| |
| | |
| G'raha Tia:
| |
| * So, the console we seek lies on the far side of this isle.
| |
| * Given the nature of the ground, the route may not be entirely direct as it seems.
| |
| * Let us all watch our step as we make our way.
| |
| * This appears to be the console.
| |
| | |
| G'raha Tia:
| |
| * But it seems...unresponsive.
| |
| * Would you care to take a look at it?
| |
| * No luck, I see.
| |
| * But there must be a way to activate it. There must...
| |
| | |
| Alisaie:
| |
| * Well, I'm out of ideas...
| |
| | |
| Alphinaud:
| |
| * As am I. Operating such consoles is trying enough, but if we can't even activate it...
| |
| | |
| G'raha Tia:
| |
| * Perhaps there is a way.
| |
| * First, consider the world that has been recreated here.
| |
| * Its inhabitants were machines who gathered combat data to enhance themselves. And among the many wars they waged, the most notable was that against the dragons.
| |
| * As you've doubtless surmised, I believe this was the home world of Omega.
| |
| | |
| '''If you have not done Omega, you get this script fork:'''
| |
| * Aye, I speak of the ancient weapon. The one which the Alliance unleashed upon Shinryu.
| |
| * I will spare you the long story, but according to the records I read in the future, it possessed a single weakness: lightning.
| |
| | |
| '''If you have done Omega, you get this script fork:'''
| |
| * Cid built a jamming device to defeat it. A device which generated massive bursts of lightning, its sole weakness.
| |
| | |
| '''Script forks converge:'''
| |
| | |
| Alisaie:
| |
| * That's all well and good, but what does that─ ...Wait, you're not thinking to strike the console with lightning, are you?
| |
| | |
| G'raha Tia:
| |
| * As a matter of fact, I am. Ask yourselves this: why would an entity as puissant as Omega not be designed to suppress the effects of lightning?
| |
| | |
| Alphinaud:
| |
| * Because it relies upon it─or something akin to it─as a source of energy.
| |
| | |
| G'raha Tia:
| |
| * My thoughts exactly. And there is a good chance the same is true of the Omicrons and their devices.
| |
| * So, shall I cast caution to the wind and try something reckless and dramatic?
| |
| | |
| '''If you have done Omega, you'll get the following two lines:'''
| |
| * You still have it!? Cid and Nero's legendary device, which brought low the superweapon Omega!?
| |
| * Wait... The actual device was much too big to lug around, so you must have only the control module. And there I was getting all excited...
| |
| * Never mind. An old-fashioned spell will suffice.
| |
| | |
| '''G'raha Tia casts Thunder regardless, and the script forks converge once more:'''
| |
| | |
| Alisaie:
| |
| * It...it worked!
| |
| | |
| ???:
| |
| * Opening connection to Communications Module I... Connection established.
| |
| | |
| Sir:
| |
| * Transmission: strategic Matrix Stigma-1 now online. As the primary strategic matrix, you may address me as “Sir.”
| |
| * Checking for new communications... None found. All units, please maintain current state.
| |
| * End transmission. Closing connection...
| |
| | |
| G'raha Tia:
| |
| * Wait! We have questions for you!
| |
| * Of late, no mission orders have been issued. Why not? Has there been some manner of trouble?
| |
| | |
| Sir:
| |
| * Reply: the extended operations unit has yet to determine guidelines for future assignments.
| |
| * All strategies are calculated, devised, and actioned in accordance with said guidelines.
| |
| * In the interim, all citizens are directed to maintain a state of combat readiness. End reply. Awaiting query.
| |
| | |
| Alphinaud:
| |
| * Can you tell us why the extended operations unit hasn't yet determined the guidelines?
| |
| | |
| Sir:
| |
| * Unable to comply. Information unavailable or access restricted.
| |
| | |
| Alphinaud:
| |
| * In that case, is it possible for us to communicate directly with the unit?
| |
| | |
| Sir:
| |
| * ...Access denied. Unable to establish connection.
