- My bet is she's headed deeper into the desert, and that means she's either in trouble now or will be very soon.
- Let's go.
- Will do.
- My krewemates in Rata Sum have been monitoring the waypoint network. They say your device is affecting waypoints, not ley lines. Why?
- Can't you see? I adjusted the settings in the waypoints so they process the flow of magic at a more stable rate.
- I'll put it in simple language for you. My device interfaces with the waypoints and captures on-the-spot readings of magic's rate of flow through them.
- Using a complicated algorithm that I devised, it calculates the exact minimum frequency required to keep the waypoint running. It then adjusts the waypoint's settings.
- Our readings are inconclusive without more information. You must demonstrate this device, now!
- Scruffy
- Arcane Council Guard
- Perhaps you're not such a bad influence. You did get her to see reason after all.
- Yes, I suppose I did. As long as you're coming to the summit, yes?
- I'll see you at the summit.
- Yes. I'll be there. I can't promise I'll agree to anything you propose, but I'll be there. I gave my word.
- And we all know how reliable your word is.
- I'll get Taimi to the summit. Meet you at the Grove?
- Yeah.
- Oh, all right. I'll do anything if it helps us get rid of Mordremoth.
- That's a good decision, progeny. You're lucky to be alive.
- "That's a good decision, progeny. You're lucky to be alive."
- Taimi. Remember what we talked about.
- Fine. Take it. But if you break it, you pay for it.
- Hmph.
- Are you okay?
- I'll be fine. I just need some time.
- Okay. Maybe the summit will cheer you up.
- You will make sure that progeny doesn't run again. I'm wasting valuable time.
- Working on it.
- Can you talk to Taimi, please? I don't feel like chasing after her again.
- Me neither. One moment.
- Leave.
- Follow Mode is just that: Following. Don't count on Scruffy to do anything else. Defend Mode disables following, but Scruffy will fight for you, protect you, and even draw enemies off you!
- Taimi! You okay, kid?
- Braham! Braham, they were all around me. I thought...
- (sob)
- Hey. Hey now. You're okay. You're fine. They're all gone. We've got your back. You're safe now.
- (sniffle)
- What are they doing here? (sniff)
- It's too soon! I need more time. If they want my device, they can wait. I'll give it up, later.
- Remember, Taimi. This is for the greater good.
- Explain to me how rewarding evil, not to mention theft from promising students, is for the greater good. They're stealing my genius.
- You're sacrificing it to get them to the summit.
- No, it's okay. I understand. It just makes me so mad. It's just that they don't deserve it. It's MY work. But, the summit is important.
- Thanks, Taimi.
- Why do I have to be the one to sacrifice something? Especially something this important!
- Okay. If you really don't want to give it up...
- I'm glad you were here. Kid's stubborn, but...well, I can relate.
- Me too. You got this? I need to get to the Grove to prepare for the summit.
- I'll take Taimi to the Grove once she's calmed down. Losing her invention and getting cornered by the Inquest really scared her. Seeing all those leaders in one place should cheer her up, though.
- It's going to be quite the event. See you there.
