任務簡報
Arsten Takalo : Now that we're past the small talk perhaps you're ready for some proper work. I guess we'll see.
There's this Gallentean guy, a historian named Aillon Boufin…yeah, I know. The story is that he's been studying Minmatar history for years now, and as you'd expect, he's come across a whole shipload of information and documents in that time. Apparently he has one of the largest unofficial collections of documents and artifacts from our earlier days. We're talking real old here, <玩家名稱>, some of it - going back to when it was just us, alone against the Amarr.
Now, I'm told that normally whenever we want to look at something of his, there aren't too many problems. Recently however, when some of our academics from the Republic University asked to see a particular document known as the Hauteker Memoirs, they were denied. Since that time, they have bent over backwards for this guy. They have even tried to buy it back - this document that Matari people wrote, this document that belongs to us. They have tried that repeatedly, raising and raising the price and yet each of these times more refusals.
This is when things got ugly. Boufin recently made a statement to the University, saying he is only trying to “preserve Minmatar heritage”. After that insult, they called us in. The implication that RU staff would somehow endanger our own history by simply studying a document...it's almost like he was trying to piss us all off.
Well, the insults stop here. The Brutor tribe has arrived, and with a capsuleer to back their word on the matter no less. It has been decided by the tribe that the return of this document to Matari hands represents a higher priority than staying on good terms with some overprotective historian, Gallente or not. You will see to this. And before you go jumping in, there is a 5m ISK collateral to cover associated risks. The tribe is not willing to risk our own property falling into foreign hands again. Perhaps you can see why we're looking to hire an egger? With that kind of money it's not really an option.

保留的代價
既然我們已經不用講廢話了，那或許就是給你正事做的時候了。希望你能以實際表現驗證這一點。
有一個名叫埃隆·保費因的蓋倫特歷史學家，他研究米瑪塔爾的歷史已經好多年了，他收集到的資料信息足以塞滿一艘船。他拿到了大量有關我們早期歷史的資料與文物，在非官方認可的資料收集者中，他的收集數量處於頂尖行列。 <玩家名稱>，我這裡指的早期確實是很久以前的事，可以追溯到我們單槍匹馬挑艾瑪的年代。
本來我聽說只要我們想去他那兒查一點資料，都不會有太多問題。但最近當我們共和大學的幾位學者要求查閱一份名為“霍特克回憶錄”的文檔時，卻遭到了拒絕。然後他們就跪求這位歷史學家，甚至還提出收購——要知道這份文檔可是瑪塔利人寫的，是屬於我們的啊。他們試了一次又一次、不斷加價，卻依然換不來對方點頭。
接下來雙方就變得不客氣了。先是保費因向共和大學發去了一份聲明，聲稱他是想“保護米瑪塔爾的遺產”。然後共和大學就來找我們了。他的那份聲明就是在暗示共和大學的學者會通過研究一份文檔來銷毀我們自己的歷史……他根本就是想讓我們大家都氣得七竅冒煙。
夠了。布魯特的人已經來了，還請來了你這位克隆飛行員來幫他們。他們已經決定，為了讓這份文檔重新回到瑪塔利人手裡，即便犧牲這位保護傾向過於嚴重的歷史學家也在所不惜，哪怕他是蓋倫特人。你去執行這項決定。在你動身之前，你得先繳納5百萬星幣押金來確保風險。布魯特人可不希望再冒險讓其自身物品落入外人之手。現在你該明白我們為什麼要找克隆飛行員了吧？那筆錢只有你們這種人才拿得出。
愈發緊張的關係
對許多米瑪塔爾共和國的人來說，為了與蓋倫特聯邦維持夥伴關係，他們已經付出了太多。有些人認為最近放棄議會制一事已經很明顯地顯示，蓋倫特對米瑪塔爾產生的影響並不能確保米瑪塔爾一直受益。事實上，有些瑪塔利人還認為，重建部落共和國製度是擺脫外國影響力的最後必要一步。無論持什麼樣的觀點，幾乎每個米瑪塔爾人都意識到他們與蓋倫特之間的關係還有亟待解決的幾大障礙。
接下任務
Arsten Takalo : Good. Let's see some results, <玩家名稱>.
