Quest Tactics[]
You won't need to focus on Saliva Vials, since they'll pop up anyway while you're battling Kaija; if you've lost track, these monsters can be found entirely within Base Camp and Forward Base (or you can skip FB and battle Ardi-beasts in Mama Tree, if you've done the FB quest unlocking them!) Note that this dovetails well with the quest Base Camp Clearing Duty, if you haven't finished it yet.
Lore[]
I shouldn't be surprised that the Curator has a few more quests for me; this is the season of Hope after all, and I'm sure they are hoping to get everything in order. Deep in the forest are some creatures I need to take notes on and several items that I need to collect. Shouldn't take too long to finish.
