Kahrun learned more about Ide and Idgel in a few days than we managed in a few months.
[%dic:STR_DIC_N_LDF5b_Plona_E] insists on having more resources for her work. I'm sending you.
This Idgel is the key. If I don't get my cubes for research, we're done for, understand.
So bring back that [%dic:STR_DIC_N_LDF5b_Idgel_Q20090].
(The Archon Battlegroup Soldiers don't stop you from approaching, but they don't touch the Idgel Cube either.)
(A thick, silvery substance sloshes inside the vessel.)
I am called Lucullus. You may have heard of my work on interpreting ancient civilizations?
Move slowly. Those Beritra soldiers got rough with you. They'll be back soon enough to perform live-body Idgel experiments on us.
...What? Months? No, it's only been a few hours since you arrived.
You can smash that [%dic:STR_DIC_N_IDLDF5Re_Solo_Q_JailDoor]. Then we'll run until we find the [%dic:STR_DIC_N_IDLDF5Re_Solo_Q_IdgelMachine] that looks like an Idgel Cube.
I've seen it when they dragged me through, well...
(It looks like a cube, all right. But you have no idea how it works.)
Good thinking with the Shield Generator! You're a natural with ancient Danuar artifacts.
You know, [%username], I like you. We could do great things together.
Great research, that is. Have you ever thought about becoming an historical anthropologist? Come with me and be my apprentice.
Of course. A clever and honorable Daeva like you must fulfill all obligations.
Whenever you're ready, remember that I will always take you on. You'll find me in Pandarunerk's Delve.
For now, please. Allow me.
[%username]? The one who brought Kahrun's journal?
The researchers flap their arms like happy Qooqoos over it.
Me, I think he was a bit harsh to his allies and supposed friends.
Remarkable that you survived to escape.
Lucullus is researching the Danuar now? He's done some penetrating research on the Reians. I'll have to find him.
In the meantime, I could use another body. Go see if you can help [%dic:STR_DIC_N_LDF5a_Drakan_Kuvirkan_E] in his struggle against Beritra. Just, ah, don't kill him when you see him.
Talk with [%dic:STR_DIC_N_LDF5b_Paut_E].

Stall Beritra Sentries until the [%dic:STR_DIC_N_IDLDF5Re_Solo_Q_IdgelMachine] activates.
Talk with [%dic:STR_DIC_N_IDLDF5Re_Solo_Q_Scholar2D_E].
Report everything to [%dic:STR_DIC_N_LDF5b_Stun_E].
Help Luciana with Idgel Cube research.
Paut told you that Kahrun's information on Ide and Idgel had become popular with the research crowd, even if the Reian's writing was a bit... caustic. He sent you to help Luciana get her Idgel Cube for said research.
When you picked up the cube, Balaur attacked! ...and knocked you unconscious. Again.
You regained consciousness in their Test Subject Prison. Your fellow prisoner, Lucullus, knew how to escape, but couldn't do it on his own. So the pair of you broke out!
Safety achieved, he offered to make you his apprentice in historical anthropology, which would probably be fun AND DANGEROUS. But you had to report in to someone in charge first. Pandaemonium needed to know about the prison.
You reported everything to Centurion Kolfinn, a Daeva who was quite surprised to learn that Lucullus had moved on to studying the Danuar. He said he should find your former cellmate, but didn't give you a chance to say anything (like, "He's in Pandarunerk's Delve!") before sending you off to meet someone named Kubirkan.
