This quest will trigger some time after player has either investigated Crimson Meadow Horticulture Center or Nexus of Technology. It will also automatically happen if player goes to sleep after opening the Arch Keep.
Objectives
- Liberate the professor either through negotiating with the pirates or by infiltrating their base. There is a patrol at coordinates F4 in case of the former. Whatever happens, Aegis Incorporated is ready to move in.
Walkthrough
Professor Oldfield is hold in the sector E3 inside the two story building. There are multiple ways of rescuing him:
- By negotiating with Captain Grim. Depending on your persuasion/intimidation and mercantile skill you will either give very little camp's resources or very much, diminishing camp ability to defend against natives. With high enough skill you can also negotiate safe passage through pirate territory to Lemurian ruins.
- By forceful entry, killing pirates as you move toward E3 sector. Player can also call Chief Briggs and order an attack on the pirate base to get some combat support.
- By sneaking into cellar of two story building at E3. Once you are in the building, you will need to kill D' Flinger and use his key to open the professor's cell. Then use his other key and open the manhole. Jump in there, and move toward the exit while protecting Oldfield from giant hermit crab Thrasher and Siphoners. You will exit at E4 sector. If you have managed to kill all pirates at coordinates E4, F4 and G4, you can alternatively lead him to the main gate of the pirate base without any risk of Oldfield getting killed by critters. Once Oldfield is in safe location, either bring a jet ski and take him to the camp or call Chief Briggs through NavCom Device to pick you up.
- You can pretend to join pirates during the negotiations (90 Persuasion required) to get to the prison. Then, turn on the captain and free Oldfield.
- You can attack the captain and his lieutenants during the negotiations. You will need enough of either Strength, Melee, Dodge, Temporal Manipulation, Thought Control or have Yell feat in order to successfully attack first. Keep in mind that you will be disarmed.
- If you fail to attack first during meeting with the captain (or do it intentionally), you will be quickly stunned, stripped of all your belongings and thrown to the cell next to professor. There you can find a lockpick hidden in the toilet to open your cell and escape or persuade D'Flinger to come closer and then grab his cell key with enough dexterity, strength or melee skill. Player may also find in their cell components necessary to craft a Shiv. If player has managed to convince Flinger to come nearby, they can instantly kill him with the provisional weapon if they have enough melee skill. After disposing of Flinger, grab your stolen gear hidden in the container on the floor above and proceed with the rescue.
All of the options except the negotiations will cause pirates to attack the expedition camp after the rescue in the same manner as natives do unless player has killed enough of them or killed all their leaders.
This is the counterpart quest to Prevent kidnapping.
