Put everyone here in danger to get a hold of these and croaked in the Shroud before they could even try to sell them.” He turns to one of the many workstations and snags a crowbar from a pile of tools, offering it out between the two of them. His expression turns a touch serious. “Some Allagan tech makes its way here because the Grand Companies want to keep it away from people, but. These seemed important when I saw them in Gridania. Different from the kind scavengers usually find. I thought you should see them before anyone else.”
