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. |

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 |

Say that the Orphe should resolve this split internally. |

|
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. |

|
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. |

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 ] |
