Mysterious Cargo |
|
Stage 1 |
Location: | Rah Kain (Cargo Pad) (13, 8) |
You enter a large area that seems to be a massive leaf of the Rah Kain Outpost. Grux stares enraptured at the sky. |
|
He points upward, 'I have never been outside the Conduits, that is the �sky� I take it?' You nod, then push Grux out out of the way of a large four-eyed lizard. Grux blinks at the massive thing as it lumbers past. He watches it pick up a huge spherical case and then walk back into Rah Kain through a large door.
He squints at you, 'Did you see that big round case that lizard was carrying? It looked like a Venom Pod. But I've never seen one so big. It can't be that though, Venom pods are used in making or altering specialized units. What could be that big to warrant such a huge Pod?'
You are suddenly concerned at Grux's unease, you had best check out one of these Venom Pods and see what is inside. |

Stage 2 |
Location: | Rah Kain (Cargo Pad) (6, 4) |
You manage to carefully avoid the large Cargo Loaders and find a Venom Pod that has not been processed yet. |
|
The massive thing is almost perfectly oval, but it looks like it is made out of a huge beetle body. You cannot see any hatch or even a seal in the iridescent, shiny surface. You wonder how the Golgesh themselves get into it.
Then you hear a heavy thump behind you, turning you see the lizard-like Loader lumber past. It is only then that you see the huge talons on its claws. Maybe the Golgesh get the Loaders to open the Pods for them, you should get a Loader Claw and try yourself. |

Stage 3 |
Location: | Rah Kain (Cargo Pad) (6, 4) |
The huge Venom Pod sits before you. You need to find a way to open it. |
|
Taking the severed arm in both hands you manage to clumsily thump it onto the surface of the Venom Pod. Nothing happens as it is so large and heavy that you can't really get any force behind it.
You see that there is no hope in breaking the shell of the pod with a Lizards Arm that you can hardly hold above your head. You turn and look for Grux to see if he had any ideas. Holding the Arm in place against the pods thick shell you let it slide as you look for Grux. As the Arm slides down the shell, the claws extend and venom pours out of concealed glands and start to rush down the arm.
You just manage to see the toxic yellow liquid before it touches you and drop the arm.
You are astonished to see that the arm does not fall to the slimy ground, but hangs there for a moment. The claws sunk deep into the shell of the Pod. Then the sheer dead weight of the arm pulls it to the floor, a large gash opens as the venom laced claws melt the pods shell like butter.
From inside the Pod, huge balls of jelly pour out. You pick one up. It is about the size of your head, a ball of semi-translucent green jelly with a smaller black ball inside it. You should take the Jelly Ball back to Grux. He might know what it is.
You receive 1 x Jelly Ball |

Stage 4 |
Location: | Rah Kain (Cargo Pad) (13, 8) |
Grux is avoiding the Loader walking past when you return. Not getting crushed seems to be harder than it would first appear. 'Did you see what was inside those Venom Pods?' he asks. |
|
Grux takes the ball and looks at it closely, 'Ummm, this looks like a Signature Capsule. Our Scientists use ones that are about the size of your thumbnail to alter the base coding of a Golgesh Unit. But I must be wrong, this Capsule is the so big. If this is used in the production of a Golgesh Unit... it would be monstrously massive! No, I must be wrong. Come on we will only get crushed by these loaders if we stay out here.'
You receive 290,111 Xp + 10 Skill Points |
