The following is the script of dialogue used in the Blade Quest All's Fair.

Talking to Genedd

Genedd

Ugh... Not my lucky day.

Rex

What's wrong?

Genedd

Oh, nothing much. Only managed to sink my bloody ship!
My crew are safe and sound, but my cargo? Probably lying at the bottom of the Cloud Sea by now.
Now I'm up a creek without a paddle...

Pyra

That's awful...

Azami arrives.

Azami

This ship of yours... It was carrying Gormotti cargo, am I right?

Genedd

You...you're the witch!
Some of my crew said they saw a witch in the distance as the ship was sinking, but I never thought...
Oh no...
Screw the plan! I'm gettin' outta here!

Genedd flees.

Azami

Ah, wait...!

Mòrag

A speedy fellow, isn't he?

Dromarch

What was all that about?

Azami

Running away at the sight of someone's face. How rude.

Mòrag

Azami, you seem to know about this sunken ship business. Could you enlighten us?

Azami

But of course. It was all a part of my recon mission.

Mòrag

So you would also know the reason why it sank?

Azami

Ahaha, naturally! Because I was the one who sank it!

Rex

You sank it?! But why?

Azami

Oh, come on, it's not such a big deal.
They were behaving so openly suspicious. Clearly shipping cargo of a dubious nature.
Sinking their ship seemed the sensible course of action. It put an end to their mischief and lightened my workload.

Mòrag

Even so, that seems to be going a little overboard...

Azami

I was lonely! Can you blame me?

Rex

Lonely? You sunk their ship because you were lonely?!

Azami

Now don't give me that. You know I'm just dying to be with my beloved Driver...
Can't you try to see things from my perspective?
Besides, I never wanted to be doing recon in the first place...
There should have been someone to keep me company!
I get lonely very easily, you know...

Rex

Still...

Pyra

Actually, I can sort of see where she is coming from...
Maybe we could accompany her on her mission?

Azami

Oh? My darling Driver will join me?
Then I'll be a good girl from now on. I'll do as I'm told.

Rex

Mòrag? What do you want to do?

Mòrag

Hmm. Well, I'd rather this than have her running out of control.

Azami

So you'll join me?! Oh, this is perfect!
All right, I'll get straight back to surveillance duty.
Off we go to the Great Blowhole!

Let's Be Together

Azami

All of you, come on! We haven't got all day to spend on this.

Tora

Azami seem very excited for such simple mission.

Nia

Nah, I'm sure she's just glad to have all her friends on board.

Pyra

I think so too.
Everything is more fun when you can do it with those you care about, right?

Rex looks at the scenery.

Rex

Still, you did the surveillance from here?

Azami

Yes, that's right. There couldn't be a better place for it.

Nia

But there's practically nothing around here. Seems like an odd choice?

Azami

Haha... Just watch. I'll survey the area now.

Azami's left eye begins to emit a bright pink light.
Azami sees men picking plants. Afterward, she sees a hut.

Azami

Two men over in this direction, picking flowers.
Working with an almost tireless determination.
And there's another. Some kind of scientist. He's holed up in his room.

Tora

Azami see that far away?!
That crazy talk!
Even with telescope lens of Poppi, Tora still not see that far!

Nia

You've been using your powers to track those three guys this whole time?

Azami

Four guys.

Rex

Four?

Azami

Yes. Originally, I had my eye on four suspicious individuals.
But one of them recently, shall we say, saw reason...and now there are three.

Mòrag

What exactly is it that they're doing?

Azami

It's difficult to tell, just watching from afar.
All I can say right now is that they're making some substance from the flowers and then shipping it out of the country.

Rex

Hmm... I wonder what they're trying to do...

Mòrag

You can't identify the genus of flower?

Azami

Sorry, I'm afraid I couldn't tell you. I don't know much about botany.

Mòrag

All right.

Azami

Hey... Why don't we go up and ask them ourselves?

Nia

What, all three of them?

Azami

Yes, all three. If we put the squeeze on them...
I'm sure they'll be happy to tell us what flowers they're picking and why.

Rex

Hmm, not sure about this...

Azami

I've grown so tired of all this watching and waiting.
I wanna finally have some fun with my cutie-pie Driver, haha. Come on, let's go introduce ourselves.

Go to the land adjacent to Coralline Sanctum

Nia

Uh, excuse me... Can we ask you something?

Vanny

...

Nia

Hellooo?

Dromarch

Would you mind telling us why you are so intent on picking all these flowers?

Jaggra

What's it to you? Are you tired of life or something?

The both of them get ready to fight.

Dromarch

I don't believe they intend on being entirely open with us.

Nia

Heh. Looks like we'll just have to beat it outta them, won't we?

