Be diplomatic.\nelse\n\tWren: *She holds up the coordinate pages, frustrated.*\n\t\tI can't make sense of the grid system. It's definitely not US military standard.\n\t\t*She sets them down carefully.*\n\t\tI remember seeing foreign maps in the Institute some time ago - pre-war, non-US military. The Rangers took them during some time ago.\n\tWren: *She looks up, determined.*\n\t\tIf this scientist was using one of those maps, we'd need the same one to place these coordinates.\n\t\tI tried reaching out through official channels, but... relations between the Institute and Rangers are tense right now. They're not answering my requests.\n\tWren: *She meets your eyes.*\n\t\tCould you go to the Frontier? Talk to Wesley Woodard - he's their operations commander there. Explain what we need.\n\t\tThe Rangers are suspicious of Institute motives after Dove Creek. You're not officially Institute, so maybe they'll listen. Just... be diplomatic. Please.\n\tWren: [#quest_info=f5489c7b-9ec0-44e3-89c2-86bef29d3679]\n\tif is_quest_accepted:\n\t\tWren: [quest: accepted] [#end]\n\t\t\tThank you. The Frontier is on the eastern edge of the region. Wesley should be at the Ranger station.\n\telse:\n\t\tWren: [quest: declined] [#end]\n\t\t\tI understand. Let me know if you change your mind.\n=> END\n\n~ start 5500b939-2571-47d6-9827-6f4152b35844\nWesley: *A tall, powerfully built man in his late thirties stands near the training grounds, watching recruits run combat drills. His Ranger uniform shows signs of field use, and medical pouches line his belt. He turns as you approach, his expression assessing but not unfriendly.*\n\nif is_quest_accepted\n\tWesley: *He crosses his arms as you approach.*\n\t\tYou need something?\n\t- I'm looking for a particular map with foreign grid system\n\tWesley: *He studies you for a moment.*\n\t\tForeign survey maps. Let me guess - chasing some old coordinates? Looking for a pre-war site?\n\t- Yes, we need the maps to locate it\n\tWesley: *He shrugs, unconvinced.* [#complete_quest]\n\t\tCould be anything out there. Weather station, survey post, somebody's field lab. Most of what's left isn't worth the time to reach it.\n\t\t*His tone becomes more businesslike.*\n\t\tBut you want the maps anyway. Fine.\n\tWesley: *He shifts his stance.*\n\t\tThose maps are Ranger property. We use them for territory surveys, security planning, protection of the region. They're not sitting in storage gathering dust - they're operational assets.\n\t\t*He meets your eyes.*\n\t\tYou want access? That'll cost you. We need equipment and provisions. Help us with that, and I'll get you what you need.\n\tWesley: [#load_quest=9d721bc1-82ac-4f44-8425-06acf9e4246e]\nelse\n\tWesley: *He's demonstrating field bandaging techniques to a young recruit, his hands moving with practiced efficiency.* [#end]\n\t\t\"Pressure first, always pressure. Tourniquets are last resort - you cut off blood flow, you risk the limb.\"\n\t\t*He notices you waiting and holds up one finger - not now.*\n\t\t*After finishing the demonstration, he dismisses the recruit with a curt nod.*\n\t\tIf you need something, make it quick. Training schedule doesn't wait.\n=> END"
