Dialogue[edit]

If you haven't earned Canyon Jumping
Whoa, stop right there! Let me get a good look at you. Yes, we could use someone like you around here. Get a little better with your raptor—at least good enough to jump canyons—and come back!
Talk end option tango.png Sure. I'll come back later.
After learning Canyon Jumping
Renown Heart empty (map icon).png You here to work? The ranch is running pretty well, but we can always use another strong set of hands.
Talk more option tango.png I'm here about the stolen skimmers. What can you tell me? (only after completing the Path of Fire story)
Renown Heart empty (map icon).png Thank you, Commander. Please, I need those skimmers back. Sibaha's selfish act of thievery is unconscionable!
Talk more option tango.png Why would she steal from the ranch?
Renown Heart empty (map icon).png She was always experimenting without my permission, risking the lives of a species that's nearly endangered already. Strange diets, unproven methods, odd training techniques...
Talk more option tango.png So you fired her. Any idea where she went?
Renown Heart empty (map icon).png Yes. I had to protect my investment. And this was her retaliation. I don't know where she went, but to get far, she'd have to go Amnoon Harbor for supplies first. Can you track her down?
Talk end option tango.png I'll do my best.
Talk more option tango.png I've finished helping the deserters. (only after completing Skimmer Search)
Renown Heart empty (map icon).png Thank you. I mean that. Know that you've saved lives and helped build trust between the people here. I can't repay you enough.
Talk more option tango.png Glad to help. Now, what can I do for you? (same as "How can I help?" below)
Talk end option tango.png No problem.
Talk more option tango.png How can I help?
Renown Heart empty (map icon).png There are lookouts in need of rations; hop on a skimmer and make sure they get them. If anyone is hurt, use the skimmer to heal them up. And watch out for Forged—they've been raiding.
Talk more option tango.png What is this place? (same as below)
Talk end option tango.png I'll do what I can.
Talk more option tango.png What is this place?
Renown Heart empty (map icon).png We train skimmers here and produce feed from local fish. Our isolation keeps us safe from the Awakened, but recently the Forged have been getting more aggressive.
Talk more option tango.png How can I help? (same as above)
Talk end option tango.png Thanks for the talk.
Talk end option tango.png Good-bye.
Complete heart (map icon).png Thanks for helping out at the camp. There's always more than enough work to do, so come back whenever you feel like spending some time with skimmers. Which should be always!
Talk more option tango.png I've finished helping the deserters. (only after completing Skimmer Search)
Complete heart (map icon).png Thank you. I mean that. Know that you've saved lives and helped build trust between the people here. I can't repay you enough.
Talk more option tango.png Glad to help. What do you have for sale?
Talk end option tango.png I'm just glad I could help.
Karma.png What do you have for sale?
Talk end option tango.png Glad I could be of help.
After completing the Finding Sibaha collection
Thanks for helping out at the camp. There's always more than enough work to do, so come back whenever you feel like spending some time with skimmers. Which should be always!
Talk more option tango.png I found the skimmers. And Sibaha.
So where are they?
Talk more option tango.png She's training them to swim at her own camp in Lion's Arch.
Swim? With a rider? Those are my... She had no right...! Hmm...but it WOULD increase their value and help pay for ranching expenses. I'll have to remind her where she got those skimmers!
Talk end option tango.png I'm sure you can work something out.
Talk end option tango.png Glad I could be of help.
