Mission briefing

I'm still going to need some more time with the Blood Obsidian Orb, but I have managed to glean some information from it. My theory is that the orb acts as a protective case for something hidden inside of it. I'd hate to break open a priceless relic of the past, and I'm trying to avoid that situation as much as possible. Something was written on the orb as well, and I want you to go find what it is. There's a tablet that goes along with the orb and supposedly tells more about its purpose. The Church of the Obsidian did not have this tablet, as far as I can tell, but I was able to decipher a code on the orb that told of the tablet's location: the ruins of an old Ammatar church. The church is an ancient place, and a prime spot for archaeology. Use that analyzer I gave you for the Church of the Obsidian. I expect there to be a lot of stuff to gather among those ruins. Bring back whatever you can, but I'm especially looking for the Blood Obsidian Tablet. When you come back, I expect that I can crack this thing wide open…figuratively speaking, of course.

Ungated semi-deadspace pocket three jump away in Zaid. You can warp around freely.

Blitz: kill all Frigates and rush to the Ammatar Relics. Alternatively, lure ships away, warp to the Ammatar Relics, hack them until you loot the Engraved Blood Obsidian Tablet and warp out.

Notes:

• Warp in is 50KM from the Ammatar Relics
• Killing ships incurs a Standing loss with Ammatar
• Hacking an Ammatar Relics can spawn another Ammatar Relics which must also be hacked
• The maximum amount of Ammatar Relics is 6 and the Engraved Blood Obsidian Tablet is always in the final one you need to hack
• Destroy Warp Scrambling Frigates if you you cannot avoid them
