n ]
from back then, except the light.[XENO:wait wait=key ][XENO:del del=this ] |
| 32 |
|
126 |
[XENO:act act=EVT_EXT7 ]If it was as beautiful as this,[XENO:n ]
no wonder you remember it.[XENO:wait wait=key ][System:PageBreak ]Ether is an incredible thing.[XENO:wait wait=key ][XENO:del del=this ] |
| 33 |
|
126 |
[XENO:act act=EVT1 ]It really is.[XENO:wait wait=key ][XENO:del del=this ] |
| 34 |
|
126 |
[XENO:sel sel=・Will it ever run out?/・It can't be good for us. ][XENO:del del=this ] |
| 35 |
|
126 |
[XENO:act act=EVT_EXT4 ]Great question, Dunban![XENO:n ]
I've always wondered that.[XENO:wait wait=key ][XENO:act act=EVT_EXT6 ][XENO:del del=this ] |
| 36 |
|
126 |
[XENO:act act=EVT_EXT1 ]Great minds think alike.[XENO:n ]
And your thoughts?[XENO:wait wait=key ][XENO:act act=EVT_EXT3 ][XENO:del del=this ] |
| 37 |
|
126 |
[XENO:act act=EVT4 ]I can't draw any firm conclusions[XENO:n ]
or anything.[XENO:wait wait=key ][System:PageBreak ][XENO:act act=EVT_EXT1 ]All I know is, ether isn't unlimited.[XENO:n ]
So I guess it won't last forever.[XENO:wait wait=key ][XENO:act act=EVT_EXT3 ][XENO:del del=this ] |
| 38 |
|
126 |
[XENO:act act=EVT2 ]I don't suppose we have anything[XENO:n ]
to worry about in our lifetime.[XENO:wait wait=key ][XENO:del del=this ] |
| 39 |
|
126 |
[XENO:act act=EVT_EXT4 ]Maybe not. But we should still try[XENO:n ]
and find another energy source.[XENO:wait wait=key ][System:PageBreak ]We can't just rely on it[XENO:n ]
always being there.[XENO:wait wait=key ][XENO:act act=EVT_EXT6 ][XENO:del del=this ] |
| 40 |
|
126 |
[XENO:act act=EVT_EXT16 ]Energy aside, it will be a shame[XENO:n ]
when this natural beauty is gone.[XENO:wait wait=key ][XENO:del del=this ] |
| 41 |
|
126 |
[XENO:act act=EVT_EXT1 ]Yes... Whether that's a hundred[XENO:n ]
years from now or a thousand.[XENO:wait wait=key ][XENO:act act=EVT_EXT3 ][XENO:del del=this ] |
| 42 |
|
126 |
[XENO:act act=EVT_EXT13 ]Why do you think that? There's[XENO:n ]
no evidence to support it.[XENO:wait wait=key ][XENO:del del=this ] |
| 43 |
|
126 |
[XENO:act act=EVT2 ]It's just a feeling. Nothing more.[XENO:wait wait=key ][XENO:del del=this ] |
| 44 |
|
126 |
[XENO:act act=EVT_EXT15 ]Actually, we haven't made any big[XENO:n ]
leaps in researching this field.[XENO:wait wait=key ][System:PageBreak ]So it's still possible.[XENO:wait wait=key ][XENO:del del=this ] |
| 45 |
|
126 |
[XENO:act act=EVT_EXT1 ]It was just a passing thought.[XENO:n ]
Don't take it so seriously, Shulk.[XENO:wait wait=key ][XENO:act act=EVT_EXT3 ][XENO:del del=this ] |
| 46 |
|
126 |
[XENO:act act=EVT_EXT4 ]But you're right, Dunban.[XENO:wait wait=key ][System:PageBreak ]It has to be worth spending more[XENO:n ]
resources to study this.[XENO:wait wait=key ][XENO:act act=EVT_EXT6 ][XENO:del del=this ] |
| 47 |
|
126 |
[XENO:act act=EVT2 ]Hey, where are you going?[XENO:wait wait=key ][XENO:del del=this ] |
| 48 |
|
126 |
I'm gonna fetch my notes![XENO:wait wait=key ][XENO:del del=this ] |
| 49 |
|
126 |
But we were enjoying this strange[XENO:n ]
phenomenon![XENO:wait wait=key ][System:PageBreak ]You can take the boy out of the[XENO:n ]
lab, but not the lab out of the boy![XENO:wait wait=key ][XENO:del del=this ] |
