Mission Text
"Simon, ya've done alotta work for da Blue... and in da process ya'vent made any friends with Earthforce. Things have changed though." "Earthforce Scientists have found wormholes leadin' to a dimension they call 'Subspace'. It's filled with all sorts of nasties and they're endangering everyone in our corner of the black. Not just Earthforce. Not just Paxians. Even da Blue could come unna attack. Everyone." "So. Earthforce needs alda help it can get. They're willing to pardon your past misdeeds and turnna blind eye to any future ones, for a while anyway, if ya head to Subspace and conscript. Notta bad deal is it?"

"Simon? From the Blue Pirates? It's good to see Command's call to some of the more... unseemly factions hasn't gone unheard. You're probably only here for the pardon -- which according to your record -- you desperately need." Earthforce Command Officer Evans gives you a disgusted look. "Well, if you're serious about this..."

Mission Text
"As you know, our exploratory campaign into Subspace ended in a rather horrid manner. We lost all the sectors captured and were pushed back to our defense hub -- beaten, battered and bruised." Earthforce Command Officer Evans looks at you earnestly. "Frankly, we over-estimated them." "However, we won't make the same mistake twice. Defeating these aliens will require tactics and knowledge we don't currently possess. This is why Earthforce has turned to the Lyceum for help. With their brilliant minds researching the aliens, it's only a matter of time before they find a weakness -- something we can exploit!" "But enough exposition. Simon, you no doubt wonder why you've been called. The Lyceum have put in a request for pilots to help them with their research -- you served in Subspace for our exploratory campaign. I think it's a good fit, don't you?" asks Earthforce Command Officer Evans. "Good. Report to Pytheas 3000 in Lyceum Research Concourse. You'll be taking all your assignments from him."
Completion Text
"Simon?" asks Pytheas 3000 in a tinny mechanical voice. "You served in the exploratory campaign correct? I specifically asked Earthforce Command Officer Evans to only send Subspace Veterans. You did? Good!" Pytheas 3000 does his best approximation of a smile. "Let's get started then!"

Mission Text
"Earthforce is in a pickle right now. Enlistment is down and a lot of ships are allocated to the borders to stop pirates from terrorizing the colonists. You can see why they hit upon this plan, it is absolutely genius! Pirate activity decreases on the borders, more ships show up here to help with the aliens. It's kind of a feedback loop. Whatever, who cares, it's a good plan." "Anyway, here is the deal. If you enlist for a tour in subspace, Earthforce will pardon all your past offenses -- and this is a really good deal for you. I've seen your file; you have one heck of a record makes me jealous. Being out here, it's not the safest gig -- these aliens are dangerous, but it'll give you some breathing room for a while when you get back home. So? Whaddya say?"
Completion Text
"Talked to Blue Pirate Wallace did you? And you're still here? Well, no sense waiting time then, Simon." "By Earthforce Executive Order SADOW X7908, as handed down by the Sky Marshall, Simon you are enlisted in Earthforce Expeditionary Force holding the temporary rank of Enforcer until such time it is seen fit to discharge you. Upon discharge and pending successful completion of all requirements, all previous transgressions against Earthforce or affiliated factions will be forgiven." "Enforcer Simon. Welcome to Earthforce."

