As soon as you arrive, your instruments detect a large group of ships departing. Further analysis of the data indicates this was a convoy of six to eight transport ships from the Salvation Angels accompanied by an unknown number of combat vessels. Your navigational systems have already come up with a likely destination in case you feel you have any business with them.
Angel Kickbacks is an expedition that escalates from Serpentis Lookout.
Walkthrough
The three first locations are usually in high security space while the last location is usually in low security space but this can vary.
Part #1
On warp-in kill Shadow Serpentis Commander Frigate if present, then proceed into second pocket.
Warpin
WD
EWAR
L
0-4 x Frigate Coreli Patroller/Watchman
0-4 x Frigate Coreli Defender/...
3 x Destroyer Corelior Infantry/...
0-1 x Commander Frigate Shadow Serpentis Agent/...
Pocket #2
Simple warp-in to the pocket for possible escalation.
Escalation message
Not much here, except this empty warehouse. Perhaps the next location will reveal something more...
Escalation end message
Nothing much here, except these empty warehouses. While flying here, your navigational systems have mulled over the other locations included in the report and reached the conclusion they are actually not coordinates, but encrypted dates. Who knows what purpose this document really had? In any case, you have no more steps to follow and no clue as to how to find them.
Part #2
On warp-in kill Shadow Serpentis Commander Frigate if present, then proceed into second pocket.
Warpin
WD
EWAR
L
4 x Frigate Coreli Defender/...
5-6 x Destroyer Corelior Artillery/...
0-1 x Commander Frigate Shadow Serpentis Patroller/...
Pocket #2
Probably simple warp-in to the pocket for possible escalation as in all previous locations.
WD
EWAR
L
4 x Frigate Coreli Initiate/...
1-2 x Destroyer Corelior Artillery/...
1 x Cruiser Corelum Chief Scout/...
Escalation message
Again, a similar setup and this time you caught some bad guys in the act. Not that stealing from the Serpentis is necessarily "bad". Now if you only would find one of these hideouts where the Angels still store some booty. Perhaps the next location will lead you to something more interesting.
Part #3
WARNING: If using a frigate or destroyer, USE EXTREME CAUTION. The rats spawn at 0 on the warpin and can easily take out any small ship not prepared for them.
On warp-in kill Shadow Serpentis Commander Frigate if present, then proceed into second pocket.
Warpin
WD
EWAR
L
3-4 x Frigate Coreli Guard/...
2-3 x Elite Frigate Coreli Guardian Guard/...
4-6 x Destroyer Corelior Infantry/Sentinel/...
0-1 x Commander Frigate Shadow Serpentis Patroller/Guard/Safeguard/...
Pocket #2
WD
EWAR
L
5 x Frigate Coreli Guardian/...
2 x Destroyer Corelior Infantry/...
Escalation message
It's another hidden warehouse and this time a stiffer resistance. There is one location left and it should get interesting. Your computer grabs your attention, indicating that the route to the last location has been calculated.
Part #4 (low-sec)
Pocket #1
WD
EWAR
L
Group #1
3 x Frigate Coreli Guardian Initiate/Scout
3 x Destroyer Corelior Soldier/Trooper
Group #2
3-4 x Frigate Coreli Defender
Pocket #2

Group #1 (aggro on warp-in)
4 x Frigate Coreli Patroller/Watchman
1 x Overseer Frigate Shadow Coreli Antagonist
Group #2
3 x Frigate Coreli Defender/...
1-2 x Frigate Coreli Guardian Patroller
1 x Cruiser Corelum Chief Patroller/Watchman
End of expedition
The ethics involved in robbing this hapless band of Angels are are interesting. Robbing from thieves who stole from drug dealers who sold their drugs to people who robbed someone to afford them...You wonder how long it has been since the valuables in your cargo hold were in honest hands.
