Reaching for Cloud Nine

is a Quest in Final Fantasy XIV: A Realm Reborn.
==Journal==
* Sezul has marked you for a skilled artisan, and requests that you craft for him an airship hull component─a specialized item which the Ehcatl camp lacks the resources to build. Make your way to Fallgourd Float and obtain the necessary crafting materials from the Qiqirn junkmonger.
※Please note that the difficulty of this quest has been synced to your current level.
* After handing you the component materials, the junkmonger advises that you make use of the crafting facility found beside the Bobbing Cork. Head over to the workshop and hand the materials over to Hildeyerd.
* After entrusting the component materials to Hildeyerd, the supervisor begins explaining the purpose of the crafting facility. Her explanation, however, is interrupted by a young Lalafellin man, who insists on appraising the results of your apparently doomed endeavor. Use the materials returned to you by Hildeyerd to craft the interior hull component, and then show the item to the waiting Tataramu.
※In the event that the status Facility Access: Detailing wears off or the synthesis ends in failure, you may try again by speaking with Hildeyerd.
* You synthesize the hull interior component and show it to Tataramu. After recovering from his shock at the quality of your work, the young man demands to know the identity of your client. Upon realizing you were commissioned by a group of Ixal, however, Tataramu concludes that the beastmen mean to fashion a vessel of war, and rushes off to find the Ehcatl Nine's hidden camp. Return to Ehcatl and deliver the component to Sezul.
* No sooner have you placed the component into Sezul's hands than Tataramu bursts into the camp and accuses the chief of sullying the field of airship engineering. The Ehcatl Nine leader explains, however, that his purpose in breaking away from the Garuda-beholden Ixal was to begin construction on the Dezul Qualan─a hybrid vessel intended not to wage war, but to soar above the highest clouds. Quickly convinced by Sezul's obvious zeal and sincerity, Tataramu then begs for a position on the chief's ambitious project. Speak once more with Sezul, and decide what your own fate in this undertaking will be.
* You have agreed to assist Sezul in the construction of his unique airship. Lend your crafting skills to the efforts of the Ehcatl Nine, and join the chief and Tataramu in aiming for the heavens.
==Objectives==
* Obtain component materials from the Qiqirn junkmonger.
* Present component materials to Hildeyerd.
* Synthesize a hull interior component/Show the hull interior component to Tataramu.
* Deliver the hull interior component to Sezul Totoloc.
* Speak with Sezul Totoloc.

Sezul Totoloc 	Hm? A strange face you make, [Player Name]. Burning with questions, you are, yes?
Sezul Totoloc 	Make myself clear, I did not, eh? Only natural, your suspicion is. Many Ixal would simply kill featherless one, and leave corpse for vultures.
Sezul Totoloc 	But think like bird-brained Natalan zealots, clever Sezul and his crew do not! Endlessly wasteful, this war with forest people is! Waste of time! Waste of resources!
Sezul Totoloc 	Ehcatl Nine is group of thinkers─of crafters. This place, Ehcatl, is place for building dreams!
Sezul Totoloc 	To fly higher than any other is Ehcatl Nine's dream. But before we can fly, make wings, we must!
Sezul Totoloc 	Good at making things, you are, yes? Know when see one, Sezul does. Way of moving. Way of looking. Caw, caw, caw! Clothing had Sezul confused at first, though!
Sezul Totoloc 	Creating much better than destroying, yes? Both Ixal and featherless ones agree on that, they can!
Sezul Totoloc 	Have [Player Name] create something for Ehcatl Nine, Sezul would. Build many things, we can, but not everything is possible in remote camp like this!
Sezul Totoloc 	You know of place called “Fallgourd Float,” yes? Fine crafting facility, they have! Perfect for making airship hull interior components!
 	
