On Vylbrand, a man in dark leathers stands atop a sunken boulder jutting out from the plains of La Noscea. In one hand, a black pearl, banded with gold. Jin'li's. In the other, a strange tower-like device...
"This little guy will allow me to set a frequency and maintain it. Imperials are lazy, therefore efficient... And that's all she wrote."
"That's it? Flip a switch?"
"All linkpearls emit this signal, right? They have unique wavelengths, which prevents them from getting mixed up with other linkpearl signals."
"...pearls are the same, shells are unique, yeah, got it. Somethin' somethin', one to a customer."
"You'll notice linkpearl signals get weaker the further away they get from each other. This is because the signals can only travel so far before other natural frequencies start to interfere."
"Hence why callin' Vylbrand from Gridania is real shite, and why I'll have to wait t'call me mum."
"Mm. That in mind, this device here basically takes the linkpearl signal... and bounces it back to its source, much like you would when using the pearl to communicate."
"..alright, but how do I know where to go?"
"It's a compass, basically."
"...so I have to carry this thing with me. Can't, say, leave it in a room somewhere and work out directions with a friend."
"Unfortunately. If you want a precise location, you'll want to carry it with you. The needle will start to vibrate and rock back and forth the closer you are, though. So at the very least, you'll know when you're in the general vicinity of the other pearl."
"Told you before, there's two others out there... this thing focus one a time?"
"...for now, it'd be whichever pearl is closest. I'd have to do a bit more research if I were to figure out a way to isolate specific linkpearl signals."
"Nah. This'd be good enough."
"You know... I have no idea what the hells I'd call this thing."
"Have t'name 'em all, eh?"
"For everyone else's sake, yeah."
"Could call this 'Tucopiss Tracker #1' for all I care. As long as it works."
"TPT. Got it."
Osric Melkire looked down at the tracking device, and slipped the black-and-gold pearl into the little slot that had been built to accommodate such things.. Immediately, the needle started spinning, turning faster, then slowing down, coming to a rest to point towards...
Limsa Lominsa.
I'm comin' for you, Adin. Comin' for you real soon.
