The Dustiest Place on Earth

Report to Colonel Mason Linier in Shadow's Edge Post, which is west of the entrance into Ashen Desert.


 * Report to Colonel Linier

Briefing
Sergeant Bernard Ames:
 * If you're here reporting for duty, I suggest you go back and head down the west road towards Shadow's Edge Post.


 * It is a mighty pleasant sight seeing a friendly face out here. The only thing I've seen for days is dust, ash, cinders and some dirt. Oh, and I can't forget the damn Fithik. Filthy bastards.


 * Oh, sorry. You should probably report directly to Colonel Linier; he's rather hands on commander, and I know he'll want to meet anyone stepping up to help.


 * Oh, and watch out for the Fithik. They fall from the sky as frequently as the ash does.

Report to Colonel Linier
Colonel Mason Linier:
 * A Receptive, eh? You definately look like you have some notches in your gun barrel.

Debriefing
Colonel Mason Linier:
 * The Ashen Desert is a dangerous place. The Atta have become abnormally violent. We're fighting the Bane on three fronts. We're trying to secure the water harvesters of Maji Field, and the Bane have taken over the power facility of Indra Pass. An Eloh spacecraft has crashed right between us, the Brann and the Bane. Oh, and if you breath in too much ash, you'll find a nice thick layer of cement coating your lungs.


 * You're brave to come out here, but we could definitely use the help. My officer staff will brief you on our current operations.
