You are now standing in the briefing room, Morgan at your side, as Captain Altug walks into the room, looking at the two of you sternly. "I've just got this assignment in and according to my roster list, it looks like only the two of you are available for this one." She sighs and shakes her head. "Next time HQ wants a top secret mission done, they need to make sure that we have enough people to run the top secret mission for them before dumping it on us," she mutters loudly.

You and Morgan just stand awkwardly as she goes through the tab in her hands before looking up at the two of you. "We're going to need you to escort the artifact to HQ's research facility," Altug says. You nod, aware that the artifact was excavated two days ago and is currently being stored in one of the cargo bays here in this base camp for safekeeping. Guess they've finally decided to get it moved now, you muse to yourself.

"We're in the midst of loading the artifact into a trailer right now, and you will be delivering it to the first checkpoint, which will be uploaded into your suits. From there, you'll load it onto the delivery train and escort it all the way to the research facility. After the cargo has been verified, you're cleared to leave. Do you have any questions?" Altug adjusts her eyepatch and looks intently at the two of you with her one good eye.
