1.*Rock is watching the fortress island from White Chalice's deck/showcasing it to someone. The whole island is a huge tall fortress, with gun emplacement bristling everywhere, and a whole city inside the fortress.*

Ah, Nino Island. How nostalgic! This is the headquarter of the Digger's Guild you know, I took my digger license here! I heard Grandpa Barrell used to live here too! Thank god it's still in one piece.


2.*Rock is prepping the second key for safekeeping. Apparently, it floats inside some sort of protective glass tube now. It stands in the middle a desk full of some papers and pictures of other artifacts, ruins, and different-yet-similar-looking robots. Some other artifacts litters the area around the desk*

Look at how beautiful this artifact is! And look at the styling, the carvings, it's so distinctive. It's obvious that it's part of the same ancient civilization that made these ruins and the reaverbots.

And of course... the legacy of the ancients... the great inheritance. The Motherlode.


3.*Rock is standing with a mop and an apron with a satisfied face.*

Ah, how relaxing. With all the things that happened, we didn't have a lot of time to spend to clean things, right? I hope that helped.

*But what did he clean up? Might it be the whole deck? Might it be your room? Your laboratory? Your mech? Did he ever ask permission for that?"

That's 2 down. I wonder how different the ruin where they found this key was from the one we explored.

Well, it's underwater, for one.

[saikyocivrobo]

Does that mean all this ancient technology is waterproof?

[bluehippopotamus]

I guess so. This is actually the first underwater ruins of this particular civilization that I've ever encountered.

And other Diggers somehow got its key without destroying the guardians. Hmm...

Do you think that frog is slowly moving into our direction now?

[bluehippopotamus]

God, I hope not. Though maybe if it developed taste for your tiny robot...

Too many things tried to eat Prometheus already. You could almost believe he's delicious or something.

[bluehippopotamus]

Really? Something ate him before?

[saikyocivrobo]

More than one someone. If it has teeth and is big enough to take a bite out of him, it will try to do that more likely than not.
