Lazry: Hmm. I guess this part is next? Nay, but if I be doin' that...
Female Engineer: Um, hello? ...Hello? HELLOOOOOOO!
Lazry: Aaah! Oh, lass! Ye scared me!
Female Engineer: Sorry, but I've been trying to get your attention for the last five minutes. Your concentration is impressive!
Female Engineer: Anyway, do you know where the workshop master is? I'm supposed to deliver this.
Lazry: I'm sorry, lass, but he went and got himself captured by the Empire.
Female Engineer: What? No! Tell me everything!
Lazry: ...So that's why I'm makin' this machine in order to go'n save him.
Female Engineer: In that case, you must let me help!
Lazry: Er...?
Female Engineer: Look, that's your prototype, right? Let me examine it.
Female Engineer: Oh man, this is a MESS! I bet you've never tried to build something like this before, have you?
Female Engineer: Look, you can't just throw a bunch of existing parts into a complicated machine like this and hope it works out. You have to modify and tune them appropriately!
Lazry: So that was the problem... Aye, it's true! I've no idea what I'm doin'!
Female Engineer: Leave it to me! I'll make a blueprint with everything clearly labeled. Just modify the parts like it says and you'll be fine!
Lazry: A fine plan indeed!
Female Engineer: Don't get too excited. Even with a blueprint, the modifications will be a challenge.
Female Engineer: This job will demand utter precision. Even the tiniest mistake will result in the entire machine collapsing.
Lazry: Aye, she's gonna be a rough one, especially with time so short.
Female Engineer: It's really a job for a team, but I guess you and I will just have to make do.
Lazry: Oh, I can get ye a team.
Lazry: Ramona and the other lasses would be perfect for this job.
Female Engineer: I don't know who that is, but great! Bring the whole gang along!
Lazry: Aye, but I do so hate askin' others for help...
Female Engineer: This is not the time to be like that. If you can get help, then get it!
Lazry: Okay, lass, okay! No need to go twistin' me arm so.
Ramona: So this is rokkan machinery, huh? Well, you can leave it to us!
Renee: Hee hee! I'll start with this one and—
Lazry: Nay, I've got that one.
Rena: I suppose I can work on this part here—
Lazry: Nay, I'll do that one as well.
Ramona: This one's mine.
Lazry: Nay!
Renee: WHAT IS YOUR DEAL, LAZRY?! WHY ARE WE EVEN HERE?!
Ramona: Seriously, Lazry, what's goin' on? You asked for our help, but now you seem all put out that we're here.
Lazry: Aye, sorry, lasses. It's just... Well, I'm not much when it comes to acceptin' help.
Lazry: Ye can't be the world's greatest smith without carryin' your own water.
Lazry: Me granda taught me that, so he did.
Ramona: Wait, so THAT'S why you always work alone? It's some old family tradition?
Lazry: Aye.
Ramona: But listen, Lazry—there's more than one path to being the world's greatest smith.
Lazry: Oh?
Ramona: Yep! Our father was a great smith in his own right, and he gave us a different way.
Rena: He certainly did. His motto was "Many hands make light work."
Renee: That's our workshop slogan!
Lazry: Many hands make light work...
Ramona: But proof is always better than debate, so sit back and watch our teamwork!
Ramona: Hmm, this part needs precise detailing, which calls for...
Ramona: A small, concentrated flame! Then I heat just the part we want to modify to soften it, and...
Ramona: Done! All right, you two! It's your time to shine!
Renee: Lemme just cool that down... ZING!
Rena: And I will feed it some delicious mana.
Female Engineer: This is amazing! They're crafting those complicated parts like it's nothing!
Lazry: Aye, I've never seen such teamwork.
Lazry: Well, not since they beat me in the Golden Anvil competition.
Lazry: (I don't think me granda was wrong...)
Lazry: (But the lasses aren't wrong either. There's clearly more'n one path.)
Lazry: (Which means I gotta find me own!)
Lazry: Have ye a moment, lass?
Ramona: Sure, Lazry. What's up?
Lazry: I was wonderin' if I could maybe... work with ye on this?
Lazry: I've got much to learn about teamwork and cooperation, and I'm hopin' ye might be willin' to teach me.
Three Sisters: !
Rena: We would be delighted.
Ramona: Right then, Lazry! I'd like you to handle whichever part is made from the heaviest, hardest materials.
Lazry: Aye, that would be the power reactor's stonetech engine. ...Hup!
Renee: Whooooa! I keep forgetting how freakin' STRONG you rokkans are!
Lazry: Aye, leave the heavy liftin' to me!
Lazry: (Once I learn from these lasses, I'll be well on me way to bein' the best!)