Objectives
Speak with Blue Pirate Wallace.
Mission Text
"Simon, before you accept this assignment, I should let you know this is a joint operation. It's us and any pirates who show up -- and they have a good reason to. Earthforce has offered a full pardon to any of these criminals who sign up for a tour." Warden Greene grabs your shoulder and looks you in the eyes. "I would fully understand if you don't want to work with these scumbags. Some of the stuff some of 'em have done is pretty bad -- but we need all the help we can get out here. I'm askin' that you keep an open mind, mull it over, meet up with the pirate leader. If you show up for briefing, you're doing Earthforce a favor and if you don't? Well I understand." "Blue Pirate Wallace has his own quarters here on E.F.V. Horizon. Talk to him, it might make you feel a little better about our new 'allies'."
Completion Text
"Hey there Simon! Warden Greene said you'd be coming to see me." Blue Pirate Wallace grabs your hand and shakes it. "I'm Blue Pirate Wallace and I'm the liaison for all the pira -- non-Earthforce personnel here aboard the E.F.V. Horizon." He motions you towards a chair in the room and sits across from you. "I know, it seems really unlikely that pirate -- ahem, non-Earthforce personnel could be here working with Earthforce. But you have to understand. These aliens, this threat, it's bigger than all of us. If we don't work together and do something about it, we're all sunk. For now anyway, Earthforce needs all of us." "If you're gonna stay, Warden Greene is holding a briefing in the operations room here aboard the Horizon. If you're not ... whatever."

Mission Text
You enter a large meeting room in the E.F.V. Horizon. It has amphitheatre seating around a holographic display and what few empty seats remain are quickly filling up with fellow pilots. Warden Greene stands in the center of the room and addresses you. "Command says it's time we sent our first strike force into subspace, that we need to show these aliens just who they are dealing with. And I agree, we're Earthforce, dammit!" Warden Greene slams his fist into the display console. "That's why I'm charging each and every one of you pilots, Earthforce, Pirate or otherwise, to head out there and not return until you've got a few kills under your belt. These are organics and Earthforce have provided you with training and weaponry -- so I better hear this was the easiest damn mission of your whole damn lives when you get back. Now move out!"

Summary
A scanner has been placed into your ship. Equip the scanner and locate and scan 3 ships in the lost squadron. Look for the squadron in LACS S1864, which is off LACS S1597. Report back to Warden Greene in Earthforce Defense Hub when you are finished.
Objectives
Scan the derelict ships in LACS S1864 with your shipscanner. Return to E.F.V. Horizon after completion.
Mission Text
You receive a transmission from Warden Greene. "Attention all pilots!" says Warden Greene. "I know everyone here is excited. After all, it's not every day you have a major victory against an untested foe!" Warden Greene pauses. "We may have won this battle -- but it was at a cost. Some of our ships didn't return back to the battle group and frankly, that's unacceptable. I don't leave a man behind. EVER." "So listen up. Command has OK'd a search and rescue mission. Every ship equipped with a scanning device needs to head back into subspace and locate Squadron 492. No exceptions. You are to search until each and every ship in that squad is accounted for and you are to bring back full scans so we know exactly what happened to 'em. DIS-MISSED!"
Completion Text
"Unfortunately it looks like the aliens got Squad 492." Warden Greene shakes his head shamefully. "It's a real shame, they were good pilots. I will make sure each and every one of them posthumously receives the Earthforce Mark of Valor for their valiant acts. Let us observe a moment of silence please." Warden Greene pauses for a few moments. "Now back to business. Reports from their ships have indicated something very, very interesting. You are to report back here, oh-seven-hundred for a full briefing of your next mission! DIS-MISSED!"

Mission Text
You're once again in the briefing room. And once again Warden Greene stands in the center next to the holographic projector. The only difference is this time it's been activated and it's displaying what appears to be a map of subspace. "Pilots," booms Warden Greene, "the eggheads at Lyceum have spent a lot of time getting this chart for us, so pay attention." He points to a small glowing orb near the center of the display. "We are here. Over here," he says pointing at another marked orb not far from the first, "is where we found the remains of Squadron 492. Now here's the important part -- so listen up." He highlights another orb on the map very near to the one denoting the lost squadron. "This is LACS S4492 -- Lyceum Astrometrics Charted System : Subspace Sector Four-Thousand Four-Hundred and Ninety-Two. Fancy name, huh?" "Scans recovered from Squadron 492 flight recorders have indicated a strong alien presence in LACS S4492. Very strong. Our intelligence team tells me it's extremely likely there is an alien outpost or stronghold of some sort in this area. Our scanners from the fleet can't penetrate subspace... That's where you pilots come in." "Earthforce Intelligence needs you to travel to LACS S4492 and determine what exactly is there. I don't have to tell you how important this information is but it could be dangerous. So get in, scan the targets, and get out in once piece. Good luck!"

