Contagion

An Initiative citizen with an incurable disease has been awakened from stasis. Track her down and return her to stasis before the disease spreads.

Acquisition
After Ryder has returned to the Tempest after visiting Kadara Port there is an e-mail from Captain Dunn titled Please see me. She wish to discuss a sensitive matter. Acknowledge the e-mail to receive the next objective.

Meet with Dunn on Hyperion's Habitation Deck
Captain Dunn contacts Ryder over Comm immediately upon arrival on Nexus asking for a meeting on a matter she doesn't want to discuss on open channels. In case you have forgotten to check the mail box this is another way to catch your attention.

Speaking with Dunn reveals that one of Harry's medtechs has smuggled a relative on board Nexus and recently awakened the person from cryo stasis. The relative is carrier of a rare contagious disease, that yet hasn't come into its later stages where it will become contagious.

Dunn wants to keep the matter secret to avoid public panic, and have not informed Tann or anyone else. She asks Ryder to handle the problem discreetly. For more information Ryder should speak with Harry.

Speak with Harry in the cryo bay
Dr. Harry Carlyle can supply Ryder with a depth of details on the issue. The medtech Charlie cheated the screening process to sneak his aunt onboard and woke her up recently.

The disease TH-314 has three stages and is deadly and highly contagious in its final stage. It's airborne and jumps between species. There is no cure. If she manage to get off Nexus, the situation will be very bad and she might infect the angaran people.

Harry gave SAM access to files concerning the matter of aunt Ruth Bekker.

Speak with an immigration officer in the docking area
The immigration Officer has met Ruth. Her station access was intitially restricted to the Commons area, and after some time the restriction was lifted.

Search for Ruth Bekker's previous location
SAM can track her moves using her biological signature. Use the scanner to find where she has been. SAM lets you know when you are on the right track.

Ruth was using a nearby terminal searching for her nephew. Next she was trying identify a plant type. Reason unknown. She has been walking near he Vehicle merchant. She also was trying to get access the tram, but access was denied. Another spot is at the entrance to Vortex. The final location is inside Vortex, where she received a message from the Immigration Officer about the access restriction has been cleared.

Where did Ruth go?

Gather information at the Vortex in the Nexus Commons
Speak with the patrons until someone who can tell you about Ruth. She has gone to Ops looking for someone called Teron.

Speak with Teron in Nexus Ops
Teron Aminus is working at a big console. Yes, Ruth was here not so long ago. She didn't look so good, and was acting strangely. She asked for her nephew, talked about the shuttles, and ran off in the middle of a sentence. It seems Ruth's disease has entered stage 2 for which paranoia is a symtom.

Dr. Carlyle calls on the Comm. Ruth has attacked a dockworker and stole a shuttle. The risk for an pandemic has increased because she now is out there somewhere.

Investigate the docking bay
The dockworker Samuel Francoeur is sitting on a bench recovering from the attack. He managed to damage the hull of the shuttle during the theft. Luckily the shuttle will leave a radition trail that can be followed.

Investigate the shuttles trail
The trail leads to four star systems. Scanning the trail gives 50 Milky Way research data for each of them.

The scanning reveals that the hull's integrity is getting increasingly worse. In the fourth system shuttle destruction is imminent. The trail indicates that the shuttle is heading for landing on Kadara.
