[It's been quite some time since the Head Nurse has ~~terrorized~~ graced Vatheon with her presence. She's been hard at work figuring out just what they did to fix the coral, and she's found out some very interesting things.]

Good morning, Vatheonites! It has been quite some time, hasn't it? And you have been terribly busy. We have a couple things to address.

Firstly, it was quite an ingenious solution you thought up for the coral, I am impressed. Who was it that thought it up, hmm? If you come forward, we might let you have an up close look at our facilities. I know you've been itching to get a look at them for awhile now.

Secondly, it seems that the Head Priestess lost her life in the commotion of fixing the coral. It's really quite a shame, but we didn't get to her in time to bring her back, so I'm afraid she's gone permanently.

[She doesn't seem to think it's a shame at all. In fact, she's smiling wider than ever.]

I do hope we can prevent such a tragedy again. You've all been behaving yourselves so nicely and not creating extra work for us. It would be very... unfortunate if that were to change.

i might know some things but what are the consequences for spilling
and what happens if i do name drop
or are you going to be cagey about that too

[She'll just filter that away from people now.]

I imagine the consequences would be your fellow foreigners getting angry with you. I certainly won't be harming anyone who wishes to come forward with information, though. We would really rather avoid the coral malfunctioning again, and I'm sure you can see how it would be beneficial if we knew who fixed it so they could aid us if necessary, yes?

[Davesprite will do so in kind.]

and your own scientists couldnt come up with their own ideas about how to fix the problem
or is it that they just didnt care enough
probably the most important question is why do you want to know
i mean i can understand wanting to call on them if theres a problem with the coral
but this place is chock full of science and techno inclined hero types who would rise to the challenge whether or not you guys asked them to
so it leads one to question why you want names if wed do it on our own anyway

We were ready to close the project at that point, but you all so graciously extended it for us. I'm well aware of the abilities many of you possess, but that all applies to your own worlds. Someone who can come up with such a solution in regards to our world is far more interesting.

indeed
well i havent been given much in the way of reasons why i should trust you
ill be honest lady im pretty suspicious of someone wanting to take a keen and special interest in those people

[It doesn't help that he's terminally protective of the ones he's close to.]

I would prefer to not have to use alternative methods to locate them. Asking is less painful for everyone involved. You seem defensive - are you close to them?

[Maybe she should just target people he's close to. Does that sound nice?]

maybe but if it makes some people crazy about it then it might be worth the pain
if i am what of it

[It doesn't sound nice at all, but he's not about to hand it out freely.]

Then it would be prudent to ask your friends about this directly.

i dont exactly listen to my supposed friends most of the time
so itd probably just be a waste of time
not to mention im not about to throw them headlong to the wolves
that would just be mean

You misunderstand me. I mean to say I'll simply ask them myself. Thank you for your time.
