Welcome to our guide for the On the Run mission in Starfield! On the Run is one of the faction missions you’ll have to complete during the Freestar Collective questline. You’ll get this mission automatically after completing the Shadow In Neon mission.
Go to Red mile
Set a course for Red Mile which is located in the Porrima System on planet Porrima III. After landing, head inside and speak with Autumn MacMillan at the bar. Ain’t she a real peach? After the conversation, follow behind and sit at the table with her contact. This will begin a conversation resulting in you getting to run the Red Mile (yay!).
Talk to Mei Devine
Head over to Mei near the entrance of the bar to have a little chat. You can ask her about the history of the Red Mile but what you’re really after it Marco. If you agree to enter the Red Mile, she will gladly give you Marco. Tell her whenever you’re ready to go to start the Red Mile. Follow her to the red door then listen to her speech. When it’s over the door opens up and it’s showtime!
Run the Red Mile
To beat Red Mile, you’ll need to run to the southern part of the course and press a red button. Between you and the button is a ton of maulers that will attack you on sight. Oh and after you press the red button, more spawn and Mei will tell you that you need to make it back to the entrance to win. So book it back north and reach the elevator to be done. The jetpack can come in handy here to help you cover more ground.
Once you complete the Red Mile, speak with Mei again. She’ll keep to her word by setting up a meeting with Marco for you. Head over to Ranger MacMillan and talk with her as well then return to Mei who will give you Marcos coordinates.
Go to Codos
Return to the ship and set a course for Codos in the Cheyenne System (it’s one of the moons that orbit Akila) where you’ll want to land at Fortuna.
Approach the ship then head inside and make your way to the back of the ship to find Marco. Speak with him then show your badge and say you’re looking for answers. He will tell you who the boss is and say he’ll give you more information if you allow him to operate without interference from the Rangers. You can agree to his demands, he will attack you or you can attack him.
If you choose to agree to his demands, then he will hand over the slate and you’ll leave. Later when talking with Emma and the Marshal, they will say it’s up to you to keep his nose clean. If you decide to attack him, then you’ll have to fight your way through all of the mercs on the ship. Kill him first and the turret in his office. You can then use a keycard on Marco (along with the slate you need for the mission) to open his vault which contains a lot of goodies. There is also a terminal in there you can use to have the turrets attack everyone.
Give the Encrypted Slate to Alex Shadid
Head back to the Rock in Akila City and hand the slate over to Alex. This will complete the mission and you’ll be rewarded with 350 EXP and 7300 credits.
