To state the obvious, you've got to kill the Aqir creatures to get the "bits."
These are the least significant bits I've ever seen.

Description
{name}, this may be the discovery of a lifetime! I cannot yet say with absolute certainty, but I have a suspicion that these insects are known as the aqir. The League has few intact records, but the last mention of these creatures describes a great war waged between the C'Thraxxi, aqir, and early troll civilizations. We had assumed they were driven to extinction, but they may have simply been... rebuilding. Could you please collect some samples for me to examine?

- Obelisk of the Sun
I have one more thing I must ask of you, my friend. Completion of this task is critical to our survival here. Our comrade, Zahra, has taken it upon herself to climb the plateau just east of us to secure one of the old bombers left up there. So far, our attempts to get word back to Arik have failed.
