All That Glitters

 is the fourth event of Off the Map, chapter 2 of the Distant Shores campaign.

Starting this event requires the completion of Current Events, and it will automatically start once it becomes available. The completion of this event is required to start Beneath the Surface, which will automatically start on completion of this event.

Info
When the carriers first arrived off the coast, heat signatures were detected on Oshur, which was unexpected given that the continent had been abandoned for over three hundred years.

While this could be explained by a still-operational solar power source or a naturally occurring brush fire, these anomalies must be investigated.

Objectives
features five objectives.
 * Find the first anomaly (0/1)
 * Find the second anomaly (0/1)
 * Find the third anomaly (0/1)
 * Find the final anomaly (0/1)
 * Descend the elevator shaft (0/1)

Transcript
The transcript of this event varies based on the faction of the character that plays the event.

Good work on the front lines, soldier. Once things have settled down in your area, we need you to investigate some heat signatures that have been marked on your map. When we first got to Oshur, we noticed a number of unusual heat signatures scattered around the continent. This was particularly strange seeing that no one has set foot on these islands in decades. These heat signatures are probably something normal like a brush fire or a still-operational solar battery, but we need to know for sure. The heat signature is coming from that crashed weather drone. Powerful storms may still be prevalent even after dissipating Oshur's energy barrier. A solar-powered outhouse? These were created by several of the Oshur resorts to create a sort of rustic ambiance. Apparently this one still works. This was left by members of the Nascent Expeditions advance team. I'll contact their supervisors for leaving an open flame, but there's no need for us to worry about it. We just added one more location to your map. The signature is a lot bigger than the others, but not as strong. Check this last area out before returning. The heat signature looks like it's coming from beneath you. Continue below to investigate the source.

Solid work on the front lines, soldier. Once things have settled down in your area, we need you to investigate some heat signatures that have been marked on your map. When we first arrived on Oshur, we discovered unusual heat signatures scattered around the continent. This was particularly unusual seeing that no one should have been on these islands for decades. There's a good chance that the heat signatures are the product of brush fires or a still-operational solar battery, but this needs to be verified. The heat signature is coming from that crashed weather drone. Powerful storms may still be prevalent even after dissipating Oshur's energy barrier. A solar-powered outhouse? These were created by several of the Oshur resorts to create a sort of rustic ambiance. Apparently this one still works. This was left by members of the Nascent Expeditions advance team. I'll contact their supervisors for leaving an open flame, but there's no need for us to worry about it. Another location has been added to your map. A much larger signature has been identified, but it's weaker, too. Review this last area before returning. The heat signature looks like it's coming from beneath you. Continue below to investigate the source.

Adequate work on the front lines, acolyte. Once things have settled down in your area, we need you to investigate some heat signatures that have been marked on your map. Upon our arrival on Oshur, we detected a number of anomalous heat signatures scattered around the continent. This was especially extraordinary given that no one has set foot on these islands in decades. These heat signatures are most likely the product of brush fires or a still-operational solar battery, but we do not abide guesswork. The heat signature is coming from that crashed weather drone. Powerful storms may still be prevalent even after dissipating Oshur's energy barrier. A solar-powered outhouse? These were created by several of the Oshur resorts to create a sort of rustic ambiance. Apparently this one still works. This was left by members of the Nascent Expeditions advance team. Their supervisors will be contacted regarding the open flame, but it is no longer our concern. We have added one additional location to your map. This signature is much larger than the others, but weaker as well. Investigate this last area before returning. The heat signature appears to originate from beneath your position. Continue below to investigate the source.

Good work on the front lines, soldier. Once things have settled down in your area, we need you to investigate some heat signatures that have been marked on your map. Upon arriving on Oshur, we detected unusual heat signatures located around the continent. This was particularly unusual as no one has set foot on these islands in decades. It is statistically likely that the heat signatures are the product of brush fires or a still-operational solar battery, but verification is required.