Mission Text
You recieve another transmission from Warden Greene. "Just like I thought they'd say, Command tells me having an outpost this close to the fleet is risky... and," he continues, "Like I thought they'd say, Command tells me it's up to us to clear it out! We've been given a burn order for LACS S4492!" "Now don't get too excited pilots!" says Warden Greene smiling, "It's just like any other mission -- just with a lot more destruction! So get out there, give 'em hell! DIS-MISSED!"
Completion Text
"Excellent work pilots! I'd call the operation a blazing success! Things keep going this way -- we'll be home before we know it!" Warden Greene laughs. "We're really smashing those aliens, aren't we?" Most of the pilots cheer. "Settle down, we gotta get back to business!" says Warden Greene. "I've sent word to Command of our success and they have new orders in the pipe! Report back here at oh-seven-hundred for your next briefing. Until then, DIS-MISSED!"

Mission Text
"Pilots! We're moving out!" says Warden Greene from a half-empty briefing room. "Command has issued our new orders and we're establishing a new front line in LACS S4492!" "You might be wondering where half of our pilots went," he continues as he notes how sparse the room is. "Well this is a two-stage operation! Command wants half of us to transport supplies to the new outpost to get it up and going. The other half of us are still here. It's our job to keep the runners safe and clear out the way to LACS S4492 as they set up the station." Warden Greene chuckles. "If you ask me we're the lucky ones, we get to blast some alien carapace while the other guys have to haul freight!" A few laughs break out around the room. Warden Greene silences them quickly. "We're not gonna be killing aliens with our laughter and the mission starts in 30! Get to your ships now! DIS-MISSED!"
Completion Text
Constable Jefferies is a striking blonde woman who stands at the front of a small briefing room on Front Line Outpost. It's standing room only. After the last few pilots filter in, she begins. "Good work pilots. The aliens have been thinned considerably in this sector and the transports have all arrived safely. We have a skeleton station constructed and our engineers will be hard at work over the coming days getting the full station operational. All of you should be proud -- Earthforce just made its first real foothold in Subspace!"

Summary
Destroy 9 of the subspace aliens in LACS S4492. They can be found hiding in the nebula east of Front Line Outpost in LACS S4492.
Mission Text
You meet Constable Jefferies in a slightly bigger room than the last one. "The engineers have been working hard, if you haven't noticed..." says Constable Jefferies motioning around the bigger room. "... and I'd like it if we can keep them going. Unfortunately they're under near constant attack by the aliens still remaining in LACS S4492." Constable Jefferies displays a large map on the screen behind her. "As you can see, this station is important for maintaining a presence in subspace. So we need to see it finished -- which means these aliens, they need to be dealt with. That's a job Command feels is perfect for you pilots." Constable Jefferies changes the display to one of the sector. "The aliens have been seen retreating to the nearby nebula between attacks. Intelligence thinks if we clear out the nebula in this sector, we'll put an end to the constant harassment out engineers see. Command agrees and I agree as well. So that's your mission. Clear out the nebula so the Engineering Corp can get this station fully operational!"
Completion Text
"I think you pilots did it." says Constable Jefferies as she parses a report on the console in front of her. "The Engineering Corp hasn't reported an alien attack since you returned. That means construction of the station is again underway and we'll keep our foothold in subspace. This was a very important tactical victory, I couldn't be more proud!"

