The critters outside are much more of a threat than the ones inside

An Alliance base in the Acheron system in the Styx Theta cluster may be in danger. Get to the base and find out what is going on.

Acquisition

One way to acquire this assignment is to simply enter the base on Altahe. Alternately, if you enter the Erebus system first, this assignment will be given to you after you have fended off the rachni in the first part of the UNC: Listening Post Alpha assignment on Nepmos.

Walkthrough

After landing on Altahe, head to the Alliance base at the south center of the map. The base is defended by four nests of Rachni Soldiers. Approach all four to eliminate the rachni that come up. Once they are all clear enter the base on the north side of the structure.

Aren't they just cute

When you enter the underground base it is relatively clear. The first room has a defense barrier in the middle of it. Behind it are two weapon lockers. Once you loot these, head into the main room. The main room holds only seven Rachni Workers and two Rachni Soldiers. Take out the workers before they have a chance to explode near you or the squad. Once every rachni has fallen, head to the door and be sure to grab the upgrade kit near the door to the rest of the base, and med gel from the aid station opposite the door you enter from.

In the room to the left is a lot of loot. A wetware kit, three crates, 2 storage lockers, a technician kit, and a malfunctioning object. Grab your rewards then head to the other room. This room only has a malfunctioning object to the right as you enter and a terminal at the other end. Access the terminal to hear a distress call from Lt. Durand and get the UNC: Listening Post Alpha assignment. If you have completed the other listening post mission already, you will be given the UNC: Depot Sigma-23 assignment.
