Dear Laura,
Firstly, I'd like to thank you for your assistance in my previous dilemma. After telling the Hand about your morning tea, he confessed and forked over the dough (or tea, rather). Us Norns now have quite a large stock of tea. And this has brought on a new issue. Upon hearing of our stock of tea, the Ettins came to our terrarium. They said that they would like some tea, and that they're tired after gathering gadgets from around the ship all day. We figured we should probably ask for something in return. So tell us Laura, what is one scoop of tea herbs worth?

Dear Previously Craving Tea,
Our Ettin neighbours are a hardworking species, well known for their technical expertise. So, with these assets at your disposal, why don?t you strike a deal with them; their skills in exchange for a share of your tea supply? A provisional Tea Leaf Tariff could be: '12.5 g: Deliver agents to friends and family in the other terrariums. 14 g: A loan of any hoarded gadget. 25 g: Restock all of the vendors. 40 g: Oil any creaky elevators. 50 g: Build a new blueprint for the Norn Terrarium.' I?m sure you can negotiate the terms. Just be careful not to exploit the Ettins' services and good nature, otherwise I can foresee the Hand putting a stop to this operation and, before you can say "one lump or two?", those lucky fish in the Aquatic Terrarium will be having a tea party.
