    GC Quest, "Alive" -- Text -- Guincum's Missing Hyphenation, Inconsistent Capping

    When the player is in Maelstrom Command in Limsa Lominsa and speaks to Guincum regarding the "Alive" GC quest, the following text appears:

    "
    Guincum: A search and rescue party
    has already been deployed to
    Camp Iron Lake, but initial
    reports state that the area is
    crawling with Imperial soldiers
    preventing the unit from
    carrying out its orders.
    "

    This is incorrect for two reasons:
    1. "search and rescue" should be hyphenated as a compound adjective.
    2. "Imperial" should appear lower case to be consistent with the rest of the in-game text.

    Please fix this issues by hyphenating "search and rescue" and by replacing "Imperial" with "imperial".

    The corrected text would read as follows:

    "
    Guincum: A search-and-rescue party
    has already been deployed to
    Camp Iron Lake, but initial
    reports state that the area is
    crawling with imperial soldiers
    preventing the unit from
    carrying out its orders.
    "

    Capitalizing "imperial"? Tsk, tsk.

    I swear to the Twelve this'll be the only one I do. Good luck, team.

    And so Merm's investigations recommence...

    IMO, Imperial should be capped across the board, mainly because its use carries the weight of a nation, THE Empire. Also like the Crown does IRL.
    But consistency in use is still more important.

    Like I said, this'll be it, Catapult. For a variety of reasons.

    And yeah. "imperial" probably should have been capitalized to start with. No argument.

    Dear me, looks like I'll need to fill some of the void.

    Thanks for the post, Merm! Consider the bugs fixed for 1.20a.

    I hope this isn't the last we'll see of you.
    Your keen eye and attention to detail have been invaluable assets to the project since Eorzea's humble beginnings.
