Mission briefing

Normally, the local security forces would want to handle this drone threat themselves, but we're willing to contract the job out to a capsuleer. You'll have to go in alone while our fleet holds the line. I suggest you take some friends into the fight. The drones have been growing in number as more are corrupted and somehow find their way to the swarm. Once you neutralize the threat, you should search the wreckage for something that will help with your investigation.

Objective
Neutralize every drone inside the quarantine area - Location: 0.9 Hatakani

Notes
This is a straightforward kill mission. There are 12 frigate and three destroyer rogue drones attacking you in this mission, however, and you can get overwhelmed if your combat skills are undeveloped. Fit an afterburner on your ship, and be ready to use a kiting strategy - that is, set your "keep at range" combat control to your optimal weapon range, then turn on your afterburner and use that to keep at your optimal distance from each target, starting with the closest targets first. That will maximize your damage while keeping the drones at a safer distance. Remember: if you start to get overwhelmed, warp out - you can always warp back in after some repairs.

You'll warp to an acceleration gate. Once in the deadspace room, you'll find yourself at about 100 km from 7 x Mammon Apis frigates, 3 x Belphegor Apis frigates and 5 x Infestor Alvi rogue drone destroyers. When you approach, they will all target you at 65 km, and close to attack.

After you destroy all the targets, Agent Asaka will say: "Nice flying pilot. That’s the last of the drones taken care of. Feel free to inspect the wreckage if you like but I just received an official transmission for you from the Sisters of Eve. Looks like they’ve got a new lead for you to chase up anyways." Return to Asaka's station to turn in the mission.
