We could lend you our influence—it's more powerful than what others would be able to give you—and if you could sway First-Keeper Naarabot from her course in Meepsoor... we'd make it worth your time.
That's a lot to ask, isn't it? I know the honor for success must be extremely great . . . and listen, I gotta be real with you. Even for great rewards, I wouldn't normally accept that kind of work because if it's something you can't do yourself, the risk has to be pretty great, right?

She's been pretty invested with this stuff, and I can't help but want to spoil her! I imagine it's probably strange to see a noble get so enchanted by this sort of person . . . and you know how much appearances matter. But she's a passionate girl, and I love listening to her talk about science! It's hard to resist!
Well, Britain's all about the scientific development these days... we're even taking in those troublemakers Germany exiled, for better or for worse, and even women can join the academies now by mandate of Queen Victoria. Perhaps we could lend you some influence toward your experiments, if you're willing to allow us access to the final product.

Of course you will be allowed access to the final product.

Well, unless you have something else you need of me, do not let me interrupt your time any further. I already appreciate the generosity given so far.
