Detailed Walkthrough[]
You know that information about the Legacy can be found on the Siren of the Stars, so you travel there first. Larry Dumbrosky, a Galbank executive, is known to be traveling on the Siren of the Stars, and his ID can probably be used to access the Galbank archives containing the location of the Legacy. The Captain of the Siren of the Stars is Evgeny Rokov, who might be persuaded to help you. You also have been asked by Naeva to acquire the Earth Saviour Award, which is to be awarded at a gala event onboard the Siren of the Stars.
At the gala in the Starview Ballroom onboard the Siren of the Stars, you talk with some ES Society patrons. You learn that Larry Dumbrosky is somehow associated with Gabriel Vera and Klaudia Swist. Klaudia tells you that the three of them came up with a plan to embezzle a fortune from Galbank. Evgeny Rokov advises you that the best way to get Gabriel to talk would be to disable the life support system. With the help of Chief Engineer Sandin, you do that, and all passengers are instructed to go to their cabins, which will give you access to each cabin.
You speak to Gabriel Vera and Larry Dumbrosky in their cabins. Gabriel, when confronted with what you learned from Klaudia, gives you incriminating evidence against Dumbrosky. You talk to Dumbrosky, who can be persuaded to give you his Galbank ID.
If Sheila Holbrook, head of the ES Society, has been persuaded to give you the passcode for the safe at the purser's office, you can steal the ES Award there.
You thank Captain Rokov for his help and travel to the Galbank Archives in New Atlantis.
You enter the Galbank Archives, and when you present Dumbrosky's ID, you are given admittance. You are there ambushed by Ecliptic thugs and have to kill them. There, you finally find the archived location of the Legacy, a lost transport belonging to Galbank.
Returning to the Key, you give the information to Delgado and might agree to give the ES Award to Naeva. The problem with the Legacy is that you do not yet know the exact coordinates of the lost ship, which you now know is somewhere near Bannock IV, an EM-Class Gas Giant. No ship can land on or near Bannock IV, because of the very high electromagnetic field there.
Depending on your recommendation, Rokov will or will not get a second chance with the Fleet. You can still have him arrested regardless of your decision here.
Finally, you again return to the US Vigilance and report your progress.
