"uh, that's mister conrad for you! but ya, i'm always right, hah!"

"oh, i was thinking the key to the final boss are those lights in the sky. you know how we got transported with these lights? what if all four cities get their light shit fixed and then it summons all of us to the final boss and we fight it. sounds promising, right? right?!

"aight mister conrad. final boss stuff aside, i think the boss for this spot is probably ... "

*he looks around, then points to the observatory*

" ... i dunno, up there? seems like a pog spot for a boss."

BALLONLEA

"priam conrad?"

aaron faust priam conrad

BALLONLEA

"ooh, i'm that popular that you got my first name with that? that's nice."

"that's not really important right now, though."

aaron faust FERNANDO SILPH

BALLONLEA

"you guys know each other?"

priam conrad FERNANDO SILPH

BALLONLEA

"he's a team rocket spy."

he wrinkles his nose in disapproval.

"but i suppose you're right. the observatory then?"

aaron faust priam conrad

BALLONLEA

"that's rude. i wasn't spying, it was just a coincidence that i worked there too, but anyways."

"what's in the observatory again? mister councilman distracted me."

aaron faust FERNANDO SILPH

BALLONLEA

"w — wait, you can't just drop that shit on me and move on! are you seriously a fuckin' rocket spy, blue dude?"

priam conrad FERNANDO SILPH

BALLONLEA

"no. apparently it's just a coincidence."

"surely."

he starts for the observatory.

"even if the boss isn't there, the observatory will give us a better vantage point."

aaron faust priam conrad

BALLONLEA

"ya i'm not a spy, don't worry. you think i got the finesse for that?"

"what's there to find from a high vantage point? there's like a bunch of those hand things everywhere anyways."

aaron faust FERNANDO SILPH

BALLONLEA

"but you're a rocket? bro, what the fu — never mind."

*he follows them because he has nowhere else to go.*

"we could see some shit in the sky up there or, i dunno, on top of one of these old buildings? height advantage, bro."

priam conrad FERNANDO SILPH

BALLONLEA

"there's only so many of us at this location."

"objects of interest, anomalies."

"such as that weird glow on your arm, conrad."

BALLONLEA

"that's why you shouldn't antagonize me. i might just get upset and go away, and you won't get the front row seats for this thing!"

"oh, right. this thing reacted to something before we got here, right? do you wanna find that thing is from up here?"
