Bring mining ship to mine the Green Arisite roid. Theres also 1995 units of normal Gneiss roids in the belt. Take the 47 units of Green Arisite back to the agent.
Blitz: Do what your agent told ya - mine, don't shoot. Be careful to approach the Green Arisite roid not to close since they'll aggro.
Small facts
- The 3 Merc Miners will disappear after a certain time so if you want to kill them, target them first. They drop drugs when killed. Attacking the Miners spawns the 2nd wave of ships.
- I do not always get the 5th and 6th waves of ships. So far, I dunno why. Also, once when fighting the 6th wave of ships, they just up and left in mid-battle.
- There are also approx 16433 units of Omber and 1995 units of Gneiss to be mined in this part.
- The mission also features regular belt spawns (according to your system security/rat type).
- The total bounty of NPC's is 1.273.000,- ISK

Warp In
All will spawn almost immediately after you warp in. The Raiders/Sunders orbit at 2-4km. There are only few drone cruisers, so it is not heavy pocket. Shoot the 2 bunkers to stop more respawning7x Sunder Alvi

The Unveiling (4 of 7)
Faction: Rogue Drones
Space Type: Deadspace
Mission Type: Encounter
Damage dealt: All kinds
Recommended Damage Dealing: EM.
Recommended: Nightmare, Drake
Kill the mother drone and get the Elite Drone AI from the can its drops and take to your agent.
Blitz: Okay, if you're looking to blitz this arc, I assume you're already in your passive tanked ship anyway. So just ignore all the respawns (11 frigs, 4 cruisers, 1 elite cruiser (strain annihilator alvum), 1 battlecruiser) and directly kill the Mother Drone. Simple, really. Watch out for drone aggro.
Warp In
Faction: Rogue Drones
Mission Type: Encounter
Space Type: Deadspace
Damage dealt: All kinds
Recommended Damage Dealing: EM.
Extras: Neutralizer Towers and Stasis Towers
Web/scramble: Strain Drones
Recommended ships: Nightmare, Nighthawk, Drake, any other passive ship.
The BS Drone (Has Different Names) drops the can you need with the " Hive Mind CPU".
Warp In Waves
- It is best to go for passive tanking and leave the towers alone, as they spawn a cloud of angry drones.
- If you are active tanked, then: primary the energy neutralizers, kill the strain drones after the neutralizers (scramblers), and then the Violator Drones as they do the most damage.
- Take one tower down at a time, as each one triggers a spawn of its own.
