Mission briefing
Have you heard those crazy sermons that people are talking about? The ones delivered by this self-proclaimed “prophet” who calls himself Tolmak? Yeah, that freak who's trying to create a religion. He's got a lot of converts among the discontents of our little corner of the universe. But he's also got a lot of enemies, people who don't like what he's been spewing. People who might try to kill him. Thing is, certain powerful people find him useful. A nice distraction from more political pursuits. They'd like him alive.

One of his acolytes set up shop in our little corner of the universe and began preaching to the locals. This “priest” is not exactly causing trouble, but he's making certain powerful people uncomfortable. Not only that, but we've heard reports of violence against this cult in other sectors. We'd like to quietly remove this man from the picture and avoid any possibility for backlash in our own areas. At the same time, we don't want to make a martyr out of him and build further support for this cult. The situation needs to be handled discreetly.

He's currently preaching on Yunshin Z, a refining complex. This is a low population industrial center with little contact to the outside world. We can afford to make bold moves here. Your task is to find this preacher and return him to us. We'll handle the rest.

The Prophet of the Seventh Sphere
Religious freaks like to spread all sorts of apocalyptic messages, and in recent times there are few who have captured the imagination of conspiracy theorists in the way that Tolmak has. The so-called “Prophet of the Seventh Sphere,” Tolmak is an enigmatic and elusive character. He has never shown himself publicly for fear of reprisal, and relies instead of proxies to spread his word. Others say his real strength comes from the media outlets that cover these preachers. Outlets that, for their own part, are mostly concerned with the profit to be made from the inevitable controversy his message brings.

Among other things, Tolmak's elaborate revelations paint a universe governed by demonic forces that secretly control the heads of all the empires. He reserves special bile for the capsuleer class, teaching that their clones are not actually the same person reborn, but are instead, demonic simulacra.

The damage output is significant. Good tank recommended.
No faction standings penalty for destroying the enemies. No bounties for destroying ships.

Blitz: Kill all enemies of wave 1 in the first pocket. Ignore NPCs in the second pocket, grab the preacher from the Preacher's Quarters (container), and warp out.

Pocket 1

The pocket starts off empty. After a few seconds, 8 enemy cruisers spawn, but two of them are scripted to blow up when the friendly cruisers arrive. The friendly cruisers simply stay in the pocket and do not engage the enemies.
