Submachine Gun


Objectives

Destroy the ammo dumps.

Ammo Dumps destroyed: 0/6


"I believe that One-Eyed Jack is storing a recent ammo shipment in his warehouse. We can't have that! When there's too much supply, there's no demand. Prices go down, and nobody profits. So, I want you to go to the warehouse and trigger a little 'market correction' by destroying the ammo dumps. You'll need explosives or elemental weapons, which are, of course, available at any of my stores for a reasonable price!"

"You destroyed the ammo dumps! Good work, my friend! You're proving to be an extremely effective partner, and I'm so glad you weren't blasted into soup! Now, if only we knew exactly which corporation has decided to cut me out of my profits!"

Rewards

"Have you met the bearded turtle yet? Crazy Earl? He hides from me, in his Scrapyard to the south. Any time I want to see him, I have to blow a hole in his junk pile. Anyway, he has a piece of the Vault key, along with most of my underwear. The details of that transaction are unimportant, just get that artifact back."


Objectives

Go to the Scrapyard and blow up an entrance to meet Crazy Earl.

Path cleared


"Oh, so now that Tannis bitch wants that alien hunk o' junk, eh? And you're her little helper? Bah! And they call ME 'crazy'! What have you done for me, besides blow a hole in my back fence?! Tell me that!"


QUEST: Today's Lesson: High Explosives


"Those bandit assholes stole my C-Charges! The explosives must be around their camp somewhere. You're gonna teach them a lesson. They want my C-Charges? Fine. We'll shove 'em up their asses and set 'em off. You steal Earl's stuff, you get blasted to hell."

Quest: Firepower: All Sales Are Final


"I have an amazing opportunity for you, my friend, where both of us stand to profit. You see, the bandits are better equipped than most of the locals! They are a large, untapped market, but they have no demand for my goods! I need someone like you to find out who is supplying them. Go to their hideout and search for a sales invoice or something. I'll pay you a fair price for the information."

Objectives: Search for information about the bandit weapon supplier.

"As I suspected, One-Eyed Jack and his men have been receiving weapon shipments. This invoice is encoded, but it looks like one of the manufacturers decided to cut out the middle man and sell direct. I'm that middle man, and I won't tolerate it! Those faceless corporations don't care about the work I do to scratch out a living here. We must stop them somehow!"

Level: 23

Rewards: 6000 XP, $20328

Background: "This is Patricia Tannis, calling for anyone with two brain cells to rub together. I hid five of my Data Recorders in Rust Commons West, but now I've decided I want them back. Listen to each one, and your ECHO device will record them. Once you have all five recordings, upload them to the bounty board."

Completion: "Thank you for returning my journal recordings. I know that you listened to them, so now I ask that you apply blunt force trauma to your head until you forget what you heard. Those journals are private and personal."


The Tannis journals continue to document her slipping grasp on sanity and also provide more information on The 'Vault'.

Text of ECHO Recorders items:

Tannis Journal Entry (Day 224): It almost looks lonely.

Tannis Journal Entry (Day 321): Do not expose to open flame.

Tannis Journal Entry (Day 457): Little hearts have been scratched into the surface.

Tannis Journal Entry (Day 481): How long did it take Tannis to hide these things?

Tannis Journal Entry (Day 493): It's amazing that nobody ever ran off with this.
