The Blight trapped him in a cave and messed with his mind.

You're the only slug-keeper left, Oleg.

Awesome work!

Where can we find more slugs?

We caught them all, right?

I actually met someone named Anthony...

Let me count them. Yeah, we might be missing some.

You mentioned someone named Anthony...

These Originium Slugs really know how to hide. Please find them for me!

You actually caught them all! Thank you so much!

The slugs... They're important to our research. I'll be extra cautious when hiring my replacement slug-sitter...

Originium Slugs are perfect lab animals. They reproduce quickly and can literally live anywhere!

When we Terrans first moved to Talos-II, food options were really limited. The slugs got us covered, you know. We released a few slugs into the wild. They quickly adapted to the Talosian environment and evolved into the many slug breeds we see today.

These creatures are now a key part of the global biome. Studying the slugs will help us learn more about Talos-II...

Oh ... that ... yeah... That's probably ... food-grade kohl.

Science is not an easy career, my friend... And I was pursuing a rather important side project concerning ethanol and organic substances. Had to test the results myself, you know. Heheh.

Truth be told ... Originium Slugs were once widely employed to make fermented beverages. Slug secretions contain enzymes that could catalyze starchy crops into kohl and other aromatic compounds.

Well, you can probably find them ... anywhere. Originium Slugs are extremely adaptable and thrive in all sorts of environments.

But slugs aren't very brave. Try looking around caves, rock crevices ... or even the tiny spaces hidden behind the containers.

Look around the spots I mentioned. Good luck.

Anthony is a research assistant I hired. I asked him to look after the Originium Slugs.

I was assigned to support another site due to the Æther rupture. Before I left, I specifically told my RA to keep the slugs safely confined.

But when I returned, both my RA and the Originium Slugs went missing...

I knew the lad for quite a while. Anthony's the dependable type... I wonder why he left without telling me anything.

Yeah... I just hope he's alright.

You did? Where?

The Blight...
