Mission lead-in

Mission briefing

Accept (Minmatar) - I will do my best

That is all any of us can do, my friend.

Accept (Caldari) - Sounds interesting. I'm on my way.

Fine, fine. See you soon, then.

Mission briefing

Caldari version

Our scouts have found an ancient site near here that looks like it might be of use to us as a new training and breeding facility for our modified slaver hounds. I want you to go over there with your analysis scanner and find out what it holds. There'll be no more Guristas there, I'm sure -- but with your track record, you should have no problems dealing with them.

Head to the site, clear out any pirates, and use your analyzer on the ancient ship structure there; return to me with your findings.

Remember to fit the analyzer to your ship before departing.

Minmatar version

Some scouts have found an ancient site in Agent's system that might be of use to us as a supply outpost. I want you to go there with your analysis scanner and find out what it holds. There'll be Angel pirates there, I have no doubt, trying to get their hands on any lost tech it might hold -- but with your track record, you should have no problems dealing with them.

Head out to the site, clear out any pirates, and use your analyzer on the ancient ship structure, then return to me.

Remember to fit the analyzer to your ship before you set off.

Gallente version

Some mercenary scouts have just found an ancient site that appears as if it might be of use to University of Caille. I want you to go there with your analysis scanner and find out what it holds.

Now, there'll be Serpentis pirates there, I'm sure ― don’t ask me how I know that ― but you should have no problems dealing with them. Head out to the site, cleanse it of pirates, and then use your analyzer on the ancient ship structure; once you’ve done that, return to me.

Remember to fit the analyzer to your ship before departing.
