Planetary Alert

Planetary Alert or Stop That Probe! is the Reeve welcome quest in The Long Journey Home.

Description
The player is intercepted by a Reeve Probe. The probe plays a recorded message of some Reeve, who are stuck on a planet and running out of supplies. The player is directed to a nearby planet.

When landing on the planet, a Reeve explains his misery. They are trapped because the fallen gate on their planet does not work. They tried to repair it, but they ran out of power. The probe that started the quest actually contains just the necessary battery, so he asks the player to hunt it down and to bring back the battery. If the player accepts, he gets a code to destroy the probe by hailing it.

Once the player intercepts the probe, he has to either shoot it down or hail it, to be able to obtain an Energy Core.

Back on the planet, the player is asked to hand over the Energy Core. He gets a Big Fuel Tank and 250-300 credits in return.

If the player refuses to hand over the Energy Core or leaves the system before the quest is finished the Reeve respect decreases and the quest is aborted.
