The Origin is not best pleased with you for helping The Imagined contact The Paradigm. He asks you to complete a task to find out if what The Imagined has been saying is correct. To do this, you will have to find a Sensor Backpack and discover if The Paradigm is right about the strange energy fluctuations.

The Sensor Backpack can be found in either of two spots: south of Tilted Towers or near the crossroads east of Tilted Towers.

Equip the Sensor Backpack and quickly make your way to Loot Lake. Try to get there without getting killed, as this will cause you to drop the back pack and you will have to start again. When equipped, the Sensor Backpack will begin to beep.
