Dialogue

Saira Dialogue
I know we're running out of time,
and I hate to say this,
but the Capital Defense Force cannot send any support right now,
due to the invasion attempts by the outlaws of Muiquun.
However, I believe there is a way to prevail.
We can strike the Nagas before they are ready.
We will not be able to annihilate them,
but we can at least significantly delay their plan.
Saira Dialogue (Alt)
Nagas are known for being hostile,
but hostile against non-Fogans? That's strange...
Barhan Nesser Completion
Thank you. That should significantly delay
the Nagas' plan.
