Mechanic — briefing

Been waiting for you, friend. My workers found a rare ultrasonic thickness gauge at the customs warehouse, along with some equally useful equipment. There's nothing better that can give me that kind of precision in my measurements! I can't risk it, so I'm trusting you with this recovery mission. Pick up the package at Customs and deliver it to the designated point at Polikhim. There's something I've been wanting to test for a while... Wait, you didn't know about the industrial area shortcut? I used it back when I worked at Polikhim. It was the only way to get equipment to the plant that would otherwise be stuck in customs for months. A fellow forester showed me this path. He said that people were afraid to pick mushrooms near the plant, so it was always full of good pickings.

Objectives

• Locate and obtain the precision tools package in the laboratory on Customs
• Use the transit from Customs to Factory (In one raid)
• Eliminate 3 Scavs on Factory (In one raid)
• Stash the package at the laboratory storage room on Factory

Tactical notes

• 3 maps — Customs, Factory and The Lab, but a transit links them: not separate raids.
• All in one raid: leaving early resets the progress.
• Unlocks only at trader loyalty: Mechanic to LL2.

On completion

Mechanic: You didn't lose anything along the way, correct? All right, then it's time to send the engineers out to do some measurements, we're about to find out what these factory walls are hiding. Thanks for your help, friend.
