A Biosensor

Talk to Kelton Frush at the base of the large tree in the MAST district of New Atlantis. He seems to be used to people dismissing his work studying trees, however he believes that the large tree is in danger. He asks if you'd be willing to help him collect biosensors which he uses to collect "pertinent information" about the situation.

Three sensors can be found in the following locations:

• Below a tree outside the walls of The Lodge.
• Below a tree outside Reliant Medical.
• In the crook of a tree, between Pioneer Tower and the park near Chunks where Zawadi Wade wanders.

Another sensor was picked up by a local child, and sold nearby to Wen Tseng at UC Distribution. She offers to sell it to you for 100, which is "What she paid for it plus a convenience fee". Either pay the fee, or steal the biosensor off a desk in the backroom.

Return to Kelton, who (after he analyzes the data) informs you that the internal composition of the tree is changing, as evidenced by some low frequency sound waves. He will report his findings to MAST. This concludes the mission, and starts an activity to check in with him later.

Notes

• Any text displayed in angle brackets (e.g., <Alias=LocationHold>) is dynamically set by the Radiant Mission system, and will be filled in with the appropriate word(s) when seen in game.
• Not all entries may appear in your log; which entries appear and which entries do not depends on the manner in which the mission is done.
• Stages are not always in order of progress. This is usually the case with missions that have multiple possible outcomes or missions where certain tasks may be done in any order. Some stages may therefore repeat objectives seen in other stages.
• If an entry is marked as "Finishes Mission" it means the mission disappears from the Active Mission list, but you may still receive new entries for that mission.
• On the PC, it is possible to use the console to advance through the mission by entering setstage City_NA_Botany01 stage, where stage is the number of the stage you wish to complete. It is not possible to un-complete (i.e. go back) mission stages, but it is possible to clear all stages of the mission using resetquest City_NA_Botany01.
