Mission Briefing

It seems Ishukone are playing a dangerous game here, <char_name>. Before we make any moves though, we have to be absolutely certain that things actually are what they look like. What does that mean? It means I need you for another infiltration mission.

We’ve been monitoring the movement of selected Ishukone vessels over the last few days. Our focus is on the handful of diplomatic emissaries they’ve deployed inside Black Rise. Why does Ishukone have diplomats down here? We wondered the same thing, and that’s why we had them followed.

While tracking one particular Ishukone vessel, our surveillance team lost them. They appear to have warped into a derelict research facility, conveniently located inside an area riddled with electromagnetic interference. Now, it’s quite possible that their actions were entirely legitimate. We just don’t know though, I ordered my men not to pursue.

I'm betting that we can send you in there without any trouble, no matter what goes down. You capsuleers are invaluable for these sorts of missions where you have no idea how it will go. Would you be willing to scout the area for us and report back what you find?
