2 - 3 : Who Art in Heaven

Nilf Abruskur : We've gone over the essential details from the information you recovered, <玩家名稱>, good work on getting this back to us. Here's the decoded message from our Ammatar source:

"All right, my sources have traced the origins of that Khumaak and we've been able to get a little bit of information, but we're still digging. There's remarkably little mention of this stuff anywhere in official records.

"It's called a Wildfire scepter. Apparently, the Wildfires were a particular kind of Khumaak-like scepter that existed only in certain conclaves of Starkman Prime in the years while the planet was under Amarrian occupation. The physical details all match up; the holes in the shaft, the blood obsidian sun center, the slightly smaller sun spirals. Only one other has been found, ever, and has since gone missing.

“According to its previous owner, the Wildfires were all destroyed some years before the Starkmanir rebellion in 22947, and it's not even known for what purpose they were initially created or why, indeed, they were destroyed. We'll have our sources keep investigating.

“Lastly, I've cleared you for entrance to the ruins of St Arzad. I've attached the relevant security access codes. I give you my word that the people there will provide their full cooperation and discretion. I'm told that one of the historians even has a text that mentions this Khumaak of yours.”

There is nothing to suggest that our own agent ever made it out to those ruins. He did not pick up the package you recovered, and he has still not returned to base. As our temporary representative, you will be standing in for him.

Your task is to travel to an orbital forward point for an archaeological dig being conducted on a nearby planet – Starkman Prime. There's a team of historians and archaeologists there, a couple of which are supposed to have texts that reference the Wildfire Scepters. Make your way over there and await further instructions. We'll get to the bottom of this mystery yet.

誰在天上？

Nilf Abruskur : 我們已經看過了你獲取的信息中的重點，<玩家名稱>，你幹得不錯。我們已經把艾瑪達線人發來的信息破解了出來，現在讓我們來聽一下：

“現在，我的情報人員已經追查到了那個庫馬克的源頭而且已經獲得了一些信息，不過我們還在查。官方記錄中對它的提及少得可憐。”

“這東西叫野火權杖。初步來看，野火是種特殊的庫馬克之類的權杖，只在當年艾瑪強佔斯塔科馬首星時在那行星上舉行密會時才使用。這玩意兒的物理特徵完全符合歷史記載：這杆子上有洞，中央有個血色黑曜石恆星，還有較小的恆星螺旋。人們至今只發現過一根這樣的權杖，而且現在已經丟了。”

“據其之前的所有者稱，所有的野火都在22947年斯塔科馬人抗爭之前就被統統銷毀了。誰都不知道當初為什麼要造那些東西，也不知道它們為什麼會被消滅。我們還得讓情報人員繼續追查。”

“最後，我已經幫你們掃清了進入阿爾扎德廢墟的障礙。我附上了相關的通行密碼。我保證那裡的人會全面配合你們。我甚至聽說那兒有個歷史學家存有一段歷史資料，其中提到了你們的庫馬克。”

這段錄音中並未提到我們的代理人去了那廢墟。他也沒有拿到你取得的一袋信息，而且到現在為止還沒回基地。我要你作為我們的臨時代表去頂替他。

你的任務就是去一個附近行星的考古發掘地的軌道中轉站。那裡有一隊歷史學家與考古學家，其中有些人應該有野火權杖的歷史資料。請前往那兒等候進一步指示。我們很快就能把這一切查個水落石出。

Nilf Abruskur : Excellent. You will be well rewarded for your efforts.

Nilf Abruskur : Shit…the Cartel is here, and they're targeting the outpost. You need to act quickly. Secure the area and protect the archaeologists!

Nilf Abruskur : 靠！聯合企業來了，他們正在鎖定哨站。你得要快點行動。防守這個區域保護考古學家。

Nilf Abruskur : The outpost is down. We've lost this battle…and the Cartel knows it. I've just received word from one of their commanders; the terms of agreement for an exchange. Forget the base; it's a lost cause now, just come back to me.

Nilf Abruskur : 哨站已經不行了。我們輸掉了這場戰鬥……聯合企業也明白這點。我剛剛從他們的一個指揮官那兒收到了一條信息，是一份交換條件協議。別管那個基地了，那已經是鐵定完蛋的事情了，現在馬上飛回我這裡來。

Nilf Abruskur : We have a transmission from the Angels. Those god-damned slime-excreting vermin. I think you better get back here right now. We're gonna need you for this next part.
