==Dialogue==

===Quest Acceptance ===
Sphene: Alexandria has no need for Queen Sphene. It's the Queen of Reason─my Endless counterpart─that they love.
Sphene: And although it is a hard truth to accept...it is nevertheless the truth. I must find a new way to serve...

Gulool Ja: You're not alone. And together, we can get through anything.

Wuk Lamat: Well said. And it just so happens there's something that only you can do right this moment...
Wuk Lamat: Let's start with Calyx. What can you tell us about him?

Sphene: He was a prodigy who specialized in the field of electrope and made his mark during the Storm Surge. Yet even as he basked in the admiration of his peers, he struggled with an illness he had from birth, which left him with precious little time to live.
Sphene: For him to still be here four centuries on, I think it safe to assume that he too has become an Endless.

Wuk Lamat: I see... While we're somewhat familiar with Preservation, I never imagined we'd cross paths with one of them like this.

Sphene: You know about Preservation?

Wuk Lamat: We do. They're supposed to have created Everkeep's core system as well as the Endless Sphene.

Sphene: Did they? All while I was slumbering...

Gulool Ja: The members of Oblivion have spent a lot of time investigating Preservation. We should head to the Backroom and tell them what's happened.

===Optional Dialogue===
Sphene: To think that Krile's parents were once members of Preservation...

Wuk Lamat: We've given the others a summary, but we can wait on the details if you need some rest.

Gulool Ja: Are you feeling alright?

Shale: The sign might yield some clues...

G'raha Tia: We heard about the ambush. You seem to have weathered it well, but try to avoid straining yourself, do you hear me?

===Speak with Krile in the Backroom (Voiced)===
Krile: We've heard what happened. So, Preservation has revealed itself at last.

G'raha Tia: And using the key, they mean to turn even more people into Endless...
G'raha Tia: It seems safe to assume that they, too, intend to steal aether from the other reflections.
G'raha Tia: But unlike the previous Sphene, they have no intention of saving everyone.
G'raha Tia: Calyx of all people would know precisely how much aether is required to sustain an Endless. Thus he is able to set a realistic limit to their creation, without being swayed by emotion.

Krile: Carefully managed, eternal preservation... Whether or not this can be considered an evolution, 'tis plain that man's very existence would be forever changed.

Wuk Lamat: Say... If this Calyx is as brilliant a scientist as everyone says, could he have been the one who erased everyone's memories of Endless Sphene's death?

Sphene: That is a possibility, though I cannot speak to his motives...

Krile: Though Calyx has outright stated his ultimate goal, how his actions will further this agenda remains unclear...
Krile: That said, we have seen how anxiety towards death continues to spread amongst Alexandrians. Perhaps the simulant stokes this fear to entice them to become Endless.

Sphene: Everyone is afraid of death. We try to put it out of our minds, and I do not blame the people for feeling as they do.
Sphene: Nonetheless, I wish to stop the simulant. I wish to do what I can for those who believe in their queen.
Sphene: Although I wear no crown, were I to forsake the people...then I would truly have no place here.

Shale: I don't know if this will help in that endeavor, but I've found something interesting.
Shale: When I analyzed the sign that Calyx appeared on, I was able to determine the source of transmission. I traced it back to a terminal used only by Preservation, located in the foundation sector.

Gulool Ja: Foundation sector... That came up in my mother's records, didn't it? It's where the old castle was hidden.

Shale: Everkeep was built atop the castle of the former kingdom. Access to the immediate area─the foundation sector─is highly restricted, with map data accordingly classified.

Sphene: The old castle is inside this tower...?

Shale: It's an ideal place for Preservation to conceal a terminal, I must say. Having existed since the Storm Surge, they would be familiar with the castle's layout.

Krile: But I wonder, would someone so versed in electrope such as Calyx be so careless as to leave a trail?

Shale: Oh, I expect he intended for us to find the terminal.

G'raha Tia: It may be a trap, but it's our only lead. What do you think, my friend?

Options
* If we have a lead, I say we follow it!
* We can't leave them to their own devices.
* I think a little revenge is in order.

