Prishe: Hm...
Maybe he's/she's really dead...Prishe: Wh-what the...!?
A flying boat?Prishe: That's the contraption that dragged me all the way to this dusty hellhole!
Prishe: Hey, wait up! Come back and fight like a man!
Chapter 3: A Transient Dream
The Call of the Wyrmking - Port Bastok Prishe: Hey you! Yeah, I'm talkin' to you!
Is that big hunk of junk yours?
Carey: Huh...?
Klaus: Um...?
Prishe: I said, is that thing yours? Don't make me repeat myself again, if you know what's good for you!
Carey: This thing... Do you mean the airship?
Prishe: No, I mean the funny thing you're wearing on your head... Of course I mean the airship!
Klaus: Well, yes. This airship was built by the Republic's top engineer, Cid.
Prishe: Alright, where is this Cid guy? C'mon, bring him on out!
Carey: Ah... Um... If you are looking for Cid, he should be in his laboratory in the Metalworks...
Prishe: Got it!
Now how the hell am I supposed to find this Mentalworks place...?The Call of the Wyrmking - Metalworks Cid: Well, that was exciting...
Hm? You're looking for that rude and crude little girl?
Cid: Well, why didn't you say so!?
We thought she might go causing trouble, so...Naji: So we threw the vagrant into one of our holding cells.
Ayame: Lady Cornelia has been keeping the girl company.
Master Cid, have you sustained any injuries?Cid: I'm fine. I'm fine.
But it's our little guest that I'm worried about. She seems pretty confused and upset. I was going to let her rest a while before I tried talking to her.Cid: Oh, don't worry. She hasn't done anything wrong, and there are no plans of punishing her any further.
Cid: She'll be let go once we've sorted a few things out...
Do you know what she was yelling about earlier?Cid: All that nonsense about airships and Wyrmkings... I couldn't make heads or tails of it...
Cid: What!?
Armored airships?
Hooded scientists?Cid: Well...
The scientists are probably the ones from Jeuno.
As for the airships, all I can think is that they might be the ones modified for battle during the Great War. But that project was canceled after the allied forces defeated the Shadow Lord's armies.Cid: I know because I was a member of the project!
Cid: Twenty years ago, I get this invitation from the duke himself to work on a secret project for the duchy. Minus myself and a few other scientists from Windurst, all the rest of the people assigned to the project are these creepy, pale-faced men in dark, hooded robes.
Cid: They rarely showed their faces in public, but from what I saw, the knowledge and technology they possessed was far superior to anything I had ever seen anywhere on Vana'diel.
Cid: Why, the "crystal propulsion unit" they had developed was years ahead of its time.
Cid: But it required an energy source more powerful than that which the eight elemental crystals found on Vana'diel could provide.
Cid: What were the Jeunoan scientists using to power their unit, and where did they discover that power?
Cid: I was determined to find out, so I started watching them every chance I got.
Cid: It wasn't long before I noticed that they were conducting a lot of strange experiments around the Crag of Holla, but I couldn't put my finger on exactly what they were doing...
Cid: And now they've restarted the project! But why are they sending the airships to Tavnazia...?
Prishe: To catch Bahamut, that's why!
Cid: !?
Cornelia: Cid, this is Prishe. She's feeling much better than she was before.
I think she's ready to talk.Cid: Thanks, Cornelia.
So, Prishe. First, let me apologize for keeping you locked up for so long. No hard feelings, alright?
But I need you to tell me, who is this Bahamut you keep talking about?Prishe: Oh, you mean the Wyrmking. Well, everything was all fine and dandy until one day, this huge dragon appears over my hometown.
Prishe: We were going to meet this dragon and try to knock some sense into him when out of nowhere, a huge airship contraption with all these guns and cannons flies up.
Prishe: We were right in the middle of giving the guys from that ship a sound beating until poof, I'm warped to this hellhole.
Cornelia: What!?
You were actually fighting against the duchy?Prishe: Hey, we weren't just going to sit there and let them kill Bahamut! Anyway, it was Jeuno who took the first shots.
Prishe: If only I had a little more time, I could have found out what the Wyrmking meant when he was talking about the Keeper of the Apocalypse...
Cornelia: Keeper of the Apocalypse...
I've heard that name somewhere before...Cid: Hmmm...
I'm not sure what it is exactly, but I can sense that something big is going down.Cid: At the same time that the Telepoint at Dem shattered, I heard a report of a giant dragon appearing over the sea north of Jeuno.
Cid: If that dragon was actually Bahamut, then we can conclude that the two events are in some way connected.
Prishe: Then that's all the reason to get back to Riverne and try meeting with the Wyrmking one more time!
C'mon, let's head for Jeuno!Cid: Jeuno? After all that's happened, why would you want to go there?
Prishe: I've got an old friend who works at the Tenshodo. If I ask him, he'll be more than happy to ready a boat back to Tavnazia.
Prishe: Well, I'll be seeing you guys around! Thanks for all the hospitality!
Cornelia: Hey, wait!
How do you plan on traveling to Jeuno? Do you even know how far it is!?
