Mission briefing

This Katsen Isha…he needs to be brought down, but we have to be exceptionally careful about how we do this. Dealing with Nugoeihuvi requires cunning and guile. You've shown sound judgment by coming to us early, Hirmuolio Pine, but it will only get worse if you leave things as they are now. We need answers to the questions you've brought to light. Can we count on you to earn Isha's trust, so you can uncover whatever you need to help us? We need someone on the inside if we're ever going to see this resolved; Nugoeihuvi are too well-trained at covering up their tracks. If you could be there, making the sale of the formulas yourself, we would undoubtedly learn a great deal. If you're willing to take this on, then we will be there to assist you every step of the way. I've been authorized to grant you provisional support from one of our best counter-intelligence teams. They would observe your actions from a distance and monitor any relevant data from your fluid router cache. Anything Isha said to you over FTL, we would have. Anything your camera drones saw, we would see. You would have to keep your assignment strictly confidential, even from other Hyasyoda members. Nobody could know. Not your lover, not your mother, not even the Maker. If we need you again, we'll find a way to get in touch, but until that time you would only have to concern yourself with earning Isha's trust and acting as if this conversation never happened. Do we have a deal? Masks of Authority Internal Security, the Nugoeihuvi Corporation's force, poses a curious irony in this regard. Though the Nugoeihuvi conglomerate's main preoccupation is the entertainment industry, they have consistently failed to change the prevalent cultural image of their troops as a pack of rough-and-tumble thugs culled from the Caldari underworld, given to the grossest abuses and atrocities. It's very rare for elements of the Caldari State to find the rumor mill outgrinding them in their efforts at propaganda, but that's what's happening to Nugoeihuvi. (In reality, for the record, Nugoeihuvi's soldiers are not any more or less savage than those of the other corporate forces, though broadly speaking they have been noted to harbor a slightly greater proclivity toward drink and drugs.)

Arikio Kuretsu sends you back to Poinen, where you then get 'Re-examining Options', see Mission 4 'The Paths That Are Hidden' for details. This also unlocks the Hyasyoda story arc branch after you complete either one. (Don’t forget to take the S.I Formula Sheet)
