The first step is the most difficult

Exploration Stage: Polar Quarter
From: Cardsharp
Description: Agent Dipp does not scare easily. It's hard to see his heart broken, isn't it? Dip was awarded a medal the first time his investigation was successful, wasn't he? Come to think of it, I think that medal was pure gold... can you help me find that medal?
Completed: What an attractive golden medal. The agent has done a worthy job of receiving it. Alas, I am too cautious to accept such an award. Please help Martha break the curse of the dip.
