- Look for Cid in Rhalgr's Reach.
Journal
- Omega has recognized your prowess, and seeks to conclude its experiments with a direct confrontation. With the final battle looming before you, Cid requests that you allow him time to make a few important preparations. After making some adjustments at the base camp terminals and offering a few encouraging words to Alpha, the engineer suggests you all exit the rift. There is yet more to be done.
- You gather briefly at the lip of the Yawn, and Cid explains the need to run his new device through a final inspection. Alpha seems concerned about Cid's state of mind, and you feel compelled to follow the chocobo back to Rhalgr's Reach to check on the engineer.
Dialogue
Accepting the Quest
Cid: Your move, Omega...
Omega: <blip> Shutdown initiated. All core experiments and supplemental testing concluded.
Omega: Discarding test worlds. System resources rerouting to primary operations.
Omega: Congratulations, Alpha group. As the last surviving test subjects, you have removed every challenger on your path to reach me.
Omega: I, too, am eager to meet you in battle. The margin of error I observed between my simulations and your practical performance against Midgardsormr necessitates direct and immediate analysis.
Omega: <blip> Confrontation imminent. Prepare for unmitigated hostilities, then activate the relocation device to enter the arena.
Cid: ...This is it, then.
Cid: Omega's power might seem overwhelming, but trust in old Cid! I have a fair idea of where its weakness lies.
Cid: And I've been working on something to exploit that vulnerability -- I just need a little more time to prepare.
Cid: First things first, we make a few adjustments here... like so...
Cid: Ah, Alpha. Do you have any of those tricks and tools left over?
Cid: I want us to have as many options as possible, so let's lay our cards on the table... as it were.
Cid: What do we have here? Some sort of gem... A couple of stones...
Cid: And one single card. This makes things bigger, does it? Or is it smaller...?
Cid: Right. 'Twas foolish of me to even ask. We'd best leave you in charge of when and how to use your special tools.
Cid: Ah yes, I almost forgot...
Player: I'm sure you'll do fine! / Don't worry -- we'll win this, I promise! / You can always claw things if you run out of tricks!
Cid: Here, you should carry this as well. I've filled an empty bottle with the “invisibility water” from the kettle.
Cid: It might just prove useful in the right situation.
Cid: Listen to me, Alpha. Up until now, Omega has poked and prodded us from one mad experiment to the next, and honestly, we have no idea of what might happen in there.
Cid: But between us, I believe we have the knowledge and the skills to prevail. If you see a chance to make a difference, I want you take it. All you need is faith in yourself... and a little courage to see it through.
Cid: Right, Jessie should have that device put together by now. Let's head outside, shall we?
At the Yawn
Alpha: Kweh?
Cid: I'll head straight back to Rhalgr's Reach and collect my new toy.
Cid: I do still need to run through a final inspection, so feel free to rest in town in the meantime. We'll discuss strategy the moment I'm finished!
Alpha: Kweh... Kweh-kweh!
System: Alpha seems concerned for Cid's well-being. You have a feeling he wants you to follow him...
