Note: You'll need to complete the 'Extreme Simplicity' quest beforehand.

The description for A Long Overdue Visit reads:

"Now that I've got the Scanner and the artifact back, I'm relying on Dalin to come through. Hopefully that weird rock is worth something to him. More importantly, I'm about to find out the truth about my home and who's behind it all. I'm sure I'll find the answers at SIRCAA."
