Mission Briefing

"Pilot, welcome back. We've been watching.

You've done well so far, but this current situation threatens to undermine everything. This Isha character is far smarter than we gave him credit for and I fear he knows even more than he has trusted you with. We are working on something that should remove him from the picture, but for now we have to act quickly; our investigations team and their work must remain secure.

The task that lies ahead is a large one, pilot. We not only need to reposition our people out of Nugoeihuvi's way, but we also need to convince Isha that you have destroyed the facility and everyone around in it. After we learned that our location had been compromised, we did a full electronics sweep of the area. The loyalty of the staff working here was never in question, so we knew it had to be electronics surveillance.

Sure enough, we found a series of bugs in our surveillance systems. We have not interfered with them in any way so far. Our plan, pilot, is to have you disable the surveillance only moments before you move everyone out. Immediately after that point, we will trigger the detonation of explosive charges already set in the compromised facility. When Nugoeihuvi notice their surveillance has gone down, they'll suspect one of two things; that you have carried out your task, or that their bugs have been compromised. We want it to be the former, understood?

There is much at stake here, pilot. Your mission must be carried out flawlessly. Please be aware before taking it on, that you will need the ability to hack into hostile Nugoeihuvi surveillance systems. If you cannot hack, find someone who can, or quickly learn the basics yourself. That should be enough."

Objective

1. Use a codebraker to deactivate the NOH surveillance module.
2. Evacuate 5 x CPF Security Personnel (15.0m3) from the CPF Habitation Module
3. Deliver the CPF Security Personnel to Arikio Kuretsu.

Details

CPF Habitation Module (54km)

Hint: A data analyzer is required for this mission.

Warning: Once you successfully deactivate the NOH surveillance module, you will have 30 seconds to escape the blast.

Please note: The explosion radius is 10km. You need to be at least that far away to avoid damage to your ship.

Enemies

None

Rewards

20,000,000 credits.
Bonus Reward: 1,630,000 if completed within 6 hours.
Total: 21,630,000 credits

Notes

Do this mission with a fast ship to escape explosion. After looting, fly away at lest 10 km, and wait for explosion. (Mission doesn't complete if you just warp out).

Additional Information

Masks of Authority

Altercations between the corporate forces exist on record, but in almost every case they have been small incidents based on misunderstanding, with warning shots the only ordnance released. A notable exception is an incident known as the Ingalles incident, where soldiers belonging to the Wiyrkomi Peace Corps opened fire on a Hyasyoda convoy being escorted by the Hyasyoda’s agency, the Corporate Police Force.

Arikio Kuretsu

The moment you safely disable the bug, we'll send out a short-range ECM pulse. This should stop the device from restarting immediately - just long enough for you to do your work. Don't be surprised if you lose a lock, though.

The moment you have disabled NOH's surveillance taps, get our people out of the facility and clear the area. You will need to be at least 10 km away to avoid any explosive kickback.

It is important that you don't waste time after the heck, pilot. You will only have around thirty seconds to act after that point. If we wait any longer it will look suspicious.

Arikio Kuretsu

You know, pilot, all I've ever seen from your kind is death and destruction, until today, at least. We are - and I am - humbled to have you working with us.

I will leave it at that, for now. You have done enough today that I would feel overbearing trying to dump yet more work on your shoulders. Whenever you are ready though, we would like to brief you on one last assignment before you return to Katsen Isha. Until then, rest well. You've certainly earned it.
