Find the Probe

  • 1 of 6: Land on the planet Agebinium, taking along at least one person who has high tech talents.
  • 2 of 6: Drive NW to where the homing beacon is marked on the area map.
  • 3 of 6: When you arrive, you'll find the entrance to a mine.
  • 4 of 6: The probe is apparently down there somewhere, so enter the mine and start looking around.
  • 5 of 6: Unfortunately, the probe is a trap. When you approach it, your retreat will be cut off by explosions.
  • 6 of 6: After you converse with the guy who's behind the trap, you'll get the "Escape" objective.
