Talk to Officer Yi in Security.

  • Ask Officer Irving Yi about the Ordnance Patrol job.

Officer Irving Yi says: This station has a long history of conflict, some of it more recent that we'd like. Despite our best efforts insurgents keep trying to 'free' us from our place in the Consortium.

He scowls.

Officer Irving Yi says: Since they can't beat us directly, they resort to cowardly acts. Bombs, traps, things they can hide for some poor child to stumble across and lose a leg. Go run a patrol through the station's vital areas. If you find anything, report its position back to me so we can dispatch a disposal squad.

Search the Market, Port, Sick Bay, or Cloning Vats for explosive devices.

Congratulations!
