Forward, the Royal Marines

is a Quest in Final Fantasy XIV: A Realm Reborn.
==Journal==
* Surito Carito informs you he has learned how to track the invisible voidsent. His research has revealed that your faerie can perceive where the fiend has feasted, and that you can track it via these aetherial traces. With Alka Zolka and the new Royal Marines at your back, make your way to the Floating City of Nym, and begin the hunt for the fiend.
* Your faerie detects the voidsent's aetherial traces─the remains of its prey. She directs you next towards Zelma's Run in upper La Noscea.
* Your faerie once again senses the aetherial traces of the voidsent, this time moving towards Camp Bronze Lake. Hurry there and consult with Alka Zolka.
* With a burst of blinding light, your faerie dispels the spell concealing the voidsent. The foe now visible, the Royal Marines charge. Alka Zolka and his soldiers deliver punishing blows, whilst your spells defend them. The battle is fierce, but soon the fiend lies dying. With its last breaths, it makes ready to release the sickness─yet before it can, the tonberries come to your aid. The killing blow is theirs. Now, as you stand victorious, congratulate your fellow combatants for putting an end to this specter of Mhach.
* You have spoken with your comrades-in-arms. Before you head off into the sunset, it would be best to see what comments Surito Carito has.
* Though the cure to the tonberries' plight is still not quite within your grasp, Surito Carito remains gratified by the outcome of the day's events. Seeing both your people and his able to work together toward a common cause is victory enough, at least for now.
※The next scholar quest will be available from Alka Zolka once you have met the following requirements:
※ You must have registered a product key for FINAL FANTASY XIV: Stormblood to your service account.
※ You must have completed the main scenario quest “The Far Edge of Fate.”

Surito Carito 	I have it, [Player Name]─the means to track our invisible voidsent! The time is come to discuss our attack.
Alka Zolka 	Hah hah! I've been waiting for this day! What's the plan, Surito Carito?
Surito Carito 	First, we will need to track our quarry. I believe it has been feeding upon the aether of local creatures to regain its strength.
Surito Carito 	The way in which it feeds leaves behind unique aetherial traces. As bread crumbs mark the path of a hungry child, this trail will lead us straight to the voidsent.
Alka Zolka 	How are we to detect these traces?
Surito Carito 	With Lily's aid. She can sense where the voidsent has left aether undevoured.
Surito Carito 	We will begin our search where you unearthed the amphora, and follow where Lily leads.
Surito Carito 	Once she senses the voidsent is near, we will force it to show itself. Lily will illuminate the area, and her light will dispel the magicks concealing it. Right, my dear?
Surito Carito 	With the voidsent visible, we will attack with all our might. The marines will charge, and kill it before it causes more damage!
Alka Zolka 	This is it, [Player Name]─our chance to prove the might of our corps!
Alka Zolka 	Little one, the fate of the realm is in your hands. Are you ready?
Surito Carito 	Then our course is clear. May our plan ensure the sickness never again claims a victim!
Alka Zolka 	To victory─come hells or high water!
Surito Carito 	Quickly, my friend, to where you found the amphora!
 	
Surito Carito 	Our future rests upon your success. May good fortune attend you today.
Alka Zolka 	Where could it have gone...?
 	
Alka Zolka 	What is it, [Player Name]?
Alka Zolka 	B-But that way lies Camp Bronze Lake!
Alka Zolka 	What purpose could it have there? The healing waters? No... I suppose it is home to─
Alka Zolka 	Of course! The wounded Maelstrom soldiers! It means to spread the sickness anew through them!
Alka Zolka 	We must stop it! Quickly, to the camp!
 	
Oldsailor01676 	Godsdammit! This place is bloody crowded! If we don't find the voidsent quickly, there's to be a lot more tonberries!
Sailor01676 	But how do we draw it out into the open if we can't see it?
Alka Zolka 	Get the soldiers to evacuate! [Player Name], find the voidsent with Lily's light!
Alka Zolka 	[Player Name]!
Alka Zolka 	At long last...
wounded soldier	Waaah! M-M-Monster!
Alka Zolka 	For Limsa, for the tonberries, and for glory─attack!
Marines01676 	TO VICTORY─COME HELLS OR HIGH WATER!
 	
Enemy01676 	Deleted
Oldsailor01676 	Is...is it─
Alka Zolka 	Get back! It's trying to infect us!
Surito Carito 	No!
Surito Carito 	Now, [Player Name]!
Enemy01676 	Deleted
Alka Zolka 	Ahaha! We are victorious!
Surito Carito 	Yes... When I think on the horror it visited upon my people, I...
Surito Carito 	But now, no one else will share our fate. My thanks to you and Alka Zolka both.
Halga Tolga 	Aye, you've got my gratitude as well. Good to see proper Royal Marines at it again.
Surito Carito 	Indeed it is. Today, the torch is passed to you─may the Royal Marines evermore defend the people!
 	
Sailor01676 	An honor fighting beside you, madam/sir! If you ever have need of us, you need only ask.
Oldsailor01676 	Ain't common feelin' that safe in a battle. I reckon those Nymians knew what they were doin' with them scholars an' faeries. I'll have yer back, too, if ever ye need it.
Halga Tolga 	<sniffle> Bloody tonberry eyes, always running with─ Bah, who am I kidding? You did a fine job, a fine job indeed!
Halga Tolga 	...But don't you dare think of easing up on your training on account of one victory! If you sully the name of my beloved marines, I'll flay the skin off your back!
Alka Zolka 	Imagine, [Player Name], defeating a voidsent over fifteen hundred years old... When we first met, I didn't dare think we'd achieve such things together.
Alka Zolka 	The threat is gone, and the Royal Marines are born anew. Not a bad day's work, I daresay.
Alka Zolka 	But we are far from finished. I do not know what threats the future holds, but they will not find us unprepared─not as long as I have aught to say about it. To victory, my friend─come hells or high water!
Surito Carito 	You have won a great victory today, my friend. Your allies will appreciate it if you tell them so.
Surito Carito 	I have gathered the voidsent's remains. With careful research, they should yield the secrets I need to heal my people.
Surito Carito 	I am not so naive as to believe the answers will come quickly. Yet the cure shall be ours one day.
Surito Carito 	For now, my people will labor so that we may walk with yours towards a brighter dawn. I would see a future where we are part of the realm, not shunned by it.
Surito Carito 	Thank you, my friend. Lily chose most wisely in you.
Surito Carito 	Allow me to pass on to you one of Nym's mightiest abilities─Dissipation. It is a secret spell meant for use only by those scholars who have earned the full trust of their faerie companions. Use it with care.
Surito Carito 	Now, I must return to my people, and you to yours. Fare you well, and may our efforts make tomorrow a brighter day!
