Dialogue

You seem like someone with a keen interest in current events. These times are dire.

(If in Order of Whispers)

Ah, Agent <Character name>. It's good to see someone from the Order around these parts.

What brings you out here?

An agent - my partner - is undercover as a Flame Legion drudge. She's planting encrypted dead drops around Wayfarer Foothills and Diessa Plateau. Unfortunately, I can't collect them right now.

No problem, I'll do it.

Great! Here's a list of the dead-drop locations and a translation device. Once translated, the text is automatically scanned and sent to me.

All right, I'm off.

Why isn't the Order locating these drops?

My partner is undercover of her own volition, so our resources are lacking. We're stuck. I need the drop data, but I can't leave here in case my partner signals for emergency extraction.

No worries, I'll help you.

Great! Here's a list of the dead-drop locations and a translation device. Once translated, the text is automatically scanned and sent to me.

All right, I'm off.

Sounds tricky. Good luck.

I see. Good luck.

Sure are. See you.

Upon subsequent conversation, the following dialogue appears

Welcome back. My dead-drop records are incomplete, but we're getting there. Don't give up.

(If you have Sonic Periscope Audio Log in your inventory)

I think I found something. (Give audio log)

A log fragment from the mysterious sonic devices? Excellent work. With this intel in hand, we're one step closer to determining what our enemies are after.

Happy to help.

I lost my translator.

Oh. I see. Those are ... very expensive. Please try not to lose this one.

All right. Thanks.

I lost the locations list.

Right. Here's another list, and an extra decoder. Just in case. Try not to lose anything else.

Okay, thanks.

What was it you need me to do?

My partner is undercover and leaving encrypted notes at dead drops in Diessa Plateau and Wayfarer Foothills. I need you to find and translate them.

Can't. I lost my translator.

Oh. I see. Those are ... very expensive. Please try not to lose this one.

All right. Thanks.

Oops. I lost the locations list.

Right. Here's another list, and an extra decoder. Just in case. Try not to lose anything else.

Okay, thanks.

Got it, thanks.

I'm on it.

After finding all the encrypted dead drops in Diessa Plateau and Wayfarer Foothills

Excellent work, <Character name>. What Agent Aebolla uncovered about the Molten Alliance is extremely valuable. We should be able to find an infiltration point. One step closer to rescuing those prisoners.

Of course, Agent Brandubh.

Sorry, I'm afraid I don't have time to chat at the moment.

Sorry to bother you.
