<Cobalt scene group ends. Rytlock + Crew progress over to the Crimson probe location>
Scene 01 – Crimson
Rytlock: All right, Twistgear, what can you tell me about this device?
Junia Twistgear: It looks to be nearly identical to the others we’ve investigated, Tribune.
Rytlock: What does it mean, that there are more of them turning up here?
Junia Twistgear: Hard to be certain yet, sir.
Rytlock: (growl) Yes, well, get to it.
<Scene break while Twistgear once again orders her workers to investigate the device. After a bit, Rytlock speaks>
Scene 02 – Crimson
Rytlock: Would you guess this device is Scarlet’s handiwork?
Junia Twistgear: I…wouldn’t want to guess one way or the other before we’re finished here, Tribune.
Rytlock: (growl) Scorch it, I’m just asking you to confirm the obvious, Twistgear.
Junia Twistgear: Yes, sir. It does seem similar to the machinery Scarlet Briar’s been using to launch invasions all over Tyria.
Junia Twistgear: On the other hand, if this device is hers, it seems to have another purpose.
<Scene break again – one of the workers decides again that it’d be a great idea to touch one of the devices
>
Scene 03 – Crimson
Rytlock: Twistgear, can you please remind your people to quit touching this thing?
Junia Twistgear: Yes, sir. Of course.
Junia Twistgear: You lot heard the tribune! Let’s examine the device at a respectable distance.
<Another break before Twistgear goes around to gather up her workers and then report to Rytlock>
Scene 04 – Crimson
Rytlock: All right. You’ve been at this awhile now. What have you learned here?
Junia Twistgear: Sir, the more of these devices I see in action, the more sure I am that they are a kind of probe, designed to locate…something.
Rytlock: (growl) What sort of something is that insane sylvari probing for?
Junia Twistgear: Whatever she’s after is big, sir. And magical.
Rytlock: I’m not sure I like where this is leading. Let’s go look at the other new probes she’s set up around the area.
< The whole crew once again moves on, but this time to the Amber probe location>
Scene 01 – Amber
Rytlock: Here we are—yet another of these new devices.
Rytlock: Have a look and tell me as soon as you have any ideas.
Junia Twistgear: Of course, Tribune. We’re on it.
<Scene break while Twistgear orders her workers to disperse and investigate the probe and the area. Unfortunately another worker decides to get a little too close to the probe.>
Scene 02 – Amber
Junia Twistgear: Tribune, it looks as if all of these devices can defend themselves.
Rytlock: It does at that. Back your people away from it and learn at a safe distance.
<Another break while Twistgear also walks around and investigates before returning to Rytlock>
Scene 03 – Amber
Rytlock: So, you agree by now that these were built by Scarlet?
Junia Twistgear: That’s right, sir. The devices have all her signature touches.
Junia Twistgear: We could learn a lot from these probes if we could get close enough to take one apart.
Rytlock: (growl) You almost sound as if you admire her handiwork, Twistgear.
Junia Twistgear: Scarlet Briar may be insane, but her designs are high quality.
Rytlock: Your candor is refreshing, even if I don’t like the implications of your findings much.
<One final break while the crew does some further investigations. Then Twistgear gathers them all up and reports one last time to Rytlock>
Scene 04 – Amber
Rytlock: Report, Twistgear. Let’s hear what you’ve learned.
Junia Twistgear: These are magical probes of some kind, Tribune. I’m sure of it.
Junia Twistgear: There are three new probes in this area, which tells me that Scarlet may have found something important here.
Junia Twistgear: I believe she’s triangulating, trying to zero in on the location of something magical. Something huge.
Rytlock: Whatever that something is, I have a feeling we don’t want her to find it. Tell your people we’re moving out again.
Depending on the status of the main Great Jungle Wurm events and their pre-events, these scenes would continue to cycle through each of the locations (after a slight break) until the status of those events barred them from spawning again. They showed up after completion (success or failure!) of the main wurm event and upon failure of the escort events. Always looping through. 
I hope that helped!

<Part 01>
Hi guys,
I’m sorry to say, but Rytlock + crew were only around during that first OoM release since his scenes were tied into what was being revealed at that point. After that release ended I removed him from that spot. 
He and his group shouldn’t be appearing anywhere in Bloodtide Coast any more.
Someone on my team pointed out this thread to me today so I and asked if I could share the scenes with you guys (for posterity!). I really appreciate all the effort that people have taken to update the wiki with scenes like this so I wanted to make sure you guys got it in some form. I hope this helps!
So, without further ado!
Rytlock and his crew had three groups of scenes – one at each of the Great Jungle Wurm locations. The scenes started at Cobalt, moved to Crimson, and ended at Amber. In each case the crew would start at a nearby waypoint and run up to investigate the new probes that appeared at those locations.
The actors are Rytlock Brimstone, Junia Twistgear (Chief Engineer), and three of Twistgear’s workers.
Scene 01 – Cobalt
Rytlock: Twistgear! What do you make of this one?
Junia Twistgear: Sir, it’s similar in design to the others we’ve seen set up all over Tyria.
Rytlock: (sigh) Yes. I can see that, soldier. What I want to know is what it’s for.
Junia Twistgear: And why there are more of them here, suddenly.
Junia Twistgear: Of course, Tribune.
<Little scene break while the workers and Twistgear investigate>
Scene 02 – Cobalt
Rytlock: These belong to that Scarlet character, don’t they? The one that spoiled the Queen’s Jubilee not long ago?
Junia Twistgear: It does remind me of the portals she’s been using to launch her random invasions all over Tyria.
Rytlock: Scarlet stole the queen’s toy soldiers and holed up in the new pavilion for weeks. Logan’s Seraph were helpless to stop her.
Rytlock: She was behind that Flame-mole business, that sky pirate attack on Dragon Bash, and that nightmare tower in Kessex.
Rytlock: Seems like every intelligence report that crosses my desk lately has something to do with that lunatic sylvari.
Rytlock: What if it’s not random? Each time she turns up, she’s less of a nuisance and more of a threat.
<Little scene break while the workers get shocked by one of the probes and Twistgear reprimands them>
Scene 03 – Cobalt
Junia Twistgear: Tribune, its defenses are still active, and still very formidable.
Rytlock: So I see. (grumble) Just learn what you can at a safe distance.
Rytlock: Maybe we’ll have better luck with another one.
<Another scene break while Twistgear and crew investigate further. After a while Twistgear pulls everyone back together and returns to Rytlock>
Scene 04 – Cobalt
Rytlock: Anything for me yet?
Junia Twistgear: I have some ideas, Tribune, but I need to see the others and compare what we’re seeing here.
Rytlock: Fine, but in the meantime, I didn’t drag you here to keep your thoughts to yourself.
Junia Twistgear: It reminds me of a seismic probe, for finding underground resources with vibrations.
Junia Twistgear: These probes weren’t designed to find something physical, though.
Junia Twistgear: If these are Scarlet’s, she’s using them all over Tyria to look for something magical. Something big.
Rytlock: (growl) Well done, Twistgear. Let’s have a look at those other new…probes.
