Abquhbah: Oh, it's just you, Player name. 
You had me worried there for a second.
Abquhbah: You see, we have some very important guests arriving from the palace today, and the office is in an uproar.
Abquhbah: Although, thankfully, it's put President Naja in a good mood.
Abquhbah: Not like the last time you walked through that door!
Abquhbah: Look at her smile. 
She's been like that ever since the messenger from the palace came by...
Naja Salaheem: Lala, lala~.♪ 
Lala, lala~.♪
Naja Salaheem: !!!
Naja Salaheem: Player name...
How long have ya been standin' there?
Naja Salaheem: Ya don't just sneak up without announcin' yourself to your superior!
Naja Salaheem: That's a good way to get your skull crrracked.
Naja Salaheem: Why didn't ya speak up!?
:I...
::...I'm afraid of your spiky mace. <----- Chose this option!
::...I was listening to your singing.
Naja Salaheem: My morningstar gives ya goosebumps, does it?
Naja Salaheem: Heh... 
That's why ya kept quiet...?
Naja Salaheem: Let me tell ya somethin'.
Naja Salaheem: This isn't just a weapon. 
It's a tool with which I exprrress “affection” for my employees!
Naja Salaheem: If I ever make ya bleed with this mace, just think of those drops as my crrrimson tears!
:I...
::...I'm afraid of your spiky mace.
::...I was listening to your singing. <----- Chose this option!
Naja Salaheem: Wha-! You were listening to that!? How 'bout I take my morningstar here... and beat that melody outta your head?
Naja Salaheem: I don't have time for any more of this idle chitchat.
Naja Salaheem: I'm expectin' some very important, very rich visitors at any moment.
Naja Salaheem: The Immortal who brought me this wonderful news is still here as well!
Naja Salaheem: You need to scoot, Player name. You're just in the way! 
Go on! Shoo!
Abquhbah: President Naja!
Abquhbah: You have visitors!
Abquhbah: May I present the honorable Aphmau, the palace puppetmaster!
Naja Salaheem: You're early...! 
Isn't that wonderful!
Naja Salaheem: Player name! 
Go stand in the corner and keep your trrrap shut!
Ovjang: Please, be at ease.
Naja Salaheem: (What's with that upjumped puppet?)
Abquhbah: (I believe her name is...Ovjang?)
Naja Salaheem: (That's not what I'm askin'!)
Ovjang: Was there something...?
Naja Salaheem: You are most gracious to take the time to visit our humble offices.
Naja Salaheem: Please, come this way...ah...
Ovjang: What a disorganized operation!
Naja Salaheem: ...!?
Rishfee: That's right, you have yet to be introduced.
Rishfee: This is the court puppetmaster, Aphmau...
Aphmau: And this is my dear companion, Ovjang...
Naja Salaheem: Please forgive my ignornce, Miss Ovjang. 
I am Naja, a loyal servant of the Empire.
Ovjang: Hmmm...
Naja Salaheem: ...
Rishfee: Speak up, Ovjang. 
You're the one who wanted to come here in the first place.
Ovjang: ...
Aphmau: Ovjang!
Ovjang: ...
Ovjang: Apology accepted.
Rishfee: There you go.
Ovjang: Who is this person?
Ovjang: He/She wears a wildcat badge. 
A mercenary?
Naja Salaheem: Th-that's just a...a mannequin I ordered from the Middle Lands.
Ovjang: Is that right?
Ovjang: No matter.
Amnaf: Naja. 
Please answer Ovjang's question without the humor.
Naja Salaheem: Of course. 
That is Player name, a citizen of the Middle Lands come to work as a mercenary for the Empire.
Ovjang: I see.
Ovjang: Has the matter been explained?
Amnaf: We are about to begin.
Ovjang: Hmph. 
Be quick about it.
Amnaf: Naja. 
I will now read to you a confidential request from Nashmeira the Second, Empress of Aht Urhgan.
Naja Salaheem: Please continue...
Amnaf: "Salaheem's Sentinels.
Amnaf: "We hereby order you to ease the hearts of the people by uncovering the truth behind the rumored ghost ship.
Amnaf: "If this rumor proves to be nothing more than a hoax, you are to deal with those responsible. 
Nashmeira II."
Naja Salaheem: Gh-ghosts...?
Amnaf: Is there a problem?
Naja Salaheem: No, no problem...
Naja Salaheem: I humbly accept this honor and promise to serve the Empire in any function she should require.
Rishfee: One more thing.
Rishfee: This task is to be carried out with the utmost secrecy. Draw no undue attention from citizens or soldiers of the Empire.
Rishfee: For this reason, command of the operation has been given to Aphmau.
Naja Salaheem: To the puppetmaster...?
Ovjang: Surely you have no cause for disagreement?
Naja Salaheem: N-none at all. 
Great to have you aboard.
Ovjang: Well, then.
Ovjang: We will require you to provide us with a capable mercenary.
Naja Salaheem: Let me think...
Naja Salaheem: Why not take Player name here? 
I'm sure he/she would be delighted to assist you.
:Disagree?
::Strongly disagree! <----- Chose this option!
::Probably not wise...
Naja Salaheem: You ungrateful... 
Show some damn respect!
Ovjang: Oho!
Ovjang: What an interesting phrase.
Ovjang: I'll have to remember that. 
:Disagree?
::Strongly disagree!
::Probably not wise... <----- Chose this option!
Ovjang: Excellent. 
You will receive a reward based on your performance.
Aphmau: Th-thank you for your assistance.
Ovjang: We have vaults full of coins for a diligent worker.
Amnaf: Report even the smallest details to the palace. 
Rishfee: May the winds of fortune guide you.
Naja Salaheem: If we can fulfill a direct request from the Empress, this company's prestige will go through the rrroof!
Naja Salaheem: Player name!
Naja Salaheem: This task is confidential. 
Don't leak a word of it to anyone!
Naja Salaheem: Okay. 
Let me give ya all the information we have on the ghost ship.
Naja Salaheem: Moving under the cover of all this beastman mess, the ghosts have even been seen on the outskirts of Al Zahbi...
Naja Salaheem: How do I know this?
Naja Salaheem: What has just reached the ears of the palace officials has been circulatin' in town for a good while now.
Naja Salaheem: Since the first sightin' of the ghost ship around the Arrapago Islands by some Qiqirn near on ten years ago, people have been spottin' that spook vessel all over the place.
Naja Salaheem: Everyone though it musta been the Ashu Talif, an Imperial passenger ship that had sunk in the area...
Naja Salaheem: But then a guy who had a rrrun-in with the ghost ship on the way back from Nashmau swore it was the Black Coffin.
Naja Salaheem: Seems this guy was from Ephramad stock, and had a picture carefully hidden in the rafters of his house...
Naja Salaheem: The picture was a rrrendering of the Ephramad rebellion's symbol--the majestic Black Coffin.
Naja Salaheem: Sounds like the stuff of fairy tales, but the fact rrremains that this Ephramad descendant was hauled off by the Immortals for questionin'.
Naja Salaheem: In any case, with the rrreward I'm expectin' from the Empress, this company'll be rollin' in cash for the next ten years.
Naja Salaheem: So, Player name! 
Go after that ghost ship and don't come back till you learn somethin' useful!
