The Desert Wind

1. One day, Mint comes to talk to you about the next big project related to development of South Block.

▶️
  Mint: Good Morning! Me again. I have been meaning to talk to you - I promise that there will be no misadventures this time around. Albert has asked me to hook up South Block to Portia's power grid. But it turns out that the grid can't support South Block without shorting all the fuses.
▶️
 ...That means we're going to have to find another way to generate electricity for the new town. The Mayor suggested we add another power station over there, but that'll really stretch Portia's Power Stone supplies.
▶️
 ...After some consideration, I think we should try wind-power. The strong winds coming in from the sea should be able to sustain several generators in the Eufaula Heights area.
▶️
 I know they use lots of these in Highwind, but it's not like we have the budget to import any. Do you think you can build a few for us?

▶️  Mint: TBD
▶️  Mint: TBD

2. Visit Petra to find out if she is aware of any technology that can get this job done. She agrees to look into it, but after some time, she will send you a letter:

 I'm sorry, I wasn't able to complete the research on how to build a wind generator just yet, even with Merlin's help. We're lacking a vital piece of information, and that is how to get the rotational speed of the generator up to capacity. The current rotor speed calculations won't give us enough electrical current. I'll continue with the research to see if I can get this solved. If I remember correctly, Phyllis is from Highwind, maybe she knows something we don't.
3. Visit with Phyllis to see what she knows:

File:NAME.wav
  Phyllis: Wind power? For South Block? I'd love to help you out, but I'm not exactly on talking terms with my family. Besides, they're silversmiths. I'm not sure how much help they'd be, hehe. You should be talking with Nora instead. Her family owns the Highwind Electric Company, so I'm pretty sure she knows everything there's to know about generators.

4. When you find Nora and speak to her, she starts to tell you what she knows, but Lee interrupts.

File:NAME.wav
  Lee: Wait, Nora! I've heard what's going on. Nora, you cannot help with this corrupted project!
File:NAME.wav
  Nora: But!
File:NAME.wav
  Lee: Nora, you became a missionary because of your family's position on technology, right? If you help with this, how are you different from them? That's all I'm going to say on this subject. You need think about it and decide.
File:NAME.wav
  Nora: Minister Lee...

File:NAME.wav  Nora: Yes, I came on this mission because I strongly believe that what my family's doing isn't right. My father runs a major business in Highwind, and his company makes machines of war. Now I'm not naive enough to think that we don't need any weapons at all - but after 300 years of darkness, it makes me mad that the first thing we do once we get back on our feet is start shooting at each other.
File:NAME.wav  Nora: Generators are just a type of relics that we dig up from the ruins. On one hand they can give us power, and I am truly thankful for it, but they can also be utilized for war. I've seen my family install generators directly into armored planes.

You tell Nora that it's all right if she can't help and that you'll find another way to complete the project. Though Nora is a missionary for the Church of the Light and therefore distrusts most research of relics, she says:

File:NAME.wav
  Nora: No, I think the Minister is wrong in this instance. I know you're doing this for the benefit of Portia. Petra's missing piece is a gear box device, I'll go tell her about it. You just wait for the diagram.
File:NAME.wav
  Player: TBD
File:NAME.wav
  Nora: Don't worry, the Minister will come around once he sees the result.

5. Soon, Petra will send you a letter with a new diagram:

 Thanks to the help of Nora, a surprising source of information, I was able to finish the diagram for the Wind Turbine, it's attached.
6. Assemble 3 Wind Turbines and place them in the designated locations near the Bassanio Falls on the Eufaula Desert side of the Portia River.
