1 qev056101_MSG0001 Ah, [ST:playername ]![ST:n ]I have been looking for you.[ST:wait ]
2 qev056101_MSG0002 I have need once more for the strength that freed us[ST:n ]from the Ganglion and led us to safety.[ST:wait ]
3 qev056101_MSG0003 Before explaining any further, allow me to ask how[ST:n ]familiar you are with the recent anomaly within the[ST:n ]Orphean population.[ST:wait ]
4 qev056101_MSG0004 The division of one of my people produced a mutation.[ST:n ]Do you know of this beta phenotype or \"betaform\"?[ST:wait ]
5 qev056101_JNK0010 Inquire
6 qev056101_SEL0011 Ask to hear more about it.
7 qev056101_JNK0020 Confirm
8 qev056101_SEL0021 Make sure that On'tonam means the red Orphean.
9 qev056101_MSG0005 They bear a striking red coloration, and have only[ST:n ]begun to appear since we took asylum in New LA.[ST:wait ]
10 qev056101_MSG0006 In addition to various morphological differences,[ST:n ]their psychology is unlike that of other Orpheans.[ST:wait ]
11 qev056101_MSG0007 So you have already made contact?[ST:wait ]
12 qev056101_MSG0008 Then you have witnessed firsthand how different their[ST:n ]psychology is from that of conventional Orpheans.[ST:wait ]
13 qev056101_MSG0009 They are illogical and extremely curious.[ST:n ]Almost humanlike, in that regard.[ST:wait ]
14 qev056101_MSG0010 Recently, these betaforms have begun to argue[ST:n ]that the Orphe should shut out the voice of their[ST:n ]Ovah and live according to their own free will.[ST:wait ]
15 qev056101_MSG0011 It has escalated to the point where they speak of an[ST:n ]anti-Ovah revolution.[ST:wait ]
16 qev056101_MSG0012 They clashed with my own group, then departed for[ST:n ]Noctilum after an extensive series of debates.[ST:wait ]
17 qev056101_MSG0013 As you know, that forest is rife with danger.[ST:n ]It is hardly a place where Orpheans could survive[ST:n ]without protection.[ST:wait ]
18 qev056101_MSG0014 I would like you to find them and return them to the[ST:n ]safety of the city—by force if necessary.[ST:wait ]
19 qev056101_JNK0110 Decline
20 qev056101_SEL0111 Say that the Orphe should resolve this split internally.
21 qev056101_JNK0120 Query
22 qev056101_SEL0121 Ask to hear more about this new faction.
23 qev056101_JNK0130 Suggest
24 qev056101_SEL0131 Tell On'tonam that his group should respect[ST:n ]the choice of the other Orpheans.
25 qev056101_MSG0015 I lack the strength to perform this task myself.[ST:wait ]
26 qev056101_MSG0016 And even if I were able to locate them, Run'tonam—[ST:n ]the anti-Ovah revolution movement's leader—would[ST:n ]likely refuse to hear anything I said.[ST:wait ]
27 qev056101_MSG0017 We exchanged countless words over the course of our[ST:n ]debates, but in the end my side was unable to correct[ST:n ]her thinking.[ST:wait ]
28 qev056101_MSG0018 But a human like you should be able to speak with[ST:n ]them more easily.[ST:wait ]
29 qev056101_MSG0019 Their leader, Run'tonam, calls for an end to obedience[ST:n ]to the Ovah.[ST:wait ]
30 qev056101_MSG0020 Instead, she favors reliance on free will,[ST:n ]akin to the way you humans live.[ST:wait ]
31 qev056101_MSG0021 We argued the point during countless debates,[ST:n ]but in the end I failed to correct her bizarre thinking.[ST:wait ]
32 qev056101_MSG0022 But a human like you should be able to speak with[ST:n ]them more easily.[ST:wait ]
33 qev056101_MSG0023 You and Run'tonam think alike—she is the leader of the[ST:n ]anti-Ovah revolutionary movement.[ST:wait ]
34 qev056101_MSG0024 But the fact remains that they will most certainly die out[ST:n ]there if left alone.[ST:wait ]
35 qev056101_MSG0025 Their thinking may be almost human,[ST:n ]but their physiology remains that of the frail Orphe.[ST:wait ]
36 qev056101_MSG0026 Can I depend on you to find Run'tonam and the others[ST:n ]who left with her?[ST:wait ]
37 qev056101_MSG0027 Run'tonam left with Mun'luarb, Man'celeg,[ST:n ]and Rin'luarb.[ST:wait ]
38 qev056101_MSG0028 By our calculations, the probability of them surviving in[ST:n ]Noctilum unassisted is zero.[ST:wait ]
39 qev056101_MSG0029 But you humans have defied our calculations on several[ST:n ]instances in the past.[ST:wait ]
40 qev056101_MSG0030 I ask that you put that unpredictable and inscrutable[ST:n ]ability of yours to use again and keep my fellow[ST:n ]Orpheans safe.[ST:wait ]
41 qev056101_MSG0031 Run'tonam believes something of vital importance to us[ST:n ]Orphe exists in the depths of Noctilum.[ST:wait ]
42 qev056101_MSG0032 It is a fool's delusion.[ST:wait ]
43 qev056101_MSG0033 Our Ovah clearly states that we are not to approach[ST:n ]the woods in that region again.[ST:wait ]
44 qev056101_MSG0034 Please find them and bring them back safely.[ST:wait ]
45 qev056101_MSG0035 What is this...? My Ovah seethes![ST:wait ]
46 qev056101_MSG0036 What has happened?[ST:n ]Where are Run'tonam and the others?[ST:wait ]
47 qev056101_JNK0210 Report
48 qev056101_SEL0211 Tell On'tonam that they were eaten by indigens.
