It would appear we are here.
This is the Ancient Wall which we were
to investigate. |

The land seems ravaged.
It's like some ancient battleground. |
| 3 |
|
qst650513_msg0003 |
84 |
That is exactly what it is. |
| 4 |
|
qst650513_msg0004 |
84 |
Well, to be honest, it's also a fairly
recent battleground. |
| 5 |
|
qst650513_msg0005 |
84 |
Indeed... Regrettably, one of the parties
responsible for that was my homeland,
the Ardainian Empire. |
| 6 |
|
qst650513_msg0006 |
84 |
I assume from your tone,
you were against it? |
| 7 |
|
qst650513_msg0007 |
84 |
Completely.
Of course, in certain matters
conflict is simply unavoidable... |
| 8 |
|
qst650513_msg0008 |
84 |
But this was not one of those matters. |
| 9 |
|
qst650513_msg0009 |
84 |
It was a foolish dispute to start,
made worse by fools who sought
to use it for their own benefit. |
| 10 |
|
qst650513_msg0010 |

...Nothing more. |
| 11 |
|
qst650513_msg0011 |

This world is much like mine, then. |

qst650513_msg0012 |

Was it like that on Mira, too? |
| 13 |
|
qst650513_msg0013 |
84 |
Oh, our struggle for survival on Mira
is a simple thing in comparison. |

I was thinking of the rise and fall of
entire space-faring civilizations in the
more distant past of my universe... |
| 15 |
|
qst650513_msg0015 |
84 |
A clash between two great forces in
the near vicinity of Earth space...
That conflict was foolish in the utmost. |
| 16 |
|
qst650513_msg0016 |
84 |
I do not comprehend every nuance of
meaning in your words, yet the depth of
desolation behind them is clear as day. |
| 17 |
|
qst650513_msg0017 |
84 |
For my part, small though it may be,
I wish to quell what senseless conflict
is within my means to quell. |
| 18 |
|
qst650513_msg0018 |

I feel exactly the same... |