Defeat the mercenaries attacking you

Jaggra and Vanny are cornered by the party.

Azami

Now then, care to tell us what the deal is with these flowers you've been picking?

Vanny

...Hmph.

Azami

Giving the silent treatment, are we? You must really enjoyr pain.

Mòrag

Leave him be, Azami. He won't talk.

Azami

Then what would you propose?

Mòrag

What about those wooden crates? Let's have a look in there.
That's where they seem to have been putting all the flowers...
We may find out what's going on here if we examine the flowers themselves.

Investigate the boxes

Dialogue depends on which Driver is in the lead.

Rex

Now then, what's in these boxes...?

Field Skill succeeded.

Rex

These are poisonous, aren't they?

Nia

OK, boxes, spill your secrets...

Field Skill succeeded.

Nia

Uh, aren't these poisonous?

Tora

Meh-meh... What inside of boxes...?

Field Skill succeeded.

Tora

Meh-meh! These flowers poisonous!

Mòrag

Now then, what's inside the boxes...?

Field Skill succeeded.

Mòrag

These flowers are native to Uraya.
And this particular species contains a deadly poison.

Zeke

Right, let's see what in these boxes...

Field Skill succeeded.

Zeke

These flowers... They could be deadly if used the correct way...

Azami

Thanazalea. A flowering shrub that produces a deadly towin.
What were you planning to do with these?

Vanny

Hmph. Hell if I know.

Azami

Oh, is that so? Then you won't mind if I shove some of these down your gullet the, will you?

Vanny

...Really, lady, I don't know.

Jaggra

We haven't been told the details. All we were asked to do it top pick these flowers.

Vanny

If you wanna know more, you'd have to ask the other guy.

Azami

The other guy? You mean the man on the outskirts of Fonsa Myma hiding away in his little hut?

Jaggra

Wha- how'd you know that?

Azami

I'm always watching, dear. You can't hide your wicked little scheme from me.

Vanny

...

Jaggra

...She some sort of witch?

Azami

Hahaha... I'll take that as a compliment.
We have no more need of these two. It's time we paid the recluse at Blossomshade Cliff a visit...

Go to the hut

Rex

It's really quiet. Maybe no one's home?

Azami

No, they're there all right.
And they've been there the whole time I was monitoring.

Tora

What the plan? We charge in, take bad man by surprise?
Smash door wide open with special missile attack from Poppi?

Rex

Whoa whoa, hold on! We don't want to go and blow the place sky high!

Poppi α

No missiles? Aww. Poppi was looking forward to big explosive entrance...

Azami

As I recall, there should be a Nopon cleaning lady on duty. She'll know what's going on inside.

Rex

So it's just a matter of asking this Nopon cleaner then. Great, let's go and find her!

Azami

She only comes out early in the morning. That will be our chance to get a hold of her.

Tora

Wow. Azami know everything. Maybe too much everything...

Azami

Oh, there's plenty of things I don't know. I only learn by watching from the shadows...

Speak to the Nopon servant

Party member: Info 1

Tolulu

Mm? Friends asking Tolulu about tenant's research?

Party member: Yes

Tolulu

T-terrible sorries, but Tolulu only deal with day-to-daycare of property. Not know about business of tenant.
Tolulu not know single thing, so would appreciate if friends could leave now!

Field Skill Check failed.

Tolulu

Tolulu hired to clean property, not rat on tenants!
Tolulu not tell anything, not long as Tolulu paid to do job!

Field Skill Check succeeded.

Tolulu

Meh-meh?! Tolulu feeling immense weight of Noponic disapproval...
...
OK, Tolulu spill beans. But friends promise not to tell! Promise?

Party member: No problem

Tolulu

Tolulu employed by botanist name of Packle.
He always shut away inside. Only ever opens door for Tolulu.
Needs special knock to get in. Need to knock on door 16 times. It get sore on Tolulu's wings. Friends maybe try that?

Party member: Silence

Tolulu

Remember, not word came from Tolulu's mouth!

Party member: Thanks

Knock on the door

Azami

16 times, was it?
I was watching very closely, but I must have overlooked that part.

Mòrag

You can't be expected to keep watch every hour of the day. Even the greatest of Blades make mistakes.

Azami

You're right. Thank you.
All right. Opportunity knocks...

The scene fades to black.

Azami

*knock knock knock knock knock knock knock knock knock knock knock knock knock knock knock knock...*
Whew. The Nopon was right. That was a little tiring on the arms...

The scene fades in again. Packle is now outside, in front of his door.

Mòrag

Packle, I presume?

Packle

Yes, that is my name. And you are...?

Mòrag

We couldn't help but notice you've been gathering large quantities of Thanazalea. Care to tell us why?

