Mission Walkthrough

Walkthrough: The “Unearthed” mission follows the completion of the “In Their Footsteps” mission. At the end of “In Their Footsteps,” the Emissary provides you with a key to an Artifact and instructs you to investigate Earth’s Moon (Luna) for more information.

Head to the Sol System and land on the Nova Galactic Research Station located on the moon Luna.
Investigate the Research Station by entering the station with the Moon Base Key provided by the Emissary.
As you progress through the station, look for the airlock on your left. Unlock it using the Moon Base Key.
Continue exploring the station and gather supplies from storage boxes.
Locate a computer within the station, which contains information about the Nova Galactic Research. It reveals details about Project Prism.
Head to the roof of the research station, following the objective marker.
Play the recording on the roof to gather more information.
Travel to the NASA Launch Tower on planet Earth.
Upon arrival at the NASA Launch Tower, find a way to enter the facility.
Enter NASA and explore the facility.
Search for information about NASA, the Martian sample, the prototype Grav Drive, and Grav Drive side effects by accessing the relevant computer terminals.
Release the Artifact located at the core of the machinery in NASA.
Leave NASA and head back outside.
Talk to the Emissary, who will be waiting for you on Earth. Discuss your findings with her.
You will learn about the consequences of the Artifact’s use in advancing space travel technology, the impact on Earth, and the importance of gathering all the Artifacts. You’ll have the option to align with the Emissary’s viewpoint, the Hunter’s viewpoint, or choose a neutral stance.
Regardless of your choice, you’ll be informed about a final showdown at The Buried Temple, where all parties with collected Artifacts will converge for a decisive confrontation.
The completion of the “Unearthed” mission will prompt you to finish “Final Glimpses” if you haven’t already. To start the next main mission, “Revelation,” you will need to complete “Final Glimpses,” “Missed Beyond Measure,” and “Unearthed.”
