Botanist Taerix (Completion):

Oh, thank goodness you've come. We have much to do.

Volatile Mutations:

The irradiated power cores from the Exodar have been wreaking havoc on the environment here. The most obvious effect has been the appearance of the strange creatures that seem to have sprung up near them.

There may be something we can do to help them, but now, their sheer numbers are becoming too much for us to handle. 

I'd like you to go out and cull their numbers somewhat, and perhaps I'll have another idea after giving it some thought. 

Volatile Mutations (Completion):

You're finished? That's good news. Hopefully, we can find a way to avoid the killing of these mutated beasts in the future.

I believe I have found a plan that might give us an alternative solution to this problem, but I will need your help. 

What Must Be Done...

The nearby lake has been contaminated by one of the ship's power crystals. Many of the plants and animals of Ammen Vale have been mutated because of this. 

I have a theory on how to heal the lake, but I must have samples from the mutated lashers for analysis. They can be found to the west in the Ammen Fields.  

What Must Be Done...(Incomplete):

I'll need all of the samples in good condition if we're to have a chance of cleansing the lake.

We don't have much time, hunter!

What Must Be Done...(Complete):

These will do. Thank you, hunter!

While you were out, I managed to gather some equipment together to make an anlysis of the samples. This should only take a moment.

Healing The Lake:

Thank goodness. I think it'll work! I have an agent for you to spread at the Silverline Lake to the south. It will neutralize the effects of the irradiated ship's power crystal that fell there. 

Swim out and scatter the neutralizing agent near it. Don't worry, you won't be exposed long enough to become irradiated.

Healing The Lake (Completion):

From what you describe, the neutralizing agent worked! I just wish that I knew how long it will last; we really need to remove that power crystal from the lake entirely.

Thank you, Natilee! I will tell Treden to try the neutralizing agent on one of the captured beasts at once. 

Vindicator Aldar:

With your help, we were able to find a solution to our problems faster than I could have hoped. 

I don't have any other work for you to do. My apprentice and I can handle the rest.

You should go speak with Vidicator Aldar on the other side of the ship.
