It's a researcher's duty to use his wisdom and intuition to bring to light historical truths which the ruins would keep secret. We carry on the work of our forebears and continue our pursuit tirelessly, then pass what we learn to those who come after. Our leader Tauro understands well that this is not a task that can be completed in a single generation. He says this is why he wants to make so many discoveries, even if the credit to whom they belong is lost. That's the sort of man Tauro is. But I, Dr. Calip, won't be so easily satisfied. My discoveries will be noteworthy, to be sure, but it is my name that I want to live on forever. Not just in people's memories, but in books, stone tablets, and—if I might be a trifle immodest—landmarks! Calip Valley, Calip River, the Calip Hills... My dreams recognize no boundaries!

I think that Nicholas Locarno wanted to end his Academy career in a blaze of glory, that he convinced the four of you to learn the Kolvoord Starburst for the commencement demonstration. If it worked, it would thrill the assembled guests, and Locarno would graduate as a living legend. Only it didn't work. And Joshua Albert paid the price.
