Dialogue

Gadd: "I need to extract the essence. Vekk! Bring me a canopic jar!"

Gadd: "No, no, NO! A jar, not a crystal! You idiot!"

Vekk: "You should be using an ether crystal. Extracting with a jar is unsafe."

Gadd: "Don't lecture me about safety! You've always been too timid in your research, Vekk."

Gadd: "You never fail to disappoint me."

Vekk: "I swear, if we didn't need him, I would shove him off a bridge."

Gadd: "I heard that! Livia! Hold this while I make the extraction."

Gadd: "This might hurt a little."

Livia: "If you're extracting the stone's essence, the energies could kill me."

Gadd: "Then get one of the other humans to do it. Don't bother me with trifles."

Livia: "Vekk's right. You should use an ether crystal. It would be safer."

Gadd: "Ether crystals aren't free. Bookahs willing to take the risk are cheaper."

Livia: "That's what you think of my people? They have no value to you?"

Gadd: "Not my problem. Are you going to help or not?"

Livia: "You've had "mishaps" before. You rush things and others pay the price."

Livia: "This is wrong. You're wrong. I refuse to be a part of this. I'm sorry."

Gadd: "Fine! Run off and leave me with the dirty work. Everyone wants results but no one wants to pay the price."

Gadd: "So who do I have to kill to get some decent HELP around here?"

Notes

• This Bloodstone may have been the same one the Mursaat intended to sacrifice Evennia and Saidra on in the mission Ice Caves of Sorrow.
• Ironically, the ether crystal Vekk holds appears to be a red Balthazate Crystal.

Trivia

• Canopic Jars were used by the ancient Egyptians to store vital organs during mummification.
