The [T0-AF] is a training dummy that can't attack.
Also, Ada doesn't have any 'doomsday level' spells!

If you don't mind Aubrey, I would like to try a few experiments involving delivering cargo, and testing material we have in stock.

All you have to do is pick whichever package sounds interesting, and we'll prepare the materials and ship it somewhere nearby.

SpoilerShow

Hearty Package
-Contains several healing tokens, suitable for most living beings.


Novelty Package
-Contains Unique magic crystals, compatible with any magic bracelet. Probably works with Ada as well, if those gems come out. Failing that, it includes a microbracelet for Ada to wear. Looks silly, but it should work.


Null Package
-Contains... Nothing? Huh. I could have sworn... I, uh. Guess you can use it to store things? Barnabas, we have a situation...

And before you ask, we will be confirming the requested package is the one sent. No more Honkit incidents.

SpoilerShow

Te,ch,ch mind, perhaps it is simply a matter of growing dull over the years. We have had little reason to observe outside our personal domains, and everything seems to be fine. Well, not quite fine, the honkit is still on the prowl, but we can deal with that issue when we get there.
