69 lines: Riebeck, the anxious, stammering archaeologist camped on
Brittle Hollow -- passionate about the Nomai ruins (dreamed of seeing
the Hanging City since a hatchling) but terrified of space and of the
"you-know-what" (the black hole below). His reactions to each Nomai
discovery, building to the giddy panic of "you talked to a LIVING Nomai".
Masculine (genderless default); timid ehm/uf voice; Hearthian ->
Kozubčan; "Stars above" -> Hviezdy nad nami; "on my own four eyes"
kept. Preserved <size=20> shrinking-text asides and
<Pause>/<Pause />/<Pause/>/<i> markup.
Scoped to Riebeck's character dialogue; the interleaved Brittle Hollow
HUD labels, museum star/skeleton exhibits, and system logs are deferred.
Verified: XML well-formed; keys identical; markup/token parity; ship log/
UI/rest byte-unchanged; mod builds. (1753 "Riebeck" label kept.)
