“Glaumunt has finally devised a plan to appropriate a suit of magitek armor.
— In-game description
Rewards
Steps
- Greet the Imperial Centurion with an /imperialsalute.
- Use the imperial smoke signal at the specified location.
- Report to Cid.
Journal
- In excited tones, Glaumunt reveals to you his cunning plan for appropriating a magitek reaper. For the first step, seek out an imperial patrol outside Castrum Centri, and alert them to the presence of enemy forces. Remember to greet your superiors with an /imperialsalute.
- You have alerted the imperial patrol to the enemy's presence. As Glaumunt forewarned, however, the soldiers seem hesitant to venture far beyond the sight of the castrum's walls. You will need to lure them out by using the imperial smoke signal at the specified location.
- You have succeeded in acquiring a magitek reaper, though some repairs will be required before it can be put to use. Cid bids you meet him back at his workshop in Revenant's Toll. Speak with Slafborn at the front door to be admitted.
- You arrive at Cid's workshop to find that Biggs and Wedge have already set about repairing the magitek reaper. When their work is complete, it will finally be time to undertake the most dangerous phase of the mission: the rescue itself.

“Fool Me Twice” accepted.
Cross Imperial: You have no business being here! Begone or I will take you for an insurgent!
Beleaguered Imperial: Need...sleep... <snore>
Careless Imperial: What do you want?
Amiable Imperial: One of our informers, I take it? <sigh> Do you have any idea what will happen if you're seen with us? The insurgents will have your head!
Beguiled Imperial: Trespassers will be dealt with severely. You have been warned.
Imperial Centurion: One of our covert operatives, I take it? In or out of uniform, you would do well to remember your courtesies.
Imperial Centurion: One of our covert operatives, are you? Carry on, soldier.
...Hm? Insurgents gathering to the east, you say?
Imperial Centurion: Judging by your description, they are well beyond the perimeter...but I will not have it said that I was remiss. You, return to the scene and keep an eye on those insurgents. Should aught go awry, use your smoke signal to call us.
“Fool Me Twice” objective fulfilled!
Imperial Centurion: Return to the scene and keep an eye on those insurgents. Should aught go awry, use your smoke signal to call us.
Cid: I hope you don't mind my joining. Seeing as we're seizing advanced weaponry, I thought it best to be on hand.
Cid: Ah, there she is.
Imperial Centurion: This is the place...but where is the enemy?
Imperial Signaler: Sir, over there!
Imperial Centurion: Send in the reaper! Let us make an example of these insurgents!
The Echo grants you strength beyond your limits!
Cid: Keep hitting the reaper till it stops moving!
Cid: Put down all of the foot soldiers, then concentrate on the reaper! A few scratches can't be helped!
5th Cohort Eques: Hostiles detected! Engaging!
Cid: It's not easy being an engineer...
Cid: Hah! That did the trick!
The magitek armor is now overclocked!
Cid: Damn it! The armor has gone into overdrive! If you value your life, stay out of its sights!
Cid: At last, our very own suit of magitek armor!
Cid: Hmmm... Not wishing to look a gift chocobo in the beak, it does seem rather the worse for wear, doesn't it?
Cid: Biggs, Wedge─what's your honest assessment?
Biggs: Weeell...there's the fact that she's smoking, of course... But looking past that, I'd say she was structurally sound.
Wedge: Hmmm...I don't like the way these legs are buckled. I hate to say this, but the servomechanism may be damaged.
Biggs: Eh? But aren't those things protected by ilm-thick armor plate?
Wedge: They are, yes... It's odd─the casing doesn't seem to have taken a blow. I suspect we're dealing with a faulty part.
Biggs: Well, whatever it is we're dealing with, we're not resting till it's fixed! Not one wink of sleep─you got that, Wedge?
Wedge: Oh... <mumble> <mumble> ...ing cart chocobo.
Biggs: I heard that!
Cid: A hall has been set aside for our use in Revenant's Toll.
Cid: That's where we'll carry out the repairs. Look for us there, FIRSTNAME.
Alphinaud: In the wake of the Calamity, the XIVth Imperial Legion occupied what remained of Castrum Novum, eventually rebuilding and renaming it Castrum Centri.
Alphinaud: The stronghold contains immense manufacturing and storage facilities, and it is the primary supplier of materiel for imperial forces stationed throughout Eorzea.
Alphinaud: Consequently, it is heavily defended. Infiltrating will not be easy. Nevertheless, it is necessary.
Slafborn: ...The magitek armor? Cid and the others took it inside. Go on in and join them.
Biggs: Ever seen an Ironworks engineer at work? Well, you're in for a treat, then! Stand back and enjoy the show!
Wedge: What do you think, FIRSTNAME? She's a beauty, isn't she?
Cid: We've now had time to take a closer look at the reaper. Our preliminary diagnosis was correct─she's structurally sound, but her servomechanism is faulty.
Cid: You needn't worry, though─Biggs and Wedge will see her restored to her former glory in no time at all. Give those two something to mend, and they will think of naught else till the job's done. 'Tis a marvelous thing to behold─provided you remind them to visit the privy.
