Dude's Quest - I think I screwed up

[ChaunceyK]

Gonna try to keep this spoiler-free....

I went exploring before getting Dude's Quest and I actually found the area to complete it.  Now that Dude has officially given me the quest, I went to the area and it shows the containers to be empty.  But I don't have the item on me, and since I didn't know it was a "plot" item when I first found it, I can't figure out if I might have sold it or dropped it somewhere while overencumbered (thinking "oh, this item can't be important").

Does UR definitely list it as a Plot item?  If it does, then I shouldn't have been able to drop it or sell it by mistake, right?  And if I did sell it or drop it, will it still be wherever I sold/dropped it?

Any help is appreciated, thank you!

Well, I found 1/2 of them on one of the locals, so obviously I bartered and sold some of them.  Is there anyplace specific where I could find more?

[ChaunceyK]

Ah, yeah....found the rest in my locker back at my private quarters.  I'm such a hoarder.  But what can I say?  I was raised on Sierra adventure games, where you could fit a minivan in your pocket.

According to ancient logs in the past it caused hollow earth incident, and other terrible stuff...

20 mushroom brews, yeah. This is my first play through, and he's so whacked out on a regular basis, I'm kinda waiting to find his body later in the game, dead from an overdose.

I wouldn't be so sure about that. The Dude has seen things. The Dude knows.

But most importantly, the Dude abides.

(But seriously, you should take a second look at his dialogue. A lot of it actually makes sense, especially if you're part of a certain organization and have friends in deep places.)
