Dialogue

Hey <Character race>, you c'mere. We got another backup in the sewers down there. Could just be a fish caught in a grate, or it could be smugglers trying to worm their way in again. Someone's going to have to check.

Hey, I'm a member of the Vigil I don't take orders from snooty civillians. (if the character is part of the Vigil)

Vigil, eh? I was in the Vigil for about a month. They kicked me out. Apparently, I don't follow directions well. I'm more of a leader, I guess. Why they didn't just promote me, I'll never know.

Ranks are earned. A good leader must first be a good follower.

That's some cute advice. I appreciate it. Really, I do. Well, here's some for you. Apparently, loudly declaring that profession trainers are "useless" will get you in some heat.

You know this from experience?

I do, in fact. Apparently, to soldiers like those in the Vigil, changing your approach to combat every once in a while is considered prudent. Not my style, but maybe it'll help you.

Thanks.

Imagine that.

Yeah. It's a real mystery.

Why don't you just go check?

Some people think, and some people do. I'm a supervisor, which means I tell the thinkers what to think and the doers what to do. You look like a thinker AND a doer. So... you think you can do this?

I don't know ... how would I even get down there?

There's three ways to get there: First, find an open access point on the surface and drop down from above. Second, drop into the canal and swim up from below. The third involves getting flushed.

Why don't I go away and think about this. Good luck.

I think I can, but I think I won't.

Good luck finding a volunteer.
