Squeeze Out the Juice Box

Story so far

"Squeeze out the Juice Box" is a timed system quest that appears after Carl shelters Hump Town's children and probes the changeling Juice Box about her people's true goal. Framed by the system's mocking narrator, it reveals that Juice Box is far more important to the story than she first seemed, and that her changeling brothers and sisters are mixed among the doomed Dromedarians preparing to shoot flak at the incoming bombs — a defense that cannot possibly succeed. To win, Carl must save Hump Town from the Wasteland's bombardment before a 75-minute timer expires.

The reward: a Platinum Quest Box, and a permanent fifty-percent charisma bonus for all quadrant crawlers in future dealings with Changelings — plus the narrator's open taunt that there's no way even Carl can pull it off.
