Mission 25 : Planting the Body
Contents
Overview
Mission type: Courier, Encounter/kill, Arc Mission
Recommended Damage/Resists: Serpentis
Previous Mission: Bag of Blood
Next Mission: Chasing a Nightmare
Mission Briefing
There's a small outpost that the Serpentis are convinced Wolf is hiding out in. Take the body and fly it to the outpost. Kill the Serpentis if you feel like it. You're going to place the fake body in the outpost, then fly away. This will activate the timed explosives Burgan planted.
To any observer it should look like you swooped in and took out Burgan yourself, and the charred body with his DNA should sell it.
Objective
Plant the fake body in the outpost. Any Serpentis kills are optional.
Granted Items
Details
With this mission, one of the first things you'll notice are that there's a large amount of Serpentis in the area. Depending on your mentality, you can engage at will. However, the mission only requires you to drop the body into the cargo-container of a habitation module so the fighting is merely a perk.
One important caveat: as soon as the body is planted, an explosion ushers in the spawn of a few Serpentis frigates that are assisting a cruiser. If you can't tank it, run as soon as you see the explosion.

Trivia/Notes
The container spawned near the second wave holds minor loot, and in one report held four scientists. They had no significance in the mission, and were probably just there for effect. The scientists seem to spawn every time the epic arc is rerun, they still seem to lack an obvious use..
