His former colleague, Quinton Hack, disappeared after realizing something about the gemstone and leaving cryptic notes. Yanma becomes frustrated and leaves the vault, only to overhear a conversation about a containment breach. He rushes back to the vault, but it's already closed. He realizes that "Immortal Sumer Famine" is a person, not an event, and decides to investigate further at Site-17.
