All right, that's over and done with. What's our next mission, boss?
Hilda: Fortunately for us, he's tending to other matters now. The theft of the mythril has likely knocked the empire off balance. I would like you to journey to Bafsk... If we're to stop the Dreadnought from being completed, this may be our only chance.
Tell us more about this Dreadnought. Again.
Hilda: We have a man in Bafsk. He's found a way to reach the Dreadnought. I want you to destroy it. At the very least, find a way to delay its completion. I have full confidence that with you and Minwu on this task, it will be accomplished.
Heading east of Poft instead of westward to Salamand... this must be the place, because that looks like a giant honkin' airship over there.
Sho nuff.
Let's talk to some people. Even the imperial guards don't try to outright murder us here.
Slave: You'll need a
pass to board the Dreadnought.
Slave: You're with the rebels, right? You'e got to destroy the Dreadnought!
Dude. Be cool.
Slave: There's a rebel spy masquerading as an imperial soldier. If you can get to him, I'm sure he'll have some important information for you.
Borghen: Back to work! Work, I say! If we finish even a day sooner, my glory will be that much greater!
Slave: They're making us work like slaves. I hate that Borghen. Being used by a man like that really makes my blood boil. It's weird, though. I can't seem to remember what things were like when the Dark Knight was in command.
You know what the worst part about being a slave is? They make you work hard without paying you or letting you go.
Not that the soldiers around here feel much better about things:
Soldier: I don't feel like working at all with that buffoon Borghen in charge. The thought of doing anything for his precious "glory" makes me sick to my stomach.
Soldier: Get back to work! I swear... no one wants to work under General Borghen.
Soldier: Is the Dark Knight ever going to get back? At this rate we're going to fall behind schedule for sure.
Soldier: General Borghen doesn't seem to be willing to deal with these peasants as he should.
Soldier: General Borghen took command of things in Bafsk a short while ago. Things have gotten much easier than they were under the Dark Knight. It's hard to believe a bumbling idiot like Borghen could become a general in the imperial army! Oops! Um, you didn't hear that.
H... hey... this might seem like it's coming from nowhere, but uh... what's your favorite flower? I'm particularly fond of chrysanthemums, and gardenias, and...
Wild Rose.
Soldier?: Aha! You're one of us! I had to be careful about what I did while the Dark Knight was here looking over my shoulder. But the "Great" General Borghen is anything but. He's just a domineering blowhard.
Great. Now about that Dreadnought...
Soldier?: So you're the ones they've sent to destroy the Dreadnought. Don't worry, I'm on your side. There's an entrace to the sewers up ahead. It's a back way leading to the Dreadnought. Be careful. If they see us talking, they may start to get suspicious, so I'm outta here. Good luck!
It's a very brief tunnel.
Dark Knight: I've been working behind the scenes to see the project through to completion. End your resistance. Kneel before your Emperor. It is the only alternative left to you. Consider what I've said. When the time comes, we will meet again.
Huh. You'd think he'd have just cut us down on the spot.
...assa no good.
