-to work... [A man is speaking, muttering gruffly. He's accompanied by a thump, as if someone hit his terminal (that would be because he did). For a few moments afterwards, there is silence, ended by a somewhat satisfied grunt.]

So, we're supposed to use these things to talk to each other? [From his tone, it's clear that he considers this a dubious idea at best.]

[There's a hint of shifting cloth, the creak of a chair, but the silence is shorter this time.] Right, then can anyone tell me where to buy decent cigars?

Close enough to it.

[badge_177]

[He grunts.]

And people still don't know what's hurting this turtle?

[This turtle should be tougher. And bigger. Much bigger.]

[lostundercover]

People are working to figure it out right now. It's complicated.

[badge_177]

Magic?

It's better to leave that to the wizards.

[lostundercover]

It's not just magic. It's medical. People are growing food too, the old-fashioned way. There's a lot happening.

[badge_177]

...They weren't growing food before?

[lostundercover]

It wasn't growing right.

[badge_177]

...Because the turtle is hurt.

[The turtle shouldn't effect the dirt...he didn't think so, at least. But then again, magic.]

[lostundercover]

[Costigan still refuses to acknowledge the Turtle Factor.]

Because the land isn't conducive to growing crops right now.
