[%username], let's talk for a moment. It'll take my mind off... my wounds.
You're a mercenary, like me. We've spent most of our time here culling the local wildlife, and I've come to find the [%dic:STR_DIC_E_LF1_name] environs intriguing.
This region is remote, so it's seen few battles. As a result, there are undisturbed ruins here. And the animals... they're wonderful! When they're not attacking us, that is. Nghh... damn that Worg.
Have you seen the [%dic:STR_DIC_MLA12_1]? They're an amazing species unique to... ah... my... back....
I'm getting better. My fever has gone. The wound still... burns, though.
Anyway, I'd like to study the [%dic:STR_DIC_MLA12_1]. Rumor has it that they were simple plants, transformed by the Cataclysm... mutated!
Will you help me study these creatures, [%username]? I'd like a few specimens. Or... rather, their hearts.
Excellent! I knew you had a curious mind.
The [%dic:STR_DIC_MLA12_1]s roam on the [%dic:STR_DIC_FLA06]. I'd like to have a few hearts for my anatomy sketchbook.
A scientific curiosity to ponder... while I heal. To think--a plant with a heart!
A shame.
I shouldn't expect mercenaries to share my enthusiasm for natural studies. Though I wasn't born a naturalist... my love for this world grew over time.
You better get going, [%username]. But look more closely at the world around you, eh?
You're back!
Did you find... the [%dic:STR_DIC_QILA70]s?
No, [%username], [%dic:STR_DIC_QILA70]s, fresh ones!
Please make sure you bring several, enough to see individual differences, you know.
I think I need to rest now....
[%username], these are perfect!
Now I can study these and learn if they arose out of the Cataclysm... or natural evolution.... A perfect project to calm a fevered mind!
Thank you, friend. Please... take this as a token. I'll mention you in my paper, too.
Go to the [%dic:STR_DIC_FLA06] and gather [%dic:STR_DIC_QILA70]s for [%dic:STR_DIC_LA11] to study.
[%collectitem][%dic:STR_DIC_LA11], a naturalist, wants some [%dic:STR_DIC_QILA70]s to study. Go to the Agaric Spore Road and hunt Fearless Fungies!
Melponeh is an amateur historian specializing in Sapien history. She asked you for some [%dic:STR_DIC_MLA12_1] hearts to study while she heals from an infected wound.
You hunted Fungies on the Agaric Spore Road and brought their hearts to Melponeh, who can now study the Cataclysm's effect on the natural world.
