Meeting John Tuala in New Atlantis

1. Go to New Atlantis, specifically to the MAST HQ. John Tuala is at the very top. Talk to him to learn where you need to go.
2. You'll be directed to Cydonia, a city on Mars. Go there to talk to your new contact.

Visiting Cydonia

1. After landing on Cydonia , head to the central facility, then turn right and enter the Broken Spear bar, where you must talk to the bartender Jack.

1. He'll sell you info on where to find Moara for 2,500 credits. If you let Sarah speak, she'll negotiate the price down to a thousand. Pay or try to persuade him to tell you for free.

Going to Venus

1. After reaching the Sol system, head to the orbit of Venus. After getting there, you must reach the satellite, but there are pirate ships nearby.
2. If you've gotten a hang of space combat, you can shoot them down and then approach the satellite. If you'd rather avoid danger, depower your ship's systems to avoid detection.
3. Regardless of your choice, activate the satellite and then head to the Earth's moon - Luna. There you'll find the Nova Galactic shipyard you must dock at.

Nova Galactic Shipyard

1. Once inside, go to the marker. Use the scanner if you get lost and follow the arrows on the floor.

1. Watch out for the enemies inside while searching the area. Hide behind cover and take them down from a distance. Many of them fight in melee.

1. Follow the marker to find Vanguard Moara's Slate. Pick it up to progress with the quest. Head back to your spaceship.

Saving Moara

1. Your next stop is Neptune. Go into its orbit. You'll encounter Moara's spaceship. Soon, though, it will attack you.

1. Incapacitate the ship without destroying it. Aim for the engine on its back. Once it's immobilized, fly closer and dock.
2. After entering the ship, take down all the enmies. You'll find a key on one of their corpses. Take it and open the room Moara is locked up in. Talk to him and take the Artifact Beta.

1. Return to the Lodge in New Atlantis and place the artifact in their collection, then talk to Sarah. You can now permanently recruit her or not. Talking to her completes the quest.
