You really wish, otherwise all this fake deep talk about the murmer of Engines wouldn't be necessary.

These leftover relics from the old days seem to have a lot of spirit inside of them, and you hear stories of talking Engines but you aren't really sure if it's more than Orator garbage.

Man, it's the hose that feeds air into the engine, with all these cracks it was getting starved of oxygen. You swore you gave Nobody a thrice over before this trip since it was going to be a long one. You swear this badly of an eroded hose would stick out.

No use kicking yourself now. This type of hose isn't very hard of a part to come across, these "Pilgrims" all around seem to have a lot of junk left over inside of them too so maybe...
