==Walkthrough==
==Walkthrough==
You've just touched down on Freya III as part of your "Final Glimpses" questline, and your scanner pings an intriguing distress signal from Nishina Research Station. Fly over and land at the designated landing zone to investigate.
As you descend onto [[Freya III]], your [[scanner]] picks up a distress signal from the [[Nishina Research Station]]. Intrigued, you fly over and land at the designated landing zone to investigate. Upon exiting your [[ship]], you're immediately struck by the alien landscape but push forward towards the Nishina Research Station. The ominous atmosphere fills you with a sense of foreboding. You approach the station's intercom to announce your arrival, and you're granted immediate access. The doors hiss open.


Exiting your ship, you're immediately struck by the alien landscape but push forward towards the Nishina Research Station. The ominous atmosphere fills you with a sense of foreboding. Your companion remains in the ship, leaving you to handle this mission solo. Approach the station's intercom to announce your arrival, and you're granted immediate access. The doors hiss open.
Inside, you're greeted by [[Ethan]]. After exchanging pleasantries and asking a few questions, you follow him deeper into the labyrinthine corridors of the research station. Suddenly, the surroundings blur and you're transported to a ruined, apocalyptic version of the station. Alien creatures jump out from crevices and corners, launching a surprise attack. You dispatch them, and just as abruptly, you're warped back beside Ethan, who's as baffled as you are.


Once inside, Ethan greets you. After the usual pleasantries and your choice of additional questions, you follow him deeper into the labyrinthine corridors of the research station. Suddenly, the surroundings blur and you're transported to a ruined, apocalyptic version of the station. Alien creatures jump out from crevices and corners, launching a surprise attack. Dispatch them, and just as abruptly, you're warped back beside Ethan, who's as baffled as you are.
You continue to follow Ethan, feeling a little disoriented, when you're transported again, this time meeting [[Rafael]]—the person who actually sent the distress signal. After a perplexing conversation with him, you find yourself back in the hallway with Ethan. You're now suspicious of what's really happening here but continue forward to meet [[Director Patel]].

Chat with him and you'll suddenly find yourself back in the hallway with Ethan. You're now suspicious of what's really happening here but continue forward to meet Director Patel.
Walking through a series of hallways, you're intermittently warped into that grim, destroyed universe, battling [[hostile]] aliens along the way. When you finally meet Director Patel, you discuss the bizarre events. She's surprisingly calm, and directs you to follow [[Maria]] to the lab.

Your journey with Maria is cut short when you're hurled back into the alternate universe. You explore some side rooms, fighting more alien creatures, and find Rafael again. After another perplexing conversation, he gives you a key for the pantry, aiding your progress. You warp a few more times, spooking other station employees, until you find yourself in the security office with Ethan. A [[persuasion]] check here could snag you a unique [[weapon]].

Pressing onward, you pass through more doors and fight more creatures. Eventually, you reach a large room with a door marked "Emergency." Make your way through it to find the Lab on the second floor. Speak to Maria once you're inside. She's working on calibrating a probe to stabilize the distortions. When prompted, you stand in the appearing distortion.

Depending on your choice of universe, you either meet with Director Patel or Rafael to conclude the mission. If you chose to stick with the universe where Rafael exists, he offers to join you back to your ship and can be recruited later at Viewport in New Atlantis.

==Tips and Tricks==
*[[Containers]] and [[items]] can be looted in the same places in both dimensions. (Double the loot!)
*This [[mission]] has a variety of choices in it that may make the order of the method to complete it different.


==Objectives==
==Objectives==
===1. Investigate the distress signal===
===Investigate the Distress Signal===
*As you enter the [[Freya III]]'s orbit you will hear a distress signal over the radio.
 
[[File:Starfield_Entangled1_EN.jpg|400px]]
*Land at the [[Nishina Research Station]], from where the distress signal is coming from.
 
[[File:Starfield_Entangled2_EN.jpg|400px]]
*Walk towards the buildings where the [[mission]] marker is.
 
[[File:Starfield_Entangled3_EN.jpg|400px]]
*Walk up to the right of the large elevator and take the stairs going up.
 
[[File:Starfield_Entangled4_EN.jpg|400px]]
*Grab the loot on the right of the path under the overhang.
 
[[File:Starfield_Entangled5_EN.jpg|400px]]
*Walk up to the door to the [[Nishina Research Lab]].
 
[[File:Starfield_Entangled6_EN.jpg|400px]]
*The door will be locked but if you select the radio next to the door you can speak to someone to ask them to let you in. The owner of the voice is [[Ethan Hughes]], who tells you that they did not send a distress signal.
 
[[File:Starfield_Entangled7_EN.jpg|400px]]
*After a bit of convincing [[Ethan]] will let you in.
 
===Enter the Nishina Research Station===
*Enter the [[Research Station]] through the door.
 
[[File:Starfield_Entangled8_EN.jpg|400px]]
*You will walk into an enclosed room with a window on the left. [[Ethan]] will wave at you and open the security door.
 
[[File:Starfield_Entangled9_EN.jpg|400px]]
 
===Speak to Ethan===
*Speak with [[Ethan]] once the door is open.
 
[[File:Starfield_Entangled10_EN.jpg|400px]]

===Follow Ethan===
*Follow [[Ethan]] to the [[Director]]'s office.
 
[[File:Starfield_Entangled11_EN.jpg|400px]]
*After walking a ways you will suddenly be transported to a different area. You will notice that this place looks nothing like where you just were, and [[Ethan]] is no longer with you.
 
===Explore the Ruins===
*Walk to the formation in front of you, where the [[mission]] marker is.
 
[[File:Starfield_Entangled12_EN.jpg|400px]]

*Follow him into the next room and you will be transported back to the ruins.
 
[[File:Starfield_Entangled16_EN.jpg|400px]]

[[File:Starfield_Entangled17_EN.jpg|400px]]
*Tell him that you were just with Ethen and [[Rafael]] will explain that there was an explosion and he is the only survivor. Apparently they were studying [[Gravitational Distortion]] when the explosion happened and that [[Ethan]] is dead.
 
===Speak to Director Patel===
*Halfway through your conversation [[Rafael]] will be cut off and you will be transported back to [[Ethan]] again.
*Continue to follow him and you will be transported back to the ruins.
 
[[File:Starfield_Entangled18_EN.jpg|400px]]

[[File:Starfield_Entangled20_EN.jpg|400px]]
 
[[File:Starfield_Entangled21_EN.jpg|400px]]
*Tell [[Director Patel]] and her assistant [[Maria]] about the [[Artifact]]s and that you are shifting in between two very different versions of the [[Research Station]]. Together you will formulate a plan to stop the explosion. The next step is to find your way through the facility to the lab.
 
[[File:Starfield_Entangled22_EN.jpg|400px]]
