• No, no! An experiment is only a failure if you learn nothing from it.
• But this experiment yielded no results at all. The project design was flawed from the outset.
• Then go back to the outset. Eliminate the flaws, and what remains, however unwieldy, will function.
• But it will not be the same experiment, and cannot yield the intended results.
• And thus, we learn something new.
• Pupil
• I don't care what you heard. My krewe will be prodigious, and I AM a genius. You'll see. Come work for me.
• No real genius would be talking to a pupil.
• Why do you asura send killers to collect hylek poison?
• I emphatically do not. Though I imagine those that do are blinded by the demands of progress.
• Progress demands you kill us instead of buying from us?
• Progress demands forward motion. How one moves forward is left to the individual's discretion.
• Researcher
• Prosecretory settings need adjustment. Run ahead and tell them in the lab.
• Right! Prosecretory settings.
• My son insists he wants to work at the Incinergen Labs when he gets out of school.
• He's just saying that to assert his independence. He'll come around.
• I hope not. Maybe he'd learn that he should start listening to me.
• I miss those early days before the reactor, before the labs began their work in earnest.
• Progress marches on, my friend. It never stops, and it never waits.
• I know, but I do wish it would tread a bit more lightly.
• Why do you talk to asura?
• I give them stuff they want in exchange for stuff I want.
• What do they want?
• Asura stuff from the river bottom. One asura sinks with it, others pay to get it back.
• Krewe Apprentice
• Krewe Apprentice
• Enough of such talk. A Hydrone Unit krewe is no place for Incinergen dogma.
• Incinergen versus Hydrone mirrors fire versus water. Will the flames die, or will the water boil away?
• The flames will die.
• Ah, but how can you predict the outcome between equally matched opposites?
• Our hypotheses are more profound and our results more valuable. We shall prevail.
• Researcher
• I've been studying the antique golems, and it amazes me how far we've come.
• In only a couple hundred years, too. I'm quite impressed with us.
• My colleagues and I were wondering why there is such strife between hylek tribes.
• Stupid question. All tribes have the same needs, but there isn't enough for everybody.
• Surely you could come to an accommodation more cooperative than staving in each others' heads?
• You mean "cooperate" like asura labs cooperate?
• Well, no, but I...ah...uhm... Point taken.
• Did you actually see the reactor go critical?
• I did.
• Unlikely, my mendacious friend. Your eyes would have melted like snowballs in a smithy's forge.
• Ah, but I was wearing protective eyewear of my own invention. If you're headed north, I'll sell you a pair at cost.
• Traveler
• Traveler
• How do you tell a friendly hylek from an unfriendly one?
• Different tribes are different colors. That's one way to distinguish them.
• Looks like they filled the Muse Krewe. They hired one of my friends.
• I wanted a spot on that krewe, but I didn't get my name on the list early enough.
