Cosmos mission - King of the Hill

[Picman]

King of the Hill (1 of 13)

Mission briefing
While the royal family does not officially condone the fighting between Methros and Arachnan, they do not see it as any major threat to their claim to power in this region. To that end they are willing to let it continue as the infighting is bringing a much needed economic boost to the region.

With this in mind, it is our duty to monitor the conflict and inform the Emperor and his council should either of the parties engage in business detrimental to the empire.

We have a mission suited to your talents my friend. Lord Methros and Arachnan have secret outposts inside their sphere of influence in Araz, from where they conduct various operations. We are of course aware of these outposts, as the Emperor Family has ears and eyes in all corners of the Empire, figuratively speaking of course. I want you to make an unannounced visit to these outposts and retrieve an encrypted data burst located inside them.

I want you to start with Lord Methros' outpost. I'll give you a bookmark to it's exact location, of course. I will inform his guards of your visit as soon as you arrive, since doing it any earlier would compromise your mission.

Acquire these goods:
Lord Methro’s Encrypted Data Burst


Kill Objective
Retrieve the data burst from Lord Methros' Outpost.:


Encounter (no deadspace, no aggro)

Mission briefing
I am incredibly puzzled by the large presence of Blood Raiders around the outpost. In fact I am surprised any Blood Raiders were at that rendezvous point. But before we pursue an investigation of that any further I would like you to conduct a similar mission to Lord Arachnan's 'secret' outpost. Retrieve the data burst from there as well, and bring it to me. As before you should encounter no resistance from Arachnan's guards, as you are there on my behalf.

Acquire these goods:
Lord Arachnan's Encrypted Data Burst

Kill Objective
Retrieve the data burst from Lord Arachnan's Outpost. You will have to destroy the Guardian Drone orbiting the outpost to access it.:

Hint: You should be able to use scan probes before you accept.

Mission briefing
While you were retrieving that data file for me, one of our agents, Amolah Kesti, was dispatched to retrieve more intelligence on Lord Methros and his troops and possible reasons to explain the Blood Raider presence along side his convoy.
Unfortunately our agent was discovered as he was making his escape. Before his ship was destroyed he managed to launch several high security containers. Inside are fragments of information on Lord Methros. According to him, this information was too sensitive to send over a standard transmission.

Apparently he didn't have time to send the containers on a direct route to our station here in Zimse. Instead they are floating in space at a random location within the system. Hopefully they will have gotten caught in a moon or planet's gravitational pull, which would narrow down the search a bit. But the easiest way to find them would be to search for their cosmic signature, as they are programmed to release one after a certain amount of time has passed.

Your objectives are to find these containers and bring their contents to me.


Overview and Objectives
The following objectives must be completed to finish the mission:

Bring Item Objective
Acquire these goods:
1 unit of Amolah Kesti’s Data Fragment I (mission part 1 of 3)
1 unit of Amolah Kesti’s Data Fragment II (mission part 2 of 3)
1 unit of Amolah Kesti’s Data Fragment III (mission part 3 of 3)


Objective
Find the first data fragment inside a floating container in space. You know that there probably is a cosmic signature located near it, and that the container might be located near a celestial object in Zimse.

# beacon 1 (near asteroid belt)
2x Corpus Oracle
2x Corpior Fanatic
2x Corpior Friar
2x Corpior Devoter

#beacon 2 (near planet)
no enemies

#beacon 3 (near moon)

Lord Methros' Encrypted Data Burst is to complex for me to decode, I want you to take your copy to a rendezvous site in Chanoun. There will be a courier waiting for you to deliver it to a top secret laboratory. Hopefully they will have better luck than me. Report back when you have delivered it or if you run into any difficulties.

Hint: No BS allowed, complex is empty very often, so you need to wait until the commander respawns.
I did not find any Corelum commanders, probably it's a typo. It was a Corpum commander that was in there.

Mission briefing
That Data Burst must have incredibly valuable data on it; it must be why we keep encountering resistance whenever it is being transported. To that end I have decided to bring the scientists and equipment to me. But there is one issue I would like you to take care of before we move on. Our agent that was killed managed to write down the coordinates of a Blood Raider stronghold which he uncovered during his time undercover. It's located in Garisas, inside the Mire Keep. You should have no problems finding it, the Mire Keep is still bookmarked on most conventional starmaps.

He mentioned something about Corelum Commanders stationed there who are running the place. I want you to kill at least one of the commanders and return to me with a token of his worth. We'll see what effect that has on their operations in Araz.

Overview and Objectives
The following objectives must be completed to finish the mission:

Bring Item Objective
Acquire these goods:
1 unit of Corpum Commander Medaillon


Objective
Find the Contested Amarr Mire Keep in Garisas, destroy one of the Blood Dukes, and return to your agent with his medallion.

Enemies (no screenshot, as the complex was covered with loot cans from previous visitors):
Several missile towers and small sentry guns as well as rats, max BC.

Mission briefing
It looks like your skills have been noticed by higher echelons of my section. There is somebody expecting you, he goes by the name of Ammargal Detrone. You can find him in Nidupad. However he's very formal, and requires an official ID card before he'll deal with you. Take this note to the Emperor Family station in Gensela and you'll get your ID card. Good luck my friend.

This is an important mission, which will have significant impact on your faction standings.


Overview and Objectives
The following objectives must be completed to finish the mission:

Transport Objective
Transport these goods:
1 unit of Zach’s note (0.1 m³)

Rewards:
The following rewards and bonuses will be yours if you complete this mission:
1 unit of E.F.A ID card

From mission 1 to 6 the agent is triggered automatically and offers you the next mission. This stops after the 6th one and you can continue whenever you want. Please keep the ID card as you will need it then.

The agent called Zach Himun was in a cruiser at the Imperial Administration Complex in the Zimse system (Kador), near a beacon.
