~ start Wren

if quest accepted

Wren glances up from organizing her research materials.

Magnus Fairwinshall operates out of Prosperity - usually near the market district. Ask around if you can't find him directly.

And be careful. Prosperity isn't as... friendly as Aniid Kin.

She examines the journal you brought her, carefully turning the pages.

This is definitely what I was looking for. Pre-war research notes, technical diagrams of CELLs...

She traces one of the diagrams with her finger.

But the text looks Cyrillic. I can't read it.

She looks up, frustrated.

I've been asking around while you were out in the field. Most people in the region don't read anything beyond basic English, let alone pre-war languages.

She sets the journal down carefully.

But I got a lead. There's someone in Prosperity - Magnus Fairwinshall. Information broker, trader, the kind of person who knows people who know things.

Word is, he has connections to translators. Or maybe knows someone who kept pre-war language skills alive.

She wraps the journal carefully.

Could you take this to him? See if he can help?

She pauses.

Prosperity is... different from here. More commercial. Everything has a price. Be ready for that.

~ start Magnus

A well-dressed man in his mid-forties sits at a desk in a private office off the main market floor. His neat beard and calculating eyes give him the appearance of someone who measures every word before speaking.

if quest accepted and requirements met

He looks up as you enter, already assessing you.

You're not from Prosperity. Let me guess - Institute business?

Wren Harper sent me. I need a journal translated

His expression shifts to mild interest.

Ah. Harper's mystery journal. I'd heard she was looking for translation services.

He extends his hand.

Magnus Fairwinshall. May I see it?

Hand him the journal

He examines it carefully, turning pages, studying the text and diagrams.

Cyrillic... Pre-war scientific notation. Technical vocabulary.

He looks up.

Yes, I can arrange translation. I know someone with the necessary expertise.

completes the quest

He sets the journal on his desk, his fingers drumming once on the cover.

Such knowledge is very expensive, of course. Specialized skills, rare languages, sensitive material...

A calculating pause.

But I like you. Or rather, I like your kind - new to the region, trying to establish yourself, working for people who matter.

He leans back in his chair.

So here's what we'll do. Instead of charging you caps you probably don't have, I'll ask for a favor.

His smile doesn't quite reach his eyes.

I'm listening

Here we go...

offers the quest Lost (Part 2)
else if quest accepted

He's absorbed in a ledger, moving small colored markers across a map of the region.

After a moment, he looks up with practiced courtesy.

Welcome to Prosperity. If you need something, come back when I'm less occupied.

He returns his attention to the map.

(You need to have a journal in your inventory)

end
else

He's absorbed in a ledger, moving small colored markers across a map of the region. Trade routes, perhaps, or information networks.

After a long moment, he seems to sense your presence and looks up with practiced courtesy.

Welcome to Prosperity. If you're here for trade negotiations, you'll need to speak with the market coordinator.

He returns his attention to the map.

If it's something else, you'll have to come back when I'm less occupied.
