Oh, PLAYERNAME! As if all these strange occurrences weren't bad enough, I have some shocking news for you.
More trouble, Kora?
Kora
We were in the middle of receiving a report from Lieutenant Vaelyn's team at the Core Terminal when our signal was disrupted. It took some time, but I've managed to pinpoint the source of the disruption. It's coming from that strange device you discovered near Vanaduke's throne room in Firestorm Citadel. It seems like someone has activated it.
Activated it? How?
Kora
We don't know for sure but it has to be related to the Artifact. The energy signatures are identical. If the Artifact is involved that means...
That gremlin Herex must be involved.
Kora
That is our assumption as well. I hate to send you back into that horrible place, PLAYERNAME, but if there is any hope of quickly getting to the bottom of this mystery it is you. The citadel is still very dangerous so please be careful!
