Mission briefing

The next area you'll be scouting is known to be filled with hazardous, radioactive materials. It used to be a waste dump for the Caldari State, but it also contains no mineral wealth at all so it's not a popular attraction for gold diggers fortunately. I know there is still an acceleration gate inside the area and I want you to make sure it's still functioning and doesn't send you straight into something deadly. It's a dangerous job, but I'm not paying you for garbage hauling now am I. Get to it and report back to me with your findings!

• No enemies
• No Structures
• You warp directly into a cloud. The gate is 60km away, activate it to complete the mission.
• Use a fast ship with an afterburner and a buffer tank (like shield extenders) to get to the gate as fast as possible and before the final wave hits.

Toxic cloud:

• Waves deal all kinds of damage evenly and occur at 5 seconds and every 20 seconds thereafter, for 10 waves.
• Every wave has 4 separate damage types.
• Total unresisted damage starts at about 200 (50 per type) and slightly goes up to about 1400 (350 per type).
• The final wave will be more than 4000 (more than 1000 per type) unresisted damage.
• The solution for the average level 2 mission runner is obviously not to get hit by the final wave.

Mining

There is a very large number of asteroids (91 in total) in the pocket after the Toxic Cloud:

• 30x Plagioclase
• 16x Pyroxeres
• 45x Veldspar

Note that the asteroids will be gone when you complete the mission.