Packle

Thanazalea?! I-I don't know what you're talking about...

Azami

Oh really...
You were extracting their toxins to make poison, weren't you? And quite a potent poison at that...

Packle

What...? How did you...

Azami

There's nothing that slips past me, my dear.
I don't suppose you know, but the vessel carrying your shipments sailed its final voyage a short while ago...
Oh, and you should probably know that your two hired hands won't be picking any more flowers either.
Oh, my. You're all alone with no one left to help you. You poor soul.
I'm going to ask you nicely. Give it up and tell us what you've been trying to do here.

Packle

I...I'll never tell! Never!

Azami

I would really advise you to co-operate with us here. For your own good.
My Clairvoyant Eye sees all. So don't try any funny business, because it's not going to work.

Packle

Ugh...

Azami

The game's up. Why don't you just come clean? You'll feel a whole lot better, trust me.

Packle

...I was contracted. By a man from Gormott.
The poison I've been making... Thanatitan... I was meant to send it by boat to my contractor, overseas.
Normally, we'd have been able to do it in two shipments.
But the previous ship sank before it reached its destination, and the poison along with it.

Mòrag

That would be the ship that Azami sank...

Packle

So...we made another batch. Of Thanatitan.

Azami

Which was on the ship we boarded...

Mòrag

What are you planning to do with such a huge quantity of poison?

Packle

The clue's in the name. Thanatitan induces a paralytic effect on a Titan's nervous system, debilitating it.

Mòrag

What?!

Packle

My contractor is trying to inject the Thanatitan directly into the body of a Titan to make it weaker.

Azami

I'm guessing they can still carry out their plan using the first shipment?

Packle

They can. The first shipment arrived safely at the destination.

Azami

What destination?

Packle

I'm afraid I can't tell you.
It was my job to load up the ship with the stuff. They didn't tell me where it was going.

Azami

...Clever.

Mòrag

So we're at a loose end now. This is worrying...

Near, Far...

Azami

A loose end? Just who do you think I am, sweetie?

Nia

Wait, you know where they're taking the Thanatitan?

Azami

I'm hurt. It seems you were really doubting I could get the job done. It breaks my heart.

Rex

No no, we weren't really doubting you...

Azami

Hahaha... Just teasing.
I'm always willing to go the extra mile for my darling Driver...

Mòrag

Ah. She can use her Clairvoyant Eye.

Azami

Just give me a moment.

Azami's left eye begins to emit a bright pink light.
Azami sees three mercenaries next to a machine in a pool of ether.

Rex

How was it? Did you see anything?

Azami

There was some sort of giant ether mine, and men doing some sort of work.
And there was a large contraption. I'd never seen one like it before...
The Thanatitan was right next to it. I saw Gormotti men too, a stone's throw away.

Nia

An ether mine?

Tora

Is there even place like that in Uraya?

Azami

It was in Mor Ardain.

Rex

You can see that far?!

Azami

Haha. Of course.
With my eye, no matter how far apart we may be...
I can watch my sweetie-pie Driver, wherever they are, and whenever I like.

Nia

Gross.

Mòrag

Ahem - we're looking for an Ardainian ether mine, you say.

Azami

Exactly.

Rex

I wonder what the contraption could be?

Tora

Must be big thing, like Rosa!

Rex

But...if that's true, then where does the Thanatitan come into all this?

Mòrag

If we assume that they're to be using the Thanatitan in the ether mine...

Tora

Then, contraption used to carry Thanatitan...?

Mòrag

The flow of ether acts much like our own blood, in that it circulates around the Titans' bodies.
If they use the Thanatitan there, they'll be able to accelerate the Mor Ardainian Titan's degradation!

Rex

Then we've no time to lose!
If they get away with their scheme, Mor Ardain's gonna be in big trouble!

Mòrag

Agreed. Let's make haste to Mor Ardain and apprehend the culprits at once!

Azami looks at Poppi α.

Azami

Hahaha... I do enjoy the thrill of the chase!

Go to the deep levels of the Ether Mine

Rex

That must be the device carrying the Thanatitan!
It's a lot bigger than I imagined...

Azami

And it seems it's already running...

Mòrag

We must find the one responsible and get them to stop it at once!

Azami

The Gormotti man is close, on the far side of this floor.

Then we'd better move!

Meet the mercenary

Azami

Stop right there, thank you very much!

Rex

Turn that thing off, right this second!

The mercenaries prepare to fight.

Gillick

Pfft! Yeah, right! I'd like to see you try!

Defeat the mercenaries who attacked you

Azami

Now, you will tell us how to stop this thing, won't you?

Gillick

Ahahaha! You idiots! There ain't a snowball's chance I'll ever tell you!
And anyway, it's already been set in motion. Ain't no one gonna stop it now!

