It starts at warp 1 and needs warp 285 to complete. A killing in New London leads you to Merius, where you decide whether to disable Azot&#8217;s ship and arrest him or destroy it. Arresting him pays Officer XP and speed ups; destroying his ship pays 2,000 Latinum and 186.3 million Tritanium. Both paths are short, so the choice comes down to which reward you need.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Catching_a_Killer_III_objectives\"><\/span>Catching a Killer III objectives<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Detectives in New London report a murder that looks like Azot&#8217;s work, with another advanced security system bypassed. The killer left a note addressed to Olgak. It is a cipher: the first letters of one of its phrases spell out Merius, where Azot is waiting for the detective.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Speak with the detective in New London. Location: <a href=\"https:\/\/star-trek-fleet-command.1337wiki.com\/de\/neues-london\/\">New London<\/a>.<\/li>\n<li>Follow the clue left by the killer.

Olgak asks how to deal with Azot.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>At Merius, Azot tells Olgak the other victims meant nothing and that the detective was his real target all along. Olgak wants him in custody, but he also floats ending it on the spot.<\/p>\n<h3>Path 1: disable his ship so that we can apprehend him<\/h3>\n<p>Olgak agrees not to sink to Azot&#8217;s level. Azot is beamed to the brig and taken back for trial.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Disable Azot&#8217;s ship. Location: Merius.<\/li>\n<li>Escort Detective Olgak back to the station.

Location: Merius.<\/li>\n<li>Escort Detective Olgak back to the station. Location: Necrocormeum.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Either way, the case leaves its mark on Olgak, and he decides to take time off. On the arrest path Azot rants in his cell; on the other, Olgak wonders if Azot got the ending he wanted.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Where_and_what_warp\"><\/span>Wo und welcher Warp<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>No pickup system is listed, and the mission starts at warp 1.
