1 qev055801_MSG0001 Surviving on this planet as an Orphean is difficult.[ST:n ]All the more so for an individual who lacks any[ST:n ]particular technological expertise.[ST:wait ]
2 qev055801_MSG0002 Which brings me to a question—have you ever seen[ST:n ]the Prone control wild beasts?[ST:wait ]
3 qev055801_JNK0010 Confirm
4 qev055801_SEL0011 Say that you have.
5 qev055801_JNK0020 Deny
6 qev055801_SEL0021 Say you haven't had the pleasure.
7 qev055801_MSG0003 Then I am glad to have found an expert![ST:n ]Please describe to me what you saw.[ST:wait ]
8 qev055801_MSG0004 Hmm... Mmm-hmm, yes. Yes, I see.[ST:n ]That all conforms to my own research.[ST:wait ]
9 qev055801_MSG0005 This may actually work...[ST:wait ]
10 qev055801_MSG0006 I have succeeded in synthesizing a copy of the incense[ST:n ]they use when taking command of beasts, you see.[ST:wait ]
11 qev055801_MSG0007 I see. I also have not witnessed it firsthand.[ST:wait ]
12 qev055801_MSG0008 But after a series of investigations, I have succeeded in[ST:n ]synthesizing the incense they use when taking command[ST:n ]of beasts.[ST:wait ]
13 qev055801_MSG0009 Though I sadly cannot rival their powerful physiques,[ST:n ]mastering their beast-taming techniques should improve[ST:n ]my survivability considerably.[ST:wait ]
14 qev055801_MSG0010 I plan to begin trials shortly. Might I ask your help?[ST:wait ]
15 qev055801_MSG0011 Thank you. These experiments will be dangerous—[ST:n ]quite possibly lethal, should something go wrong—[ST:n ]and I do not have the nerve to perform them alone.[ST:wait ]
16 qev055801_MSG0012 Let us head to the Shadow Beach, where I will use this[ST:n ]incense to tame a grand lophid.[ST:wait ]
17 qev055801_MSG0013 Ah, look! There is a grand lophid now.[ST:wait ]
18 qev055801_MSG0014 I will attempt to tame it. If the incense yields no effect,[ST:n ]please intercede immediately. Will you do this?[ST:wait ]
19 qev055801_JNK0030 Confirm
20 qev055801_SEL0031 Tell Min'barac that he has nothing to worry about.
21 qev055801_JNK0040 Worry
22 qev055801_SEL0041 Express concern that it might eat[ST:n ]Min'barac before you can react.
23 qev055801_MSG0015 I suppose a beast of that size is no threat to one of[ST:n ]your ability.[ST:wait ]
24 qev055801_MSG0016 If I am honest, I envy you—you possess the strength to[ST:n ]defend yourself without resorting to risky tactics such as[ST:n ]I must.[ST:wait ]
25 qev055801_MSG0017 I am aware the chances of this experiment succeeding[ST:n ]are slim, but fear I am incapable of surviving on Mira[ST:n ]otherwise.[ST:wait ]
26 qev055801_MSG0018 Framed in that context, it is a gamble worth taking.[ST:wait ]
27 qev055801_MSG0019 I will begin the test now. ...Heh. Despite the dire[ST:n ]circumstances, my Ovah is exhilarated.[ST:wait ]
28 qev055801_MSG0020 If I succeed in making a beast like that my servant,[ST:n ]it would fill me with quite a sense of accomplishment.[ST:n ]Almost as if I showed it up somehow.[ST:wait ]
29 qev055801_MSG0021 I WILL master it. I refuse to be underestimated by a[ST:n ]beast like that again.[ST:wait ]
30 qev055801_MSG0022 It...it is working! ...Good beast. Closer now.[ST:n ]Nice and slow...[ST:wait ]
31 qev055801_MSG0023 Ah, you are back.[ST:n ]I have finished gathering information.[ST:wait ]
32 qev055801_MSG0024 I must admit, I never thought the Prone and other races[ST:n ]would be so kind and approachable.[ST:wait ]
33 qev055801_JNK0050 Nod
34 qev055801_SEL0051 Agree that there are very few bad seeds in NLA.
35 qev055801_JNK0060 Query
36 qev055801_SEL0061 Ask who Min'barac made friends with.
