Eye to Eye
Unearth Ancient Bones
Nada and Polo are classifying the biology of the universe, focusing on the most interesting patterns. They have found a potential link between a living species on one planet, and an extinct ancestor in an entirely separate system. To confirm the relation, they require skeletal scans from bones discovered in this system. The crew is free to keep the physical specimens.
Unearth Ancient Bones
Skeletal Legacy
Unearth Ancient Bones
Nada is undertaking research into biological disease. Their study compares the properties of organic pathogens against the viruses that can afflict their own artificial physiology. To better understand the origin of these diseases, they require skeletal scans from ancient creatures. The crew is free to keep the physical specimens.

Survey a Planet
The Space Anomaly's databanks are the most extensive in the known universe, yet Specialist Polo is unsatisfied. They seem determined to document every parsec of the infinite. Their records for one specific planet are in need of an update. They ask Travellers to visit the indicated planet, and upload a fresh planetary survey for the Anomaly.

Documenting the Infinite
Survey a Planet
Although the Space Anomaly does not participate in intergalactic trade, a recent trend has caught Polo's attention. A suspicious number of raw materials on the market seem to originate from one specific planet. More interested in geology than making a profit, Polo asks Travellers to visit and catalogue this planet, to help determine what makes its resources so exceptional.

Celestial Catalogues
Survey a Planet
Specialist Polo has identfied a planet that seems host to a particularly unusual ecosystem. They say they cannot rest until its details are archived in the Anomaly for them to pore over. Travellers are asked to visit the planet and examine its life and geographic makeup, then upload the surveyed data to the Anomaly.

Tame Wild Creatures
Polo's fascination with simple fauna seems limitless. At what level of intelligence do creatures begin to exhibit traits such as greed, deceit, manipulation? How can the evolution of such traits be avoided? Polo requests ground crew get closer to these creatures, earn their trust, and study their habits.
Tame Wild Creatures
Simple Fauna
Tame Wild Creatures
Priest Entity Nada, examining their own definition of 'life', wishes to study the psychology of biological lifeforms. They posit that all biological life is enslaved by the demands of organic tissue, and will compromise other motivations in pursuit of nourishment. Nada calls upon their Traveller friends to examine the response of wildlife to strangers, and report on how creatures can be tamed through food.

The Nexus is the multiplayer mission board onboard the Space Anomaly, and functions as a meeting point for Travellers. It is the location where players sharing the same multiplayer instance in the Space Anomaly (up to 16) can initialize or join multiplayer missions (up to a group of four players per mission).
Missions can be completed to get specific rewards (products and units/nanites/quicksilver).
📋
The Nexus offers four types of missions.
Regular missions award nanites or units and some items.
Daily Quicksilver mission awards 400 quicksilver. Marked by one to three Gold (droplets) on the right side of Nexus.
Encrypted missions award nanites or units, and some items. Marked by a purple question mark symbol on the left side of the Nexus.
Weekend missions award 1800 quicksilver. Marked by a turquoise Hexagon above the Nexus.
❕
Daily, one mission, generating Quicksilver, will be offered to the player, replacing one of the four mission options. Up to three such missions can stack up (represented by an according number of floating Quicksilver icons on the side of The Nexus interface). This mechanism allows players not to miss out on them even if not playing daily. However once the stack of three is filled up, any passing day won't add such a mission to the queue, thus being lost.
Encrypted missions appear in The Nexus at random. When initialized, they will start a random mission.
