You say, 'Hail Associate Researcher Plik' Associate Researcher Plik says 'Ah, so Prim Researcher Elnot sent you to speak with the Sphinx about our [problem] yes? You say, 'What problem?' Associate Researcher Plik says 'I'm sure you are quite aware of the crisis facing the city and our failing powersource. After a long and confusing conversation with the sphinx, Yinihortinkah, I am quite sure that there is some valuable information there, if only I had the time to accept the [challenge] that Yinihortinkah has issued. You say 'I will accept the challenge' Associate Researcher Plik says 'Excellent _____! Please return when you have spoken with Yinihortinkah.' You have been assigned the task 'Knowledge for Power'. Enter Quatermary Pyramid in Jewel of Atiiki 0/1 (Jewel of Atiiki) Speak with Yinihortinkah and accept her challenge 0/1 (Jewel of Atiiki) Kill all efreetis, scarabs, etc. on the way to Yinihortinkah, clearing the bottom floor. Speak with Yin. You say, 'Hail, Yinihortinkah' Yinihortinkah says 'I see that you have entertained yourselves with my efreeti... I do hope that you are not too weary to accept my [challenge].' You say, 'I accept your challenge' Yinihortinkah says 'My blind efreeti have senses so sharp they can detect even the smallest nearby creature. I challenge you to evade them...If you are [ready] we may begin the challenge, be sure to follow the [rules].' You say, 'What rules?' Yinihortinkah says 'The rules are quite simple. Evade my blind efreeti for several minutes without leaving the pyramid. If you fail the challenge, return to me, and you may attempt it again...If you win, return to me, and I will answer the question you have come here to ask.' The other sphinx in the room, Dezthazkekol, stands to the side. You say, 'Hail Dezthazkekol' Dezthazkekol smiles broadly, '...srekees eht edave ot uoy wolla lliw roolf rewol eht no gnidih ylnO .egnellahc noisave eht gnitpecca erofeb sroolf rewol eht raelc ot esiw eb dluow uoY' (revsersed reads- "You would be wise to clear the lower floors before accepting the evasion challenge. Only hiding on the lower floor will allow you to evade the seekers...") Once your group is in hiding position, say 'ready' (to Yin). You say, 'We are ready' Yinihortinkah says 'My efreeti are moving into position for he challenge, I suggest that you run out and hide quickly before I release them.' Evade the first wave of Efreeti seekers 0/1 (Jewel of Atiiki) You have a few minutes to get into a hiding place in any room on the bottom floor. You are advised to clear the entire bottom floor of zone to avoid the six roaming blind seekers. The seekers use five pathing patterns to try and find you: Azia, Beza, Caza, Dena, and Ena.

Choose your [words] carefully and correctly.' You say, 'Words?' Yinihortinkah smirks, 'Words are the basic atom of speech, and thank you for asking your one question...' You say, 'Hail, Yinihortinkah' Yinihortinkah grins evily, 'Oh? You wanted to ask me another question? I see...well, I suppose if you were to tell me how [great], [wonderful], [clever] and [intelligent] I am, I might be persuaded to answer another question.' You say, 'You are great, wonderful, clever and intelligent.' Yinihortinkah smiles smugly, 'Well I suppose you are so clever that I will allow you one more question.' You say 'What is causing the powersource to fail?' Yinihortinkah says 'The powersource does not function as you might imagine... in fact, it is not even a source, rather a conduit that serves to channel the power from the true powersource... it is that source which is failing, not the supposed powersource of the Combine.'
