[%username]. Can I ask you something?

This will seem like an odd question, and it's probably just a rumor, but... I have to know for sure.

When you were in the Crucible Challenge, did you see any Balaur?

"Balaur? No. Was I supposed to?"

No. It's reassuring that you didn't, but their absence doesn't disprove their existence.

Mind you, they shouldn't be there at all! There's nothing in the paperwork about Balaur. I'd remember if there was. But I keep hearing stories of Balaur popping up at odd times in the middle of the Crucible Challenge.

I suppose it's possible she updated the system and forgot to send me the change forms... Would you do me a favor?

Accept. Decline.

The Crucibles are managed by [%dic:STR_DIC_N_Inggness], the Daeva of Time.

Go ask her if she updated the training protocol in the Crucible Challenge.

I'd be surprised though. She's not the type to forget to cross her T's and dot her I's.

"I'll go run a spell check on her."

No. That's all right. It's just a rumor. Nothing to worry about.

I'll ask someone else to do it later, if it crops up again.

But let me know if you DO happen to see any Balaur in the Crucible Challenge, won't you?

"Sure thing."

Az... phel... umbra...

Wha? I... Oh, sorry. My focus... is... a bit off today.

"Anja mentioned Balaur in the Crucible?"

Anja?

Ah, Combat Sergeant Anja sent you! I see....

Good. She's heard. I've been meaning to contact her about that.

Talk with [%dic:STR_DIC_N_Inggness].

Ask Inggness about the appearance of Balaur in the Crucible Challenge.

Combat Sergeant Anja asked you if you'd ever encountered Balaur in the Crucible Challenge. She'd been hearing rumors of them suddenly appearing... and they're not mentioned in the official training program paperwork.

She asked you to talk to Inggness to see if she'd changed the program parameters to include Balaur.
