As you draw near she stops looking into the mystical device and addresses you directly, 'Ah, the help, good, are you all right? Some find the close proximity of the meta-real disturbing.' She loses interest in you immediately and returns to staring into the orb, 'Good to hear it, the last Warrior sent to help couldn't even breathe. I'm trying to locate a good specimen but I'm having trouble. I was told I could find them with this, but it's not working very well. Go get me some void essence. I need it for my research.'

Now you can see the orb clearly you are surprised to see that it is not clear, you bend down and pick it up. The orb is filled with a grey smoke. As you look into it you see a shape in it's depths. The researcher says tartly, 'I take it you wish payment, well I will do a deal with you. Lead me to the void nexus and I shall let you have the orb.'

When it is about 10 feet from the edge it slows down and begins to melt. The researcher gasps, 'Ah, ok I've seen enough'.
