To think Quetzalcoatl would come barging in herself. [k] [charaFadeout C 0.1] [charaTalk G] [charaFace G 2] [charaFadein G 0.1 1] @Gilgamesh What a nuisance!

King Gilgamesh, what are you making? [k] [charaFadeout A 0.1] [charaTalk G] [charaFace G 3] [charaFadein G 0.1 1] @Gilgamesh ...No. Nothing.

What's the point of making a secret weapon if it's not being kept a secret... [k] [charaFadeout G 0.1] [charaFadeout H 0.1] [charaTalk G] [charaFace G 2] [charaFadein G 0.1 1] @Gilgamesh Ugh, this is all because of that insane goddess! Ishtar! She's one of yours! [k] @Gilgamesh Make yourself useful! Do something about her! [k] [charaFadeout G 0.1] [charaTalk F] [charaFace F 10] [charaFadein F 0.1 1] @Ishtar Hey, she's not one of mine! She's from a completely different culture! [k] ?1:Really? [charaFace F 8] @Ishtar Really. She's a different class and uses different weapons. Other things like the amount of skin showing and our alignments are generally the same. [k] [charaFadeout F 0.1] [charaTalk A] [charaFace A 1] [charaFadein A 0.1 1] @Mash (So that means the two get along, Senpai!)

