===Raw Materials (1 of 7)===
'''Summary:'''
* All gates in the missions are unlocked.
* Several missions have pairs of Energy Neutralizer Towers that do 5gj/s each.
* Damage can get quite high for a level 3 in later stages, especially if blitzing.

|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.

I did the right approach - NPCs aggro on proximity, about 15 km.</ref>.

'''Tips:'''<br>
{{NPCTableHead|Reinforcement 2-2B (On Reinforcement 2-1 Cruiser Destruction)}}
- The 3 Merc Miners will disappear after a certain time so if you want to kill them, target them first. They drop drugs when killed. Attacking the Miners spawns the 2nd wave of ships.<br>
{{NPCTableRow|Frigate|4|Mercenary Fighter}}
- The 5th and 6th waves of ships may not spawn (all missions are slightly randomised).<br>
{{NPCTableRow|Cruiser|2|Mercenary Commander}}
- There are also approx 16433 units of Omber, 591937 units of Veldspar and 1995 units of Gneiss to be mined.<br>
|}
- To find the Green Arisite, add Gneiss to your overview.<br>
- IT is possible to get hauler spawns that drop 40k Pyerite or the like<br>

{{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.  


===Mad Scientist (2 of 7)===
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.


Faction: Rogue Drones<br>
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.
Mission Type: Encounter<br>
Space Type: Deadspace<br>
Damage dealt: All kinds (29% Expl, 24% Kin/Therm, 22% EM)<br>
Recommended Damage Dealing: EM<br>
Extras: '''Neutralizer Towers** and **Stasis Towers'''<br>
Warp/Scramble: Strain Drones<br>
Recommended ships: Passive tanked Battlecruiser or HAC<br>


Warp In:<br>
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.
All will spawn almost immediately after you warp in. The Raiders/Sunders orbit at 2-4km. There are only few drone cruisers, so it is not a heavy pocket. Destroy the 2 bunkers to stop more respawning.
}}


12x Drone Frigates (Sunder Alvi/Raider Alvi)<br>
A passive tanked battlecruiser is a good choice for this mission due to energy neutralizers.


Wave 2:<br>
'''Blitz:'''
2x Drone Cruisers (Bomber Alvum)<br>
* Go straight through gate, blow up Professor Delainen's Lab, and loot the cargo container spawned.
* Destroy Stasis/Energy Neutralizer towers as needed.


Wave 3:<br>
=== Warp-in ===
2x Drone Cruisers (Violator Alvum)<br>
All enemies will aggro immediately. Destroying the two drone bunkers can stop additional reinforcements. Waves 2 and 3 are likely timed.
2x Drone Frigates (Barracuda Alvi)<br>


- An Alvus Mother drone might spawn.<br>
'''WARNING''' There is a chance that an Alvus Controller battleship will spawn after the initial frigate spawn. Frigate Strain Sunder Alvi, which warp disrupt, might spawn as well.

=== 1st Pocket ===
Ignore pocket 1, head straight for the lab in pocket 2. You may prefer to kill the Stasis Towers first.
'''Warning:''' You will be webbed and neuted immediately after warp-in. Make sure you have weapons/drones capable of hitting the towers at about 50 kilometers or you will be stuck while being neuted and fired upon.


====Toward a Solution (3 of 7)====
Neutralizer towers will be capping you for -10GJ/s each, -20GJ/s total. Reinforcements do not always spawn and may be prevented by destroying bunkers at warp-in.

|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.


Wave 2:<br>
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.


Wave 4:<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.
(When the Light Missile Batteries are attacked)
3x Drone Destroyers (Shredder Alvior)<br>
3x Drone Cruisers (Viral Infector Alvum)<br>


Wave 5:<br>
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?
(When a Missile Battery is destroyed)
1x Drone Destroyer (Marauder Alvior)<br>


Wave 6:<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.
(When Wave 4 is destroyed)
3x Drone Cruisers (Viral Infector Alvum)<br>


- 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>
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.  
- Smartbombing works great with many close-range drones.<br>


'''Blitz:'''<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.  
Kill the Battleship and get the Elite Drone AI from the can it drops and take to your agent. Watch out for drone aggro.


====An Unexpected Twist (5 of 7)====
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.

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.

'''Alternative Blitz:'''<br>
== An Unexpected Twist (5 of 7) ==
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).

{{MissionBriefing
|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.  


'''Tip:'''<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.  
- Smartbombs are a good idea again.<br>
- 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>


====Nanite Express (6 of 7)====
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.
}}


Mission type: Courier (50.0m3)<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.

{{NPCTableHead|Wave 5 (On Destroying A Tower Sentry)}}
Go straight for the BS, ignore everything else. DPS is a bit heavier than in Part 5.

{{MissionBriefing
|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.
 
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.
