Key	Dialog
first > Plant > thinking	I could have sworn that I planted something in that there <#CB6825>fertile spot</color>. Gärdner, Gärdner...
first > Plant > thank > You	Thousand a thanks, my friend! The soil and Gärdner are much happy again, mhm ja.
first > Plant > final > Words	It's never too late to start anew.
first > Plant > do > It > Yourself	Gärdner, Gärdner... Luckily, I have many seeds, mhm ja.
Repeat > Digger > Tutorial	My elders always said: Work the land, but never wound it, lest we invite disaster. Surely, that's also true for the Sarcophagus?
New > Tree > Planted	...
Show > Me > Extractor	What happened down there, my friend? Wait, is that an... Extractor? Mind if I have a look at that for a moment?
Shortcut > Wakeup	Greetings down there! Is the day treating you well?
Shortcut > Leave	Uhm, hello! Gärdner is up here, on the ledge!
Found > Pod > Default	By the way, do you know what this is, my friend?
Found > Pod > Leave	My friend, are you leaving? Gärdner wanted to show you something first...
Found > Pod > Post > Lair	Perhaps it's related to this, mhm ja?
World > Is > Breaking	Stems are shivering, leaves are rustling, mhm ja.
first > Plant > talk > Before	Oh! Our day greets you, my friend! Imagine this: I was just about to bury a delicate seed in this rich soil... ... but then I asked myself, Gärdner, you drifting cloud, didn't you sow here already?
Greeting	Ah! Be greeted, my friend! So happy your trail led to my garden.
Connected > Intro	You know, I'm only at the beginning of understanding these wisps, my friend. I feel a connection, a sensation of something important, but I can't fully understand it yet. Don't worry. Gärdner will figure it out. Meanwhile...
intro	Gärdner's tree is much magnificent, mhm ja? You must try a fruit, so delicious! Have a seed, my friend. Maybe you will grow a beautiful tree someday.
Waiting > Tutorial	You are admiring Gärdner's tree, mhm ja? Wondering how it came to grow to such a majestic size? Shhh, it's much secret. You have to wait for a really long time... ... like I mean a REALLY long time. So no use standing around waiting. Seasons pass when occupied with other things, mhm ja. Here, my friend. Maybe you can find some soil for this delicate seed?
Fertilising > Tutorial	You see Gärdner's tree? It wasn't always this magnificent. There were times I thought it had stopped growing, mhm ja. Sometimes, the soil needs a little bit of extra food. Healthy soil, healthy plants. True as day! You can feed the soil with most organic matter. Even fruit, if you know how! But it takes a long time, mhm ja. You might want to come back later. Much later. Here, my friend. Have a seed and try for yourself!
Feeding > Tutorial	Oh, hello, um... Gärdner sort of accidentally fed this critter, and now it thinks Gärdner is its best friend. Maybe it was just hungry before? Gärdner calls them Pompoms. They <#CB6825>aren't carnivores</color>, but an empty stomach would make anyone cranky, mhm ja. I'm going to see if I can feed some other critters. Some of them might be... a challenge. ... but who knows what'll happen when they get a full stomach!
Repeat > Feeding > Tutorial	Be gentle with Gärdner's new friend, mhm ja.
Repeat > Barrier > Tutorial	Go on, get that seed flying, mhm ja!
Repeat > Barrier > Out > Of > Reach	Next season, we'll know what's beyond the barrier, mhm ja!
Repeat > Bramble > Reminder	Don't mind me, I'm just tending to these brambles here, mhm ja.
Repeat > In > Basement	This place really is a mess. Gärdner, Gärdner...
Repeat > Completed > Lair > Tutorial	Now, where did I put my fruit...?
Repeat > Lair > Tutorial	Maybe the digging tool could be of use here, mhm ja. If operated gently, that is.
Repeat > Ready > Escape > Ending	When you are ready, enter the pod, my friend.
Repeat > Escape > Ending	Have a seat, and we'll be on our way!
Hit > Pompom	Pompom! Nooo!
Killed > Pompom	Cursed be the ungreeted day! This is much too sad for Gärdner!
Killed > Plant	It's done, mhm ja. I have an idea for what to plant here next. How do you feel about Ogu Mumin, my friend?
