"[seeing the memory globe harvester destroyed by Sirrus] What happened? This is terrible! How are we supposed to maintain contact with the ancestors if we can't harvest any globes? [turns to face the player] Forgive me. I've seen your face so often in Dream, I forget you're still a stranger here. You've been inside the Memory Chamber; you've seen the colorful lights crowning her walls. These are the memories of my people, taken from their bodies after their spirits moved on. In Serenia, the Memory Chamber stores our memories, so that future generations can still visit us in Dream. Empty globes for storing our memories are formed underwater, and we gather them using the harvester. So if I'm unable to fix it... I must see how bad the damage is. [goes over to it, then turns back] Oh... I was supposed to tell you, a few of my sisters have gathered in the Hall of Spirits to dream. If you go there after they've awakened, you may be able to learn more about what happened to Yeesha. Good luck."
