Quest text from Lightkeeper

Now, let's begin. I have heard rumors that a certain group of people have decided to stick their noses into my business. I, as you can imagine, am not satisfied with that kind of activity. Your job is to gather information from someone who's always hanging around mercenaries like you, and find out who these people are. You got to figure it out at all costs, okay? Talk to the car evac drivers, they certainly know about this kind of business. I'm sure they won't give you anything for just a hearty thanks, so you'll have to work hard. Understood? Go on, then.