Sezul Totoloc 	Sturdy metal frame is component Sezul needs. Support hull from inside and become vessel's spine, it will!
Sezul Totoloc 	Potent adhesive agent is component Sezul needs. Strengthen hull integrity and keep vessel from falling apart, it will!
Sezul Totoloc 	Leather-backed plywood is component Sezul needs. Make for strong and durable hull, it will!
Sezul Totoloc 	Placed order for raw materials with Qiqirn merchant in Fallgourd Float, Sezul has. [Player Name] need only speak to junkmonger. Spend own coin, you need not!
Sezul Totoloc 	Squawk! A surprise for you, Sezul has! Protect and support hands when crafting tricky airship components, these gloves will!
Sezul Totoloc 	Even clever needs help from time to time, eh? Come back soon, featherless one!
Sezul Totoloc 	Squaaawk! Featherless fool! How can [Player Name] make components without proper equipment!? Lose precious gloves again, and beat [Player Name] to within ilm of life with nail-spiked plank, Sezul will!
 	
Kikiroon01487 	Master merchant welcomes well-come customer! Birdman chief tell master merchant of chief makings!
Kikiroon01487 	You take things for making, and go to place for making things! You find making place at side of inn, not inside!
Kikiroon01487 	Master merchant thinks you have no time for thinking─birdman chief seems ready to burst at seams. Hildeyerd will give you helpful help!
 	
Hildeyerd 	Hello there, adventurer! Come now, I can hardly hear you! I said, “Hello there”!
Hildeyerd 	What's this? You wish to make use of our workshop? Well then, seeing as you're a first-timer, allow me to give you a brief explanation of what we seek to accomplish here.
Hildeyerd 	As I'm sure you are aware, Eorzea is populated with a plethora of artisans who create a range of wonderful wares. This workspace was created with just such a diversity of craftswomen/craftsmen in mind.
Hildeyerd 	No matter your profession, our facility is designed to allow simply anyone to bring in their materials and produce goods that demand an exquisite degree of precision and polish.
Hildeyerd 	Our small operation here at the Bobbing Cork is only temporary until we secure a more permanent residence, but I assure you that everything is fully functional! Now, what exciting project has brought you to me this fine day?
Hildeyerd 	What have we here... Ah! Such a strange coincidence that you should happen to arrive bearing the very same rare materials that─
Tataramu 	Hildeyerd! Have you any word on my delivery?
Tataramu 	Hm? And who might this lady/gentleman be? ...And why does s/he hold the component materials that I ordered!?
Tataramu 	This is outrageous! You cannot simply swoop in and snatch up the wares I reserved a moon in advance!
Hildeyerd 	Please, Master Tataramu─you misunderstand! This adventurer brought along these materials herself/himself.
Tataramu 	Just “brought them along,” did s/he!? Poppycock! What would a gil-grabbing mercenary need with airship hull component materials!?
Tataramu 	Only a master engineer with the highest level of skill would be capable of utilizing the potential of such specialized items─and I highly doubt that anyone besides myself would have a use for them!
Tataramu 	I shall be gracious, however, and allow that you are some manner of artisan. Pray tell: exactly what do you intend to craft with those materials?
Tataramu 	...I am, of course, ignoring the fact that your efforts will invariably result in a botched job and wasted resources!
Hildeyerd 	Master Tataramu! This is hardly gentlemanly conduct!
Tataramu 	Hmph! Shall I offer to view the finished product, then? Go ahead, madam/sir. Craft your wares, and I shall appraise the “quality” of your work─free of charge.
Hildeyerd 	Master Tataramu! I shall become cross with you if you continue in that tone! ...Here are your materials, miss/sir. I'm sure whatever you create will be absolutely splendid!
 	
Hildeyerd 	I'm sure you'll do just fine! Remember: I'll be right here if you need anything!
Tataramu 	Craft away, madam/sir. I'll be waiting to appraise the results of your “expertise.”
Hildeyerd 	Finished crafting, have you? Well, don't keep the client waiting─run along and deliver your handiwork! Now, I doubt that you'd be so clumsy as to misplace your precious creations, but on the off chance that you do, know that I still have the excess materials in my keeping.
 	