Azami

Oh I see. Then we'll just have to publicize your deeds to the world, won't we?

Gillick

What...?

Azami

Transportation of illegal substances through black market avenues, bribery, coercion...
And I'm sure you used all sorts of underhanded methods besides to get your way.

Gillick

Uh, hold on...

Azami

Or, I know! Why don't you take a little swig of Thanatitan? Just a little sip.
I'm sure you're very well acquainted with its effects.

Gillick

No, don't! You wouldn't! S-stop!

Azami

You want me to stop? But you've made so very much of it...
It simply won't do unless you try a sample for yourself...

Gillick

Please! Stooooop!!!

Azami

Then how do we stop it?

Gillick

...

Azami

All right then, down the hatch!

Gillick

Y-you have to operate the switches in a specific order! Blue, white, blue!

Azami

...Blue, white, blue, you say?

Gillick

That's right! That's what you wanted, isn't it? So please, let me go! Please!

Azami

You're sure? You wouldn't lie to you dear auntie Azami, would you?

Gillick

N-n-n-no, I would n-n-never...

Nia

Wow, Azami. You really know how to freak 'em out.

Tora

Azami smile like smile of demon... Tora shaking in boots!
Now Tora know never to get on wrong side of Azami!

Azami

Well, now we know how to stop this thing. It's time to put this business to rest!

Nia

Yeah!

Tora

Right! Mehmeh!

Put a stop to the huge machine

Azami

You heard how to stop it, yes? I'll leave that to you.

If the order was gotten wrong.

Azami

Hold it!
That was the wrong switch! Never mind. I'll do it!
It went blue, white, blue.
How about now?

Nia

It's not showing any sign of stopping...
So he tricked us? Even after all those threats?!

Azami

Well played. Well played, indeed.

Tora

This not time to be impressed! W-w-what we do now? We out of options!

Azami

Hmm...
Well we don't have time to get that man to tell us the right answer...
That does put us in a sticky situation...
Quickly, to the Mine Elevator. I have an idea...
Hah hah hah...

Fallen For Me Yet?

Azami

Ahaha... Yes, here should work nicely.
Mind stepping back a little, sweeties?

Rex

Azami? What are you planning to do?

Tora

Tora confused. Is really possible to stop contraption from here?

Azami

It'll be fine.
I'm just going to do the very same thing that I did to sink that ship.

Nia

You mean...

Azami

Be sure to watch closely... My darling little Drivercheeks.

Azami summons her Ether Cannon and takes aim.
Her Clairvoyant Eye activates and she shoots at the contraption, destroying it.

Azami

Ahh, what fun!

Azami turns around to face the party.

Azami

Well? Have you fallen for me yet?

Conclusion

Azami

And that about wraps that up.

Rex

Does it, though? The bad guys got away. What if they end up trying to do the same thing again?

Nia

I dunno about that. The bad guys got away. What's to say they won't try and pull the same thing again?

Mòrag

For the time being, perhaps. But with the perpetrators still at large, there's no telling what they might do now...

Zeke

Yeah, for now maybe. But the bad guys got away. What if they end up trying to pull another stunt like this?

Azami

Oh, I don't think you'll have to worry about that.
That machine was a rare salvager find. I doubt they'll ever be able to recreate anything like it.
And once they arrest the scientist who was processing the Thanatitan, they won't be able to make any more.
Which means that this will be the first and last time they ever try to inject the stuff into the Titan.

Rex

Let's hope so...
Anyway, I have to hand it to you, Azami. You did a bang-up job.

Nia

Right... I guess we're good, then.<br/Anyway, nice work there, Azami. I'm impressed.

Mòrag

I do hope that's true...
In any case, it seems our mission is accomplished. You've done well, Azami.

Zeke

Fingers crossed it's all over then...
Anyhow, looks like our work here's done. Bloody good work, Azami!

Azami

What, that's all the thanks I get? Come on now, I deserve a little more credit than that...

Rex

Uh, I thought I was thanking you...?

Nia

Huh? I thought I was being pretty grateful to you...

Mòrag

Not satisfied? I had intended to praise your efforts...

Zeke

What, you want more praise than that? What more do you want?

Azami

After everything I've done, the least you could do is ask me out on a date...
Well, at least I got to spend time with my darling Driver, so I can't complain, I suppose. I'll forgive you.
I had hoped the mission would last a little longer so I could spend more time with you...
I really wanted to keep you all to myself... Oh well.

Azami's Driver

...

Azami

As for that man who tricked us... Does he really think he can lie to me and get away with it...?
If he thinks he can escape me, he's sorely mistaken. I'll find him, and I'll make him pay.
Let's see... A thousand lashes should suffice.
Heh heh heh...
