Hinageshi 	Oh, I am positively desperate to know what culture we shall experience next.
 	
Tankin 	Welcome back, my friend. We will be continuing our experience as Garleans a while longer, though I would like you to set about procuring materials for the next step in our research.
Tankin 	...Though to be honest, I've still to decide on where that step might be.
Hinageshi 	Well, thus far we have lived as people do in the freezing cold and the ferocious heat, so I would say it is time we set our sights on an altogether different sort of inclement environment.
Tankin 	Spot on as always, Hinageshi. The people of Garlemald may have overcome nature's fury with their sterling use of technology, but they are far too reliant on ceruleum.
Tankin 	Consider this: how would they cope if they were suddenly unable to obtain their precious fuel? One should never be without a contingency plan in case they are thrust into much less hospitable environs.
Hinageshi 	That is certainly true. However, what kind of culture could take root in an area that is effectively uninhabitable?
Tankin 	That is precisely what I have been mulling over of late, Hinageshi.
Tankin 	I wish to look into how exactly culture could come to exist in such places. The issue is, well...such regions tend to be uninhabited as a result of their harsh conditions. In short, there is nowhere that meets my criteria to begin with!
Hinageshi 	Inhabiting the uninhabitable... Yes it does seem to be something of a paradox, but there could be merit in investigating the idea.
Tankin 	You are a well-traveled adventurer, yes? Can you think of any place that may suit our curious criteria?
Tankin 	A settlement on the moon by the name of Mare Lamentorum? Well, that would certainly fulfill my requirements, but even if it truly exists, it's not as if one can travel to the moon on a whim.
Tankin 	...You're being entirely serious, aren't you? Good gracious, you never fail to surprise.
Hinageshi 	Indeed! However, I feel obliged to mention that we know absolutely nothing of life on the moon, assuming it is even possible.
Hinageshi 	Pray head to Mare Lamentorum and gather whatever items you believe are necessary to recreate life there.
 	
Tankin 	Honestly, is there anything you cannot do? I am starting to think we ought to study your way of life next.
 	
Hinageshi 	I don't suppose you would know how best to store items from the moon? I wish to avoid accidentally ruining any precious samples you acquire on our behalf.
 	
Hinageshi 	By the Twelve, you really are capable of travel to the moon! This may be the most surreal moment of my life to date...
Hinageshi 	By the Twelve, you really are capable of travel to the moon! I know nothing of life on its surface, but even at a glance I can recognize the outstanding quality of these samples.
Hinageshi 	These are...carrots, aren't they? Not what I expected to be found buried in the crust of the moon, but...thank you. Thank you very much!
Hinageshi 	These are...carrots, aren't they? Not what I expected to be found growing on the moon, but...thank you. Thank you very much!
 	
Hinageshi 	Professor... Are you certain this is representative of life on the moon?
Tankin 	But of course it is, Hinageshi. I cannot reveal my source, but I have it on excellent authority that this is how they go about their days up there.
Hinageshi 	Well, that may be so, but is it necessary for us to don these ridiculous outfits?
Tankin 	Alas, my source was somewhat vague concerning lunar clothing. However, I did my best to make up for it with a little imagination.
Tankin 	But of course it is, Hinageshi. My information comes from the Loporrits, a race that calls Mare Lamentorum home.
Hinageshi 	Well, that is all well and good, but is it necessary for us to don these ridiculous outfits?
Tankin 	I, er, well... I thought it might help us to experience life as the Loporrits do.
Hinageshi 	And as for all these carrots... Make no mistake, Professor, it is wonderful to know that agriculture is possible even on the moon.
Hinageshi 	But I fear a diet comprised entirely of one type of root vegetable will not hold up to scrutiny...
Tankin 	That may be so, but civilizations have had to move and adapt countless times throughout history, and they were not always able to eat exactly what they longed for. There may come a day when we too are forced to move to the moon.
Hinageshi 	The professor doesn't seem to be enjoying himself much. Perhaps he is not especially fond of carrots...
Hinageshi 	I realize this is not the most opportune time to focus on my romantic pursuits, but soon my time will come. I can feel it!
Hinageshi 	Hinageshi is overjoyed with your efforts. She now considers you an Experienced Matchmaker!