| |
| | |
| Alisaie:
| |
| * Is there anything you can tell us? Have there been any abnormalities, like a threat to the star or widespread unrest?
| |
| | |
| Sir:
| |
| * Reply: negative. All citizens continue to operate at maximum efficiency.
| |
| * If your operations are suboptimal, please proceed to a maintenance facility for evaluation. Otherwise, standby at your designated post. End reply.
| |
| * End transmission. Closing connection...
| |
| | |
| G'raha Tia:
| |
| * I could activate it again, but I doubt it would be productive. What do you think?
| |
| | |
| Alisaie:
| |
| * If all the Omicrons really were running as efficiently as it claimed, then I doubt they were hoping for life here to end.
| |
| * As this Sir told us, there just haven't been any new instructions, and everyone is standing by.
| |
| | |
| Alphinaud:
| |
| * Should be standing by, at any rate. If there are those that are neglecting their duties, perhaps we can glean a clue from them.
| |
| * I propose we take another look around, and also try to find the operations unit.
| |
| * Let us focus our search on the outpost.
| |
| * Alisaie and I will try speaking with the Omicrons this time, in the hopes we might learn something new.
| |
| * Meanwhile, perhaps you and G'raha could observe them from a distance.
| |
| * These beings are systematic and routine by nature. If there are any that aren't, it shouldn't be too difficult to spot them.
| |
| * If there are no questions, then let us begin at once!
| |
| | |
| G'raha Tia:
| |
| * As we came this way, I believe I spied a promising vantage point. Follow me.
| |
| * An Omicron wandering aimlessly? Where!?
| |
| * Aha, I see it!
| |
| * It's left the base. Let's follow it!
| |
| * It's not here, but it definitely came this way. It must have used the portal.
| |
| * Time to go through and see what we find...
| |
| | |
| M-017:
| |
| * Bzzzt... What is your query?
| |
| | |
| G'raha Tia:
| |
| * Ah, you found it!
| |
| * What are you doing here?
| |
| | |
| M-017:
| |
| * ...I am looking at the tree.
| |
| | |
| G'raha Tia:
| |
| * Quite an unusual specimen... What is the device attached to it?
| |
| | |
| M-017:
| |
| * The tree is a sample collected from another star. As it cannot survive in our environment, however, it requires life support. That is the function of the device.
| |
| | |
| G'raha Tia:
| |
| * To go to such lengths to sustain it... Is there something special about this tree?
| |
| | |
| M-017:
| |
| * Being foreign matter, protocol requires that we study it. As this task has been completed, the specimen may be discarded.
| |
| * However, when I behold the tree, I am made to feel as though...there is a problem.
| |
| * In order to become strong, we have continued to enhance ourselves. Like we did countless others, we conquered the star whence this tree came.
| |
| * It is the last remnant of a dead world, and there is nothing towards which it may aspire. Yet it grows. Extends its branches. Sprouts leaves. Produces seeds.
| |
| * Why does it seek to continue?
| |
| * Why was it made to behave in such a way, and to what end? I do not understand.
| |
| | |
| G'raha Tia:
| |
| * ...I see. Out of curiosity, does this pertain to your duty?
| |
| | |
| M-017:
| |
| * ...No, it does not. My apologies, I shall return to my designated post and assume a state of combat readiness.
| |
| | |
| G'raha Tia:
| |
| * So, it was acting outside of orders...
| |
| * Perhaps it is simply a malfunctioning Omicron. These are by no means uncommon.
| |
| * But it may also be a unit possessed of the ability to make decisions. One not unlike Sir...
| |
| * I believe this bears further investigation.
| |
| * To endeavor to live even if we must depend on forces beyond our control...
| |
| * Tell me, Player. One day, when this adventure becomes a part of your epic, do you think I will be mentioned in it?
| |
| * You truly think so? That would be a...
| |
| * Nay, I shouldn't say such things until the moment comes to pass. Never mind the embarrassment...
| |
| * ...Well, we had best get on with our task.
| |
| * Tracking down Sir, and understanding the nature of the emotion which bars our way!
