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 within three jumps.

Blitz: kill all Frigates, rush and hack up to six Ammatar Relics.

Alternative Blitz: lure ships 150 km away, warp to the Ammatar Relics, hack up to six of them and warp out.

Notes:

• You can Bookmark and warp inside the room
• Keep your standing loss to a minimum by avoiding killing any Ammatar Navy Detectives
• Hacking an Ammatar Relics can spawn another Ammatar Relics which must also be hacked
• A maximum of 6 Ammatar Relics can spawn and the Engraved Blood Obsidian Tablet is always dropped by the final one you need to hack
• The Relics drop cargo containers when hacked, containing lore items and the objective item
• Kakoti Rend will briefly appear as a non-hostile NPC when the final relic is hacked
• Destroy Warp Scrambling Frigates if you cannot avoid them, but unlike the previous mission they are easily lured away from the objective
• Complete the hacks in one session. If you leave for a while, they'll reset and will need to be hacked again in the order they spawned in, which can be impossible to keep track of if you don't bookmark and number them.

Mission Completion Dialogue
I can't believe what you found among those ruins. This is a historian's dream come true. Now that we've got the Blood Obsidian Orb and the Blood Obsidian Tablet, I think we finally solve this mystery. We're very close to uncovering the secrets of the Wildfire Khumaak. By the way: Did you notice anything strange there? I could have sworn I saw an RSS ship flying about those ruins. Weird.
