Blitz: This mission can be blitzed by bringing Oura Madusaari (kept from a past run of this mission) in your ship's cargo hold, which will allow players to bypass approaching the life pods and proceed immediately to the acceleration gate. Upon entering the second pocket, destroy the silo closest to The Anomaly, obtain Dr. Fajah Ateshi from the dropped cargo container, and return to the agent.
Tip:
- Fitting a Micro Warp Drive or Afterburner is recommended.
- Approaching the other four damaged Pods will also trigger a message and the Pod contains a Stranded Pilot (not needed to complete the mission).
- Using Combat Drones to kill the Debris Silo may kill them. Sentry Drones will take damage but survive.
Pocket 1
There are five Life Pods in this pocket, one of which will spawn a container with Oura Madusaari, who must be in your cargo hold to activate the acceleration gate. The description of the correct life pod (via "Show Info") is different from the others; it reads "A life pod from a long since destroyed ship". The other pods contain Stranded Pilots, which have no use.
Approaching the correct pod will trigger a message and spawn the cargo container with Oura Madusaari. The life pods themselves are actually structures, so they cannot be moved with a tractor beam. Loot the container, then proceed to the acceleration gate. Oura Madusaari is not consumed upon activation of the gate, so she can be brought on subsequent runs to bypass the life pods.

2nd Pocket
The mission objective item, Dr. Fajah Ateshi, can be obtained by destroying the Pressure Silo closest to The Anomaly (an Orca situated in the middle of a non-functional wormhole object) which causes The Paryi to spawn, which spawns a cargo container with him in it (this can be tractor beamed) by flying close to it.
After proceeding ~5km toward The Anomaly, a damaging cloud will periodically deal 5 hits of 200-400 damage each, so it is best to proceed quickly. Though all Pressure Silos can be attacked and destroyed, only the one closest to The Anomaly must be destroyed. Pressure Silos will explode when destroyed, dealing ~800 damage to ships in close proximity. Because of this, it is best to avoid using combat drones to destroy the silos, as they may be destroyed themselves.

Upon accepting the mission, a Neurowave Pattern Scanner will be placed in your hangar. Warp in and place the scanner in the cargo hold of The Anomaly to complete the mission. Remember to take the neurowave pattern scanner with you, the agent throws it into your hangar when you accept the mission. The Anomaly will then warp away.
When approaching The Anomaly, an Amarr Cruise Missile Battery will spawn. It does not need to be destroyed, as approaching further will deactivate it (accompanied by a pop-up message). An afterburner or microwarpdrive can be useful to expedite this part of the mission, and players should also ensure a minimal tank is fitted to survive the damage cloud while depositing the neurowave pattern scanner.

Blitz: Destroy the two BCs in group 2 to "spawn" the acceleration gate. The gate is not locked, but warp scrambling frigates will prevent you from using it. Use an afterburner to make your way to the rogue drone ship and drop Fajah Ateshi into the can which completes the mission, no drones have to be killed.
Pocket 1
Group 1 will auto-aggro on warp-in. Attacking any other group will aggro all other ships present. Destroying the last ship in each group will spawn a wave of reinforcements.
The acceleration gate to the next pocket will become functional once the two battlecruisers (Striker Alvatis) in group 2 are destroyed. Note that the acceleration gate cannot be used while warp-scrambled.

Pocket 2
The Anomaly (an Orca) is 50 km away from the warp-in on a stable (but non-functional) wormhole, while the Rogue Drone ship is few kilometers further away. There are two options for completing this mission, determined by where the player places Dr. Fajah Ateshi:
- Placing Dr. Ateshi inside the Rogue Drone ship completes the mission and leads to the destruction of The Anomaly a few seconds later.
- Placing Dr. Ateshi inside The Anomaly will cause the ship to jump away, with Dr. Ateshi attempting to save the ship's crew.
Reinforcements will spawn upon attacking any frigate that is not capable of webbing/scrambling. They do not auto aggro and have a proximity trigger of about 30km. You can proximity trigger them separately to reduce the number of active hostiles. Unaggroed reinforcements will still shoot drones.
