The blasted Aether Generator is starting to get on my nerves.

Every time I tell Pandaemonium it's working fine, it breaks down. Then when I tell them it's broken, it starts working again!

It seems to be functioning perfectly well lately, but who knows when that might change. So I've decided to do somethng about it.

Player: "What, exactly?"

The 1st Pandaemonium Research Center thinks that if they examine local creatures for traces of Aether, they can determine if there's something in the Aether here causing the problems.

So I've been collecting Aether Samples from Dancing Moonflowers and Longtail Gluggas.

But those things are vicious--I'm having a hard time doing the collection by myself. Do you have some time to lend a hand?

Player: Accept.

Great! Don't worry, I did most of the work. I just need about 25 samples to meet my requirements.

Of course, you'll have to slice open Dancing Moonflowers and Longtail Gluggas to get the Aether Samples.

They won't like that, so be on your guard. I'll stay here to make sure you don't get snuck up on.

Player: "As you wish."

I have to tell you--every time the Aether Generator so much as blinks, it makes me nervous.

I don't want to know how I'd have to fight the things lurking around here without it.

Once I get all the Aether Samples, they're getting sent straight out to the scholars.

Player: "And here they are."

Sorry, that's not enough. I need 25 more to meet the number I was given.

The scholars already have a theory, you know--that the creatures around here have adapted to Drana energy, and that they've started affecting Aether because of it.

To me, they're just Dancing Moonflowers and Longtail Gluggas, walking Aether Samples.

Player: "I get the hint."

Finally! All the Samples I need! Hopefully we'll get some answers soon.

Things should move faster thanks to you. Please take this. I know it isn't much, but it's something.
