| - You collected this chemical residue from a machine in the lab you saved from the Devouring Earth. According to Dr. Steven Sheridan, the Devouring Earth were manufacturing a drug that can cripple the immune system, thus lowering the body's chance of fighting off a mutagen or organ transplant.
- You collected this chemical residue from a machine in the lab you saved from the Devouring Earth. Upon analysis, it may yield a clue to the creatures' plans.
- They took Tanya Tyler! She's been with our organization for years; she was one of the most zealous about defending the Earth!
- You found this small packet of organic material on a Devouring Earth creature. It is bright green, mushy, and smells like something that has spent too long in the back of the refrigerator.
- When you rescued her, Tanya Tyler told you:
'It's true, I did know Hamidon. Back then, he was Hamidon Pasalima, the molecular biologist. He was so passionate! So concerned about the world! We fell in love.
'But I haven't seen him in years, not since our first raid on Paragon Technological Institute. Yes, I was there. Hamidon used the facilities to create something he called 'The Will of the Earth'. A colony of sentient bacteria with the ability to warp living material on a molecular level. When the heroes came to stop us, I lost track of him. I guess I always assumed he had been killed.'
- One of the guards you rescued told you:
'We tried to stop them, but there were just too many. They took Tanya Tyler! You've got to help her!
- Tanya Tyler told you:
'I saw Hamidon! Oh, he's a monster! He's not a man at all anymore! He told the creatures to inject me with this weird medicine, and I fainted. When I woke up, I was green! Please, I don't want to be a monster! Help me!'
- One of the technicians you rescued told you:
'They took all sorts of drugs: Repronex, Progesterol, Cencepta. All fertility drugs. What would those monsters want with fertility drugs?
- This sample is a medicine that weakens the immune system. Doctors use similar medication when they're doing a major organ transplant; it keeps the body from rejecting the new organ. I'd guess the Devouring Earth plan to turn this substance into a virus, to weaken all of our immune systems so that we're more susceptible to their mutagens. They never stop trying to wipe us out, do they? I don't know if even the Rikti hate humanity this much!
- This medical kit contains several hypodermic needles, each with a pre-measured dose of Dr. St. John-Smythe's stabilizing agent. If administered in time, it should prevent the victims of the gassing attack from turning into mutants.
- Scrawled in mud on a whiteboard in the stockbrokers' office, you found this section of the Devouring Earth's manifesto. It reads:
'The children of commerce are our greatest enemy, for theirs are the shoulders upon which the world's corporate obscenity is built. They are the root of the devastation that has been wreaked upon Earth, our precious mother, our one, irreplaceable home.
- One of the technicians you rescued told you:
'They had some people with them. That's right, people! One of the men wore a shirt that said 'Fauna First.' He was the one who operated the autoclave and the other machines those monsters couldn't manipulate. They cooked up some sort of medicine, then trashed the lab.'
- You found this map of Brickstown on one of the Devouring Earth creatures you defeated. A large X has been scrawled across one corner of the map, and the word 'Terra' is scribbled above it.
- This small pouch, found in a Devouring Earth cave, is composed of plant material. It is almost weightless, and seems to contain only gas.
- This substance you found may look like a moldy pita pocket, but it's one of the most insidious weapons I've ever seen. It's a neat little packet of cancerous tissue, combined with a catalyst that will force the disease to multiply rapidly in any human host. Of course, without a delivery system, it's totally harmless. I don't see any way for the Devouring Earth to infect a person with this, short of force-feeding it to them. No, what they need is some sort of syringe or other injection system, something to get this tissue directly into the bloodstream. Oh. Oh, no.
There was a Devouring Earth raid on Lawson Pharmaceuticals this morning. Quick, organized, and destructive. Ginger Yates probably would have sent you, but you were already engaged over at ZenTech. I'm beginning to think the ZenTech attack was just a distraction, to keep you occupied while they got what they needed from Lawson Pharmaceuticals. Unless I miss my guess, the Devouring Earth is hard at work producing a stockpile of weapons that can destroy our citizens from the inside out!
- You found this bottle of kiwi-flavored sports drink at the warehouse you rescued from the armies of Nemesis. The liquid inside is a virulent green color. When you hold the bottle in shadow, you can perceive a faint glow from the contents.
- You found this letter while searching for the missing environmental activist, Tanya Tyler. It reads:
My darling Tanya,
I have thought often of you these many years. Your beauty, your determination, your everlasting devotion to our Mother Earth--all these I remember, and they gave me hope. One day I shall rise from this dank and musty den to which I have been consigned, but until then, dearest Tanya, you will be my vessel. My Terra. You will spread our message, and you will cover the Earth.
All my love,
Hamidon
At the bottom of the letter, a map has been hurriedly scrawled in dirt, along with the message, 'Please, help me!'
