Dialogue Jannick: "Human!? Another HUMAN?! I should tear you apart!"

You "I... uh..."

Jannick: "No, no. You're right, I don't have time for that! Professor Vivendo will have my horns as it is!" You "What happened?"

Jannick: "Those lousy thieves! My doctoral thesis! How could they? And what kind of cowards have to wear black masks, anyway? Humans. Always the humans."

You "The Black Thrush! Do you know which way they went?"

Jannick: "Let's get back to MY problem, shall we? I'm quite serious when I say that Professor Vivendo will have a fit! The result of an experiment gone awry. When enraged, his skin turns dark, he grows to an enormous size, and he attacks everything in sight. I'll tell you what you want to know, if you help me."

You "I don't really have time for--"

Jannick: "Sorry, let me rephrase that. Help me, and you shall have my gratitude, and I'd be inclined to share what I know with you. Don't help me, and I shall devour you. Do we have an understanding, human?"

You "Loud and clear. Reporting for duty."

Jannick: "I need to make some special restraints for Professor Vivendo, so he won't be able to attack me until the fit passes. Go and collect some Orgarra Root, which can be found in Research Biome 21-O. That material is as tough as nails."

You "Okay. I'll be back."

Jannick: "Good, good. Off you go, then!"

You looted Orgarra Root!

Jannick: "Do you have what I need human?"

You "Yes, here."

Jannick: "Yes, this will do nicely."

'''You lost 1x Orgarra Root. Gained 15k experience!'''

You "Now please tell me about the Black Thrush members, and your thesis."

Jannick: "Why three humans would want a paper on Thermonuclear Minotaur Dynamics, is beyond me. But that's what they stole. I was quite proud of that paper! I had theorized a revolutionary new technique for splitting Minotaur atoms, and creating a Minatomic Bomb."

You "Gulp. Do you know where the three Black Thrush members were headed next?"

Jannick: "I think over to the Laboratories. Professor Vivendo may have seen them. You could ask him. But don't say a word about my stolen thesis, until I've finished making his restraints!"
