Before starting

Maxis Potential is the main quest of Firebase Z: Requiem drugs Dr. Peck with his own truth serum to learn how to bring Samantha Maxis back from the Dark Aether. The three Aether Reactors must be on and the RAI K-84 must be in hand, because its launcher is needed in step 4.

Step 1: the truth serum

  1. In the Atrium, talk to Ravenov to start the quest.
  2. With the three reactors on, talk to Peck, then go back to Ravenov for his ID Badge.
  3. With the badge, collect three compounds: S16 in a locker of the Equipment Storage, 36 in Engineering, and P65 in the Colonel’s Office.
  4. At the Chemical Mixer of the Field Hospital, mix them. Hellhounds attack; kill them all.
  5. Use the mixer again to fill the Gas Dispersal Device and take the Agent Delivery System.
  6. In the OPC, fit it to the air conditioner to spray the serum into Peck’s room.

Step 2: the Mimics

  1. Talk to Peck again, then unlock the Memory Transference Station in the Data Center. Four Essence Traps are there; take one, in place of the tactical equipment.
  2. Find a Mimic disguised as loot: the right ones lie next to extra fake items that cannot be picked up. There is one in Peck’s Bedroom in the village, one in the Motor Pool and one in Military Command.
  3. Wound it until it is near death, throw the trap next to it and set it off.
  4. Bring the trap back to the station within three minutes. A short memory of an Omega member plays.
  5. Repeat until the station gives a Floppy Disk.

Thrown like C4 and set off by pressing use twice when an enemy is in range.

Step 3: the Aethermeter

  1. In the Planning Offices, insert the disk into the Quantum Mainframe. The door of the OPC opens.
  2. Enter the OPC to open a dimensional breach. The loudspeakers call for stabilization.
  3. Talk to Peck once more. Ravenov gives the code of a locker to the left of Peck’s office; open it and take the Aethermeter.

Step 4: the Aether crystals

  1. Take the shovel in the left-hand bunker of Scorched Defense.
  2. Open Lot: dig up the container near the window of the Planning Offices. Several containers appear; the right one has no black particles. A wrong one releases Mimics, and the next try waits for the next round.
  3. Jungle Defense: dig near the end of the area. A dome closes around the players; survive until it opens.
  4. Barracks: dig near the Field Hospital. The container flies away each time someone comes close; pin it with the orb of the GP-6K2 of the RAI K-84.
  5. Place one crystal in each of the three Aether Reactors.

Step 5: the rift and the Orda

  1. At the computer of the Planning Offices, realign the satellite dish: move the marker onto each yellow dot, find the Requiem satellite, marked with a question mark, and confirm it.
  2. Get ready before going on: the players cannot return to the firebase, although a Wunderfizz, an ammo crate, an Arsenal and a crafting table wait in the village.
  3. Go back into the OPC. In a cutscene, Samantha walks out of the rift, and the team flees to the village.
  4. An Orda bursts out of the ground in the village. Defeat it to finish the quest.
