How to Start the Rough Landings Mission
Rough Landings is one of the misc missions you can pick up in Akila City on planet Akila of the Cheyenne System. You’ll pick up this quest after overhearing a member of the local security force talk about how rough of a time the Jansen family is having.
Rough Landings Walkthrough
Talk to Marko Jansen
Marko can be found at his house along the northeastern wall down the street from Aggie’s. Speak with him about his family’s woes then offer to help. He’ll ask you to chat with his wife’s cousin Milena Axelrod.
Meet Up with Milena Axelrod
To reach Milena, you’ll need to head back out to space and travel to the planet in the Cheyenne System that she’s orbiting. After reaching the planet’s orbit, you’ll be attacked by 3 ships of the Crimson Fleet. Defeat them then the Dalliance will send you a message giving you permission to board.
Once you’re on the ship, speak with Milena and tell her that Marko sent you to ask for help. She’ll say she would be happy to…after you clear her from the blacklist. You can do this one of two ways. You enlist the help of Tom Starrett (Trade Authority Fixer) or speak with Mayor Cartwright directly.
Tom Starret
Tom can be found around the southern part of the city near the soccer field. Speak with him asking for his help with Milena. You’ll be able to purchase a set of credentials that will allow her unlimited access to the city as long as she keeps her head down for 1,000 credits.
Mayor Elias Cartwright
The Mayor can be found close to the Coe estate. Speak with him about it and he’ll agree to remove her from the blacklist if you pay her bounty of 5000 credits. If you can pass a persuasion check, then he’ll give her a second chance at no cost to you!
Report Back to Marko Jensen
Regardless of how you do it, report back to Marko once Milena has been removed from the blacklist. This will complete the mission and you’ll be awarded with 75 EXP and some credits.
