Jullus 	We will make no attempt to resist.
 	
Lucia 	Before we proceed, tell me what you know of the Ist Legion and the disposition of their forces.
Lucia 	They were preparing for war while the refugees in their care were left to go hungry? A reckless, shortsighted plan that risks the welfare of the people they are sworn to protect.
Lucia 	Nevertheless, we cannot compel them to accept our aid. If we were to arrive in force with the intent to do so, we would only incite panic...but perhaps they can be persuaded to follow one of their own.
Lucia 	Go with Jullus back to the station and have him lead the refugees here. Some may be unwilling or unable to leave, but for the time being, I'll take what I can get.
Lucia 	Alphinaud, Alisaie, and the scouts sent to extricate them should already be at the station. I will also have our other comrades in the area lend their support should it be needed.
Jullus 	...Understood.
 	
Lucia 	I will have food and bedding prepared for the refugees. Getting them here safely, however, is my immediate concern...
 	
Urianger 	'Tis a comfort to see thee none the worse for thy recent ordeals.
 	
Grahatia 	Oh, I did not expect you to arrive so soon. There's been a...development. Perhaps you had best see for yourself.
 	
Colleaguesoldier	What are you doing back here? Where are Jullus and the others!?
 	
Alisaie 	[Player Name]...and Jullus.
Alisaie 	We arrived just before you did...and too late.
Jullus 	Too late for what? What's happened?
Colleaguesoldier	It's Lord Quintus... He took his own life.
Colleaguesoldier	After the news about the Xth, he relieved us of our duties. Then, when he was alone, he...
Jullus 	No... No, he wouldn't...
Urianger 	Thancred and the others─assisted by the soldiers─have seen to the remains.
Urianger 	In due course shall the legatus be afforded a proper burial.
Colleaguesoldier	He released us from our duty...
Colleaguesoldier	He wanted us to be free. Free to choose our own fate.
Jullus 	Without him to guide us, we're... I...
Grahatia 	I have just this moment spoken with Lucia.
Grahatia 	We are ready to commence the transfer of the refugees here to Camp Broken Glass, should they be willing to accept our aid.
Colleaguesoldier	Some...would rather die...
Colleaguesoldier	...But most of us just want to live. Songs and standards be damned─we just want to live.
Alisaie 	We'll need to speak with the refugees. They'll have to decide for themselves if they wish to come with us.
Alisaie 	If any would prefer to stay, we can have supplies brought over for them. It'll be a hard journey for the others, but we'll see they reach our camp safely.
Jullus 	I...I...
 	
Colleaguesoldier	After what happened to his family, the Ist was all Jullus had left. Now even that's been taken away from him...
Colleaguesoldier	He's not alone in that, either. There's a comfort in having someone to follow. Someone to lead...
 	
Alphinaud 	This is where it happened...
 	
Thancred 	...Best not to dwell on it. Not when there's work to be done.
 	
Sabinianus 	It was only ever a dream, wasn't it. To think we could reclaim it. Rebuild it all ourselves...
Sabinianus 	Before this all began...I sent my wife and daughter away to the provinces...
Sabinianus 	If there's a chance I might see them again, I'll take it. So take me. Take me with you...please.
 	
Sabinianus 	I can walk, I think. Just give me a few more moments...
 	
Caeso 	Well...got the aetheryte sorted in the end. All it took was a few adjustments, and now it works as well as it ever did...
Caeso 	From what I can tell, the one in Laterum is also functioning as normal. That's where you lot are staying, isn't it?
Caeso 	Now that most of us are packing up and leaving this place, I reckon there'll be more use for me and my skills over at your camp...
 	
Caeso 	Since the aetheryte's functioning again, why not give it a try? Be a waste if no one did...
 	
Flavius 	Ah...it's you. The one who treated me with such kindness...
Flavius 	I heard from the others that you're not from around here... Heh...I thought you were one of us. Not that it makes much difference now.
Flavius 	Purebloods, migrants, savages... After a while the words start to lose meaning...until all you're left with is anger and fear and hate and I'm...I'm too tired...
Flavius 	If you and yours have come to offer aid, I'd be glad to accept.
 	
Flavius 	I don't believe I asked you your name...
Flavius 	[Player Name]... Thank you. I will remember it... Always.
 	
Alphinaud 	We have much to discuss.
Alphinaud 	Our rescue, the attack on Camp Broken Glass...
Alphinaud 	...What we'd hoped to talk about with Quintus...
Alphinaud 	But all of that can wait. More urgent matters demand our attention.
Alphinaud 	Are any of the refugees willing to come to our camp?
Alphinaud 	Thank the Twelve. Thank the Twelve...
Thancred 	You and I should go first and secure the route back to Camp Broken Glass.
Thancred 	With all the creatures and tempered skulking about, I expect we'll have our hands full.
Thancred 	This should come in handy. Conqueror's Chain, courtesy of our Lominsan friends. I'd save it for the tempered, though.
Thancred 	I'll mark a few points that need surveying on your map. Once you've taken care of the riffraff, we'll meet back at our camp.
 	
Alphinaud 	I will stay with the refugees and do what I can to protect them.
Alphinaud 	While I have no doubt that you and Thancred will do a fine job clearing a path, we must be ever vigilant for threats that may have slipped the net.
 	
Popmessage 	A tempered soldier bars the way! Subdue him first, then use the Conqueror's Chain.
 	
Thancred 	Ah, there you are.
Thancred 	As expected, I ran into a few beasts who went down without much of a fight. The tempered proved somewhat troublesome, but those chains should keep them under control until our allies take them into custody.
Thancred 	With that taken care of, I'm to gather a few supplies and then return to the station.
Thancred 	While I see to that, would you mind apprising Lucia of our progress?
Thancred 	As it happens, I have some rather pertinent information from our recent scouting forays, but I'll save that for later. First things first, and all that.
 	
Yshtola 	Welcome back. I hope they haven't been working you too hard...
 	
Lucia 	Ah, [Player Name]. I was informed of Quintus's suicide... It must have come as a great shock to his men.
Lucia 	What of the refugees? I'm told some were receptive to our proposal, but I would hear your firsthand account.
Lucia 	That so many did not hesitate to accept proves how desperate their situation has become. We'll do our best to make them feel welcome.
Lucia 	The troops who participated in the ambush are no exception. They will be afforded the same treatment as any other refugees, perfidy notwithstanding. After all, even if I wanted to make an example of them, there's no one left to learn from it.
Lucia 	We will tell our allies that these soldiers were acting under the direct orders of their legatus, and that following his suicide, they offered a full and unconditional surrender.
Lucia 	Perhaps Quintus thought that had he lived, he would be tried as a war criminal, and his men punished with him. Perhaps, by taking his own life, he hoped to absolve them of any culpability. Or perhaps, like too many others, he was a true believer to the end.
Lucia 	Who can say. I didn't know the man, or his heart. His reasons, noble or otherwise, died with him, and it falls to us to clean up the mess...
Quest complete. 	Quest complete.
