Requirements:- Mode: Campaign
- Available after: Objective: Visit the RC on Evergreen completed
- Climate zones: Temperate, Mountainous, Arctic
Execution:- Visit the rusty structures scattered around on the islands and interact with them.
- Collect a test log for each of the 3 climate zones. (You may need multiple structures per zone, to get one)

Useful tools:Additional Information:Messages:Okoro's introduction message right after visiting the RC:
Sir, we have recovered entries regarding a special Walrus laser.
From what I gather of the data, a prototype should be available
and is in the testing stage. It appears that we are dealing with
a powerful weapon. Unfortunately, we cannot construct the weapon
from the data we have currently available.
Objectives: can be found under "RESEARCH & DEVELOPMENT":
"WALRUS LASER MK II PROTOTYPE":
We found information indicating that APA is testing a new laser designed for Walruses. Testing was performed in various locations under different climatic conditions (Temperate, Mountainous, Arctic). If we manage to get hold of their testing records, perhaps we may be able to build such a weapon.
"LASER PROTOTYPE: TEST LOG - TEMPERATE":
Tests performed under these conditions were unsuccessful. Although the clamp holds strong, the weapon overheats significantly, eventually bursting and eliminating the carrier vehicle. Tests must be re-attempted in a colder environment. Nonetheless, the clamp design is solid and will appear in all subsequent models.
"LASER PROTOTYPE: TEST LOG - MOUNTAINS":
Tests performed in these conditions were partially successful. Overheating was no longer such a critical problem, however the thin air and strong winds revealed certain defects in the directed beams. In certain circumstances the beams diverged, damaging the carrier vehicle. Technicians were able to uncover the cause and subsequent prototypes no longer have this issue.
"LASER PROTOTYPE: TEST LOG - ARCTIC":
The freezing conditions provided valuable insight into the overheating issue. Technicians were able to isolate the problem and create a workaround involving pressurization of the weapon coolant. This resulted in an efficient cooling system which functioned within nominal levels under conditions previously considered incompatible. Tests were therefore successful.
