Gate of Memoirs/Galea's Log

The contents of the retrieved Battle Log leaves you with a ton of questions… Noel will probably ask you to find more.

*You return, drenched in sweat and more than a little burnt—and not just by the sun.
 	
*Elise: ! I'll get you some towels real quick!
 	
*Nodding in thanks, you sit down heavily on a spare chair and go over the assignment...
*The Revenants were unnaturally fierce, the desert heat no doubt amplifying the intensity of their blaze.
*You didn't expect them to collapse in a shower of flaming chunks after falling in battle,
*but what was even more eerie was the groan of a hundred different human voices issuing from cavernous, gaping mouths.
*And furthermore—
 	
*Giselle: Hello again, ! Back already?
 	
*You startle, because you remember seeing Giselle while out on your assignment.
*She couldn't possibly have teleported there and back...could she?
 	
*Giselle: My, you look adorably confused! Don't worry, you'll get used to it.
 	
*Giselle: I'll do my best to stay out of your hair, so don't pay any mind to lil' old me, okay?
 	
*Giselle: Now, back to the matter. How did everything go?
 	
*Out of one Revenant's roiling innards, you were able to retrieve a solid, metallic object wedged deep in its torso.
 	
*Giselle looks pleased at the acquisition, and beckons Noel over.
 	
*Noel: Hmm...
*Noel: It appears to be much more resilient than expected. I mean, it IS in one piece.
 	
*Noel: That's one more distinguishing factor for the Battle Logs we're after.
 	
*Giselle: Great work, ! I can't imagine it was easy for you at all.
*Giselle: We'll like to run some tests on this right away, so expect results to be forthcoming!
 	
*Elise: In the meantime, you should get yourself checked up at the medical bay.
*Elise hands you several towels and a large mug of water.
 	
*Elise: I'll handle your reports for now, so just focus on getting some rest, okay?
 	
*Giselle: Noel and I will be sure to share all the juicy details we can squeeze out of this little wonder.
 	
*Giselle: Nighty-night, darling!
 	
*Over the next few days, while you tend to your wounds,
*you listen to Giselle and Noel analyze the mysteriously unscathed Battle Log.
 	
*Noel: Their technology is more sophisticated than I had expected. This one didn't have any encryption, though...
*Noel: Which might be because the amount of data stored within indicates it saw very little actual usage.
*Noel: Still, whatever we could pull has given us a clue to the owner—someone belonging to the Khree family faction.
 	
*Giselle: And! We can listen to this person right now!
*Giselle: So much better than just pulling strings and strings of numbers out of this little metal pancake.
 	
*Noel: Data is beautiful, you know.
 	
*Giselle: More so when you can actually make sense of it! Fire it up!

**bzzt* *crackle* *click*
*Female Voice: "Oi. OI! Is this thing on?!"
*Female Voice: "Stupid useless thi—"
*The slightly deep, growling female voice grunts, and a rustling sound accompanies what seems to the device being shaken.
*Female Voice: "Tch."
*Female Voice: "Alright. Uh. It's...somewhere around noon."
*Female Voice: "Met this guy. One of the Vharag. Big guy, tall. Dark."
*Female Voice: "Finally, someone who didn't die in the first ten minutes of sparring."
*Female Voice: "Said his name was Keres. Weird guy. Was bleeding from his head but still asked my name."
*Female Voice: "Hahaha! What a joke. I told him anyway. Since the voices didn't tell me not to."
*Female Voice: "Well. Whatever. There's at least one person out there who can stick around me long enough."
*Female Voice: "... ..."

*Noel: Oh. Looks like it's moving on to the next entry-
 	
*Noel: The jarring sounds of slaughter and screaming start blasting through the device.
*Noel: Noel jumps out of his skin and scrambles to find some sort of volume button, but there is none.
 	
*Noel: Despite the cacophony, Giselle is listening intently.

*Female Voice: "Khhhahaha! Keep 'em coming!"
*The same female voice, now in a frenzied tone...but it doesn't seem like this recording was intentional.
*Female Voice: "Keres! Best. Party. EVER!"
*A baritone male voice booms over the noise.
*Keres: "Glad you could make it, Galea."
*Keres: "We gotta find that Greherd madman if we're gonna put this operation down."
*Keres: "I know it's a million-to-one plan—"
*Galea: "I NEVER care about the odds!"
*Galea: "S'long as I can dice that freak into itty bitty pieces! KHHAHAHA!"
*Galea: "That'll teach him to SHUT UP ABOUT THE VARDKET FOR ONCE—"
**bzzt* *CRASH*
*The distant sounds of ordnance crash in the background, followed by a loud thump.
*The two voices fade into the noise, as if the device had been dropped somewhere.
*Galea: "I'll send that idiot where the Vardket went!"
*Galea: "TO OBLIVION!"
**bzzztttt...*

*Giselle: That was...interesting.
*Giselle: At least we've got some names to put to faces! Er, voices.
 	
*Giselle: Whoever or whatever the Vardket are...I think we can assume they were in Orebus at one point.
*Giselle: Someone from what might be the Greherd faction is obsessed with them, which prompts this Keres guy to move against them.
*Giselle: And our rambunctious owner of this device, Galea, was helping him out.
 	
*Noel: Yeah, that sounds about right.
*Noel: Hopefully we can find more of these logs to piece together the full picture.
*Noel: Having a sample size of one is not particularly convincing.
 	
*Giselle: For once, I agree with you.
 	
*Noel: That's just good practice in science!
 	
*As you leave the two to bicker, Elise comes into the room with a small file in hand.
 	
*Elise: ! Feeling better?
*Elise: You did a great job clearing out those Revenants! The scouts have one less terror to deal with.
*Elise: I've filed the paperwork for you, so don't worry about it.
*Elise: I've filed the paperwork for you, so don't worry about it.
*Elise: Once another request comes in, come find me again, okay?
 	
*Elise: You should go take a break now. They won't be done anytime soon.
 	
*Nodding your thanks to Elise and giving a half-hearted wave to Giselle and Noel, you leave the Inquiry.
*The secrets of Orebus have only just begun unraveling...
