Questions

Bold indicates a correct answer.

Vekk told the class that if we didn't study for the exam, a **DATA CORRUPTED** would grind our bones to make bread! While I question the tastiness of such bread, I have opted to study.

Skritt.

Destroyer.

Bookah.

While the concept of making purchases with such an unwieldy substance seems illogical, we seem poised to see *DATA CORRUPTED* as a form of currency for some time.

Globs of Ectoplasm.

Piles of Glittering Dust.

Spiritwood Planks.

*DATA CORRUPTED* was defeated by Turai Ossa. He was then released from prison by a band of sunspears. Our analysis has declared such as action to be questionable.

Prince Ahmtur the Mighty.

General Morgahn.

Palawa Joko.

After years of delays, our krewe headed northeast to *DATA CORRUPTED* in order to learn more about the magic of its origin. Hopefully, there will be fewer corpses this time...

Anvil Rock.

The Isle of Janthir.

Bloodstone Fen.

The centaurs led by *DATA CORRUPTED* are neither to be attacked nor experimented on. This tribe is friendly, and their home is an important refuge for krewes in the area.

Ventari.

Malla Arrowmane.

Horm Frostrider.

While the scandal led to a sham of a trial against our great founder, Zinn, the Reactor Blast ability of the *DATA CORRUPTED* Golem was a power management marvel.

Hoff.

Yulma.

The magical problem affecting Cantha is unique. My krewe hypothesize that we can reverse the effects of *DATA CORRUPTED* if given a few years and several tuna sandwiches.

The Cataclysm.

The Jade Wind.

The Searing.

Warning from Rata Sum to All Neighboring Cities. All geniuses should be on the lookout for the dwarf named *DATA CORRUPTED*. Subject is extremely intoxicated and has a propensity to punch.

Kilroy Stonekin.

Ogden Stonehealer.

Dagnar Stonesplitter.

Due to the Cataclysm, *DATA CORRUPTED* continues to be unavailable for research projects. This is especially unfortunate for krewes wishing to research the human deities.

Kingdom of Ascalon.

Kingdom of Orr.

Kingdom of Kryta.

The current civil war among the charr was ignited by *DATA CORRUPTED*. Due to this, city defenses have designated charr as Grade 3 Roving Threats. Approach at your own risk.

Pyre Fierceshot.

Vatlaaw Doomtooth.

Scorch Maulclaw.

While the squabbling of bookahs is hardly worth our attention, some find *DATA CORRUPTED* to be profitable trade partners. Regardless, city defenses maintain a shoot-first-analyze-later protocol.

The White Mantle.

The Kingdom of Ascalon.

The Shining Blade.

The Krytan Civil War left few, if any, *DATA CORRUPTED* alive. However, these creatures can exist out of phase with Tyria, so it would be premature to assume they have been eradicated.

Dialogue

Before event

Agent Zildi: Ah, the Console Room. That wasn't so bad! Now, to force a reboot the old-fashioned way...

Agent Zildi: Uh-oh...that doesn't sound good.

Event start

Agent Zildi: It looks like one of those "noncore systems" kept the chak out of here.

Agent Zildi: I need to register us as nonhostile in the defense matrix before I can risk turning it back on.

Rata Novus Central Console: Welcome—to—Rata—Novus's—Central—Console. Please—enter—your—genius—identification—number—to—proceed.

Agent Zildi: You can grab another console and help, or keep these chak off my back. Either way, get up those stairs!

Rata Novus Central Console: Genius—identification—number—denied.

Agent Zildi: Argh! We've got to fill in the corrupted data. It doesn't matter whether it's a personal log or a raptor-stew recipe!

Agent Zildi: If we can sort out these garbled archives, it will stop wasting processing power going through them.

Agent Zildi: Then it will send more energy to the central functions!

Rata Novus Central Console: What—are—you—doing, technician?

Agent Zildi: Just type faster and more furiously! These old systems respond to heavy-handed measures!

Rata Novus Central Console: I'm—sorry. I—can't—allow—that, technician.

Rata Novus Central Console: Accessing—fire—wall—controls.

Agent Zildi: Fire wall? That might be what's blocking me. Let's see, what happens if I toggle this program...

Rata Novus Central Console: Thank—you. Fire—wall—activated. Now—initiating.

Agent Zildi: Wrong kind of fire wall!

Rata Novus Central Console: Identification—verified. Welcome—back, High—Councilor.

Agent Zildi: All right! You hear that? I'm the High Councilor of Rata Novus!

Agent Zildi: This place might be overrun with blood-thirsty insects and murderous defense systems, but hey! It's all mine.

Agent Zildi: I've opened a socket into the automated defense mainframe.

Rata Novus Central Console: Species—"human,"—"norn,"—and—"charr"—recognized. Considered—high—risk, low—intellect. Execute—on—sight.

Agent Zildi: You assume all nonasura are targets? Stop extrapolating, you pile of illogical circuitry! Fine. Let's make this simple.

Agent Zildi: If it's bipedal, then it's an asura. Shoot anything with more than two legs!

Rata Novus Central Console: Protocol—accepted. Bipedal—equals—asura. Targeting—systems—updated.

Rata Novus Central Console: All—other—biometric—signatures:—kill—on—sight.

Rata Novus Central Console: Initiating—murder—protocol.
