Quest text from Mechanic
Been waiting for you, friend. My workers found a rare ultrasonic thickness gauge at the customs warehouse, along with some equally useful equipment. There's nothing better that can give me that kind of precision in my measurements!
I can't risk it, so I'm trusting you with this recovery mission. Pick up the package at Customs and deliver it to the designated point at Polikhim. There's something I've been wanting to test for a while... Wait, you didn't know about the industrial area shortcut?
I used it back when I worked at Polikhim. It was the only way to get equipment to the plant that would otherwise be stuck in customs for months.
A fellow forester showed me this path. He said that people were afraid to pick mushrooms near the plant, so it was always full of good pickings.
