Baishaen 	Blade [Player Name]. We have urgent tidings from the field.
Baishaen 	Our spies dispatched to the enemy encampment have at last uncovered the reason for the IVth Legion relocating to Zadnor.
Baishaen 	This plateau is home to a number of Allagan ruins, which are what drew Menenius here.
Cid 	This isn't the first time the Empire has shown an interest in such relics...
Baishaen 	Ah, I am glad you could join us. May I ask to what you are referring?
Cid 	This is all reminiscent to the XIVth Legion's excavation of the Allagan ruins in Ala Mhigo. It was there that they discovered the Ultima Weapon...
Baishaen 	By the gods... The similarities are striking.
Marshak 	Our scouts report that the imperials have unearthed a vast relic. They describe it as “monstrous to behold.”
Cid 	So we do have another Allagan abomination to contend with. Wonderful...
Marshak 	Its excavation was completed some time ago, but they have yet to finish loading it onto the Dalriada.
Cid 	Perhaps they have something else in mind. It's more likely Menenius is testing it first. Or maybe...he's planning to test it on us.
Marshak 	Knowing the imperials, I daresay you are right. All the more reason we must break through the enemy lines and bring their schemes to an end.
Baishaen 	Cid, can we assume your unexpected return means you have found a way to combat the Dalriada?
Cid 	Yes, I believe so.
Cid 	After analyzing the data Mikoto provided on the crystal focus, we should be able to put its energies to good use. Hopefully with explosive results.
Mikoto 	You...wish to make a bomb of the crystal focus?
Lilja 	Not exactly. After reading over your analysis of its unique aetherial signature, we thought it warranted an investigation of practical applications.
Lilja 	We found that with a little help from us, the focus is able to attune to the wavelength of ceruleum and cause it to destabilize.
Mikoto 	Ceruleum has ever been known to be a volatile substance. If it can be agitated by energy emitted from the crystal focus, then...
Cid 	Precisely. We can ignite the very lifeblood of the warship, destroying it from within!
Cid 	That's our theory, at any rate. Unfortunately, the crystal focus doesn't possess the energy we require for that level of destabilization.
Lilja 	Don't worry, though. The chief's already thought of a solution, and it's right here in Zadnor.
Cid 	Luckily for us, the aether that permeated the land at the time of the Bozja incident is at our disposal.
Cid 	If we can use that residual energy to momentarily overcharge the crystal focus, it should release a pulse potent enough to detonate the ceruleum.
Cid 	Even if we can't destroy the warship, the engines would at least be severely damaged.
Mikoto 	Should your plan succeed, it would cease to be a threat, if only for a short while.
Cid 	Hopefully, this will give us the opening we need. The aetherwave amplifier I designed for the task should have arrived in Doma by now, but we still have to find a way of transporting it and the crystal focus behind enemy lines.
Bwagi 	You'll not find an airship faster than Ba'Gamnan's pride and joy, the Ia'sar. Rinok can have it here in no time at all.
Cid 	Perfect. Once it arrives, I'll see to shielding its engine against the crystal focus.
Baishaen 	For our part, we will launch a diversionary assault on a nearby camp to draw their attention away from the Ia'sar. If, by some chance, we are able to advance on the Dalriada's position, all the better.
Cid 	I like the way you think, Bajsaljen.
Cid 	I've a job for you as well, [Player Name]. We're going to need to place another D.A.M. near the aether current closest to the Dalriada.
Cid 	I've made a few modifications to allow for manual redirection of the aether it collects. When the Ia'sar passes overhead, I want you to channel it directly to us.
Mikoto 	So you mean to fly into enemy territory and release this burst of energy from the sky? But any number of things could go wrong, not to mention how dangerous it is!
Cid 	Which is why I intend to pilot the Ia'sar myself. I need to be on board to trigger the pulse, and lest you forget, I don't just build airships, I pilot them, too.
Baishaen 	I am sorry, Cid, but I cannot allow it. If anything should happen to you...
Cid 	I have to, Bajsaljen. For you, and for the people of Bozja. To make amends for what happened all those years ago.
Bwagi 	I should warn you, Ia'sar means “tornado” in the Dalmascan tongue, and like its namesake, our ship is wild and unforgiving. Luckily for you, Rinok is one of a select few ever to have mastered her. She will take the helm.
Mikoto 	...I would accompany you as well.
Cid 	There's no need to put yourself in harm's way, Mikoto. Your place is here, helping the others.
Mikoto 	Well, the truth is, I... I had another vision. Of the two of us aboard the Ia'sar.
Mikoto 	We were successful in overcharging the crystal focus and, as you predicted, it rendered the imperials' warship inoperable. [Player Name] too bore witness to this vision.
Cid 	Is that so?
Cid 	In that case, you'll be coming with us.
Baishaen 	If Mikoto has foreseen it, our victory is assured... I will have our soldiers make ready at once!
Cid 	Mikoto, would you mind accompanying me to Doma? The aetherwave amplifier still needs a little fine-tuning, and I could do with a touch of your scholarly knowledge.
 	
Lilja 	There you are! I've tried locating a current close to the imperials' warship, but there's nothing in range of the spectrometer. If we're to have any chance of finding one, I'm going to need you to place a sensor out there.
Lilja 	Oh, and so you know, we've asked Bwagi to operate the D.A.M. once it's in place. With the fighting on the southern front dying down, he thought his time would be better spent helping us here.
Lilja 	I've marked an ideal spot on your map. When the sensor is set, contact me via linkpearl and I'll fire up the spectrometer.
 	
Lilja 	Soldiers, eh? By the sounds of it, they didn't put up much of a fight. Well, whenever you're ready, I'm standing by.
Lilja 	Signal detected. Everything seems to be working as it should. You're clear to head back, [Player Name].
 	
Lilja 	Thanks again for your help. It shouldn't be long before the analysis is complete.
Lilja 	While we wait for the results, I have to ask...
Lilja 	That vision you and Mikoto saw. She's hiding something, isn't she?
Lilja 	I know Mikoto would never lie to us, but I can't help but think she's not telling us the whole truth.
Bwagi 	Mikoto is not the only one withholding information. Whatever you are hiding, I suggest you spit it out.
Bwagi 	Surely we should consult Bajsaljen and the others, no? There must be something we can do to prevent Mikoto from falling.
Lilja 	Mikoto said her visions of the future aren't something that might happen, but will happen. One way or another, she's going to fall.
Lilja 	And don't forget─we were all there in her vision, preoccupied with one thing or another. <sigh> It's hopeless...
Bwagi 	Nonsense! Our fates are only decided when we let others decide them for us. Cheer up, lass. We will find a way to save her.
Lilja 	Right... <sniffle> Of course. There's still hope.
 	
Queen Gunnhildr	You forget yourself... You forget the duty of Gunnhildr.
There can be no Bozja without her children.
 	
Lilja 	I don't know what I'd do if something were to happen to any of you.
Lilja 	So you can be damn sure I'll do my part to keep everyone safe. I promise!
Quest complete.	Quest complete.
