How to Find the Virus Carrier in Forever Skies

The quest in your To-Do List will require you to “Examine the virus carrier”.
At this point, you will need to find the virus carrier but without any clear indication of where to find it.
To find the Virus Carrier in Forever Skies, players will need to harvest the back of the dead mantis and pick up the Mantis Gland from there. This will allow you to progress the mission and complete the quest.
Keep in mind that there are two Mantis Glands that you’ll need to pick up at the back of the dead mantis.
Then, go back to your base and scan the Mantis Glants that you just picked up at your Virus Scanner.
Also, remember that Forever Skies is in early access mode and the story isn’t fully finished. This is one of the final missions currently in the game.
