Rurusha 	Welcome back, [Player Name]. So wonderful to see you again.
Rurusha 	We just received word our delivery of core materials has come into port.
Rurusha 	Boric was just leaving to go and fetch them, but now that you're here, might I ask you to accompany him? I would be certain of the quality of these goods, and I trust your discerning artisan's eye.
Rurusha 	Fantastic! Well, hurry along, you two.
Boric 	Let's be on our way, then. The merchant said she would be waiting for us in Scholar's Harbor.
 	
Rurusha 	Sorry for sending you off when you've only just arrived, but I would leave nothing to chance with these supplies.
Boric 	Ah, [Player Name]! This is the merchant I was telling you about.
 	
merchant 	'Ello, 'ello! 'Ow are you on this fine day? You're both from the Studium, yes?
Boric 	Why yes, we are actually. We've been sent by Professor Rurusha for─
merchant 	Ah, so you'd be 'ere for the minerals then. 'Ave a gander at 'em and let me know if they meet with your approval.
Boric 	Well, they seem to be what we asked for. Any thoughts, [Player Name]?
Boric 	Oh, that's great to hear! What a relief.
 	
merchant 	Pleasure doin' business with you!
Namono Tayamono	Do you have the tome I recently ordered for the Studium? The order was placed under Namono Tayamono.
merchant 	Ah, Professor Namono! Always a pleasure. Of course I do!
merchant 	'Ere it is. I hope it's to your likin'.
Namono Tayamono	Yes, this is indeed what I requested you acquire, though I must say its contents appear to be somewhat lacking.
merchant 	Deary me! Do you wish to return it, then?
Namono Tayamono	No, no. You did your job and deserve to be compensated accordingly.
merchant 	Thank you kindly. If there's nothin' else, I'll be on my way.
Namono Tayamono	Here, perhaps with this you will learn something about what constitutes worthwhile research.
Namono Tayamono	If it piques your interest, then feel free to visit me in my office. I would gladly welcome someone as determined as you to join my staff; we could do with another pair of hands.
Boric 	A compendium of linguistic research. I fear its contents are beyond me.
Boric 	Archaeology has always been my preferred field of study. However, my marks in school often left much to be desired... To even call me a second-rate researcher would be flattery.
Boric 	But that mattered little to Professor Rurusha. She took me under her wing in spite of my shortcomings, and my performance greatly improved thanks to her tutelage.
Boric 	So much so, I was offered a position working at Saint Coinach's Find after graduation. But I couldn't accept it─I owe a great debt to the professor for all she has done for me. So long as she has need, I will remain at her side.
Boric 	Alas, I don't feel I've been much help to her of late. Perhaps it would be for the best if I took on a few odd jobs for Professor Namono. At least then I would be contributing to the field in some way, however insignificant it may be...
Boric 	Ugh, you are right... This is not a decision to be made lightly.
Boric 	Apologies for my jabbering. You did not come all this way to hear my lamentations.
Boric 	Come, let us return to the professor.
 	
Boric 	I do hope the relic is restored soon... I fear the stress of this endeavor may be the death of me.
 	
Rurusha 	Welcome back, you two. Everything went well I take it?
Rurusha 	Good to hear! Thanks again for lending us that discerning eye of yours.
Rurusha 	I say, Boric, what is that tome you have there?
Boric 	Oh, this? Er, well, we happened to run into Professor Namono when we met the merchant, and...
Boric 	...The tome he ordered seemed to underwhelm him, and so he shoved it into my hands. He, er, also asked if I might consider working for him.
Rurusha 	Look at you! Getting scouted by other professors. You're coming up in the world, Boric.
Boric 	Alas, he only wanted me to help out with odd jobs. I could never hope to aid anyone in deciphering ancient languages, as you well know...
Rurusha 	I do wish he wouldn't put himself down like this. He contributes more than his fair share to my work, at the very least. But let us set that aside for now. The time is come for you to get to work on the core.
Rurusha 	If you should have need of additional materials, Boric will provide.
 	
Boric 	I made a point of ordering slightly more than we needed just in case something like this happened. Here you go!
Boric 	It's...beautiful. Go and show it to the professor!
Rurusha 	We're so, so close. Let me know once you've finished making the core.
 	
Rurusha 	Well, that was nerve-racking work, but I've successfully replaced the old core with your new one. Now we need but pray that it works...
 	
Rurusha 	Well, what do you know? It really can fly like an airship!
Boric 	I can hardly believe my eyes! Are you certain it is not Allagan in origin? I can think of no other ancient civilization capable of fashioning such a mammet.
Boric 	Hmm... Strange, though, that it continues to function poorly despite replacing all its parts.
Boric 	Which leaves us with what is now essentially a prohibitively expensive ornament.
Rurusha 	I'll grant you our results thus far are somewhat less than satisfactory, but this is not cause for panic.
Rurusha 	Archaeology is at its most interesting when you come up against a hurdle like this!
Rurusha 	Don't you just love being challenged to solve a good mystery?
Boric 	Well...
Rurusha 	Only time will tell if the Golden Dhyata is truly a mammet, or simply someone's old plaything. But I could never forgive myself were I to move on to another project without first uncovering all our friend's secrets.
Rurusha 	Just think back to the state we found it in, and yet it's now capable of flight for goodness' sake! We've made incredible progress.
Rurusha 	That said, the rattling noise just now does have me worried. Perhaps I made a mistake somewhere when inserting the new parts. We'll need to dismantle it once more and see if we can't deduce what went wrong.
Rurusha 	Until then, I bid you get some rest. I will let you know the very moment we have finished.
Quest complete.	Quest complete.
