Dialogue (Emissary Dajmir)
 * "Thank you for helping Kouma. One of Warmarshal Varesh's generals, Kahyet, has asked me to speak with the Order of the Sky regarding a celestial event she calls Nightfall. General Morgahn whom you've met, doesn't seem to like the idea. But more importantly, someone ELSE has been asking the Order about Nightfall. You'd be doing me and the generals a great favor if you'd investigate this. Meet me in Zehlon Reach and I shall tell you more. And you better bring your friend Koss with you; the plants in this area have been especially aggressive lately."
 * Accept: "I'd like to find out more myself. I will see you there."
 * Decline: "I gotta see a guy about a thing..."

Intermediate Dialogue 1 (Emissary Dajmir)
 * "Great, you brought Koss with you. The "someone else" asking about Nightfall is a young Kournan rabble rouser named Melonni. I didn't want to mention her name before because General Kahyet has agents everywhere. She's a bright, dedicated young woman, but I think she's involved in something else more powerful than she realizes. Koss knows her. Locate her, and find out why she's asking about Nightfall."

Intermediate Dialogue 2
 * Melonni: "Kormir! I brought them as fast as I could."
 * Kormir: "Thank the gods! Take a look at this and tell me what you think of it."

Cinematic Dialogue
 * Melonni: "This looks bad."
 *  : "It's just some old inscriptions."
 * Melonni: "I hate not knowing what they say."
 * Kormir: "These come from earlier times, from before the Scarab Plague.  A scholar could decipher them."
 * Melonni: "I don't know any scholars that would want to come out here."
 * Kormir: "You would be surprised."
 * Melonni: "What's that?"
 * Kormir: "It's one of the excavation workers."
 *  : "Yes, but look at him."
 * Melonni: "I would like to change my opinion to: 'This looks very bad.'"

Reward Dialogue (Digmaster Gatah)
 * "That digger you found was the last one to die! They're all dead! The entire excavation team! Cut down in their prime, covered with these strange runes! Kormir promised us protection, but no one was prepared for this! Then ANOTHER group of diggers stormed through here, heavily-armed. I'd never seen before, but they seemed to know where they were going.


 * You have to go after them. Kormir is waiting for you. Take this. You'll need it!"

Followup
 * Jokanur Diggings (Mission)

Walkthrough
Head outside the Astralarium to find Dajmir (1). From there, go west to the river then cross it and go to point (2). You'll meet up with Melonni and a cutscene will play. Continue along until just outside Jokanur Diggings. There, you will see an Inscribed Wall (3). Examine it (by "talking" to it) to see another cutscene, which will end by teleporting the party into Jokanur Diggings to conclude the quest.

You may now do the mission here by talking with Digmaster Gatah.

Trivia
The name of the quest, "Signs and Portents", is most likely a reference to the name of the first season of the science fiction TV series Babylon 5, "Signs and Portents", which deal with the coming darkness and arrival of the Shadows.
