Changeless Heart has been constructed, to the admiration of all. The order now means to build on it and extend the water-rail network throughout the mountain. The work is complex, and there is no one better suited than you to serve as Chief Artisan.
—Luo Anyuan
With that bullheaded temper of yours, what mountain are you going out into? Stay here where you belong and serve as Chief Artisan.
—Old Man Zheng
I have disagreed with the Chief Artisan nine times and lost all nine debates. But this time is not a matter of craft. I ask that you think carefully. In an age without an enlightened ruler, every undertaking beyond the mountain is bound to meet resistance. There is no more you can accomplish out there than you can here. You should remain in your post until the water rails are complete, then reconsider. Why rush out only to make life harder for yourself? Think it over. Think it over well.
—Li Siyuan
Elder Crane and many of the Mohists' finest have already left the mountain, and those who remain are too few to carry things on. As Elder Crane's first disciple, you must not leave.
—Qi Qi

Note: Having grasped the essence of Mohism, I should devote myself fully to its greater purpose. What remains in the mountain can be left to Raven for practice. My craft is ready. With it, I can help bring peace to the world.
