[ Hello again, Escordvi. It is Emet-Selch, sitting at his desk in the cabin on the Phantom Moon. ]

Firstly, my thanks to those who left gifts for me during the local celebrations. I would return the favour but only one of you left a name. If you desire a gift yourself, I've left them with my assistant at the Adamantine Forge.

...Now, to business.

[ He clears his throat. ]

The Raiders of the Lost Arts welcomes all who have a keen interest in exploration, discovery, and research whether that be for esoteric relics or more mundane interests. I am currently its acting captain until such time as our original captain returns - if he does, indeed, return. Our ship, the Phantom Moon, has ample space for your needs and will be docked at Eltrut for a week or so whilst our new arrivals find their feet. Do come find myself or one of the crew should you be interested. Your assigned armada matters not to us.

[ He snaps his fingers and faintly shimmering, translucent faces of the current crew - Professor Turo, Ryotaro Dojima, and Reno - appear. ]

--And if you happen to be interested in magitech research and development, the Adamantine Forge can be found on the same leviathan, away from the main docks.

Mortals are as selfish as ever I see.

[ He says it like one making the observation that the sun keeps rising each day. ]

Oh well. I would have liked to develop some energy source that doesn't rely on finite resources but I shall have to keep working from my own experiences.

[lucky_e]

And what sort of things might you try to do if you had an energy source like that?

[emet_sulk]

[ He waves an impatient hand. ]

Can't you see? I wouldn't have to seek out a source of oil or coal and scar the land extracting it. Since this is a seafaring world, 'twould be remiss not to take advantage of the ample sunlight. Solar powered technology is not beyond these people - I simply have to solve the problem of harvesting and storage.

[ A problem he intends to work at when it comes time to make Cloud's battery... ]

[lucky_e]

You could also use tidal energy as well. But yes, being able to store it would be a problem. Did you have a battery design in mind yet?

[emet_sulk]

Yes, yes, tidal energy too. And no, I'm in the process of finalising another project. Once that is complete then I may begin drafting ideas for a battery - which I anticipate will be difficult since the usual materials aren't abundant here.
