Lv50. A Scale's Tale

==Conversation==
===Accepting the Quest===
Envoy
: You tell Penny that Anya had asked you to lend her a hand.
Penny
: "Oh good! I was hoping she'd ask you to!"
: "So you remember those Arachnids you brought me? Based on the evidence, the logical conclusion is that they're from the Candeo Core."
Envoy
: You nod. You remember the evidence pointing to them originating from a dark cave. The Candeo Core was, really, the only place that made sense.
Penny
: "We managed to find an ecology survey from five or so years ago that detailed creatures living in and around the Candeo Core. The bugs certainly seem similar... give or take a few hundred to a few thousand years worth of evolution."
Envoy
: You ask Penny what she means.
Penny
: "Something is causing the creatures around here to evolve far faster than they should be. It pretty much explains, well, everything that's going on!"
: "I need to do what I can do to confirm this, so I was hoping you'd be able to bring me some Sarpa scales. If I could examine them, I'd be able to see the scale of the physical changes they've undergone."
===In Progress===
Penny
: "Please get me some Sarpa scales so I can investigate their changes."
===Completing the Quest===
Envoy
: You hand the scales to Penny.
Penny
: Penny begins testing a scale immediately: measuring it, applying chemicals to it, looking at it with a magnifying glass, and even smelling it. She works with amazing swiftness, cross comparing with notes she has on the table.
: "Like I thought. The changes in the Arachnids and Sarpa are quite similar: they are clearly evolving at an incredibly accelerated rate. Worse, these changes are making them more aggressive and causing them to expand their territory."
Envoy
: You think you know the answer already, but you ask Penny what she thinks could be causing this.
Eidolon
: "By controlling the Cube of Gaia."
Envoy
: Both you and Penny are silent for a moment.
Penny
: "Go tell Anya about all this. She is eager to hear my conclusions."
