(As soon as you enter the area, something feels off. The sounds of wildlife go still, leaving you in eerie silence.)

(Something rustles in the brush, and you are suddenly overcome with a feeling of fury, mixed with... shame?)

(There's nothing you can do to make up for what you've already done. Everyone knows your crimes. You'll never escape them.)

Eshelon: And no sight of our Echo-addled friend. I would consider that a success.

Eshelon: Now, the Administrator mentioned Eloine. Based on historical records of the area that could only mean Eloine Enfield.

Eshelon: ...This looks far too small to be the entirety of her lab.

Eshelon: (Eshelon looks around and then freezes as he sees the imposing door set into the wall across from the two of you.)

Eshelon: ......................

Eshelon: A locked door, no apparent method of entry, and mysteriously glowing objects covered in amber.

Eshelon: This is a puzzle.

Eshelon: Good work. Now to see if the key we're looking for is somewhere inside.

Eshelon: Yes, I've been reading up as well. It appears the Amber we've encountered is indeed a type of echo.

Eshelon: I suppose it does have all the same basic properties. A penchant for influencing emotions, a mind of its own.

Eshelon: Which begs the question of what influences the type of Echo we encounter and where?

Eshelon: Regardless, we need to gain access to that Vault. The note you found says that it requires an "Aeroflow Mask".

Eshelon: While in the Highlands, I've had a chance to study the local fauna. Some of them are afflicted by strange masks made of Flow.

Eshelon: An Aeroflow Mask should drop from the ones with yellow shields. I believe they're found in elevated areas, much like the cliff we're on.

Eshelon: I've even developed a tracker to assist. It should help you hunt the masked creatures down.

Eshelon: You've found the first key? Excellent.

Eshelon: While you were hunting down an Aeroflow Mask I found documents detailing the process to charge it.

Eshelon: You should only need to do it once every few centuries. From my understanding it is not complicated.

Eshelon: It does, however, require no small amount of Amber Echo. I have been working on a device designed to extract ambient Echo from the landscape.

Eshelon: Now seems like an excellent time to put it to the test. As long as you have it on your person, anything you gather within the Highlands should also result in some small amount of Echo.

Eshelon: On top of that we will need to find Aeroflow-aspected creatures and extract their elemental energy via the Enfield's Flow Extractor.

Eshelon: Insects tend to carry more Aeroflow than other creatures.

Eshelon: I'll focus on getting the Flow Extractor running again while you hunt for the required items.

Eshelon: It shouldn't take long. I'm quite familiar with Enfield technology at this point.
