Welcome to our walkthrough for the Red Tape Blues mission in Starfield! Red Tape Blues is one of the misc missions you can pick up at 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.
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 travel to Luna orbiting Earth in the Sol System to mine some up. The objective to mime ore has you staying in the Cydonia to mine the ore, but the ore deposits don’t always spawn in. If you scan Mars, iron doesn’t even show up as a resource for the planet.
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. For us, no prompt appeared to land so we had to get a little creative! When you get close, scan the station then press A (making sure the Station’s info is the one that is on screen and not a 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” then apply for the job. Keep in mind that 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’ll need to wait until she leaves. To easily pass the time, just sit at the receptionist’s empty chair and wait (they left for us at 17:22 local time). When you’re able, log into her computer and delete all the other job applicants. Make sure to not 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.
