Dialogue and Mail

Introduction

First Mail from Subira.

Dear player,

I hope this letter finds you well.

There is something important I wish to speak with you about. Please meet me at your soonest convenience, and I will go over everything in detail.

Subira

Progression

Speaking to Subira.

Subira

Greetings, citizen. I've been meaning to speak to you about something.

As you may already know, Kilima was once a bustling trade hub, where merchants from all across the Palian Republic gathered to exchange goods and services.

Travelers often took a series of trade routes through Bahari Bay to reach the village.

Most of those routes have long since gone out of use. However, there are murmurings that some paths have been revived, for less than lawful purposes.

Do you happen to have any knowledge of that?

Player

Nope, not a clue!

Subira

Is that so... Hmm. I see.

Player

I don't think so, sorry...

Subira

There is no need to apologize

Player

Maybe, maybe not.

Subira

A simple yes or no would suffice.

Player

What are you implying?

Subira

I merely thought that you may have caught wind of something during your time in Kilima.

Word has it that illegal Flow items have made their way to Kilima from Bahari City via one of those old trade routes.

Player

Illegal Flow items?

Subira

The use of Flow by and Majiri Palians beside the Order is forbidden by law.

It is part of my job as a Watcher of the Order to enforce these restrictions, including by investigating the illegal trafficking of Flow throughout the Republic.

I would like to investigate myself, but deviating from my usual routine may cause alarm among the suspects.

It would be best if someone more... inconspicuous were to search that area on my behalf.

Player

Maybe I can help?

Subira

My instinct says you are to be trusted... so I was hoping you would be willing to become a confidential informant for the Order.

Player

Leave it to me!

Subira

My instinct says you are to be trusted... so I was hoping you would be willing to become a confidential informant for the Order.

Player

Good luck with that.

Subira

My instinct says you are to be trusted... so I was hoping you would be willing to become a confidential informant for the Order.

Player

Inconspicuous is my middle name.

Subira

"Middle name?" Is that a Human thing?

My instinct says you are to be trusted... so I was hoping you would be willing to become a confidential informant for the Order.

In exchange for your cooperation, we will provide you security and, of course, reward you handsomely for any information you provide us. Would that be a suitable deal?

Player

Sign me up!

Player

That works for me.

Subira

Excellent. The Order appreciates your assistance.

If I may... Your map, please?

Player

(give Subira your map)

Subira

...There. I've marked the location you are to investigate -- a rumored dead drop spot for these illicit goods.

Do report back to me about anything you find.

Oh, and do be careful now. The suspects cannot know we are onto them or we may lose any leads we have... possibly for good.

Conclusion

Returning to Subira.

Player

I found a suspicious parcel.

Subira

Fascinating. And this was near the rumored dead drop spot I marked on your map?

It appears I was right. Someone is using an old trade route to smuggle Flow items out from the city.

... Thank you for recovering this.

(Subira quietly tucks the parcel away.)

Player

Aren't you going to open it?

Subira

There is a time and place for everything.

Player

Can I peek inside? Pretty please?

Subira

While I understand your curiosity, I cannot allow you to do that.

Player

I was hoping we'd open it together...

Subira

While I understand your curiosity, I cannot allow you to do that.

Player

You don't trust me.

Subira

Please do not misunderstand. I am simply following orders.

I must first report back to the Order before making my next move. They will advise me on how to proceed.

Thank you again for your cooperation in this investigation, (Player). Please accept this for your troubles.

Post-Quest

Follow up letter from Subira.

Dear (Player),

I hope this letter finds you well. I would like to thank you for your taking time out of your day to chat to me whenever we cross paths. It has made integrating life here much smoother than I anticipated.

I have prepared a small gift to you as a taken of my gratitude. May I aid you in your endeavors.
