- No idea yet. Mapping ley lines could allow her to identify the places of power where they converge. I need more time to figure it out for sure.
- You've learned all you can from this logbook.
- Why are you so fascinated by Scarlet?
- In a word: freedom. She studied all over the world, she sets her own agenda, and she gets to build whatever she thinks up. Villainy aside, that's every genius's dream.
- True, but I'm not willing to put her villainy aside. Most people aren't.
- Agent Rjoda
- Hey, you asked. I never said she was a role model or moral paragon. I just like her work and envy the opportunities she has.
- I think I understand. I don't agree, but I understand.
- Parents? Ha! All I've got are bossy grown-ups. As to what they'll say—Braham will make more bellowing noises, Zojja will try to ground me...again...and Vorpp will just sigh and shake his head.
- So you're an orphan?
- We have a problem. The krait and Risen are all in one area, but the two aren't fighting, yet.
- The supplies in this chest are mysteriously unsullied by the outside corruption.
- Take them.
- She latched on to me a while ago. She's trying to use her clout with the Arcane Council to get me switched from Dynamics to Synergetics so she can be my mentor.
- Do you want to switch?
- He wants me to work alongside him as a researcher-for-hire. He's all mysterious about what that means...or what he actually does...or for whom he does it.
- That's not much to go on.
- I should be able to study whatever I want. Right now Dynamics interests me more than Synergetics. I wish Zojja would just accept that, but she's got a thing about mentors and mentees.
- No, but it does carry some appeal. He says we'd never know what our next project is until it starts, and that's kind of intriguing. In a way.
- That was easy. When the Aetherblades broke Mai out of prison, all he saw was another opportunity to yell "Kuh-bam!" By the time he remembered I was there, I was already gone.
- What about the danger? What would your parents say?
- That's right. I've been a ward of the Rata Sum social-agency division—Progeny Protective Services—since I was a baby. But neither that nor my legs ever slowed me down much.
- I was born this way. My legs were never strong enough to carry me very far. Don't pity me, though. I hate pity. And I don't need it because I do just fine for myself.
- I can see that. Can your legs be cured?
- That remains to be seen. The degenerative effects of my condition may spread to other parts of my body as I get older, but for now it's just the legs.
- How far can you walk?
- I can get in and out of Scruffy when I need to. For example, I can walk from my bedroom to the water closet. Just don't ask me to be your partner in a dance marathon.
- His name is Scruffy, and I built him from scratch. He's got some quirks, but he's also got some features no one else has even heard of. He's my conveyance, butler, and battle armor all rolled into one.
- Where are his missing parts again?
- Hello again, %str1%. Scruffy's autorepair still has some work to do, so do me a favor and talk to me to help pass the time?
- I did have a few questions for you.
- Sorry, I can't right now. Maybe later.
- I'm afraid I'm stuck here until further notice. If you wanted to get to know me better, now would be the perfect time to chat. Doing so will edify you and keep me from being bored, so have at it.

- You found them! Scruffy's as good as fixed. All I need to do is install them and recalibrate the internal thaumic resonance matrix. Braham and I will be out of here in no time. Thanks!
- Have you found Scruffy's missing parts? Try looking in the chamber under the central island. There are bridges that will take you there. And please hurry. I'm running out of things to say to Braham.
- Felicitations, %str1%. Scruffy here got kicked around by the probes' defensive capabilities and I need to replace a few parts. Braham can't go because he's watching over me. Can you help?
- I learned the hard way that you can't get too close to Scarlet's probes without getting zapped. Scruffy lost some crucial components in the process, but he managed to get me here before he shut down.
- I can't collect the parts myself, and Braham here won't leave me unprotected. If you find any of Scruffy's parts, bring them to me and I'll do the rest.
- You're the best! Scruffy's autorepair will have him moving with enough time, but this will greatly expedite it. The probes were in a chamber below the central island. And again, thanks!
- Are those the golem parts Scruffy needs? You just made my day. Braham here is good company and stuff, but I absolutely hate sitting still. Now I can get Scruffy up and running again. Thanks!
- Can you help me out? My golem, Scruffy, broke down, and I have a hard time getting around without him. Can you help track down the parts I need to repair him?
- Scruffy's parts should be near Scarlet's probes in a chamber under the central island. Look for bridges that go down there. It'll be a snap for someone with your brainpower, right?
