Mission briefing
Welcome back, <Character>. I hope your time has been well spent considering our options.

Hyasyoda seems to have calmed down a little for now, but it's when they get quiet that I actually start to worry. They likely already have something in motion. I'm not interested in seeing if my instincts are right, though. We should shift these formulas as soon as possible.

As I told you before, I've already lined up a buyer for us. All you need to do is move the goods. As I also explained, my associates – that is, the ones with an interest in highly illegal booster manufacture – they're stationed at a somewhat remote NOH office outside of CONCORD jurisdiction, where the Chief Executive Panel finds it difficult to keep a close eye on everything.

Ideally, I would like you to deliver the goods to our facility in KFR-ZE yourself, but I can make arrangements for the staff at KFR to retrieve it from a nearby low-security system if you prefer. That will, of course, reduce your cut of the profits. If you can fly a Covert Ops or an Interceptor, anything like that, then I would recommend you make use of it now. How you proceed in light of this situation is up to you though. All I want is for the sale to be made soon; I don't care how.

Two Steps into Hell >> I'm sure you're aware how dangerous a place Syndicate can be. Serpentis are everywhere, and your fellow capsuleers have earned the region a reputation for constant violence and war. I have mapped a route you could take through Genesis, via Faurulle, that will limit the amount of lawless space you need to traverse. That will make the trip longer, but safer too. I guess that depends on how you feel about the short route and the jump into PF-346 it entails. That one system alone must have claimed millions of souls over the years; it is notoriously dangerous.

Personally, I would advise discretion, and that you limit your risks. I suggest you take something evasive, be that through speed or cloaking, and avoid the busiest systems. I will have an agent on standby in KFR-ZE at a secure Nugoeihuvi facility near our Station offices. I suggest you avoid the station unless there is a need to dock there. The more piratical among your own kind love to corner unaware ships there; we have to deal with the combat on our doorstep all the time.

Playing it Safer >> Our people in KFR-ZE come down to State space via Faurulle at times. This is the quickest route out of Syndicate and often the most desirable one for that very reason. We've lost a few convoys recently, trying to pass through PF-346 along the shortest route to State space. In case you don't know it, <Character>, the PF-346 system has been made notorious by your own kind as something of a deathtrap. I think it is perhaps best for all involved that we take no risks on this one and use the Faurulle drop-off.

This is where you will be taking our formulas. I will have my people on standby at a secure facility in-system. Please, though, do not linger there. There are no stations in system, so anyone noticing you will know that you're out in space and thus an easy target. The very last thing we need is some pirate capsuleer scanning you down in one of our own facilities, and especially not that one.


Traditional Caldari Saying
Cross the river before you laugh at the current.

Choose between:

  • the Null Security path, Two Steps Into Hell
  • the Low Security path, Playing It Safer

Your choice has no lasting impact on the Epic Arc as you've already picked the Hyasyoda path.
