Dialogue

Accepting the Quest

Lucinne: Oh, you're the adventurer from before. Have you come for more work? Because I could certainly do with an extra hand or two.
Lucinne: My analysis of the samples you brought me is coming along quite nicely, but there is one more area I would have you investigate.
Lucinne: There's a cavern southeast of here, the Comet's Tail, so named for the glowing ore covering its walls and ceiling, as if the gods themselves captured starlight and placed it there.
Lucinne: Despite its supposed beauty, however, I have heard reports that the area has been adversely affected by pollution. As before I need you to procure three samples of the soil and one of the water so I can ascertain the truth of what has happened there.
(Optional)
Lucinne: Whatever damage has been done to that cavern, I pray it is not irreversible. I will require samples of both the soil and water there to be certain.

Delivering the samples to Lucinne

Lucinne: Did you have trouble procuring the samples?
<Hand Over Cave Water Sample, 3 Cave Soil Sample>
Lucinne: Yes, this is perfect. Perhaps someday soon we can restore the cave to what it once was.
Lucinne: You see, the Comet's Tail was once a place of worship. Legend has it that, as the great flood of the Sixth Umbral Calamity swept across Eorzea, Rhalgr cast a great beacon into the sky to lead His people to safety. That beacon would one day fall to earth, and its remains are what illuminate that cave.
Lucinne: The Ala Mhigans placed altars within, and would often visit to offer up prayers to Rhalgr. Of course, that all changed when the Garleans came...
Lucinne: No one is certain for what purpose the cave was closed off, but some say it was used as a crude weapons research facility.
Lucinne: Whatever the truth may be, I will find it, and restore what was taken from the Ala Mhigans.
Lucinne: When that day comes, I hope you'll go and pay the Comet's Tail a visit.
