Dialogue[edit]
During The Lost Shores[edit]
- During prelude
- Head Researcher Levvi: I've shown you the evidence. My conclusions are inescapable. Why won't you listen to me?
- Magnus the Bloody-Handed: I have listened. In fact, I’m sick of listening to you. The council has already ruled on this.
- Magnus the Bloody-Handed: We're not shutting down the world's busiest port because a machine spat out some numbers that made your ears twitch.
- Magnus the Bloody-Handed: When Lion's Arch is in real danger, the Lionguard will respond. Until then, sling your hook and shove off!
- *Levvi walks back to her krewe's station.*
- Head Researcher Levvi: Big surprise: Magnus still won't act. He and his precious council only care about commerce.
- Head Researcher Levvi: He won't listen until those readings we've been taking manifest as something he can hit.
- Researcher Farrowyn: By then it may be too late. Thorns! What do we do?
- Head Researcher Levvi: We keep researching. Something's coming, something big, and someone has to prepare for it.
- Was there something you needed? I've got a lot to contend with right now. Research, politics, the price of magistatic fuses... There's a cavalcade of concerns in my cranium.
- What are you up to here?
- My team and I are studying oceanographic trends and biotheric wave patterns. Our data points to something big and bad about to happen.
- Wait...what kind of wave patterns?
- Biotherics is a field of study I am currently pushing to its limits. It measures the energy generated by a living creature. We're seeing some big, big waves.
- What do you think it means?
- I can't say just yet. But between these larger-than-life readings, the shipwrecks, and all the stuff washing up on the shore—whales and whatnot—I think it's worth a depper look.
- Are those the only readings? (Same as below)
- Have you warned the Captain's Council? (Same as below)
- I have more questions.
- Good luck with your research.
- Are those the only readings?
- I'm seeing a few hot spots with echoes of these big waves, but the readings are mostly focused here, near Lion's Arch.
- Have you warned the Captain's Council? (Same as below)
- That's unsettling. I hope you can figure it out.
- Have you warned the Captain's Council?
- Believe me, I tried. I can't even get into their supersecret chambers to address them. Magnus thinks I'm just a crank...which is okay, because I think he's just an oaf.
- I'd like to ask you something else.
- Alright, but hurry. Remember: cavalcade of concerns.
- What are you doing here in Lion's Arch? (Same as "What are you up to here?")
- Did you say Lion's Arch was in danger? (Same as below)
- You've got a remarkably diverse krewe. (Same as "Interesting krewe you've got there. Quite a diverse mix.")
- Never mind. I'll leave you to your work.
- Good luck convincing them.
- I have some questions. (Same as "I'd like to ask you something else.")
- Good luck sorting that out.
- I have a few questions. (Same as "I'd like to ask you something else.")
- Good luck sorting that out.
- Did I hear you say Lion's Arch was in danger?
- You did, because it is. I've got biotheric readings that are off the charts. That means something's out there, something big. And it's getting closer.
- What kind of readings? (Same as "Wait...what kind of patterns?")
- What do you think it is? (Same as "What do you think it means?")
- Are there any other readings? (Same as "Are those the only readings?")
- Have you warned the council? (Same as "Have you warned the Captain's Council?")
- Sounds scary. I hope you figure it out soon.
- Interesting krewe you've got there. Quite a diverse mix.
- It's only a krewe in an unofficial sense. I chose the members of my team based on their skill sets, not on what college they attended or how big their parents' ears were.
- I'd like to ask you something else. (Same as "I'd like to ask you something else.")
- Very progressive of you. I'll let you get back to work.
- Don't let me interrupt. I'll talk to you later.
- During Phase 1
- I was right about the karka, but I never thought being right could feel so bad. The only thing that will make me feel better is fixing this mess...and then rubbing Magnus's nose in my success.
- Here. Maybe this will help.
- Fantastic! This is just what I need—a powerful solvent and a piece of shell to test it on. My krewe's going to be busy...but in the meantime, I'd say you've earned this.
- Thanks very much. I'm just glad I could help.
- Let's fix it first. We can mock Magnus later.
- After Phase 1 initial invasion
- Head Researcher Levvi: Well, Magnus. I hate saying I told you so... Actually I love saying it to you, just not this time. Anyway: I told you so!
- Magnus the Bloody-Handed: Do you have anything constructive to say or are you just going to stand there spewing bilge water?
- Head Researcher Levvi: Well, based on its shell, I've named the creature Levvi's Leviathanus Carcinus, and...
