You've met up to Sullivan's standards, a feat few manage. Now that you've proven yourself capable, he might send you to investigate some of the planet's old mysteries.
'You've proven to be more capable than the average prospector, so this shouldn't be too complicated. Clear out any hostile fauna at our old Science Campus on Bright Sands, and search through the containers there; you might find something useful. '

Reputation'The Lake in Bright Sands is home to a few very valuable endemic creatures, but the explosion in rattler and strider populations have all but pushed them out of their habitat. Cull their numbers, help return the balance. '
Osiris ScripK-MarksReputation'I've been looking through old notes from before the evacuations and came upon something... interesting. There were some unique bone samples found at the Archaeology site, distinctly mutated; retrieve them for me. '
Old BonesOsiris ScripK-MarksReputation'Ah, you might appreciate this next job. Osiris Defense Systems R&D wants field data on what's behind these powered doors scattered around Fortuna, as well as on our current weapons. As used on... real targets. I do hope you can figure out what to do. '
ScarabOsiris ScripK-MarksReputation'The process that mutates a Strider into a Heavy Strider still isn't fully understood. We need more samples for our research; kill some of the creatures, and bring back something we can run tests on. '
Heavy Strider FleshOsiris ScripK-MarksReputation'One of our more 'hands-on' researchers forgot how to pack their tool bag, and another picked a fight with some thorn bushes and lost. Again. Anyways, stash some Med Kits and a Biological Sampler for them at these locations. You might have some luck finding what you need in old medical containers. '

Clean Room KeyOsiris ScripK-MarksReputation'We sent another prospector for a simple milk run to the Vaccine Labs, and they've yet to return. I suspect due to the mass of creatures that've recently made the area their nest. Pacify the area, and while you're down there, complete your missing comrade's job and bring me Flora Sample they were sent to retrieve.. '

ManticoreOsiris ScripK-MarksReputation'The financial team is struggling to figure out what project to waste money on for next quarter. How do you fit in? Well, I need prospectors to demonstrate the use of different weapons, and the straw I picked for you says 'Assault Rifle'. Now, off you go. '

Strong MedkitOsiris ScripK-MarksReputation'You're really adept at shooting things, aren't you? Unfortunately, so are rattlers, especially the 'mature' varity. Head to the Bright Sands Jungle and get me some Mature Rattler Eyes, I want to know how they can spot and track targets so well. '
Mature Rattler EyesOsiris ScripK-MarksReputation'Remember those Old Bones you brought back earlier? There's a mystery there, something artificial. I need you to head to the Extinct Creatures lab in Crescent Falls and retrieve a Warden Tooth, it might have the answers I seek. '
Warden ToothOsiris ScripK-MarksReputation'I plan on sending down a team to collect more old samples. Make sure they're well supplied, stash some Resin Guns in the Greens Prospect Office for them. '
