Transcript[edit]

- Helhest goes to the bonfire and has a conversation with the White Queen.
The White Queen: Donovan has completed a full repair and restart for me. Now, I can talk freely with you.
Helhest: Was it a difficult process? It's been nearly a week since we left the Shifting Gate, after all.
The White Queen: No, I think he was simply reluctant to do it.
The White Queen: He discovered I'd infiltrated the Shifting Gate's system and edited the environmental code.
The White Queen: After that, he was a tad bit, um…upset.
Grom: …I can imagine how that went.
Helhest: Still, I'm very grateful to him for helping us.
Helhest: And at least the signal went out, right?
The White Queen: Yes.
The White Queen: With Lord Radegast's help, I've contacted all of our surviving members and given orders to rally.
The White Queen: A ship will soon arrive to take me away.
The White Queen: Then, we will find a suitable place to settle down and carry out our mission.
The White Queen: Thank you for your help, Helhest. Feel free to contact us anytime.
Helhest: My pleasure.
Helhest: But…were you truly able to let it all go? You know—facing me, a former Crow operative who took your allies' lives.
The White Queen: There are few rights and wrongs in life, Helhest. Merely choices and stances.
The White Queen: Your past self may have chosen to stand with the Crows, but now, you've chosen to stand with humanity.
The White Queen: For me, knowing this is enough.
Helhest: I still don't know why I joined the Crows back then.
Helhest: But now, standing where I am… I've worked towards this for a long, long time.
The White Queen: There is one last thing I must warn you of, Helhest.
The White Queen: Do you remember in the Shifting Gate, when I told you it was the Crows who came to assassinate me?
Helhest: …You mean it wasn't the Queen, but the Crows themselves?
The White Queen: Yes. As I understand, the Queen simply wanted to bring me back, but the Crows wanted me dead.
The White Queen: I suspect the power struggle within the Crows had already begun at this point.
The White Queen: They may be an intelligence network working under her, but they seem to have their own agenda and operate in secret.
The White Queen: This extends to the conflict between the Outreachers and the Isolationists.
The White Queen: The two sides were intentionally pushed to the extremes.
Helhest: But…what for?
The White Queen: That, I don't know.
The White Queen: None of these tendencies seem to be unknown to the Queen.
The White Queen: She must be using them all to her own advantage—very skillfully, might I add.
The White Queen: Then, when all is said and done, she will hold all of the chess pieces in the palm of her hand.
Helhest: You seem to understand the Queen very well.
Helhest: And even though you stand opposed to her, you've never doubted her stance.
The White Queen: You saw Mara Sov's face in that video, did you not?
The White Queen: You don't think we look…a tad bit similar?
Helhest: …What do you mean?
The White Queen: You chose to confide in me, so I will choose to confide in you.
The White Queen: An excellent politician never leaves themselves without choices.
The White Queen: I am one of her backup plans.
Helhest: …I think I understand.
The White Queen: I quite like your intelligence, Helhest.
The White Queen: That's why I must remind you, as an intelligence network, the Crows will not let any bit of information slip through their talons.
The White Queen: This leads them to control their operatives by any means necessary.
The White Queen: They've likely already set their eyes on you.
The White Queen: While the Queen is watching how the chess pieces fall, you must be cautious and avoid getting caught up in their conflict again.
Helhest: Thank you for the reminder. I'll be careful.
The White Queen: Now then. I've completed all missions at hand, save for one: bidding you farewell.
The White Queen: I hope we can meet again.
Helhest: I'm sure we will—when the time comes to witness a new era.
