Sigrix says, "Smooth it and seat it, my friend. I'm big in fizz. I got a friend making recordings for me, and you could do me a real good turn, picking-them-up-wise. Interested?"

You say, "What kind of recordings?"

Sigrix says, "They're beautiful calls of native Talus wildlife, lovingly recorded in the wilderness by a skillful engineer. They've got a happy path as overtones to my next piece. Can you nab these sweet sounds?"

You say, "Yes."

Sigrix says, "Smooth. They're wildlife calls recorded live, so my friend is in the wilderness. Watch out for those animals now."

I killed a thug who attacked me, then talked to Cenik, a Spice Collective courier.

Cenik says, "You from that musician, Sigrix Slix? He's gonna love this stuff. This is 99 percent pure, this is. What a high!"

Return to Sigrix.

Sigrix says, "Hmm? My friend said this was glitterstim spice? Ha. That noober. Here, friend, glom some creds and check back soon."
