The alien hears out your request for the coordinates, but seems preoccupied. It keeps muttering to itself something about sample collection...
You finally get the scatter-brained creature to explain that it forgot its soil sample collection gear on three different islands. The problem is that the "intelligent" creature has forgotten which of the seven islands it has left the gear on.
Maybe if you collect the gear for the creature, it will stop obsessing over the soil and be able to help you with the coordinates. Explore the seven islands below. Three will be the correct islands, three will be decoys, and one will contain a special side quest. Once you have collected all three sets of gear, talk to the alien.
(Hint: you do not need to complete all seven islands. Randomly choose islands to explore until you discover all three pieces of gear. You will earn points for giving correct answers, so answer carefully!)
