|Excellent. The famed Dr. Lamia Calus is one of our top nanite research specialists. She has entered a requisition for 47 units of Green Arisite for her research. If you can procure this substantial quantity of mineral, I'm sure you'll be adequately rewarded. The sooner, the better.

{{MissionBriefing
|You might remember the preeminent scientist, Dr. Lamia Calus, from your previous mission. Her mentor was the famous particle physicist and AI specialist, Professor Kajurei Delainen. Perhaps you've heard of Delainen's "Seven Pillars of Artificial Intelligence"? No? Well, no matter.
A number of years of ago, Delainen disappeared. He was supposed to report to his laboratory at the appointed time, but he simply never appeared. His living quarters were cleared out and his bank accounts emptied and closed. Yet no evidence of criminal wrongdoing was ever found. In such a vast universe, it can be easy for a person to disappear.
In any case, evidence has just surfaced that he in fact still lives ... and in this very system! Now Dr. Calus has reached a critical stage in her research, and Delainen was once the galaxy's foremost expert on both quantum particle physics and artificial intelligence. He claimed that the two fields were more closely related than anyone realized. His expertise would be invaluable to our current research.
Your mission is to bring him back here. One hitch, though: It is very possible that he will not come willingly. Don't take no for an answer.

|Well, Dr. Calus is not ready to reveal the nature of her project, but rest assured that it will be huge. However, the good doctors require some critical datacores to help them put their ideas into physical form. Sometimes scientific ideas race ahead of one's ability to fabricate the results effectively.


====The Unveiling (4 of 7)====
We need you to go pick up a unique Mechanical Engineering datacore put together for the project by one of Dr. Calus's colleagues not far from here and bring it back as soon as possible. You will be rewarded, of course, as usual.

|Well, that thing is gone, so the station is safe for now. The breached districts have been sealed off until repair crews can get in there. But I suppose you're wondering what happened. Let me back up for a moment.


**Tips**: I recommend an adaptive and a thermal hardener, I took ''much'' less damage than with an adaptive/explosive. Never dropped below 75% shields. (with the explo I got down to 25%)<br>
Dr. Calus's original goal was to create a ship energy system that used advanced nanites to harvest the energy that binds subatomic particles together. The amount of energy that could be produced would be staggering. Think of it. The offensive potential of our ships and weapons systems could be increased a hundred-fold at least, maybe a thousand-fold.  
Don't shoot the turrets, they do barely any damage and will spawn additional waves.


===Single Pocket===
But somehow Delainen subverted Calus's research. He spent years living in close proximity to a nest of rogue drones; he even claimed to have struck up a beneficial relationship with them. Who knows what that does to a person?


Warp In:<br>
They inserted the nanites, programmed by Prof. Delainen, into the battlecruiser's systems, but the things immediately began to malfunction. In less than ten minutes, they had changed the structure of the ship to … something else. The security 'reels show a flash of light, almost like a jump gate activation, and then Delainen just disappears. Then, immediately, the metallic beast begins to move. We have heard of massive rogue drones, but this is different.  
3x Drone Light Missile Battery<br>
1x Drone Battleship (Supreme Alvus Parasite "Delainen-ROM Symbiote"), which drops mission loot.<br>


Wave 1:<br>
The ship actually spoke to Calus, who was injured during the ship's violent transformation. It said its name was "ROM." Then it blew a hole through the wall of the station into open space and blasted out of there. Everyone in the lab was killed, including Calus.
(Spawns almost immediately)
2x Drone Battlecruiser (Enforcer Alvatis)<br>
2x Drone Cruiser (Strain Viral Infector Alvum)<br>
10x Drone Frigate (Splinter Alvi/Render Alvi/Infester Alvi)<br>


Wave 2:<br>
We believe that the nanites somehow merged Delainen into the ship they had created, making it some sort of bizarre biomechanical symbiote. But we need to know what happened for certain, and this ― well, this Delainen-ROM symbiote, I guess, for lack of a better name ― is the only thing that can give us the answers.
(When the Drone Battleship's shields drop)
2x Drone Cruisers (Annihilator Alvum)<br>
2x Drone Destroyers (Shredder Alvior)<br>
2x Drone Elite Frigates (Strain Sunder Alvi)<br>


Wave 3:<br>
We want you to go out there and confront it; we've tracked its location, and it's still in this system. I'll send the coordinates to your NeoCom. Destroy it if you must, and then sift through the wreckage to find its central AI core. Bring that back for further study.

- If you shoot the Drone Bunker right away, you get lots of drone spawns in short succession (new spawn every 3-5seconds). In total there were about 30-45 drones and I had to warp out once at the beginning.<br>

|Yes, I did. The good Dr. Calus ― whose value to us necessitates our keeping a clone in place for her ― is studying the Delainen-ROM's AI "brain" as we speak. But there's something else we'd like you to do.


