Dialogue[edit]
Talk with Seraph Captain Renata:
- Seraph Captain Renata: What can I help you with, traveler?
- Actually, yes. He seemed to be talking to Parkyr Vellon, one of the merchants I see around here from time to time. I think I saw them head west.
- Thanks, I'll go look for him.
Have you seen an asura named Mink around? Probably had couple of golems with him, very self-important?
Meet up with Zojja:
- Zojja: I saw your flare. Nice work. Now let's see if we can talk some sense into that idiot Mink.
Talking with Zojja:
- Mink the Fink's here somewhere. I almost feel sorry for whatever bookah's buying his inventions.
- We'd better hurry.
Cutscene when locate Mink:
- <Character name>: Stop! You can't sell those golems. They're defective and dangerous.
- Parkyr Vellon: You were supposed to come alone, Mink. Who's this? And what was that about my merchandise being "defective"?
- Mink: Uh, pay them no mind, Mr. Vellon. Those are rivals of mine, looking to...derail our transaction. Just give me a moment.
- Mink: What are you doing here, and why are you trying to ruin my deal? Just because I improved your design—
- Zojja: Quiet, you hack. Your golem is like a bomb waiting to go off. Didn't you hear about the people it already killed?
- Mink: Even if I believed you, progress demands sacrifice! Step aside. I've got a demonstration to make, and I'm not letting you spoil it.
Observe Mink's business pitch:
- Zojja: Idiot. Okay, Savant, stand by: this demonstration of his could get us all killed.
- Mink: Now behold, Mr. Vellon, as my golem loads up your cart with...what's in these casks, again?
- Parkyr Vellon: They're full of...wine. Nothing but fine wine from Beetletun.
- Mink: Very good, sir. VAL-A! Load Mr. Vellon's cart with these casks of wine, and be quick about it!
- VAL-A Golem: Affirmative. Baggage—handling—sequence: activated.
- VAL-A Golem: Handling—baggage. Handling—bag...bagging—handle...hagging—bandle...bandle...hag...bandy—haggle... (explodes)
- Parkyr Vellon: My cart bull! What have you done, Mink?
- Zojja: That's some powerful stuff you've got there, Mr. Vellon. I didn't know Beetletun made weapons-grade wine.
- Parkyr Vellon: Cute. Mink, as far as I'm concerned, you, your friends, and this deal are a total loss.
- Parkyr Vellon: Boys, time to cut some losses. Put these bunny-eared freaks in the ground.
Defeat the bandit guards:
- Mink: Don't kill me! I've got so much to give!
- Zojja: The golems explode on ignition. We can use that against these thugs!
- Mr. Sparkles: Defensive—protocols—online.
- Parkyr Vellon: Quick now...protect me and kill them!
- Parkyr Vellon: What's wrong with you idiots? Can't take out a few measly asura? They're wee and fragile!
- Parkyr Vellon: Kill them! Kill them or I'll be next! And then it's your turn!
Defeat Parkyr Vellon:
- Parkyr Vellon: Let's do this!
- Zojja: Nobody attacks me!
Final cutscene:
- Mink: Er...thanks for saving my life. Who'd have guessed that a murderous smuggler like Vellon would turn on me?
- Zojja: Everyone but you. Besides, with all that extra power cells you crammed in that golem, you're lucky it didn't explode in your face.
- <Character name>: Wait. It blew up, but it didn't go haywire. Were we wrong? Was Keppa the one we wanted after all?
- Mink: Keppa? Hah! Her golems are nothing but skritt junk glued together with mucilage! They fall apart after two steps.
- Zojja: Mink's a brainless toad, but he does have a point.
- Zojja: I think I know what to look for now. Let me run a few tests back in my lab. Meet me there and we can explore my new theory.
