The Empty Nest, Starfield Mission

1. Talk to Sam Coe

Sarah Morgan wants me to join an expedition headed up by Sam Coe, another Constellation member. We'll be going to Freestar Collective space.

Head to the greenhouse area and speak with Sam who is waiting for you there with his daughter Cora.

2. Travel to Akila City

Sam Coe and his daughter Cora will be coming with me to Akila City. They'll be passengers on my ship until we get there.

Travel to Cheyenne System > Akila > Akila City.

3. Talk to Sam

Talk to Sam who will be waiting for you at the spaceship landing. Sam will explain to you how things are going and what you need to do. From this point on, Sam will be your companion.

4. Go to the GalBank Vault

Sam Coe will be coming with me until we find the Artifact on Akila. First stop is GalBank to find his ancestor Solomon's maps.

Move towards the town and the bank. At the gate a guard will stop you and inform you about the problem with the bank. You will receive a new mission "Job Gone Wrong".

5. Complete "Job Gone Wrong"

There's trouble at GalBank. Sam and I won't be able to get Solomon's maps until after the robbers are dealt with.

Complete the mission "Job Gone Wrong" thanks to which you will get rid of the robbers seizing the bank.

6. Go to the GalBank Vault / Search for the Maps

The robbery at GalBank has been dealt with. Sam and I should be able to get Solomon's maps now.

When you go down to the vault, Sam will give you a card that opens a few lockers. Find the note for Sam in one of them.

7. Talk to Sam

The note was left by Jacob. You can try to persuade Sam to tell you who he is. Then you will find out that it is his father with whom he does not have the best relations.

8. Talk to Jacob

Solomon's maps weren't in GalBank. Someone named Jacob got to them first, and he's waiting for Sam to come talk to him at the Coe Estate.

Head to Coe Estate. Wait for Sam and his father to finish talking and then it's up to you to talk to Jacob. No matter what you say, he will not be willing to hand you the maps.

9. Talk to Sam

Talk to Sam about the options you have to get the maps. No matter what you choose, they will all be available.

We need to get Solomon's Maps from Jacob Coe. I could try talking to him, or I could set up a distraction with Sam, or maybe we can ask Cora for help.

10. Get the Maps

The maps can be acquired in three ways.

10.1. (Optional) Talk to Jacob and Persuade Him

Try to persuade him to give you the maps. When you succeed in doing so he will give you a key to unlock his office.

The maps lie on a small cabinet standing next to the desk.

10.2. (Optional) Talk to Jacob and Have Sam Distract Him

You can choose to distract Jabob by Sam. Jacob will step aside but the door is locked so you have to pick the lock (Novice) to get inside.

10.3. (Optional) Ask Cora for Help

The third way is to return to the startport and ask Cora for help.

She will run to her grandfather's house and Jacob will give you the maps in exchange for being able to spend some time with his granddaughter. In this case you won't even have to enter his office.

11. Talk to Sam

This is a good time to pick up the "Solomon's Adventure 01" magazine that sits on the bedroom nightstand.

We have Solomon's Maps. I should talk to Sam.

Again, talk to Sam. He will analyze the maps and figure out where you should go.

12. Travel to the Empty Nest

Solomon's maps are pointing us to a cave inside of Shaw Gang territory, on the frontier of Akila.

13. Get the Artifact

In the camp you will come across several gang members as well as guard turrets and a combat robot. When you get rid of them then enter the mine.

There are more enemies inside the mine. Deal with them and take the key from the corpse of one of them.

This key will allow you to open the gate located further down the mine

Walking through the tunnels you will eventually reach the artifact. Take it.

14. Leave the Hideout / Deal with Shaw

We have the Artifact. Time to get back to the Lodge.

Go outside the mine. the gang leader Shaw will be waiting for you outside. You can try to persuade her, bribe her (4000 Credits) or start fighting her and her men.

15. (Optional) Kill the Ashta / (Optional) Talk to Shaw

After talking to Shaw, the camp will be attacked by several animals. You can help kill all of Ashta,...

...and then talk to Shaw again, who will give you a weapon and some ammunition as a reward for your help.

16. Return to the Lodge / Add the Artifact / Wait for Sam

Head back to the Lodge, interact with the pedestal to place the artifact, and wait for Sam to finish speaking.

17. Talk to Sam

To finish this quest talk to Sam. You will receive: 385 XP, 7200 Credits, Sam Coe available as a companion, Modified Calibrated Rattler, .27 Caliber ammo.

The Artifact has been added to the collection. Sam and Cora Coe have offered to travel with me again in the future.
