He glances at you, then at the translated journal still on your person.
You have the journal. Wren Harper is waiting.
He returns to his ledger.
What delays you?
endHe looks up, one eyebrow raised.
You lost a journal? That's impressive, in a tragic sort of way.
He pulls another copy from his desk drawer.
Fortunately, my translator made duplicates. Standard practice for valuable information.
He slides the journal across the desk.
There. A magic trick - instant replacement.
A slight smile.
Try not to lose this one. I can't conjure infinite copies.
endHe produces the translated journal - the original with handwritten annotations throughout.
Here. Your translation.
He taps the pages.
Lot of scientific mumbo jumbo. Pre-war research notes, technical specifications, measurements...
He meets your eyes.
Not sure Wren Harper will find the answers she's looking for. My people certainly couldn't extract anything immediately useful.
A knowing look, almost imperceptible.
But perhaps the Institute has better context for this sort of thing.
quest: accepted
Safe travels. The wasteland doesn't care about valuable cargo.
endquest: declined
He withdraws the journal.
Your choice. Let me know when you're ready to complete the delivery.

Her eyes light up as she reaches for the translated journal.
Finally! I've been waiting for this.
She immediately starts flipping through pages, her excitement barely contained.
Pre-war technical diagrams, CELL schematics, temporal calculations...
completes the questShe looks up, almost breathless.
This is incredible. Give me time to read through it properly - there's so much here.
She clutches the journal like it's precious cargo.
She looks up hopefully.
Do you have the translated journal? Magnus finished the translation?
A pause.
No? Let me know when it's ready. This could be the breakthrough I've been waiting for.
endShe's examining readings on a makeshift instrument, muttering calculations.
After a moment, she notices you and looks up.
Any news on the journal? Did Magnus complete the translation?
She sets down her instrument, hopeful.
