Dialogue[edit]
Head for Colony 4 Council Room[edit]
Maxie, Bolearis, Dinzel, Oleshandra and Solon enter the Council Room to meet with the party.
Solon
Oh, phew, you made it back OK.
Noah
Bolearis gave us a heads up.
Oleshandra
We heard what happened. So Ethel's...
Noah
...
Maxie
...Your expression says it all.
She bet her life on the fight. And...she's gone.
She bet her life on the fight. And...she's gone.
Bolearis
...Ngh!
Oleshandra
Oh, Ethel...
Dinzel
She was always charging off on her own... Spark it!
Maxie
OK, enough blathering. We need to decide where we go from here.
Oleshandra
...Yeah, you're right. So now what, Bolearis?
Bolearis
...
Solon
Bolearis? Hello?
Bolearis
...Mm?
Dinzel
No, not "mm"! We need a plan!
Bolearis
Oh, right...
...I'm sorry, I just, I need some time to think.
...I'm sorry, I just, I need some time to think.
Dinzel
Excuse-? Hey, Bolearis!
Bolearis leaves the Council Room.
Oleshandra
...He's taking it pretty badly. As you'd expect.
Maxie
But the smoothest course is for the lieutenant to step up as commander.
If things fall apart here then that's going to endanger Colony 4's survival.

Dinzel
Yeah, but he's not up to it. Nothing we can do.
Solon
...We need Ethel now more than ever.
Noah
Bolearis...
Talk with Bolearis[edit]
Bolearis
...The commander would come here often when she needed to think.
She told me her favorite thing in the world was the view of Colony 4 she got from here.
We vowed to follow her to the ends of the world. That's the kind of person she was.
Ethel will always be our commander. I can't imagine anything else.

Noah
I'm sorry, Bolearis. I don't know what to say.
Bolearis
...Sorry. Guess I must look pretty pathetic to you right now.
Say... Do you reckon you could do something for me?
Say... Do you reckon you could do something for me?
Noah
Yeah, of course, anything.
Bolearis
Can you take me to where the commander had her last battle?
Noah
Bolearis, that's...
...Yeah, we can take you.
...Yeah, we can take you.
Head for Engardo Pass[edit]
Bolearis
That's Ethel's Ferronis...!
Eunie
Hold up a minute... Who's that lot over there?
Lanz
What are those Tirkins up to?
Sena
Are they taking over the Ferronis...?
Bolearis
Wh-what?!
Bolearis rushes toward the Tirkins.
Noah
Bolearis, wait!
Bolearis summons his Blade.
Bolearis
Get away from that Ferronis!
How dare you defile Commander Ethel's resting place! I'll tear you all to pieces!

Defeat the Ferronis-Dwellers[edit]
Bolearis
(pant pant) Learned your lesson now?! You feathered menaces!
Lanz
Simmer down, Bolearis! If we lose you too...
Bolearis
...Just tell me one thing.
How did the commander die?
How did the commander die?
Noah
...She fought with everything she had to settle things with Cammuravi.
Not even Moebius stealing her flame could shake her will.
She was so noble... I felt like I was looking at the sun, she was so glorious.

Bolearis
...I see. Thanks for telling me.
She fought, true to herself, to the bitter end...
Well, then I guess I have my own fight to fight.
I have to defend her legacy...!

Noah
Let's get back to the colony, Bolearis.
Everyone's waiting for you.
Everyone's waiting for you.
Head for Colony 4 Council Room[edit]
Bolearis
Hey, it's me. Call the squad captains to the council room. It's time to resume the meeting.
Noah
You've got this.
Bolearis
Will you join us? You don't have to do anything, just observe.
Noah
...Yeah, sure.
Dinzel
First you run off, and then you resume the meeting like nothing happened. What are you playing at, Bolearis?
Maxie
...
Bolearis
I'm sorry, everyone. I'll explain everything later.
But before that, there's something I've got to say to you.
But before that, there's something I've got to say to you.
Solon
Then you'd better come out and say it.
Bolearis
OK, then, listen up! I, Bolearis, hereby...
Bolearis
...resign my seat as lieutenant, and take on the role of acting commander.
Maxie
...What?
Dinzel
What?! You can't just-! ...Wait a second. What did you say?
Oleshandra
What do you mean, "acting"...?
Bolearis
Maybe I can explain if you'll shut up for a minute. Look, I'm not cut out to be commander.
Solon
You said it, not us...
Bolearis
She's the only commander we'll ever have. I know you probably think so. And spark it, I agree.
But Colony 4 won't last much longer like this.
We cannot lose the colony Commander Ethel left in our hands.
So I'm stepping up in her place to lead this colony!

Oleshandra
We certainly need someone who can command us all, but...
Dinzel
And what's with this "acting" idiocy? It's not the magnificent announcement you seem to think it is. You're joking, right?
Bolearis
Sorry, Dinzel, but I'm deadly serious. I know some think I'm not suited to the role, but I can't hand it over to anyone.
Maxie
...I don't see a problem with it.
Solon
I didn't think you'd be on board with this, Maxie.
Maxie
Ethel had an energy that we lack.
And that energy is what let us get to Silver in three terms.
I can feel something similar from Bolearis now.
I think it's a good direction to go in.

Dinzel
Looks like our maverick loose cannon has mellowed out.
Maxie
I learned that you have to change if you're going to survive. You have to learn to accept anything.
Solon
We need to bring our colony back to the top. That's what you're saying, isn't it, Maxie?
Dinzel
...Well, I suppose this way is better than some interminable yawnfest to decide her successor.
Oleshandra
Decisiveness was always one of Ethel's...Colony 4's...precepts.
Dinzel
Well, now that you've declared yourself, I hope you'll be up for the job, Acting Commander.
Bolearis
You mean...?
Solon
Now that we're all agreed, you'd better start ordering us around, Acting Commander.
Bolearis
Yeah... Yeah! I'll take care of everything.
Trivia[edit]
- The Italian title of this quest is the only version that doesn't have Bolearis' name and has a completely different title.
