I can blame whatever I want for whatever I want to! This is Sanctum, city of freedom, yes yes!

We hired a craftsman to try and make a better Cube, but has been months since we heard anything. Not a peep, not a squeak.

Need to find him and make sure he's not spending all our Kinah on cheap Shugo floozies and even cheaper drinks. Daeva will help, yes?

• Accept.
• Decline.

If Sidrunerk has already arrived, Quartermaster Haimon should know.

Haimon always keeps an eye on who comes and goes from the village.

Daeva should ask him if he’s seen Sidrunerk, akakak.

But what will Shugo do if Haimon hasn’t seen him either...?

• "Don't eat anything I wouldn't eat."

What do you want?

Speak quickly--I'm busy. It takes a lot of time to check over all these manifests.

• "Did Sidrunerk come through here?"

Sidrunerk? No, he hasn't come through here.

Somebody else was asking after him too, little Shugo name of Heerunerk. He's in the Halls of Prosperity--why don't you talk to him?

• "I'll do that."

The Black Cloud Merchants hired Sidrunerk as a Cube crafter, but he disappeared. Track him down!

The Black Cloud Merchants may be the finest Shugo guild in all Atreia, but we still can't make a decent Cube. Nyerk nyerk....

Last prototype I got didn't last five minutes! Maybe my fault though...crammed it full of deep-fried Balic ice cream until the hinges didn't work!

• "You can't blame the Cube for that."

Here to expand Cube, Daeva? You may have to wait. Master Sidrunerk is missing....

• "That's just what I'm here about."

I worry it is Shulacks that take him! He is likely prisoner on Steel Rake already, wasting away to fur and bones, nyerk!

He must be rescued, yes yes!

• "This Daeva is on the job!"

Strange to see Daeva here.

Are you here working with Shulacks? Have you escaped?

• "No, I'm here to rescue you."

Good! Good! High time Traders send someone to free me. I expect better treatment than this from Black Cloud, yes!

I need escort to exit. I make Cubes, not fight.

• "Let's go!"

You're back! You find Master? Is Master safe?

• "He's on his way back now."

Really? Fantastic! Maybe Black Cloud not so bad after all. Here, take token of appreciation.

Come back any time to expand cube!

Koruchinerk said that the Black Cloud Traders hired Sidrunerk as a Cube crafter, but he disappeared. You found out he'd been captured by the Steel Rake Shulacks, went to the ship, and rescued him.
