- What are you afraid might happen?
- I'm afraid she might open the gate that leads into Calx's lost lab.
- Who is Calx?
- I thought Calx sealed his lab before he died.
- Calx was the genius whose research into magical frequencies laid the groundwork for modern asura gating. His lab was thought lost until Parnna discovered an ancient sealed gate.
- Then wouldn't the discovery of his lab be a good thing?
- Calx eventually lost control of his discovery, causing a fissure to open in the ground. Destroyers poured from the rift, driving the asura aboveground. I worry opening the gate may release those destroyers.
- I hope you prove to be wrong.
- Researcher Parnna has found a sealed gate she believes may lead to his lab. She's working to unseal it now.
- But what about the accident?
- If the fissures his experiments opened in the lab are still there, the destroyers it released might escape through the unsealed gate.
- The last time they drove us aboveground. Where else is there to go?
- I would be careful around here if I were you. Events may soon turn dire.
- I am ready to face the unfaceable.
- Uhh...what does that mean?
- Never mind. What has you so scared?
- Forget it. You talking all strange...I don't think I should say anymore.
- I'll leave you to your mysterious worry. Good-bye.
- Yes, yes! I remember you—you good person. You can have shiny.
- The pack beast is chewing its cud while waiting to be loaded with building materials.
- Stack lumber on the beast's back.
- Inspired to victory over Mordremoth, I hope.
- Commander. Satisfied with the work our crews are doing on camp facilities?
- I think I've got one.
- Hey-hey! You strong, have to help. Bad men took shinies and made into boom machines. Very bad. Need boom-things destroyed so skritt can get shinies back.
- As always, Centurion. Carry on.
- Your people do fine work, Centurion. Carry on.
- Welcome to our own little corner of Camp Resolve, Commander.
- So you've claimed this land for the queen, hm?
- You humans are so territorial.
- What are you doing about it now?
- We're patrolling the area to draw out any would-be ambushers before they can get the jump on us.
- Thanks, Seraph.
- Didn't mean to disturb you. Bye.
- My coworkers and I study nature and its organic properties to advance our own technology.
- So you experiment on plants and animals?
- Sounds kind of boring. See you.
- Now, don't get the wrong impression—we're not Inquest here. We don't hurt anything. Rather, we observe it.
- Care to expand on that?
- That's good. Nature shouldn't suffer for science.
- Good. We can't sacrifice our morals.
- Why don't you ask Zegg? He has the patience to explain it.
- I'll do that. Thanks.
- Could you tell me about what you do here?
- Yes, indeed! (laugh) Long live the queen. So, are you coming with us?
- Of course! I'm always happy to educate others. Here at Aethervolt, we observe the sources nature draws upon for energy and power, and try to reproduce them through technological means.
- Like what?
- Hmph! I won't be spoken to like a child.
- A green approach to science. Nice.
- For example, a photosynthetic armor could help many soldiers by healing itself when damaged. And imagine if we could harness steam! Control crystals would become obsolete.
