Manager Travis Molen: Pos: 927.5, 887.3, 47.0.
Travis Molen glances at you briefly, then turns his attention back to the raging battle.

Travis can be a little rough around the edges... but keep in mind that he is in charge of the combined defense of the ICC Shuttleport. Of course... the omni's might have a decidedly different viewpoint on that...

Travis assigns missions to speak with Omni Unicorn Squadleader Fixx or Clan Field Surgeon Elsa Oosta for the sided shoulder pads quest. Please Note: The Squadleader and Surgeon NPC’s will not talk to you unless you speak with Manager Molen first…

What? This better be important!
Squadleader Fixx shouts into his wrist-attached intercom.
I don't care if you died...Get your stuff out of reclaim and get back out there, soldier!!
Fixx turns back to you.
Speak up, private!

Fixx is one of Omni's best. Hard Edged and no nonsense, he will immediately throw you into the thick of things.

Clan Field Surgeon Elsa Oosta: Pos: 910.2, 827.8, 39.7.

Thank goodness, you seem to be ok. You are one of the lucky ones today... Between the shuttle crash victims and the soldier's injuries I am almost at the end of my rope...not to mention my resources.

Alien Mobs!
==================================================
Alien Spider – Zix: No loot drops. You
receive 17 credits from the corpse.

Scout - Jaax'Sinuh: the mainstead of the alien mobs... ql 8-13...
Loot Drops:
Kyr'Ozch Sledgehammer
Kyr'Ozch Sword
Kyr'Ozch Energy Rapier
and
Solid Clump of Kyr'Ozch Bio-Material Note: 100% of bio material that I looted is 'of Kyr'Ozch Viral Serum (Making high QL buildings).
You receive 66 credits from the corpse.

Specialist - Cha 'Heru: The ultimate 'Boss' mob on Noob Island... randomly spawns between ql 9 - 13. FAST respawn when killed... usually about 60 seconds. Note: after targeting him... pull him off to the side somewhere to prevent / reduce the number of adds...

Loot:
Kyr'Ozch Submachine Gun
Kyr'Ozch Carbine
Kyr'Ozch Rifle
and
Solid Clump of Kyr'Ozch Bio-Material Note: 100% of bio material that I looted is 'of Kyr'Ozch Viral Serum (Making high QL buildings). So if you are wetting your pants dreaming of farming tradeskill bio material for weapons upgrades, armor, etc... keep dreaming...

Note: It is very disappointing that No Pistols or Machine Pistols have dropped off of the specialist. When it was learned that he was dropping ranged weapons many of us had hoped or presumed that pistols / machine pistols would be included in the mix. So... either he Does Not drop them... or the drop rate is Ultra Rare... If anyone has looted pistols / machine pistols on Noob Island... please share the details with us...

Hmm... forgot how many credits you get from the corpse...

Dyna Bosses!!!
==================================================

Please Note that Several Various NAMED Bosses tend to rotate spawns at the sites listed below… The ‘Educated Guess’ is that certain named bosses are more prone to drop certain types of loot than others… but this is uncomfirmed…

Snake: Pos: 998.9, 780.9, 22.4. (Beach)
Leet: Pos: 865.9, 724.8, 21.1. (Beach)
Reef Salamander: Pos: 794.3, 751.3, 21.8. (Beach)
Malle: Pos: 604.1, 792.2, 21.2. (Beach)
Roller Rat: Pos: 643.2, 866.5. (Beach)
Little Robot: Pos: 955.7, 1025.3, 23.3. (Docks) Pre016.2.0-Note: RK1 (Atla-Server) for some reason this boss does not seem to spawn or time to spawn takes freaking forever. So… you are S.O.L…
Big Bot: Pos: 1022.1, 1000.4, 25.5. (Docks)

Note: You should be able to recognize the Dyna Bosses by their long and unique names. The list of possible names seems unending... It seems that the mobs have First Names, (Middle Names?), and Last Names that can be combined in multiple combinations... So... if there are 10 possible First names... that can be combined with 10 possible Last Names... Then gives ONE HUNDRED possible variants on each Dyna Boss's name...
