Kallichore Archive
| "Let me summarize for you, my good captain: within, oh, two or three shifts, this place will be in the crossfire of an interfactional criticality event and every second spacer buying noodles on the concourse is going to be an assassin or spy." | ||
"Kallichore Archive" is the second main mission in the Galatia Academy mission chain, taking place in parallel with the "Finding Coureuse" mission.
The player has to perform certain tasks to recover the archive of the previous Academy provost, Tomas Kallichore, from the Hegemony.
Acquisition
This mission and "Finding Coureuse" are preceded by the "Talk to Baird" mission, which is automatically given when talking to Alviss Sebestyen at the Galatia Academy once the "Extract 'Researcher'" mission is completed. No generic missions will be given until the player speaks with Anahita Baird.
A story point will be awarded after completing the dialogue with Baird and receiving both missions.
Walkthrough
The player is to first visit Rayan Arroyo, a Tri-Tachyon executive on Eochu Bres in the Hybrasil Star System. Contact him on the comm directory, then return to the main menu and take the shuttle down to his chalet. Arroyo tells the player to find the super-hacker Gargoyle on Port Tse Franchise Station, in the Mayasura Star System, and becomes available as a potential contact.
Gargoyle in turn directs the player to Nova Maxios in the Magec Star System. Pick up the gear through the provided main menu option, then head to the Aztlan Star System.
Now comes the only difficult part of the mission: planting the device on the comm relay. A Hegemony fleet is patrolling around the relay. There are a few ways to deal with this:
- Simply walk up to the patrol with transponder off and kill it.
- Get a fleet full of phase ships (dropping off other ships with high sensor profiles at a local market's storage), and sneak up to the relay with Go Dark (preferably with the Sensors skill).
- Hack the sensor array in the system to generate false signals. This will distract the patrol from time to time, causing it to leave the vicinity of the comm relay.
- Distract the patrol. Fly some distance away with the transponder on, use Active Sensor Burst (to maximize sensor profile), and turn off the transponder. The patrol will pursue the player fleet for having its transponder off; wait till it gets close, then Transverse Jump out of the system, and back in near the relay. It may be possible to get to the relay before the patrol returns.
- Wait until Pirate Activity is happening in the Aztlan system, then hack the relay while the patrols are busy dealing with the pirates.
After hacking the relay, return to Port Tse Franchise Station. Do anything necessary at the station before talking to Gargoyle; the reasons for this will become clear shortly.
Following the conversation with Gargoyle, a large Hegemony task force will burn towards Port Tse at high speed, and another will ambush the player in hyperspace (can be tricked with 1 SP 0% XP). Transverse Jump out of the system, evade/trick/fight the other task force as needed, and return to the Academy.
Reward
You receive 100,000c after completing the mission.
Aftermath
When visiting a bar on a Hegemony or Tri-Tachyon market after the mission, the player will be accosted by government agents. The dialog that follows has no major effects, but the player will invariably suffer a -5 reputation loss with the Hegemony (will not go to hostile state).
