Kaida

Kaida's science equipment keeps getting messed up by the local wildlife and she is hoping the player can scare them off for her. The requirements of this quest will change with the ships location. Kaida will only request the player zap creeps of the planet the ship is orbiting when the quest is obtained. The number of creeps requested to kill will also vary, with easy creeps requiring between four and twelve and harder creeps requiring between two and five. This also means that the reward for this mission varies based on the amount of enemies the player needs to zap.

The bulletin board can be found to the right of Chip's Canteen on the plaza deck (04). Every few days the bulletin board will have a marker above it, letting the player know there is a new request to pick up. There are three types of bulletin missions: to kill enemies, to find a certain type of microbe, or to bring various items to the character who posted the request.

Overview

1. Pick up the quest from the bulletin board.
2. Go down to the planets surface and zap the requested wildlife.
3. Turn in to Kaida

Walkthrough

Bulletin Board

When this mission is selected, the player will see a generic bulletin request that says:

Hey Crew,

If anyone could help run off some of the local wildlife I'd appreciate it. They keep disrupting and stealing my science equipment.

Thanks,
Kaida

The quest can choose from any of the enemies that are on the planet the spaceship is currently orbiting. The number of enemies the player must zap is chosen by the difficulty of the creep, the player will always get a number within this kill range. The reward range in the below table is calculated off of the kill range. The player can calculate their specific reward using this formula: $(20*numberOfEnemies)*1.5=creditReward$

Zapping Creeps

The player will then need to make sure they have their laser blaster and journey to their space shuttle on deck 06, the cargo and shuttle bay. Once at their shuttle they need to select one of the exploration levels. The player can jump between the check-point levels to refresh which enemies are on that level, or they can choose to push through the levels as normal.

If the player speaks with Kaida while this mission is active, she will say:

Oh great, you accepted my bulletin request. Well, see what you can do to scare off those little guys.

Every time they knock over or steal one of my instruments, I end up analyzing all kinds of bad data.

The player can open the mission log, on the left side of the screen, at any time to check their progress. Once the player has zapped enough of the requested creeps, the mission log icon will have a green check mark on it. It is suggested the player confirms they completed this specific mission, as the green check mark just tells the player that one of their current missions are complete.

Turn In

Once the player has zapped all of the creeps, they need to return to Kaida. When the player speaks with her, the quest will automatically turn in and she will say:

You finish my bulletin request? Awesome. Hopefully you gave them a good enough scare to keep their distance.

I'm not holding my breath though...

The player will then automatically obtain their  credits reward, based off the number of creeps they killed.
