The Lunatic Pandora | Text | Filtered from Garland, Kuja & Lufene]

[En route to the Muruc Cahuac Sky Sea, Marquis Ondore makes a message for all adventurers and thrill-seekers alike who are seeking for an opportunity to make some gil. Not much is known regarding the ominous structure that sails over Madain Sari, but Ondore hopes to change that fact very soon.]

Greetings to all friends and acquaintances alike, I am Marquis Halim Ondore IV of the Muruc Cahuac, and I am seeking a few able-bodied volunteers for a perilous mission that will certainly change the tides of this awful war against Garland and his fiends. Those willing to lend me their aid in this endeavor shall be paid handsomely in the form of gil. I'm asking for the bravest and most adept men and women to explore the depths of the Lunatic Pandora, the vessel that sails over the Lost Continent. The reason for this expedition is a simple one; we need to gather intelligence regarding what the Lunatic Pandora is, and why it has been summoned here to Gaia. For those who do volunteer, be sure to pack the necessary supplies. Many fiends could be lurking upon that vessel, therefore it's best to take precaution. If you wish to join this endeavor, please state your name and location. The Gilgamesh shall pick up all willing participants.| [ooc: Any questions regarding this mission, be sure to either PM me or IM me on AIM, got it? Good! I give my thanks to the Squall-mun for hatching this plot idea after the Heads of State meeting here]

Lunatic Pandora? I've been there before.

You have? Then is it safe for me to assume you hail from the same realm as this...vessel?

Mhmm! It's from my home, Sir. Have you spoken to Squall at all?

Commander Leonhart, correct? Indeed, I have! I spoke to him briefly about the Lunatic Pandora, but unfortunately he doesn't know much regarding this vessel.

Is it true that the first Lunar Cry wiped out an entire civilization?

That's my boss! I don't know a whole lot about it either.

...There's a library here, right? Couldn't we find information on Lunatic Pandora there?

He's your boss?

[If that's true, then this girl is a SeeD cadet? Ondore finds that a tad unbelievable.]

What library are you referring too, miss?

Runs the Garden, hands out the missions to the SeeDs.

[She's more than a Cadet, Ondore.]

The Library of the Ancients. Check your map!

[Is she? He's pleasantly surprised! He hadn't expected a SeeD to be so young, but then again Squall Leonhart is quite young as well and he's the commander.]

The Library of the Ancients? Oh, yes! I've heard of that location before, but never once did I visit there. Perhaps now is the time to rectify that.

[Most SeeDs are young. The cadets are even younger.]

That's the place! Sir Laguna might know something about Lunatic Pandora if he were here.

[Sending mere children into war, what is the world coming to?]

I once knew Sir Loire personally, but never once did I think he would know of such a dreadful contraption. Loire is the President of Esthar, isn't he? His countrymen are the ones who allegedly evacuated the Lunatic Pandora during the Reign of the Sorceress, so says Leonhart.

[She's almost an adult!]

That's right! It also did a Lunar Cry back home and there were monsters everywhere in Esthar. Let's just hope that Adel's not in there. She's super mega bad news!

Yes, yes. I believe Commander Leonhart spoke of that event briefly during the meeting earlier today. However, who is Adel?

Super duper mega bad news is what Adel is.

More so than Ultimecia?

Might as well be.

I am willing to assist the journey. My name is Auron and I find myself in Luca.

Ah, good! You're the first volunteer to lend their service. Be sure to stock up well for the journey, Auron.

Sure, I guess. Count me in. Bartz Klauser, I'll be in Dali soon.

Uncertainty shall only be a hindrance in our mission, Klauzer. Be certain that you can embark upon such a journey.

Sure, I'm sure, then. I can do it.

Excellent! The Gilgamesh shall make way to Dali, be prepared.

[Ondore blinked once, then twice once he saw the name. Sephiroth, you're a very famous man here on Gaia; both a hero and a villain to some. What shall the marquis do with you? Let's watch and see.]

Sephiroth, First-Class SOLDIER of the ShinRa Organization, correct?|

[Another one who "knows" him. Lovely.]

[Be at ease, soldier! This is perhaps the friendliest fellow you'll ever meet.]

Oh, good! I'm glad to see you've returned at last!|

[Forgive him, sir, if he doesn't hold his breath.]

[Touché!]

Indeed, I am. We've spoken before on many occasions, but I have no doubt that such meetings has been forgotten.|

[He's not even going to stress the point that he has never been here before. It's a freaking waste of time and calories.]

[It's best that Sephiroth doesn't lose his sanity too soon. So perhaps that tactic shall do him some good.]

Correct. I have no intentions of relying my safety upon some dew-eyed adventurer sporting a blade or two. Seasoned soldiers and warriors alike are necessary for this mission for we're exploring what may be the heart of evil. The Lunatic Pandora is a device like none other; an altar of some sort that can herald this world's end.

As valiant as ever, Sephiroth. You're an welcomed addition to this party. I shall meet with you in Dali soon enough. Keep your eyes keen for the Gilgamesh.

[As if he has the first clue what the Gilgamesh looks like or even is, but the General's pretty sure he'll know it when he sees it.]

[ooc: I saw! Trying to figure out how to get Seph in it, at present.]

Rishfee. Figaro. ...Shortly.
I will assist. But tell me; how long has the Lunatic Pandora been known to you?

The Lunatic Pandora has been known to the High Council for many months now, since last year to be exact. Although, any expeditions planned to the site have been canceled due to various reasons. I hope to gain insight regarding what this structure is before any further decisions and discussions are made.|

What's the Lunatic Pandora got to do with Garland? Can't you guys just leave it alone?

Miss Heartily, you must understand! If we allow this possible threat to linger about, then I'm more than certain that Garland shall use it against us. Would it not be for the best to do away with it while are still able to do so? Think of this as a preemptive strike on our part.|

You want to get rid of it? Sink it into the sea. That's what was done before.

[There's a noticeable pause between his responses now. It seems that bit of news didn't reach Ondore ears until now.]

Others have tried as well? I assume this took place within your realm.

Yeah, it did. That stopped it from being used, at least until it got dug up again.
