Lore & Dialog

Representative of the Singularity tells you, "Greetings. I have taken the place of the Gerent, he has returned to the Singularity to discuss further arrangement of our accord."
Representative of the Singularity tells you, "His return is imminent, of this I have been assured. We are optimistic that our bargain will be met and that peace shall reign between our peoples."

Representative of the Singularity tells you, "The Gerent has departed for the Singularity. Before his departure he shared his knowledge with me and it appears as though you have visited us recently. Thus, I am unable to meet your request. You will need to wait a while longer before we will furnish you with another Energy Crystal."
Representative of the Singularity tells you, "We are still not prepared to discuss the benefits of a shared consciousness, but the Gerent seeks the approval of the Quiddity on this matter. Perhaps in time we shall begin dialogue on these advantages."
