Forced Landing
Stage 1
Location:Ashstorm ToO (Crossfire Ridge) (9, 4)
The Crossfire Ridge rises up over the Open Ground and seems to enter a hilly area ahead. As you walk up the high ridge you are bathed in sunshine. It could even be a pleasant trip if it weren't for those Shatter Mines. The infernal things sit silently, then when you pass by they explode showering the area in razor sharp crystal shards. It would not be so bad, but sometimes neighboring Shatter Mines explode causing a deadly chain reaction, making escape almost impossible. You curse your bad luck but walk on, the sooner you get out of here the better. You suddenly hear a cry for help. You carefully search the area for the source of the cry. Eventually you find a crashed B2269 attack fighter, it has crash landed right next to the largest Shatter Mine you have ever seen. The Pilot sits on the smoldering wreckage with a sense of hopelessness.
You do not approach the crashed fighter for fear of setting off the Shatter Mine. The Pilot looks up at you and waves slowly, 'Am I glad to see you. I was shot out the sky by those damnable Trigonal. Those things are horribly accurate. I managed to shoot the area with rockets just before I hit to clear it of mines. I blacked out when I crashed. When I regained consciousness that massive Shatter Mine had grown up right next to me. I dare not move in case it decides I'm non-shard. I suppose the thing has registered us as non-hostile objects as it grew. I can't believe it grew that big over night!'

'Anyway, we have intel that says that the Shatter Mines scan for non-shard personnel and vehicles. So there has to be something that tells the Shatter Mines that we are friendly. Can you try to get me one of those shard signal devices so I can get out of here?'