Summary
Travel to LACS S6230 (starting in LACS S4492, travel through LACS S514) and dock with the E.F.V. Sovereign.
Mission Text
"Now that we have this station fully operational it's time to hit the aliens even harder." says Constable Jefferies in the newly completed briefing room. It looks similar to the one aboard the E.F.V. Horizon. "With the station scanners we've detected a large alien force in LACS S6230. Intelligence thinks taking this force down could cripple the alien forces beyond repair and bring about a quick victory. Intelligence hasn't let us down so far, so I believe them..." She pauses briefly and then continues, "... and so does Command. They've sent the E.F.V. Sovereign to LACS S6230 with a few escort squads." "However, shortly after arriving in LACS S6230, the battle group dropped off scanners due to subspace interference. Their last report was that the sector was clear but things can change quickly out there. The interference is still jamming most if not all of our transmissions so I need a squad to check up on the battle group. You pilots have an excellent performance record, so you've been volunteered for this next mission." Constable Jefferies flashes a smile. "Travel to LACS S6230, meet up with the battle group and make sure they're OK. If they need assistance, assist them. You'll get further orders when you arrive. Good luck!"
Completion Text
The halls aboard the E.F.V. Sovereign are full of downed wires and smoke. As you make your way to the command deck you are stopped by Engineer O'Brien. "Simon? Commander Yaxlay said he'd see yer squad 'ere eventually... too bad 'e's dead now. I'm currently rankin' ahf-ficer aboard this vessel... and uh, I think ya can see we 'ave a problem or two."

Mission Text
"Um..." says Engineer O'Brien, "... as rankin' ahf-ficer, I suppose I should give an order. We need to abandon ship!" You give him a rather serious look. "Don't believe me?!" he exclaims. "I'm an engineer and I can say we ain't got much time 'til a core breach or a meltdown or whateva! Those aliens out 'dere ripped this ship to shreds. We 'ave hull breaches on five decks and the command level? It's toasted!" "Most of the crew made it out in pods -- but now they're sittin' ducks out dere. So umm..." He pauses for a minute. "How do I give an order again?" Another blast rocks the ship. "Never mind! Who cares! Get me off this ship and rescue my crew!!!"
Completion Text
"This is bad." says Constable Jefferies looking at the radar display. "This is really bad." "The subspace emissions that were interfering with scanners cleared and we're detecting an overwhelming alien force pouring out of LACS S514. It's no wonder the E.F.V. Sovereign was destroyed, we sent the battle group right into a trap. Simon," says Constable Jefferies looking at you with a deadly serious look, "we better hope that alien swarm doesn't head this way."

Defeat 3 aliens in LACS S9260 to cover the evacuation and return to Earthforce Defense Hub.
Mission Text
"After all the hard work and lives lost getting this station constructed and operational, I hate to see it abandeoned." says Constable Jefferies grimly. "But we have no choice." Murmurs make their way around the briefing room as Constable Jefferies turns on the holo-projector. It displays a large red mass heading towards the small green blip that represents the station. "As you can see, an alien swarm is headed this way. Our defenses can't do anything to stop it and it would be suicidal to stay here and try. That's why I'm giving a general evacuation order. All personnel are ordered to leave the station immediately!" "Pilots, our transports are at best... lightly defended. I need you to cover them as they make their escape. Keep those aliens off us! We'll rendezvous at the main battle group. Good luck."
Completion Text
"It's a damned shame," says Warden Greene. "we should have known better. These aliens have been playing with us, testing us, and now they're here to drive us out of subspace entirely! Front Line Outpost was just the beginning... this threat is a lot more real than I ever thought!"

Mission Text
"I think we learned something over the course of this campaign." says Warden Greene from the briefing room aboard E.F.V. Horizon. "We learned these aliens are a serious matter. They are more dangerous, they are smarter and they have greater numbers than we assumed them to ever have." Warden Greene turns on the holo-projector and it begins to display a list, in slow marquee crawl, of every officer lost over the course of the campaign. "Many good officers gave their lives so we could learn these lessons. We need to make sure Earthforce Command doesn't forget that." He pulls a small round disc from the holo-projector and it deactivates. "This is a list of those officers. I want to see it delivered to Lyceum Wormhole Research." "I want Command to know just what this cost."
Completion Text
"Our exploratory campaign was a failure. A disaster. A catastrophe. I don't know what else we can call it..." says Earthforce Command Officer Evans. "We lost a battlecruiser, a station, countless escorts and fighters... and countless lives." He looks down at the holo-projector disc for the last bit. "We will not forget them." "We need to know more about these aliens before we go back in. We need to be more informed and have tested tactics. Command is in talks with Lyceum for a research mission to Subspace. I'm sure they're going to need good pilots for their work. When the time comes, we'll need you again."

