How to Start the Red Tape Blues Mission
Red Tape Blues is one of the missions you can pick up in Cydonia. To start it, speak with Trevor Petyarre, who we found just after entering Cydonia. He might also be located in the mining section of the Central Hub area. He’ll need you to collect 10 units of Iron.
Red Tape Blues Walkthrough
Deposit 10 Units of Iron
Make your way down to the mining area in the Central Hub and search for a red Deposit Bin. Once you’ve found it, place the Iron inside. If you don’t have any Iron, you can mine it in the immediate area.
Speak with Trevor
Return to Trevor and tell him that you dropped off the ore as requested.
Apply for the Assistant to the Director Job
Head back to your ship and leave the planet. Back out to the solar system view and travel to the Deimos Starstation, which is right next to Mars. Fly your ship towards the objective. When you get close, scan the station, then press A (making sure the station’s info is the one on screen and not the surrounding ship’s). After pressing A, hold X to land.
Once you’ve officially docked, board the Starstation, then interact with the kiosk in the room. Select “Job Posting: Executive Assistant” and apply for the job. Your responses do not matter!
Speak with Trevor
Return to Cydonia and speak with Trevor.
Delete the Other Candidates’ Applications
Head upstairs to the Main Level and enter the Deimos Staryard Corporate Quarters. If Tia is at her computer in one of the cubicles, you must wait until she leaves. To pass the time easily, sit in the receptionist’s empty chair and wait (they left for us at 17:22 local time). Log into her computer and delete all the other job applicants when possible. Make sure not to delete your own!
Speak with Trevor
With your task complete, return to Trevor to hear the good news. As a reward for a job well done, you’ll receive 100 EXP and some credits. You’ll also automatically receive the next mission called Red Tape Runaround.
