Market District: Jail, The Last City
The Guardian hacks Eramis’s cell. The Crow transmats into the room.
The Crow: Guess Eido talked you into it, huh?
Eramis: Ugh. I have seen more competent escape attempts from hatchlings.
The Crow: It’s not the Guardian’s fault. I figured Eido wasn’t going to let this go.
Eramis: And now? Back to my cell? Or have I spent your patience, at last?
The Crow: I’ll make you a deal. You don’t do anything stupid, and in exchange, I won’t tell the rest of the Vanguard that their golden Guardian set you loose. And we all agree to pretend Ikora doesn’t already know.
Eramis: You are not serious.
The Crow: Eido thinks you’re still capable of doing the right thing.
Eramis: She is naive.
The Crow: I’d say “hopeful”, maybe. Eido’s convinced you can help us figure out how to stop Fikrul. Fact is… we could use some help. So I’m choosing to put a little faith in you at the moment. Far as the City’s concerned, Eramis is missing. I’ll handle it. Just don’t let me regret it. I’m counting on you here, Guardian… Eramis.
Eramis: Insufferable fool. And now, I am at YOUR mercy. For the sake of discretion, let us part ways here. I will contact you once I reach Eido’s coordinates.

The Guardian returns to Eido and completes the quest.
