Dialogue

That should do it. I'm ready to set up my machine. This is going to be exciting. Amazing. Hope I live to see it. (if escort event is available)

I've developed a new machine that takes complete control of the ghosts. Once I finish these final preparations, I'll just need help setting it up. (otherwise)

Me too. Let's go and set it up. (if escort event is available)

What does the machine do?

I call it the "ghost control machine". I basically added a few modifications to a regular ghost containment unit. Now it emits a sound at an ethereal level that the ghosts can't resist.

Sound interesting. I'll help. (if escort event is available)

So it just paralyzes the ghosts?

Any charr with a screwdriver and a containment unit can paralyze a ghost. I…am an artist. You'll have to wait for the big unveiling to see how it works.

Then I'll watch your back while you do. Let's go. (if escort event is available)

And nothing can go wrong?

Well, if the ghosts do enough damage, the machine will break down. (if escort event is available)

Well, if the ghosts do enough damage, the machine will break down. And it runs on a limited power source, so it'll eventually stop on its own. But until then... well, you'll see. (otherwise)

Then let's go set it up. (if escort event is available)

But if it doesn't kill them, what good does it do?

We were stationed here to eliminate ghosts. But since there's no way to get rid of them permanently, my machine neutralizes them at least temporarily to give the soldiers a break.

Then let's go set it up. (if escort event is available)

I see. Thanks for the explanation.

Okay, I'll let you get back to work then.

Then I should let you get back to work.

Sounds like you need to concentrate. I'll leave you alone.

Why do you need this machine? (if escort event is available) (Same as "We were stationed here to eliminate...")

But if it just paralyzes them, what good does it do? (otherwise) (Same as "We were stationed here to eliminate...")

Wish I could stay to see it, but I have to go. (if escort event is available)

Sounds like a great idea. I'll come back later to see it in action. (otherwise)

During the event

Ah, good. I need someone to keep the ghosts away while I set up my machines. Once I get them set up, the ghosts won't be a problem. But until then, they'll be on me like ghosts on a charr.

Let's go. I'll cover you.

When the event is finished

My ghost control machine is a masterpiece. Just look at the ghosts. They're under its control!

Ghost control machine?

It used to be a regular ghost containment unit but I did a little tinkering. Now it emits a sound at an ethereal level that the ghosts can't resist.

That's incredible. And the ghosts can't do anything about it?

No...unless they can do enough damage to make it break down. The machine also runs on limited power, so once the juice runs out, the machine shuts down.

I understand. Thanks for the explanation.

That's great, keep up the good work.

Good work.

Trivia

• At one point while setting up the second machine, Rhell sings the following line: "Oh, the hip bone's connected to the ankle bone." This is a reference to the Skeleton Dance in the game Monkey Island 2, where one puzzle involves skeletons which have their bones connected in weird ways.
