Mission briefing

Ah, <player>, I'm glad to see you received my mail. I have something that requires complete discretion. It's entirely legal of course, but this will need to be kept quiet all the same. You've proven yourself trustworthy, so if you want the assignment I'll hand it over to you. During a routine system scan, some of my people stumbled upon something that may be a significant archaeological find. I can't just call in anyone to confirm it, though, that would risk a leak. I don't want anyone else claiming this discovery as their own, especially if it turns out to be a lucrative one. What we could do is rig your vessel's camera drones to relay a live feed of the site back to me and a friend of mine at the House of Records. From there, my friend would be able to direct you around the area to observe places of interest. What you relay back could help us confirm or disprove our earlier findings. The site is in Sarekuwa, so you wouldn't be travelling very far to investigate, either. Our scouts reported there was a light pirate presence, and interference was making the use of microwarpdrives impossible in there, but I'm sure you can deal with a few Guristas and using afterburner. Not the usual assignment I know, but one of potentially great importance...and profit. It would be ideal if we could rely on capsuleer assistance for this. What do you say?

This is the area. Interesting. I can see there are ten different outposts. I'm not sure how to guide you, save for perhaps getting closer to the stations, starting with the ones whose names you might recognize.

• No hostiles.
• 10 stations arranged in a pattern, all roughly 35-40km from warp in.
• At about 10km from each station, you get another communication of whether there is anything of interest

• Upon finding the correct station...