Even if it's true, don't mention it, Mash!) [k] [charaFadeout A 0.1] [communicationCharaClear] [wait communicationChara] ?2:You think so? [charaFace F 2] @Ishtar We're totally different! There aren't that many muscle-headed goddesses like her! [k] [charaFadeout F 0.1] [charaTalk E] [charaFace E 0] [charaFadein E 0.1 1] @Fou Fou? Foufofo, fofofofooou? [k] [charaFadeout E 0.1] ?! [charaTalk F] [charaFace F 11] [charaFadein F 0.1 1] @Ishtar ...Well, there's no denying that she's a nuisance. [k] @Ishtar Like the way she picks fights with humans one by one. She's got a weird idea of eradicating humanity, but I guess she'd call it integrity. [k] @Ishtar And, if she's coming tomorrow, that means she intends on killing one hundred people every day. [k] [charaFadeout F 0.1] [charaTalk H] [charaFace H 0] [charaFadein H 0.1 1] @Siduri Yes. Exactly one hundred soldiers fell victim. The corpses were carried off, so we can't even bury them... [k] [charaFadeout H 0.1] [charaTalk G] [charaFace G 5] [charaFadein G 0.1 1] @Gilgamesh Even if we wanted to fight, we're no match for her.[sr]Don't you have a plan of some sort, Dr. Roman? [k] [charaFadeout G 0.1] [charaTalk B] [communicationCharaLoop 98003003 1 5 0 2] @Dr. Roman Eh? You're asking me!? You guys have Merlin over there! [k] @Dr. Roman Use that clairvoyance or whatever, and take a peek at what Quetzalcoatl is doing! [k] [communicationCharaClear] [wait communicationChara] [charaTalk C] [charaFace C 4] [charaFadein C 0.1 1] @Merlin I'd really like to do that, but I can't overuse my clairvoyance. I'm using my magical energy for other things right now. [k] [charaFace C 0] @Merlin At any rate, she'll definitely pick up on it if I observe her. [k] @Merlin And as many a myth has shown, goddesses don't respond well to being peeked on. Isn't that right, Ishtar? [k] [charaFadeout C 0.1] [charaTalk depthOff] [charaDepth F 0] [charaDepth C 1] [charaTalk F] [charaFace F 1] [charaFadein F 0.1 0] [charaFace C 0] [charaFadein C 0.1 2] @Ishtar Yeah, I'd kill them. I'd use my Authority, my Noble Phantasm, everything I have, and blast wherever the peeper is to oblivion! [k] [charaFace C 0] @Merlin See? Do you want to piss her off like that? I don't! And THAT'S why I can't use clairvoyance to check out Quetzalcoatl. [k] [charaFadeout C 0.1] [charaFadeout F 0.1] [charaTalk B] [communicationCharaLoop 98003003 1 5 0 4] @Dr. Roman ...I see. I wish you'd told me earlier that you were restricting your clairvoyance. [k] @Dr. Roman No wonder something seemed a bit off about you, Merlin. You had already done everything you could. [k] [communicationCharaClear] [wait communicationChara] [charaTalk depthOn] [charaTalk C] [charaFace C 1] [charaFadein C 0.1 1] @Merlin I'm glad you understand. So, Romani Archaman, what is your proposal? [k] [charaFadeout C 0.1] [charaTalk B] [communicationCharaLoop 98003003 1 5 0 5] @Dr. Roman All right, I shall give my opinion as Chaldea's operations commander. [k] @Dr. Roman Currently, there is no way to intercept Quetzalcoatl. That said, we aren't in a condition to leave her alone. [k] @Dr. Roman Which means we have to get proactive. We strike at Quetzalcoatl's home base. [k] [communicationCharaFace 3] @Dr. Roman Originally, Quetzalcoatl was a goddess that had absolutely nothing to do with Sumer. [k] [communicationCharaFace 5] @Dr. Roman So how is she demonstrating such heightened Divinity and Authority? [k] @Dr. Roman It must be because a temple dedicated to her worship was built somewhere. [k] @Dr. Roman The other day, when [%1] went to investigate Ur, there was a particularly strong magical energy response coming from the south. [k] @Dr. Roman Even in a jungle full of mana, that response was so strong you knew it was special. [k] @Dr. Roman That must be Eridu, the city that King Gilgamesh was talking about. If Quetzalcoatl is occupying that city, [k] @Dr. Roman we can assume that she has created a temple in her name there. To establish a temple, you need a symbol that represents the deity. [k] @Dr. Roman Quetzalcoatl is said to possess two treasures: the Jade Sword, Macana, and the Sun's Pilgrimage, Piedra del Sol. [k] @Dr. Roman Either of those would certainly work to establish her place of worship. So... [k] [communicationCharaClear] [wait communicationChara] [charaTalk D] [charaFace D 0] [charaFadein D 0.1 1] @Ana ...Destroy the symbol, remove the temple's power, and diminish Quetzalcoatl's Divinity. [k] [charaFadeout D 0.1] [charaTalk B] [communicationCharaLoop 98003003 1 5 0 0] @Dr. Roman Exactly, Ana. After that, if we face Quetzalcoatl, there is at least a small chance of victory. [k] @Dr. Roman And with Ishtar's help, we'd be more than a match for her. [k] [communicationCharaClear] [wait communicationChara] [charaTalk F] [charaFace F 7] [charaFadein F 0.1 1] @Ishtar Oh, you're relying on me? [k] @Ishtar I didn't want to fight other goddesses, but if it's [%1]'s request, I have no choice. [k] [charaFace F 6] @Ishtar Of course, if it was a certain useless king asking, I'd just have laughed myself silly and refused! [k] [charaFadeout F 0.1] [charaTalk G] [charaFace G 1] [charaFadein G 0.1 1] @Gilgamesh ... (Grinning) [k] [charaFadeout G 0.1] [charaTalk D] [charaFace D 0] [charaFadein D 0.1 1] @Ana ...He totally sees through her... There's no way Ishtar can win this one... [k] [charaFadeout D 0.1] [charaTalk G] [charaFace G 0] [charaFadein G 0.1 1] @Gilgamesh I guess it's settled, then. [%1], I have a new mission for you. [k] @Gilgamesh I authorize the second stage of our goddess extermination plan! Go through the jungle and head to Eridu! [k] @Gilgamesh There, defeat Quetzalcoatl, and also recover the divine tool stored in Eridu. [k] [charaFace G 2] @Gilgamesh Retrieve Marduk's axe, the weapon that killed the goddess Tiamat! [k] @Gilgamesh Two days to reach Eridu, four days round trip! [k] @Gilgamesh Hurry! As soon as you return, we'll start preparations for the battle with Gorgon!
