>>> AUCTIONEER "TH3D4RK"
"Up for bid: one busted probe fragment dug outta the gravel around the Big Hole.
No, not that hole—**THE** hole. You know. That one."
“Signal log’s fried but still loops the same line every thirty seconds.
I won’t spoil it, but let’s just say it thinks you’re listening from *home*.”
“Authenticity guaranteed by, uh, me. Starting at 5 million ISK.”
>>> BIDDER "VelKros"
“Does it glow? I only buy glowing things.”
>>> BIDDER "NullJuice"
“Translation log shows T.SOL and timestamp 8057.
So… pre-Gate collapse? Or someone with a laser engraver and a sense of humor.”
>>> BIDDER "ChyssraB1"
“I’ll bid 8M and three Red Blade injectors if the voice loop is creepy.”
>>> AUCTIONEER
“Oh it’s *very* creepy. Sounds like a whisper from underwater.
Might be in English or Gallente or screaming. Hard to tell.”

“If it says ‘We’re still here,’ I’ll double it.”
>>> BIDDER "P4NX"
