Synopsis:
The gith caretaker asks what the player is doing in the hatchery. They can learn some interesting lore about githyanki eggs. The player can also convince the caretaker to give them the last unhatched egg - but he is quite attached to it.
How to trigger:
Use Debug Book to travel to Act 1b -> Creche - Main Creche floor
Get through the dialog with the guards at the checkpoint (you'll likely need to use killcombat in recon)
Once through the doors go left (west), then right (north), and enter the Hatchery Chamber through the door at the end of the corridor.
Head north and jump across the rocks in the acid.
Speak to the caretaker standing at the top of a large rocky outcrop.
