I managed to get PTM repaired. As he was rebooting, I was joined by Canach, who has apparently decided he needs more adventure. I called and updated Rytlock and Sayida on what I've been up to; they've moved to another encampment up north, so I sent Canach to join them. Maybe they'll keep each other out of trouble. PTM was able to provide some insight about Vloxx's past as an engineer in Rata Sum, and it seems consistent with the asura I met: a career of trying to do good and growing increasingly frustrated by corruption. I got even more insight when he called me just a few minutes ago. By his accounting, he's working with the Inquest because they're the only "tool" he has available. He frankly seems pleased with the idea of dismantling them, which is promising. And he spoke a bit about what his goals here are, how he worries that Tyria won't survive on its current course, and how he intends to "remove the impediments to individuals like you." An understandable sentiment, but it takes more than that to do good, and the Inquest are certainly not doing any good here. I'm not sure what to make of him yet. I'm going to join up with the others and figure out our next steps.
