"Don't mind them." The Grizzled Gaffer directs you to a pedal powered device. "We all have to do the worst jobs from time to time. Their turn's over. Yours, now." |
| 2 | The Masterly Machinist sighs. "For someone who boasts […] you certainly complain a lot. My grandpa whines less and he's got arthritis in both his front paws."
[…] the Machinist directs you to a pedal powered device. "[…] You'll be rescued next shift." |

| 1 | "Don't mind them." The Grizzled Gaffer directs you to a pedal powered device. "No one likes this job, but they're the ones built for endurance. They know they're the best at it." |
| 2 | The Masterly Machinist laughs – a high, chittering noise. "If I remember right, you volunteered[…] Something about 'the only rat fit for the role'?"
Once the cat-sized rat has gone, he directs you to a pedal powered device. "Have at it then. Enjoy!" |
| 3 | "Oh bless." The Eager Engineer is entirely unsympathetic. "I was almost impressed when you volunteered for the role. […] More fool me."
[…] she directs you to a pedal powered device. "It was old fashioned even at the Fall. But it works well enough." |

| 1 | The Grizzled Gaffer intercedes. "No harm was intended, I'm sure." He inclines his head, indicating that you should move away, and continues soothing the rat. "They're just a human. They don't understand." |
| 2 | The Masterly Machinist closes his eyes and takes a deep breath. "Please. Leave me to deal with this. You've done enough." From a distance, you observe him encouraging the mollified rat back to her labours. |
| 3 | "Oo er – you've only gone and done it." The Eager Engineer bares her teeth in sympathy. "We'd better make ourselves scarce. I'll get ma to calm her down." |
