Quest Description

Garcia seems to have run into trouble again...

Version 1[]

If player has not completed Garcia's Paean: A Gift of Compatibility.

(Use Nahida's All Schemes to Know on Garcia, optional): Garcia: (I need to speed up my research...)

(Use Nahida's All Schemes to Know on Lutong, optional): Lutong: (Why does Mr. Garcia look like he's in a hurry...?)

(Talk to Garcia or Lutong): Lutong: Sir, I most sincerely suggest that we find a way to pay.; Garcia: They were more like bandits than merchants! How could they ask for such a high price for just a couple of insignias?; Lutong: Perhaps they noticed how your eyes lit up when you saw their goods.; What do you want the insignias for?; Garcia: Traveler! Your timing is always most opportune...; Garcia: Thanks to your help last time, I have basically produced an acceptable lubricant.; Garcia: However, I encountered another problem soon after that. While reproducing some of the parts, I found that... their excessively hard material will damage the other parts.; Garcia: Moreover, these excessively hard parts would crack, to different extents, upon even the slightest impact...; Garcia: Thus, I began searching for a material that is both hard and flexible.; Garcia: After relentless research...; Lutong: ...And after relentlessly hassling Mr. Ahangar.; Garcia: I thought that I could find the material I sought in the insignias that the Treasure Hoarders carry around with them.; Garcia: But those merchants may as well have been Treasure Hoarders, the way they were robbing me!; So this is where I come in, yes?; Eh, I'll help you find some.; Garcia: I should carve your name on the main bearing of my Numbering Machine! I can't express my gratitude enough!

(Talk to Lutong, optional): Lutong: I submit that we must earn some Mora, sir.; Lutong: I have heard that there is a theater in Sumeru City and that they are looking for someone to do some calculations for them.; Lutong: Besides, the stage crew... You know, they earn quite some Mora, but they have no idea how to keep track of it.; Lutong: I sense opportunity here, sir.; Garcia: Why, your talent in accounting and business is most astounding, my dear Lutong...; Garcia: Still, give me a second, let me think...

(Talk to Garcia)

Garcia: I assume you have obtained the insignias, yes?

(Submit Golden Raven Insignia ×2, Silver Raven Insignia ×2, or Treasure Hoarder Insignia ×2)

(If Golden Raven or Silver Raven Insignias are given)

Garcia: Oh my! These insignias certainly are of high quality!

(If Treasure Hoarder Insignias are given)

Garcia: Thank you very much, Traveler. These should suffice.

Garcia: I will have to reproduce the gear first... Um, no, I should tackle the problem with the bearings first...

Lutong: Here's your payment, Traveler.

Lutong: Given the current circumstances, we are probably in for some long-term cooperation.

Lutong: Ugh, Mr. Garcia's accounts... Sorting them out really is a headache...

Version 2[]

If player has completed Garcia's Paean: A Gift of Compatibility.

(Use Nahida's All Schemes to Know on Garcia, optional): Garcia: (Kaia... No no, what am I thinking...)

(Use Nahida's All Schemes to Know on Lutong, optional): Lutong: (Mr. Garcia's thoughts are written all over his face...)

(Talk to Garcia or Lutong)

Garcia: Ugh... Lutong, I need a hand...

Lutong: Sir, you'd better go back and get some sleep.

Lutong: Traveler, perfect timing! Come over here. I would like to ask a favor of you.

What's wrong with him?

Lutong: Well, in a word... Mr. Garcia had too much coffee and too little sleep.

Lutong: Fortunately, it's coffee he drank, not wine.

Garcia: Lutong, uh... We have to find some more insignias... You know, the ones that the Treasure Hoarders carry around with them...

Garcia: Traveler! You are here. Sorry, I didn't see you there.

Garcia: Would you like to get me some of those insignias? Just a few will do.

You should take a break.

Garcia: It's okay. I'm fine. I know what I'm doing. It's just that my hands play tricks on me.

Never thought coffee was that effective.

Lutong: It's not the coffee. Mr. Garcia doesn't want to sleep...

Lutong: Anyway, please bring back some insignias, and you will get paid.

Garcia: Once you've got it, just bring it to me. I want to take a closer look. A perfect bearing must be made this time...

(Talk to Lutong, optional): Lutong: Luckily, Mr. Garcia doesn't drink...; Have you been in correspondence with Kaia?; Lutong: Unfortunately, Ms. Kaia hasn't sent back any letters yet.; Lutong: And my plan to send letters to Ms. Kaia failed because I didn't know where to send them...; Lutong: Have no idea where Ms. Kaia is traveling now...

(Talk to Garcia)

Garcia: I assume you have obtained the insignias, yes?

(Submit Golden Raven Insignia ×2, Silver Raven Insignia ×2, or Treasure Hoarder Insignia ×2)

(Talk to Garcia): Garcia: Well, these insignias will be enough. I... Ugh! My head is starting to hurt again.; Lutong: Sir! You have to take these pills right now!; Lutong: Traveler, please take these as your reward. I'll take Mr. Garcia back first.; Garcia: Insignias! Don't forget the insignias. Make sure they are kept properly!; Lutong: Don't worry sir. They are absolutely safe with me.
