|text=Barathrum needs you for an undertaking of great importance. You must journey to &COmonporch&y far to the north. There the Spindle stretches from earth to sky. Unfortunately, a troublesome merchant from the Consortium of Phyta has relocated there and declared itself Earl of Omonporch. We need you to broker a deal so that we may lease control of the Spindle. Failing that, you'll need to dispose of the self-appointed Earl.
Be careful on your approach to Omonporch, journeyfriend. So far east into the reaches of Qud, the Putus Templar lie in wait.}}

Take care that you do not find yourself inside one of their slave pens.}}

Go to her room, access Ereshkigal, and scan the shale surrounding the enclave for anomalies. I've asked her to ready her sensors.
Update me with what you learn. You may use the intercom in the northeast corner of Ereshkigal's room to deliver your update.
Go, quickly! I'd soon be disabused of my fears.}}

After the rumbling has been investigated:
{{qud dialogue|nodetitle=Start
|text=It's as I feared, =name=. Grit Gate is being assailed. The Putus Templar must have followed you back from Omonporch.
Let us use the precious little time we have before they arrive to prepare our defenses.}}

{{qud dialogue|nodetitle=BeginCallToArms
|text=With the chrome key card I gave you, you now have access to our power grid. There are chain laser emplacements and force projectors across the enclave. Use Ereshkigal's reconnaissance to decide which defenses to enable. You can also broadcast an overclock command or activate Rodanis Y by interfacing with Ereshkigal.
Be mindful of the amperage draw, though. If you overdraw the grid, you could cause brownouts.
Act quickly, =name=! The Templar near us even as we speak.}}

==The Assessment==

The attack today reminds us: for too long have we put our faith in the isolation of our guild and the preoccupations of the Putus Templar. The looming threat of another attack impels Barathrum to accelerate his plans, and with them, your position in our guild.
You are raised to Disciple, =player.formalAddressTerm=. Barathrum wishes to speak with you immediately.}}
