Livingway 	If you're too busy to show us the sights, we'll find other ways to keep ourselves amused, don't you worry.
 	
Growingway 	Crikey! I wasn't expecting to see you here, [Player Name]!
Growingway 	I'm sorry I didn't have a chance to say good-bye. And for, uh, having those other Loporrits attack you. Terrible misunderstanding, that.
Growingway 	Not to worry, though, as all have since recovered from the rather savage beating you administered. They bear you no ill will! Well, perhaps a little, on account of the savagery, but time heals all wounds! Most, anyway.
 	
Singingway 	Hum hum-hummm～♪
What joy to sample the delights of Etheirys!
 	
Cookingway 	How marvelous it is to see you again! You will be pleased to hear I've learned much since our fascinating discussion at the Carrotorium.
Cookingway 	It's all thanks to Urianger, you see. He's taught me the finer points of cooking, which, despite my name, I knew very little about. So many dishes, so many hard-to-pronounce words!
Cookingway 	Actually, I was rather hoping he'd show me how to bake an Archon loaf. They're quite popular, I hear, though it doesn't sound like it contains any flavor to speak of. Still, if that's the sort of thing your kind enjoys, I shall make enough to last the whole journey!
 	
Urianger 	A tour of Labyrinthos? Hmm... An unexpected, yet prudent suggestion...
Urianger 	Given the similarities betwixt this artificial environment and Bestways Burrow, 'twould be in our best interests to have the Loporrits acquaint themselves with those conditions deemed optimal by their Sharlayan collaborators.
Urianger 	I fear, however, that continued reliance upon my limited knowledge would risk narrowing, rather than broadening, their perspectives. Mayhap thou art better suited to lead this venture?
Singingway 	What a marvelous idea! Might we begin with that great, big wotsit over yonder?
Urianger 	Ah, yes. The wotsit. I shall leave its explanation to [Player Name]. <chuckle>
 	
Urianger 	The Loporrits' technical expertise doth far outstrip our own. We would be wise to allow them to form their own conclusions as to the function of the various apparatus, rather than offer uninformed suppositions of our own.
Urianger 	Unless, that is, unbeknownst to me, thou art possessed of surpassing knowledge concerning the construction and operation of advanced Sharlayan─ahem─wotsits?
 	
Livingway 	Considering Singingway and Growingway's specialties, I expect them to pay full attention to your explanations, which I am sure will be most informative!
 	
Growingway 	My word! What magnificent architecture! Such immaculate curvature!
Growingway 	I'll have to make several adjustments to my work if I'm to match this degree of craftsmanship! I shall leave no corner unrounded!
 	
Cookingway 	This is all very intriguing, I'm sure, but where are the food preparation stations? The, uh...what was your word for it...kitchens?
Cookingway 	That reminds me─ Puddingway, our newly appointed chief of pudding research (a discipline he himself founded after sampling Urianger's delights), has gone in search of Etheirys's ultimate sweet treat. Well, provided it's a pudding, as that's all he ever talks about these days. Have you seen him?
 	
Singingway 	Goodness me! To build something so large without creation magicks...is positively stupendous!
Singingway 	Perhaps you could direct our attention to its most important features?
 	
Singingway 	Splendid! The perfect spot from which to view this astonishing apparatus!
 	
Singingway 	Well, if I were to hazard a guess, water drawn from underground─presumably with some other mechanism─is purified here and stored in that tower before being distributed elsewhere.
Singingway 	I'm right, aren't I?
Singingway 	I knew it! A design brilliant in its simplicity. I daresay it would take only a moment to install in even the harshest of environments. For us Loporrits, that is!
Livingway 	Indeed, securing a reliable source of water is of the utmost importance for any fledgling settlement.
Singingway 	We have read, however, that peoples of Etheirys sometimes make their homes in arid deserts and such. How are they able to survive?
 	
