None of the above, but I'll still help.

U-um, well... I-I guess any motive is fine... a-anyway, we're [ checks script written on his inner forearm ] putting together a project... t-that requires a lot of specialty materials... t-to reduce the price Red can charge, we're, um, splitting it up, into multiple lists. S-so it gets spread out across s-several smaller quests.

Re: [ PEONY RITE... CROWDSOURCING... ]

[aiwillneversmile]

Okay, so what am I supposed to do?

Re: [ PEONY RITE... CROWDSOURCING... ]

[hardpity]

W-well, the idea is... y-you'd take one of these small lists to Red, and do a little quest in exchange for the items... t-then Peony will collect the items and turn them into a big piece of complicated machinery that would be impossible to buy outright.

Re: [ PEONY RITE... CROWDSOURCING... ]

[aiwillneversmile]

I see. I've been warned about quests for Red, so no promise on following through.

[still holding his hand out]

Re: [ PEONY RITE... CROWDSOURCING... ]

[hardpity]

T-these lists should be small enough that he s-shouldn't be able to give a bad quest...

[ rummages through his pile to get a little list of (MISC. ELECTRONIC COMPONENTS) to hand over ]

Re: [ PEONY RITE... CROWDSOURCING... ]

[aiwillneversmile]

Bad is subjective, though.

[glancing it over then pocketing]

Re: [ PEONY RITE... CROWDSOURCING... ]

[hardpity]

O-ok. W-well, if you decide to help, w-we'd be thankful.

Re: [ PEONY RITE... CROWDSOURCING... ]

[aiwillneversmile]

Mm, I'll let you know. Good luck with this.

Re: [ PEONY RITE... CROWDSOURCING... ]

[hardpity]

Y-yeah... I-I mean, if there's not enough interest I can just do it myself in batches... s-so luck or not it's fine...

Re: [ PEONY RITE... CROWDSOURCING... ]

[aiwillneversmile]

What's it all going to come together as?

Re: [ PEONY RITE... CROWDSOURCING... ]

[hardpity]

Spy satellite.

Re: [ PEONY RITE... CROWDSOURCING... ]

[aiwillneversmile]

Who are you spying on?

Re: [ PEONY RITE... CROWDSOURCING... ]

[hardpity]

Wolves.

Re: [ PEONY RITE... CROWDSOURCING... ]

[aiwillneversmile]

I thought you already had surveillance outside of the pasture.

Re: [ PEONY RITE... CROWDSOURCING... ]

[hardpity]

? W-why did you think that... um, but, no. I sent trackers out w-with exploration teams one time. T-they analyzed the environment those teams were in and recorded the data. One team's data showed t-that there were some kind of communication signals coming from much deeper in, s-so I need something more powerful to tap into those.

Re: [ PEONY RITE... CROWDSOURCING... ]

[aiwillneversmile]

Because of the trackers going out, it seems. So, the wolves have some kind of telecommunication network? Is there one inside the pasture?

Re: [ PEONY RITE... CROWDSOURCING... ]

[hardpity]

T-the wolf network is super deep in the mist...

Re: [ PEONY RITE... CROWDSOURCING... ]

[aiwillneversmile]

I would assume. I'm asking if there's a sheep one.
