  1. Conversation 1

    Oho? You linger here still? Perhaps, like myself, you have been bewitched by the Plasmium’s beautiful glow?

    Then join me, you must! A new assistant is needed. Together we shall unlock the secrets of this wondrous substance!

  2. Conversation 2

    There, you are replete with wonderful Plasmium once more! You can begin injecting it at once. Now, off with you!

  3. Conversation 3

    Excellent! With two bugs at the task, the rate of discovery shall greatly increase!

    Now! Before he up and vanished, my previous assistant seeded the warrens below with Plasmium buds.

    The buds should be ripening as we speak, and the nectar within must be extracted before they reach maturity.

    With the right tool in claw, collecting the nectar is an easy process. I’ll even lend you my own Needle Phial for the job.

    Once you locate a bud, simply charge the Phial until readied, then release its needle into a bud’s core. Do it right, and it’ll suck out the nectar in one clean pop!

    Return them to me when you’ve retrieved the necessary samples. With the right nectar, and the right testing, Plasmium can reveal even more of its wondrous properties!

  4. Conversation 4

    Keep using the Plasmium Phial, and enjoy all the wonderful effects it has on your body. Once your Plasmium reserve runs dry, visit me again.

    I’ll charge a few rosaries for refills, but you can be confident that every bead goes towards our vital studies!

  5. Conversation 5

    Assistant! You’re still dallying about here? I’ve an eager need for pure Plasmium, fresh from the bud.

    Just one fully charged stab of my Needle Phial straight into a ripe bud! You’ll suck the Plasmium right up!

    Now, pop down into those worm warrens and extract it for me! What could possibly be more important?

  6. Conversation 6

    Hornet

    I am curious about the equipment you have here, and the blue liquid contained within. What study consumes you?

    Ahh yes! So this miraculous substance intrigues you too! A wonder beyond wonders, miracle made material!

    Plasmium! A naturally occurring elixir with no equal! It heals wounds and strengthens shells! I suspect it can even defy death itself!

    Hornet

    Plasmium, you call it? I have encountered its like before, or else a substance of remarkable similarity...

    Highly unlikely! The grey and barren soil of the mainland could never produce something as singular as this, and that is undisputable fact!

    Plasmium was discovered by my master at the farthest edge of Pharloom, hidden deep in salt-stricken waters. I brought it to these caves under her direction, to study how it flourishes in a foreign place.

    Perhaps, like myself, you have been bewitched by the Plasmium’s beautiful glow? Would you assent then, to assisting me in my studies?

  7. Conversation 7

    Plasmium is a marvel of nature! And a new assistant is sorely needed. Together, let us unlock its secrets!

  8. Conversation 8

    Oho? A new face! Not here to bother, I hope? I’ve critical studies underway in these twisting tunnels and can afford no distractions!

    You haven’t met Zango, my assistant, by chance? An indolent sort? Short, slovenly, rather unreliable-seeming?

    Hornet

    In a dark cave below here, I encountered a shell not dissimilar from your own. I suspect your assistant may have met an unfortunate end.

    Ah ha! That careless buffoon. No surprises then. That lump never shone with the talent for true discovery.

    Now! To my work I must return! With my assistant so rudely dying on me, I’ve tasks enough for two bugs.

    Unless you have further interest in my precious Plasmium, kindly leave me in peace!

  9. Conversation 9

    Oh? Those who hesitate learn nothing, you know! The wondrous bright glow of Plasmium makes all things clear!

  10. Conversation 10

    Since you have proven yourself a capable assistant, take this delightful implement of my own invention, a Plasmium Phial.

    With it, you can inject precious Plasmium straight into your body. Almost painlessly!

    Hornet

    Your tool certainly looks sharp enough to pierce my shell, sir, but why should I want to do so?

    Because filling your body with Plasmium is so beneficial! It protects you from harm! And it feels so exquisitely good!

    My assistant and I have been injecting Plasmium into the local flora and fauna since we arrived. No ill effects have been observed, and so we can conclude that the process is utterly, completely safe.

    Keep using the Plasmium Phial, and enjoy all the wonderful effects it has on your body. If you ever run out of Plasmium, visit me again.

    I’ll charge a few rosaries for refills, but you can be confident that every bead goes towards our vital studies!

  11. Conversation 11

    Ahh, and exactly the required amount! A satisfactory effort, assistant!

    With this pure Plasmium extract, I may finally come to understand this wondrous substance.

  12. Conversation 12

    You would refuse?! There is much work to be done, and it is all so achingly slow when I have no aid!

  13. Conversation 13

    Assistant! Have you come to refill your reserve of Plasmium?

  14. Conversation 14

    Oho? A new face! Not here to bother, I hope? I’ve critical studies underway in these twisting tunnels and can afford no distractions!

    You haven’t met Zango, my assistant, by chance? An indolent sort? Short, slovenly, rather unreliable-seeming?

    Hornet

    I have not, sir. I am curious though, about the equipment you have here, and the blue liquid contained within. What study consumes you?

    Ahh yes! So this miraculous substance intrigues you too! A wonder beyond wonders, miracle made material!

    Plasmium! A naturally occurring elixir with no equal! It heals wounds and strengthens shells! I suspect it can even defy death itself!

    Hornet

    Plasmium, you call it? I have encountered its like before, or else a substance of remarkable similarity...

    Highly unlikely! The grey and barren soil of the mainland could never produce something as singular as this, and that is indisputable fact.

    Plasmium was first discovered by my master at the farthest edge of Pharloom, hidden deep in salt-stricken waters. I brought it to these caves under her direction, to study how it flourishes in a foreign place.

    Now! To my work I must return! Unless you have further interest in my precious Plasmium, or chance upon my truant assistant, kindly leave me in peace!

  15. Conversation 15

    Assistant! How goes your work? Have you extracted a sufficient amount of Plasmium for me?

  16. Conversation 16

    Excellent! With two bugs at the task, the rate of discovery shall greatly increase!

    Now! Before he went and died, my previous assistant seeded the warrens below with Plasmium buds.

    The buds should be ripening as we speak, and the nectar within must be extracted before they reach maturity.

  17. Conversation 17

    Are you so enchanted by the Plasmium that you will not part with it? You are more like that dolt Zango than I first thought!

    Its enlightenings are beyond your meagre mind! Give me the phial, assistant, or the deeper secrets of this substance will never be revealed!