Summary
Travel to the Aveksaka hatchery, Prabhava Ekam, off LACS S8861. Scan an egg, kill it and return its Embryonic Alien DNA to Pytheas 3000 on Lyceum Subspace Research Station.
Mission Text
"It was an old Hearthling, that's what Terrans used to be called, by the name of Sunny Shoe... I believe?" Pytheas 3000 looks a tad befuddled. "Regardless, Sunny Shoe once said 'Know thy enemy'." "So, here we both are to learn more about the Aveksaka." Pytheas 3000 sees your look and clarifies. "Ah, yes, the 'Unknown Subspace Aliens' do have a name. They are known as the Aveksaka. Anyway, your first task is at hand!" "The Aveksaka have been breeding galaxies all across Subspace! They seem to lay eggs near the spatial anomalies that are prevalent throughout their dimension. Remember this; it makes your task all that much easier!" Pytheas 3000 emphasizes his last sentence. "I would like you to locate an Aveksaka Hatchery, scan an egg and return a DNA sample from it to me." Pytheas 3000 shoos you out. "What are you waiting for?! Off you go now!"
Completion Text
"Interesting," says Pytheas 3000 examining the DNA sample you returned to him. "Very interesting indeed!" "This DNA is extremely dense -- it seems as if it contains the blueprints for every conceivable phenotype of Aveksaka!"

... And then what happens?

Summary
Return to the Aveksaka hatchery, Prabhava Ekam, off LACS S8861. Hatch an egg by poking it with your weapons without one shotting it. Scan the resulting youngling, then kill it and return its Nascent Alien DNA to Pytheas 3000 on Lyceum Subspace Research Station.
Mission Text
"For as many questions that DNA sample answered, it's left me with even more!" says Pytheas 3000. "An egg with DNA that dense; there's no telling just what it could hatch into..." Pytheas 3000 examines the DNA sample again. "... really it seems it could hatch into, well, anything!" "Simon, I'd like you to return to the Aveksaka Hatchery and let the eggs hatch this time. Poke them with your weapons to encourage them to hatch, but don't one shot them or they'll never hatch! When they do hatch, scan and collect a sample from one of the alien young by killing it." "And do hurry; I can feel the anticipation already tingling in my circuits!"

"A picture is worth a thousand words..." says Pytheas 3000 as he studies the new DNA sample. "... it's another quote from ancient Earth's past. Napoleon Boneypants said it, I believe. In any case, this sample is extraordinary!"

Summary
Scan the Captive Aveksaka and the Deceased Aveksaka in Lyceum Research Concourse. Return to Pytheas 3000 on Lyceum Subspace Research Station when you are finished.
Mission Text
"Simon, I've discovered a very interesting feature in both DNA samples," says Pytheas 3000 as you enter his lab. "It seems the Aveksaka have a biologically hardwired affinity to a rare form of radiation only found in Subspace!" "I need validation though! My hypothesis is still just that -- I need proof." Pytheas 3000 walks you towards a window in his lab. "Out there I have two Aveksaka I have captured. One unfortunately has died. I require detailed scans of both for analysis and the stations scanners aren't delicate enough for such a task. So, scan the aliens for me and perhaps we can get to the bottom of this."
Completion Text
"Ah-ha!" exclaims Pytheas 3000. "The immediate evidence seems to fit my hypothesis. The deceased Aveksaka was most definitely deceased due to the lack of exposure to a rare form of radiation ... where as its companion has been getting regular exposure. Hmmm..."

