Detailed Walkthrough[]
This mission can start in multiple ways. The first method is by being caught smuggling illegal goods or acquiring any kind of bounty in UC space. You can also acquire the mission by completing Grunt Work for the UC Vanguard.
- If you completed the mission for the UC Vanguard, the SysDef Guard who escorts you to the elevator will have some unique dialogue about your feat where you took out the Terrormorph on Tau Ceti II.
Either way, you get to the UC Vigilance and are to meet Commander Kibwe Ikande. He will brief you about your mission, you are to infiltrate the Crimson Fleet and pose as one of their Pirates, and to that end he will outfit your ship with one container of Aurora as well as give you a sample and direct you to Saoirse Bowden on Cydonia. He'll then direct you to Lieutenant Jillian Toft for the details of what they need.
- Before leaving the UC Vigilance, head to the office on the left side near the UC SysDef mission boards to find the skill magazine CombaTech Catalog 02.
Once in Cydonia, go to the Trade Authority Kiosk and speak to Miss Bowden, She will not want to handle your shipment, and ask for a bribe to point you in the right direction. The direction being one Adler Kemp.
However, you can also refuse his offer while which will net you 7 days of prison and then once in Cydonia you will have someone giving you a message without telling why. You are to report to Adler Kemp in the Broken Spear.
Go to The Broken Spear, and he'll be sitting there waiting for a drink. After telling him you require need moved, he will point you to a deadbeat acquaintance of his, Karl Fielding, and ask you to recover his debt. Once in the residential district, look for the man sitting in the back on the ground. He will play coy, saying he doesn't know what you're talking about. Then as you get a little more forceful, he tries to wriggle away saying he'll have the money soon, at which point you can either pay for him to persuade him or attack him to get what he owes.
- Before heading back to Adler, you can find two skill magazines in the Cydonia Residential District: UC Defense Manual 03 in the UC Marine Barracks and Mining Monthly Issue 07 in the Deimos Mining Barracks.
You are then sent back to Adler Kemp, who asks for the money as well as if Karl is still going to be a problem. Regardless of which of you chose, he refers you to an associate of his to join the crew.
