Dimensional Crystal of Collective Thought Giga Crystal

You have your doubts about the whole thing, but

you extend your hand towards the crystal. Just then, you hear a strange voice in your head call out.

"We are the collective essence of all the Dimensional Crystals that still exist. Come and stand before us, newcomer."

"What are your motives? Why have you come to this place?"

The voice reverberates through your head and sounds almost hostile, then disappears in an instant.

You tell the giant crystal that you're here looking for your lost partner, and that Zindel is looking for his lost history.

"Your words do not describe your true motives."

"But at this moment, it matters not. Those disciples are planning to use our power to bring destruction."

"Now, be gone. Do some good with your newfound knowledge."

"Interesting. It seems you speak the truth. In any case, your ability to repel the Disciples of Carso shows that you're powerful."

"I now believe what you say."

Confused, you continue to watch the Dimensional Crystal.

"Listen well, young one. We may reside within a Dimensional Crystal, but the power we contain is unique."

"Zindel told you that Drifters turn into Dimensional Crystals after death. We are the collected essence of past Drifters."

"We were once the same size as any other Dimensional Crystal. As our compatriots died,"

"Their thoughts and essence coalesced into the massive crystal you see before you."

"We can feel the presence of the Disciples of Carso. They seem to be focused on invading Saphael."

"Defeat them and secure the future of our world."

"You've done well. We can sense the Drifters wandering through the world."

"If we do nothing, they will begin revolutions across the land, threatening humanity itself."

"War and death would come swiftly as a result."

You ask the huge crystal what to do with crystals that are left behind.

"No need to worry about those. Our essence has already bound to them. We are all one and the same."

"OK. We must ask one more favor of you. We hope you will agree to help us."

The giant crystal forms a new, smaller crystal before you.

"Take this crystal and use it to lure the leader of the Disciples of Carso out. Then strike him down!"

"This crystal holds a fragment of our power. The Disciples of Carso will sense it and come running."

You can't see it, but you feel the Dimensional Crystal looking at you again.

"You appear to be worthy of our trust. As such, let us tell you about the Drifters."

"Zindel will be our hero."

"He will lead the Drifters and restore us to glory. He will free those who are bound."

"For some reason, your fate is intertwined with his in completing this task. Destiny does what it wants, it seems."

"You have my sincerest gratitude."

You ask the Giga Crystal to feel around with its feely powers to find the Investigation Team.

"Feeling... feeling... no use. They're not here anymore. But I can teleport you to region they seem to be in."

"May you find whom you seek."

"I shall teleport you when you're ready."

"I have an important task for you."

"Carso's followers are at it again and causing great harm to others."

"That's why I need you to take them out."

"Go now! Hurry!"

"You did well! I'm impressed."

"Alright, you have my trust."

"I'm thankful that Zindel has someone like you to help him."

"Go! Please keep Zindel safe!"

"We'll meet again when the time is right."
