Anataeus (Shabby): When I was in the university I had so many ideas. Anataeus (Shabby): It’s almost nice, in a way, to have just the one now. Concordia (Shabby): Do you feel it too? A sense as though I were being guided along a path toward some inevitability. Anataeus (Shabby): A shame that nobody will ever know about how I made the Universal Solvent under great duress with only the barest of ingredients. Concordia (Shabby): Perhaps someone will tell the story, one day. Anataeus (Shabby): It seems rather unlikely. The whole point of making this is so there won’t be any evidence left behind. ----------- Anataeus (Shabby): I’m about to dissolve the transmutation engine itself. We must be sure every piece of the plan is set. Concordia (Shabby): As far as I can ascertain we are ready. Concordia (Shabby): Nils has taken the packages. Clara is set for her stunning debut. Anataeus (Shabby): And are you truly ready? Concordia (Shabby): I should be the one asking you. Anataeus (Shabby): There’s no choice. It must go, all of it. Anataeus (Shabby): Then good riddance. Concordia (Shabby): Yes, let’s go.
