First of all - it would be nice to have some idea that you need to explore the wastes to advance Velika - maybe a talk or drink message that says she's going out to look for it.
Second - it would be nice if the probe would show up as an icon - at least after you pass it, since auto-movement might skip over it.
Third - should the Paragon scanner sock show the probe at a distance?

But fourth, the actual reason for this item:
She pauses, studying you for any reaction.”Anyway, thanks again for your help, ERROR: COULD NOT FIND ATTRIBUTE "lovesPC" FOR OBJ "pc"

Missing space after "reaction."
Missing parser item.

@Somechuvak thoughts on these?
1) She says "I've managed to narrow down its location to this general area" when you encounter her in the wastes so I don't think it's particularly ambiguous but I've included some dialogue changes in the attached PDF that clarifies things even more.
2) I agree
3) I think paragon scanner makes sense in this case, yes.
I've also deleted stuff from her main doc that didn't make it into the game to avoid confusion. Thank you

"When you encounter her in the wastes" is the operative phrase here. Just interacting with her in the Freezer gives no indication she can be encountered out the in wastes. Either one of her dialogs should indicate that (e.g. "Well, I have to get out to find something in that freezing hellscape") or she should just disappear during the day, giving the player the hint she'd away.

The encounter is supposed to be unexpected just like how your first meeting with her is. But I think having her only spawn in the Freezer from say 1700 to 23:00 is reasonable.
