Legacy of the Ancients

Legacy of the Ancients was the tenth event of Chapter 2 of the Shattered Warpgate campaign.

Starting this event required the completion of Elysium. The completion of this event was required to start Skulduggery.

Info
Recent developments in shielding technology have enabled further investigation of the ancient superstructure revealed during the Shattering.

Foster has requested that you venture into the heart of the Shattered Warpgate to determine the source of an energy signature that seems to be hastening the deterioration of the lattice network beneath Esamir.

Objectives
Legacy of the Ancients featured nine objectives.
 * Report to Esmair
 * Equip the Tempest Shield
 * Head to the Shattered Warpgate
 * Approach the Crater on Foot
 * Search for the Amplified Energy Source
 * Speak with Archivist Dolan
 * Examine the Artifact
 * Complete a Meltdown alert on Esamir

Transcript
On event start

Representative Foster: Hello again, operative. It's time we took a closer look at the unearthed machinery at the heart of The Shattered Warpgate (Region).

Foster: Remember to bring the Tempest Shield with you. It will prove necessary for what we are to do next.

Once coming within approximately 1000 meters of the marker

Foster: Scans have pinpointed an energy signature near the center of the crater that seems to be exacerbating the instability of the lattice network.

Foster: What's more is that this signature is emitting frequencies normally reserved for off-world communications. Please approach the crater, operative. You will need to be on foot for this.

As the player approaches the marker on foot

Foster: Activate your Tempest Shield to protect yourself while we work to pinpoint the source of the amplified energy.

Foster: Quickly now, head to the designated area. it will help us isolate where the energy is coming from.

As the player approaches the new marker

Foster: The readings are getting clearer. I've designated another area for you to go to.

As the player once again approaches the next marker

Foster: The Vanu Sovereignty have started calling the structure at the center of the crater a "World Anchor." Fitting, I suppose.

Foster: It's hard to imagine a civilization capable of such technological marvels. Makes one ponder who or what drove the previous inhabitants away.

As the player continues towards the final marker

Foster: Well done, operative. We can... ... to the lab... analysis.

Foster: Exce... t ... discovries wi... great boon. ... Cont... your ...vestigation.

After speaking with the Archivist

Archivist Dolan: I've sundered Foster's communications again. I admit I have a growing taste for the act now.

Dolan: Let me ask you, "operative." Have you ever heard of Project Arquebus?

Dolan: A small research team stripped of faction allegiance, sent for the first time through a dimensional anchor to explore what was on the other side.

Dolan: Would you like to know what they found?

Upon examing the Artifact

Foster: Can you hear me, operative? The energy abnormalities have suddenly disappeared. If only we had gotten here sooner.

Foster: No matter, once the fighting subsides on Esamir, I'll send a team to analyze the crater more thoroughly. If you acn expedite this process, it would be appreciated.
