'''Briefing'''

I have a situation with the [[Devouring Earth]]. Their creatures have been spotted in a warehouse, and eyewitnesses say they have hostages. The Devouring Earth rarely let humans live, or at least, rarely let them continue to live as humans. {{Green|I need you to save those hostages and find out what the Devouring Earth are up to.}} Are you up to it? You only have 1 hour to deal with the situation.

'''Mission Acceptance'''

That warehouse holds a lot of bulk foods for the school lunch program. If you can't do something about the raid, a lot of children may go hungry.

'''Unnecessary Solicitation'''

If you can't find the hostages, at least get rid of the Devouring Earth creatures so the police can send a team in.

'''Debriefing'''

It looks like the Devouring Earth were planning to put some kind of mutagen into those school lunches. Who knows what those children would have become? Every parent in this city owes you a debt today.
