Nathan nods.  "Well, with that out of the way, let's get to the meat of this.  First of all, yes, you are correct in assuming this is to do with a possibly dangerous fossil.  It's less the pokemon we're worried about, though, and more the people who are after it.  I was a little worried that leaving it where it was hidden would only lead to it being discovered by the wrong people, so I wanted to try and get to it before they did.  Thank you for lending me those tools and learning materials, by the way.  They were a great help for making sure that I could excavate the fossil without damaging it.  Here, you can have them back now."

Nathan hands the borrowed items back to Laurelin before continuing.

"So, to get more to the point and keep it brief...the fossil in question is that of a Genesect that has no evidence of unnatural modification.  I don't think I have to elaborate on how significant a find that is by itself.  Unfortunately, we weren't the only ones looking for it, and I don't think the Scimitars are going to give up on looking for it any time soon either, seeing as they want to modify a Genesect for their own purposes.  Given that this is a one-of-a-kind opportunity to possibly learn more about the species, I'd really rather not destroy the fossil.  I'd honestly feel better about reviving it so it could defend itself if necessary, ideally as an ally of ours.  And to that end, I'm willing to take the responsibility for making sure it stays in line."

Nathan probably had Laurelin's attention before, but that'll probably really grab hold of it.
