M'naago 	Hm! I knew the Alliance had spies in Gyr Abania, but in Radiata? Impressive...
 	
Alisaie 	...I suspect a handpicked contingent of the Ala Mhigan Brigade's finest would have been equally, if not more, qualified...but what do I know.
 	
Pipin 	Perhaps you recall the night we first met outside the Sil'dihn ruins, under such unfortunate circumstances? I had just returned from a meeting with my Ala Mhigan agents. As I said before, we have been preparing for this day.
 	
serpent officer	We have lost so many men already... If we suffer another defeat like that, this campaign is over.
 	
storm officer 	We will have our retribution. It is but a matter of time.
 	
Raubahn 	Had Alphinaud not volunteered you, I would have asked. If anyone can see this mission through, it's you.
 	
Arenvald 	We'll be fighting with the main host when the time comes to attack Castrum Abania. I swear by everything that is holy─we won't lose!
 	
V'mahtia 	There you go again, getting all worked up...though it could be worse. So long as you don't start saying bollocks like, “I'll never forgive them!” Makes for a terrible battle cry, you know?
 	
J'moldva 	Many of the J tribe call this place home. I shudder to think what would become of them if we fail.
Lyse 	Thanks for standing by me, [Player Name]. Together, we'll make Conrad proud!
Alphinaud 	So, to review: we are to travel to Radiata, where we will meet with a contact recruited by Marshal Tarupin's agents.
Alphinaud 	I took the liberty of reviewing intelligence reports while [Player Name] and Lyse were away, so the settlement is not wholly unfamiliar to me...
Alphinaud 	As the vice marshal indicated, the vast majority of the populace is employed as menial labor in either Specula Imperatoris or Castrum Abania. Perhaps as a result of this, the Resistance has long struggled to make inroads there.
M'naago 	Aye, you have the right of it. They got a better deal than most Ala Mhigans─feeding off what scraps the imperials gave 'em. Damned if I know how Marshal Tarupin's agents got one of them to turn his coat.
Alphinaud 	I understand your disdain, I do. But I also understand their desire to look after their families by any means necessary...
Alphinaud 	Our contact is a Roegadyn woman. She will ask us a question. After we answer with “courage,” she will know us as friends.
Lyse 	"Courage.“ Right.
Put together a squadron, Naago. We'll need them soon.
Alphinaud 	With me, my friends─and be ready for anything.
Alisaie 	Keep an eye out, would you? Something doesn't feel right...
Lyse 	I know you're out there...
Alphinaud 	If there were magitek armor nearby, surely we would have heard them by now?
Alphinaud 	See? What did I tell you? Let us continue on to Specula Imperatoris!
Balloon 	Savages!?
Alisaie 	Whew. That would have been an unceremonious ending to our tale.
 	
Lyse 	Heh, nothing to it!
 	
Alphinaud 	Of course there were still soldiers lurking about... Fortunately, they were no match for Lyse. Come─Radiata is not much further.
Alphinaud 	Of course, in light of our recent encounter, it would be prudent to proceed with caution and remain vigilant for imperial forces...
 	
Alisaie 	I thought they said this was a village? It looks more like a work camp...
 	
Alphinaud 	Nary a soldier in sight. Mayhap they were recalled to Castrum Abania...
 	
Lyse 	Looks like it's safe to enter. I don't see any imperials...
Lyse 	Hmm... I don't see smoke above Castrum Abania anymore. Do you think they fixed the cannon already...?
Quest complete.	Quest complete.
