Ah, Rex. Good to see you. |
| 2 |
|
tlk400701_msg0002 |
84 |
Yeah, um, hi... |
| 3 |
|
tlk400701_msg0003 |
84 |
Don't look so down. |
| 4 |
|
tlk400701_msg0050 |
84 |
The boss left a message with me.
To give to you, if anything ever
happened to him. |
| 5 |
|
tlk400701_msg0004 |
84 |
A message from Vandham, for me?!
You don't think...he knew he'd...? |
| 6 |
|
tlk400701_msg0005 |
84 |
Maybe. But if you ask me,
I don't think he knew. |
| 7 |
|
tlk400701_msg0006 |
84 |
It's just the kind of life us mercenaries
live. You never know which day might
turn out to be your last. |
| 8 |
|
tlk400701_msg0007 |
84 |
So it's not uncommon for us to leave
messages like this, just in case. |
| 9 |
|
tlk400701_msg0008 |
84 |
... |
| 10 |
|
tlk400701_msg0009 |
84 |
Now listen up, because this
is important. |
| 11 |
|
tlk400701_msg0010 |
84 |
"Rex. I leave the Garfont Mercenaries
in your hands." |
| 12 |
|
tlk400701_msg0011 |
84 |
...?! |
| 13 |
|
tlk400701_msg0012 |
84 |
... |
| 14 |
|
tlk400701_msg0013 |
84 |
Um... Is there anything else? |
| 15 |
|
tlk400701_msg0014 |
84 |
Nope. That's your lot. |
| 16 |
|
tlk400701_msg0015 |
84 |
What?! Leaving it to me...
That's a joke, right?! |
| 17 |
|
tlk400701_msg0016 |
84 |
This is no joke, kid.
It's Vandham through and through - he
says what he means, no more, no less. |
| 18 |
|
tlk400701_msg0017 |
84 |
Well, I mean, I won't deny it's simple,
but... Why would he ask me to...? |
| 19 |
|
tlk400701_msg0018 |
84 |
The boss thought a lot of you, kid.
And I think you've struck a chord
with the rest of us, too. |
| 20 |
|
tlk400701_msg0019 |
84 |
You're an honest, straightforward guy,
with plenty of nerve and resolve.
And...you give us all hope. |
| 21 |
|
tlk400701_msg0020 |
84 |
I don't think...I can really take
all the credit for any of that... |
| 22 |
|
tlk400701_msg0021 |
84 |
Maybe not.
But there's something about you, kid.
Everyone feels it. |
| 23 |
|
tlk400701_msg0022 |
84 |
So tell me, Rex.
Will you do as the boss asks? |
| 24 |
|
tlk400701_msg0023 |
165 |
Take over the Garfont Mercenaries? |
| 25 |
|
tlk400701_msg0024 |
165 |
Yes |
| 26 |
|
tlk400701_msg0025 |
165 |
No |
| 27 |
|
tlk400701_msg0026 |
84 |
...All right.
I'll do it! |
| 28 |
|
tlk400701_msg0027 |
84 |
Strong words, well said!
Nothing less from the guy old
Vandham staked his hopes in! |
| 29 |
|
tlk400701_msg0028 |
84 |
But, um... What exactly would I
have to do, as the band's leader? |
| 30 |
|
tlk400701_msg0051 |
84 |
You said you don't have any other
messages from Vandham, right? |
| 31 |
|
tlk400701_msg0029 |
84 |
Nope. He's a man of few words. |
| 32 |
|
tlk400701_msg0030 |
84 |
But of course, you'll have me
and Zuo to help you out. |
| 33 |
|
tlk400701_msg0031 |
84 |
We couldn't ask you to suddenly
handle all the operations on your own. |
| 34 |
|
tlk400701_msg0032 |
84 |
You just dole out the big general
orders for now. You can count on
us to take care of the details. |
| 35 |
|
tlk400701_msg0033 |
84 |
And then...I guess we'll see how
things go from there. |
| 36 |
|
tlk400701_msg0034 |
84 |
OK. I guess I can probably handle that. |
| 37 |
|
tlk400701_msg0035 |
84 |
Right! Then let's start by explaining
how things work around here. |
| 38 |
|
tlk400701_msg0036 |
84 |
Our little band takes on all kinds of
assignments from all across Alrest. |
| 39 |
|
tlk400701_msg0037 |
84 |
From escort missions and clearing out
monsters, down to gathering materials,
and sometimes even smaller things. |
| 40 |
|
tlk400701_msg0038 |
84 |
But tell me something, Rex. I get the
feeling you've got more Blades than
you know what to do with. Am I wrong? |
| 41 |
|
tlk400701_msg0039 |
84 |
If you've got Blades sitting around
doing nothing, you can assign them to
carry out missions as part of the band. |
| 42 |
|
tlk400701_msg0040 |
84 |
It'll be good experience for them,
and you'll reap the rewards to boot. |
| 43 |
|
tlk400701_msg0041 |
84 |
Tell you what, it'll be quicker to explain
if you try it out for yourself. Go ahead,
choose a mission and try clearing it. |
| 44 |
|
tlk400701_msg0042 |
84 |
Rex... |
| 45 |
|
tlk400701_msg0043 |
84 |
Could you think back to
Vandham's last moments? |
| 46 |
|
tlk400701_msg0044 |
84 |
You're the only ones who were
there to witness it... |
| 47 |
|
tlk400701_msg0045 |
84 |
Me and Zuo have no way of
knowing the details. |
| 48 |
|
tlk400701_msg0046 |
84 |
How d'you think he felt, at the end?
What led him to sacrifice himself? |
| 49 |
|
tlk400701_msg0047 |
84 |
Did he believe he'd found something
worth giving his life for? |
| 50 |
|
tlk400701_msg0048 |
84 |
I want you to think carefully about that. |
| 51 |
