=== Magikrab’s Gauntlet Introduction at [[Night's Bridge Station]] ===

{{DialogueLine|Magikrab|Ah. <player> - just the human I was hoping to see! I have… an opportunity for you!}}
{{DialogueLine|Magikrab|You see, [[the Mer-Line]] does not exist solely under this island. Their trains pass through the many as-yet unactualised potential worlds as they journey endlessly through the Connected Human Cosmos!}}
{{DialogueLine|Magikrab|Of course, these potential worlds are populated by their own potential beings, and some try to hitch a ride aboard Their trains!}}
{{DialogueLine|Magikrab|Despite such beings’ appearances as familiar-looking humans and monsters, they are not like anything you’ve met so far. As they exist only in potential, they lack any true claim to reality or canon.}}
{{DialogueLine|Magikrab|However, just as one’s potential may exceed one’s capability, these potential beings often far exceed the power of the real individuals that you have met.}}
{{DialogueLine|Magikrab|Whilst this is of no concern to the magnificent Mer-Line, it is rather inconvenient to me, as I would prefer to commute in peace.}}
{{DialogueLine|Magikrab|My crystal eye tells me that the rangers are looking for more ""[[Fused Material]]"". Is this the case?}}
{{DialogueLine|Magikrab|I shall make you a deal then: if you can clear out just a few train carriages of these aggravating potential beings, I will trade you some “Fused Material”. Do we have a deal?}}
''(Choice between "Sure!" and "I guess so…?")''
{{DialogueLine|Magikrab|Excellent! If it helps, why not consider it special training? We’ll make it fun!}}

=== Entering Magikrab’s Gauntlet ===

{{DialogueCondition|If the player chooses to enter the Gauntlet:}}
{{DialogueLine|Magikrab|All aboard!|indent=2}}
