Kila: I have a question for you. Why did you want the weapon of the Lakoi to begin with?
Pilau: Why? No one would believe I’d found the thing without seeing it for themselves! So my usual people wouldn’t go grab it for me and I had to hire you and… Didn’t I tell you this when I hired you?
Kila: What would you have done with the weapon if we had found it?
Pilau: Uh… shown it to my colleagues… researched it… figured out what it does. But we didn’t find it…
Kila: Would you have sold it?
Pilau: Maybe to a museum, why?
Kila: What would you do if you had the weapon of the Lakoi and it turned out to be highly dangerous and prone to infect the minds of sentient beings?
Pilau: Uh… there are shields I could put on it. I could work around that. Why are you as-
Kila: That’s all I needed to know. So, eh… there you have it.
Pilau: That reminds me? I’m going to owe Frank fifty bucks when I get back empty-handed. Maybe I won’t answer his calls.
Kila: Was it you who prevented me from giving it to him earlier?
RK-12: Yes. I’m s-sorry. I thought you wouldn’t know…
Kila: Do not tamper with my mind again. Anyway, the device is yours. You could give it to Kao and be free of it, if you choose. My business lies elsewhere.
