1 qst650511_msg0001 84 Here we are - this is Masrah Spring!
2 qst650511_msg0002 84 A mysterious-looking place, isn't it... It reminds me of Noctilum.
3 qst650511_msg0003 84 Noctilum, eh? Is that where you're from, Elma?
4 qst650511_msg0004 84 No, not remotely. The place I come from is very different still.
5 qst650511_msg0005 84 Noctilum is a region of the planet Mira. I lived among the humans whose ship, the White Whale, landed on Mira.
6 qst650511_msg0006 84 Tora not really understand "planet"... But "White Whale" is like big-huge fish-shape Titan ship?
7 qst650511_msg0007 84 No, it's quite different from a Titan... The name is a reference to something in an old human book.
8 qst650511_msg0008 84 Anyway, Mira isn't my real home...
9 qst650511_msg0009 84 But me and my comrades are working hard to make it a fitting second home for mankind.
10 qst650511_msg0010 84 Though you speak of another world, the story is a familiar one. Mankind finds a way to strive and overcome.
11 qst650511_msg0011 84 It sure sounds like it. And Noctilum didn't exactly welcome us with open arms.
12 qst650511_msg0012 84 Its enormous trees and indigenous wildlife push back against us, every step of the way...
13 qst650511_msg0013 84 But it's unavoidable, if we're to make ourselves part of the Miran ecosystem.
14 qst650511_msg0014 84 Sounds like a right faff if you ask me...
15 qst650511_msg0015 84 Yeah, but I feel like I get it.
16 qst650511_msg0016 84 It's not like we haven't had to kill some living creatures, or run away from some monsters from time to time.
17 qst650511_msg0017 84 It's all just part and parcel of living in a world as rich as Alrest, right?
18 qst650511_msg0018 84 Exactly. People have to exist inside the world that surrounds them...
19 qst650511_msg0019 84 Well, enough talk for now. Let's do the neighborly thing and introduce ourselves to this area.
