What to do
Description
The wolves have been pawing through the wreckage ever since the crash and I'm afraid they consumed the microfilm from our mission in the process. I have a plan to recover that microfilm, but I need your help to make it work. To the south and east, in the Flood Plains, live creatures called gorlocs. They prepare their foods with noxious spices, which would sicken any other creature. If you can gather enough of the spice pouches from gorloc steam belchers or gorloc waddlers, I can make the wolf bait.
Where to go
Pins are the quest’s own POI points from the current retail client, projected onto the in-game zone map. The game marks one blob as the quest’s turn-in; the rest are objective areas. Points that fall outside a map’s window are dropped rather than guessed at.

Before this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- Finding Pilot Tailspin
I should've flown the mission myself. It's not that I don't trust Tailspin. Far from it. Heck, he was the best wingman I ever flew with. No, it's just that it's my responsibility to lead a mission of such import.
After this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- Lupus Pupus
Whatever you do, don't eat this bait yourself. Just set it down in the vicinity of an oil-soaked wolf. If they're desperate enough to eat the microfilm, they'll come running when they smell the bait. Simply wait for nature to take its course and then all you need to do is search the, uh...
