He reloads his rifle and scans the sands around him, \'This is a dangerous place, even by our standards. But I suspect you shall taste that more than I. My task was two fold, I was to find out what could be done about the crawling horror, and give you a Mission from Stormpost Tower. I see that the first part of my task is done. The Horror has been devoured from the inside out. I suspect your hand in this and I honor you. But Stormpost has a problem, the Ganth was far too big not to be seen walking across the Salt Run. They say, it must come from a secondary camp of Rah Kain. We have walked all our lands and found nothing. There is just one area we have not been. The Circle of Torment.\'
\'It is a cursed land, Silver Men and twisted machines fight an eternal battle there. All who enter the Circle get caught up in the Torment and if they return at all, it is never whole. The savagery of the fighting is inhuman, but it is the only place where we fear to go. Stormpost asks that you search the Circle of Torment for the Golgesh Camp. I council you my friend, refuse this. The Torment is a living hell of machines that cannot be killed.\'
The Hunter then takes out a Comms Unit from his backpack, \'I have to verify your success with the Mega Ganth. But we rarely come this far from our caverns. May I ask you to get something for us. The Saltfang is an Entity of strange biology. Its blood is toxic in a manner that boggles the mind. I suspect that the Golgesh living weaponry will not react well to it.\' He hands you a Blueprint, \'Will you get us a Saltfang Quart. I\'m sure the Stormpost boffins can synthesize it into some sort of weapon.\'

Step 3 · The Circle (Edge) (21, 6)
- Minimum level
- 322
Reward item: Accord Data Stream Blueprint
Completion
It detects several lists of system errors that all revolve around there being nobody in the suit but oddly find that there is a massive storage medium within the suit. It is brimming with data. So much so that it is overloading the limited computation capabilities of the Battlesuit. But there seems to be a repeating cycle of specific data objects that keep repeating. The Suit seems to be flagging these objects as critical and is executing them over and over.
But that is not causing the suit to lay flailing around on the ground. You skip past these errors and then find a Critical Failure List. It details the Data Stream has been destroyed so that the CPU cannot access the suits sensors and movement servos. The Diagnostic Software scans the suit and prints out a Blueprint. You will need to replace the Data Stream so that the Soldier can at least function.
You receive 1 x Accord Data Stream Blueprint

Step 4 · The Circle (Edge) (21, 6)
- Minimum level
- 322
Required item: Accord Data Stream
Completion
The bodyless suit shakes it\'s rifle in frustration, \'Out of ammo, how did that happen!\' You draw your own weapon and rest it on the fallen warriors metal chest then say slowly, \'I have just gone to the bother to replace your broken Data Stream and that\'s all the thanks I get?\' The suit suddenly chuckles, \'Nonsense, it would take thousands of years for Accord technology to fail. Either that or Rebellion forces get the drop on me. Which is less than likely.\'
You suddenly realize that the Soldier does not seem to have a strong grip on his situation. An idea suddenly occurs to you. After helping him to his feet you grab his sniper rifle barrel. Then lead him over a small rise. Beneath you is another Accord Sniper, he constantly scans the area.
The Sniper gasps, \'That Soldier has died! We must get him to the Tower as soon as possible.\' You then grab the Warriors other hand and force it where his face should be. The metallic hand resists for a second, but when it does not meet with flesh, it starts to feel for his own head. \'Where is my face!\' You say you have no idea. Every Soldier you have met has no body, just the moving suit.
The Warrior then goes silent for a long while.
You then say that you have been sent to look for a Golgesh Camp that is suspected to be in the Area. The Warrior shrugs, I can\'t remember what that is. I get the feeling that the Golgesh are a bad thing. But I can\'t place why. We must get to the Accord HQ, its a Tower on the West Flank. That is where the Main Battle Computer is. We need to talk to it, it will know what to do. But its quite a distance from here. I shall scout ahead, meet me in the Field. I don\'t want too get separated.

You find the constant stare of the System Manager is rather intimidating, you grit you teeth and ask him what is happening with these strange robots running around the Head Quarters. The System Manager throws his hands up to the ceiling, \'I know. It\'s a Rebellion strike against the Accord. They have sent a horde of Spybots to gather information on us. I have asked for assistance with them but I get no answer. I assume that the Battle Computer is too busy with more pressing matters of the War.\' He then looks at you anew, \'Sgt, would you do me a favor and find a way to destroy the Rebellion Spybots? It\'s taking all my time in trying to manage the problem. I can\'t get to my other duties while we are being attacked like this.\'
You nod, but are unsure what these “Spybots” actually are. You had best get more information about the odd droids before jumping to any conclusions about them.

Before you can blink the shifty Droid appears at your shoulder, \'You wanted me Accord?\' The Battle Computer looks at the Scenario Analyst, \'Yes, this individual is not listed in our records. What are the options available to us?\'
The synthetic voice of the Analyst begins to drone on. But you are suddenly struck by a green goo that seeps momentarily out of the seam of the Analysts jaw joint. As he speaks the goo is sucked back in, you wonder if you even saw it. You are astonished that the Droid would have such a faulty seam, when it happens again. But this time the shade of the goo reminds you of something.
The Droid is half way through a complex regulation when you step in front of him. Taken aback it stops speaking. The Accord AI looks at you, \'I cannot talk to non-Accord personnel please...\' You slam you hand on the keyboard, the AI shudders momentarily with sudden chaos of the input. You say harshly, \'Have you had any contact with the Golgesh?\' The Accord Battle Computer looks up at you in complete confusion, \'That name is familiar, but my systems have been damaged so I cannot access the relevant data connected to the word. But we have had no contact with any outside influence in a long time. Though my internal time clock is not working properly. I really must contact the System Manager about that. I\'ll do it later. Why do you ask?\'
You hear a strangled gasp from behind you. Turning you see the droid reaching for you, though it is moving like a drunken puppet. You easily side step the lunging droid, then see the green ooze seep out between its finger joints. You need to get the Accord Battle AI to talk to you, and do it quickly as the Analyst has suddenly turned on you with apparent murderous intent.

I ask you to search the Rebellion Bunker to the East. The Bunker can be found on the East Flank past the Frontline. But before that, the System Manager has requested a replacement Sniper Rifle for you. For your actions I shall honor the request.\' With a whine and a sudden flash of light, an Accord Sniper Rifle lays at your feet.

Tarron re-loads his Sniper Rifle, \'Well I can\'t let you go alone. It was you who re-set my systems after all. I guess I have been thinking clearly due to that.

Required item: Unshielded Tracking Array
Completion
With the sudden movement of you hurling the device, the Gun swings with surprising speed and points at you. Only your adrenaline fueled reflexes save you from the lethal volley of venom that is blasted your way.
You back away slowly from the vicious security arm. You see that the Seeker Verges do not fire on the Arm. Their detectors might confuse the Arm with a plant or beast. But when the Unshielded Tracking Array gives a shrill bleep and starts to scan the area randomly, you see Seekers gather almost immediately on a rise nearby...
You decide it\'s best to leave the area. You don\'t get too far when you hear the first sounds of conflict behind you.
You were about to go and find Tarron when the Sniper appears on a ridge above you, \'I saw what you did there. Placing a dirty scanner at it base of the Gun Arm, nice... The Seekers would not be able to resist that kind of target. Come on, we can get into the Bunker as soon as the Seekers are finished, and we can find out what the Rebellion has been up to.\'
