Sig. strength Escalate from Serpentis Fortress

Suspicious Job is an expedition that escalates from Serpentis Fortress and can lead into both low-sec and null-sec regions.

Walkthrough

This escalation consists of four parts.

First Part

Warp in. If Shadow Serpentis is there: kill him, possibly get escalation. Else (or If didn't get escalation): Use acceleration gate, possibly get escalation.

Escalation start
As the bits and pieces from the disintegrated station charge into space, carrying the news of heightened entropy in the universe, your instruments receive an unusual message. It's obviously being transmitted from the Serpentis and even though the person on the other end does not introduce himself as such, the special cypher reveals it is indeed theirs. He demands speaking over a secure channel and after you have established one, he continues with sarcastic congratulations on your victory. He then gives you an offer: If you travel to three different locations as he instructs and assassinate the Serpentis leaders operating there, he will reward you handsomely. He then gives you coordinates to a location in a "take it or leave it" manner before bidding you farewell and adds that he will contact you after the first target is destroyed.

Entering this room can trigger the escalation.

Escalation message:
Your communication instruments finally come alive as the Serpentis contact who hired you starts talking on the private channel. Even though the area was empty, he commends you on a job well done and gives you directions to the next assassination target.


Second Location

There is only the warpin pocket with no acceleration gate. The Commander Battleship or possibly one of the Elite Cruisers can trigger the 3rd part of this escalation.

Escalation continue:
This time your employer is right on time with the coordinates to the last location. He sounds somewhat stressed, but before you can reply he is gone.

Third Location

This part consists of a warp-in pocket and an second pocket behind a acceleration gate. If the Shadow Serpentis NPC is in the first pocket, kill him for the next part, else take the gate.

Escalation continue:
After blowing up the third rival, you have probably come closer than you ever will to hearing how a debauched officer of the Serpentis sounds when he is ecstatically pleased. He gives you one last location and tells you to meet him there. It's payday.


Fourth and Last Location

This last location consists of 2 pockets, the warp-in pocket and a acceleration gate pocket. The last Shadow Serpentis NPC is in the second pocket.
