Exploring Belching Betty will reveal the story of a squad of Fire Breathers that died fighting the Scorched at the location. The primary objective of the final exam is to activate an emergency beacon in the northeastern end of the mineshaft. Bernie will detect when it has been activated and will ask the applicant to return to him. It should be noted that upon activation of the beacon, a new wave of scorched will spawn and attack the player(s) until they have left the area. Bernie will give out the Welcome to the Fire Breathers holotape and congratulate the new member, asking them to return to the Charleston Fire Department for company registration.

Registration can be completed on the Fire Breathers' master terminal on the second floor of the Charleston Fire Department. While putting their name into the system, the player character will be alerted of a priority call into the Fire Department. Listening to it will start The Missing Link.
