{{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 <Destination Station>, though. Please take the container over there for safekeeping.}}

Mission can be completed remotely on delivery.

{{MissionBriefing|Yes. Very astute, <player>. 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.}}
