Mission briefing

I'm still going to need some more time with the Blood Obsidian Orb, but I have managed to glean some information from it. My theory is that the orb acts as a protective case for something hidden inside of it. I'd hate to break open a priceless relic of the past, and I'm trying to avoid that situation as much as possible. Something was written on the orb as well, and I want you to go find what it is. There's a tablet that goes along with the orb and supposedly tells more about its purpose. The Church of the Obsidian did not have this tablet, as far as I can tell, but I was able to decipher a code on the orb that told of the tablet's location: the ruins of an old Ammatar church. The church is an ancient place, and a prime spot for archaeology. Use that analyzer I gave you for the Church of the Obsidian. I expect there to be a lot of stuff to gather among those ruins. Bring back whatever you can, but I'm especially looking for the Blood Obsidian Tablet. When you come back, I expect that I can crack this thing wide open…figuratively speaking, of course.

Go to Zaid three jumps away.

Blitz: kill all Frigates and rush to the Ammatar Relics. Alternatively, lure ships away, turn around and approach enemy at 45 degrees; at the enemy fleet midpoint, use the Micro Jump Drive towards the Ammatar Relics, hack them until you loot the Engraved Blood Obsidian Tablet and warp out.

Notes:

• Warp in is 50KM from the Ammatar Relics
• Killing Ammatar ships incurs a Standing loss with Amarr not with Ammatar
• Hacking an Ammatar Relics can spawn another Ammatar Relics which must also be hacked
• The maximum amount of Ammatar Relics is 6 and the Engraved Blood Obsidian Tablet is always in the final one
• You cannot warp inside the pocket
• Destroy Warp Scrambling Frigates if you you cannot avoid them
