Quest: Spy Reports
NPC: Gurtrude (Fortress Mech)

[Thu Jan 17 23:09:29 2008] You say, 'Hail, a fan mechanic'
[Thu Jan 17 23:09:29 2008] a fan mechanic barely turns to acknowledge you, his hair rustling slightly in the breeze from the fan behind him, 'Did someone [send] you to speak with me?'
[Thu Jan 17 23:09:32 2008] You say, 'send'
[Thu Jan 17 23:09:32 2008] a fan mechanic says 'Well, who sent you?'
[Thu Jan 17 23:09:35 2008] You say, 'Gurtrude'
[Thu Jan 17 23:09:36 2008] a fan mechanic nods with relief, 'It's good that you've contacted me, my name is Cogly, I have been unable to report back to Gurtrude due to the increased security here... All thanks to the new head engineer, Gearwhir... He is causing all sorts of problems for us, and needs to be [eliminated] at all costs.'
[Thu Jan 17 23:09:38 2008] You say, 'eliminated'
[Thu Jan 17 23:09:39 2008] a fan mechanic lowers his voice slightly, 'Gearwhir is highly intelligent; he is also extremely paranoid and is very careful to avoid being exposed to any potential threat... I've been here gathering information for quite some time and I've worked out a [plan] to lure him out into a location we control, and ambush him...'
[Thu Jan 17 23:09:41 2008] You say, 'plan'
[Thu Jan 17 23:09:41 2008] a fan mechanic ***** his head to one side, 'I've noticed that Gearwhir seems to have an amazing ability to monitor and maintain almost all parts of this facility... Any time the slightest problem arises, he seems to be on site almost immediately to fix the problem... We will need to gather a few [parts] first, but I believe we can exploit this fact to ambush and neutralize him.'
[Thu Jan 17 23:09:46 2008] You say, 'parts'
[Thu Jan 17 23:09:46 2008] a fan mechanic says 'One of our other agents has managed to surreptitiously disable and secure a steamwork in one of the main manufacturing rooms... If we can gather the parts to create a [warped driveshaft], we can install it into the steamwork and reactivate it. With any luck, it will cause enough of a commotion to draw out Gearwhir, and enable us to strike before they have a chance to react.''
[Thu Jan 17 23:09:50 2008] You say, 'warped driveshaft'
[Thu Jan 17 23:09:50 2008] a fan mechanic says 'To create a warped driveshaft we need to liberate a regular Clockwork Driveshaft from one of the steamworks in the factory... Unfortunately they are a bit delicate, so you may have to try a few times to find one that isn't damaged. We will also need a calibration device; you can probably find a Calibration Device in one of the storage rooms. Some of the engineers here sometimes carry Calibration Device Screws and Calibration Device Schematics, we will need those items as well in order to set and use the calibration device to warp the Clockwork Driveshaft... Once we're done, we can [insert] the Warped Clockwork Driveshaft into the disabled clockwork in the manufacturing room.''
[Thu Jan 17 23:10:06 2008] You say, 'insert'
[Thu Jan 17 23:10:06 2008] a fan mechanic sighs softly, 'Unfortunately I will not be able to leave my post to assist you... Once you insert the Warped Clockwork Driveshaft, the steamwork should begin to malfunction and draw out Gearwhir... He's not to be underestimated, so be sure you have backup before you engage him.... If you are successful, be sure to search him carefully for any information, if you find anything of importance, deliver it to Gurtrude at once.'
[Thu Jan 17 23:10:18 2008] You say, 'hand in 4 items'
[Thu Jan 17 23:10:30 2008] You say, 'Calibration Device Screws'
[Thu Jan 17 23:10:37 2008] You say, 'Calibration Device Schematics'
[Thu Jan 17 23:10:44 2008] You say, 'Calibration Device'
[Thu Jan 17 23:10:49 2008] You say, 'Clockwork Driveshaft'
[Thu Jan 17 23:10:50 2008] a fan mechanic says 'To create a warped driveshaft we need to liberate a regular Clockwork Driveshaft from one of the steamworks in the factory... Unfortunately they are a bit delicate, so you may have to try a few times to find one that isn't damaged. We will also need a calibration device; you can probably find a Calibration Device in one of the storage rooms.

Once we're done, we can [insert] the Warped Clockwork Driveshaft into the disabled clockwork in the manufacturing room.''
[Thu Jan 17 23:11:00 2008] a fan mechanic studies the Calibration Device Schematics for a few moments, then inserts a few of Calibration Device Screws into the Clockwork Driveshaft, rotating them slowly as he measures their depth with Calibration Device, 'There, that should be enough to cause any steamwork to go completely haywire. Now all you need to do is [insert] the Warped Clockwork Driveshaft into the deactivated clockwork in the manufacturing room.'
[Thu Jan 17 23:11:16 2008] You say, 'get item Miscalibrated Clockwork Driveshaft'

just a note he can be engaged, maybe he's the ph for something not sure but i ran through with bard and got curious bout this solo mob, then i read the info bout him being indif.

So took of invis, indeed invis. Hit him to see if i could, and i could and he started hitting me back well 2 times before i faded 466 and 1989 were the hits.

Was solo so didnt get to kill him. But this could be something to check.

He prolly even can be kited as he alone in a rather big room.

Maybe a kiting camp in steamfactory ?

He is located at the room just above dead end on map in the south east corner of map, next to the fusion reactor.
Who is he?

This fellow is indifferent. When hailed:

a fan mechanic hums a little tune and continues working.

I thought he may be the missing Steamwork Spy MK-VII but it seems not.
