==Walkthrough==
==Walkthrough==
Upon hearing a job advertisement for [[Ryujin Industries]] while wandering the neon-lit streets of either [[Neon City]] in [[Neon Core]] or [[New Atlantis]] in the [[Commercial District]], you decide to explore the opportunity. Locate the Ryujin Industries [[Kiosk]] to get the ball rolling; it's hard to miss, highlighted with bright holographic advertisements, all bustling with futuristic aesthetic.


Once you interact with the kiosk, you'll receive a [[mission]] called "[[Back to the Grind]]." Your first objective is to proceed to the [[UC Vigilance]], which is floating next to [[Mars]] in the [[Sol System]]. Open your map and use the [[Grav Jump]] feature to reach the UC Vigilance. Upon arrival, you'll need to hail the ship and dock your [[starship]]—a series of intuitive button prompts should see you through this without issue.
==Tips and Tricks==
*You don't need to provide the best answers at the [[Kiosk]] or during the interview to get the job.
*If [[Sarah]] is with you and you decide to kill [[Tomo]], she will not approve.
*You will get promoted to [[Junior Operative]] whether you tell [[Imogene]] the truth about [[Tomo]] or not.


Stepping out of your ship, you'll encounter a [[Sysdef Guard]] stationed near the entrance. Speak to him to ask for the whereabouts of [[Commander Ikande]]. The guard will then lead you through the labyrinthine corridors of the [[UC Vigilance]], taking you to an elevator in the back left of the ship. Follow him into the elevator and select the [[Operations Center]] as your destination. The elevator hums quietly as it takes you to the Operations Center, where Commander Ikande awaits.
==Objectives==
===Apply for a Job at a Ryujin Industries Kiosk===
*Use a [[Ryujin Industries]] [[Kiosk]]. You can find a Kiosk at [[Neon City]] in [[Neon Core]] or at [[New Atlantis]] in the [[Commercial District]] in near [[GalBank]].


As you enter the Operations Center, approach [[Commander Ikande]] standing in the middle of the room filled with holo-screens and personnel buzzing about. A dialogue ensues where he briefs you on your mission to infiltrate the [[Crimson Fleet]]. Before you leave, he directs you to speak with [[Lieutenant Toft]], who's standing to the right in the same room. Upon conversing with her, she hands over a decoy shipment of a material called [[Aurora]].
[[File:Starfield_BackToTheGrindKiosk_EN.jpg|400px]]
*Select Job Application and answer each question.


With the decoy shipment in tow, open your map again and use the Grav Jump to reach [[Mars]], specifically landing at a location called [[Cydonia]]. Upon landing, navigate through the dusty Martian streets until you see a sign for the [[Trade Authority]]. Inside, speak to [[Saoirse Bowden]] who is standing to the left in the lobby. Through a bit of [[persuasion]], she'll agree to help you sell the shipment and gives you the name of someone who can assist you further, [[Adler Kemp]].
[[File:Starfield_BackToTheGrindJobApplication_EN.jpg|400px]]
 
To find Adler, leave the Trade Authority and head down a ramp, then make a right turn to get to a location called the [[Broken Spear]]. Adler is located here, and he'll present you with a task: to recover a debt from someone named [[Karl Fielding]]. Leave the Broken Spear and head to the [[Residential District]] of Cydonia. Following the marker, you'll find Karl sitting on the ground. You're given multiple options to deal with him—either [[persuade]] him to give you the money, pay off his debt yourself, or take a more aggressive approach.
 
After handling Karl's situation, return to [[Adler Kemp]] at the Broken Spear. Hand over the debt payment, and Adler will express his approval. He then tells you that if you're interested in this line of work, you should meet the Crimson Fleet's second-in-command, [[Naeva Mora]]. At this point, the mission concludes, rewarding you with 250 E[[XP]] and 4000 credits, along with unlocking the achievement "Back to the Grind."
 
And there you have it, the completion of your first Ryujin Industries Mission. The path is now set for you to proceed to the next mission, "One Step Ahead," diving deeper into the universe's tangled web of opportunities and threats.
 
==Tips and Tricks==
*An easy way to get this [[mission]] is to complete the first two missions of [[the Vanguard]] [[faction]].
