Cause and effect. Hypothesis and experiment.

What if an effect has two causes?

Player: "Is this still about Tahmes collapsing?"

You saved us from destruction via mining. But with one irritant gone, we can see more. The athenosphere, the deepest layer of Tahmes, shifts wildly.

Irritated by constant exposure to Drana energy, it flows like river rapids rather than a serene brook.

If the Synthral Wardens continue as they are, who know what could happen? Magma plumes? Tectonic breaks? Please, save our world!

Player: Accept.

You have a singular devotion to preserving Atreia.

Please continue killing Balaur Prison Guards in the Mineral Sedimentary Stratum!

Whenever anyone asks about the danger in Tahmes, I'll make sure you get all the credit.

Player: "Don't count your saviors before they've saved."

My tests report the athenosphere is settling down.

Is this because of you? Or just a natural fluctuation?

Player: "I killed off the rotten Drana-lovers."

Interesting that removing the Drana stimulus caused such a quick reaction in the athenosphere.

I'll keep an eye on things, watch out for other sudden changes.

Your bravery in the face of hazardous working conditions deserves a gift. And doubly so! Only you listened to me. Only you saved the world as we know it.
