The tagged reclaimer scuttles away, leaving a distinctive aroma in its wake. For the first half a kilometer, you don’t even need Gus to tell you where to go, but as the reclaimer gets farther and farther ahead, you find yourself relying on your tiny friend’s very sensitive nose.

Soon you notice the light dimming through the trees. The reclaimer isn’t showing any signs of stopping, so you’re going to have to press on into the night if you want to stay on its trail.

Rangers Choose

A) Let the reclaimer go. Return **FIND THE NEST** to the mission area in the surroundings.

B) Follow the reclaimer (ends the day).

You spend hours traveling across the Valley with only the light of the moon and your lambance rigs to guide you. All the while, the yipping of Gus the mole spurs you onward.

The trail leads to a bluff overlooking the mysterious ruins known as the Rings of the Moon and the Silverfin River beyond. The Sentinel Star alights above the mountains, and by its cold radiance you see the reclaimer far below, clearly headed toward the Alluvial Ruins. What better place for reclaimers to nest than in the collection of ruins and detritus left by the flood that destroyed the Estian arcology?

Complete FIND THE NEST, and gain the INTO THE NEST mission.

End the day. You are considered to have camped. Record your ending location as "The Rings of the Moon" and your path terrain as "Ravine."
