After landing, you’ll have to find Hawthorne. Unfortunately, the pod fell on Hawthorne and killed him.

You’ll then need to look for his ship. Along the way, you’ll be taught how to crouch and sneak past some creatures.

 

Talk to the guard

You’ll finally reach a wounded guard here. Talk to him to get a weapon. You can persuade him.

Get the power regulator

This quest is somewhat mixed with the other quest – Comes Now The Power.

You should do the other quest first. Once you have redirected power, you need to pick up the power regulator from Botanical Lab or Edgewater.

 

 

Go back to the ship

Head back to the ship once you have the power regulator.

Go to the terminal again.

 

Fix the power regulator

You’ll then be asked to fix the power regulator. Head to the room above the crew quarter. There’ll be a place to insert the regulator.

Head back to the terminal once you’ve fixed the regulator.

 

Leave on your ship

After you’ve done the quests in the area, you can leave this world.

You’ll then be allowed to navigate to more worlds.
