• To find and rescue the missing skimmers, and contribute to the event — talk to the Biologist Coreen to start the event first.
• The goal is to destroy Skimmer Trackers that are scattered across the event zone. They are marked with the icon.
  • After destroying a tracker, an Inquest enemy will get spawned. They are marked with the icon. Usually, there is a few-second delay before they spawn.

Dialogue

Before starting the event

Biologist Coreen: I just can't fathom where they all could have disappeared to. It can't be easy for creatures of their size to hide...

To start the event

Biologist Coreen The wavehawks have gone into hiding to avoid the Inquest! Can you help me figure out where they went?

Okay. What's the situation?

I've got too much else to do.

Event start

Biologist Coreen: I've been studying a herd of wavehawks, the native species of skimmer here, but they've completely disappeared.

Biologist Coreen: I'm worried the Inquest are involved. I've found several devices they seem to be using to track them.

Biologist Coreen: We need to find and destroy the trackers before the Inquest can capture any and perform experiments on them.

Talking to Biologist Coreen while event is ongoing

Biologist Coreen We need to find and remove all the Inquest tracking devices so they don't find the wavehawks first.

Right. On it.

Event success

Biologist Coreen: Wonderful, that should slow the Inquest down considerably.

Biologist Coreen: I believe I've picked up the start of the wavehawk trail. If we can follow it, we may discover their hiding spot.

Biologist Coreen: The wavehawks may know of cave systems in the area, so pay attention to any you might see.

Notes

Anomaly:

This event has the same name (with different casing) as the one that comes after, Find and Rescue the Missing Skimmers (80).
