Missing Persons

**Missing Persons** was a quest in *Wasteland 3*. It started off the Everest Hotel story arc (still called Stanley Hotel at this point), following Ralphy Parker into the Everest at the behest of Donnelly. The Rangers would wind up navigating a death maze beneath the hotel, learning that Donnelly and Ralphy were looking for a disk for the Machine Commune, and Donnelly tried to con Ralphy into retrieving it, hoping that the maze would kill him and the Rangers would retrieve the disk for him.
