Mission 5 - An Honorable Betrayal
Report to Arikio Kuretsu in Wuos (Wuos V - Moon 1 - Hyasyoda Corporation Mining Outpost).
Once you report to Arikio Kuretsu in Wuos, you explain to him what NOH is having you do in regards to his corporation. He then has a lengthy explanation about how Hyasyoda has nothing to do about these things and sends you back to Poinen, where you then choose to do either Two Steps Into Hell or Playing it Safer. This also unlocks a new story arc branch after you do Two Steps Into Hell.
Mission 6 (Story Arc Branch) - Almost Unmasked
Report to Arikio Kuretsu in Wuos (Wuos V - Moon 1 - Hyasyoda Corporation Mining Outpost).
-Some Light Theatrics
Mission 7 - Some Light Theatrics
In this mission, you have to make NOH think that the CPF compound they are watching has been destroyed. You have to hack into the electronic surveillance(a CPF Habitation Module) and take the security forces out before it explodes, and then return to the agent. You have to be quick however, as the CPF compound explodes about 30 seconds after you hack into it, and if you fail to retrieve the CPF Security Personnel you will fail the mission.
Mission 8 - Untouchable
-Report to Katsen Isha in Poinen (Poinen IV - Moon 13 - Nugoeihuvi Corporation Development Studio).
Mission 9 - A General's Best Friend
Faction: Gallente Navy
Mission type: Encounter
Space type: Normal space
Damage dealt: Therm/Kin/ EM
Web/Scramble: None
Extras: Sensor dampening (Elite frigates, Elite cruisers & Battleships)
Recommended damage dealing: Kin (best), Therm (secondary)
Single Pocket
Newly Constructed Acceleration Gate sits 72km away.
Single group triggers(decloaks) when you get about 30km from the gate
Initial Group: (2.5-35km)
5x Gallente Navy Nemesis
10x Gallente Navy Arazu
6x Gallente Navy Sin
The ships don't do a lot of damage as long as you don't get too close. I typically align out as soon as I decloak the first Sin. The Gallente Navy Arazu's also fire Thunderbolt missiles, which push out a lot of EM damage, so fit your tank accordingly.
Once you kill all of the ships, go through the gate, and you'll go through the motions. The next mission is Mission 8 - Meet Sinas on Page 2
No structures drop loot.