Travel to LACS S190. Scan the anomaly inside and scoop up 3 Pyritic Radiation Samples. You will need to obtain a planet scanner to complete the scans.
Mission Text
"So the Aveksaka need radiation -- and a very rare form at that," intones Pytheas 3000. "Yes, yes, I know you already know. You're the one that found that out for me! I was merely rambling. I do it sometimes." "Anyway," he pauses. "Where was I? Oh yes! This radiation, it must be coming from somewhere. I've trained station scanners to filter out noise and to recognize its electromagnetic pattern... and they've pointed me in the direction of LACS S190." "I think a source of this radiation is here, I need you to go investigate!"

Summary
Scan the anomalies in LACS S230, LACS S9910 and LACS S4611. Return to Pytheas 3000 in Lyceum Subspace Research Station when you are finished.
Mission Text
"Upon closer inspection it appears the anomaly nearby is also emitting low doses of Pyritic Radiation. I am beginning to suspect all of the anomalies in subspace emit this radiation to a degree -- allowing the Aveksaka to soothe their craving as long as they've access to an anomaly. It explains perfectly why one of my specimens died..." Pytheas 3000 pauses for a moment. "...and the other survived." "Simon, I'm sure you already know what I'm going to ask of you next. As the old hearthlings often said, the proof is in the put-in -- William Camdem I think," Pytheas 3000 says pausing to think. "Who cares who said it; make your put-in some new anomaly scans for me!"
Completion Text
"Yes, yes, yes!" exclaims Pytheas 3000 upon seeing the results of your scans. "All of these anomalies are emitting radiation! I think my hypothesis can firmly be called a theory -- Aveksaka need the anomalies to survive!"

Mission Text
"Simon, sadly you will be leaving me today, I've assigned you to a post on LARS, the Lyceum Advanced Research Station. With this information I've gathered, they can do research on the live subjects and hopefully, enlighten both the Lyceum and Earthforce." "Also, before you leave, Timocharis 3000 at Lyceum Advance Research Station has put in a request for some... fresh subjects." Pytheas 3000 looks at a monitor in his lab. "Ah, yes, he requires 5 Aveksaka Eggs. Perhaps you could collect them on your way?"
Completion Text
"Hello Simon, I'm Timocharis 3000 and welcome to Lyceum Advance Research Station!" Timocharis 3000 gestures widely -- to a small room. "A bit of humor to lighten the mood," he explains. "So, did you find me some fresh subjects?"

Mission Text
"Now that I've fully read the report sent to me by Pytheas 3000 I think I know what direction to take our testing," says Timocharis 3000. "I need alien tissue samples!" "I'm sure you wondering, 'what about the test subjects I brought you?' I have them incubating in the nearby anomaly -- but they're eggs and sadly lack the tissues I need. You see, the aliens, they don't need to have constant exposure to anomalies -- they can be away from them for a time before they suffer withdrawal effects and ultimately die. This leads me to believe they have a way of storing the radiation!" "I just need the proof... and I think I know where I could find it. Simon, I've located multiple hatcheries, Prabhava as they're called in the Aveksaka ... tongue? They don't exactly speak as much as they use some sort of Psionic telecommunication... Never mind. Simon, if you travel to these Prabhava, I'm sure you can 'persuade' some of the aliens to hatch and perhaps obtain the samples I need."
Completion Text
Timocharis 3000 digs into the pile of alien flesh you return with both hands, rooting around until he finds a large tumor. He proceeds to slice it open, taking a sample and put it in a machine in his lab. After a few minutes of waiting, the machine dings and displays a copious amount of data on a nearby screen. "Ah-ha! Just as I suspected! This tumor is highly irradiated! Now, we just need to run some more te..." Timocharis 3000 is interrupted as a klaxon sounds.

