Dialogue

At Loch Jezt

Interesting...inverse parabolic flux dampening.

What are you doing?

We're studying the bridge. It's been floating for ages with no apparent means of support. No outside influence. Scientific curiosity demands we find the mysterious mechanism that makes it float.

Good luck.

That's interesting. Bye.

At Thaumanova Reactor

Watch your step, especially if you enter the reactor. The Inquest did a number on this place. I wouldn't be surprised if we didn't have secondary magicosplosions or waves of surreality fluctuations.

What is this place?

It's a city. Or rather, it was a city. But the Inquest had a lab buried deep beneath it. Judging by the extent of magical fallout, they must've been conducting some frighteningly powerful research there.

What happened?

They stretched the Eternal Alchemy to its limits, and the whole place blew. Catastrophic meltdown. We'll be cleaning it up for years and the survivors may never be the same.

Tragic. Good luck.

I see.

What are some of the dangers?

If contaminated, you could up with your teeth turned backward, your memories flipped inside out, your brains in your rump, or feet for hands. We haven't seen these symptoms yet, but we expect them.

What is this place? (same as above)

Thanks for the warning.

I will. Thanks.

At Infernal Cape

Still alive, I see. Keep it up.

I plan to. Any insight into the Destroyers?

Something's not right, I can tell you that, but we need more data before we can know for sure. I think we're in for a surprise.

Interesting. Thanks.

Hello. No Time to talk. I'll be back.

At Siren's Landing

Hm, fascinating. Did you see that?

See what?

Those Risen acknowledge one another. Have you ever seen them fight? It's as if they know...they are kindred spirits.

Never thought of it that way. Almost humanizes them.

I need to go. Good day to you.

Nope. No. Don't talk to me. I'm counting Risen, tracking their movements. I can't be distracted.

Why are you doing that?

It's important for our success and failure criteria. If we know how many we have to remove, we can track our progress. All important data... Oh, now I've lost count!

I need to go. Good day to you.

I need to go. Good day to you.

Trivia

• The researchers at Loch Jezt sometimes fire electrical bolts at random intervals at each other, sometimes at the same time.
