Buried Beneath the Snow

Buried Beneath the Snow was the thirteenth event of Chapter 1 of the Shattered Warpgate campaign.

Starting this event required the completion of FL-34's Bargain. The completion of this event, and Bio Analysis, was required to start Kite and Key, and its completion also unlocked the option event Sap and Salvage.

Info
The deep dive into the databanks of the two "Terraforming" corporations on Hossin revealed more information than was asked for, an outcome perhaps anticipated by at least one party.

Nanite Systems quickly uses the recovered information to "fast follow" with a new prototype technology capable of sapping the Tempest energy derelict vehicles scatted throughout Esamir.

Reclaiming these vehicles for further testing may yield more information on what kept them from being destroyed during the Warpgate's detonation.

Objectives
Buried Beneath the Snow featured three objectives.
 * Speak with Representative Foster on Sanctuary
 * Purchase the Neutralizer Device
 * Recover disabled vehicles

Transcript
After speaking with the representative

Representative Foster: When the Warpgate detonation took place, it seemed selective in what it destroyed. The vehicles you analyzed, for example, were simply disabled.

Foster: With the tech you... procured. We've come up with a way to re-enable the nano-machines that would typically disassemble these vehicles when they've become inoperable.

Foster: Ayla has a Neutralizer Device available for you. Use this device to reactive the nanomachines and reclaim a vehicle. Then pilot it to your Warpgate, or Eisa Tech Plant, if your faction has claim to it.

After acquiring the Neutralizer Device from Representative Ayla

Foster: Please equip the Neutralizer Device and heat to the planet's surface. Consider it a "tactical" device in your arsenal, for Esamir and elsewhere.

After a brief period of piloting/driving a reclaimed vehicle

Foster: The energy signature from this vehicle is quite strange. IT seems to be infused with what we're calling "Tempest," the energy permeating Esamir at this time.

Foster: One of our technicians advises me that this vehicle may be capable to shunting the "Tempest" energy accumulated on the vehicle, and be resistant to the hardships of that roaming storm as well.

Upon piloting/driving a reclaimed vehicle into a Warpgate or Eisa Tech Plant, if owned by the player's faction

Foster: I'll have our researchers begin analyzing the composition of this vehicle. With any luck, we will have new technology to fend off the elements of this new Esamir.

Rewards
This event also granted the Neutralizer Device.
