Accessing Mine Shaft #2716

[Granthis]

Quick question, since my quick search turned up too much to parse:

Asssuming that the quest "Return to the Depths" is active as appropriate, can one trade ahriman tears to the relevant moblin NPC to do Bionic Bug, or will trading the tears forfeit your operating lever, too?

They will forfeit.

It's been so long since I've tried to use tears, I couldn't recall whether the trigger was confiscated. Thanks for the prompt reply.
