Dialogue

Hippothoe:

• My, what a familiar essence you have! Like that of a familiar...if you're familiar with the concept?
• Oh, just my little joke. Player, was it? I am Hippothoe.

Ailouros:

• Meeew. Mew!

Hippothoe:

• Yes, yes, we're getting to that. Player, say “hello” to our familiar friend here. She's an ailouros.
• The ailouroi are one of our newest creations, highly attuned to abnormalities in their environment. At the first sign of danger, they'll sound the alarum─by which I mean “mewl loudly.”
• Though we do our best to observe all of our creations, Elpis is simply too large to maintain a constant vigil over each and every temperamental species. A more efficient means of detecting conflict between creatures was in order.
• Thus have I taken this ailouros under my wing, to further develop her capabilities in this area. And she does enjoy our little walks.
• This morning, we are testing her ability to pinpoint sites of conflict. Would you like to observe?
• Simply tell her that her task is begun, and she'll do her utmost to locate disruptive creatures.
• Please do subdue any unruly subjects once you've found them. We can't have beasts running amok!

Ailouros:

• Mew, mew!
• Mrrr... Mew!!!
• Mrrrp!

Hippothoe:

• She seems quite content, but in the name of science─what were the results?
• As I expected. Well done, little one!
• Magnificent creatures, the both of you. It's a shame we cannot give you a pair of tiny wings and a bell too, but it's against protocol, I'm afraid.
• The ailouroi are enchanted with theirs at birth, so they are able to acclimate properly.
• I'm certain you have your own unique potential to rise to, however. In fact─why not join us for another phase of testing?