- Magnus the Bloody-Handed: Fine. Inspector Kiel! Work with this asura to find out what has these "karka" creatures so riled up and put a stop to it. Permanently.
- Inspector Ellen Kiel: Aye, Captain Magnus, sir! Any idea where I should start looking?
- Magnus the Bloody-Handed: Look around, Inspector. Pick a shell and start kicking. The Lionguard is at your disposal. I have to go explain all this to the Ship's Council.
- During Phase 2
- Inspector Ellen Kiel: Take aim...and fire!
- *Trebuchet fires the solvent at the Ancient Karka, which is right near the trebuchet. It gets covered in the solvent, turns, and runs away.*
- Magnus the Bloody-Handed: Bear's fuzzy backside, it worked! Turned that beastie's shell into mush right before our eyes.
- Head Researcher Levvi: Don't sound so surprised. With proper research and planning, results like this come naturally.
- Magnus the Bloody-Handed: I'm not surprised, you bitter little pill, I'm elated. The karka's gone, scuttled off to who knows where, and now we know how to fight it.
- Inspector Ellen Kiel: Actually, sir, I think I know exactly where it went. Canach! Get over here and start sharing.
- Inspector Ellen Kiel: This sylvari has information on how this karka mess began. Start talking, Canach.
- Canach: Very well. Weeks ago, I sent an expedition to an unknown island to the south. They were to ready an asura gate as part of the Consortium's development plans.
- Canach: My team never returned. The gate remains inactive, and wreckage from their ship started washing up not long before the karka attacks began.
- Inspector Ellen Kiel: We think whatever Canach's crew did on that island provoked the karka. They struck back at the nearest possible target: us.
- Magnus the Bloody-Handed: You lost a ship and its entire crew weeks ago? And you're just telling us about it now? Your little secret put the entire city at risk.
- Subdirector Blingg: If I may, Captain: Canach works for the Consortium, not the city. He is contractually bound by our most comprehensive nondisclosure agreement.
- Subdirector Blingg: The Consortium has to protect its investments at every stage of development. It's a matter of commerce, I'm sure you understand.
- Magnus the Bloody-Handed: This intrigue can wait. What I want now is a detail sent after that karka. Track it back to its lair and kill it while it's licking its wounds.
- Subdirector Blingg: That island is private property. I cannot sign off on any military endeavor unless it includes a Consortium representative.
- Head Researcher Levvi: You'll need me and my krewe, too. Nobody knows more about the karka than we do.
- Magnus the Bloody-Handed: Kiel! As long as you kill that thing and prevent any future attacks, you can bring along as many of these idiots as you like. We'll sort out blame and punishment later.
- Inspector Ellen Kiel: Understood. Lionguard! Squad formation. Board the ships and get ready to fight. This time, we're on the offensive.
During Wintersday and Flame and Frost[edit]
- Sorry to be abrupt, but I have several lifetimes of research here, and only one life. Even without karka, this place is a treasure trove of flora and fauna.
- Isn't it dangerous?
- Sure, but the potential knowledge here is worth the risk. Besides, the Lionguard's here, and–thanks to me–they know how to handle karka.
- I'll leave you to it.
- I won't keep you then.
During Secret of Southsun[edit]
- I have several lifetimes of research here, but only one life. Even aside from the karka, this place is a treasure trove of rare flora and unique, if increasingly belligerent, fauna.
- What do you mean, "increasingly belligerent fauna?"
- Something is riling up the native wildlife. To figure out what, I need samples of local environmental anomalies. The more volunteers I get, the faster I get answers.
- What I can do to help you?
- I'll leave you to your work.
- What I can do to help you?
- Take one of my jury-rigged sample detectors and start scanning for and collecting useful samples for me.
- Give me one of your devices and I'll see what I can do.
- I don't have time for that, but good luck.
- Could I get another one of your sample detectors?
- I'll leave you to your work.
During Last Stand at Southsun[edit]
- I was right: the adrenal response of local wildlife has been tampered with. I just wish I felt happier about being right. We'll be trying to reverse the ecological effects here for a long time.
- What can be done about the wildlife here?
- I'm afraid those poor, crazed creatures are a menace to everyone on the island. I hate to say it, but we need to put them down. It's not my preferred solution, but lives are at stake.
- I understand. Good luck.
- What I can do to help you?
- Take one of my jury-rigged sample detectors and start scanning for and collecting useful samples for me.
- Give me one of your devices and I'll see what I can do.
- I don't have time for that, but good luck.
- Good luck with your work here.
