What to do
Description
Looking good! No, not you - my new mines. You're just a little full of yourself, aren't you? I, on the other hand, am absolutely brilliant! My intellect cannot be matched. What were we talking about? Oh yes, my new mines! New and improved... ready for whatever devious use Ricket has concocted. Be a good lad and go hand them off to Ricket, will you? She's right over there... it should be quite the epic journey, I'm sure. Be careful though, she's a little loopy.

Before this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- Just Around the Corner
Blast it! Where are my tools? I had them here just a moment ago. Oh! I probably forgot them when I was setting up that minefield in the west. That's mildly inconvenient. I'd be quite appreciative if you could go get them for me. You'll need to watch your step though...
After this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- A Delicate Touch
I've been waiting an eternity for these mines! Well, a few days at least. What took him so long? Here's the low down, compadre... there's this nasty bunch of magnataur--you know, big, hairy, and extremely ugly--and they seem pretty keen on taking K3 for themselves. Not going to happen.
