You know what the saddest thing is? We've had a few moments like that 6 roll already. I also really wish we'd had another, but c'est la vie and all that.
Ulthuan turned up to the Waaagh and Peace lecture. No reason they wouldn't want queekish translation.
That said translating a language you can't understand into a language of self-contradictory abstract metaphor probably isn't much of an improvement.
Nooo!
We have too much to do already.

I can see an apocalypse unfolding and vampire Lords awkwardly walking past Tomb Kings, Grey Magisters and Elf rulers as each to go to collect their own part of the set.Where else would you store your world-threatening book?

I can see them very pointy buy the Reikspiel version and if asked it was written by Mathilde Weber of the colleges of magic, not Loremaster Mathidle of K8Ps.

Something for the (hypothetical) research institute.
Celestial magic can make wind right? Maybe that would accelerate the growth...
@Lupercal @LightLan @Jyn Ryvia & anyone else voting for a spoken Queekish Variant.
Whilst I don't prefer spoken queekish, can I convince you to switch the Penthouse action away from Gyrocopters and to rebuilding our dungeon with an unreasonable amount of Paranoia or improving our penthouse security?
If we're doing spoken queekish we have to guess that sooner or later an attempt will be made (probably by Eshin) to figure out where we learned it. At which point the best defences possible are very much desirable.

Pondering what a potential 6 coulda been on the whole Bank Vault thing with Ranald being very amused. Laughing at the idea of cracking it open and just the entire thing being empty with a Ranald calling card just sitting there on a pedestal.
Time to struggle Mathilde! Let's see you squirm your way out of this one and somehow end up saving face by finding the long lost treasure of some legendary Ranaldian heister in addition to recovering the bank contents!
The heister was secretly the dragon who is also the ultimate high priest of Ranald. Alternatively it was Wolf (either the original or our familiar, I'm not picky.)

Prospects like this put the sheer potential import of a Research Institute into perspective for not just Dwarvenkind, but the world at large doesn't it?
It's not as if this question can't be inquired without the Research Institute - it can, but there just isn't enough time or brains to go after something as potentially fascinating and meaningful as this, to once more emphasize and make Karak Eight Peaks reborn a symbol of Hope and New Growth. There just isn't the time or manhours available nor the sheer network effects a Research Institute brings to easily pursue research topics like this, as much as the impact might be extremely meaningful.

It's more or less continuing what Mathilde has already started.
We lied to Qrech that the Grey Order already has Queekish before. (lowering his Betrayal of Skaven, because hey they already have this)
It will help keep up the lie.
Though I am not that attached to it that I won't Approval vote a variant without it.
