N: While they ate, the group talked for the next hour and a half with Lilly asking about what they had done since they last saw Ilyana and then she asked probing questions about the mechanism that transformed the statues and what all Mal had done to try to reverse it. Finally…

Lilly: Based on everything you’ve told me about the crystals in the ray emitter I am confident that I can reverse Mara’s transformation or at the very least stabilize her current form if restoring her is not possible at this point.

Mal: That would be amazing! I have a feeling this will not be free, what do you want in return?

Lilly: Hmm. What are you willing to offer?

Mal: Well, I would be willing to give you that accursed ray emitter and the contents of the lab. Hell, I’ll give you the lab itself if it means Mara will be OK.

Lilly: That is an intriguing offer. From our conversation about your time here in Trivium you have tackled every obstacle you have encountered head on and have sought to increase both your knowledge and power for your own benefit and for the benefit of others. In just the last ten years you have taken a loose collection of miners and their families and molded them in to a small but thriving community. Mara is a skilled fighter, a formidable combatant even before her transformation by the sounds of it. I’ll accept what you have offered me already but what I really want is to add the two of you to my harem.
