Interrupting my thought process... this better be important! Always thought I'd find my peace and quiet working here but nope, I just get noisy adventurers asking too many questions...

What is this place?

What are you doing holed up in here?

Don't fancy yourself a bit of adventuring then?

Yeesh, sorry for breathing. I'm leaving...

Do you know where I can find ancient science books?

Finch

Well why not just take a look around, genius... books, work benches... worked it out yet? *sigh* This is a university. From here we send tech hunters north west to salvage relics and samples, then it's my team's job to piece together the history and lost tech of our ancient ancestors.

Finch

Adventuring is for simple minded ruffians with a death wish. But their work is necessary for my research, so I won't judge them too harshly for it. I personally prefer the solitude of my lab where I can work without the interference of such pointless queries...

Finch

Good. So I can get back on with my work... Now, where was I?

Finch

Oh why of course! Allow me to divulge all hard earned knowledge of the Tech Hunters so that random adventurers can stumble upon valuable research artifacts before we do!

I thought the Holy Nation were against all things tech related?

Can you teach me about the history of the area?

I see, thanks for the info.

Too bad, there are a lot more where that one came from. What is this place?

... I'm guessing you don't have many friends...

I have some questions.

How helpful of you. Forget it, I'm leaving.

Finch

The Holy Nation, what's that got to do with- Oh, right, I guess you refer to the statues of the Lord Phoenix outside... No more than decoys is all they are. We're not affiliated with the Holy Nation, despite appearances. But the statues keep them happy, the holy fools are gullible enough to lap it up. Not so smart those ones.

Finch

*sigh* If I explained the history of the world to every boor of an adventurer who dropped by, I wouldn't have much time to carry out my actual research, would I? You expect everything, you people, one minute you want me to work, next you want to rip me from my bubble of silence and knowledge...

Finch

Of course, head scientist of the Tech Hunters, now personal tour guide for all visitors apparently!

Finch

Well yes, I lack human companionship but I find my studies to be a much better way to occupy my time. What is your point exactly with these foolish questions?

Finch

*Sigh*... Of course, why not? Not like I have a job to do or anything!

So it's a lie... you're actually heretics?! PURGE! (Attack)

Finch

Speak to my assistant, Iyo. Even better, read my books or go buy my blueprints if you really want knowledge. I've certainly published enough of them...

Finch

*sigh* Now, where was I?

Finch

*sigh* I don't have time for chatter. Now, where was I?

Finch

Dammit, the guards are supposed to keep you crazies out!

Finch

Help!
