RIK: "You mean to tell me, the Slandering Knave was not detonated?"
SKELL-Ai TAR: [CORRECT, FATHER. MYTHIC-CLASS SKELL ENGINE: SLANDERING KNAVE IS STILL INTACT. ROUGHLY SIXTY PERCENT OF THE HULL'S INTEGRITY REMAINED INTACT AFTER LOG PHASE "END OF THE LINE" WAS CONCLUDED.]
RIK: "..."
RYQ: "-we need to go back to Vollus II and make sure that wreck is utterly destroyed."
RIK: "Lo."
RYQ: "What- Why!?"
RIK: "Inaika... Inakia au stl'ikoditta."
RYQ: "Father- This is hardly the time for Shonitt riddles! We need to act!"
RIK: "The conclusion of Deepstrike Operation: Loose Noose, was a failure. The Skell Engine is intact on Vollus II. The Anathema was given wounds, yes. And an intact wreck of our most advanced technology and engineering to tinker with..."
SKELL-Ai TAR: [FORTY-FOUR. THE IMPLIED INSINUATIONS STATE THAT WITH THIS DEVELOPMENT, THE ANATHEMA MAY HAVE AQUIRED MATERIAL-]
RYQ: "-I KNOW WHAT IT MEANS...! -*stressed breathing*- I failed."
RIK: "All we can do at this time, is wait. And Pray."
 	*RI'IIKO TURNS, FACING RYQUO, LOOKING DOWN AT HIM WITH UNREADABLE EYES...*
 RIK: "And what of the Wurm?"
