Description

Marie's research team has only found a tarry liquid reminiscent of crude oil, but it doesn't burn easily. Never mind that actual crude would need more power to get out of orbit and onto the station than it could ever generate... Someone thought it was worth looking into, though, and the ICA is getting desperate.

'Our people on the surface analyzed everything at the locations you cleared, and they only found some crude oil-like sludge, but it barely burns. It might be nothing, but it's the only outlier. They need specialized equipment to transport samples back home, stash what they need at the Nutrion Farms Office, Prospector. '

'While our people look into the 'crude' samples, there might be something we can search for in the surface networks about it; you'll need to check Uplink stations on Crescent Falls, then we can see if there's anything there about that makes sense out of this. '

'This stuff is actual crude oil... mixed with billions upon billions of dead nanobots. It must have been used by the Progenitors to help terraform the planet! My predecessors from before the storms set up some pumps to collect the stuff; head to them and retrieve what you can. '

'We finally know that 'NiC' stands for Nanite-infused Crude. Someone figured out a way to trigger a reaction in the nanobots' own batteries and get a small burst of energy from them; not much, but with billions of bots in a liter of NiC, it could be the answer to our energy troubles. Now, we just need to build some pumps! Get us these materials so we can fix up a first batch. '

'That Dr. Sullivan is starting to poke around and ask questions, he likes to think Osiris are the only ones that can do any research around here. But if he's curious, then so is that Korolev snake. Head to the surface and perform some 'live' tests with ICA guns, and I'll spread scuttlebutt that we're working on new weapon improvements. '
