Tartarus - Containment Facility
|
I know Phantoms come in all different kinds...
But I wonder what I would've looked like, had I gone full Phantom. |
|
Don't talk like that, Vil. |
|
Some are like jewels, and some are like beasts...
I suspect they embody the essence and ambitions of the mages who've overblotted.
And when I overblotted...
The manifestation that appeared behind me took the form of an old woman clad in long robes.
Her hair was white and disheveled, and her fingers were gnarled like branches.
Perhaps deep down, I associate youth with beauty and dread the idea of getting older.
If that's true...it's rather awful, isn't it? |
|
We have yet to experience growing old.
It's natural for people to fear what they haven't been through. You're hardly the first.
And we must not avert our eyes from the forms these Phantoms take, no matter how much they frighten us. |
|
Quite right. If nothing else, they're a healthy reminder of what we don't want to become. |
|
Hey, I see a cage with the number 854 on it. |
|
That fits the researcher's description. Let's open it. |
|
I'll open the door. Get back everyone. ...Hrah! |
Phantom |
I'M...HUNGRY... FEED ME...FLESH! |

Phantom |
SO HUNGRY... SOOO...HUNGRYYY... |
|
*blot bubbling, something drops* |
|
It dropped an ID card! |
|
We must thank our researcher friend. This would've taken far longer if not for his help. |
|
Certainly. Now let's grab him and get out of here. |
Tartarus - Emergency Stairs
Styx Staff |
Thank you all so much. You saved my life!
Are you sure you don't want to come with me?
All the Phantoms past this point are the really dangerous ones. A-rank or higher.
There's no guarantee you'll make it through unharmed. |
|
Thank you for the warning, but we'll be continuing on. |
| We can't let them reset the world. | I have to find my roommate. |
|
I simply MUST reach Idia and Ortho first so I can give them a good slap on the face.
Which means we can't let the other teams get ahead of us. We need to hurry on. |
Styx Staff |
Well...all right. Just be careful, okay? |
|
You as well. Quite a few Phantoms are thawing in the upper containment facilities. |
Styx Staff |
Hey, I've been researching Phantoms for 20 years. I'm an old hand.
I know all about their habits. I'll figure out a way through. |
|
All right. I trust we'll all give this our best efforts then. |
