"Got Dust, Will Travel" is the first mission of the Sons of Samedi story arc in Saints Row 2.
- University drug deal goes bad
- — Stilwater Gazette newspaper headline
Overview[]
Shaundi informs Playa on Loa Dust, a new drug that the Sons of Samedi have been producing very cheaply and pushing around the Stilwater University campus. Playa heads there to kill some dealers and steal their Loa Dust in the hopes that the 3rd Street Saints can make it, sell it for cheaper, and steal the Sons of Samedi's market.[1]
Playa successfully manages to steal three samples of Loa Dust, as well as chasing down and killing Mark Gabby, a highly successful dealer who brought in a lot of money for the Sons of Samedi.
Inside a Sons of Samedi Hounfor, The General and Mr. Sunshine talk with Veteran Child about the lack of income that day. Veteran Child informs The General that he could not get in touch with a few of his dealers, but assures them both that it's no problem and that he has a hold of the situation.[2]
Story[]
Upon completion of the Mission, this description is available at Newspaper Clipboards.
Gameplay[]
- Drive to the University
First head to the University.
- Kill the dealers
Head to the marked observatory and parking lot and kill the group of dealers at each location.
- Get a sample of what they're selling
- Pick up the Loa Dust
The last dealer drops some Loa Dust which must be picked up before going to the next location.
- Grab the next package from the dealers hanging out in the parking lot
- Grab the next package from the dealers hanging out near the observatory
Head to the other location
- Pick up the Loa Dust
The last dealer drops some Loa Dust which must be picked up before going to the next location.
- Find Mr. Gabby
After picking up two stashes, Shaundi calls on the Cellphone and advises Playa about Mark Gabby.
- Kill Mr. Gabby
After the call ends, it may take a few seconds for the Map to find him and draw up a GPS route towards him. Either shoot his vehicle (a Wellington) until it explodes or pull up in front of the vehicle and kill the driver, forcing the other occupants of the vehicle out.
- Pick up the Loa Dust
If the vehicle is destroyed, the Loa Dust often drops underneath the wreckage of the vehicle, so either use explosives or ram the vehicle out of the way to pick the final stash up.
If Gabby is not killed, he arrives to a location south of University Loft and get out of his vehicle along with other 2 Samedi members and can be killed on foot or run over.
- Meet Shaundi
Once Gabby is dead, simply drive to the marked location to finish the mission.

Trivia[]
The Stilwater Gazette newspaper clipping from the completion screen and Newspaper Clipboard
- This is the only mission in which the character Mark Gabby appears. Gabby is the only named minor character that only appears in one mission in Saints Row 2 and also the only member of The Sons of Samedi whose real name is given.
- There is sometimes a delay after the objective changes to "Find Mr. Gabby" for the Map to update the GPS route towards him.
- Should Gabby's Wellington explode and his stash of Loa Dust end up beneath the flaming wreckage of his vehicle, the best strategy is to use another vehicle and ram it into the Wellington, thereby moving it away from the stash so one can get out and pick it up.
- Halberd and Capshaw are always parked on the parking lot dealers' location.
- Mark Gabby and his Wellington spawn at the start of the mission.
- If he is killed before picking up the second sample, the mission is impossible to complete.
- If the Wellington is stolen, Gabby and the 2 Samedi are teleported into it after picking up the second sample.
- If the Wellington is destroyed before picking up second Loa Dust sample, Gabby and 2 other Samedi members stay on foot.
- Papa Shango is a WWF character.
- The mission authors are Mark Gabby and Brad Johnson.

Shaundi: "Exactly."
Playa: "How much stuff we talkin'?"
Shaundi: "I dunno, 3 pounds? Two for science, one for the weekend?"
