The Rewards of Devotion is an expedition from the Blood Vigil Unrated Complex, which can be found at a Cosmic Signature via exploration.

The expedition has a chance to trigger upon the destruction of the Corpus Station Manager, a Dark Blood Cruiser Commander found in the Blood Vigil.

Expedition trigger message:
Among the information your scanners pick out of the badly damaged station manager ship are logs containing a conversation indicating that the manager himself had an RR hideout not far away where he spent his free time doing whatever perverted things Blood Raider hotshots do when they are on a vacation.

Escalation trigger message:

The janitor of this tiny pleasure dome is an old sickly man, who seems quite pleased to see his former employer's real-estate been blown apart. Among the things he tells you is that he was a slave captured by the Blood Raiders years ago and what saved his life was that his blood was useless to them as he had contracted some nasty VD during his teenage years while he worked as a page at the interregional trade council in Jita. He can also inform you about the location to a small hideaway, similar to this one, where he once served as a janitor, until his old master lost him in a game of craps to the station manager, for whom he has worked ever since.

Escalation message:

While blasting the station, your instruments picked up transmissions in connection with its security system, which apparently was communicating with some central security station. You have the feeling that sticking around for too long is not a very good idea, as it is pretty certain that a security detail has already been dispatched to take care of whoever is vandalizing the executive pleasure huts in the area, i.e. you. But if the security detail is coming your way, it means they are not at their base, so... you quickly hit some buttons and in a few seconds you have the location of what presumably is the security station flashing on your navigation panel.

Escalation message:

Hastily you scan through what is left of the security station's logs and databanks. Most have been totally wasted during your attack, but it seems that a list of time schedules and locations you find contain some of the station's clients, at least two of the locations are identical to the ones the two pleasure casas you previously made a short story of were located at. The list contains one more site...
