- Damakaios, leader of the Ripa Daneo Freelancers, assigned Fine Branch, Dryali Tezbeth, and Nix Frostshaper to track one of the captured hawk constructs back to its home base. Alvyn Ricker Nackle had re-engineered it to fly home without calling for help, and Damakaios had convinced Manaja, headmistress of the Sugar Glider Hang Gliding School, to fund the mission.
- After explaining the hawk's expected behaviour to Dryali, Alvyn waited until the other Freelancers were ready and waiting in the air before he activated the hawk and released it.
- The hawk flew northeast along the Rim, with the Freelancers easily able to trail behind it on their mounts. Once past Hasapis Vineyard, it turned directly north over the crater.
- Upon returning to the Rim, roughly east from Moana's Eye, the hawk construct disappeared into a cave.
- The Freelancers landed on a nearby hill and sent Nix's familiar Mercury to scout. The winged cat found the cave had an entrance to accommodate flying mounts, and broad passages down into the hill. He stopped upon detecting construct sentries of some sort around a corner.
- The Freelancers spent the rest of the day scouting the area. They found a second entrance, large enough to dock a small airship, guarded by 4 constructs: 2 animated armours, and 2 more spindly humanoid constructs.
- Returning to the first entrance, Fine Branch and Mercury both went in to scout, and Fine Branch confirmed some sort of warning trap existed where Mercury had previously detected constructs.
- The Freelancers, sure this was their target, were uncomfortable camping in those environs and spent the night returning to Ripa Daneo. Dryali's and Fine Branch's mounts were not robust enough for it, so they took rest breaks and did not arrive til dawn.
- Upon arrival, they informed Damakaios they'd found the base, but waited until evening for a full debrief and mission pay of 225 eagles (after Freelancers' Cut).
- Returned to Freelancers Tavern Sieratag, 2nd prime post-Planting.
Loot
- Mission pay: 250 eagles each (10% to Freelancers)
