High Tide

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

Starting this event requires the completion of Sins of the Father, and it will automatically start once it becomes available. The completion of this event is required to start In Love and War, which will automatically start on completion of this event.

Info
One of the research team members was able to escape the now-flooded subterranean Oshur facility.

Despite serious injuries, they may still be able to give some insight on what happened to the rest of their crew, as well as what necessitated the secrecy of a research project being conducted beneath the derelict genetics lab on a once-abandoned continent.

Objectives
features five objectives.
 * Search for the researcher (0/1)
 * Continue searching for the researcher (0/1)
 * Find the destination of the researcher (0/1)
 * Find the researcher (0/1)
 * Speak with the researcher (0/1)

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

Huh? Guess there wasn't enough juice to assemble the aircraft. It did give us a loose location on the researcher who escaped the flooded base. And that location is on Oshur. Take to the skies and find them. We've detected a strange contrail signature and were able to narrow the search area. We're getting closer! That chemical signature is even stronger in your area. You're closing in on your target. This is definitely where the researcher landed. You should check out the area. Hello? I can't really see you. Visor must be cloudy. Guess I owe Sherman 20 nanites. Said the Republic would never leave us behind. Bet you're here for the research, though. Disabling the rebirthing matrix of the rebels and cultists? That was some big brain stuff. Pity we weren't able to finish. That tidal wave really messed us up. Don't think Sherman will be able to collect. I'll be fine. Just need a nap and I'll be right as rain. Take my datapad back to the brass. It's got all of our data. Huh? Guess I dropped it over there. Why are my hands wet?

Hmm. Must not have been enough strength to assemble the aircraft. But it gives us a rough location on the researcher who escaped the flooded base. Take to the skies and find them.

Interesting. There must not have been enough power to assemble the aircraft. This gives us a vague location for the researcher who fled the flooded base. And that location is on Oshur. Take to the skies and find them. We have detected a unique contrail signature and were able to narrow down the search area. We are getting closer. The chemical signature is even more pronounced in your area. You are close to your target. This must be the destination of the researcher. You should investigate the area. Hello?

Curious. Power was clearly ineffecient to assemble your aircraft. This reveals the general location for the researcher who fled the flooded base. And that location is on Oshur. Take to the skies and find them. We have detected a unique contrail signature and were able to narrow the search area. We are getting closer.
