Project Discovery treasure hunt
On December 5th YC119 a monument was erected in Lanngisi commemorating the first phase of Project Discovery. Curiously the newly erected monument had an open entosis port.
From this structure starts a hidden treasure hunt for the "Neural Lace 'Blackglass' Net Intrusion 920-40" implant.

Lanngisi
The trail begins at Project Discovery Phase One Monument in Lanngisi next to Lanngisi III - Moon 2 - Sisters of EVE Bureau.

| In YC118, the Sisters of EVE launched the Project Discovery citizen science platform to the capsuleer community through the GalNet.
Beginning on YC118.03.09, Project Discovery's Phase One work was aimed at achieving a comprehensive categorization and analysis of tissue samples acquired from the Drifters since their emergence in early YC117. Led by Professor Emma Lundberg, Chief Scientist for the SOE advanced research division, Project Discovery Phase One was particularly successful in mapping out a comprehensive protein atlas from the Drifter tissue samples collected and analyzed during the term of the project. Project Discovery Phase One came to an end on YC119.07.11, after 16 months of highly successful work. Project Discovery Phase Two is a new Exoplanets Hunting Program and is being operated under the guidance of CONCORD's Chief of Deep Space Research, Professor Michel Mayor. Please query the Phase One Monument's database for records of those capsuleers who were elite research contributors to Project Discovery's tissue analysis work. --- Technical Note: there appears to be an open Entosis Link port on this structure. |
Entosing the structure will give one item per cycle. The item received is random so it can take multiple cycles to get everything you need. To manufacture the final implant one unit of each DNA sample is needed.

Ienakkamon
In Ienakkamon your target is The Solitaire. This Ragnarok-class titan has been sitting here for years and now with help of entosis link you are finally able to shed some light on this mysterious derelict.
After cycling entosis link on the wreck you get either junk like "Garbage" or "Fedo". Eventually, you will get a "Recovered Navigation Telemetry" that will guide you to the next location. you will also occasionally get "Recovered Radioactive Materials" from the wreck.
Tip: You don't need to stay in entosis range. You can just get close to the ship, start entosis and then blast away at 4 km/s. You will get the item even if you are 400 km away when the cycle ends.
| The Solitaire |
|---|
| A ghost ship of enormous proportions, this Ragnarok-class Titan should be at the core of a Minmatar strike force or planetary defense, yet here it floats in silence. Its hull is airtight, yet all useful technology has been meticulously stripped from it, including weapons systems, propulsion, and electronics. There is no trace of its crew, despite all of its escape pods being present. |
| Recovered Radioactive Materials |
|---|
| This mildly radioactive material was recovered from a concealed laboratory compartment with the aid of novel scanning methods and exhibits some unusual properties. It could be useful in a controlled mutagenic process. |
| The navigation telemetry |
|---|
| This recovered data stream is incomplete but appears to be part of a navigation telemetry dataset. Perhaps something can be made of it with a bit of ingenuity.

Geztic
By following the path deciphered earlier you will end up in Geztic. In this system, there is a static DED rated site named "True Immortal" or "Mysterious Shuttle". Warp to it and start entosing the shuttle. Eventually, you will receive "Biomechanical Interface Data" and "Neural Lace 'Blackglass' Net Intrusion 920-40 Blueprint". You can keep entosing it to collect multiple blueprints and interface data.
| Biomechanical Interface Data |
|---|
| This recovered data appears to provide a framework for a novel biomechanical interface involving mutagenic adaptation of disparate sets of genetic data to establish a neural lace using fine control of nanites guided by the user's own genetic structure. |
Neural Lace 'Blackglass' Net Intrusion 920-40
After collecting all the materials you will be able to manufacture a 'Blackglass' implant. The "Neural Lace 'Blackglass' Net Intrusion 920-40" is a unique implant that goes to slot 9. This implant reduces data hacking virus coherence by 40 and at the same time increases the virus strength by 20.
The implant bonus applies only to data analyzers. But the Zeugma and Ligature integrated analyzers receive this bonus even while being used in relic hacking.
To manufacture this implant you need one of each DNA samples from Lanngisi, recovered radioactive materials from Ienakkamon, biomechanical interface data from Geztic, and the blueprint copy from Geztic.
| Neural Lace 'Blackglass' Net Intrusion 920-40 |
|---|
| This biomechanical interface is evidently designed to set up a neural lace in the user's brain using mutated genetic sequences and nanites.
The properties of the resultant neural lace appear to improve intrusion virus strength at the expense of virus longevity making for an aggressive approach to hacking data networks. +20 Virus Strength bonus for Data Analyzers. |
