[ Nacham ]

*Every surface of the strange entity vibrates with the sound of a hundred dry lectures by long-dead scholars, teaching a volume of knowledge so dense and overlapping that the end result is incomprehensible.*

1) I offer you this repulsive device, unique one. Only available if the player has the repulsive device in their inventory.
2) Live and... do as you please. [End]

*Swimming in sound, Nacham stares at you and looks away simultaneously, giving no indication of understanding.*

1) Here. Take it.
2) I am not yet ready. I may return. [End]

RepairNacham

[ Nacham ]

*You offer the repulsive device. As it nears the shining, dark surface of Nacham's shell, a sudden fervor seizes the device, and it twists itself free, latching onto the entity with the hooked teeth of its mouthlike appendage. Nacham reacts with a violent spasm, cable-limbs flailing as the entity staggers back.

*For a time, Nacham is still, but then it speaks, a chorus of voices finally speaking in unison:*

It ceases. At last it ceases.

1) Are you all right?

NachamResponds

[ Nacham ]

Yes. Thou hast quelled the mania.

I can focus. I can render sensible the things I have seen and heard now, though I remember little of my time before the mania. Was I artisan? Teacher? I possessed great knowledge that this shell twisted into a prison. I thank thee for the gift of thy untwisting.

1) What will you do now?

NachamFuture

[ Nacham ]

The mopango have cared for me whilst I could not care for myself, giving me the only name I now know. I will stay to help them. This chassis is a prison no longer, and perhaps deeper truths may yet be found within it.

To thee, new friend, I offer a piece of this former prison that thou mayest find useful, along with my thanks.

1) Live and remain free, Nacham. The player is given Nacham's ribbon. [Receive Quest Rewards: Fraying Favorites#Rewards] [End]
