Transcript
The transcript of this event varied based on the faction of the character that played the event. Warden Hadley: Hey, soldier. Get back to Esamir when you get the chance. We need someone with your skillset as soon as possible. Warden Hadley: Hey, soldier. Our techs have noticed a signal when travelling near the Shattered Warpgate and we'll need your help tracking down where it's coming from. Hadley: In order to accomplish your mission, we put together a new gadget known as a Signal Scanner. You should be getting these schematics shortly. The player is granted the Signal Scanner tactical slot item at this time. Hadley: Enjoy! We can begin once the Signal Scanner has been equipped into your tactical slot. Warden Hadley: Now that the Signal Scanner has been equipped, make your way to the marked area near the Shattered Warpgate. Warden Hadley: Good, soldier. The origin of the transmission should be nearby. Use the primary fire of your Signal Scanner to determine your distance to the target. Hadley: You will need to manually activate the Scanner in order to update its gauge. And the closer you get to your target, the more that gauge will be filled. Warden Hadley: Survey area alpha located. While in the noted area, use the "aim" function of the Signal Scanner to deploy the relay. Warden Hadley: Signal Scanner relay successfully deployed. Advance to the next area and continue to use the tool to find the next survey location. Warden Hadley: Survey area bravo located. Deploy the Signal Scanner relay within the noted area. Warden Hadley: Nice work, soldier. Because of your efforts we were able to track down the origin of the signal. That's odd. It seems to be coming from an asteroid. "Desolation." Field Officer Knightly: Get back to Esamir, soldier. More weird things are happening and that means you get to deal with it. Field Officer Knightly: Our scientists have identified a signal near what's left of that Shattered Warpgate. We need you to track down the source, soldier. Knightly: In order to accomplish your mission, we created a new toy known as a Signal Scanner. Your schematics should finish transferring shortly. The player is granted the Signal Scanner tactical slot item at this time. Knightly: There you go. We can begin once the Signal Scanner has been equipped into your tactical slot. Field Officer Knightly: Now that the Signal Scanner has been equipped, make your way to the marked area near the Shattered Warpgate. Field Officer Knightly: The origin of the transmission should be nearby, soldier. Use the primary fire of your Signal Scanner to determine your distance from the target. Knightly: Just know that you will need to manually activate the Scanner in order to update its gauge. And the closer you get to your target, the more the gauge will be filled. Field Officer Knightly: Survey area alpha located. While in the noted area, use the "aim" function of the Signal Scanner to deploy the relay. Field Officer Knightly: Signal Scanner relay successfully deployed. Advance to the next area and continue to use the tool to find the next survey location. Field Officer Knightly: Survey area bravo located. Deploy the Signal Scanner relay within the noted area. Field Officer Knightly: Good job, soldier. Thanks to your efforts we have been able to pinpoint the origin of the signal. Huh. It's coming from "Desolation." An asteroid? Praetor Umatherin: Return to Esamir when you are able, enlightened one. We have need of your skills. Praetor Umatherin: Enlightened one, our technicians have picked up a faint transmission near the Shattered Warpgate and are in need of your assistance in locating the origin. Umatherin: In order to accomplish your mission, we have developed a new device known as a Signal Scanner. You should be receiving the schematics shortly. The player is granted the Signal Scanner tactical slot item at this time. Umatherin: Transfer complete. We can begin once the Signal Scanner has been equipped into your tactical slot. Praetor Umatherin: Now that the Signal Scanner has been equipped, make your way to the marked area near the Shattered Warpgate. Praetor Umatherin: Good, enlightened one. The origin of the transmission should be nearby. Use the primary fire of your Signal Scanner to determine your distance from the target. Umatherin: Keep in mind that you will need to manually activate the Scanner in order to update its gauge. And the closer you get to your target, the more that gauge will be filled. Praetor Umatherin: Survey area alpha located. While in the noted area, use the "aim" function of the Signal Scanner to deploy the relay. Praetor Umatherin: Signal Scanner relay successfully deployed. Advance to the next area and continue to use the tool to find the next survey location. Praetor Umatherin: Survey area bravo located. Deploy the Signal Scanner relay within the noted area. Praetor Umatherin: Excellent work, enlightened one. Due to your efforts we have been able to successfully triangulate the origin of the signal. How... peculiar. It seems to be coming from "Desolation." An asteroid. Umatherin: Unfortunately, the signal is still too weak to be understood. Perhaps we can safely borrow some of the energy from a Containment Site to boost the power of our relay. Facilitator Campner: I have been informed that your assistance has been requested on Esamir. Details will be provided upon arrival. Facilitator Campner: I have been informed that there is a signal that can be received in the vacinity of the Shattered Warpgate. Your assistance is requested in acquiring its origin. Campner: Completion of this mission is reliant on a new technology that we shall refer to as a Signal Scanner. The download of these schematics is already in progress. The player is granted the Signal Scanner tactical slot item at this time. Campner: Download complete. We can begin once the Signal Scanner has been equipped into your tactical Facilitator Campner: Now that the Signal Scanner has been equipped, make your way to the marked area near the Shattered Warpgate. Facilitator Campner: The origin of the transmission should be nearby, operative. Use the primary fire of your Signal Scanner to determine your distance from the target. Facilitator Campner: Be aware that you will need to manually activate the Scanner in order to update its gauge. And the closer you get to your target, the more that gauge will be filled. Facilitator Campner: Survey area alpha located. While in the noted area, use the "aim" function of the Signal Scanner to deploy the relay. Facilitator Campner: Signal Scanner relay successfully deployed. Advance to the next area and continue to use the tool to find the next survey location. Facilitator Campner: Survey area bravo located. Deploy the Signal Scanner relay within the noted area. Facilitator Campner: Adequate work, operative. Your efforts have uncovered the location of the signal's origin. Our results show this as the asteroid known as "Desolation." I have been told that this result is unexpected. Campner: I'm told we cannot decipher the signal in its current state. We need more energy to empower the relay's capabilities. A Containment Site would be the ideal target to draw from.
