Description
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. I sent Tailspin out with our fastest recon squadron to gather information about the Nerubian infestation in the middle of the Geyser Fields. The last report we received placed his squadron in the pools to the far south and just west of the Nerubian sinkholes. Find Tailspin, {name}.

Where this quest fits
Before this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- The Gearmaster
Gearmaster Mechazod is insane! He says that he offers us immortality by removing this so-called 'Curse of the Flesh', but what he's really making are robotic slaves! <name>, we're pretty certain that he's still at the pumping station out in the middle of the pools to the east.
After this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- A Little Bit of Spice
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.