Singingway 	So wherever you choose to live, you're never far from water...
Growingway 	Oh dear... I worry we won't be able to procure the necessary amount!
Growingway 	We can provide enough water to keep them from drying out completely, but it would appear they rely on it far more than we'd anticipated!
Singingway 	Hmm... A few adjustments may be in order, once we've calculated the average rate of consumption per individual...
Singingway 	It may also be worth learning more about how exactly they obtain their water in the first place.
Urianger 	Master Alphinaud spoke of the machinery responsible for that feat during our journey through Logistikon Alpha, did he not?
Urianger 	Mayhap the Loporrits will share his appreciation for the engineering marvel.
Singingway 	Oh, yes! That sounds absolutely splendid!
Urianger 	We must journey beyond the sanctuary of Sharlayan Hamlet. I shall lead the way.
Growingway 	Y-You mean we'll have to brave the untamed wilderness!?
Livingway 	A valid concern indeed. We could not help but notice the many dangerous-looking creatures with big, nasty teeth lurking beyond the safe confines of this settlement.
Livingway 	Were we not escorted here by burly custodians, I dread to think what would have become of us!
Urianger 	Regrettably, to many a hungry predator with the aforementioned big, nasty teeth, Loporrits may appear to be a potential and rather appetizing source of sustenance...
Urianger 	Might I impose upon thee to assist in securing safe passage to Logistikon Alpha?
Urianger 	For my part, I shall act as escort to Livingway and Cookingway. I entrust Singingway and Growingway to thy care.
Urianger 	A more valiant protector they could not wish for. Godsspeed.
Singingway 	If it's all the same to you, I'd rather not be eaten by some horrid beastie.
Singingway 	Come along, Growingway. To the water extraction wotsit!
 	
Growingway 	I've a feeling the way forward is not as clear as we'd like... Could you go and take a look?
 	
Singingway 	Perhaps you could tell the local beasties we're not nearly as delicious as we might appear!?
 	
Singingway 	I say! That fiend had a mind to feast on roasted Loporrit!
 	
Growingway 	Th-Thank you so m-much...
Growingway 	I really hope this water extraction wotsit is worth these harrowing experiences!
Growingway 	All part of the fun, some might say, but I'd rather not be burnt to a crisp, if it's all the same to you!
 	
Livingway 	You've done well to see those two here safely. They can be a bit skittish at the best of times, so I'm pleasantly surprised they didn't run off and get themselves killed!
 	
Growingway 	That was all very exciting, but I'd rather not do it again... Wait. How exactly were we planning to head back later?
 	
Singingway 	Let's get moving! That building looks nice and solid and safe!
 	
Cookingway 	I couldn't help noticing a distinct lack of carrots along the way. Or many of the other vegetables I was expecting to see, though I did catch a glimpse of some sort of bipedal tomato charging about. Must be my imagination.
 	
Urianger 	My friends, I bid you welcome to Logistikon Alpha.
Urianger 	Our destination doth lie at the lift's top. Pray, follow me.
 	
Urianger 	On this occasion, 'twould behoove us to seek the counsel of those qualified to describe the workings of the apparatus. They may also be in possession of schematics or other useful documentation, should the Loporrits request them.
Urianger 	As the Forum's esteemed guests, 'tis unlikely that they would be refused, yet thou knowest as well as I the changeable dispositions of Sharlayan bureaucrats.
 	
Livingway 	As I understand, places like Labyrinthos are the exception, rather than the rule. You don't all build enormous, underground living spaces like this, surely?
 	
Growingway 	That was terrifying, but at least the scenery was more pleasant than wossname...Garlemald! As a first impression of Etheirys, it was far from favorable.
Growingway 	Anyway, onwards and upwards! Quite literally, as is the case here!
 	
Cookingway 	Forgive me for asking, but are we any closer to the kitchens? Come to think of it, why am I even here? Atmospheric manipulators are hardly my area of expertise.
 	
Singingway 	Marvelous! Simply marvelous! So, this is where the magic─or science, rather─takes place! The perfect environment to sustain life, artificially created!
Singingway 	The knowledge we'll gain here will be essential when we start looking for new stars for your kind to inhabit. Apparently, most of them don't even have air for you to breathe!
Singingway 	You're all very lucky that Etheirys just so happens to provide everything you need to thrive. Or did mankind turn out the way they are because of the available resources, I wonder?
Singingway 	Either way, it's nothing short of miraculous! And I cannot wait to see more of it!
