>"Maybe it would be good for you to give us some more details on what you do, Orin?"
> Orin steps forward and casts her eyes downward.
> "Well, i-it's a little hard to explain, but I could try. See, the ears on my head can zero in on sounds of impending death, like during a brutal fight or the death rattle of someone older. It's not exact though, since it only gives me an idea or where a corpse can be found, so I still have to do some searching myself, both here and topside."
> "An' then ya take 'em and burn 'em and that means we get th' sake flowin'?"
> "N-no, not exactly. The dead are burned, but the power doesn't come directly from that fire. instead, that fire is used to provide the power for Okuu to use nuclear fusion to split atoms and, ah-!"
> Orin finally looks up in time to see Yuugi's blank stare and recoils a bit.
> "Um, it provides power for...a series of reactions that produce even more power then would result from burning the bodies alone."
> "So then, ya wan' us to gatha up our own dead an' dump 'em off somewheres fer ya ta grab 'em easy so ya don't hafta look around for 'em, that right?"
> "Um, it'd be a big help and more efficient that way."
> "An' like I said, whaddabout up there? Said ya go topside, right?"
> "Um, y-yeah. This would, um, give me more time to search topside for corpses. It's a lot bigger out there than down here, so every bit helps."
> Yuugi turns to you and jabs her thumb in Orin's direction.
> "So, ya wan' us ta help her? I can make this happen, pitch it ta th' other two Devas an' get some support for it 'n' pass the word around that this is happenin' but I ain't gon' do it fer free. Firs', ya wan' what I gotcha fer th' party earlier?"
