Description
You always gotta have a contingency plan in case your main plan backfires! That's why I've built in some anti-intelligence systems into the construct. Your shiny new ride might rouse some suspicion while you're at Baelgun's excavation site. That's what your bluff ability is for! Just use that any time you're confronted and you'll be safe from harm. Test it out on Lebronski by walking on his rug. Once he starts huffin' and puffin', use the bluff! Get on the work bench when you're ready to begin.

Where this quest fits
Before this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- Iron Rune Constructs and You: Collecting Data
The most important part of your job while controlling the construct is the collection of data. I've placed an iron dwarf relic in the cart over yonder. It's the floating, lightning infused crystal. Get on the work bench and I'll put you back in the construct.
After this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- Lightning Infused Relics
Your construct is ready to go. All abilities have been given a once over and I've programmed the machine to both comprehend and speak the language of the titans.