Tataramu 	All done, are we? Now, let's have a look at the travesty you've made out of─ Gods be good!
Tataramu 	I can scarce believe it! The craftsmanship is exemplary! And you say this component is to be used in the construction of an airship? I cannot even imagine what type of hull you mean to build!
Tataramu 	Tell me, adventurer: who commissioned this work from you? I must know!
Hildeyerd 	A what!? Why, that's incredible. ...Not to mention fascinating. Though I must wonder how one came to commission an adventurer for airship parts...
Tataramu 	Hm. A curious reluctance. What harm can come of revealing a client who builds airships? Unless...
Tataramu 	There was an odd rumor making the rounds amongst the engineers at the company. They say a group of Ixal had carved out a secret camp in the Black Shroud, and were conducting trials for some kind of secret weapon...
Tataramu 	I had thought it idle gossip at the time, but 'twould appear the tale held merit, after all! Your Ixali master seeks to craft an airborne vessel of war!
Tataramu 	I will not allow it! Transforming the wonder of air travel into a means for delivering death is blasphemy of the highest order!
Hildeyerd 	But, Master Tataramu! What do you mean to do!?
Tataramu 	Isn't it obvious!? I'm going to march right into that secret camp and give those blasted birdmen a good telling off! You'd best stay out of my way!
Hildeyerd 	But you cannot simply... <sigh> When it comes to airships, I'm afraid Master Tataramu's passion overpowers his capacity for common sense.
Hildeyerd 	I wonder if he even has any idea where he's going...
Hildeyerd 	Here, you'd best take your finished component and complete the delivery. Your appraiser appears to have forgotten it in his haste to rush off and chastise the Ixal.
 	
Hildeyerd 	Hm? Just who is Master Tataramu? I could tell you, but that wouldn't be very exciting now, would it? Perhaps you might ask him yourself.
 	
Hildeyerd 	He's not a bad person, you know. A trifle enthusiastic about airships, but ordinarily a most straightforward and reliable fellow. And considering the location of your client, I imagine you'll be meeting him again rather soon...
 	
Sezul Totoloc 	Squawk, squawk! Returned, you have! Able to craft component, you were?
Sezul Totoloc 	Made this, you did? Hm. Hm, hm... Yes! Serve us well, this will! Begin construction on hull, we can!
Tataramu 	Raaaaaargh!
Tataramu 	<pant> <pant> <huff> <huff>
I...<pant>...finally...<huff>...found you! I never realized...<pant>...just how big...<huff>...this forest was...
Sezul Totoloc 	...Who is small angry featherless one?
Tataramu 	N-Never mind who I am! 'Tis you who are on trial here! Are you not the Ixali master who seeks to build a death-dealing airship and bring war and destruction to Gridania!?
Tataramu 	Have you no respect for the virtuous field of engineering your uncouth plan will irretrievably sully!? Weapons on an airship!? Simply monstrous!
Sezul Totoloc 	Squawk! Mind your tongue, you shall! Making airship with weapons, Sezul is not! Been telling tall tales, someone has!
Tataramu 	Do not try to deny it! I have seen how the Ixal stole our technology to build those horrendous war balloons! Your kind know naught but killing and mayhem!
Sezul Totoloc 	Squawk! Blather too much, angry one does! Sees not enough! Look at design under own feet, you should!
Tataramu 	This schematic... It contains elements of both dirigible and airship... I've never seen the like!
Sezul Totoloc 	Hybrid vessel Dezul Qualan, it is! Fly very high, it shall! Ceiling altitude of five thousand yalms!
Tataramu 	Five thousand yalms!? That's impossible─an unattainable fantasy!
Tataramu 	Why, even Master Garlond's Enterprise cannot reach such heights! You speak of visiting the heavens themselves!
Sezul Totoloc 	Yes! The heavens! Rap on gods' front door, we shall! Knock, knock!
Sezul Totoloc 	Ayatlan... Floating continent of legends, it is! High, high above clouds. Place where Sezul's ancestors once lived!
Sezul Totoloc 	Return to Ixal's lost paradise, we shall! All-consuming goal of Sezul's people, it once was!
Sezul Totoloc 	But this dream...shared now by too few, it is. Rather worship mad goddess Garuda and squabble with featherless ones, Natalan Ixal would...
Sezul Totoloc 	Waste of life, Sezul says! Help Ehcatl Nine build balloon-airship hybrid and reach for distant sky, other Ixal should!
Tataramu 	What an incredible idea... You have such vision...such zeal!
Tataramu 	Sezul, I...I have misjudged you! You must let me work with you! I will see this dream of yours become reality!
Sezul Totoloc 	Squawk? Wish to join Sezul's crew, do you? Possess some skill at crafting, do you, yes?
Tataramu 	Y-Yes! I have studied airship design most extensively! And though my practical experience is admittedly limited, I vow that there are none who match my passion for the craft!
Sezul Totoloc 	Important, passion is. But knowledge, too, you must have. Hmmm. Work you as hard as others, Sezul will. Be spared for your size, you will not!
Tataramu 	Thank you, sir, you won't regret this! Tataramu, at your service!
 	
