When my research becomes public, it will dazzle the archaeology world. It will reveal to the world the legendary Alukina's Palace.

And the Seirens? Can you just picture these academics stumbling over themselves to be "experts" on beautiful singers who can kill with a word?

"My mother had a voice like that."

My investigations are going to be incredibly detailed, thorough, and systematic. It's the only way to silence my critics, except for the postprocessualists--but who listens to them?

I am having a few issues. The one that is giving me the most headaches are the grave robbers, of course.

Fortunately, I don't anticipate people rushing in to loot Seiren dwellings.

"Not more than once anyway."

But now other things are giving me problems. It's the [%dic:STR_DIC_M_FlyingFoamD_44_n]s and [%dic:STR_DIC_M_FlyingRayD_44_n]s.

They go around bumping into surveying rulers that we put much effort to set up. I have to put a stop to it.

Would you like to help me, [%username]? You won't be disappointed with the reward.

Accept. Decline.

Thank you for your bravery, but don't do this alone. Take others with you.

I'll pay you in full regardless of how many companions you take.

I need you to bring me the [%dic:STR_DIC_I_QUEST_2586a] and [%dic:STR_DIC_I_QUEST_2586b]s from the ones you eradicated, to confirm that you did the job properly.

"The task is mine."

What is it? Did I make a mistake?

Oh dear, no no. I don't think of you as a slave, just a mercenary.

I merely wanted to borrow your talents for a while. The pay will be substantial!

"Perhaps another time."

What do you think of my map? Don't you think it's quite well drawn?

I have to draw them to scale using precise measurements.

Aren't you supposed to be killing things?

"As a matter of fact..."

Oh no, there aren't enough here.

I can't pay you for just these.

Go back and return with all the [%dic:STR_DIC_I_QUEST_2586a]es and [%dic:STR_DIC_I_QUEST_2586b]s. Do the job properly.

"All right, all right."

One, two, three... They're all here. Good.

Here's your payment. Thanks for getting the work done properly.

I'd better pack up my excavation tools and hurry to the palace!

Destroy [%dic:STR_DIC_M_FlyingFoamD_44_n]s and [%dic:STR_DIC_M_FlyingRayD_44_n]s, and return to [%dic:STR_DIC_N_Rubelik] with the evidence.

[%collectitem]

Destroy the creatures interfering with the surveying of Alukina's Palace, and bring the evidence to Rubelik.

Rubelik, an archaeologist, is researching on the fabled Alukina's Palace. He asked you for help as Turbulent Seafoams and Seafoam Rayals are preventing him from making any progress.

When you destroyed the creatures and returned with the evidence, he gave you the reward as he promised.
