Mission briefing

Alright, we've talked it out and I was right. You're going in there. The RSS almost threatened to have you killed for attempting it, but with the accusations being leveled at them right now they're just gonna have to get over it. We needed someone independent, not tied to any one faction, and who we knew we could trust. You were the obvious answer; I didn't even have to suggest it. The RSS has given us the location of the compound where this agent was doing his work. Your task will be to fly to Alakgur and investigate it. We're looking for anything that would give us further insight into why he was visiting the Defiants. All they could tell us was that he expressed an interest in examining the Khumaak and then suddenly showed up. The Angels followed shortly after. It's a politically delicate assignment <Character>, but a pretty easy one from your end. Just fly in there, have a poke around, and bring back anything you think may be relevant to our investigations. I'll be plugged into your camera drones for this one, along with the rest of the RSS, heh. We'll tell you what to look for too, if we see anything in there. Sorry about the invasive measures, but it was either that or a 500m ISK collateral to the RSS. You down for this?

The Republic Security Services

Perhaps less is known about the Republic Security Services than any other national intelligence agency in the universe of New Eden. Their numbers, their spheres of operation, the scope of their involvement in affairs national and international: all these things are hidden in a fog of silence and misdirection. In the absence of concrete recorded information, the only detectable pattern is composed of reports from those few times the agency has revealed itself. Pieced together, a picture begins to emerge: grim, humorless, determined and fierce, these men and women stalk the underworld and mingle with its demons so their brethren may live in the sunshine.

Mission Completion Dialogue

Excellent work out there, <Character>. We're making copies of the data you recovered now. It looks like we'll have more than enough here to work from. From first impressions, it looks like this RSS agent was working almost entirely alone on some operation involving a highly-placed Ammatar defector and the Wildfire Khumaak. The RSS people here with me are claiming they've never heard of this matter before. I'm seeing reports here to suggest that this Ammatar “sister” was a source for historical information on the Wildfire. I don't like the name of that RSS operation though, <Character>. Stillwater? That's basically the opposite of “Wildfire”. We should be careful not to trust the RSS too much on this one, I think. In fact, I have an idea. I'll speak with you again after I've made a few arrangements with the RSS.
