Mission Walkthrough

Back to Vectera is one of three missions unlocked after completing The Old Neighborhood. The other two are Into the Unknown and The Empty Nest, and they can be tackled in any order. Barrett’s whereabouts are unknown since your initial encounter on Vectera. To find him, head to the Argos Extractors Mining Outpost on Vectera within the Narion System. Supervisor Lin informs you that Heller and Barrett were abducted by Crimson Fleet pirates who sabotaged the comms computer.

Follow the mission marker to the Communications Building, activate the airlock, and restore power by inserting three Power Cells. Alternatively, if you have Security skills, lockpick the door and download “Emergency Transmission 01” from your inventory for coordinates. Return to Lin, where you can also recruit her to your crew.

The coordinates lead to Dalvik, another moon in the Narion System. Land at the Crashed Ship, locate Heller, and listen to “Emergency Transmission 02,” which guides you to Bessel III. You can recruit Heller before departing.

Bessel III in the Bessel System houses the Ransacked Research Outpost, now a Crimson Fleet base. Loot the area and reach the mission marker, where Barrett converses with Crimson Fleet Captain Matsura the Grim. Persuade Matsura to release Barrett, and return to the Lodge on New Atlantis. Barrett becomes a potential companion for your future travels.
