Debroye 	I think I have it, [Player Name]─a method to infuse the panaloaf with a more alluring aroma!
Debroye 	The key is to blend a more fragrant oil into the dough, which will not only lend our bread a lovely scent, but also improve its savory flavor!
Debroye 	Oils and fats need to be kept to the absolute minimum, of course, so we'll need a variety that provides the greatest effect for the smallest amount.
Debroye 	I have a basic idea of how a low-fat aromatic substance might be achieved, but “oil” require your help with the advanced processes involved to make it. Sorry, that was terrible...
 	
Debroye 	Fragrant oil! That will be the secret ingredient in our fourth─and hopefully final─test batch!
 	
Debroye 	Oh, that's lovely! The scent of the oil alone is enough to set my belly to rumbling!
Debroye 	Gracious me, that smells incredible! I'm actually drooling. Once we work that aroma into the bread, people will be lining up to try a slice!
 	
Debroye 	We've done it, [Player Name]! The aromatic temptation of our fourth batch has proven irresistible─Last Stand patrons have even started placing orders for us to bake more.
Debroye 	And in a happy coincidence, the new oil also served to plump up our loaf until it resembles a small, scrumptious cloud.
Debroye 	I even measured the fat content just in case, and we are well within the accepted parameters. Surely now we've achieved true bakery perfection!
Debroye 	I suppose there's only one way to find out. Let's head over to the café and ask for Master Dickon's verdict!
Debroye 	Please, Master Dickon, don't leave us in suspense...
Dickon 	This is...unacceptable.
Dickon 	I cannot have you baking bread that's more delicious than mine! You've outdone yourselves this time. Full marks.
Debroye 	Yes!
Debroye 	Now that we have the master's unconditional approval, I believe that signals an end to our testing process. We make a wonderful team, [Player Name]!
Galveroche 	How disappointing to find you frittering away the hours like this, and here of all places...
Galveroche 	You set aside my assignment on digestive issues to pursue the trivial art of...of gourmet cooking!?
Debroye 	I'll not deny it! That is exactly what I've been doing.
Debroye 	And let me tell you why! The problem with panaloaf was never a difficulty with digestion─it was the awful taste that was making people feel ill!
Debroye 	Lest you believe our efforts in vain, then I ask that you try a sample of our fourth test batch. I think you'll find the flavor much improved.
Galveroche 	Nay, I have no interest in your mundane concerns over flavor. The very subject sickens me.
Galveroche 	What I will do, however, is analyze the nutritional value of your “much-improved” panaloaf. We shall see if it even meets the criteria for a proper meal substitute.
Galveroche 	I must inform you that your fourth test batch is a failure. It is sorely lacking in ascorbic acid─a vital nutrient which any prospective meal replacement must contain.
Galveroche 	Deficient levels of ascorbic acid lead to outbreaks of scurvy. 'Tis an illness which often afflicts sailors on long sea voyages, and can also be prevalent in times of famine and hardship.
Galveroche 	Citrus fruits are an effective measure to combat scurvy, but one cannot always rely on a fresh supply of oranges or lemons. As such, the perfect meal of choice is one which readily fulfills that role.
Galveroche 	I have already succeeded in adding this nutrient to my original panaloaf, and am prepared to make my submission to the Forum.
Debroye 	B-But, the acid? How did you...?
Galveroche 	You expect me to reveal my techniques to one who so blatantly disregarded my instructions? I am sorry, Miss Debroye, but you are hereby relieved from your current duty.
Debroye 	...So be it. I will perfect our version of panaloaf without your assistance, and submit the recipe as a contender to your own.
Galveroche 	A contest, then.
Galveroche 	And may the best bread win.
Galveroche 	However! In the event that your recipe fails to garner the Forum's favor, I will see you disciplined for the misuse of research funding. Your punishment will be expulsion from my research facility...nay, from the Studium itself.
Dickon 	Professor Galveroche. If you're so intent on ruining my employee's future, then I think I'm entitled to a question or two.
Dickon 	From what old Mervyn told me, the two of you were once classmates─more than that, you were good friends. So I'd like to understand: why do you hold so much hate for the thing he held so dear?
Galveroche 	Mervyn was an exceptional student...but he threw away his academic career for the love of a well-made meal.
Galveroche 	This café he built, the incessant “taste-testing”... Naught more than excuses to indulge in course after course of gourmet food and drink. 'Twas reckless pursuit of that passion which sent him to an early grave.
Galveroche 	Your “fine dining” is a curse. It befuddled the mind of a brilliant young man─slew him as surely as any slow-acting poison!
Galveroche 	Now, if you have nothing further to say, I must return to my research. Swift. Sure. Efficient...
Debroye 	I had no idea the professor and Mervyn were ever acquainted, let alone classmates and friends.
Debroye 	At least now I understand why my actions upset him so...
Debroye 	But we cannot give up! For the sake of Sharlayan's bellies, you must help me win the Forum's minds!
Debroye 	Thank you, [Player Name]! I shall figure out this issue with ascorbic acid, and then we can start on test batch number five. Although...
Debroye 	I think it's time we had a proper name for our panaloaf. I nominate “Mervynbread,” in honor of the Last Stand's founder.
Debroye 	Let's get the oven heated up, and show the professor what we─and our loaves─are made of!
