Operation Loose Ends

Multifunctional ship equipment

Right, now onto the third person to talk to: Lt. Kile Kellar (in Ghinns Escape). The first thing to do is to jump to Ghinns Escape. Once there you will see the blue marker on one of the stations. c with the station and talk to Lt. Kile Kellar:

Talking to Lt. Kile Kellar

After a few seconds you will recieve the following message:

Ah you must be [player.name]! The great destroyer of Argon ships, defender of Earth and most importantly thief of my job! Yeah, you heard right. I've spent two years in the Community of Planets looking for HQ technologies they have stolen from us. And how does Command thank me? They give someone else my job and 'promote' me to a scouting officer. Now I can watch the ships fly past outside all day. What a cheek!

You will get another message after asking for his help:

Okay, okay. I will help you, for the love of Terra and for my pay check.

Recently there have been rumours that a Teladi corporation, the Nividium Mining and Manufacturing Company NMMC, sold a Boron HQ station to a member of the Argon Special Task Force 87 called Kert Dannar. It's not really clear how NMMC got hold of such a station or why they sold it. However, rumours say that selling the HQ station was just a subtle way for the Teladi government to help the Argons in the Terran War. Fortunately, it is difficult to hide such a unique station, so I know that Kert Dannar built his Headquarters in Guiding Star.

It shouldn't make any difference to our researchers how you get them the necessary data files about the HQ, so scanning it directly is probably just as good as downloading the data somewhere. The security measures of the headquarters will probably prevent any successful long range scan, so you will have to get close to the station. Beware, Guiding Star is certainly to be well secured, and the members of Task Force 87 are better trained than the rookies you usually fight. Kellar out.

So basically you must head to Guiding Star, look for a headquarter station then scan it - sounds easy eh? Well Guiding star can be a bit hard to find, so hopefully this will help (top, right of map):

Finding Guiding star

After reaching Guiding star, as soon as you come through the gate you should notice the headquarters to your left, like so:

The headquarters in Guiding star

You will need to get within 1km to scan the station - very close. Be careful as there are Argon capital ships surrounding the station. A ship like the Springblossom may be ideal (due to its high top-speed). When your in range, you will hear scanning.... Just wait around until it finishes, after which 9 x Titan's will spawn (good time to get out). The mission will complete, and ask you to dock at Saturn Research Station in Saturn.

Now dock at Saturn Research Station to complete data gathering mission(s). Glad thats over with.
