Without you I'd never have had the chance to be at the forefront of this groundbreaking research, Daeva.

I owe much of my success to your continued willingness to travel to and from Dark Poeta.

I'll be publishing my preliminary results soon, and of course I'm giving you a prominent mention.

• "Thanks, Hnoss."

I am forever in your debt.

I’m afraid I can’t afford to pay you, but I can introduce you to a Shugo who could help you.

Have you ever met Chopirunerk? He was transferred to Pandaemonium from the Tigraki Workshop, and knows all about the Balaur.

I mentioned this Drana business to him recently, and it piqued his interest.

He reckons the Tigraki Workshop could use that material to manufacture new goods.

If you’re willing to scratch his back, I’m sure he’ll do you a favour in turn. Do you want to meet Chopirunerk?

• Accept.
• Decline.

Tell Chopirunerk I sent you.

But I need to tell you one thing up front.

You’ve had a lot of dealings with Shugos, so you know how difficult they can be. They enjoy a bit of scheming.

But although they demand a lot, they’re generous in their rewards, so have some patience.

• "Pandaemonium, here I come."

Chopirunerk is interested in Drana. Go and meet him in the Temple of Artisans.

What business does Daeva have with Chopirunerk today?

To commission fine weapons or armour?

To discuss sale of rare materials?

• "Hnoss said we should meet."

Yes, yes! Daeva who travels to dark future of Poeta.

Hnoss tells Chopirunerk you bring back things.

Tigraki studio very very interested in Dark Poeta. We should do business, Daeva. Yes!

Hnoss was able to continue her research, thanks to the samples you obtained. She offered to introduce you to Chopirunerk as a way of saying thanks.

She said if you work with Chopirunerk you might be able to obtain a nice item. You met Chopirunerk at the Temple of Artisans.
