Destruction of Spawn triggers the appearance of a 6th Container, this one called also 'Amarr Battleship Wreckage', but with a different type 'Amarrian Battleship Wreck'. Either use the type or just ignore the other containers to find that 6th container which holds the gate key (an 'Acceleration Gate Authentication Matrix') needed to get to Pocket 2.

'''Notes''': The initial warp in is about 25 km from the acceleration gate to the first pocket. So best fit a [[Propulsion equipment|propulsion module]]. The acceleration gate in the first pocket requires a gate key which you obtain in that pocket.
−
Pocket 1 can not be blitzed as the container with the key is triggered by the last ship's destruction. (Key to enter the second pocket is also consumed on use, and allies cannot follow you into the pocket, although if you need to leave the pocket you can return)
 
−
Pocket 2 can hardly be blitzed as you have to remove two spawns to be able to trigger the mission objective.

A confidential informant has warned us of an impending kidnapping attempt on a young noble by a notorious Minmatar mercenary. One of my associates, who owes me a lifetime worth of favors, discovered the plot during a card game. The merc's mouth and ego are both the size of New Eden itself.

He's a crafty SOB, so expect not just a fight, but some unorthodox challenges when he realizes you're on to him. He's especially fond of drawing pursuers into hazardous clouds. Odds are good he'll have some ex-Navy Minnies flying back-up. He might be a braggart, but he's still a paranoid merc. Be careful.
