Dialogue
Introduction
- Nicholas Winter: You. You're like a bad itch that can't be scratched.
- Nicholas Winter: You know why I came up here? To sell it all off, the whole park. So that I wouldn't end up like my father. Stuck to this place.
- Nicholas Winter: There's gravity here.
- Nicholas Winter: I don't know who they are, but they have money, and ways to convince you that it would be in your best interest to sell.
- Nicholas Winter: I didn't care. I didn't need to be blackmailed to sign a contract. What in the name of hell do I want an amusement park for? But now...
- Nicholas Winter: Now I couldn't imagine selling. It's got its claws in me, like it had my father, and it won't let go. It owns me, feeds on me.
- Nicholas Winter: There's no escaping gravity.
- Nicholas Winter: Time I've invested in you, I figured you'd come up with something. But all you've give me is grief, and now they're coming for me. For whatever dark secrets this tomb holds.
- Nicholas Winter: They're like you - special. Part of another world, a secret world. Convinced they run the place, that the rest of us are just... shadows.
- Nicholas Winter: Even if I knew how to escape gravity, even if... even if I wanted to... something tells me I shouldn't.
- Nicholas Winter: I don't know what'll happen to this place, and the world, if I do.

Report
Dragon
Nathaniel Winter believed he could obtain occult power in four easy steps: find the Architect who sails the Calypso Deep; outbid the Phoenicians for his anima capacitor design; use the design to build a park that harvests occult energy; infuse it into himself.
Countless deaths and dollars later, one must conclude that occult power requires much more than deep pockets and the screams of children.
It was an enlightening test. We learned how someone with near infinite means would go about constructing a capacitor. Perhaps more importantly, we learned how far a man would go to acquire what he could never have.
The Architect has been informed of the results.
Illuminati
Old moneybags was looking to harvest occult energy and infuse it into himself. The kind of power he was after would usually require years - even lifetimes - of secluded study. Oh, and a little something called talent. Winter thought he could bypass all that with cash. Lots of it.
I'm all for pay-to-win, but at some point you need to cut your losses. Occult powers are like strings on the President - you either wield them or you don't. The capacitor plans are a real nice-to-have. As for the amusement park - it's totally gauche and expendable.
Fun fact: never a bad time to kill Phoenicians.
Templar
A giant anima capacitor, of course! Ingenious design, though conceptually misguided. One cannot harvest that amount of occult energy through mechanical means and expect to come out the better for it.
Nathaniel Winter fancied himself becoming the greatest magus in the world. Unfortunately, he lacked any innate talent for magic, and thought he could buy his way into wizardry. Well, it doesn’t work that way.
Phoenicians – they do fine at pilfering and scurrying back to sea, but a sustained presence on land doesn’t suit them at all. Unless they were planning to construct a water park, it was never going to be a good fit.
