 * 4) * IT APPEARS THIS ZONE HAS BEEN FIXED. This message is kept for now, in case some people are still having problems. (This zone is currently buggy. After you repair the Hackbot and get the codes in the room with Meldrath, the consoles often do not respond to let you enter the codes. If this happens, leave the zone. Then hit alt-z and reset the zone. You can then immediately re-enter. Unless you made extras before, you will have to make more of the EMBs and use them to get back to the room again.)
 * 5) Speak to Meldrath the Marvelous at.
 * 6) Harvest the following: (The nodes can be tracked with Track Harvestable but you don't really need it as they can be easily seen on and around all of the big piles of junk. They also respawn quickly. Reminder: the flying bots are not aggro. The standing ones are.)
