Find the Deserter

I get the feeling that all the pieces are here, but I just can't put them together in a way that makes sense.$B$BI think our best lead is to attempt to locate this deserter. If he left his comrades at the camp, there's a chance you might be able to persuade him to help us understand what the dark conclave arakkoa are planning.$B$BStart your search for him along the road in Magma Fields to the northwest. It seems a likely place for him to take refuge.
