{{Mission infobox | image = Uncovering the Past.png | type = Mission#Heleus assignments{{!}}Heleus assignments | acquisition location = [[Kett Base]], [[Voeld]] | objective location = [[Ja Niihk Dig Site]], [[Voeld]] | start = [[Buxil]] | end = | previous = [[Remove the Heart]] | next = }} '''Uncovering the Past''' is a [[Mission#Heleus assignments|heleus assignments]] [[mission]]. It is acquired by speaking with [[Buxil]] on [[Voeld]] after [[Remove the Heart]]. ==Description== Uncover the [[angara]]n roots on the ice [[planet]] known as [[Voeld]]. ==Objectives== * Investigate ice cave * Clear out [[kett]] * Rescue captured [[angara]] * Talk to [[Angaran Captive|rescued angara]] * Go to blockage * Clear blast zone * Enter chamber ==Notes== Ryder can choose to kill the AI or let it live. The rewards are the same regardless of the decision. If Ryder decides to let the AI live, a second choice must be made: take it to [[SAM Node]] on the [[Hyperion]] and let it work with SAM or give it to the [[angara]]. The angara make good use of it in the [[Resistance Headquarters]] on [[Aya]], but it will make some fairly rude remarks if Ryder tries to talk to it. If Ryder gives the [[Ancient AI]] to the angara, during [[Meridian: The Way Home]], a conversation over the comms talks about the computer helping with calculations. It is unclear how this helps the battle inside the Remnant facility. The [[Mail from Angara Resistance HQ|followup email]] from Evfra reflects Ryder's choice. Some objectives for both [[Forgotten History]] and [[Task: Gone Dark]] take place at the [[Ja Niihk Dig Site]]. After the mission, Ryder can speak with [[Eska Yeveth]] in [[Techiix]]. She invites Ryder to establish an outpost on Voeld. (Although Ryder may have already done so, given the only requirement for an outpost is 40% [[viability]].) ==Research Opportunities== The two [[Research Data#Kett Core Encryption Tech|Kett Core Encryption Tech]]s can be scanned before the shield around Ja Niihk Dig Site is taken down during [[Remove the Heart]]. Power Pylon 1 is the large T-shaped structure closest to the Ja Niihk Dig site. Power Pylon 2 is any one of the dozen T-shaped pylons following the power line going from the Ja Niihk Dig Site up to the [[Kett Base]]. If Ryder scans the top of the closest T-shaped pylon to the Ja Niihk Dig Site, this is Power Pylon 1 and will award +10 Heleus [[Research Data|RD]]. Interestingly, if Ryder scans the lower portion of that same pylon, it will again highlight in orange and when scanned it will award another +10 Heleus [[Research Data|RD]]. This second scan is Power Pylon 2 which overlaps Power Pylon 1. Scanning this pylon a second time counts as one of the dozen pylons that reach up to the Kett Base with the rest turning light yellow as already being scanned. There is no need to travel away from Ja Niihk Dig Site to another pylon to get the additional RD. <gallery mode="packed" heights="150px"> File:KCET 1 (Voeld, Uncovering the Past) - image.png|KCET 1 File:KCET 1 (Voeld, Uncovering the Past) - scan.png|KCET 1 Scan File:KCET 2 (Voeld, Uncovering the Past) - image.png|KCET 2 File:KCET 2 (Voeld, Uncovering the Past) - scan.png|KCET 2 Scan File:Power Pylon 1 (Voeld, Uncovering the Past) - image.png|Power Pylon 1 File:Power Pylon 1 (Voeld, Uncovering the Past) - scan.png|P.P. 1 Scan File:Power Pylon 2 (Voeld, Uncovering the Past) - image.png|Power Pylon 2 File:Power Pylon 2 (Voeld, Uncovering the Past) - scan.png|P.P. 2 Scan </gallery> ==Rewards== *+29 [[Andromeda Viability Points|AVP]] *+2% Voeld [[viability]] *+1330 [[XP]] [[Category:Missions]] [[Category:Heleus assignments]] [[Category:Voeld missions]]
