Dialogue[edit]
The party is gathered in front of Mymoma Playhouse.
Rex
Now, to get to Indol, we'll need to...
???
Rex!
The scene fades to black for a moment. When it fades in again, Zuo is now in front of Rex.
Rex
Zuo...
Listen, um...
Listen, um...
Zuo
Don't worry about us. You just carry on with your own journey.
...is what I'd like to say, but could you come back to Garfont and speak to Yew for a moment first?
There's something we need to talk to you about. Something the boss left behind.

Rex
Something from Vandham...?
Zuo
We'll give you the details once you get back to Garfont. Don't keep us waiting, yeah?
Speak with Yew[edit]
Yew
Ah, Rex. Good to see you.
Rex
Yeah, um, hi...
Yew
Don't look so down.
The boss left a message with me. To give to you, if anything ever happened to him.

Rex
A message from Vandham, for me?! You don't think...he knew he'd...?
Yew
Maybe. But if you ask me, I don't think he knew.
It's just the kind of life us mercenaries live. You never know which day might turn out to be your last.
So it's not uncommon for us to leave messages like this, just in case.

Rex
...
Yew
Now listen up, because this is important.
"Rex. I leave the Garfont Mercenaries in your hands."

Rex
...?!
Yew
...
Rex
Um... Is there anything else?
Yew
Nope. That's your lot.
Rex
What?! Leaving it to me... That's a joke, right?!
Yew
This is no joke, kid. It's Vandham through and through - he says what he means, no more, no less.
Rex
Well, I mean, I won't deny it's simple, but... Why would he ask me to...?
Yew
The boss thought a lot of you, kid. And I think you've struck a chord with the rest of us, too.
You're an honest, straightforward guy, with plenty of nerve and resolve. And...you give us all hope.

Rex
I don't think...I can really take all the credit for any of that...
Yew
Maybe not. But there's something about you, kid. Everyone feels it.
So tell me, Rex. Will you do as the boss asks?
So tell me, Rex. Will you do as the boss asks?
Take over the Garfont Mercenaries?
Yes
The dialogue continues.
No
Yew
Could you think back to Vandham's last moments?
You're the only ones who were there to witness it...
Me and Zuo have no way of knowing the details.
How d'you think he felt, at the end? What led him to sacrifice himself?
Did he believe he'd found something worth giving his life for?
I want you to think carefully about that.

Rex
...
The dialogue loops back to the choice. Rex can say "no" for a million years but the guilt trip will never end.
Rex
...All right. I'll do it!
Yew
Strong words, well said! Nothing less from the guy old Vandham staked his hopes in!
Rex
But, um... What exactly would I have to do, as the band's leader?
You said you don't have any other messages from Vandham, right?
You said you don't have any other messages from Vandham, right?
Yew
Nope. He's a man of few words.
But of course, you'll have me and Zuo to help you out.
We couldn't ask you to suddenly handle all the operations on your own.
You just dole out the big general orders for now. You can count on us to take care of the details.
And then...I guess we'll see how things go from there.

Rex
OK. I guess I can probably handle that.
Yew
Right! Then let's start by explaining how things work around here.
Our little band takes on all kinds of assignments from all across Alrest.
From escort missions and clearing out monsters, down to gathering materials, and sometimes even smaller things.
But tell me something, Rex. I get the feeling you've got more Blades than you know what to do with. Am I wrong?
If you've got Blades sitting around doing nothing, you can assign them to carry out missions as part of the band.
It'll be good experience for them, and you'll reap the rewards to boot.
Tell you what, it'll be quicker to explain if you try it out for yourself. Go ahead, choose a mission and try clearing it.

Report back to Yew[edit]
Yew
Looks like you completed the mission. Good work, Rex.
As you complete missions, it'll build our band's reputation. The higher our reputation, the more missions we'll get!
And it'll also let you manage more Blades at a time.

Rex
Sounds like a good thing all round.
This time you set up a mission for me, but how should I find more in future?

Rex
Ah, right. I'll have to remember that.
Yew
Oh yeah, I have one more piece of advice for you.
Different missions have different requirements, and each Blade has strengths and weaknesses too.
If you pay attention to the makeup of your squad, you might be able to get the job done quicker.

Rex
Think about everyone's strengths and weaknesses to get missions done efficiently...got it.
Yew
Sounds like you're getting the idea.
For now, just try to complete as many missions as you can. Once you're used to that, we'll see what else you can do.
I'll be wanting to give you a test, so drop by Garfont once in a while!

Rex
I have to take tests, even though I'm the leader...?
Yew
Oh, and remember - whenever you have Blades going spare, don't hesitate to assign them to a bunch of missions.
We aren't going to run out of missions any time soon. The world is full of folk who need a little mercenary help.

Rex
Helping people in need... So this is what Vandham devoted his life to.
I'll have to work hard to make this a mercenary band he'd be proud of.

Yew
That's the spirit, Rex. We're all counting on you, so keep it up!
