Go to Red Mile

To initiate this mission, start by heading to the Red Mile, where you'll engage with Ranger Autumn MacMillan. She's been diligently investigating a smuggling operation run by Marco, which may lead us to the elusive First Cavalry. The Red Mile cantina is conveniently located on the planet Porrima III within the Porrima system.

Talk to Autumn MacMillan

Upon entering the cantina, you'll find Autumn MacMillan at the bar, though she may not be in the most talkative mood due to an impending meeting. However, this meeting is essential, as her contact, Jade, could provide valuable insights into Marco's activities.

Follow Autumn and Meet With Autumn’s Contact

Assuming Autumn's path doesn't encounter any bugs during your mission, she'll guide you to a table deeper inside the bar. Here, you'll meet Jade, who, like you, has a vested interest in Marco's operations. Jade also runs her smuggling operation, separate from the Freestar Collective, but Marco's recent actions have disrupted her business.

Jade reveals that Mei Devine, the leader of the Red Mile, might possess information crucial to your mission. Mei, however, has her own demands in exchange for her cooperation - she's looking for someone to take on the deadly Red Mile race for her.

Talk to Mei Devine

Approach me and express your willingness to undertake the perilous Red Mile race. Be prepared for a dangerous journey filled with hostile creatures and a massive blizzard. Completing this race will grant you Mei's assistance in setting up a meeting with Marco.

Activate the Red Mile Beacon

After Mei's dramatic introduction and the collection of bets, your task is to run the Red Mile and activate the beacon at its center. Beware of the hostile creatures that see you as their next meal. Dispatch them and proceed towards the central tower. Activate the beacon and return to the cantina, but be ready to face more Maulers on the way back.

Talk to Mei Devine Again

Once you've safely returned to the cantina, speak with Mei again. She'll congratulate you and confirm your meeting with Marco. Then, have a conversation with Autumn, who will apologize for her earlier demeanor and reveal her connection to Jade, who happens to be her big sister. You should also speak to Mei once more, as she has arranged the meeting with Marco.

Travel to Codos and Talk to Marco On His Ship

Marco Graziani can be found on Codos, one of Akila's moons in the Cheyenne system. His ship, Fortuna, is located on the lower side of the planet. Upon entering his extravagant ship, you'll have the opportunity to converse with Marco in his office, which offers a picturesque view of the gardens.

During the conversation, Marco will acknowledge your resourcefulness in finding him, but he'll remain cryptic about his plans. He may express disappointment that you aren't a full-fledged Ranger and highlight the significant security measures aboard his ship. At this juncture, you face a crucial decision: appease his demands or take a more confrontational approach. It's advisable to consider the moral implications, as your choice will impact the course of events. Opting for confrontation may lead to hostilities aboard the ship.

Give the Encrypted Slate to Alex Shadid

Once the situation on Marco's ship is resolved, exit the Fortuna and fast-travel to Akila City. Find Alex Shadid within the Rock and hand over the second encrypted slate. This action will conclude the mission, offering you the opportunity to either delve into the "Surgical Strike" mission or proceed to the next major chapter in your Starfield adventure.
