I don't know much about this place or how these things work, but there was talk about leaving a while ago, and now we're staying for a bit, but we're gonna leave eventually. After all those smart people figure out how to cure all these folks.



We're taking one of those robots with us, right? Maybe a few? They look like they'd be useful.
Maybe of the dragons, too. That one lady has a dragon, so it wouldn't be that weird.

We are not thieves of iron or children.

[inkfire]

They don't need that much iron. They've got all these robots, can't they spare a few?
What if we asked some of the dragons? And they just wanted to come along. That's not stealing.

[downswing]

The citadel is already defiled by tragedy.



( STOP LOOTING )

[inkfire]

Is it tragedy to leave dragons here that might want to travel?

[downswing]

They have roots. A home.

You travel to yours. You grasp the calling.

[inkfire]

And traveling away from my home helped.

Home isn't always a place.

[downswing]

Your aim is to emancipate dragons.



( And not to take any kind of advantage. Ever. At all. )

[inkfire]

Yes, of course. A noble cause.

[ maybe he'd like to go flying some time, is that so bad? ]

[downswing]

Even liars must improve skill.

[inkfire]

You haven't seen me trying, Senior.

You don't know how badly I want to take a dragon.

[inkfire]

They're useful creatures. Surely a few of them would want to come along.

Are you sure you would be able to maintain it in working order once we're away from here?

(voice)

[inkfire]

Me? Nah, I don't know anything about those things. But I know at least one person is smart enough to keep them in working order, and there have to be a few more, right?

(voice)

[beitangmoran]

Knowledge is probably to be found. Materials are less certain.

[techmaturgy]

That's not an issue. The real question is whether it will be worth the time and energy, and what we might do when replacement parts become unavailable to us.

un: V; voice

[beitangmoran]

I also don't know what energy source they use, but what happens when that runs out? Does anyone have the knowledge to switch it out?

Re: un: V; voice

[techmaturgy]

Yes, me. I suppose we could always cannibalize it for parts should it break down irreparably.

[beitangmoran]

Well, I suppose that can always be useful.

Still, aren't the droids linked to the surveillance system here in Minaras? Could we sever one of them from it?

[techmaturgy]

Theoretically, yes. I'm not sure how useful one would be, separated from the system, but we could certainly try.

[beitangmoran]

Maybe more inquiry into what Master Mo wants to do with this one would be useful.

[techmaturgy]

Well, he’s welcome to share.

[inkfire]

Does it have to run on the system? Can't be switched up to run independently?

Dragons decide. If dragons want, Kahl say yes.

Smart man! Someone who agrees. Let the dragons go wandering with us if they want.
