About time someone showed up. Did we finally reach your 'dead gondian' quota? Is that why it took so long for anyone to help us?

Involvement

Grindo Biggs can be found on the lab floor of the foundry battling Black Gauntlet of Banes and Steel Watchers. He wears a  Kill Collar, which must be disabled by deactivating a  Motivator held by one of the Black Gauntlets.

If saving him as part of the quest ⁠Save the Gondians, he runs out of the lab and gathers with the rest of the Gondians outside of the foundry.

Idle banter

Grindo Biggs can be seen having a conversation with  Borri Paver:

• Black Gauntlet Borri Paver

  Explain - preparing the cadaver's brain.

• Gondian Grindo Biggs

  Really? You don't know how your own Steel Watchers operate?

• Black Gauntlet Borri Paver

  One finger. Another word, and it'll be your left eye.

• Gondian Grindo Biggs

  Forgive me. The brains have a parasite inserted into their frontal lobes.

• Gondian Grindo Biggs

  We preserve them in an embalming solution for longevity.

• Gondian Grindo Biggs

  This is not helping me work quicker.

• Black Gauntlet Borri Paver

  I'm going to be merciful and pretend I didn't hear that tone.

• Black Gauntlet Borri Paver

  Tell me - what are you doing?

• Gondian Grindo Biggs

  Preparing the cadaver's brain.

• Gondian Grindo Biggs

  Is this some kind of test?

• Black Gauntlet Borri Paver

  It's whatever I damn well want it to be. Keep going.

• Gondian Grindo Biggs

  The parasite's psionic connection to the hivemind is what enables remote control of its Watcher.

• Black Gauntlet Borri Paver

  Correct. Now, tell me - how excited are you to dig your stubby little fingers into a corpse's brain?

• Gondian Grindo Biggs

  I am... excited. And fortunate to work on such a momentous project.
