Ballas: smirking ANCIENT TECH. MY CONTROL. FINAL DOMINANCE.
What? You think I wanted this? You think I wanted to be here, fighting? No. But someone had to screw it up. And that someone was you.
i only screwed it up if you count me screwing up your plans to enslave the galaxy as screwing it up.
sighs heavily Fine, you can be here. But don't think you're gonna make any difference.
so you want to use a million year old tech to achieve final dominance over the galaxy?
smirking Oh, you have no idea. This ancient tech... it's unstoppable. It will crush anyone who dares stand in our way.
im actually curious how you pulled the moon.
leans in, grinning You wanna know how I pulled the moon? Fine, I'll tell you. It was all about understanding the delicate balance of gravity.
what do you mean by delicate balance?
leans back, gesturing with his hands The delicate balance of gravity is like a fine dance.
so what are you doing now? still trying to find something to beat the starchart?
smirking Oh, you have no idea. I've been delving deeper into the ancient tech, finding hidden secrets that even you wouldn't believe.
oooooooo ancient secrets that even i wouldn't believe. sounds fun, where are ya?

so this is what you used to pull the moon?
As Ballas demonstrates the power of the ancient artifact, a surge of energy goes awry, causing a massive explosion that rocks the room and sends Liplatesa flying across the floor.
rushing over to Liplatesa, checking for injuries Are you alright? That was not supposed to happen.
yeah, just a little sore. what the hell happened back there?
brushing off some debris from the exploded artifact It seems the ancient tech is more unstable than I anticipated.
runs a hand through his hair, frustrated I thought I had it figured out. But apparently, there's more to this ancient tech than I knew.
well, maybe we could look into it together or somethin
pauses, considering the offer Fine. We'll look into it together. But don't expect any special treatment just because we're old friends.
well, first we should probably start with what happened in that room.
starts gathering any remaining pieces of the destroyed artifact Alright, let's start by analyzing what's left of the artifact.
