Quest text

What the quest giver says.

‹name›, ‹class› and ‹race› stand for your character’s.

Looks like your work here is done, ‹class›. You'd better head back to the Crossroads. Luckily for you, my Silver Bullet X-831 prototype is finished, and she's ready for a test drive. Whaddaya say you do me one last favor and take her for a little spin? One of my assistants will accompany you. Your sweet, sweet ride is waiting on the platform behind me. Just hop on when you're ready.
