My, what a familiar essence you have! Like that of a familiar...if you're familiar with the concept?
Hippothoe
Oh, just my little joke. [Player Name], was it? I am Hippothoe.
Gealcat04288
Meeew. Mew!
Hippothoe
Yes, yes, we're getting to that. [Player Name], say “hello” to our familiar friend here. She's an ailouros.
Hippothoe
The ailouroi are one of our newest creations, highly attuned to abnormalities in their environment. At the first sign of danger, they'll sound the alarum─by which I mean “mewl loudly.”
Hippothoe
Though we do our best to observe all of our creations, Elpis is simply too large to maintain a constant vigil over each and every temperamental species. A more efficient means of detecting conflict between creatures was in order.
Hippothoe
Thus have I taken this ailouros under my wing, to further develop her capabilities in this area. And she does enjoy our little walks.
Hippothoe
This evening/This morning/Today/This evening, we are testing her ability to pinpoint sites of conflict. Would you like to observe?
Hippothoe
Simply tell her that her task is begun, and she'll do her utmost to locate disruptive creatures.
Hippothoe
Please do subdue any unruly subjects once you've found them. We can't have beasts running amok!
Hippothoe
Never fear─she is quite proficient in our language. You need only let her know to begin.
Gealcat04288
Mew?
Gealcat04288
Mew, mew!
Sytem
Follow the ailouros and try not to fall behind.
Hippothoe
My ailouroi would never lead you astray─in theory, at least.
Gealcat04288
Mrrr... Mew!!!
Sytem
The ailouros alerts you to two nearby creatures that are facing one another down, and looks at you expectantly.
Gealcat04288
Mrrrp!
Hippothoe
She seems quite content, but in the name of science─what were the results?
Hippothoe
As I expected. Well done, little one!
Hippothoe
Magnificent creatures, the both of you. It's a shame we cannot give you a pair of tiny wings and a bell too, but it's against protocol, I'm afraid.
Hippothoe
The ailouroi are enchanted with theirs at birth, so they are able to acclimate properly.
Hippothoe
I'm certain you have your own unique potential to rise to, however. In fact─why not join us for another phase of testing?
