Oath to the Dawn Event/Divinity Refuted
In an effort to free Sotieth, Alk and co. prepare to face the Titan's core.
Sotieth: Activating Alter Device.
Sotieth: Activating Alter Device! Activate!
Sotieth: Activation functions are disabled... All my powers are limited.
Sotieth: If I am the key that provides access to this device's functions, then...
Sotieth: Removing myself from the equation should deactivate it.
Rashid: Sotieth!
Sotieth: Rashid!
Rashid: Don't worry about me...
Rashid: I'm glad to see nothing's hurt you!
Sotieth: What are you doing here? What about your wound?
Rashid: I came to save you... and right my wrongs.
Sotieth: You...
Nimbus: Sotieth, you got any idea how to stop this gigantic thingamajig?
Sotieth: It should stop if I am removed from the pedestal and the link between us is severed. However...
Rashid: Easy enough! We just have to break through the barrier!
The Voices: Threat detected. Eliminating threat.
Rashid: Is this another Alter Device?!
Sotieth: That is the core of the Titan!
The Voices: Mortals created us. Called us gods. Prayed to us.
The Voices: We are the chosen proxy- those who have been entrusted with their will. We shall crush the stars.
The Voices: Your efforts to stop us are futile.
Haridal: What... is it going on about?
Sotieth: I understand its words partially, as I am currently linked to it.
Sotieth: It speaks of the distant past, when mortals once desired the power to fight against the godlike beings that watched over them from above.
Sotieth: But mortals, despite their defiance, still wished for divine beings to believe in.
Sotieth: This Titan was created to be their false idol... A divine weapon used to crush their foes...
Sotieth: ...I shall put a stop to it.
Haridal: By killing yourself?
Rashid: N-no! Why would you even consider...
Sotieth: There are no other options.
Rashid: Absolutely not! I don't care how hopeless things look, that is the one thing you're not allowed to do!
Haridal: Rashid. Nothing is borne without sacrifice.
Haridal: People can't be saved through sympathy and compassion alone.
Rashid: I know that better than anyone... Especially after all the mistakes I've made!
Rashid: But even still...
Rashid: Graaaagh!
Sotieth: Rashid, do not do this!
Rashid: I refuse... to roll over and accept that sacrifices are unavoidable!
Nimbus: Oh, no you don't!
Sonia: Sotieth, listen to him!
Rashid: You really expect me to sacrifice one to save many?
Rashid: Everyone is precious to me!
Rashid: So I'll keep searching for a way to save everyone! I'll never, ever...
Rashid: Give up on a life, no matter what the world throws at me!
Haridal: You're so... naive...
Haridal: But it was exactly that naivety that helped me dream of a better tomorrow!
Sotieth: Rashid, you...
Sotieth: Very well. I understand. I will not give up either!
Sotieth: I shall follow the flow of power within the Titan and attempt to locate an escape!
The Voices: Surrender. We shall be the answer to the prayers of the weak.
The Voices: We are the chosen proxy. We shall crush the stars.
Haridal: Maybe the answer is simpler than we thought. Let's see if we can cut this thing down.
Rashid: Sounds good to me.
Rashid: Do your worst, god or whatever you are... I won't let you have Sotieth!
