Nah, no deal.
Piss off brev, you ain't got the scratch.
No coin, no deal.
This ain't no charity.
Where's the coin?
Beggin’ ain’t gonna work.
Merrick
Be seein' you again real soon I hope.
Come back again... I'll have plenty more!
Come back any time, brev!
Thanks for your patronage!
Careful out there, brev.
Good doing business with you, brev.
Off you go then. Try not to die!
Thanks for nothing.
Fuckin' bludger.
Bring more coin next time!
What? Are you done?
Big spender, huh?
Next time, I better hear those pockets jinglin'.
That's it?
Well, look at this, your Mether brought me back.
And she said I could charge you more, too.
For being an asshole.
You got some nerve coming back here.
But your Mether made things right.
So, fine keep buyin’, but all prices are going up.
Hey, you there!
You’re that special brev, right?
I’ve got something nice for ya.
Oi, me best customer!
Come on over.
I’ve got a special offer.
One time only.
Welcome back, skullface.
Hope you brought more coin this time around.
Welcome back, brev!
Welcome to my humble shop!
I’ve got whatever you need.
For a price of course.
If it isn't my best patron.
Or... well, really my only patron.
Well, look what the Grisha dragged in!
You're back, huh?
Hope you brought more coin this time around.
G’day, brev—are we browsin’ or buyin’?
G’day, brev! If you got coin, come on over.
Mether’s milk!
Is that… Proxima?
No, it can’t be.
Well…
Look at you, brev.
I hope you’re treatin’ her well.
I heard you did it… you killed the Hexapod.
Good.
Proxima would be… pleased.
If she were here.
And by her hands, too.
What do you want?
You’re back, huh?
(sigh) You again?
Well, let’s see some coin.
Watch it.
What the hell, brev?
You wanna have a go?
Piss off.
Try me. I dare you.
(groans in pain)
You… lousy… bastard.
What was that for?
I’ll remember this… brev.
What… the hell… was that?
Watch it. He’s a tough old boy, but not that tough.
Careful, brev. Louis ain’t no training dummy.
Oi, twat! Touch him again and you’re dead.
Stop it you fuckin’ oaf or I’ll kill ya.
You bastard!
You’ll pay for that.
First one’s free.
But I got plenty more, if you got coin.
Just come visit your new friend, Merrick.
First one’s free.
Is it true… you, uh, can bring back the dead.
If they’re special or… somethin’?
I’ll take that as a… yes?
The shop’s a mess right now.
But, uh, give me some time and I’ll have it sorted.
Anyway, come back soon.
Is it true… you, uh, can bring back the dead.
If they’re special or… somethin’?
I’ll take that as a… yes?
I won’t pretend I understand it all, buuuuut…
It turns out I’m a special brev, too.
So keep your hands off me.
Apparently, this is my divine purpose… or whatever.
(scoffs) I don’t know about all that.
But I’ll take the coin for now.
You see, I got big plans for it one day.
Anyway, don’t try that again.
Or it will cost ya.
I’m glad… you know.
She didn’t die for nothin’.
Her purpose… it’s fulfilled.
I wonder… what kinda life she or maybe even we could've had.
If things went a little different.
I don’t think she’d be settlin’ down.
But maybe we coulda had a few more… misadventures.
Anyway, thanks for taking care of her.
How’s your head feelin’?
Hope I knocked some sense into it.
Here’s the deal, brev.
I’ll give you all the coin I got.
All you gotta do is bring Proxima back to life.
Fair?
What? You won’t do it?
Or you can’t do it?
Come on.
There’s gotta be a way.
Through the Mether, all things are possible, right?
Well, what’s the point of all this coin?
Fine. Forget it.
I’ll do it myself.
Thank you… brev.
Anything ticklin' your fancy?
...
You found her, huh?
You know she was huntin’ down this nasty beast.
The… Hexapod.
Maybe she still can… in a way. With your help.
Sorry I’m babblin’.
It’s just strange, seeing her again.
But it’s not really her, right?
Anyway, let’s get down to business.
Anyway, let’s get down to business.
Picked ‘em this mornin’.
A delicasey… in some places.
Take ‘em all.
More of a nut than a seed, but I didn’t name it.
Warm to the touch.
Smells like a bonfire.
It almost looks familiar.
Collect ‘em all!
It's all yours, brev.
But... you gonna buy anything else?
You can read, right?
It’s simple really. You’re here, go there.
You got yourself a treasure hunt.
Now just don’t go dyin’ ok?
Now that is some valuable paper.
You got yourself a deal.
That’ll show you the way.
Just follow my scribbles—you’ll be fine.
That map’s hand-crafted by yours truly.
They say knowledge is power… but it's really more, opportunity ain’t it?
Ah... tastes like simpler times.
That’ll put some hair on your chest.
Bottoms up, brev.
That’s some fine booze right there.
All yours, brev.
A fine piece of merchandise.
Beguiling, ain’t it?
Careful now. It might zap ya.
I mined it me-self… sorta.
You sure that’s enough?
Anything else?
Come on. You could buy more.
That’s quality.
Hard as rock, old as dirt.
Use it wisely. Or not. What do I care?
Tastes… spicy, right?
That’ll toughen you up.
Not for the faint of heart… or mouth.
Poisonous, but useful.
Surely, this’ll help ya in battle.
Funny little thing—ain’t it?
Genuine Tarstone.
That’s one-of-a-kind.
A real gem that one.
That, I’m told, is very rare.
You like? There’ll be more soon. Probably.
They’re good for ya… I think.
“Red-head, never dead!” Or so they say.
A good ‘shroom at a good price.
Tasty… if rubbery.
Was that really your plan?
What are you doing?
Leave me.
If the Hexapod returns...
I... I can't protect you.
Just go.
I’m not leaving you here to die.
I probed your mind.
You are Merrick.
A “merchant.”
You got that from stabbin’ me?
The Biosampler does not stab.
It probes.
Right.
You will assist me then.
We must find the Hexapod.
It cannot mature.
Sure, but you’ll owe me… strange woman.
You may call me Proxima.
(groans)
Take it easy.
Here.
Hunger’s a universal language, right?
See. We could be friends.
How ‘bout another?
Hey, easy! I’m not your enemy.
(groans)
What the hell was that?
Hm. Your blood is clean.
We may converse.
Wait… you know the common tongue?
