Objective 1: Replace Hangar Module
To satisfy the first objective, begin building a new Hangar Module in the Build Manager.

Objective 2: Escort Clee-San
Send a contingent of ten Acolytes or five ACVs to provide support for the Clee-San. Instruct them to guard the Clee-San in Sphere formation.

The Clee-San is taking some scans of the jettisoned Hangar Module (bearing 210, 80 km) to discover the source of the disaster. She needs company. Assign the Clee-San an escort of five ACVs or ten Acolytes in Sphere formation. As the Clee-San pulls up alongside the jettisoned module, your second mission objective is complete.

Objective 3: Research Infection
Whatever happened to the research module must have spread to the other ships. You have no choice but to deal with them as hostiles. Get a research team studying the tapes and stay away from the research module at all costs.

Open the Research Manager and begin study of the Infection Organism. When the research is done, the mission objective is complete.

Objective 4: Protect the Kuun-Lan
Destroy any infected ships that attack while you review the tapes to learn more about what happened to the Clee-San. However, stay away from the research module because it'll probably infect anything that gets near it.

The first priority is to replace the ships lost with the Clee-San. Build as many ACVs or Acolytes as your Command Ship can support and move them toward the infected module (but no farther than the resource field). Your first encounter is with the infected former members of your fleet. You have no choice but to pulverize them.

Next, advance your strike teams into the resource field near the infected module. Beast Workers have already begun exploiting the resources here. Attack each Worker in Sphere formation and establish control over the field. Send in your own Workers as soon as possible, and bring your Command Ship into reasonably safe proximity to the field (to hasten harvesting).

Soon, a fleet of Raiders emerges from hyperspace near the Clee-San and the infected module. Your warnings are seen as little more than pathetic lies. The consequences are predictable as the Beast adds several powerful ships to its fleet.

So powerful, in fact, that discretion is clearly the better part of valor. Take all you can from the resource field and, when you're ready, flee into hyperspace.
