MISSION BRIEF
Unraveling the Remnant Interdepartmental Communications Log - Nexus Tech Labs
[Tech Lab VI] Remnant Artifacts #43-#51 Added to Work Queue
[Prof. Herik] More Remnant artifacts, delivered for study! I've left them on your workbenches.
[Chief Lucan] C'mon, Herik, at least Ryder's team wipes their finds down first. Now there's silica dust all over.
[Tech Lab VI] Janitorial Notification: Sent to Superintendent Kesh
[Dr. Aridana] Chief, may I take Artifact #47? I would like to run some tests.
[Chief Lucan] Reassigning to you. Got something cooking?
[Dr. Aridana] Perhaps. APEX's last operation disrupted the Archon's attempts to reactivate a Remnant device, and allowed their intelligence division to intercept the base's transmissions. Many of them discuss the kett's attempts to datamine the device and understand Remnant code.
[Dr. Aridana] Why does the Archon have such an interest in particular Remnant locations and artifacts? I believe that, with a touch of subterfuge, we could use the Archon's own insatiable curiosity to find out.
[Prof. Herik] Oh?
[Dr. Aridana] I plan to write a tracer program that uses Remnant code as a disguise. If uploaded at just the right location, one where the kett have been active—
[Prof. Herik] —the kett might download it in their Remnant investigations, and be none the wiser! Like a corivel mistaking a coral-banded traxus for a balkus grub, and taking it back to its nest! Ha!
[Chief Lucan] …right. 'Course.
[Tech Lab VI] Database Information Request: Coral-Banded Traxus / Balkus Grub
[Dr. Aridana] With the tracer hidden in kett systems, we could have insight into the Archon's schemes. But it must be uploaded at a Remnant site the kett are still investigating. That is no easy task.
[Chief Lucan] Didn't APEX find a Remnant structure the Archon was interested in?
[Dr. Aridana] If they would be willing to set foot in there again, and if they can upload the tracer… this could unravel whatever web the Archon is weaving.
[Tech Lab VI] APEX Operation Proposal: Sent to Tiran Kandros

PREVIOUS MISSIONS
CHASING THE ARCHON’S OBSESSION
We have intel that the Archon is about to try reactivating a special Remnant prize. We need to go in and destroy his plan.
ARCHON'S REMNANT FORTRESS
Retrieved artifacts gave us the location of a cave network where the Archon keeps a collection of Remnant. In order to gain vital intel, we went there to find out what the Archon was doing with that Remnant tech.
THOSE ALIEN ARTIFACTS AREN'T FOR YOU
Scavengers were stealing Remnant artifacts to sell on the black market. The more they took the more the kett came knocking. Not sure why the kett are so interested. We needed to get those back.
