Alphinaud 	Never have I felt such emptiness. It's as if a part of me is gone...
 	
Alisaie 	...I'm fine, [Player Name].
Alisaie 	Like I said, our quest doesn't end here.
 	
Grahatia 	Are you all ready to continue on?
Grahatia 	Then let us make for where that light shone. Y'shtola and Urianger have opened the way for us.
 	
Alisaie 	Some manner of Ea device. If our friends awakened it, then it should be safe to use.
 	
Grahatia 	Judging by the direction, this should be the place.
 	
Alphinaud 	Yes, I can feel it! The aether emanating from the arcane pattern!
Alphinaud 	This is a portal, and no mistake. Let us see where it leads.
 	
Alphinaud 	What manner of place awaits us, I wonder...
 	
Balloon 	<whirr> Intruder alert.
Balloon 	Eliminate. Eliminate.
 	
Alphinaud 	Amazing... Yet another civilization...
Alisaie 	Attacked as soon as you arrived!? Not the most welcoming of places, is it...
Grahatia 	We must try to find denizens who are amenable to conversation.
Alphinaud 	We should also get the lay of the land, see how far we can go.
Alisaie 	I'll help Alphinaud with that. In the meantime, you and G'raha can search for friendlier folk.
Grahatia 	Apart from hostile beings, take care with your footing. I mislike the look of this terrain.
Alisaie 	Not knowing what the locals are like, you'd best take care yourselves. We'll find you once we've finished exploring.
 	
Grahatia 	I expect the twins will seek the outermost bounds of the isle, so I propose we search the central area.
Grahatia 	There are machines patrolling here and there. Sentinels, in all likelihood.
Grahatia 	Like those you encountered, they will most certainly attack any who venture too close.
Grahatia 	So let us avoid them, and look for others that appear more approachable.
 	
Popmessage 	You are under attack!
 	
Balloon 	<blip> <bloop>
Balloon 	Hello, hello. Hello, hello.
 	
Balloon 	Shutting down... Bzzzt...
Balloon 	Hell...o... Hell...o.
 	
M032 	Bzzzt... Additional entity detected.
 	
Grahatia 	Look, [Player Name]. The machines here do not appear hostile. Let's see if we can communicate with them...
Grahatia 	Begging your pardon, but we are searching for the denizens of this star.
M032 	Bzzzt... Unknown life-forms detected. Assigning generic label: interplanetary travelers.
M032 	Greetings and welcome to the planet. <blip> <bloooooop>
Grahatia 	The planet...what? Could you please repeat that?
M032 	It appears your hearing organ is unable to process the name in our tongue. It may be translated into yours as “Alphatron.”
M032 	Our people, meanwhile, are called the Omicrons, and you stand within one of our outposts.
Grahatia 	The Omicrons, you say... And what is it that you do here?
M032 	We are preparing for war.
M032 	As we presently do not have a designated target, you have nothing to fear.
M032 	Should your star become designated, however, you will be taken into custody and or terminated.
Grahatia 	Not a little frightening, these Omicrons, but at least they seem to be forthright...
Grahatia 	I will see what else I can learn from this fellow, if you could try speaking with the others?
 	
Grahatia 	Go on and try speaking with the other units here. With our combined findings, perhaps we can piece together the state of affairs for the Omicrons.
 	
M032 	The rules of engagement forbid the harming of neutral travelers. As long as you abide by our laws, you need not fear for your lives.
 	
N0055 	<blip> <bloop> Autonomous weapon deployment: complete. Vanguard armament upgrade: complete. Munition levels: satisfactory.
N0055 	Combat readiness assessment: nominal. Awaiting instructions from Sir.
N0055 	Maintaining state of combat readiness.
 	
N0055 	Awaiting instructions from Sir. Please specify target... Please specify target...
 	
M097 	Bzzzt... Greetings, traveler. When venturing outside the outpost, beware malfunctioning units.
M097 	They do not heed Sir's commands, and indiscriminately attack all non-Omicrons.
M097 	For the avoidance of confusion, be advised that “Sir” is the alias of Stigma-1. Sir issues instructions to our forces as the foremost of the six strategic matrices that bear the designation Stigma.
 	
M097 	For the further avoidance of confusion, be advised that Sir is composed of multiple distinct-but-interconnected units, each of which performs a specific function.
 	
N0253 	Bzzzt... Measuring combat capability...
Result: negligible. Subject falls outside targeting parameters.
N0253 	Greetings, traveler. We are the Omicrons, and our objective is self-enhancement.
N0253 	In order to achieve this, we venture forth in conquest to acquire combat data and resources.
N0253 	Most recently, we succeeded in subjugating the home world of the beings whose strength was said to be without parallel: the dragons.
N0253 	Yet though the endeavor yielded a wealth of combat data, the star was rendered barren and unable to yield resources. A subsequent costing determined that the losses incurred exceeded the gains.
N0253 	Since conquering the dragons, no new instructions have come from Sir, but we stand ready for deployment.
 	
Grahatia 	You learned a few things? So did I. Ere we share our findings, however, I believe it best to step outside the outpost. Come with me.
Alisaie 	Ah, there you are!
Alphinaud 	We've finished surveying the area. This will come as no surprise, but there was no way forward.
Alisaie 	There were portals like the one we used to get here, but those that worked only sent us to isolated isles.
Grahatia 	Then as before, we must locate the embodiment of the emotion that bars the way.
Alisaie 	What of yourselves? Did you find anyone to speak with?
Alphinaud 	So the Omicrons seek to advance themselves through conquest...
Alphinaud 	Following their victory over the dragons, they stand ready for the next campaign, but their leader has yet to issue new commands. And so they wait.
Grahatia 	In such a place, who could it be that fits Urianger's description? A soul whose yearning for oblivion surpasses all others...
Alisaie 	Urianger said this?
Grahatia 	During our investigation, before we joined you in Elegeia.
Alisaie 	So that's the way of it... Why couldn't he just say it to all of us?
Alphinaud 	Given what we know of this place, it's certainly a curious state of affairs.
Alphinaud 	While the dragons and the Ea longed for death, the Omicrons long for conflict. As much as that may lead to destruction, it must be considered a distinct desire.
Grahatia 	In order to find the source of the dominant emotion, I believe we should seek out their leader. This “Sir.”
Grahatia 	According to M-032─the first Omicron with whom we spoke─there is a console by which we might communicate with it.
Grahatia 	M-032 also added that it would be a “pointless exercise,” but that in itself, I believe, is worth investigating. What say you?
Quest complete.	Quest complete.