37 qev055801_MSG0025 Truly a fine bunch—yourself included. I did encounter[ST:n ]some cultural differences, but they were well within[ST:n ]tolerances.[ST:wait ]
38 qev055801_MSG0026 I spoke with a Prone called Selia, a Ma-non named[ST:n ]Noborata, and the Nopon Tikotiko.[ST:wait ]
39 qev055801_MSG0027 Apparently they all frequently gather information here.[ST:n ]They were most knowledgeable, and I found our[ST:n ]conversations to be quite illuminating.[ST:wait ]
40 qev055801_MSG0028 You there. You saved Min'barac's life?[ST:wait ]
41 qev055801_MSG0029 That Orphean is mad. Prone would never attempt[ST:n ]such risky taming.[ST:wait ]
42 qev055801_MSG0030 But it should be possible, so long as I produce the[ST:n ]incense just as you taught me, Selia.[ST:wait ]
43 qev055801_MSG0031 The Prone recipe calls for an amidresian tomato,[ST:n ]three jagged mortars, and two units of meditation[ST:n ]powder.[ST:wait ]
44 qev055801_MSG0032 I hate to ask, but could you procure them for me?[ST:n ]I would like to remain here to review the taming[ST:n ]procedure a few more times.[ST:wait ]
45 qev055801_MSG0033 The more I learn of this Prone rite, the deeper it seems.[ST:n ]I was naive to think that simply gathering information[ST:n ]on it would make me a master.[ST:wait ]
46 qev055801_MSG0034 But master it I will, and that will be the day I acquire[ST:n ]the strength to survive. For now, I entrust you with[ST:n ]gathering the ingredients.[ST:wait ]
47 qev055801_MSG0035 If they prove elusive, I suggest you ask my[ST:n ]knowledgeable associates here.[ST:wait ]
48 qev055801_MSG0036 Preparations are complete here,[ST:n ][ST:playername ].[ST:wait ]
49 qev055801_MSG0037 And what about you?[ST:n ]Have you secured the ingredients for the incense?[ST:wait ]
50 qev055801_MSG0038 Thank you.[ST:n ]...Does this look right, Selia?[ST:wait ]
51 qev055801_MSG0039 Yes. You can make servant of anything with that.[ST:n ]Even belgazus or valdileo will bend knee![ST:wait ]
52 qev055801_MSG0040 Then I am off to the shore.[ST:n ]Thank you all for your generous help.[ST:wait ]
53 qev055801_MSG0041 Tell us if you have trouble. Everyone here is lazy bum.[ST:n ]Too busy sitting to work or fight.[ST:wait ]
54 qev055801_MSG0042 We must help when we can.[ST:n ]Otherwise Old Ones will smite us all! Ha ha![ST:wait ]
55 qev055801_MSG0043 Strange. She does not possess an Ovah, yet I feel a[ST:n ]great warmth in her words. How is that possible?[ST:wait ]
56 qev055801_JNK0070 Explain
57 qev055801_SEL0071 Say that good intentions are[ST:n ]all you need to form a bond.
58 qev055801_JNK0080 Query
59 qev055801_SEL0081 Ask if the Ovah is really such a central thing.
60 qev055801_MSG0044 I see. I have always been mystified by that aspect of[ST:n ]the interpersonal relationships of other races.[ST:wait ]
61 qev055801_MSG0045 But lately, I have come to place my trust in bonds[ST:n ]made apart from the Ovah as well.[ST:wait ]
62 qev055801_MSG0046 It is absolute—our sole guiding truth.[ST:wait ]
63 qev055801_MSG0047 ...Yet I am beginning to see the possibility of other[ST:n ]sorts of bonds between individuals as well.[ST:wait ]
64 qev055801_MSG0048 I will meet you on the Shadow Beach once more,[ST:n ][ST:playername ].[ST:wait ]
65 qev055801_MSG0049 After all her help, I owe it to Selia to succeed this time.[ST:wait ]
66 qev055801_MSG0050 We are fortunate that another grand lophid is there.[ST:wait ]
67 qev055801_MSG0051 We seem to have caught it off guard...[ST:n ]Now is our chance![ST:wait ]
68 qev055801_JNK0090 Cheer
69 qev055801_SEL0091 Urge the enthusiastic Min'barac on.
70 qev055801_JNK0100 Worry
71 qev055801_SEL0101 Express concern that Min'barac will be eaten after all.
72 qev055801_MSG0052 Hearing those words from someone such as you fills me[ST:n ]with courage.[ST:wait ]
73 qev055801_MSG0053 This time I am armed with Selia's special incense.[ST:n ]I will not fail to make the beast mine![ST:wait ]
74 qev055801_MSG0054 You are as kind as ever, just like the others I met.[ST:wait ]
75 qev055801_MSG0055 But you need not worry—I have Selia's incense this[ST:n ]time, and will not fail to make the beast mine![ST:wait ]
76 qev055801_MSG0056 Match my breathing to its own... Meet its eyes...[ST:n ]Take hold of the beast's spirit![ST:wait ]
77 qev055801_MSG0057 It's just as Selia said! This creature is now my servant.[ST:wait ]
78 qev055801_MSG0058 Slowly, now... Easy... And come to me![ST:wait ]
