• Get shinies?
• Yeah, but did you see?
• I see.
• You're not even looking.
• Well, I have to admit I'm a bit disappointed. This steam creature is crude, at best. Look at the way its gears are seated, and the primitive configuration of its mechamagical structure.
• Yes, I see. You must remember that this was her early work.
• But I was making golems like this when I was still a toddler.
• She is sylvari. We are asura. There are inherent differences, you know?
• I suppose she gets some credit because she never was a toddler.
• Very astute of you.
• This steam creature may have been her prototype. It has...flaws.
• What do you mean...flaws?
• Look closely with your engineering eyes on. Do you see the way its gears are seated so awkwardly and the primitive configuration of its mechamagical structure?
• Yes, I see what you mean. I haven't used that configuration since my first apprenticeship.
• Oh, I couldn't possibly explain it in terms you would understand. You'll just have to trust me on it.
• Revive Edmund.
• If you say so.
• Do you see it? Do you see? It's a steam minotaur!
• Edmund
• Yeah, and some people don't use theirs enough. Wishful thinking won't get you to the trough.
• True.
• I've never been very magic minded, and both Omadd and Scarlet were crazy. To think that you could see the whole of the world in one moment. It's ridiculous.
• Perhaps it's true. The mind is a powerful tool.
• That's one mighty fine rug you helped me make. Here, take a little something for the road.
• This looks like it was her diary. Take a look and tell me what you think?
• Hang on a second. There's mention here of a miner who found the ley line hub that Scarlet was looking for. I wonder if she's still here. Maybe you could go see? She's a norn named Toska.
• What are you going to do?
• Can do.
• Well, no. Of course, you wouldn't. Being...you. But, for an asura, this is the find of a lifetime. I was fated to be the one who discovered it.
• You were fated?
• Yes. I knew from the first moment I heard about her that Scarlet's fate and mine were intertwined. And now, I shall be her biographer. I only wish I'd had a chance to speak with her.
• What do you think she was doing out here?
• Perfectly acceptable. While I'm disappointed not to have a name such as yours tied to my research, I am confident that I can handle this on my own.
• You may, of course, seek my guidance at any point.
• I appreciate the offer. Although you haven't advanced your research since winning the Snaff prize, I'm sure you could have much to offer me.
• So what do you think Scarlet was doing out here?
• Whatever does that mean? My heart has nothing to do with it. I will apply my mind.
• I mean be sympathetic. She was a person, like you.
• No. She was a person like you. If she had been born asura, with a strong asuran mind, she may not have fallen into madness. But she was sylvari, and therefore...prone to listening to her heart.
• My developing belief is that she found a ley line hub somewhere in this area. All the evidence points to it. I'm quite sure she was performing research at it and on it. It's so exciting!
• I hope we find it.
• I'm staying here. Do you realize the historical significance of this find? Not to mention the salvage rights. I'll be writing papers, treatises, and dissertations on this until I'm eighty!
• I don't get the thrill.
• I'd stay and be a coauthor, but I have more pressing matters.
• All I ask is that you handle it with a gentle heart.
• Better get started then. See you later.
• Taimi's research supplies include several blank scrolls, a magical stylus, and a candy stick for emergency energy.
• Look, look, look! This is a historical find!
• Careful, now. You'll pop a gasket.
• She hasn't been here in a very long time. This—oh, and that! Great glarrgh!
