Retrieve the container hidden near Northern Reach and use the research site's experimental equipment to analyze its contents.","accept_message":"I've been going through the data you pulled from Northern Reach. Gunny was right to be concerned about that place, but I think he may have overlooked the most interesting part. That experimental machine their science team has been running.\n\nFrom what I can piece together, they've been using it to analyze material recovered from Ground Zero. Unlike the equipment we currently have here, it may be sophisticated enough to tell us far more about what we're dealing with. And thanks to your previous efforts, we happen to have a rather interesting container of our own that I've been dying to learn more about. This seems like the perfect opportunity to do exactly that.\n\nUnfortunately, the whole setup is enormous, so bringing it back here isn't exactly an option. Which means we'll have to bring the material to it instead. I've tasked one of your colleagues with hiding the container near Northern Reach for you. Pick it up, get into the laboratory, place it inside the machine, and see if you can get it running.\n\nI have absolutely no idea what kind of results we'll get from this. Isn't that exciting?","debriefing":"This is... incredible. These readings shouldn't be possible. The material's molecular structure keeps changing, but not randomly. It's as if it's trying to maintain some kind of configuration that simply can't exist under normal conditions.\n\nAnd look at this. The radiation spikes happen after the structural changes, not before them. Do you realize what that means? We've been looking at this backwards. The radiation isn't causing these changes. It's a byproduct of them.\n\nThe people affected by Ground Zero... I thought radiation exposure was responsible for what happened to them. The mutations, the tissue damage, all of it. But what if it was the other way around? What if something changed them first, on a fundamental level, and the radiation came afterward?\n\nThat means there's something else happening in Ground Zero. Something we haven't accounted for yet.\n\nFascinating... and absolutely terrifying.\n\nI need time to go through the rest of this data. You've given me a lot to think about.","vendor":"LabRat","region":"GroundZero","kind":"EpicQuest","type":"main","level":4,"tags":["Quests.CanBeShared","Quests.Level.4","Quests.Type.EpicQuest","Quests.For.Player","Vendor.LabRat","WorldRegion.GroundZero"],"location":{"x":22270.125718,"y":-163381.670487,"z":-1313.116243,"radius":3000.0,"map_px":[4298.7001953125,2608.89990234375]},"chain":{"pos":2,"len":2},"prerequisites":[{"slug":"da-quest-epic-gunny-quest-08","name":"At Doom's Gate"}],"unlocks":[],"other_requirements":[{"type":"AskAuthority","text":null}],"objectives":[{"key":"1","description":null,"visible":false,"fail_policy":"FailQuest","condition_type":"Survive","positions":[],"items":[],"fingerprint":"be2bf3d9","sub_objectives":[]},{"key":"2","description":"Place the container inside the experimental machine at Northern Reach","visible":true,"fail_policy":"FailObjective","condition_type":"InteractWithObject","positions":[],"items":[{"slug":"is-quest-item-artifact-case-epic-labrat-09","name":"Metal Container","is_key":false}],"fingerprint":"bc920567","sub_objectives":[{"key":"2.3","description":"Retrieve the container hidden at a shelter northeast of Northern Reach","visible":true,"fail_policy":null,"condition_type":"PickUpItem","positions":[],"items":[],"fingerprint":"9f53157e","sub_objectives":[]}]},{"key":"19","description":null,"visible":false,"fail_policy":"Optional","condition_type":"MapMarker","positions":[],"items":[],"fingerprint":"d2a0ba44","sub_objectives":[]},{"key":"4","description":"Locate the control terminal","visible":true,"fail_policy":"FailObjective","condition_type":"InteractWithObject","positions":[],"items":[],"fingerprint":"c01276b2","sub_objectives":[]},{"key":"5","description":"Find out the whereabouts of the lead scientist","visible":true,"fail_policy":"FailObjective","condition_type":"InteractWithIntel","positions":[],"items":[],"fingerprint":"196952d8","sub_objectives":[]},{"key":"6","description":"Search the hospital for the lead scientist","visible":true,"fail_policy":"FailObjective","condition_type":"InteractWithIntel","positions":[],"items":[],"fingerprint":"8c1ffd9c","sub_objectives":[]},{"key":"7","description":"Use the hardware key to access the control terminal","visible":true,"fail_policy":"FailObjective","condition_type":"InteractWithObject","positions":[],"items":[{"slug":"is-quest-item-lafhardware-key-epic-labrat-09","name":"BR-417 Hardware Key","is_key":false}],"fingerprint":"174673cf","sub_objectives":[{"key":"7.8","description":"Retrieve the hardware key","visible":true,"fail_policy":null,"condition_type":"PickUpItem","positions":[],"items":[],"fingerprint":"e404cf7d","sub_objectives":[]}]},{"key":"17","description":null,"visible":false,"fail_policy":"Optional","condition_type":"MapMarker","positions":[],"items":[],"fingerprint":"d2a0ba44","sub_objectives":[]},{"key":"9","description":"Boot up the experimental machine","visible":true,"fail_policy":"FailObjective","condition_type":"EmptyObjective","positions":[],"items":[],"fingerprint":"0af180dc","sub_objectives":[{"key":"9.10","description":"Initiate the boot-up sequence from Terminal 1","visible":true,"fail_policy":null,"condition_type":"InteractWithObject","positions":[],"items":[],"fingerprint":"1c71893a","sub_objectives":[]},{"key":"9.11","description":"Initiate the boot-up sequence from Terminal 2","visible":true,"fail_policy":null,"condition_type":"InteractWithObject","positions":[],"items":[],"fingerprint":"2765c45c","sub_objectives":[]},{"key":"9.12","description":"Initiate the boot-up sequence from Terminal 3","visible":true,"fail_policy":null,"condition_type":"InteractWithObject","positions":[],"items":[],"fingerprint":"92f7a5ce","sub_objectives":[]},{"key":"9.13","description":"Initiate the boot-up sequence from Terminal 4","visible":true,"fail_policy":null,"condition_type":"InteractWithObject","positions":[],"items":[],"fingerprint":"4076690c","sub_objectives":[]}]},{"key":"18","description":null,"visible":false,"fail_policy":"Optional","condition_type":"MapMarker","positions":[],"items":[],"fingerprint":"d2a0ba44","sub_objectives":[]},{"key":"14","description":"Activate the machine","visible":true,"fail_policy":"FailObjective","condition_type":"InteractWithObject","positions":[],"items":[],"fingerprint":"c2be5080","sub_objectives":[]},{"key":"15","description":"Retrieve the data drive and report back to Lab Rat","visible":true,"fail_policy":"FailObjective","condition_type":"HandOver","positions":[],"items":[],"fingerprint":"40c881d5","sub_objectives":[{"key":"15.16","description":"Extract the data drive from the computer","visible":true,"fail_policy":null,"condition_type":"PickUpItem","positions":[],"items":[],"fingerprint":"9c89d13f","sub_objectives":[]}]}],"rewards":[{"role":"reward","kind":"vendor_stock","item":null,"vendor":"Collector","count":null,"amount":null,"name":null,"recipe":null,"hidden":false}],"penalties":[],"requisites":[],"keys_needed":[],"active":true}
