The Best There Is Mission Guide
Meet Naeva and Jasmine on the Key
For The Best There Is Starfield mission, you’ll need to travel to the Key in the Kryx System. Once you arrive, head to Ship Services and speak with Naeva.
Meet Huan Daiyu in New Atlantis
Travel to New Atlantis then head to the Well. Make your way to the eating area above Kay’s House to find Huan. Speak with the smuggler then head downstairs to Kay’s kitchen to find the Huan’s Talk (Evidence) on a counter in the kitchen.
Return to the spaceport and board her ship, the Jade Swan. Cimb up to the cockpit and speak with Huna there. She’ll give you the low down then tell you once you leave, you can’t come back until the mission is done. Tell her when you’re ready to go.
Board SY-920
After the ship docks at the station, speak with Huan to learn some more about it then board SY-920.
Gain Access to Barracks to Find a Uniform
Once on SY-920, head to the northeastern part of the cargo bay. Take the elevator there down.
Head straight and look to the right to spot an orange door at the top of some stairs with an intercom nearby. Interact with the intercom to call the captain then listen to the UC Cargo Haulers to learn that Elijah dropped his key.
Speak with him on the southwestern part of the building then head to the forklift to spot the SY-920 Maintenance Keycard next to a guard. You’ll need to speak with him to make him move then you can collect the keycard. Go back to the orange door near the intercom and use the keycard to open it.
Remember for this part you must be sneaky! Save often in case you get caught! Head down the hallway and enter the storage room. From there you can access the vents following them up a ramp to reach a bathroom. Exit the bathroom then take a right down the hall followed by a left. Enter the first room on the right to find the uniform on a desk.
Make sure to equip it so you no longer have to be stealthy. Exit the room taking a right then follow the hallway around. You should reach a set of stairs leading to the Lounge and Mess Hall. Head down the stairs then follow the path until you reach the split. With the Mess Hall on your right, go left to the Secure Access door past the Cargo Bay. When stopped by the guard, tell him you are reporting for duty. He will let you through.
Head over to the Command Bay elevator and interact with the card reader. Ride the elevator then use the nearby intercom to call Huan. There are two ways to do this next part. You can use a clearance code to reach the Archives by passing through the Operations Center or you can sneak to the Archives using the vents.
Access Code Route
Head for the Security Room. If you get stopped by a guard, you’ll need to persuade them to let you go.
Once you’re in Security, hack the novice lock on the Clearance Code Computer. You’ll need to grab the code based on the last name of the uniform you’re wearing. Ours was Ensign Ziremi’s Uniform so the code is ZX321D. Use that code to access the Operations Center. Cross the room to reach the Archives and head inside.
Vent Route
Look for the Utility Room next to the Operations Center then head inside.
Climb up the stairs in the back of the room to find the vent. Follow the shaft to reach the rafters over the operation room. You can then follow the rafters to reach another vent that will end up in the Archives.
Locate the ComSpike
Once in the Archives, use the Data Access Computer in the back of the room and select UCE-86 ComSpike. Make sure to go through all of the options so you can upgrade your clearance level. You’ll then need to return to the elevators and take the one to Engineering Bay 4. You can use the intercom there to speak with Huan once more.
Afterwards, head down to Room 04. Make sure to grab the Eubanks & Woods (Evidence) on a crate in the back of the room then speak with Dr. Gabriel Vogel.
He’ll tell you that the ComSpike is actually a ship. You’ll then be able to persuade him to let you test pilot it or you can betray Huan and use that as a chance to sneak out with it.
Betray Huan
Doctor Vogel will alert the Commander to find and detain Huan. In the back room where you located the Eubanks & Wood (Evidence), enter the vent to find a locker room on the other side. Retrieve the SY-920 Pilot’s Space Suit from the bench and equip it.
Make your way to the docking port and enter the Prototype Ship parked at Docking Port 8. Afterwards, return to the Key! Surprise!!! Huan is waiting in the Operations Center and boy will you get an earful! She of course won’t trust you anymore. With your tail between your legs, head upstairs and speak with Del. He on the other hand doesn’t seem to care that you ratted Huan out to Dr. Vogel.
Persuade
If you persuade him, he’ll give you a password. Make sure to collect and equip the SY-920 Pilot’s Space Suit from the location shown above. When stopped by security, tell them your flight has been approved. Head across the room to the Flight Control room.
Go up the stairs and use the terminal to add the ComSpike to the test flight list. You’ll then be free to head to Docking Port 8 and board the Prototype Ship. Jump in the pilot’s seat, undock from the station and deliver it to the Key. Once on the Key, head to the Last Nova and locate Huan by the bar. Speak with her to get that drink then head to the Operations Center and speak with Delgado. Huan apparently sung nothing but praises about us to them and Del congratulates us on a job well done.
Proceed to the UC Vigilance
After your conversation with Del, return to the UC Vigilance to update the commander. This will complete the Best There Is Starfield mission and you’ll be rewarded with 250 EXP and some credits.
