"Lord Sotha Sil deemed it uncouth to give my parts eyes, but each has a wide array of sensors. I can orient myself on Nirn by the air's smell and the earth's feel."

Dialogue[]

The Precursor

"My left arm was filled with some sort of dirt ... no, sand? Yes, Alik'r sand if I'm not mistaken! I'd know that sedimentary composition anywhere."

"Oh, my poor right arm. It's going to rust at this rate, what with all the steam! Quick, you'll find it in southern Bangkorai. Grab it before it's too late!"

"Ah, the pleasant sensation of Riften grass on my thigh. I'm tempted to leave my left leg there, but my gyroscope is calibrated for two lower limbs."

"My right leg, consigned to the nether region of a Dwarven sphere fabricator? The ignominy! I thought the Rourken of Sentinel would show more respect."

"My pelvis feels the languid breeze of Deshaan air among the flavors of a Dwemer cavern. One can never quite forget that combination of tastes."

"I feel chills down my spine. Literally! I haven't experienced a chill like this since Lord Seht took me to Windhelm."

"Well, let me see ... or rather feel. My right hand is positively sticky! Must be Deshaan air. I also feel several regular vibrations. Perhaps a room full of steam pistons? Yes, I believe so."

"My dynamo core feels stiff as a plank! Oh yes, I know this feeling. Huh. Who'd have thought there was a reasearch table in Stros M'Kai?"

"Lost within the Radius. High upon a cliff. Shining pink petals above. I think the Ventral Terminus is nearby? I'm sure I'll understand the symbolism once you return my integral of introspection"

Your memories are quite vivid. "Lord Sotha Sil deemed it uncouth to give my parts eyes, but each has a wide array of sensors. I can orient myself on Nirn by the air's smell and the earth's feel. Why my pelvis even has gustatory sensors! I suspect that's Lord Vivec's contribution"

Gustatory sensors ... Lord Vicec ...? "I mean, of course I have no proof that he had a part of my creation, but I like to think so! My dramatic flair, my poetic soul. It helps set me apart from the rest of my siblings. To sense, to touch, to feel. What gifts I have been given!"
