You say, 'Hail, Associate Researcher Plik'
Associate Researcher Plik blinks in confusion for a moment, 'Ah, forgive me... I was immersed in my [studies]. Do you require assistance?'
You say, 'studies'
Associate Researcher Plik says 'I happen to have several areas of expertise. My primary interest is in [linguistics], although lately, due to circumstances, I've begun to focus more of my effort into the study of the [Sphinx].'
You say, 'sphinx'
Associate Researcher Plik says 'The Sphinx are quite an amazing species; many claim that they possess all knowledge... And, while I remain somewhat [skeptical], I must concede that they are extremely knowledgeable creatures.'
You say, 'skeptical'
Associate Researcher Plik says 'My original interest in the Sphinx arose from the claim that they were in possession of a powerful [artifact] that can be used to decipher and understand any basic form of communication... Unfortunately, I've had to divert my focus to the [problem] of restoring stability to the city's power source and I've been unable to find suitable [help] for either task.'
You say, 'artifact'
Associate Researcher Plik says 'The artifact, known to the Sphinx as the Stone Tongue of Ateleka, is supposedly in the possession of Osinzuhazhfet. Perhaps you could attempt to acquire the artifact for me while I am drawn into these other critical matters?'
You say, 'problem'
Associate Researcher Plik says 'I'm sure you are quite aware of the crisis facing the city and our failing power source. After a long and confusing conversation with the Sphinx, Yinihortinkah, I am quite sure that there is some valuable information there, if only I had time to accept the [challenge] that Yinihortinkah has issued.'
You say, 'challenge'
Associate Researcher Plik says 'Excellent Grizabelle! Please return when you have spoken with Yinihortinkah.'

You say, 'help'
Associate Researcher Plik says 'If you could assist me in either task, I would be very grateful... Obviously, the issue of the city's failing power source is of more importance.'