Arsten Takalo : 好。請以實際行動來說話，<玩家名稱>。
進任務空間時
Incoming Transmission : Leave now, egger. I know why you've come, and I know who has sent you. If you think you can just march in and take things that took me years to find, you're sorely mistaken. I won't give you the courtesy of another warning.
傳輸訊號接入：馬上離開，卵人。我知道你為什麼來，我也知道是誰派你來的。你要是以為你可以就這麼大搖大擺的走進來，把我花了多年時間才得到的東西拿走的話，你就大錯特錯了。我不會再這麼客氣地給你發另外一個警告了。
任務完成時
Arsten Takalo : Well…that was interesting, eh? I doubt Boufin was carrying the Memoirs himself, but I bet he had the passkey to his archives at all times. Look amongst his wreck for anything like that and see if you can use it to access his archives.
Arsten Takalo : 好吧，這很有意思是吧？我懷疑保費因是不是把回憶錄帶在了自己的身邊，但我敢肯定的是他隨時都帶著自己檔案館的通行證。在他的艦船殘骸裡找找，看有沒有任何東西看上去像是可以用來進入檔案館的。
任務完成
Arsten Takalo : So things spiraled out of control in there. Don't stress it, <玩家名稱>. It was to be expected, and if it wasn't you out there, it'd be Republic Fleet vessels with clone-less crews. You did a good thing, don't doubt it for a second.
Hopefully the foreign press will let this one slide, they've got enough of us in their own borders to sit on it, but there's always a few. So long as the big outlets hold their tongues I'm happy.
Here's your ISK back, plus some extra as thanks. Don't blow it all away though, you'll be doing other work that requires collateral. I may be starting to respect you, but trust is a damn long way off. We'll need a moment to pass this on to our friends from the University, but they've asked us to hang around, and by us, they mean you.
Arsten Takalo : 看來事情還是失控了。別太在意了，<玩家名稱>。我們本來就料到會這樣，要不是你，那我們就得派克隆飛行員不多的共和艦隊的士兵出動了。你做了件正確的事，別懷疑自己了。
但願外媒會讓這件事沉下去。他們自己國家內已經有很多我們自己人可供他們做新聞題材。雖然期望所有的外媒都對此事保持沉默也不現實，但只要一些大媒體對此緘口不言就行了。
現在我把這些押金還給你，外加一些你應該獲得的酬勞。但別把他們都花光了，你將來可能還要接一些需要押金的活兒。我現在或許已經對你起了敬意，但要說信任那還差遠了。我們要稍微花點時間把消息通報給我們大學裡的朋友，但他們也要求我們先別走。他們指的我們中也包括你。
任務目標
NPC：傭兵團
目標：1 x Hauteker Memoirs
獎勵：400萬，6小時內解完追加126萬

任務內容
這個任務 NPC 的賞金不是很多，BS 的賞金只有25萬，CR 的賞金只有8-9萬，雖說賞金不高，但近戰火力強大，所有船艦在進入15Km 以後的火力可以讓我 Golem 的防禦系統感到吃力。進場時會有一艘沒有賞金的 Thorax，只要他一遭受攻擊，在距離任務信標 90Km 處就會出現第一波增援艦隊，艦隊組成為 5艘BS、6艘CR、5艘FR。殲滅第一波增援艦隊後，將沒有賞金的 Thorax 打進裝甲時，同第一波出現的地方就會出第二波增援艦隊，艦隊組成為 6艘BS、6艘CR。擊破 Thorax 之後會掉一個箱子，把箱子中的鑰匙放入空間中一個名叫 Archives 的箱子裡，就會出現任務道具 Hauteker Memoirs，帶回 Agent 處回報任務，任務完成。
