1 <76D6E01E> W1 0x8100 0x4081 0x430 126 (gasp) My, oh my...
2 <3705876E> W1 0x8100 0x4081 0x430 126 To think that I would find one so soon...
Let it never be said that the fruits of
one's labors are not rewarded!
3 <9F76B5D6> 2 0x8100 0x4081 0x430 126 What've you got there?
4 <CBCECA99> W1 0x8100 0x4081 0x430 126 Again, I must extend to you
my deepest thanks.
5 <87DACDE5> W1 0x8100 0x4081 0x430 126 I would never have laid my hands upon
this were it not for your sterling efforts.
6 <C5B75683> 6 0x8100 0x4081 0x430 126 It's...a rock?
7 <5AA81D8B> 3 0x8100 0x4081 0x430 126 Looks like a rock to me.
8 <43D4AB7D> 4 0x8100 0x4081 0x430 126 Hrm... Those are unusual inclusions.
I've never seen anything like it.
9 <E704EAED> 4 0x8100 0x4081 0x430 126 It's as if a number of different types
of stone have all been interlaced...
10 <880DA69A> W1 0x8100 0x4081 0x430 126 On the ball, once more. Your
assessment is absolutely correct.
11 <365E5B65> W1 0x8100 0x4081 0x430 126 This stone was formed after several types
of subterraneous minerals were exposed
to tremendous energy, merging into one.
12 <2256A5A2> 2 0x8100 0x4081 0x430 126 Tremendous energy...?
13 <3971F28A> 1 0x8100 0x4081 0x430 126 ...The annihilation effect!
14 <F5B8E827> W1 0x8100 0x4081 0x430 126 Ha ha! It finally clicked, I see.
15 <FDA23532> W1 0x8100 0x4081 0x430 126 You might even call this stone a new type of
mineral, a curious byproduct of annihilation.
16 <842FC207> W1 0x8100 0x4081 0x430 126 As it is created through sheer chance,
it is vanishingly improbable that one might
reproduce it through human means.
17 <B8C42F9C> 2 0x8100 0x4081 0x430 126 So it's a pretty precious stone
then, is what you're saying.
18 <B624101D> W1 0x8100 0x4081 0x430 126 Ahaha! Do you see now why it is that
I was so adamant to depart the City?
19 <763DB67D> 5 0x8100 0x4081 0x430 126 It does seem pretty special. But what
are you gonna do with it? Wear it?
20 <4398099A> W1 0x8100 0x4081 0x430 126 Not a terrible idea, really. But no - I already
have a different purpose for it in mind.
21 <926F25B6> 2 0x8100 0x4081 0x430 126 Oh yeah?
22 <D749D889> W1 0x8100 0x4081 0x430 126 Indeed! Allow me to reiterate
before I recapitulate: a picture is
worth a thousand words.
23 <5478F1A3> W1 0x8100 0x4081 0x430 126 Chosen friends, might I ask you to return
with me once more to the City?
24 <2F9C41F4> W1 0x8100 0x4081 0x430 126 Indeed, what outcome might this
ill-omened stone, born of calamity,
bring about?
25 <2219D0D6> W1 0x8100 0x4081 0x430 126 In due time, I will show you...
