Transcript
While Tauro and I were taking a break, he asked me, "Hey, Calip, what attracted you to join the Zonai Survey Team?" A little flustered, I answered that I heard its research division was led by a brilliant man by the name of Tauro. Because of you, essentially. I mean it sincerely, and in my heart, I longed to continue..."You're not like these other dullards, you know. You immediately grasp the breadth of my vision." Of course, no such thing passed my lips. But I am certain that Tauro, and no one else, is the man who can help the world see my indescribable worth.
Our leader Tauro has done nothing but surprise me since I joined the Zonai Survey Team. One day, I arrived at the research site to find him sitting on bare earth as he stared at a stone slab. I wished him a good morning, and to that he turned to me and said..."Ah, Calip. Sorry I didn't notice you. Working overtime today, huh?" I thought back to the night before. As I was heading in, I saw Tauro sitting on bare earth, examining a stone slab. It hit me then-he had stayed up all through the night puzzling over the slab, never moving from his perch. I felt a profound envy of his ability to focus so completely that the passing of time escaped his notice.
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 peoples' 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! - Dr. Calip
