Therapist — briefing

Hello, mercenary. In field conditions it is extremely important to anticipate any potential hazards in advance. Once a patient is already on the operating table, you can only work with whatever is available at hand. That is why I would like you to bring me high-dose potassium iodide tablets. Yes, these are used in cases of severe radiation exposure. And no, we have not recorded any leaks recently. I must ask you not to spread information about this order. You do not realize how severely panic among the population can complicate the work of my department. I am simply preparing for any incidents that may occur in the future. The issue is that in Tarkov itself we have never found this dosage. Such preparations are typically stored at nuclear facilities, as they are only relevant there. I hope your search proves more successful than that of my staff.

Objectives

• Find 10 Nooby Shield potassium iodide tablets in raid
• Hand over the items

Tactical notes

• WHERE TO LOOK: the tablets spawn on Icebreaker at ordinary medical spots, across various rooms. There is no single room — you collect them as you sweep.
• You need ten, and that is not one raid. They have to be carried out alive or the finds will not count.

On completion

Therapist: Where did you manage to obtain so many? I was not even expecting five packs… The Icebreaker? Such a find could be extremely important for supporting our work. I need to check something in the department, and then I will return to you with a new task. We cannot afford to miss an opportunity of this value.
