Alphinaud 	It will take more than a trifle such as this to deter us.
Alphinaud 	Compared to what Garlemald's people have suffered in recent days, these collars are a minor inconvenience.
 	
Alisaie 	I have to remind myself not to touch it, even if it starts to itch. I'd rather not set if off by accident...
Alisaie 	...Anyway, enough about that. Let's learn what we can from the refugees.
 	
Jullus 	As per Lord Quintus's instructions, I am to supervise you during your time here in Tertium.
Jullus 	Before you ask, no I don't have a key or any other means to remove your collars. Nor would I tell you if I did. And if you try anything, you'll soon wish you hadn't.
Jullus 	So, do you truly intend to speak with the others, or was that merely a ruse?
Alphinaud 	We're in no hurry to disobey Lord Quintus, if that's what you mean. Or perhaps you doubt the wisdom of his decision?
Jullus 	...Do as you will. But remember, I'll be watching.
Jullus 	If I catch wind of you doing anything untoward─trying to trick our people into turning their coats and the like─those shock collars will be the least of your worries. Understood?
Alisaie 	Though we're somewhat compromised, to put it lightly, let's not waste this opportunity. I suggest splitting up and learning what we can of their situation. And above all else, don't use magicks of any sort.
Jullus 	You, on the other hand, may go wheresoever you wish. Even outside the camp. I know full well I couldn't stop you if I tried.
Jullus 	But do not forget, if you do anything to endanger us or our interests, Alphinaud and Alisaie will pay the price.
 	
Alphinaud 	Is there aught we may do to ease your woes?
 	
Alisaie 	So cold...and probably hasn't had a proper meal in days.
Alisaie 	If only we'd brought some food with us. But perhaps I could use a little magic to─ No, I mustn't. Gods, this is so frustrating...
 	
Jullus 	You heard what I said. Don't make me repeat myself.
 	
Sabinianus 	S-So...c-c-cold...
 	
Sabinianus 	...
 	
Caeso 	You came with Jullus, didn't you? Well, whatever business brought you here, you'd best keep your hands off that aetheryte. It's deactivated, but I'd rather you didn't mess about with it.
Caeso 	There are others throughout the city. Built by Garleans─for Garleans. Could teleport all over in the blink of an eye, provided there was a terminal nearby.
Caeso 	These days, however, we use the aetheryte's power to keep this place lit, though that comes at the cost of its normal function.
 	
Caeso 	My expertise in maintaining magitek weaponry isn't exactly applicable to the machina you'll find here, but I'll see if I can get this aetheryte working again. Anything to keep busy...
 	
Marcellinus 	I know who you are. The so-called champion of Eorzea. Come to gloat, have you!?
Marcellinus 	I'll wipe that smirk off your face... By the blood of our fallen compatriots, I swear I'll─ Ugh!
Marcellinus 	Damn... Tore the sutures...
Marcellinus 	Of all the times... The worst of the lot within striking distance and I can't even muster the strength...
Marcellinus 	If it weren't for the IIIrd bleeding us, we'd be the end of you...
Marcellinus 	Vergilia's treachery nearly cost Lord Quintus his life, but we made our escape. Took shelter in a mansion─tended to the wounded as we prepared to strike back─and then...
Marcellinus 	Night fell and we gathered around the radio...then the roar, the terrible roar. The capital was in chaos, but we were spared...
Marcellinus 	...If you can call this a mercy. Mind intact, but body broken. A soldier in name alone.
Marcellinus 	I'd cut you down where you stand if I could. Murderer...
 	
Marcellinus 	How it must pain Lord Quintus to see our proud legion reduced to this. My suffering, my regrets─they are nothing compared to his.
 	
Octavia 	It's you! [Player Name]!
Octavia 	I-I served under Lord Gaius in the XIVth Legion. I was there on the night the Praetorium fell...
Octavia 	You and your adventurers... You killed them. My comrades, my friends... Swept them aside in their dozens, as though they were nothing to you...
Octavia 	...And maybe I am too. Just another faceless enemy to be cut down. But it won't be long until our countrymen return─until you get what you deserve. Mark my words!
 	
