Why did Jouster suddenly go offline?
Fiona the Comms Officer
Network connection in Valley IV has been pretty unstable... Maybe I'll try calling him later.
Fiona the Comms Officer
Since we're trying to figure out what the glyphs actually mean, maybe we should head back to the LB camp and investigate, Endmin. Perhaps we'll find something new.

Endmin! I got to the bottom of the missing UWST explosives! And it's just as bad as I thought!
J
joost
But I picked up a new clue! I asked a researcher friend at the HAS, and he just sent me 2 valuable research papers on the LB!
J
joost
Both mentioned those invisible glyphs of theirs! Perhaps you'll find something! I've sent it to your terminal. Check it out!

Be immersed in the haze! Only in the haze will you see the truth!
M
Mad Landbreaker Pyromancer (Landbreaker Priest)
The truth is hidden within the haze! No one will ever see it! NO ONE!
Fiona the Comms Officer
I can't really understand him ... but some of his words could be worth our attention.
Fiona the Comms Officer
What do you think, Endmin? Did you catch anything he said that might help us with the glyphs?
Fiona the Comms Officer
Perhaps the haze from these denstacks is causing effects we're not aware of?
Fiona the Comms Officer
Oh, I remember. We did this before, right?
Fiona the Comms Officer
Endmin, let's try what we did last time. We might find something.
Fiona the Comms Officer
Jump onto the denstack? That's very audacious, Endmin!
Fiona the Comms Officer
But we can try giving that a shot! Somehow, I feel the haze from these denstacks might be different...
Fiona the Comms Officer
Now that you mention it, we did this before, right? These denstacks are giving off a special kind of haze...
Fiona the Comms Officer
A direct investigation might be risky, though.
Fiona the Comms Officer
Alright then, Endmin. Be careful. If anything doesn't smell right, make a run for it!

Story update
Security officer Jouster's friend has given him more information about "Bonekrusher glyphs". You decide to follow the lead.
Radio
Fiona the Comms Officer
Huh? You saw Landbreaker graffiti there as well?
Fiona the Comms Officer
Endmin, if we keep following these graffiti, we might end up at the foot of the hills...

A hidden Landbreaker camp? Geez, this is way too close to the Hub Base...
Fiona the Comms Officer
Why are they gathering here? Hmm... Endmin, we'd better take care of these threats quickly.

Ugh! I've let my guard down...! I'm a security guard, but now I need people to come save me? This is so embarrassing!
J
Jouster
Well, I slipped up! I failed to notice the Landbreakers stalking me! They took me by surprise while I was focused on the clues! I got one down before the others knocked me out cold...
J
Jouster
Then I woke up in this crappy cell... But that's beside the point! Look, Endmin—
J
Jouster
After analyzing the existing graffiti and the records they left behind, I cracked their code! That glyph we saw on the rock means "Rallying Point"! They're gearing up to attack the Hub Base from there!
J
Jouster
Then I better hurry and get rid of that rock! We can't let the Landbreakers have their way!
J
Jouster
Oh yeah, I also made a few notes on the meanings of the other graffiti! Take this, Endmin. Treat it as a souvenir of our great teamwork!
Radio
Fiona the Comms Officer
That'll give us some breathing space... Wait. Endmin, I think I just saw a gate over there.

You follow the LB glyphs and find an LB stronghold and a sealed cave. Look around for a way to open the gate to the cave.

I CAN'T FINISH MY JOB! We would be getting some music if the booster was around... But now it's gone, we don't even have a decent BGM no more! Blight those breaker scum!
Radio
Fiona the Comms Officer
I did a quick scan. The Landbreakers' loot should be inside. Looks like quite a stash...
Fiona the Comms Officer
Go take a look, Endmin. Maybe we'll find UWST property.

Endmin, should we head deeper into the cave and look around?
Fiona the Comms Officer
I'm thinking the LBs might've stashed other things here.

This looks like the Landbreakers' loot, Endmin. Should we open it?

Fiona the Comms Officer
This stash is huge! Some of this stuff looks like it came from the UWST. I'll give Satyr a call and tell him to get his crew over here.
Fiona the Comms Officer
I believe this is a successful conclusion to this incident. We can head back now, Endmin!

Fiona the Comms Officer
Woah! These are legit UWST supplies!
Fiona the Comms Officer
But these aren't explosives. They look more like machine parts... The breakers probably looted them from other places.
Fiona the Comms Officer
Anyway, we should take these with us and return them to the UWST crew mates.
?
(Entering the haze seems to reveal strange-looking graffiti...)
Fiona the Comms Officer
What? Are you saying that the glyphs are different from those you've seen before?
Fiona the Comms Officer
Maybe we should check what they're pointing at, Endmin. Just to be on the safe side.

I can see clear signs of passage around this gate. And those three identical devices... Endmin, there're definitely mechanisms here to open the gate.
Fiona the Comms Officer
Endmin, we're counting on you to figure this out.

(A sealed gate and three identical devices... That denstack may have something to do with them.)

There's a note on the ground. It reads: "Da greyt BAWS gives us da treyzsurr and we's buryed da loot at dis place."
