[They're good questions, to be fair. Unfortunately, they're also question Squall himself might like know.]

You have to understand, I've never studied it. I didn't know about it until we had to deal with it back home. I think Esthar was excavating it though, so... it might have been made by the Centra?

[Oh, dear. Not even Leonhart knows what this contraption is, but at least the youth knows a little something about it.]

The Centra? May I ask who they are?

[identity profile] knighted-lion.livejournal.com 2011-01-16 12:48 am (UTC)(link)
Who they were. Their entire civilization was destroyed 80 years ago, by the first Lunar Cry.

[Well, now, this is getting very interesting already.]

Their own creation led to the destruction of their entire civilization...!

[This doesn't bode well.]

I see, therefore as of why would anyone seek it out? This contraption may not be the most conventional war weapon, but it seems to possess a power greater than any man knows.

I don't know if they created it. Just that it might have something to do with them. As for why...

[he shrugs]

Some people care more about power than anything else.

That could be Garland's reason for seeking out such a dangerous tool, but if an civilization was annihilated by this...thing, then it's clear enough that the Lunatic Pandora is a threat to us.

[Ponder, ponder...]

Is there any way to destroy it?

[identity profile] knighted-lion.livejournal.com 2011-01-16 01:06 am (UTC)(link)
There might be? Last time we didn't try - we had bigger things to deal with at the time.

[identity profile] marquisofthesky.livejournal.com 2011-01-16 01:12 am (UTC)(link)
Understood. Maybe this time with the assistance of the entire council, we can rid the universe of this dreadful device together.

[A very ambitious scheme, but is it truly possible to destroy such a contraption? Ondore is feeling rather optimistic.]

After all, there's no need to leave Pandora's Box lingering around barely sealed.

[He nods, again.]

I'll look into the records. The first Lunar Cry wasn't that long ago, so we should have something.

[Although it's a shame he can't just... go to Esthar and talk to people about it.]

[identity profile] marquisofthesky.livejournal.com 2011-01-16 01:24 am (UTC)(link)
[A shame, indeed, but Ondore is used to working in less than ideal settings. There must be something they can find in regards of the first Lunar Cry.]

While you embark upon that endeavor, I shall personally study this device in hopes of understanding how it functions. The more we learn about the Lunatic Pandora, the better our odds could be against Garland and his minions.

If it's any help, the place it resonated with back home was called Tear's Point. I'm pretty sure it's not here, but I can get you the information on that as well, if you want?

[identity profile] marquisofthesky.livejournal.com 2011-01-16 01:35 am (UTC)(link)
Tear's Point? That certainly possesses a rather ominous ring to it.

[He sighs.]

Be sure to find some worthy information regarding that as well, commander. While the Tear's Point may not exist here on Gaia as of right now, I dread what tomorrow may bring.

[It's better than 'The Island Closest to Hell'?]

You'll have everything the Garden has. Even if I have to get into our histories to find it.

[...Ondore wouldn't like that island, I'm sure.]

Many thanks, my friend! Hopefully all of our work will pay off, and that foul device will be sunk within the nearest sea.

As long as that isn't where it resonates, I'm fine with it.

[And yes, that might just have been a flicker of a sense of humor.]

[identity profile] marquisofthesky.livejournal.com 2011-01-16 01:52 am (UTC)(link)
[Congratulations, Leonhart. You've won a chuckle from the elderly marquis.]

We'll take the necessary precautions before sinking it, I can assure you.

Until next time, Commander Leonhart.

[identity profile] knighted-lion.livejournal.com 2011-01-16 01:56 am (UTC)(link)
Yeah.

[There's one last nod, and that's it from him.]