Octavia 	I was ready to abandon all hope...until I saw you. You... Soon, very soon, we'll make you pay for every life you've taken!
 	
Alphinaud 	Did you learn anything of note?
Alphinaud 	Then your findings are consistent with my own. Their plight is desperate indeed.
Alphinaud 	The sick and injured are at greatest risk. Without warmth and proper nutrition, I fear they will soon perish.
Alphinaud 	I realize there is precious little we can do for them at present, but I cannot bear to see them suffer.
Alphinaud 	Please, will you help me tend to them?
 	
Alphinaud 	There are several people in the next carriage I have yet to speak with. Could you start there?
 	
Flavius 	Who's there? My eyes, they... I can't see all that well...
Flavius 	Aaah... Thank you. The numbness has subsided a little.
Flavius 	But I know...I won't last much longer. You should look to the others who can still fight. Give them my ration...
Flavius 	If me going hungry means someone else lives to see another day, so be it. Least I can still serve in that way...
 	
Flavius 	Would...would you stay with me a little longer...? Hold my hand... Yours are so much warmer...
 	
Alphinaud 	So those you met fare no better? I was afraid you would say that.
Alphinaud 	I know we were warned against meddling in their affairs, but we can't leave them like this. Perhaps we might gain permission to have the contingent deliver supplies?
Alphinaud 	Quintus may have made his feelings on the matter quite clear, but even he must recognize they are not in a position to refuse help...
Alphinaud 	Maybe Jullus could persuade him? Though we'd need to persuade Jullus first...
 	
Alphinaud 	Just a little more...
 	
Jullus 	Well? Seen enough?
Alphinaud 	Jullus, the people here have barely enough food and fuel to survive. Have you and the other soldiers been able to procure any more supplies?
Jullus 	We've been scavenging provisions from the nearby houses, as most families keep─kept, rather─some stored away in the event they were snowed in.
Jullus 	Still, going out and getting it is dangerous work, and we've a lot of mouths to feed.
Jullus 	Fuel is the greater concern, though. We had some ceruleum set aside...until it was stolen.
Jullus 	We haven't identified the culprit. Could've been other refugees, or one of the afflicted for all we know.
Jullus 	Either way, we're down to the last dregs. Without the heating they need, those in poor health are only going to get worse instead of better...
Alisaie 	If it's ceruleum you need, our contingent has secured a ready supply. We can have some sent over!
Jullus 	We will not accept your charity.
Jullus 	If we can hold on a little longer, the situation is sure to change. Aye─everything will change...
 	
Jullus 	Heard something of it, have you? Well. From what I've seen, there's little you could do to interfere, so there's no harm in telling you.
Jullus 	One of our scouts spotted a hooded man issuing instructions to the afflicted─or in the bastard's words, “loyal servants of the Telophoroi.”
Jullus 	Then, he made his way inside the imperial palace─or what stands in its place.
Jullus 	We'd identified the seat of the enemy's power, we realized. Lord Quintus dispatched a messenger to the Xth Legion saying as much, and instructing them to join forces with the provincial legions. To prepare for a combined assault on the Telophoroi.
Jullus 	Once our allies arrive, your contingent will be sent running for the hills. Then, we shall reclaim the capital by our own hand!
Alphinaud 	And how do you intend to survive in the meantime? At this rate, many of your countrymen will perish long before reinforcements reach Garlemald.
Alphinaud 	They need help now. Say the word, and we will bring you ceruleum.
Jullus 	...I will speak with Lord Quintus.
Alisaie 	So? Did he agree to it?
Jullus 	No. He will not place Garlemald in the debt of her enemies.
Jullus 	I have, however, been ordered to search for ceruleum outside. As you are under my watch, you will come with me.
Alphinaud 	Very well. After all, many hands make light work.
Jullus 	<sigh> You lot are more trouble than you're worth.
Jullus 	Once we are outside, you will follow my instructions to the letter. We depart shortly.
