Mission briefing
Several survey vessels are sent to collect asteroid data from nearby systems. We have lost contact with one of them. This happens occasionally and it's probably nothing to be worried about. Find the survey vessel and get their data dump. If worse comes to worst, just retrieve the black box. This mission requires a Data Analyzer.

Blitz: Take the gate at warp-in. Hack the survey ship in the pocket. Grab the item and return to agent.

This mission is always followed by mission Listening Post.

Warp-in

The acceleration gate is not locked. You can proceed to the next pocket without killing the drones.
