Gadd: "I need to extract the essence. Vekk! Bring me a canopic jar!"

Gadd: "No, no, NO! A jar, not a crystal! You idiot!"

Vekk: "You should be using an ether crystal. Extracting with a jar is unsafe."

Gadd: "Don't lecture me about safety! You've always been too timid in your research, Vekk."

Gadd: "You never fail to disappoint me."

Vekk: "I swear, if we didn't need him, I would shove him off a bridge."

Gadd: "I heard that! Livia! Hold this while I make the extraction."

Gadd: "This might hurt a little."

Livia: "If you're extracting the stone's essence, the energies could kill me."

Gadd: "Then get one of the other humans to do it. Don't bother me with trifles."

Livia: "Vekk's right. You should use an ether crystal. It would be safer."

Gadd: "Ether crystals aren't free. Bookahs willing to take the risk are cheaper."

Livia: "That's what you think of my people? They have no value to you?"

Gadd: "Not my problem. Are you going to help or not?"

Livia: "You've had "mishaps" before. You rush things and others pay the price."

Livia: "This is wrong. You're wrong. I refuse to be a part of this. I'm sorry."

Gadd: "Fine! Run off and leave me with the dirty work. Everyone wants results but no one wants to pay the price."

Gadd: "So who do I have to kill to get some decent HELP around here?"

This Bloodstone may have been the same one the Mursaat intended to sacrifice Evennia and Saidra on in the mission Ice Caves of Sorrow.
Ironically, the ether crystal Vekk holds appears to be a red Balthazate Crystal.

Canopic Jars were used by the ancient Egyptians to store vital organs during mummification.
