Shady Business Plot guide

Miscalculation.. continued

With the ship partically restored, your be told to scan an wreckage of a Xenon M0 ship for parts. So travel over to the wreckage and scan it. Once scanned your get the following message:

This appears to be the wreck of a massive ship. From the design and complexity, the remains are clearly an evolutionary bridge between the Second Terraformer Fleet of ancient Earth and the Xenon of modern day.

Analysis indicates destruction by supernova prior to 742 NT when a more advanced design destroyed the star of Black Hole Sun using unfocused jump drive technology. This sector's black hole seems to be the failed result of one such Xenon experiment.

Schematics downloaded and archived. More data required for further extrapolation.

Next youre be told to scan another piece of Xenon wreckage. So head over there and start scanning once more.

Once scan it, a little puzzle will come up to Solve. You basically got to work-out the jumbled word. For me, I got kownUnn cetoSr or Unknown Sector. Once you solve the puzzle, your will get another message from your onboard computer:

You have downloaded what remains from the barely functional CPU core. Most of the legacy code is corrupt, but it appears to contains copies of both the original shutdown codes transmitted to the Second Terraformer fleet from Earth as well as the modified version transmitted by Dr Marteen Winters that spawned the Xenon.

Since the base code is a hybrid between Terraformer and Xenon, a talented AGI developer might be able to reverse engineer it to seize control of both the Xenon and the Beryll Assembler Drone Fleet into an unstoppable gestalt, or shut them down entirely.

Legacy code downloaded and archived. It is recommended that you return to known space for more extensive repairs before Xenon reinforcements arrive. You may be able to find Jump Drive Components and other spare parts among the Xenon wreckage scattered about the system.

If you check space, youre notice some floating wares:

Floating equipment for the Acinonyx Prototype

So go pick-up the equipment! However... be careful, before you do anything I suggest you save. A lot of Xenon ships will spawn and your have to collect crates whilst under-attack. Depending on many things, this could prove easy or very hard. You wont be able to jump away. I suggest you go for Hull Plating (repair the hull) and Engine tunings<. The reason why is so you can out-run the spawning Xenon ships. If you cant, you will be constantly hit.

You will be stranded until you collect enough Jump Drive Component to repair your jump-drive. These have to be found like the Dragon before - with the beeping/hot-cold tracker.

After many waves, you will finally restore your jump-drive and your ship will automatically return to Lost Order. Now talk to Ho t'Sht onboard the Split Elephant. You got some explaining to do.... Ho t'Sht!!

You'll be told to transmit your flight logs and data core to Ho t'Sht.

After a short amount of time, Ho t'Sht will contact you again. She will say that found some very interesting information from the data you supplied. However the ship is too damaged and doesnt want it back. The only down side is that you lost your UFJD for the time-being.
