You say, 'I would be interested' Associate Researcher Maladoks says 'Excellent, please enter Thalassius with great expediency and locate the sculpture of Prexus... when you have found it, copy the inscription and return it to me... be careful, I understand the habitation is not very safe at the moment.'
