This article will guide you through all the objectives of the mission “Back to Vectera” in Starfield.
Return to Vectera
When you start the mission, the game will ask you to return to Vectera. Get into your ship and travel to Vectera.
Fix the Comms Computer
At Vectera, speak with Lin and she will reveal that you need to repair the comm computers in the distant building and for that we need to locate three Power Cells.
Emergency Power Cell #1
After speaking with her, proceed to the orange door on the left. Interact with the switch to open the door. Inside, look for the third emergency power cell on a table on the left side.
Emergency Power Cell #2
Exit the building and then proceed to the orange door on the right and interact with the switch to open it. Enter through the folding door near the sofa. On the right side of the room, you can find the first emergency power cell on the shelves.
Emergency Power Cell #3
Then head through the left door that leads into an office. The second emergency power cell is located on the table.
Go back to the previous room, open the foldable door near the shelves, and then pass through another yellow door. The next room has three slots on the wall where you have to install the emergency power cells you obtained, which will fix the communications computer.
Find a clue to Barrett’s Location
Once the power is turned on, interact with the door on the left side of the room to unlock it.
Search the computer and read the Emergency Transmission sent by Barrett and Heller. This distress signal will provide you with the information needed to locate your friends.
Return to Lin & Recruit Lin
Afterward, you read the Emergency Transmission sent by Barrett and Heller and then make your way to Lin. Here you will also get the chance to Recruit Lin. Choose the dialogue after she tells you about her career change.
“You are just the kind of traveling companion I want, you should come along“
Travel to Virum
The emergency SOS will give a clue about a randomly selected planet, therefore your game may not transport you to Virum as mine did.. Hop in your ship and go where the quest asks you to go.
Find Barrett and Heller
When you land, regardless of the planet allocated to you at random, you’ll find a crashed ship. Head in the direction of the crashed ship to find wounded Heller.
Talk to Heller, and then decide whether or not to recruit him. Regardless of whether you recruit Heller, he will give you a note/disk with a message from Barrett on it.
Listen to Emergency Transmission 02
To read the note, click here. Go to your inventory, then to “notes” and then to “Emergency Transmission 02“.
Listen to the message to find out where Barrett got himself abducted this time and has been taken to a new planet: Bessel III.
Travel to Bessel 3
Return to your spacecraft and fly to Bessel III. Land your ship at the Ransacked Research Outpost and go to the pirate settlement. Inside the building, you will find Barrett sitting and talking with a pirate captain named Matsura.
Rescue Barrett
Talk to them, but the pirates will not let Barrett leave free. He’ll want 4,000 Credits in exchange for your friend’s return. You can persuade Matsura to return Barrett to you for free.
Return to the Lodge
Exit the building and return to your ship to return to Lodge.
