• Yes. These fine-furred fellows fervently frisk the fighting floor, finding functional fragments.
• Fascinating. Sort of like finding and fiddling with my VAL-A golem blueprints?
• How about this: I'll show you blueprints if you show me what your golem can do in a throwdown. Give those skritt some scrap to pick up!
• Okay, you asked for it. I'll show, then you'll tell.
• You look familiar. Here to serve refreshments during the fight?
• Amusing. Speaking of servers, I heard you'd built some VAL-A golems...
• I'll be serving something up for you, all right. Don't go anywhere.
• Sure, I saw your blueprints, but your version was far too slow. It clearly needed more raw power, some get-up-and-go!
• A likely excuse, this VAL-A of yours. Let's just match our golemancy in the throwdown, and then we'll discuss my technique.
• I assumed you'd rather discuss this before your humiliating defeat.
• Walk around and get a feel for the combat arena. Then check in with Mink and Keppa.
• It looks as if you're going to have to fight in the throwdown.
• It also looks like I'd be killing two birds with one stone.
• That's right. Just make sure to hit them extra hard for maximum scrappage!
• So, where do I go to enter the fight?
• Registration is in the main tent. Head on inside and we'll get everything properly sorted before the fight.
• Let's do this!
• Let's see...connect the vocal transamplifier to the aetheric luminosity enhancer and...
• We're ready to go! Gather 'round, everyone. It's showtime!
• Check all three sets of blueprints.
• Mink's Blueprints
• Keppa's Blueprints
• Councillor Haia's Blueprints
• A blueprint of your VAL-A golem, modified by Keppa, is on the table. Activate the holoprojector for a closer look.
• Activate the holoprojector.
• Keppa's blueprints annotate several key components with "unnecessary" or "swap for cheaper substitute."
• Interesting. Could a lack of key parts cause the golems to go haywire?
• A blueprint of your VAL-A golem, modified by Mink, is on the table. Activate the holoprojector to get a closer look.
• Mink's blueprints depict a larger version of the VAL-A, with far more power cells than necessary for a service golem.
• Why so many power cells? Could that have caused the malfunctions?
• A blueprint of your VAL-A golem, modified by Councillor Haia, is on the table. Activate the holoprojector to get a closer look.
• Haia's blueprints look nearly identical to your own. There aren't any noticeable changes at this magnification.
• Zoom in.
• At a higher magnification, it can be determined that something has changed in the core—the golem's power source.
• Enhance.
• The core has been swapped out for what appears to be a new, more efficient power source of the same size and weight.
• Seems like a clever improvement on the original spec.
• I've only caught a brief glimpse over your shoulder. What have you deduced regarding the VAL-A modifications?
• Keppa and Mink's revisions were troubling. Councillor Haia actually improved on my design.
• I need a little longer to analyze their changes.
• I see. That narrows our suspects to two, then.
• Who should we go after?
• It's your choice. Do you think the fatal malfunction resulted from Keppa's use of subpar parts or Mink's overcharging?
• It had to be Keppa's modifications.
• Mink made my golem into a hazard.
• I need a little longer with their blueprints.
• As well as either of us. We should speak with them; they may be able to recruit more to our cause.
• Defeat Plunka and her golems.
• Eat!
• Roast Pig
