Passive Observation

Immuri Asaka says: "We've been dealing with the same drone corruption described by Xarasier. We’ve managed to contain the contaminated ones inside a deadspace pocket, but that is only a temporary solution. I need you to scout out the situation personally. I’ve been trying to get updates from my colleague in the field, but apparently she is having trouble getting clearance for outside communication. Fly over there and make sure the drones are still adequately contained. If they aren’t, report back to me. Do not enter into any confrontations with the security forces attempting to contain the drones. Am I clear?"
Objective
Scout out the drone hive and report back on friendly vessels - Location: 0.9 Hatakani
Rewards
Base mission reward: 100,000.00 ISK
Bonus reward for completing within 5 hours, and 46 minutes: 100,000 ISK
Notes
Colorful mission note: Battle Scars - The Caldari are very protective of their way of life and tolerate only those foreigners that stick to the rules. Almost any time the Gallente seek to influence events inside the State, the Caldari are swift to label it as nothing less than a violation of their sovereignty. The Caldari paid a huge cost fighting the Federation, losing millions of people between the exodus from Caldari Prime and the war itself.
There's no danger here if you don't shoot at anything. You'll warp to an acceleration gate. Activate the gate, and you'll emerge into the deadspace room at 75 km from the massive Drone Hive. There are also eight rogue drone frigates, but they will not attack if you leave them alone. Fly towards the Drone Hive - the mission objective will be fulfilled when you are about 10 km from it. Return to Asaka's station to complete the mission.
