Director Charlotte Becker: Good. ORE has a job that need doing and I only have time for people capable of getting it done. My Rorqual and the main crew have the Phased Asteroid covered. Your job is to clear up the Veldspar floating around. Undercover Elias Peltonnen: [Private Comms] Do as she says, we need these miners to think we're just part of the crew.

Sorry, aren't you worried about getting jumped with all these valuable rocks floating around. Director Charlotte Becker: ORE has Mordu's Legion on speed dial. Mining has always been dangerous, and the greater the risk, the greater the reward. Why? Are you nervous? Undercover Elias Peltonnen: Not anymore.
