Reaver first finds a few pieces of paper, a pen, ink, and some string, and writes,
"Miranda, I have discovered something that I believe will be of great interest to you." He takes this note and hangs it on the door to the library. Next he pulls out the symbols on the old wood and copies the symbols from them onto sheets of paper. After this is done he puts the signs and the paper with the symbols in his bag and starts his research. Reaver briefly considered researching lichsätkynukke, but discarded that possibility. From what he remembered about those, they were corpses that had been turned into puppets, and those Artiganics had seemed, for lack of a better term, alive to him. One of them had even been coughing and choking, something an animated corpse would not do. The only other possibility would be that someone had brought the corpses back to life, and Reaver sincerely doubted that anyone would bring a corpse back to life just to make it a puppet when it could have been done so much more easily by simply turning the subject into a mindless, obedient undead. Reaver decides that the symbols will turn up the most useful information and starts his research there.

If Reaver can't find anything useful about the symbols before Miranda arrives, he will start research on homunculi. If that proves futile and Miranda still hasn't shown, Reaver will start researching lichsätkynukke. If Miranda shows up alone, Reaver will tell the whole story, show the symbols on the paper, and ask for additional information. If Miranda shows up with someone else, Reaver will sit quietly until acknowledged. If he is asked what the discovery is while Miranda is, Reaver will say that, while curious, it is an item of minor importance and can wait until later.
