Story

Good to see you again. I've found out some interesting things about the type of metal used to construct this plate, but I haven't been able to determine what's inside. Apparently, we need to decode the password. As much as I hate to admit it, I think we need Nikola's help to solve this riddle. Would you go visit him for me -- I'm still worried about the fight we had...
It seems that this metal plate is actually an ancient recording device used in a research lab in the Tower of Cruma. Please tell that to Nikola, and ask him to help us solve the password. Perhaps we can set aside our differences in the face of this amazing new discovery...
