Ah, this must be what all those fundraising buckets they're selling are for. They certainly managed to get a lot of crates with them.

You've earned 4 XP in Perception
or, if someone has put eclipse in the crates?
You search through the crate. Ah, here we go, mixed in with the polysteel. Damn that's a lot of Eclipse.

You found: 16-18 tablets of Eclipse
You've earned 3 XP in Perception
