Dialogue

Introduction (Asphodene)

• Yojimbo: "My eyes betrayin' me? A landwalker and a... familiar, all the way out'n deep space?"
• Asphodene: "You're one to talk! If you weren't aware, you're glowing BRIGHT BLUE. Also, I kind of take offense to the term familiar..."
• Yojimbo: "'Pologies, not tryin' to start anythin'- Anywho, never met'n a lumenkin before, eh? Now that's a sparker. Name's... uh... Yojimbo."
• Yojimbo: "Settin' aside your magical companion, I'm thinkin' you hail from somewhere nearby... Guess the Ardor ain't cleared this region fully yet."
• Yojimbo: "'ell, this'll be ash. Contracts out here are already a chore, so if you plan on gettin' in the way, it'd be makin' my job a great deal harder."
• Asphodene: "No, we weren't planning on fighting you... Actually, if you have any help you can offer, we'll take it."
• Yojimbo: "Do I seriously give off the impression that I'd be givin' you a hand? Good, because I'm feelin' mighty generous this time."
• Yojimbo: "If you're really in the business of needin' help, next time you see me I'll give you a few pointers to stayin' sharp out 'ere."
• Yojimbo: "I'm feelin' like I've just gone an' made a huge mistake. Why am I the sort to keep doin' this to myself?"

Introduction (Eridani)

• Yojimbo: "My eyes betrayin' me? A landwalker and a... familiar, all the way out'n deep space?"
• Eridani: "First off, I am NOT a familiar. Secondly, if you're what this region calls normal, this galaxy is much more exotic than I thought."
• Yojimbo: "'Pologies, not tryin' to start anythin'- Anywho, never met'n a lumenkin before, eh? Now that's a sparker. Name's... uh... Yojimbo."
• Yojimbo: "Settin' aside your magical companion, I'm thinkin' you hail from somewhere nearby... Guess the Ardor ain't cleared this region fully yet."
• Yojimbo: "'ell, this'll be ash. Contracts out here are already a chore, so if you plan on gettin' in the way, it'd be makin' my job a great deal harder."
• Eridani: "Well, I certainly wasn't gunning for a fight. On the other hand, we'll accept any offer of assistance you can provide."
• Yojimbo: "Do I seriously give off the impression that I'd be givin' you a hand? Good, because I'm feelin' mighty generous this time."
• Yojimbo: "If you're really in the business of needin' help, next time you see me I'll give you a few pointers to stayin' sharp out 'ere."
• Yojimbo: "I'm feelin' like I've just gone an' made a huge mistake. Why am I the sort to keep doin' this to myself?"

Idle 1

• Yojimbo: "Best be gettin' a clear picture of the Ardor, if you'd be interested in fixin' it. How 'bout a history lesson, eh?"
• Yojimbo: "In the beginnin' there'd just be a few rimworlds 'n the outskirts cuttin' contact- nobody batted 'n eye."
• Yojimbo: "When the southern urbworld of Corvus went dark, heads 'n the like started their turnin'. Nothin' but the talk o' the outposts for months, lemme tell ya."
• Yojimbo: "It wasn't the prettiest place 'n all, but was important 'n such to the Empire, seems like. The Ardor takin' it was big in their eyes."
• Yojimbo: "'Outposts 'n the Third Region stopped gettin' their rations, an' that'd be the end of it. Trade ships ain't stayin' w'en the breadwinners are movin' inwards."
• Yojimbo: "Followin' that, more an' more planets froze over. There'd be a time where a whole Empire fleet went with all their smart types to try and find out the happenin'."
• Yojimbo: "I try 'n stay away from the bigwigs, so I can't give any info 'bout that. Best be knowin' Empire fleets don't go places lightly 'n all. Even heard wind of a Knight comin' with em."
• Yojimbo: "All I know 'bout that is them figurin' out that the mana, y'see, ain't replenishin' like normal. Nothin' but tech is gonna be workin' at this rate- an' the Empire uses magic 'n tech both."
• Yojimbo: "That'd be leadin' the story to now. The fleet's gone an' left, an' anyone holdin' out worth their salt with 'em. I'm in the business of followin' the money, which leads me to these backwaters."
• Yojimbo: "Pay's great 'cause no one else can do it, but the beasties are big, an' help ain't comin', so I stay on my toes. That'd be about all."

Idle 2

• Yojimbo: "You'd be interested in the Empire, I'd wager. Good, 'cause I'll spare a moment for a chat."
• Yojimbo: "In terms of big ol' space empires, ours, Mare Luminis, ain't that bad- if you're human."
• Yojimbo: "They tolerate xenos and such, but you'd never find yourself safe 'n the inner system."
• Yojimbo: "Are they in the business o' snuffin' lives? Nah, but you'd be booted to a rimworld faster than a ray o' light."
• Yojimbo: "Outside the inner system, you'd best believe thing's be different. Nobody's feedin' their family without workin' with the xenos."
• Yojimbo: "Sure, the Empire's gotten themselves an ol' no-tolerance party, but patrols ain't turnin' down bribes, last time I did some checkin'."
• Yojimbo: "Their tech is is a right marvel, an' the inner system is paradise made real 'n all, but I ain't interested."
• Yojimbo: "'Course, there are xenos who ARE innta that sort, and humans sidin' with 'em, to boot. Even heard the crown prince is on their side."
• Yojimbo: "All that nonsense is deep within First Region turf, an' like I said earlier, best I'd be stayin' far away- ain't passin' for a human lookin' like this, I tell ya. Tried."
• Yojimbo: "You're human, o' course, and your flyin' princess over yonder passes for 'un, so you'd best be lookin' their way for more info- nobody'd turn you down."
• Yojimbo: "'Pologies, but that'd be all I've got on this one."

Idle 3

• Yojimbo: "You'd be wantin' a better grasp of your own galaxy? Ain't your home a bit too behind them times?"
• Yojimbo: "Guess it ain't my place to start anythin'- I do go aroun' soundin' like an' old timer... Time spent in the Third Region, innit."
• Yojimbo: "No problem. Moirae'd be probably what you'd go an' call normal- well, barrin' the Ardor."
• Yojimbo: "The Empire segments the galaxy into three Regions, ta better keep tabs 'n the galaxy. Best believe they'd be keepin' the First Region on high watch."
• Yojimbo: "We'd be in the Third Region, but nobody's headed to re-chart them stars with the Ardor in full force out here 'n all. They ain't stayin' still, thats for sure."
• Yojimbo: "Anywhos, the secon' region is a big ol' mess right now. With all them xenos movin' inwards 'cause of the cold, people simply ain't got 'nuff room- who can blame 'em."
• Yojimbo: "Nothin' major yet- and I'm no bettin' man- but there'd be no suprisin' me if a big ol' conflict sparked up soon like."
• Yojimbo: "Will the Empire barge on in is anyone's guess, I wager. They're in their own ashpile of troubles already, with the drainin' mana too. Thing's 're lookin' bleak, but it ain't my problem."
• Yojimbo: "All I gotta do is stay alive 'n kill monsters. I s'pose you'd call me one o' the lucky 'uns- mayhaps 'cause I just don't give 'nuff of a care."
