Echoes in the Sand

ToDo


 * Escort Researchers to Deadalus' Landing
 * Escort Researchers back to Ashoka
 * With the data collected by the research team, return to Ashoka Settlement and report to Captain Botha.

Briefing
Captain Amandla Botha:
 * I need you to protect the research team assigned to investigate the Eloh crash site nearby.


 * Your file says you're Receptive, and that makes you the top candidate for a mission into Deadalus' Landing. Unfortunately, I also have to play diplomat, so you're going to have to do a little babysitting.


 * Because the Brann here can't seem to stop fighting with themselves long enough to agree on who to send, Kappa Grupa Lohen has sent a personal representative to investigate the crash site. Lohen has agreed that we can take one of our own researchers, too. Hopefully we can turn this into a collaborate effort and find out where that elusive Eloh has disappeared to.


 * Your biggest problem is the Bane, who secured the crash site just a few hours ago. It'll be rough, but you need to protect the research team. Once you're satisfied, bring the team back here so we can analyze the data.

Escort Researchers to Deadalus' Landing
Kardash Eloh Obelisk:
 * The obelisk begins to hum at your approach, and you feel the overwhelming need to touch it. As your fingers press against its cold surface, and image fills your mind. You see an AFS base overrun with Atta, and deep under the earth you sense the presence of something... or someone.... very powerful.


 * The vission fades, and you realize that the researchers have completed their scans of the area and are waiting for you. As you step away, the urge to explore the Avernus Atta Colony remains string in your mind.

Escort Researchers back to Ashoka
Captain Amandla Botha:
 * There were Atta at the crash site? Well, that's odd.

Debriefing
Captain Amandla Botha:
 * Looks like the research team also found traces of a potent Atta pheromone at the site, which could only belong to the Atta Queen.


 * We're going to crunch on this data a little more, but it would be a good idea to scout out Avernus Atta Colony. I'm sure your talents will help you track down anything the Atta may have recovered from the site.


 * Oh, and thanks for your help on this. I really appreciate it.

When I reached Deadalus' Landing and did the first part of the mission, the research team accidentally got killed. (Revive tools don't work) However, I was able to complete the second half of the mission. 29 September 2008, Mdagli1
