"[opening monologue, to the player] Thank God you've returned. I need your help. There's a great deal of history that you should know, but I'm afraid that... I must continue my writing. Here. [hands the player his journal] Most of what you'll need to know is in there. Keep it well hidden. [picks up a book] For reasons you'll discover, I can't send you to Riven with a way out, but I can give you this. It appears to be a Linking Book, back here to D'ni, but it's actually a one-man prison. You'll need it, I'm afraid, to capture Gehn. [hands the player the Prison Book] Once you've found Catherine, signal me, and I'll come with a Linking Book to bring us back. [writes in the Book of Riven, then closes it, opens it to its first page, glances for a beat] There's also a chance, if all goes well, that I might be able to get you back [holds it up, showing the blurred descriptive panel] to the place that you came from."