Mission Text
A very loud warning klaxon is sounding across the station. Timocharis 3000 stumbles to the nearest view screen. "Uh-oh. Simon, we have a problem. It would appear some of the eggs you brought me have breached containment... that containment field also had a radiation dampening -- without it they'll hatch!" Timocharis 3000 wrings his hands. "This is a very dangerous situation..." "We have an alien outbreak on our hands!" explodes Timocharis 3000, now breathing heavily. "Simon, I need you to get out there and clean it up!"
Completion Text
"That was an adventure Simon," says a relieved Timocharis 3000 when you return. "and it's also given me something to think about. I scanned the anomaly in our system and it's emitting high levels of Pyritic radiation -- I think the radiation accelerated the growth of those eggs! Without the containment field, they hatched almost instanty!"

Mission Text
"It's all so obvious. Not only do they need the radiation to survive, it empowers them! See?" Timocharis 3000 displays some tissue samples he has in containment on a nearby view screen. "I've been exposing these tissue samples you collected to varying doses of radiation." He points a few healthy, growing samples. "These are the samples which have been receiving the highest doses -- they've regenerated. Tissues I thought were dead, destroyed -- completely regenerated!" "I have a few captive Aveksaka, test subjects I suppose, contained in a nearby sector; one containing an anomaly emitting extremely high doses of radiation. Simon, I'd like you to terminate the test subjects. In the process observe the effects of the radiation... Just in case the radiation does provide regenerative effects, I've set up a containment field -- so just try to take care of business inside it." Timocharis 3000 looks excited. "Science, always so surprising!"
Completion Text
"Exactly as I suspected Simon. The radiation source provided extreme regenerative effects which were only countered by the radiation dampening containment field! I think we've made a major discovery today!"

Scan 3 different types of Aveksaka in either Prabhava Dve, Tra or Katur. Return to Timocharis 3000 at Lyceum Advance Research Station in LACS S1969 when you are finished.
Mission Text
"I think by this point our theory is all but proved -- but the Lyceum is a little pickier than I am when it comes to verifying data. They'll require that I have a bit more proof before we can say it's a fact -- and honestly, it's a good idea." Timocharis 3000 activates a view screen and turns it towards you. It displays images of various aliens. "As you might have noticed during your time here in subspace, the Aveksaka come in many flavors. Our initial results come only from one alien phenotype! If we can replicate similar results -- with even more phenotypes -- I think it's safe to say all varieties of Aveksaka have a radiation dependency!" "I think you know what this means already, Simon," says Timocharis 3000. "I need some additional scan logs! Return to the Prabhava and 'encourage' some more eggs to hatch. I'll need the scans of each additional phenotype!"
Completion Text
"Excellent, this data certainly adds credence to my previous assumptions," says Timocharis 3000 reviewing your scan records. "I think we can safely infer that all Aveksaka have this weakness -- or is it strength?"

Mission Text
When you enter Timocharis 3000's lab, you are surprised to find Pytheas 3000 is there as well. "Ah, so good to see you again Simon," says Pytheas 3000 in his tinny voice. "It's time to publish our findings!" He points to a pile of holodiscs sitting on the lab bench. "As it's been said, by Will-I-Am Shakeys-pare I believe, 'All's well that ends well.' With all the data we've collected, I think we've gained valuable insight into Aveksaka biology -- quite a well ending indeed!" "So, our premise," continues Pytheas 3000. "Is that the Aveksaka are biologically linked to the anomalies peppered across Subspace -- more specifically, Pyritic radiation generated by them! Furthermore, the radiation triggers biological regeneration -- and the lack of radiation triggers degredation." "And," adds Timocharis 3000, "we posit this holds true for all Aveksaka phenotype!" "Yes, very true," finishes Pytheas 3000. "So, Simon, we're going to continue our research here. Perhaps you could deliver our report to Lyceum Wormhole Research for us?"
Completion Text
"Very interesting research," says Apollonius 3000 reviewing the paper and data you've brought him. "I'll make sure this information is passed along to both Earthforce and the Paxians. It will be up to them to develop weapons and tactics based on it." "In any case, your assistance in our field research was invaluable. On behalf of the Lyceum, we'd like to bestow upon you this Honorary Diploma!"
