Kite and Key

Kite and Key was the fifteenth event of Chapter 1 of the Shattered Warpgate campaign.

Starting this event required the completion of Buried Beneath the Snow. The completion of this event was required to start Insulation.

Info
With reclaimed vehicles resting safely in the hands of Nanite Systems' researchers, the focus shifts to data readings more relevant to the current threats on Esamir.

Using old technology to discover new information, Representative Foster asks for the operative's assistance in releasing a Weather Drone within the looming Electrical Storm that patrols the battlescape.

Objectives
Kite and Key featured six objectives.
 * Speak with Representative Foster on Sanctuary.
 * Locate an abandoned Amp Station on Esamir
 * Collect the contents of the storage locker
 * Deploy the drone in the storm on Esamir
 * Survive until the drone finishes data collection. (0/100)
 * Complete a Meltdown alert on Esamir

Transcript
After speaking with the representative

Representative Foster: Thank you for checking in. Our researchers are breaking down the data from that vehicle you reclaimed, but there seems to be a missing puzzle piece.

Foster: Our technicians would like more information on what is causing the storm on Esamir. A few of the older Amp Stations were initially used to monitor weather patterns on the continent, but the war created more pressing concerns.

Foster: If we're lucky, however, these older, now abandoned Amp Stations, may still have tools we can use to gather information. Please head to Esamir and visist what remains of the Nott or Elli Amp Stations.

If the player chooses to go to Elli Amp Station

Foster: You're coming up on what used to be the Elli Amp Station. It's certainly seen better days.

If the player chooses to go to Nott Amp Station

Foster: Nott Amp Station is certainly not what it used to be.

Foster: As I suspected, there looks to be leftover Stormglider Drones in the storage lockers. We can activate one of these within the storm to gather telemetry.

Upon opening a storage locker and taking a Stormglider Drone

Foster: This Stormglider Drone can be deployed within the storm to measure atmospheric resonance. Also, there aren't many of these drones left, and they won't rematerialize from the spawn tube with you.

Once a drone has been successfully placed within an electrical storm on Esamir

Foster: We're receiving the data now. Please protect the drone until it finishes scanning.

After the player survives 100 seconds following the deployment of a drone

Foster: Ugh, a bolt of lightning just knocked the drone offline. We did receive some interesting readings before it was crippled, however.

Foster: The drone is toast, but we should be able to send an away team to retrieve it once the fighting on Esamir has calmed down a bit.

Upon the conclusion of a Meltdown alert on Esamir that the player is present for

Foster: The fighting on Esamir should subside for now. We'll send a team to collect what's left of the stormglider.
