Hadrian says she has a plan for dealing with the Terrormorphs. I should follow her to find out more.
Objective: Follow Hadrian
Objective: Follow Hadrian
The plan is to remove the Terrormorphs from human worlds - by either bringing back their natural predator or releasing a microbe to deal with them. But first, we'll need some raw materials. And the only place to collect those? Londinion. I'm to speak to Commander Hatoum on the only base on the planet.
Objective: Proceed to Londinion
Objective: Proceed to Londinion
Commander Hatoum's finished her briefing. We're going to be on our own out there. Hadrian has a couple remaining things she wants to discuss.
Objective: Discuss the exploration plan

Into Londinion we go.
Percival's found us our first materials in a nearby shipping yard. We're heading there now.
Objective: Locate the Aceles gene samples
Objective: Locate the Aceles gene samples
Our path through the plant's blocked! We need to deal with these creatures!
Objective: Clear the processing plant
Objective: Clear the processing plant
The processing plant's been cleared and it appears there's a field cache in here. We should check it out to recharge.
Objective: (Optional) Explore the base cache
Objective: (Optional) Explore the base cache
Kaiser's pinpointed the location of the Aceles cells in the shipping yard. Just need to find them, collect them, and not get eaten in the process.
Objective: Collect the Aceles samples
Objective: Collect the Aceles samples
Kaiser's going to try and find us location of this first sample using the shipping yard's computers. I should follow him.
Objective: (Optional) Access the supply caches
Objective: (Optional) Access the supply caches
Kaiser's found something and Hadrian says its got the info we're looking for. I should speak to her to see for myself.
Objective: Collect the manifest
Objective: Collect the manifest
Hadrian's directed me to hand over the sample to Kaiser for safe keeping.
Objective: Give Kaiser the samples
Objective: Give Kaiser the samples
All samples collected! Now I just need to take care of these hostiles!
Objective: Eliminate the remaining hostiles
Objective: Eliminate the remaining hostiles
All samples collected! Now I just need to hand them off to Kaiser.
I've handed over the Aceles samples to Kaiser. Now we just need to figure out where we're heading next.
Objective: Locate the next sample
Objective: Locate the next sample
Looks like the path to our next sample leads through the Londinion steam tunnels.
Hadrian's spotted a Lazarus Plant in bloom - a real rarity, she says. I should go take a look.
Objective: Observe the Lazarus Plant with Hadrian
Objective: Observe the Lazarus Plant with Hadrian
We just watched a Heatleech... become a Terrormorph. I should talk to Hadrian about what this might mean!
Objective: Speak to Hadrian
Objective: Speak to Hadrian
We need to track and kill the Terrormorph... or Heatleech... and kill it and figure out if this might have something to do with the attacks!
Objective: Kill the Terrormorph
Objective: Kill the Terrormorph
We took care of the Terrormorph. I just need to collect a tissue sample.
Objective: Collect a tissue sample from the Terrormorph
Objective: Collect a tissue sample from the Terrormorph
I need to hand over the sample to Kaiser and we can get to the bottom of the transformation we witnessed.
Objective: Give the sample to Kaiser
Objective: Give the sample to Kaiser
Kaiser's got the sample. Time to get to the bottom of this.
The sample we just found is a match for the ones from New Atlantis and Tau Ceti. This means someone most likely coordinated those attacks. I need to discuss this with Hadrian.
Objective: Discuss the findings with the team
Objective: Discuss the findings with the team
Our conclusion is the Terrormorph attacks may well have been triggered. But by who? And why? Regardless, our current task is still worth finishing. Time to find that final sample.
Objective: Follow Kaiser
Objective: Follow Kaiser
The door out to the spaceport - and the final sample - has lost power. There should be a power control board in the Security Office upstairs.
Objective: Restore power to the spaceport access hatch
Objective: Restore power to the spaceport access hatch
We restored the power to the room, but the system needs a reboot. Must be a reset button around here somewhere.
Objective: Initiate the system reboot
Objective: Initiate the system reboot
I triggered a system reboot. I should listen in to see if it fixes things.
Objective: Listen to the playback
Objective: Listen to the playback
The final sample is inside a Terrormorph! We need to take it down!
Objective: Secure the final sample
Objective: Secure the final sample
It sounds like Percival's got a way for me to nullify the anomaly's connection to its thralls! Powering up the radar dishes around the spaceport should do the trick!
Objective: (Optional) Power up the spaceport radar dishes
Objective: (Optional) Power up the spaceport radar dishes
We've taken down the Terrormorph containing our final sample. Time to collect it and get out of here.
Objective: Collect the final sample

All right. Sample acquired. Just need to store it in Kaiser.
Objective: Secure the Anomalous Sample
Objective: Secure the Anomalous Sample
Sample secure. Time to blow this icicle stand and debrief with Percival back at the base.
It sounds like Vae Victis was here just before he ordered the bombing of the spaceport. I should listen in.
Objective: Listen to the playback
Objective: Listen to the playback
The recording we just heard... it sounded a lot like Vae Victis knew about the Lazarus Plant. I should grab the transcription and speak to Hadrian about what we learned.
Objective: Collect the recording
Objective: Collect the recording
I've got the recorder log documenting that Vae Victis was here and knew about the Lazarus Plant. I should discuss what I've learned with Hadrian.
Objective: Speak to Hadrian
Objective: Speak to Hadrian
Vae Victis knew about the Lazarus Plant and likely blew the spaceport to pieces trying to cover it up. But we've got work still to do. Time to collect that final sample and get out of here.
Objective: Return to Kaiser
Objective: Return to Kaiser
We've returned to base. Time to discuss what we've uncovered.
Objective: Discuss your findings
Objective: Discuss your findings
We've got all the raw materials we need to get the Terrormorph clean up program off the ground... but we discovered something much bigger on Londinion - the Lazarus Plant was used in the attacks on New Atlantis and Vae Victis knew about the plant. I'm going to confront him about it now.
