I… I don’t get it. One day they were trying to stave off the Collapse, and then, suddenly… Nothing. That earthquake-resistant housing project was shut down by a group named MANTIKOR. Think you could find out more?

Those distant rumbles are getting less distant with each passing day. I have a lead on some LiDAR scanners that may help us monitor the tremors. You do want to keep a roof over your head, don’t you?

That Deforester by the Blue Gate may have caused some real devastation, but a pristine husk like that is also an invaluable sample for our research.

We've got clean water again, but we can't risk people falling ill if the saboteurs return. We need to root them out once and for all.

Now, time to see if that recon paid off. If we can teach Raiders to effectively counter Bombardiers up there, we’d be a lot safer down here.

I think I've found something we might exploit. When bigger ARC machines are just far enough from each other, a well-timed distraction could pull one out of position. You want to test that idea?

A swarm of disoriented Wasps crashed near one of our skylights. I need you to help thin ARC's ranks before any more accidents happen, and gather some extra sturdy materials to fix the damage.

Reports about Stella Montis keep coming in, and it’s unlike anything we’ve seen before. There may be records or relics from the past in there, and if so, I want them.

With those Bombardiers roaming around, ARC has found an entirely new way to flush Raiders out of cover. If you’re hoping to take one down, you’ll need to sharpen your skills and your strategy.

We've been losing signals in some areas of Buried City—my guess is that our equipment is acting up. You’re quite skilled with repairs, aren’t you? Could you check it out?

If the data you found can keep the ceiling from collapsing, we have no time to spare. I know of a few magnetic decryptors around Acerra Spaceport, from back during the Exodus. They might still be working.

During the First Wave, the Barons did more damage than all the other machines combined. Now they’re mere husks; fixed in place where they once fell... Still, their internals might hold the answer to keeping ARC at bay. So open one up, and bring me whatever is inside.

Raiders have long reported peculiar-looking crates dropping down from malfunctioning ARC Probes. If we can figure out a way to crack them open, we might get a better understanding of what it is they’re after.

I sent a scout team to the Spaceport a while ago. Routine work — cataloging security, see if there's anything we could re-purpose. But I've heard nothing for two days.

Those LiDAR scanners you found work best when put in high locations. I’ve identified a few good spots around the Rust Belt; hope you’re surefooted.

Now that we’ve found our footing on Stella Montis, several parties are interested in digging a bit deeper and seeing what we can find out about the past of this place. To do so, however, we’ll need to power up some of these old machines so we can start to sift through the data.

I’m still sorting through the data you found in Stella Montis, but something’s caught my eye. I’d like you to look into it.

?

Our scouts have reported several Raider Hatches with leaking hydraulic pipes. They still work, but not for long. Mind patching one up, next time you’re out there?

It used to be their world, up there. Nobody to challenge their claim. Yet here we are. More outposts. More intel. More firepower. If I didn’t know better, I’d say we’ve got quite a bit of fight left in us.

More mentions of Mantikor, and more clear signs of dissent among the researchers. I suspect tensions eventually escalated.

I have equipment set up at the Spaceport, to monitor ARC’s movements. My connection broke down just now — I need you to head to the Control Towers and help me retrieve my logs.

Have you spotted any Surveyors; the big round ones? They seem to be transmitting data back into orbit, and I can’t help but think it's tied to that signal we picked up. Will you break one open, so we can try to decipher the data?

The damage down here was pretty bad, but our Topside infrastructure was hit even harder. I still have several antennas that stopped working after the storm.

ARC may be changing, but we’re finally changing with it. Let’s finish up those outposts and revolutionize the way we track them, flank them, and smash them to bits.

Did you see the flags? The time for cowering is over. You’ve been more than battle-tested, from what I hear; think you can take on a Rocketeer?

The storm has mostly settled, but much of our infrastructure has taken a proper beating. If you're hoping to stay with us, I'll need you to pull your weight in the repair efforts.

That collapsed highway worries me; it looks to be recent. Much of Topside may be in ruins, but most of it is from ages ago.

That key you found in the barrel truck… I won’t jump to accusations just yet, but this certainly reeks of an inside job. Could you investigate a hunch I have?

Intel’s all well and good, but it only gets us so far. If ARC’s truly closing in, I need every Raider to prove they can handle their drones in a fight.

There's no such thing as junk, to a Raider; just valuable materials waiting to be recycled. If you're going to amount to anything around here, you can't just wait for things to be served on a silver platter.

There's a problem with our sensor coverage at the Spaceport. The security grid is old, so maybe it's just acting up. If you could get it running again, it'd save me a lot of sleepless nights.

+1

That downed machine… We weren’t the ones who did that. We know that there are stray survivors out there, but this? This goes far beyond a single person.

Have you ever noticed those streaks of light darting across the skies? I’ve seen too much to believe they’re natural, but it’ll take more than a hunch to convince Celeste.
