Mission briefing

<Character>, welcome back. We've been watching. You've done well so far, but this current situation threatens to undermine everything. This Isha character is far smarter than we gave him credit for and I fear he knows even more than he has trusted you with. We are working on something that should remove him from the picture, but for now we have to act quickly; our investigations team and their work must remain secure. The task that lies ahead is a large one, <Character>. We not only need to reposition our people out of Nugoeihuvi's way, but we also need to convince Isha that you have destroyed the facility and everyone in it. After we learned that our location had been compromised, we did a full electronics sweep of the area. The loyalty of the staff working here was never in question, so we knew it had to be electronics surveillance. Sure enough, we found a series of bugs in our surveillance systems. We have not interfered with them in any way so far. Our plan, <Character>, is to have you disable the surveillance only moments before you move everyone out. Immediately after that point, we will trigger the detonation of explosive charges already set in the compromised facility. When Nugoeihuvi notice their surveillance has gone down, they'll suspect one of two things; that you have carried out your task, or that their bugs have been compromised. We want it to be the former, understood? There is much at stake here, <Character>. Your mission must be carried out flawlessly. Please be aware before taking it on, that you will need the ability to hack into hostile Nugoeihuvi surveillance systems. If you cannot hack, find someone who can, or quickly learn the basics yourself. That should be enough. Masks of Authority Altercations between the corporate forces exist on record, but in almost every case they have been small incidents based on misunderstanding, with warning shots the only ordnance released. A notable exception is an incident known as the Ingalles incident, where soldiers belonging to the Wiyrkomi Peace Corps opened fire on a Hyasyoda convoy being escorted by the Hyasyoda's agency, the Corporate Police Force.

This mission has no combat. Your task is to hack an habitation module with a data analyzer and grab the CPF security personnel (15.0 m3). After succesful hack the habitation module will explode after 30 seconds. The explosion damages ships in 10 km range. After a successful hack grab the people from the can, then fly away at least 10 km from the module and wait for the explosion (Mission doesn't complete if you just warp out).

The mission has no defenders. If you lose the CPF security personnel either due to not taking them out before explosion or because you died to the explosion you will fail the epic arc and you will have to wait 3 months before attempting again.

You will need to get the data analyzer yourself. This mission is recommended to be done in exploration frigate with data analyzer and MWD fitted.
