Uppdrag

Even the slightest change to ARC's behavior could spell disaster. And that signal you heard? It's like nothing we've ever picked up. If they're up to something, we need to find out whatever we can.

Our food production is finally enough to meet our basic needs, but what we really need now is variety. I have a lead on some agricultural research from before the First Wave. Are you in?

Says here there was a foreman at The Dam, who got recruited right after they canceled Project Heartwood. Got put in charge of some big reconstruction project.

Y’know, back in the day we actually used to have a flag - well, a scrap of cloth more than anything. Still, seeing it meant you knew you had allies nearby, that you were on your own home turf. So, I was thinking…

Looks like the resentment ended up reaching the ground staff of the Spaceport itself. A mutiny brewing, right in the heart of the Exodus.

I know, I know! The power's down in sector— Oh, hey. A flash flood took out some of our solar panels in Buried City, and the generators only hold on for so long. Do us all a solid when you're up there, OK?

Bees! There are bees still around! While I’m no expert, our greenhouse crew desperately wants some.

Okay, so this is awkward… I lost two of my journals during some outpost inspections last time I went topside. Could you head out there and try to find them back before someone else stumbles on them?

We caught a break. One of our scouts saw a member of the Tubes Management make a dead drop inside the Santa Maria Houses in the Buried City. This might be our chance to dig up some dirt on them for a change. You in?

Did you feel any tremors last night? Me neither. But apparently the ground shifted at some point, and in the process it unearthed an old First Wave outpost that’d been blocked by debris. I’d like you to get in there quick, before anyone else does.

My usual engineer is still healing from his wounds, and has been loopy for days. We can’t afford to be at half-grid until he heals; I need someone to pick up his wrench in the mean time.

Recently, I’ve been trying and failing to get Tian Wen to join our community projects. I may have to sweeten the deal. She’s been complaining about the quality of salvage found on the market; think we could do her a solid?

I’m looking for someone. Bilguun. You might’ve seen him around, but chances are you haven’t. He’s… not the most sociable person around, you see. He spends a lot of time Topside, but usually returns to Speranza regularly to check in.

I lost my cool a bit when I sent you after that trap. I don’t usually lose my temper, but the First Wave… We went through a lot, back then. Lost a lot of people. It’s still a bit of a raw wound for me, but I want you to understand.

That Stella Montis hard drive contained more than just the shutdown documentation - it also had the transport schedules of some pretty critical Exodus components.

?

This goes beyond bad luck. Something—or someone—has knocked out some of our electrical substations. The engineer I sent out to fix it hasn’t returned, so I need all available Raiders to look into it. That includes you.

I’m not saying our water’s been tampered with, but based on your samples, I can’t rule out the possibility either. Would you return to the Dam and see what’s wrong?

Back during the First Wave, my squad and I built a trap out by the Dam. Overloaded a generator, turned it into a makeshift ARC trap. Now I hear Raiders are using it to cut comms and spring ambushes on each other. I need you to end it.

There is a reservoir beneath the Spaceport; if we manage to rout that water here, that should buy us time to deal with the contamination.

We're in luck. The notes you found last time were written by the lead researcher. When the project went under, it seems she took some of the seed samples and sealed them away in a secure location.

The Official Toledo Tubes Management is demanding one of our Power Rods for usage of “their” Slingshot tubes. Don’t let the name fool you, they’re in no way official; just thugs with lots of power. Could you help me with this?

I got a plan. If we recover the evidence against the OTTM before they get to it, we might get them off our backs once and for all.

According to the files you found in the lab, the cultivation researchers were actually the ones who set up the hydroponic domes out in the swamp. Sounds like the most obvious place to search next, don’t you think?

If you’re here to complain about the water, join the club. I’ve been fielding complaints all day. Something is definitely up with it, and I need some help to sort it out.

I found notes that some electrical engineers at the Spaceport were working on advanced, salt-based batteries. If we can get our hands on one, perhaps it’ll prevent full-scale power outages next time a ceiling comes crashing down.
