Ffamran, I do not know what you hope to accomplish by convincing some bumbling fool to attempt a kidnapping, but it is pointless.  I would appreciate it if you could do me the courtesy - which I am sure is asking much of pirate scum - to not involve me in any future ridiculous ploys

I must admit... twas a bit childish on his part.

[doctorcidolfus]

I fear many of Ffamran's actions are childish; this is no exception.

However, I appreciate your... maturity on the subject, knowing your opinion of me.

[captain_basch]

My opinion aside, twould be a lie if I said he was anything but childish with how he acted.

... so, you have had no luck with research?

[doctorcidolfus]

As of yet, no.

The only information I have garnered is already common knowledge among the city's older inhabitants. Were it useful, they would surely have used it and found an exit from this world.

I thought Discedo could use a laugh at Stan's expense and you could retrieve those medical supplies while captured. Alas, you don't seem as able to think on your feet as you used to.

[doctorcidolfus]

You will have to forgive me, when I believe the scoundrel who infiltrated my lab and gladly proclaims himself to be my killer does not have my best interests in mind.

[clean_cuffs]

Your death was hardly something that qualified as a joyful experience.

Not your best interest, no. But since you're not finding anything, you might as well be useful.

[doctorcidolfus]

I would think that such a tactic requires speaking with the intended captive beforehand.

What you look for? What is Draklor mean?

[Voice]

[doctorcidolfus]

I am searching for information pertaining to this city - its history, significant events, and the like. Should you have any, I would be most interested to hear of it.

Draklor Laboratories is the facility I head in my home of Archades. It is a research centre, specializing in the study and engineering of airships, military weaponry, and other... more fascinating endeavours of late, particularly the manufacting of Magicite.

...

Luxuries of any kind are few in a land so deprived as this. Even minimal progress has its value, and is better than nothing.

[doctorcidolfus]

So it would seem - Of course, in my career as a scientist, I was not always privy to such luxuries, so I can surely do without; it has simply been long since I was required to, and longer still since I pursued my studies alone.

[dynast_daughter]

Venat - she was there before... before Balthier left Archades, wasn't she?

[doctorcidolfus]

She was. My first meeting with Venat was some six years ago now, in the ancient city of Giruvegan - I am sure you know it well, by this point, as I led you there myself.

Why do you ask?
