• By raising a ruckus. If we wave banners and shout Gorr's name at the top of our lungs, the Arcane Eye will pounce.
• Okay, how did you get those doors open? I was watching closely, and I still didn't catch it.
• Trade secret. Available only to those who sign on with the Order of Whispers full-time.
• Can I interrupt? I don't want to give the impression that I'm ungrateful, but I can't thank you for saving me until I'm actually safe.
• Point taken. Time to go, Savant. I'll take Gorr back via the scenic route so we're not followed. That's standard Order of Whispers procedure.
• Thank you all for...collaborating on my rescue. Imagine, jailing me for a theory. Outrageous! Opprobrious!
• I agree. The best way to counter such opprobrium is to prove your theory correct. How do we demonstrate that the dragons consume magic?
• Simple. We find an area infested with dragon minions—let's say undead—and clear it while Gorr measures the ambient magic.
• I prefer a more controlled experiment. The Priory has already captured several dragon minions for advanced study. This definitely qualifies.
• I know what you're going to say, Zojja. But before I pick an option, I want to know what your mysterious "long-range plan" is.
• Sorry, Professor. I should have anticipated that such a high dose of concentrated magic would only strengthen the minion.
• Unquestionably. On the bright side, this is the breakthrough I've been looking for: proof positive that my theory is valid.
• These readings are conclusive: the more magic we gave it, the more was absorbed. The Arcane Council can't possibly deny the correlation.
• With respect, Professor, we need to begin. Tell us how you plan to proceed, and we'll make sure you're not interrupted.
• Of course. This area has...eh...a concentration of dragon minions—undead, to be precise—large enough to provide an accurate measurement.
• Once I have that, it's a simple matter of correlating that data with the baseline metrics I've derived back in my lab.
• We're standing by, Professor. You can begin whenever you're ready.
• Escort Dexa and her salvage crew into the field.
• Hmm...these readings are...they're...aren't nearly strong enough to be conclusive.
• We're still on the fringes of their territory. If we could delve deeper into the swamp, we might find larger minions there.
• Fine, but larger minions are a larger threat. Stay close, Professor. The deeper we go, the more danger you're in.
• Ballistician Dexa
• This is fantastic! The larger the minion presence, the less ambient magic! Finally, irrefutable proof of my theory. The dragons do consume magic.
• Thank you. Thank you for rescuing me, for helping me collect this data...for everything!
• I'm proud to be of assistance, but it's all part of my duty as Vigil to protect Tyria and its people from the dragons.
• My theory is confirmed. Thanks to you all, we have conclusive proof that the dragons are consuming the world's magic at an alarming rate.
• If the Priory called a conference, all the most influential geniuses in Rata Sum would attend. Rakt wouldn't dare touch 'em. And once they know, the news can't help but spread.
• Word of mouth isn't reliable. Not against Rakt. We need mass communication. We should commandeer the Golem Control Center and broadcast a message from there.
• The Arcane Eye is the real problem. If we attack them head on and take the fight to Rakt himself, they won't be able to contain Gorr's theory.
• This is it, Savant. All three orders want you as a member. If you're willing, the plan you choose now will determine the order you join. Permanently.
• Oh, I'm willing. That'll put me on the inside, with access to all of that order's resources, from here on. That's what you meant by building alliances.
• Welcome to the Vigil, recruit. There's serious work ahead of us. Rakt is somewhere in this complex. He's wily, dangerous, and he has to be taken down.
• This is a straightforward search-and-destroy mission. We search until we find Rakt, and then we destroy.
• What about Arcane Eye agents?
• Destroy. If they interfere, then they are colluders in Rakt's effort to stifle Gorr's message. Show no mercy and finish the job.
• I should have known. A full frontal assault could only mean the Vigil. Look, you've even recruited the Snaff Savant.
• Big mistake, "soldier." Now the Arcane Eye will make a point of dismantling your little army piece by piece, starting with you.
• You trumped-up little martinet. Does that mean you'll actually fight us, instead of hiding behind the Council's authority?
• Here. You see, Councilor Flax? Everything I said is true. The Arcane Eye have been trying to supress my theory that the dragons are eating magic.
• My correct theory, I might add. We now have proof that the dragons do consume magic.
• We know, Professor. We've always known. Preparations are being made to exploit your "discovery" for Rata Sum's benefit even as we speak.
• Then Rakt was working for you all along. You used the Arcane Eye to get Gorr out of the way so you could stifle the truth.
• You won't get away with this. We'll tell the world. We'll distribute Gorr's research. We'll—
• You'll make a lot of shrill noise, as always. And as always, no one will listen or care. You're wasting the council's time. This audience is over.
• Chieftain Utahein
• I had no idea the Council was corrupt enough to hoard information that could help Tyria deal with the dragons.
• It's stupid pride: they think they can protect Rata Sum while the dragons eliminate everything else. The rest of the world can burn for all they care.
• Listen, I've fought the dragons, and I'm telling you the Council alone has no chance against them. The only hope Tyria has is for all the races to join forces.
• Congratulations. Getting you into an order was the first step. Now for the tricky part: I'm bound for Lion's Arch, too. I'm meeting an...old friend there.
• We were members of a brilliant team: Destiny's Edge. Things went...horribly wrong, but I'm starting to think the team is worth another try.