Barrier > Tutorial	Ah, hello again, my friend! Gärdner usually keeps close to their garden... ... but there are so many strange and beautiful patches around here! Oh, you've happened upon one of those jumbles of machinery, mhm ja. Looks complicated, but all those components make it brittle. I bet just about any plant could break this barrier in moments... ... but the only good planting spot here seems to be up there in the ceiling, mhm ja... Oh! Think you can juggle this seed up there? Give it a swing!
Barrier > Planted > Seed	Whoa, nice moves! Now, let's just wait a moment and...
Barrier > Out > Of > Reach	Oooh so close! Don't worry, this happens to Gärdner all the time. Our little plant just doesn't have enough of a <#CB6825>root system</color> to support more growth right now, mhm ja... ... but I'm sure it will absorb more nutrients from the soil in a while. We'll just have to wait a few months or so. How exciting!
Barrier > Wrong > Plant	Wait, what kind of seed is that? Oh, I'm not so sure about that one, mhm ja... Do you mind if I take care of that seed, my friend? Here, have this one instead!
Barrier > Broken	By the Sodality, you did it! Such a good choice of plant, mhm ja. Now, let's see what's down there!
New > Patch > Tutorial	My greeted friend! Look at this beautiful, healthy soil here. Much thanks to this Pompom and its ancestors'... well, manure. That's why Gärdner is taking real good care of Pompom, mhm ja! Before this magnificent soil originated here, this spot was barren as a rock. Keeping Pompoms around and feeding them over time will <#CB6825>make the soil healthier</color>. It will also <#CB6825>create new patches</color> for planting. Healthier soil means bigger plants, my friend. Just thinking about it fills Gärdner with much joy! Let's rejoice together, mhm ja. Gärdner will leave this little patch for you to cultivate, with Pompom as live-in. How exciting! I think it might still be a little hungry. Here, let me check...
New > Tree > Next > Loop	Hello there, my friend! Ah, I can see you're admiring my lovely new seedling. I always felt this spot was a little empty, mhm ja, but not anymore! We have a long and fruitful journey ahead of us, me and my little one, mhm ja.
After > New > Patch > Tutorial	You can just <#CB6825>leave it here</color> on the ground, and if Pompom likes it, I'm sure it will notice!
Bramble > Reminder	Oh! Have you seen these Staccati brambles before? It's a fascinating plant, my friend. Really difficult to get through without tools, so they're useful to keep out intruders, mhm ja. Not that Gärdner is hiding anything in here, no no. I'm just saying!
In > Ultros > Chamber	A while back, Gärdner overheard some pilgrims talk about a special chamber, "the Humidicrib of Ultros". Is that it...? It's... mesmerizing... mhm... ja...
In > Basement	Oh! I was hoping you wouldn't come down here, my friend... It's a place of much... stress and sadness, mhm ja. Gärdner cultivated the brambles so that no one would wander down here by accident. ... Some time ago, Gärdner almost got caught behind a strange barrier of sorts. It was really stressful and alarming, mhm ja. Right before that, Gärdner had found one of those shaman bubble bed things. It's not far from here, but please be careful, my friend!
Look > At > Extractor	Ah, yes, a Berian tool. They can run all sorts of utility programs, mhm ja. Hmm, one of the programs seems calibrated for cutting down plants and trees... Please use that responsibly, mhm ja? Especially around my garden! Anyway, that's enough adventuring for me, my friend. I'm heading back.
Shaman > Power	Oh, you're back! Gärdner was starting to get worried. How was it? No nasty barriers? Phew...
Digger > Tutorial	I see you have found yourself a digging tool, mhm ja. A much delicate matter, digging. Soil is the foundation of all life. You'll be amazed by the things you might find down there. But it's a brittle world. If you cut off their tunnels, baby larvae won't find the surface to grow into majestic bugs! And if you damage the roots of a plant... Who is going to support its leaves and branches? My friend, they will wither and die! I hope you understand what power you wield now. Please, make sure you don't hurt anything.
Kill > Plants > Tutorial	Maybe it's time for Gärdner to tidy this place up, mhm ja. Hmm... Looking at it from here, I'm not sure this plant was the right choice. Gärdner just gets the feeling that something else might have worked better, you know? Perhaps it's time to <#CB6825>reach into the soil</color> and uproot it to make room for something else, mhm ja... I can't bear to do it. Can you help me, my friend?
