Oh, it's you! *fsssh* Does this mean you have found a[ST:n ]gorkwa for me?[ST:wait ] |
| 2 |
|
qev060604_MSG0002 |
Yes, this is without question the legacy of Golbogga![ST:n ]Now I can dedicate my life to my sacred duty. *fsssh*[ST:n ]I do not know how to properly express my thanks.[ST:wait ] |
| 3 |
|
qev060604_MSG0003 |
...Is something amiss? *fsssh* You look confused.[ST:wait ] |

|
qev060604_SEL0021 |
Ask about Vera. |
| 8 |
|
qev060604_MSG0004 |
Ah, yes. While you were retrieving this gorkwa,[ST:n ]I matured to adulthood. *fsssh*[ST:wait ] |
| 9 |
|
qev060604_MSG0005 |
...You still seem perplexed. *fsssh* Let me help.[ST:n ]Zaruboggan childhood is extremely brief in duration.[ST:wait ] |
| 10 |
|
qev060604_MSG0006 |
*fsssh* And thanks to your advice, I spent that time[ST:n ]studying with other Zaruboggan in order to become[ST:n ]an upstanding member of my people.[ST:wait ] |
| 11 |
|
qev060604_MSG0007 |
Heh. The woman you saw a moment ago, Vera,[ST:n ]is someone I met on this ship as well. *fsssh*[ST:wait ] |
| 12 |
|
qev060604_MSG0008 |
She...intrigues me. *fsssh* But the closer I try to get,[ST:n ]the more it seems to invite her ire.[ST:wait ] |
| 13 |
|
qev060604_MSG0009 |
She is a human woman who recently started paying[ST:n ]this place visits. *fsssh*[ST:wait ] |
| 14 |
|
qev060604_MSG0010 |
I found myself intrigued by her, and desired to grow as[ST:n ]close to her as I am members of my own race. *fsssh*[ST:n ]I tried to approach her on several occasions, but...[ST:wait ] |
| 15 |
|
qev060604_MSG0011 |
Well, it seems everything I try only drives her further[ST:n ]away. *fsssh* Truly, you humans are a complex and[ST:n ]opaque people.[ST:wait ] |

qev060604_SEL0031 |

Inquire about Vera |
| 19 |
|
qev060604_SEL0041 |
Ask to know more about what Vera is like. |
| 20 |
|
qev060604_MSG0012 |
First, I tried to make a gift of some excellent voltant.[ST:n ]*fsssh* She seemed quite shocked.[ST:wait ] |
| 21 |
|
qev060604_MSG0013 |
*fsssh* Every day since then, I have traveled down to[ST:n ]New LA to profess my affections for her.[ST:wait ] |
| 22 |
|
qev060604_MSG0014 |
All for naught, I'm afraid. *fsssh* She is passionately[ST:n ]in love with something that she calls \"freedom.\"[ST:n ]I fear this is a trait I lack.[ST:wait ] |
| 23 |
|
qev060604_MSG0015 |
Still, how is it that I can feel so much for her,[ST:n ]yet fail to communicate it properly? *fsssh*[ST:wait ] |
| 24 |
|
qev060604_MSG0016 |
*fsssh* She... Hmm. She possesses a wealth of things[ST:n ]which my kind lacks.[ST:wait ] |
| 25 |
|
qev060604_MSG0017 |
Her joy, sorrows, and anger are so pronounced.[ST:n ]So vibrant. *fsssh* At times, her actions are utterly[ST:n ]unpredictable.[ST:wait ] |
| 26 |
|
qev060604_MSG0018 |
Is that all tied to this \"freedom\" she so often mentions?[ST:n ]I find it bewildering in the best possible sense. *fsssh*[ST:wait ] |
| 27 |
|
qev060604_MSG0019 |
As I think on it now, my feelings for her seem slightly[ST:n ]different from the connection I feel to others of my kind.[ST:wait ] |
| 28 |
|
qev060604_MSG0020 |
If only she were as simple as voltant! *fsssh*[ST:n ]Then I would know precisely how to treat her.[ST:wait ] |
| 29 |
|
qev060604_MSG0021 |
Apologies. I do not mean to complain. *fsssh*[ST:n ]But might I be able to hear your advice,[ST:n ]as a fellow human?[ST:wait ] |
| 30 |
|
qev060604_MSG0022 |
*fsssh* I do not intend to change the way I live as a[ST:n ]Zaruboggan, but nor do I wish to give up on her.[ST:wait ] |