* We can't leave them to their own devices.
G'raha Tia: No, we cannot. We must learn exactly what he is plotting.

* If we have a lead, I say we follow it!
G'raha Tia: Agreed. And besides, you owe him for that bolt of lightning.

* I think a little revenge is in order.
G'raha Tia: That it is. While I'm glad you're safe, we cannot allow his offense to go unanswered.

Shale: If you're set on this course of action, I'll work on getting you access to the foundation sector. Sit tight for now.

Sphene: Please let me come with you!
Sphene: I may not possess any special skills, but I know the castle better than any. So please...

Wuk Lamat: If that's what you want, then we go together. The rest of us will take point and secure the way, and we'll count on you to guide us in the castle.

=== Optional Dialogue ===
G'raha Tia: In the world of Sphene's memories, the town was already submerged. Given their dire circumstances, I expect the people considered stripping the castle for materials to rebuild.
G'raha Tia: For the structure to endure even now... It speaks to its importance to the Alexandrians, as well as their resilience.

Krile: Calyx determines how many will become Endless, but leaves the choice of who in the hands of the people...
Krile: Is this his idea of fairness, or does he simply not care? Perhaps he considers all to be worthy of salvation...? Oh, but it's too early for such speculation...

Shale: I'm working on securing a route to the foundation sector. Please sit tight for a while.

Gulool Ja: According to the records from Yuweyawata, my mother was investigating Origenics for her own research into souls.
Gulool Ja: There was map data for Origenics in the records, and that's how we learned about the castle in the foundation sector.

Wuk Lamat: At last we have a plan. Let's make it count!

===Quest Completion===
Sphene: Thank you for allowing me to accompany you.
Sphene: It may take time for me to find my place in this new Alexandria, but I will. Slowly but surely.

*Aid [[Eueliss]].

*Speak with [[Eueliss]].

*Speak with [[Eueliss]].

*Speak with [[Eueliss]].

==Journal==
*Eueliss appears to have been awaiting your arrival.

*Recognizing you as Alphinaud's traveling companion, Eueliss requests that you provide her an escort to the nearby Stonegazer. Find her on the path north of the village, and be prepared to fend off any aggressive wildlife.

*You have dispatched the threat on the path to Stonegazer. It seems, however, that Eueliss could use a hand getting to her feet...

*Eueliss recovers quickly and continues on her way. At this pace, you will soon arrive at Stonegazer.

*Once at Stonegazer, Eueliss addresses a man by the name of Sai-Lewq, who appears to be a close friend of her father. It seems she would surrender to him the role of mayor, but Sai-Lewq refuses to consider the proposal unless Eueliss completes for him a number of tasks. The first of these tasks─the acquisition of a sickle─takes you back to the village of Wright...

*Returned to the village once more, Eueliss soon comes into possession of the requested sickle. The suddenly tense exchange between her and a villager, however, leads her to explain more of the incident which befell the people of Wright the year before─a tragedy which culminated in her father taking his own life. A determined Eueliss nevertheless bids you accompany her back to Stonegazer and Sai-Lewq.

*Eueliss hands the sickle to her father's friend, but is obviously distressed by Sai-Lewq's stubborn refusal of reality. She thanks you again for the escort, and your continued presence at her side.

*Eueliss appears ready to accept Sai-Lewq's next task.

*Eueliss asks Sai-Lewq for his second task─a duty which apparently involves a slow-footed Talos. Follow her lead, and help free the Talos in question from any bothersome predators.

*You have inspected the derelict Talos, and dealt with the pests which infested its interior. Eueliss waits nearby with a look of resignation...

*Eueliss briefly explains the decline of Talos in the region, and how the rusted specimen you inspected─a favorite of Sai-Lewq's─was damaged to the point where it would never move again. With nothing more to be done, you turn back towards Stonegazer.

*Sai-Lewq appears well pleased by your actions in aiding his dear Talos. Eueliss, too, thanks you for your assistance, and hopes that you will stay to help with whatever other confounding errands the old man has in store.
