Quest stages of Early Warnings

1. Listen to Abbie

I discovered an old bunker in the Mire. When I entered, a voice recording came over an intercom system. I should listen to it and find out what the creator was up to.

2. Find the missing Uplink

I triggered a recorded message from a woman named Abbie. She asked for my help to find a missing uplink. Abbie said the last person who had it was a man named Madigan, heading toward Top of the World.

To find the missing uplink you must complete The Missing Link quest.

3. Repair the Broken Uplink

I have Madigan's uplink, but it's broken and needs repairs. Once I have the parts, I need to repair it at a tinker's workbench. Abbie mentioned she has one in her bunker.