Wrong > Damaged > Plant	Wait, that sawblade won't do! It will just grow back. If you want to remove the plant completely you need to <#CB6825>dig it up</color>.
Wrong > Damaged > Root	Now you're just torturing the poor plant! Look at it, all withered. You need to grab the <#CB6825> seed </color> at the base of its root and pull it out!
Planted > Something > Else	Oh, that's a good idea too! Probably. Now, all we have to do is wait.
Planted > Ogu > Mumin	Ah, what a classic! Now, all we have to do is wait.
Compost > Tutorial	I wish I had some <#CB6825>compost</color> with me. Have you ever tried some? It's old fruit and guts, decomposed to a point where plants can just slurp them up, mhm ja. You can find it underground sometimes. It makes plants grow in no time at all!
Completed > Compost	Would you look at that! Majestic!
Completed > Lair > Tutorial	Have you seen, my friend? The Uloborus have returned to this hill once more. Why they would settle in such a steep place is beyond me, but I reckon they <#CB6825>go where their tunnels take them</color>. Attracting critters like this is the first step to growing any garden! High time to <#CB6825>feed</color> them, mhm ja. In truth, It has been hard for Gärdner to figure out what an Uloborus likes to eat. Some species are tricky like that, mhm ja... I suppose we can try some different foods? Something must tickle their taste buds!
Shortcut > Approach	Our day greets you, my friend. Gärdner knew to find you here. These little friends of mine, they know things, mhm ja. Oh, I'm sorry, I'm sorry. Please, climb up, my friend.
Shortcut > Planted	Something is changing in the Sarcophagus. That's what they seem to be saying to Gärdner. I know they have always been with me... But at the same time, they feel... ... new? What am I saying? Anyway, I'm happy to meet you, my friend. Come, let me show you my garden, mhm ja. Oh, and feel free to eat the fruit I just grew. Riverhearts are delicious! The trick is to plant them right next to a ledge...
Shortcut > Talk	I can't wait for you to see Gärdner's magnificent fruit tree!
Lair > Tutorial	My friend, the wisps are telling me the story of this hill... They whisper that when Vasa first came to the Sarcophagus, she was agitated by beasts that called this place home. She ended up severing their tunnels in the soil to prevent any of their offspring from ever rising to the surface. Gärdner wonders... If the lair is still down there, might it be possible to dig a new tunnel to the surface? Then the creatures could come back, and with time, this place could be a garden again, mhm ja! ... The wisps tell me you might know of the proper tools for this, my friend.
Found > Pod > Explain	I found it in an obscured nook. You seem familiar with it, my friend. Now, there are some nasty functions on that thing, so be careful around the garden with that, mhm ja?
Rescue	Hello, my friend. I hope I'm not interrupting anything? I saw you go down here, and you didn't come back out, so I thought you might need some help, mhm ja. As you can see, my wispy friends can dissolve these dark barriers. Gärdner to the rescue!
Ready > Escape > Ending > A	My friend... Don't worry, Gärdner remembers. We have met before, mhm ja. The wisps and Gärdner took the liberty of returning your Extractor to you, but we weren't sure if you still wanted your sword. We left the sword over there, by the Stasis Chamber. Oh, and we also repaired the chamber!
Ready > Escape > Ending > B	These gardens have grown and thrived through the strangest of times... ... and with the shamasal gone, the wind's humming in the trees is different. Gärdner's mind feels open. It remembers the reason for coming here in the first place. Now, the old stomping grounds of Trellis call for Gärdner to return with all discoveries. Wisp friends have connected with this escape pod here and entwined the biomes to the tune of the cosmos. The pod can carry us both, my friend. Home or wherever our souls yearn to go. Gärdner is ready. When you feel done, enter the pod, and we're off.
Escape > Ending	My friend, you have done everything you could here. There's no shame in leaving things behind. It's just how we make room for new journeys, mhm ja.
Tree > Attacked > 1	Whatever you do to this tree, my friend, new sprouts will emerge on the stump. Now, will it grow back the same again? Probably not. Certainly not. Therein lies the beauty of creation, my friend. Ah, the splendor of regeneration, of change – our only constant! Gärdner is free from the illusions of persistence, my friend. We evolve with the universe. If you're trying to faze me, rest assured, I am unfazed, mhm ja.
Tree > Attacked > 2	Though, if you wouldn't mind... not doing that? That would be fine too.