49 qev056101_JNK0220 Relay
50 qev056101_SEL0221 Deliver Run'tonam's message.
51 qev056101_MSG0037 That is the fate of those who would deny the Ovah...[ST:wait ]
52 qev056101_MSG0038 Expanding our numbers to secure a future for the[ST:n ]Orphe on Mira is our first priority. We should have[ST:n ]been united in that.[ST:wait ]
53 qev056101_MSG0039 ...Devoured by a beast? And yet her last words were[ST:n ]that we must learn to master our Ovah?[ST:wait ]
54 qev056101_MSG0040 Ridiculous! The Ovah is ever with us, and we with it.[ST:wait ]
55 qev056101_MSG0041 To betray that is to negate any meaning to our[ST:n ]existence here.[ST:wait ]
56 qev056101_MSG0042 This should at least show any other anti-Ovah[ST:n ]supporters the folly of their stance.[ST:wait ]
57 qev056101_MSG0043 These deaths are stark evidence that we cannot live[ST:n ]without the guidance of the Ovah.[ST:wait ]
58 qev056101_MSG0044 The loss of Run'tonam and the others pains me,[ST:n ]but I hope this will bring the Orphe together again.[ST:wait ]
59 qev056101_MSG0045 I plan to take an active role in guiding new divisions[ST:n ]so that this tragedy is not repeated.[ST:wait ]
60 qev056101_MSG0046 In the meantime, you have completed the task I asked[ST:n ]of you. Please accept your reward.[ST:wait ]
61 qev056101_MSG0047 What is this...? My Ovah seethes![ST:wait ]
62 qev056101_MSG0048 What has happened?[ST:n ]Where are Run'tonam and the others?[ST:wait ]
63 qev056101_MSG0049 This... Is this truly her right hand?[ST:n ]Then she was eaten...[ST:wait ]
64 qev056101_MSG0050 ......[ST:wait ]
65 qev056101_MSG0051 Hmm... It seems I can still sense the Ovah that once[ST:n ]flowed within her.[ST:wait ]
66 qev056101_MSG0052 Only...[ST:wait ]
67 qev056101_MSG0053 No! It cannot be![ST:wait ]
68 qev056101_MSG0054 Is this the world seen by the Ovah before they came to[ST:n ]reside within the Orphe?[ST:wait ]
69 qev056101_MSG0055 We had already encountered that terrible beast,[ST:n ]even then?[ST:wait ]
70 qev056101_JNK0310 Query
71 qev056101_SEL0311 Ask On'tonam what he saw.
72 qev056101_JNK0320 Relay
73 qev056101_SEL0321 Deliver Run'tonam's message.
74 qev056101_MSG0056 It was...a memory. From a time before the Orphe[ST:n ]evolved and appeared on the stage of history.[ST:wait ]
75 qev056101_MSG0057 A memory from an age when the Ovah existed as a[ST:n ]single entity floating in the ocean of another world.[ST:wait ]
76 qev056101_MSG0058 It was not a clear or cohesive vision...[ST:wait ]
77 qev056101_MSG0059 But the creature you slew was there as well,[ST:n ]living within a different ecology.[ST:wait ]
78 qev056101_MSG0060 I do not know what this memory means.[ST:wait ]
79 qev056101_MSG0061 But it is a glimpse of some deeper truth which[ST:n ]Run'tonam gave her life to uncover.[ST:wait ]
80 qev056101_MSG0062 We must change...[ST:wait ]
81 qev056101_MSG0063 I feel as if I can understand what she meant by that,[ST:n ]now that I have touched her Ovah.[ST:wait ]
82 qev056101_MSG0064 I was unable to comprehend the thinking of those that[ST:n ]rejected the Ovah.[ST:wait ]
83 qev056101_MSG0065 But this planet holds many mysteries that cannot be[ST:n ]explained with the information we have now.[ST:n ]That beast is a fine example.[ST:wait ]
84 qev056101_MSG0066 If we hope to preserve the Orphe as a race on Mira,[ST:n ]it will take a more advanced form of reasoning than[ST:n ]even the will of the Ovah can provide.[ST:wait ]
85 qev056101_MSG0067 I will take both Run'tonam's words and her life into me.[ST:wait ]
86 qev056101_MSG0068 From now on, I will seek out a new path forward as[ST:n ]she did.[ST:wait ]
87 qev056101_MSG0069 Thank you for bringing her will back to me.[ST:n ]I am truly grateful.[ST:wait ]
88 qev056101_MSG0070 You have helped me change my entire perspective.[ST:n ]I now feel ready to speak to the anti-Ovah revolutionists[ST:n ]with a flexible and open mind.[ST:wait ]
