[Kellasus] Keep up the good work. I get the feeling that our future might be depending on you...

-
[Kellasus] Alright then, I'll begin by teaching you ^FF0000Bioethics^000000, the fundamental skill for creating Homunculi.
Script requirement -
[Kellasus] In order to master Bioethics, you've got to appreciate the sweetness of life and genuinely care about living creatures. And so, you must always take care of your Homunculus.
Script requirement -
[Kellasus] You must constantly check to see if your Homunculus is tired or hungry, or if it's been hurt. You must also take into account your Homunculus's feelings towards you, its owner.
Script requirement -
[Kellasus] When that nurturing attitude becomes second nature to you, you will have mastered Bioethics. It sounds simple, but you can only understand a relationship with a Homunculus through experience.
Script requirement -
[Kellasus] Well, you should know enough by now to create and care for your own Homunculus. I trust that you will be responsible in your search for discoveries that may benefit mankind.
Script requirement -
[Kellasus] Before we part ways, would you tell me your name?
Script requirement -
[ My name is...
Script requirement -
[Kellasus] Ah... I'll remember that. Goodbye for now, and I hope that you make a great contribution to the world of Alchemy someday.

Script requirement -
[Kellasus] Our viewpoints may be different, but I'll agree that there's too much potential in studying Homunculi that I can no longer ignore as a scientist and as a humanitarian.
Script requirement -
[Kellasus] If I teach you these skills, you may be treading a moral line. But I believe it should be alright if you work to learn something that will benefit the greater good.
Script requirement -
[ Does... Does that mean you'll teach me?
Script requirement -
[Kellasus] Now don't get too excited. I'm still unsure if Homunculus Study should be open to all Alchemists, but for now, I believe I can trust you.
Script requirement -
[Kellasus] However, you've got to use the skills I teach you to ultimately benefit other people. It's not like I can force you to forget once you know how to make Homunculi, understand?
Script requirement -
[Kellasus] Please give me a little time to prepare my lesson for you. It's been a very long time since I've done this...
Script requirement -

Script requirement -
[Kellasus] ^333333*Sigh*^000000 I'm so confused... There's no denying that everything you said is right. But now I don't know what I should believe...
Script requirement -
Dialogue ends here
Script requirement -
[Kellasus] Have you come to ask me again to teach you Homunculus skills? You're awfully persistent, but I suppose that might be how you became an Alchemist...
Script requirement -
[ Well, I sort of came here to ask about that. But first, I heard a rumor that your son was really sick for a while...
Script requirement -
[Kellasus] Y-yes. It's really difficult for me to talk about that time. The thought of losing my boy is too much to bear. He means the world to me...
Script requirement -
[Kellasus] I was so desperate to keep my boy alive that I would have sold my soul without any regret. I'm more than willing to sacrifice my own life for his sake.
Script requirement -
[Kellasus] Luckily, my son recovered from his disease and he is very healthy nowadays. But why are you reminding me of something like this?
Script requirement -
[ You're right that the creation of Homunculi brings up a moral issue. But instead of morals, I want to appeal to your sense of humanitarianism if I can.
Script requirement -
[Kellasus] I don't follow. What exactly do you mean by humanitarianism?
Script requirement -
[ I believe that the study of Homunculi could help us discover the secret of life. There is just too much potential to do good to ignore.
Script requirement -
[ I'm not interested in creating new creatures or playing God. What I do want is the knowledge to cure people regardless of the disease. No matter how desperate it may be.
Script requirement -
[ It may be immoral to create experimental life forms and to sacrifice them, but I'm willing to do that for the people who may need that cure I might discover...
Script requirement -
[ When your son was sick, you were willing to make sacrifices to see that he recover. But still, there are other people in the world with worse ailments...
Script requirement -
[ I want to study Homunculi because there's a chance that I might be able to bring hope to someone's hopeless situation...
Script requirement -
[Kellasus] I've never... I never thought... I'm sorry. I need some time alone...
Script requirement -
Dialogue ends here
Script requirement -
[Kellasus] Although I admit that you're capabile of learning what I might be able to teach you about Homunculi, I can't in good conscience do it. I'm sorry, but please give up.
Script requirement -
Dialogue ends here
Script requirement -
[Kellasus] How many times must I tell you? I'm sorry, but I can't teach you anything related to Homunculi. It especially bothers me that you know nothing at all about them...
Script requirement -
[ But while I was gone, I spent so much time studying about Homunculi from these Alchemy experts. I guarantee that I'm qualified to learn the fundamentals!
Script requirement -
[Kellasus] Experts...? Ah, you mean Skrajjad, Keshibien and Broncher. My old colleages. Alright. But I'll be the judge of whether or not you learned anything about Homunculi.
Script requirement -
[Kellasus] I'm going to give you several questions, so I hope you answer all of these correctly. Are you ready?
Script requirement -
[Kellasus] First question. What skill, mastered at Skill Level 1, allows the caster to retreat a Homunculus, putting it in an inert state of hibernation?
Script requirement -
[Kellasus] Hmm, not bad. So you've been studying. Now, the second question. What is the item, whose name indicates a very early stage of Homunculus development, used for the Call Homunculus skill?
Script requirement -
[Kellasus] Huh. You got that one right too. Alright, third question. What is the name of the skill, mastered at Skill Level 5, which allows you to resurrect Homunculi?
Script requirement -
[Kellasus] So you have been putting a lot of effort in studying this. I really admire your dedication and it looks like you've got the potential to be a really great Alchemist.
Script requirement -
[Kellasus] Still, even though you're qualified to learn all the Homunculus skills, I choose not to teach them based on my own personal principles. Nothing can change my mind.
Script requirement -
[Kellasus] I admit that I'm proud of the progress you've made, but I just can't bring myself to be a part of what I believe to be an abuse of the gift of life.
Script requirement -
[Kellasus] There's just so much risk! I don't think I can bear to be responsible for any of the consequences that may come with the existence of artificially created life.

