Village

* Hole
    <Sniff... Sniff...>
    (Zidane): (We'll get you out...)
    Zidane: A well would lead underground, but I can't fit through this thing...
    Zidane: There's gotta be a way in somewhere!

* Mayor's door
    Zidane: I think the mayor is still inside...

Windmill

Stables

Zidane: This isn't...
Zidane: ...just a regular underground storage facility.
(Dagger): What's going on?
(Zidane): (Shhh!)
He kneels by a large barrel and peers around it.
Man: Why is it moving...?
Man: Is it true that the mayor's brother found it?
Young Man: I guess they reconciled. His brother's one of us now.
Man: ...Wasn't he on the old lady's side before?
Young Man: Oh, about abandoning the farm? He probably only said that because he was fighting with the mayor.
Young Man: Who cares? We need more workers anyway. Hey, let's put this in a box.
Man: I guess the guys at the castle will take care of it.
(Dagger): (The castle...!?)
Young Man: Yup. We're only in charge of production.
(Dagger): !
(Man): Gotcha!
(Dagger): (The pattern on this barrel...)
(Young Man): Come along, now.
The men lead Vivi into view.
(Young Man): Hurry up!
(Zidane): (Vivi!)
(Zidane): That bastard!
He starts to move. Dagger grabs him and pulls him back.
(Dagger): (Zidane! Wait!)
(Zidane): (Geez! Hey!)
She pulls him off-screen. The men lead Vivi out along the path. Vivi stops.
(Vivi): ......
The man behind hits him.

Underground tunnel

Zidane: What is it!?
Dagger: Did you see the large barrel next to the shed?
Dagger: I've seen the exact same pattern on some of the barrels at the castle.
Dagger: This place must have some kind of connection with Alexandria Castle.
Dagger: I must know what it is!
Dagger: So please... I beg of you, don't cause any trouble just yet.
(Zidane): ...Alright.
Zidane: But I will start trouble if Vivi is in danger.
Zidane: Agreed?
(Dagger): Sure.
Zidane: Alright, let's go. They went further inside.
They go back in.

    Zidane: So, this is why I heard a chocobo up there...

Storage area

* Box
    Zidane: What's this? It's shaped like a coffin.

        He kicks it, and a chest drops from the crane.
    * Leave it alone

Second storage area

Open area

Zidane: What the heck is that?
He runs over to investigate some machinery.
(Dagger): Zidane!
He runs back.
Zidane: What is it?
Dagger: Someone's crying...
<Sniff... Sniff...>
(Zidane): ......
He traces it to a box.
(Zidane): ...Vivi?
(The box): Zidane!?
(Zidane): It IS you!
(Zidane): I'll get you out!

Black

Zidane: Why would they stuff you in a box?
Dagger: How could they...?
Vivi: U-Um...
Zidane: We'll talk later! Hooold on! ...It's open!

Open area
- 95 Gil: Chest.

Zidane: What happened?
Vivi: After you left, some men kidnapped me and brought me here.
Vivi: They told me to stay put. I was so scared... I didn't know what to do.
Vivi: They asked me, 'Why were you outside?' and then they said, 'The cargo ship isn't even here yet.'
Vivi: I didn't know what they were talking about, so I didn't say anything, and then they said, 'Let's put it in today's shipment.'
Dagger: And then they put you in that box?
(Vivi) (nods): ...Yeah.
Zidane: Well, I'm glad you're safe.
Zidane: Listen, Vivi. You gotta do something next time.
Zidane: You should try- screaming back or whatever.
(Vivi): Screaming...?
(Zidane): Yeah, like...
Zidane: Get off me, you scumbag!
(Dagger): (Scumbag?)
Zidane: Like that! It surprises your attacker and empowers you!
(Vivi): Huh... I see.
Zidane: I need to ask you a favor, Vivi.
Zidane: We want to check out what's ahead.
Zidane: I know you might not be thrilled with the idea, but...
Vivi: ...Zidane, I wanna know more, too.
Vivi: Look... What is that thing?
They look at the machine.
Zidane: Alright, we'll all go together!

* Bottom box
    Zidane: ...It's empty.

* Machine
    Zidane: Is that... an egg?
    Zidane: Is this machine... making eggs?
    Zidane: This isn't a Mist engine, but there's Mist coming out of it...

* Door
    Zidane: Is this...smoke?
    Zidane: No... This... This is Mist!
    Zidane: Let's see...

- Potion: Chest behind funnel.
- Phoenix Pinion: Behind machine.

* Machinery
    Zidane: So many machines... What are they doing here?
    Zidane: Looks like it's sending Mist to the machine outside... What are those eggs made of...?

Production area

* Conveyor belt
    Zidane: A chocobo and...gysahl greens?
    Zidane: The chocobo is powering the conveyor belt...
    Zidane: Why don't they just use a machine to do it...?

* Machine
    Zidane: Here's another strange machine...
    Zidane: It looks kinda like the Mist engine on the theater ship.

* Pass the machine
    He peers in.
    Zidane: I can almost see inside...
    Zidane: ...but I can't see anything. I just hear some noise.
    Zidane: Are the eggs... hatching?

Black

Vivi: Ahhh! What is this!?

Next production area

Black mages scroll past, hanging from a conveyor belt.
Zidane: They're...
Zidane: Some parts are different, but...
Zidane: (...They look like Vivi.)
Vivi: Wh-What is this...?
Vivi: Are they...dolls?
Zidane hears something, and turns.
(Zidane): !
(Zidane): (Someone's coming!)
Zidane: Vivi! Dagger!
Dagger: Why...? Is my mother behind this...?
Zidane: This is the only way!

Black

Dagger: Ahhh! What are you doing, Zidane!?
Vivi: Wh-Whoa!

End of the production area

Zidane carries Dagger and drags Vivi around, looking for somewhere to hide. He ends up following the mages into a machine.
Dagger: Ahhh! ...Murf...! !!! ...!!!
Zidane: Sorry! But stay quiet!
A man enters.
Young Man: Hey! Did you say something?
Worker: Nope. Not me.
Young Man: Okay. Never mind.
Young Man: It's almost time. Hurry it up, will ya?
Worker: I hear ya!
A box falls into the machine.
Zidane: Whoa!
Dagger: Zidane!?
The box continues along the conveyor belt, and is loaded into a barrel. Another falls.
Vivi: Ahhhhhh!
Dagger: Vivi!
