• It was horrible.
• And yet oddly captivating and beautiful.
• What? I nearly got my face melted off!
• I am absolutely positive someone is attempting to steal my research.
• Has someone disturbed your experiments or stolen your notes?
• No. But every morning, my notepad is exactly one micrometer left of center.
• That does sound suspicious.
• I thought I saw some Opticalium goons skulking around the lab today.
• Ooh. Interkrewe espionage. How exciting. We must really be onto something.
• Thaumaturgical research is always lucrative. Everyone needs new power sources.
• You look exhausted. You're working too hard.
• You know what they say: "A rotating cog amasses no sporophyte."
• You've not spent a lot of time in the jungle, have you?
• Good—day, citizen.
• I didn't do anything. Why do you persecute me?
• Have you ever been to the krewe chief's quarters?
• Only once. The experience disturbed me so much I vowed to never return.
• Shelf after shelf filled with specimen jars. Every room, floor to ceiling.
• I swear...I saw shapes squirming inside every jar. Creepiest collection ever.
• I heard a rumor that a human going to Divinity's Reach ended up in Black Citadel.
• Can you imagine if that had happened before the charr-human truce? Hah!
• You fool. You're mistaken. The Eternal Alchemy doesn't control the reaction.
• The Eternal Alchemy controls every reaction.
• The catalyst controls the reaction. The Eternal Alchemy dictates the variables.
• I guarantee the reactor explosion was due to user error.
• Have you traveled to the epicenter to investigate the cause?
• Unnecessary. Ninety-nine percent of all mishaps are caused by overlooked details—ergo, user error.
• I have the largest private collection of Oola antiquities in the world.
• Your collection consists of two golem hands, a tattered journal page, a scorched leather glove...oh, and a broken specimen jar.
• I know. Incredible, isn't it? They're all exceedingly rare finds.
• The magic is in the minutia, as my mentor always used to say.
• What in the Alchemy does that mean, exactly?
• It means triple-check every detail if you don't want to blow up the lab.
• How does the Eternal Alchemy treat you this fine day?
• Like a cog wedged into a broken tooth on the main flywheel.
• My latest invention is a process through which dust transforms into potable water.
• Technically, a process is not an invention but a discovery.
• My next invention will be a closure system for your oral orifice.
• Have you ever attended a council session at the Ministerial House?
• Oh my! No! That sounds dreadfully boring. Administrative discussions exhaust me.
• Actually, they're quite entertaining and enlightening. Participation is encouraged.
• Participating isn't really my thing. I'd rather complain about the process afterwards.
• So, I told him, "New regulations stipulate you must remove your boots and belt before traveling."
• And he fell for it?
• Completely. He had to hold his pants up as he entered the gate.
• I read your treatise on thaumaturgical properties of mundane materials. Intriguing.
• If my hypotheses bear out, it could revolutionize the entire power industry.
• There you go, dabbling in dynamics again. Your primary focus should be the Eternal Alchemy.
• My ears! How long has it been? Feels like an eternity.
• We spoke yesterday. Perhaps you should get the space between your ears checked.
