Quest Group: Misc
Prerequisites: To play this mission, you must first complete the mission Loose Ends.
You can start this mission after you complete the "Loose Ends" mission. Speak to Yannick Legrande and agree to cooperate with him.
Yannick Legrande needs Aurora to brew his drink, "Blend." I have a forged ID for Reilly Chernyshevsky and I need to use it to get a job at Xenofresh Fisheries so I can find Neshar's contact.
The Research Lab lets you discover new crafting recipes by completing research projects. Each research project requires materials in order to make progress.
The materials needed can range from raw minerals extracted from planets, to organic substances extracted from alien creatures and plantlife, to manufactured components that can be made at an Industrial Workbench.
Interact with the Research Laboratory that is just behind you and research it under the "Pharmacology" tab. Yannick gave you the resources to do so. With the research completed, you'll be able to apply to a job at Xenofresh Fisheries.
Head to the Trade Tower and take the elevator to the Xenofresh Corporate HQ. Talk to Amanda Oxentide at the desk and tell her that you want to apply for a job.
She will direct you to the Job Application Computer which is located nearby on the wall. Interacct with it and fill your application.
Again, talk to Amanda. She will inform you about the interview you should attend now.
Go back to lobby, head to Ebbside and then use the elevator that is located there to get to the Underbelly. Talk to Valentina Gurov and tell her that you want to start your job. You will receive an Unprocessed Aurora Recipe and a Xenofresh Clean Suit.
Using the proper ingredients, you can now manufacture Unprocessed Aurora. The recipe can be viewed, tracked and produced at the Xenofresh Pharmaceutical Lab.
It looks like "Reilly Chernyshevsky" has got the job. Now I need to put on the clean suit and do what Valentina says.
Open your inventory > apparel, and equip the Xenofresh Clean Suit.
Valentina will take you to your work site and explain what to do.
I have to manufacture Aurora for Xenofresh until my shift ends. In order to maximize my pay, I should only take exactly the ingredients I need and keep moving as fast as possible. When I'm done, I can try to meet Neshar's contact in the break room.
Repeat the previous steps three times. You will receive 400 or 600 credits for each dose of Aurora.
Go to the break room and talk to Robie Hennigar.
I found Neshar's contact - Robie Hennigar. She said that she's ready to resume smuggling Aurora for Yannick Legrande. I should report back the good news.
Return to Legrande's Liqours where you will run into Benjamin Bayu. Approach him and talk to him.
He will tell Yannik how their "cooperation" will look like and leave. This will end this mission, you will receive rewards for completing it: 75 XP, 7500 Credits, and the next mission will automatically begin - "Supply Line".
So Benjamin Bayu is now in charge of the whole Blend operation, but Yannick (and I) get to keep our heads... and still make some credits. Not ideal, but better than it could've been.
After completing this mission, you will be able to play the mission Supply Line.