Hildeyerd 	What's this? You've misplaced your commission? Oh dear, well you shall simply have to make use of our facilities again! Misfortune is no excuse for failing a delivery!
Ixaldailyr401498	Lost precious crafting gloves, no-feathers has!? No respect for Ixal wares, you have!
Ixaldailyr401498	One more pair, you will be given! Lose them again, and feel pain of ten thousand deaths, you shall!
Sezul Totoloc 	And what of [Player Name]? Impressed with work, Sezul is!
Sezul Totoloc 	Enjoy crafting with Sezul's gloves, did you? Like second skin, yes? Protect hands, but allow artisan to make delicate and difficult movements, they do!
Sezul Totoloc 	Agree to help Ehcatl Nine build Dezul Qualan, and let [Player Name] keep gloves, Sezul will.
Sezul Totoloc 	What say you, featherless one? Sprout wings and fly with us, yes?
 	
Sezul Totoloc 	Squawk! Feathers of the spirit, we share!
Sezul Totoloc 	Hard to imagine to look at us now, it is... But an age when Ixal flew on power of their own wings, there once was!
Sezul Totoloc 	Sad, then, that wrath of elementals, we incurred. Hmmm. Banished from forest, and stripped of gift of flight, we were!
Sezul Totoloc 	With younglings hatched outside of forest, something wrong there was. Stunted, their feathers were. But lose desire to soar, Ixal never did!
Sezul Totoloc 	In place of lost wings, great balloons Sezul's forefathers made. Such ingenuity! Seek to continue their legacy, Ehcatl Nine does!
Sezul Totoloc 	But forgotten joy of crafting own wings, Natalan Ixal have. Grovel instead to goddess, they do. Grovel and beg.
Sezul Totoloc 	Fools! Grant them new wings, Garuda never will! Seek only to increase her might, the goddess does! Always more sacrifices! Always more crystals!
Sezul Totoloc 	Nothing more than slaves, Natalan Ixal are! But not Ehcatl Nine, no!
Sezul Totoloc 	Soar once again, we shall. Within Dezul Qualan, our salvation─our waking dream─lies!
Sezul Totoloc 	Work hard, and see history written, [Player Name] shall!
Sezul Totoloc 	Thought to share Ehcatl Nine's dream, Sezul did. Hmmm. But for everyone, the distant skies are not, eh?
Sezul Totoloc 	Force you against your will, Sezul will not. Farewell, [Player Name]! Rather than destroy, remember to build, you must!
 	
Tataramu 	Adventurer... [Player Name], is it? I apologize for my earlier outburst─I spoke out of turn. I hope that you can forgive me, and that you choose to lend your formidable skills to this wonderful endeavor!
 	
Popmessage 	You now have access to the crafting facility.
