Detailed Walkthrough[]
Talk to Sarah and she will join the Spacefarer to see how they handle themselves and further teach them about the Constellation's objectives. She will be locked as the active companion as a result. The first destination is the MAST building a few blocks away. Here meet Commander John Tuala, who enthusiastically tries to recruit the Spacefarer into the UC Vanguard. He advises the party that a Vanguard named Moara has a fancy ornament that matches the artifact's description; they're patrolling the Sol System, and should be found in Cydonia's bars.
Head to Cydonia in the Sol system. Once there, visit the Broken Spear to find clues of Moara. The bartender Jack seems a good source, but wants Moara's tab settled before he is willing to give out more information. Either:
- Pay the tab
- Persuade him
- Have Sarah intervene
- Use the [Starborn] speech option
If you use the [Starborn] speech option, it will not be necessary to persuade or bribe Jack. He will stammer and immediately give up the information.
Once one of the routes has been complete, he will mention the Lady of Love, which will be the starting point in tracking Moara. Go to Venus and on arrival there will be House Va'ruun zealots in orbit; although hostile they are distracted by a ceremony being performed. Sarah will pinpoint a satellite; close to the zealots. To reach the satellite, either:
- Power down weapons and shields and give a few power points to the engines to enter stealthily
- Take down the Va'ruun ships
- Fly through unchallenged if one has the Serpent's Embrace trait.
Upon reaching within 500 meters of the satellite, the comms can be picked up.
From here, Grav Jump to Nova Galactic Staryard orbiting Luna. The shipyard is a combat zone between fighting Ecliptic mercenaries and Spacers. Once the Slate giving Moara's location has been obtained, return to the ship and go to Neptune. Once there, Moara's ship will attack and must be crippled in order to dock it and eliminate the hijackers.
Once the Ecliptic hijackers have been dealt with, speak to Moara.
After your conversation with Moara, he happily agrees to give up the Artifact in exchange for you rescuing him. Grab the Artifact. Return to the Lodge and place it with the others. After a short conversation between Sarah, Noel, and the Spacefarer, the quest ends and you receive your rewards.
Rewards[]
- Levelled Credits
- [Levelled] Constellation Space Helmet
- [Levelled] Constellation Spacesuit
- XP (levelled?)
Notes/Trivia[]
- During the conversation with Moara, you can explain to Moara that people were worried about him with the dialogue option: “You were out on patrol for a long time. People were worried.” You will unlock a slightly longer conversation with him using this dialogue option — through it, you can ask him to join your crew. He will mention to check back in with him at Cydonia later about the request.
- If you visit the NG Staryard, you can skip objectives 2 through 6.
