To start the mission, we entered the space around Kumasi I-a, a moon of Kumasi I in the Kumasi System, and encountered an enemy ship.
Juno’s Gambit Walkthrough
DESTROY Ecliptic Ship
Take out the Ecliptic ship then dock on the Mysterious Ship.
Investigate Voices on Board
After docking, board the ship then explore it.
Talk to Ryujin Operatives
Speak with Operative Khambatta. If you’ve started the Ryujin Industries quest line, you’ll be able to tell them that you’re an operative, too! Exhaust all the dialog.
Talk to Juno
Interact with the Juno Probe. You’ll need to make a decision: “You are a person, with your own thoughts and desires.” or “You are a machine, made of electronics and programmed by code.” Your choice here really doesn’t matter. Afterwards, you’ll need to make another decision:
Attach control board
If you choose to attach the control board, interact with Juno again. She’ll beg you not to as she doesn’t want to change. Afterwards, you’ll need to speak with Operative Khambatta. Next, leave the ship and undock. Back away from the ship and observe what happens to Juno and your fellow operatives…Juno disabled the oxygen and life support then warped away with them still on board. The mission will complete and you’ll receive 200 XP and some credits.
Deal with Ryujin Operatives
If you deal with the guys, you’ll convince them to leave the AI alone and will agree to give them a ride back to Neon. Afterwards, speak with Juno again. She’ll reassure you that you’ll meet again. Next, return to your ship and undock. Back away from the ship and observe Juno. She says she has much to process and needs time to think alone. When she warps away, make your way to Neon in the Volii System. Once you land on Neon, the quest will complete. As a reward, you’ll receive 200 XP and more credits than the above option.
