Welcome to the Galactic Gearbox
shop. What sort of trinket are
you in the market for?

We've got some dazzling
earrings made with the
finest silver. Step right up!

You don't have much in the way
of weapons and armor, do you?

Fraid not, ma'am.
We focus on aesthetics here. ♪

We didn't exactly come
here to go shopping.

Heh, that's right.
I'd almost forgotten.

Well, if you're not here to shop,
what is it we can help you with?

We're actually wondering if you
can shed some light on the
method for refining Everlight.

Hey, you think he means that
stuff Kale had written down
in that old book of his?

That would be my best guess.

...That's it! That's what
Nobis is looking for!

I dunno what we'd have done
without that old book.

Processing Everlight is a pretty
tricky business, you see.

Would you consider lending it to us?
We could even make a copy for
ourselves if it isn't too long.

Problem is, we don't
have it anymore.

The Imperial Knights came
some time ago, and took it
with them when they left.

The Knights took it? I haven't
heard anything about that.

Whoa, hold on. I'm bein'
framed, framed I tell ya!

Ya happen ta hear what this group
of knights called themselves?

Wasn't it somethin' like
the Cumore Brigade?

...Cumore...

...Never thought we'd be hearing
that name all the way out here.

Yeah, he snatched that book right
up. Called it “heretical”. 'Course,
he was just feedin' us a line.

You should have seen his face light
up when he first heard us mention it.

He must have seen it as a
sure-fire way to start making
some heavy weaponry.

It's the no-talent hacks that
always seem obsessed with
making the biggest toys.

Well, what now? If Cumore
took it with him, then...

I'd imagine the Knights'd
keep a pretty close eye on
the stuff they confiscate.

Not too familiar with the
protocol myself, though.

Well, as a general rule, confiscated items
were always under the jurisdiction of the
Schwann Brigade...

What? Starin' at me ain't
gonna help. I'm not that
Schwann guy, ya know...

Oh yeah...?

Sounds like Schwann was even more
disorganized than I'd thought.

Organizing lost items is paperwork,
so it's not surprising that the captain
wouldn't know about it.

Ya know, this one's not
so bad after all!

Thank you.
Unless it's a recent acquisition, I
should have a copy of the report.

...Sorry.
I can't find anything about
any sort of manual.

Oh well...
Maybe we should check out Cumore's
place back in Zaphias, then.
