How to Start the Red Tape Reclamation Mission
Red Tape Reclamation is one of the missions you can pick up in Cydonia. You’ll automatically begin this quest after completing the Red Tape Runaround mission.
Red Tape Reclamation Walkthrough
Speak with Trevor
Head down to the mining area and speak with Trevor who will have another problem he needs your help with. Agree to look for the missing guy then exit Cydonia and head to the Ship Services Tech near the Spaceport.
If this is an NG+ run, you’ll have a special option when speaking with Trevor that will alert you to skip to the Speak with Trevor objective below.
Speak with Ship Services
Exit Cydonia. After the long hallway, take a right. Head down the ramp and speak with the Ship Services Technician outside a small building. Tell him that you’re looking for information on Hank Ferraro.
Speak with Trevor
Head back inside and speak with Trevor. Tell him that you’ll look for the missing equipment.
Find Hank Ferraro
We found Hank in the bar on the surface level of Cydonia, but you might need to mark the quest as active to find him since he might move around. You’ll need to ask him about the new equipment. He’ll admit that he took the equipment to get out of his contract. You can tell him it was a terrible plan or ask him to hand the equipment over to you. Either way, he’ll tell you he’ll lead you to the equipment.
Follow Hank
Follow Hank out to the middle of nowhere. Of course, when you arrive at the ship, he’ll pull a gun on you. Either persuade him to stand down or attack him. If you persuade him, you can turn him into Booth in security. If you kill him, it’s simple… he dies!
Again, if this is an NG+ run, you’ll have a special option when Hank pulls his gun that forces him to surrender. You’ll then be able to make him do what you want.
Speak with Trevor
Report back to Trevor. No matter your decision with Hank, you’ll receive the Deimos Spacesuit, Deimos Balanced Pack, Deimos Space Helmet, Deimos Cap, Iron x50, some credits, and 100 XP.