| 36 |
|
qev060604_MSG0024 |
She mentioned wanting to gather something she called[ST:n ]\"DNA\" from it. *fsssh*[ST:wait ] |
| 37 |
|
qev060604_MSG0025 |
Now that you mention it, she came to the ship in[ST:n ]search of a vigent blood sample. *fsssh*[ST:wait ] |
| 38 |
|
qev060604_MSG0026 |
Apparently she is a student of Miran ecology. *fsssh*[ST:n ]She plans to extract something called \"DNA\" from it.[ST:wait ] |
| 39 |
|
qev060604_MSG0027 |
Do you think if I gave her the sample she desired,[ST:n ]she might see that my affections are sincere? *fsssh*[ST:wait ] |
| 40 |
|
qev060604_MSG0028 |
...Though I fear that brings me to yet another favor.[ST:n ]*fsssh* Could I possibly convince you to collect some[ST:n ]vigent blood for me?[ST:wait ] |
| 41 |
|
qev060604_MSG0029 |
I will pay you as much as I am able, both for this[ST:n ]and the gorkwa. *fsssh* I know it is an imposition,[ST:n ]but I would be most grateful for the help.[ST:wait ] |
| 42 |
|
qev060604_MSG0030 |
Vera mentioned that vigents can be found in Cauldros.[ST:n ]*fsssh* Good luck, and thank you again.[ST:wait ] |
| 43 |
|
qev060604_MSG0031 |
Oh, Vera... *fsssh* I never imagined that simply being[ST:n ]unable to speak with someone could cause such pain.[ST:wait ] |
| 44 |
|
qev060604_MSG0032 |
This is different from the hunger to devoltanize. *fsssh*[ST:n ]It is more urgent. Keener.[ST:wait ] |
| 45 |
|
qev060604_MSG0033 |
My chest feels hot—almost burning—and my breath[ST:n ]comes shallow. *fsssh* What is this state I am in?[ST:wait ] |

qev060604_MSG0034 |
Love? What is that? *fsssh* At times, the words from[ST:n ]your lips are utterly foreign to me.[ST:wait ] |
| 51 |
|
qev060604_MSG0035 |
...A special emotional bond two people share? *fsssh*[ST:n ]...Racing heartbeats? *fsssh* SURGING LOINS?![ST:n ]*fsssh* *fsssh* *fsssh* *fsssh*[ST:wait ] |
| 52 |
|
qev060604_MSG0036 |
Ah. I should mention that Zaruboggan do not share[ST:n ]your humans' division into male and female sexes.[ST:n ]*fsssh* Do you suppose \"love\" is still possible?[ST:wait ] |
| 53 |
|
qev060604_MSG0037 |
Though I will admit that my symptoms align closely with[ST:n ]those you described. *fsssh*[ST:wait ] |
| 54 |
|
qev060604_MSG0038 |
I am ill then? *fsssh* Thank you for your insight.[ST:n ]I admire your wisdom.[ST:wait ] |
| 55 |
|
qev060604_MSG0039 |
Though I am afraid human medical facilities would not[ST:n ]be able to treat this affliction. *fsssh*[ST:wait ] |
| 56 |
|
qev060604_MSG0040 |
The cause clearly lies with Vera. *fsssh* I would like to[ST:n ]begin by repairing my relationship with her.[ST:wait ] |
| 57 |
|
qev060604_MSG0041 |
So then? How did your search go? *fsssh*[ST:n ]Did you acquire the vigent blood?[ST:wait ] |

|
qev060604_MSG0042 |
Ah, this is precisely what she wanted![ST:wait ] |
| 59 |
|
qev060604_MSG0043 |
Thank you. *fsssh* I will take this straight to her.[ST:wait ] |
| 60 |
|
qev060604_MSG0044 |
But before I go, could I pester you for one last bit of[ST:n ]advice? *fsssh*[ST:wait ] |
| 61 |

qev060604_MSG0045 |
How should I approach her with this?[ST:wait ] |