Wave 5:<br>
Delainen apparently formed some sort of bond or relationship with the rogue drone colony near his previous home. But it's worse than that. Even now there are ongoing subspace transmissions taking place between these drones and the AI unit you recovered ― the thing's intelligence core is most certainly not dead.

Wave 6:<br>
The drones have moved around several times, but they're remaining near, for whatever reason. Go to the <System> system and destroy that rogue drone colony once and for all. The hive mind CPU and construction center is in the central hive structure. That is your target. Once the drones there are all destroyed, salvage the hive mind CPU and return it to us.

4x Drone Cruiser (Annihilator Alvum)<br>
1x Drone Elite Frigate (Strain Splinter Alvi) '''Warp Scrambler'''<br>


Wave 7:<br>
Energy Neutralizers combine for -15gj/s and have a range in excess of 120Km. Web towers have a range of about 30km. If you are active tanked focus down the neutralizers first.
(When the BS reaches about 50% structure)
2x Drone Battlecruiser (Enforcer Alvatis)<br>
2x Drone Cruiser (Disintegrator Alvum)<br>


After few minutes, the Battleship Drone will spawn (Alvus Ruler, Supreme Alvus Parasite, possibly others). It has high damage, even at 50km, so be careful. As you shoot the BS, another group of drones (Wave 7) will spawn.
'''Blitz:'''
* Kill Group 2 to trigger Wave 1. Kill the battleship, loot the can, warp out.


'''Blitz:'''<br>
=== Warp-in ===
Go in passive tanked, ignore all sentries and neut towers. While waiting for the BS, kill off the first spawn. Wait for the BS to come out of the range of the stasis towers (you won't have cap to tractor the loot can), then go for it, pick up the can, finito.
Mission objective is contained in the cargo container created on destruction of Wave 1 Drone Battleship.


'''Alternative Blitz:'''<br>
{{NPCTableHead}}
Go in passive tanked, but kill the Stasis Towers early. There's plenty of time to take care of the triggered Strain spawn before the BS drone with the mission loot spawns, and this way you can attack it earlier (while still closer to the structures).

- Smartbombs are a good idea again.<br>
{{NPCTableRow|Frigate|1|Render/Sunder Alvi|trigger= Wave 1}}
- Stay out of the range of the stasis towers.<br>
- It is best to go for passive tanking and take the towers one by one (starting with the energy neutralizers). Destroy each spawn before continuing to the next tower.<br>
- If you are active tanked, then: primary the energy neutralizers, kill each spawn as it arrives and before proceeding to the next tower. Primary Strain drones (scramblers), and then the Violator Drones as they do the most damage.<br><br>

|We've completed Dr. Calus's study of the Delainen-ROM symbiote's AI core and the CPU you got for us. They're like nothing we've ever seen before. A strange combination of human thought patterns, atomic-scale nanites, and constantly evolving neural networks. And the thing wouldn't stop telling bad jokes! But if those nanites were ever loosed, they could easily latch onto the nearest ship and reconstitute themselves. Er, itself. Well, whatever. We just can't risk that happening … again. Which is why it's too dangerous to study further ― the chance of a breakout is just too high.


Wave 3:<br>
But it's also too valuable to destroy. We have placed the items in a special cryogenic container for temporary cold storage. The closest station with an adequate facility for long-term cryogenic storage is in <Station>, though. Please take the container over there for safekeeping.

{{MissionBriefing
|Yes. Very astute, <Pilot>. Do you recall that green goo in your cargohold a while back, when you returned with the drone AI core? That material was far more dangerous – and far more cunning – than we first realized. The nanites in the symbiote's AI core were the size of molecules, with atomic-scale manipulator arms. And because they are so small, they are practically undetectable. A billion of them could hide in the crevices of a speck of dust.
 
Are you frightened yet? You should be. Because they are loose.
 
Those nanites – perhaps even the self-same ones from your cargohold – somehow made their way onto a battleship called ''Solar Cinder'', which blasted out of its hangar, with no crew, just a few minutes ago. We don't know what to call this thing now, but it is sentient, and shows many similarities to the Delainen-ROM symbiote. But this is a battleship. An uncontrolled battleship with human-patterned AI ... and capable of ''self-replication''! Given time, it could lay waste to an entire planet!
 
We need you to get out there and destroy it! The military is on the way, but they will not be here in force before it has time to escape, if that's what it intends.

'''Tip:'''<br><br>
== Notes ==
- Kill any drones that target you, and then the BS.<br>
<references group=Note />
- New drone spawns don't always aggro, and can be ignored.<br>


'''Blitz:'''<br>
{{Missionrelated}}
Go straight for the BS, ignore everything else. DPS is a bit heavier than in Part 5.