Script requirement -
[Kellasus] I'm disappointed... I really thought you had learned everything you could about Homunculi, but it looks like there are a few gaps in your knowledge.
Script requirement -
Dialogue ends here
Script requirement -
[Kellasus] Hmm... It looks like you still haven't learned enough about Homunculi. Even if I wanted to teach you, it looks like you're not quite ready to learn...
Script requirement -
Dialogue ends here
Script requirement -
[Kellasus] You'd be able to get the first question right if you were really serious about studying Homunculi. You'd better just give up and find a new alchemic interest.

-
[Kellasus] I'm sorry, but I refuse to teach you anything related to the Homunculus skills.
Script requirement -
[Kellasus] I should feel insulted that you asked me, but once there was a time when I was more like you, so I can understand how you feel. However, my views are much different now...
Script requirement -
Dialogue ends here
Script requirement -
[Kellasus] Oh, hello, what brings you this way? As your senior in the field of Alchemy, I can give you some advice if you're stumped by a particular problem...
Script requirement -
[ I want you to teach me how to create a Homunculus.
Script requirement -
[Kellasus] ... Come again? I don't think I heard what you said quite right.
Script requirement -
[ I said... I want you to teach me the skills for Homunculus creation.
Script requirement -
[Kellasus] After all of my talk... My warnings about knowledge that should be forbidden to Alchemists, you want to go and create a Homunculus?!
Script requirement -
[Kellasus] Perhaps I never should have mentioned that subject. But I still don't understand why you would suddenly want to learn those skills. Yes, it's true that I could teach you...
Script requirement -
[Kellasus] But I refuse to pass down my knowledge of Homunculi to anyone for any reason. Surely, you must know that by now. I'm stupefied that you even had the audacity to ask!
Script requirement -
Dialogue ends here
Script requirement -
[Kellasus] No? Well, I suppose learning something on your own is good, but sometimes it's good to ask for help from those who are more experienced than you.
Script requirement -
Dialogue ends here
Script requirement -
[Kellasus] Ah, you've returned... Now, you must be wondering why I have been warning you about the dangers of using Alchemy to obtain knowledge that should be forbidden.
Script requirement -
[Kellasus] It is better that you know now than to find out later and not be prepared. There is a skill in Alchemy that transgresses the natural laws by creating life not intended by God.
Script requirement -
[Kellasus] It is an extremely dangerous skill that was developed out of human arrogance. Life is a beautiful thing, a precious gift, that we dare not tamper with.
Script requirement -
[Kellasus] My greatest shame in life is my contribution to that field of knowledge. At that time I was young and headstrong, too proud to admit I was playing God.
Script requirement -
[Kellasus] I even went so far as to become the most skilled Alchemist in the creation of ^FF0000Homunculi^000000. But I've changed my ways. I don't... I'll never create one again.
Script requirement -
[Kellasus] Alchemy is an incredible field of study, and it's great that you've dedicated yourself to it, but always remember that this science has great potential for abuse, as well as for good.
Script requirement -
[Kellasus] I only fear that your quest for knowledge, your insatiable curiosity to reveal the unknown, may lead you on the path of the Homunculus. For your own sake, don't bother considering the idea.
Script requirement -
[Kellasus] Remember that all life is precious. If your motives are good, and untainted by the desire for fame or fortune, and if you work for the greater good of mankind, you'll be fine.
Script requirement -
Dialogue ends here
Script requirement -
[Kellasus] Ah, it's you again. Since you're here, let me ask you a question. What exactly do you think of Alchemy?
-
[Kellasus] Wait. Don't answer that. As someone more experienced in this field, I believe that the answer to that question is more complicated than you think.
-
[Kellasus] Most people see Alchemists as greedy scientists, assuming that we use our skills exclusively for^FFFFFF.^000000the transmutation of gold. Of course, learning how to do that is part of our basic training.
-
[Kellasus] But learning transmutation is part of something bigger. All Alchemists must strive to harness nature for the good of mankind. To do this requires the study of every science.
-
[Kellasus] The fields of Medicine, Chemistry, Biology, Geology, Astronomy, Astrology, Geomancy, Mathematics, Physics and even Philosophy must all be learned by the competent Alchemist.
-
[Kellasus] Once you've entered the exciting vastness of Alchemy, there is no turning back. Do your best to learn all that you can, and never forget that you have responsibilities to mankind.
-

-
[Kellasus] You're another practitioner of Alchemy, aren't you? It's been a long time since I've spoken to such a young colleague...
-
[Kellasus] As your elder colleague, I encourage you to focus on your training. Enlighten yourself and satisfy your curiosity by solving the riddles of science.
-
[Kellasus] But heed my words... There are secrets of science that must never be discovered by humans. Do not be so proud as to seek out forbidden truths.
-
[Kellasus] Good luck in your studies, and I hope you never use your search for answers as an excuse to give in to greed and obsession.
-
Dialogue ends here
-
[Kellasus] Hmm. Who decides what is right and wrong? What is meant to be known and what secrets were never intended for mankind to understand?
-
[Kellasus] There are many who would agree that God alone wields authority over life and death. But Alchemy does provide a way for the audacious...
