As you begin the game, you'll find yourself in a lengthy elevator descent, accompanied by chatter about mining from a couple of characters. Once the elevator comes to a halt, you're free to move. Follow [[Supervisor Lin]] as she takes the lead through the mining tunnel.
AThe mission "One Small Step" begins with a lengthy elevator descent, during which you'll hear chatter about mining from a couple of characters. Once the elevator stops, you're free to move. Follow [[Supervisor Lin]] as she leads the way through the mining tunnel.


[[Supervisor Lin]] pauses and instructs you to pick up the Cutter from a nearby crate. Interact with the crate to grab the [[Cutter]], holding down the interaction button to equip it immediately. Now armed, proceed to a designated section in the tunnel with marked spots for mineral deposits. Use your newly acquired Cutter to shoot at these marks and mine [[Beryllium]]. Five spots are there; make sure to mine them all.

After you've collected the [[mineral deposits]], head back to [[Supervisor Lin]] and continue following her through the tunnel. Your journey will take you to a large machine drilling into a cavern wall. Here, Lin and another character, [[Heller]], guide you to explore the cavern ahead.

In this new area, you'll encounter a cavern with a peculiar rock at its center. Use your Cutter to break up the deposits around this centerpiece. Once cleared, interact with an object embedded in the wall for a scripted scene.

Dialogues open up after character customization. While dialogue options generally don't affect the main story, they can provide additional information. Feel free to engage in these dialogues as you like. Continue following [[Supervisor Lin]] and, before stepping out into the open, make sure to equip your [[Deep Mining Space Helmet]] from your inventory.

Meeting with the client happens next. Wait at the ship for Barrett to appear and speak to both Lin and you. However, just as you're getting acquainted, pirates crash the party. A nearby marker will guide you to a crate containing a pistol. Equip this from your inventory to deal with the pirate invaders more effectively than with your Cutter.

Upon dispatching two more enemy ships, you're directed to the Starmap. Choose Kreet, a moon, as your destination and fast-travel there. Land at the Kreet Research Base and make your way downhill. A Scanner tutorial will pop up, teaching you how to identify various resources and entities on the planet.

Inside the [[Research Base]], you'll have to deal with [[Crimson Fleet]] members. Navigate through the base, eliminating enemies and looting weapons. A ladder at the end will take you up to the rooftop for the final confrontation. Here, you can either persuade the Captain to leave or engage in combat.

Once the Captain and their crew are dealt with, head back to your ship. If you'd like, you can continue exploring [[Kreet]] or proceed with the story. Use the [[Starmap]] to [[Grav Jump]] to [[Jemison]] and then land at [[New Atlantis]].

Remember, since this is your first [[mission]] and you are just starting out the game you may want to check out our [[Inventory]] Management article. Loot the [[pirates]] you defeat along the way, they will have much better [[weapons]] and some additional [[gear]]. If you don't want to talk to the [[Crimson Fleet Captain]], you can shoot the barrel near him before passing through the doorway. You will still have to fight their backup, but it gives you a head start in the fight.
