Frosty: "Uh, okay."

She walks a bit away, distracting herself by freezing some grass.

Tabi: "Right now, the admins of Magusalto, they're all in one place."

There's a pause as she thinks for a moment.

Tabi: "I want to take them out.

It would be, difficult, to do it alone, but at the same time I don't want to ask you anything you don't want to do."

Madenuuk: "Your support for Madeline's cause will be remembered, John. We thank you."

Miimas: "Rune magic?"

Miimas: "So it's like, not working anymore? How did they work in the first place? Seems like a weird form of magic."

Tabi: "I don't think I'm the only one with the idea, and I don't trust the admins to not stab the Spiral in the back if they haven't already.

Maybe there really are good admins among them, maybe they'll get caught up in the attack. I guess this is why I'm a terrorist."

Madenuuk: "Hm. The girls here, and older ones, are a bit different from the spirits that currently roam around the facility. They bind to Heartstones and ordinary objects much more easily than the others. Horoma said it was the result of an older machine used on them, the way it made their spirits persist after death. The ones that have been through the older machine have spirits that more resemble the spirits of those who persist naturally, while the ones that have been through the newer machine look much different. They are harder to work with even if they are trying to cooperate.

I do not know if you found out already, but I believe there used to be a similar facility in Teleiat."

Madenuuk: "I do not remember the street name, but I remember the accident. It was a very strange explosion, powerful but seemed smaller than it should have been. Madeline says it reminds her of witch cores bursting."

The wolf gives a shrug.

Madenuuk: "We never entered the facility, only explored around it. We were fortunate to be a large distance away when the explosion happened. The accident itself, there were noises, I believe, right before it occurred. A screech is what Onuuk remembers, Madeline says she thought something sounded like a scream.

There is not much else we can tell you - we probably know fewer details of the facilities than you. Have you spoken to Horoma? She and Emiel seemed to have an interesting relationship, and he supposedly told her many things."

You take out 16 stones and hand them to Madenuuk, who places them in a pouch he apparently had handy.

Madenuuk: "Madeline convinced fourteen of the girls to go with her. Aucupe and Horoma did not want to go, and we are unsure of Aucupe's plans. Horoma will probably try to seek out Emiel. Belua has gone somewhere, saying that she will return sometime later.

We've had many other girls before, they have all left."
