COSMOS Missions - King of the Hill (1 - 6)
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. Objective Retrieve the data burst from Lord Methros' Outpost.
King of the Hill (2 of 13)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. Objective Retrieve the data burst from Lord Arachnan's Outpost. You will have to destroy the Guardian Drone orbiting the outpost to access it.
King of the Hill (3 of 13)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. 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.
King of the Hill (3 of 13) (part 2)Mission Briefing I need you to retrieve another data fragment from one of Amolah Kesti's ejected containers. Scour Zimse for any traces of it, or use a system scanner to find it's cosmic signature. Return to me once you have completed your objective.
King of the Hill (3 of 13) (part 3)Mission Briefing As before, I need another data fragment from Amolah Kesti's message. Scour Zimse for any traces of it, or use a system scanner to find its cosmic signature. Return to me once you have completed your objective.
King of the Hill (4 of 13)Mission Briefing Hmm how could The Blood Raiders have known about our rendezvous point? This is most disturbing, get back to me quickly once you're ready as I have more work for you. Objective Fly to the rendezvous point. If you encounter any hostiles, destroy them.
King of the Hill (5 of 13)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. Objective Find the Contested Amarr Mire Keep in Garisas, destroy one of the Blood Dukes, and return to your agent with his medallion.
King of the Hill (6 of 13)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.
COSMOS Missions - King of the Hill (7 - 13)
King of the Hill (7 of 13)Mission Briefing Hmm is this you? You look taller than I imagined ... do you have it?
King of the Hill (8 of 13)Mission Briefing I have a mission of very high importance to the empire. That data fragment you retrieved from Lord Methros' Transport Cruiser is using a very special form of encryption that our scientists cannot break without the correct machinery. I need you to go and collect a decoding device from the Emperor Family Bureau in Gensala. From there we can start to modify it to suit our needs.
King of the Hill (9 of 13)Mission Briefing That decoder you have does not work properly on the algorithms that Lord Methros is using, we need to get components from his machines which are fitted on almost every ship he has command over. But I have a more pressing task first for you, in order for us to program the machine correctly we need an Enigma Cipher Book, it is a set of codes that will allow us to help better decode his transmissions. Find this and collect as many Encoding Matrix components as you can find while you search for it. Once you have proven your worth I will need you to assemble the modified encoding machine for me. Oh and you should be able to acquire the Enigma Cipher Book from some of the pirates that infest our asteroid belts. They apparently use a very similar coding system as we found in Methros' Data Burst ...
King of the Hill (10 of 13)Mission Briefing Well, if you were paying attention to me last time we spoke you should have the parts we need to assemble the machine. If you didn't manage to find them all go back to Lord Methros' compound and see what you can dig up ... Don't give away you're working for us; otherwise you will undermine our entire operation. Take that blueprint I gave you and create a working decoder. Then bring it to me.
King of the Hill (11 of 13)Mission Briefing I don't believe it! That treacherous swine. We finally managed to decode the transmission. From what we can tell it's an attack plan for Lord Arachnan and he's in league with The Blood Raider Covenant. We need to confirm this before we take it to the Emperor's House and the Imperial Navy. Go to these co-ordinates and see what you find. Kill anything you find there and report back with any information you can find from them. Objective Destroy the Blood Raider (Corpum) forces and retrieve something that would interest your agent.
King of the Hill (12 of 13)Mission Briefing We've been deceived; an undercover operative of The Blood Raider Covenant, Yamia Mida, was found working within our ranks. Once he knew his position was compromised he fled into a fleet of waiting Blood Raider troops. That Encoded Data Chip showed attack plans against Arachnan and the Imperial Navy stationed in his area of influence, it would seem that Arachnan wasn't in league with the Blood Raiders after all. Find the traitorous bastard and bring him to justice. We received a tip that he's located in Zimse, but that's all we know. I suggest you use a system scanner to search for him, if he's located in the middle of nowhere I assume he either has a beacon or cosmic signature nearby for navigational purposes. Objective Search Zimse with a system scanner for any traces of the Blood Raider agent.
King of the Hill (13 of 13)Mission Briefing This internal quarrel is turning into a massive political mess, we've been receiving rumors of Lord Methros' involvement with the Blood Raiders, we aren't sure but if it is true then recent activities you and I have encountered would make a lot more sense. However this is to be resolved at another time. For now I have one final task for you to complete for me. There is a large Blood Raider fleet assembling in Nidupad, which we believe is going to launch a full scale assault against Arachnan's forces. It must be quashed before it can grow any larger. If you fail I will have to deploy the Imperial Navy, but with the current situation that would cost us greatly. This is an important mission, which will have significant impact on your faction standings. Objective Destroy the Blood Raider forces which are amassing in Nidupad.
