Mission Briefing

I'm sure you're aware how dangerous a place Syndicate can be. Serpentis are everywhere, and your fellow capsuleers have given the region a reputation for constant violence and war. I have mapped a route you could take through Genesis, via Faurulle, that will limit the amount of lawless space you need to traverse. That will make the trip longer, but safer. I guess that depends on how you feel about the short route and the jump into PF-346 it entails. That one system alone must have claimed millions of souls over the years; it is notoriously dangerous.

Personally, I would advice discretion, and that you limit your risks. I suggest you take something evasive, be that through speed or cloaking, and avoid the busiest systems. I will have an agent on standby in KFR-ZE at a secore Nugoeihuvi facility near our station offices. I suggest you avoid the station unless there is a need to dock there. Capsuleer pirates love to corner unaware travelers there; we have to deal with the combat on our doorstep all the time.

Objective

Journey through the Syndicate region and deliver the S.I Formula Sheet to the Nugoeihuvi Cargo facility in KFR-ZE. NOH staff will be on stand-by to recieve the goods in-space, you will not need ro dock at the station.

Transportion:
Cargo: S.I Formula Sheet (0.1m3)
Pickup Location: 0.6 Poinen IV - Moon 13 - Nugoeihuvi Corporation Development Studio
Drop-off Location: 0.0 KFR-ZE (33 jumps)

Additional Information

Traditional Caldari Saying

Cross the river before you laugh at the current.

Acceptance

I'm glad I can rely on you for something like this, <char_name>. It seems so many capsuleers are becoming more risk-averse these days. It's a mindset I can't understand.

Our cargo is precious and there is zero room for error here. If that formula goes missing, so will my desire to work with you. That is our ISK, and the entirety of our business together. Prepare yourself accordingly.

Completion

Arvalo Ho

You are Katsen's courier, yes? Excellent work on the delivery. He clearly chose the right person for the job.

We have confirmed receipt of the goods, so you are free to return to Onirvura whenever you please. Just be careful on your way back out; Serpentis forces have been particularly aggresive around this area lately.

Katsen Isha

I admit I am impressed. You have shown a surprising level of patience and commitment here, <char_name>. Here is your pay, you have earned every last Kredit.

Take some time to relax, place a few bets, buy a few drinks... whatever it is you eggers do in your space time. When you are ready to continue our work, I have someone I want you to meet.

Rewards

40,000,000 credits.

Bonus Reward: 1,770,000 if completed within 6 hours.

Notes

If you blown up on the way and lose your cargo, then epic arc ends for you here, so be very careful and be ready for the great loss.

I personally never met even 1 person on the way in low and null-sec in my first run. At my second run I saw a 2-person camp between Bherdasopt and Gonditsa systems. I did both runs with my Ares.

When you are in KFR-ZE, do not dock to station, there is no need, just warp to the mission pocket space.

When you finally arive the dead space area, move on to the Cargo Facility 7A-21 and drag-and-drop the sheet from your cargo to the facility. The cargo facility is 75 km away from the initial spot.

You can complete this mission and accept the next one remotely.