Tree > Root > Attacked > 1	Ow! Be careful with them roots, my friend, all right? It's not like they will regrow in just an afternoon...
Tree > Root > Attacked > 2	H-hey, that's not funny!
Tree > Destroyed	MY TREE! WHY WOULD YOU DO THAT? You... you MEANIE!
Dont > Talk > To > Me	Don't talk to me. Just don't.
Final > Boss > Warning	Such ominous tremors... Almost like the whole Sarcophagus is falling apart, mhm ja. You look determined, my friend. Are you entering the Humidicrib? It gives me an eerie feeling... Are you sure you're prepared for what's in there? In any case, take these. Fruit always brings Gärdner comfort in stressful situations, mhm ja. Good luck, my friend.
Qualia > Rescue	Oh, how nice to meet you down here, my friend! Gärdner was looking for wet rot in the basement flooring and found more than expected! If you need to get up higher, maybe this can help.
Bad > Seed > A	Wait, my friend.
Bad > Seed > B	Something about planting this seed... in this soil... It gives me the shivers, mhm jah. Here, you can have this back. I'm sure there's a better place for it.

Talk	I cannot allow any rest until every last drop of gegga gets analyzed.
Cannot > Leave	You MUST show me what this device can do.
World > Is > Breaking	Seams are unraveling —'lië 'jke— but what will remain?
Before > Intro	Kshonje? Who goes there?
Intro	Tiumï 'nsho! He who is determined welcomes you, stranger. I am Brunzon –Mbërthyer Nartë– Higher Suggajof from Nartëa. Tell me, how did you experience traversing through the gegga? Could you feel its dormant potential? No? Perhaps just a faint pulse of its former vitality? ... Mark the ripples of my radular membrane – I will dredge up whatever secrets lie within this elusive substance. From the bridge deck, I scan its flow, monitor its density, and log every shadow of a pattern. Now, you have to excuse me. A task of such herculean proportions requires a Nartëan focus.
Detect > Sprayer	Wait a moment, that device of yours... Its design distinctly resembles... the artifact... If they share their origin, I would appreciate a small demonstration. In fact – 'mroni– I insist you show me.
Screen > Damaged	Reckless –'së ijë– like a child. What good did that do? Is this your pattern? your signature? Brute force and destruction?
Shaman > Killed	Kshonje? What is the meaning of this reckless behavior? That artifact was already in the immediate area when the upgrade modules for the refinery got put together. I decided to keep it on the bridge deck for good luck and to compare its energy signature with the gegga. Not even once did I think about subjecting it to brute force. ... Was there gegga inside?
Cannot > Leave	You MUST show me what this device can do.
Dismiss > Sprayer	Çrëja... What did I expect? That it would actually bring me luck? It did not even quiver enough for a proper analysis... You have distracted me from my work long enough, stranger. Tiumï 'qdrim. He who is determined bids you farewell.
At > Exit	I do not recall when I last was this far from the bridge deck... ... but the havoc wrecked by that relic device of yours led me down here. Once you activated it properly, my equipment homed in on its energy signature... ... and suddenly, the innards of the broken artifact, my good-luck piece, responded to the signature from your device. You tried to withhold a crucial piece of the gegga puzzle from me!
Pre > Boss	Jni ënzo! So you think you can just turn your back on me and walk away? Walk away from a breakthrough of that magnitude? Në 'nshaë! Now, suffer the consequences of locking horns with a Nartëan!
Dies	Tiumï 'nsho... my journey changes... 'tiumï 'qdrim... May the sanctified ovum of Nartëa receive me gently...
Notices > Plants	Kshonje? Stranger, what are you doing with that device?
Alt > Defeat	Wait... How can this be? The pattern, the energy signature... ... it's not coming from the device alone... ... it also stems from those plants! ... All this time, I was digging so deep in the gegga that I almost buried myself. Never did I retrace my steps to see past my initial, volatile analysis of the surrounding flora. Focused to a fault on the gegga, I treated the plants as mere distractions and forgot... ... that science thrives on curiosity, the very foundation of empirical research. I, Brunzon –Mbërthyer Nartë– let myself wither. ... It is about time that I shake the gegga from my mantle... ... and, literally, make sure to smell the flowers on the path leading forward.
Revisit	Tiumï 'nsho! You are always welcome here, stranger.
