## Dialogue

Previous: "Moon Magic!"
(*Talking to Stallion Quartermane on the Doom Moon*)

 **Stallion Quartermane:** Now what say the three of us go show whoever is commanding this rig what-for?
 **The Shadoe:** Let's go!
(*After entering the Bridge*)

 **Magus Pilot:** You will go no further. We are the Magus Pilots, the arcane core of this battle station, the greatest magical minds the Spiral-
 **The Shadoe:** You have abandonment issues, you are questioning the ethics of your order, you think you're too short, and you're, huh, just sadistic.
 **Magus Pilot:** I... I feel seen. That's all I ever wanted. How about you guys? Come on, let's go get real help with our issues instead of blowing up worlds.
 **Stallion Quartermane:** Well done, the Shadoe, now let's-
 **The Bantam:** Uh, guys, targeting systems are picking up incoming ships. A lot of them. Guess the Spiral had a backup plan for dealing with Novus.
 **The Shadoe:** He's right. I can sense them. We have entire fleets heading our way. How are we supposed to fight that?
 **Stallion Quartermane:** We won't, the Wizard shall. With this station!
 **The Shadoe:** One person can't control this whole rig.
 **Stallion Quartermane:** They won't have to, ha-ha! According to these consoles I just skimmed, there are Magus Magnafighters that can channel the Doom Moon's power.
 **Stallion Quartermane:** Pilot such a ship, the Wizard, and the Doom Moon will enhance your own spells.
 **Stallion Quartermane:** Only you can do it. Only you have the mystical prowess. Use your magic. Use this station. Fight those ships and end this conflict!
Dialogue continues in "Doom Moon 101" and returns here once completed
(*After defeating the Naval Fleets*)

 **Stallion Quartermane:** You did it, the Wizard! Now dock your ship and disengage!
(*After returning to the Bridge of the Doom Moon*)

 **The Shadoe:** Wizard, are you okay?
 **Stallion Quartermane:** Of course they're okay. They're victorious! What a show! What a battle! One for the ages, I think.
 **The Shadoe:** Probably ought to start taking this thing apart now, though.
 **Stallion Quartermane:** Indeed, the Shadoe. The Wizard, we'll handle that. Take the Rocket back to Conatus and tell those World Leaders their plot has been foiled. Ha-ha!
(*After taking the Rocket back to Conatus and going to the Meeting Area*)

 **Maxine Rockhoppierre:** You wretched, misbegotten child! We just had that fleet recalled and you blew it up!
 **Don Manzana:** And it accomplished nothing! Our troops all parachuted to safety. As soon as they recover, they will still overrun Novus.
 **Dasein:** No, I don't think they will.
 **Mario di Mario:** WIZARD? No, wait, I know that voice! It's-a you, Dasein!
 **Dasein:** I am Novus. I am all its structures and creatures. I have retreated from your skies. But this sky is mine. It is me.
 **Dasein:** If you choose to invade, I will turn the ground beneath you to lava or swarm you with Irks. So, given that, let us talk terms.
(*Talking to Dasein in Conatus*)

 **Dasein:** Your people are welcome to remain. I would like to learn from them and live amongst them. You five, however, are banished.
 **Rottingham Weiler:** Like rot we are. You don't seem to understand how power in the Spiral works. It isn't magic. It's ownership. And you belong to us.
 **Red Rosa:** Is that so, Lord Rottingham? The Free Republic of Polaris might have some opinions about that. About all of you in fact.
 **Maxine Rockhoppierre:** Citizen Red Rosa! You're here... and with Princess Pesca, King Gortez of Monquista and... is that Queen Vicorgia? Well, you'll be pleased-
 **Red Rosa:** You all have caused chaos, started a war and tried to destroy the world you were meant to settle. Pleased? Ha!
 **Queen Vicorgia:** We are not amused! Thus we have decided that you will all be replaced as governors and will each return home to roles more suited to your limited skillsets.
 **Mario di Mario:** NOOOOOOO! Not the royal plumber again! The pipes are filled... with turtles.
 **Dasein:** Hmm, while I am pleased they are departing, I don't know that I want any more of your officials here.
 **Red Rosa:** Tres understandable... Dasein, oui? We understand the nature of corruption. I am certain we can find a way to coexist.
 **Dasein:** Perhaps. But, first, Wizard, let us talk with our other guest.
(*Talking to Judge Veg in Conatus*)

 **Judge Veg:** Wizard. Like I said, we had agents in every court. Looks like the Cabal can do some good after all, huh?
 **Dasein:** Indeed it can, Judge.
 **Judge Veg:** Huh. Not gettin' less weird.
 **Dasein:** I have seen much of your group. In person and through the eyes of the Old One. I think it time we give you a new purpose and resolve your former schism.
 **Judge Veg:** You mean the Summit? Where all this started? The Old One's peace with the Arcanum? Do you think they'd ever go for it?
 **Dasein:** I hope they will. If the Wizard asks them. Go, please, Wizard, gather the Arcanum Scholars here. I will make the preparations.
(*Talking to Ione Virga at the Hall of Divination in the Arcanum*)

 **Ione Virga:** Wizard, you have returned from Wallaru unharmed... I am both surprised... and pleased.
 **Ione Virga:** Scholar von Trap was just explaining to me how Musicology is indeed a real School of Magic and not merely his fabrication. What did you need?
