In the ruthless corporate world of Starfield, even Reliant Medical, the pharmaceutical giant, is not exempt from the cutthroat nature. This valuable lesson can be experienced by players through the side mission "Missed Connections" located in Gagarin Landing.
Similar to other side missions in Starfield, players have the opportunity to learn about Helena Strickland and her anticipation for a courier through a passing guard in Gagarin. Alternatively, players can directly approach Helena and unintentionally be mistaken for the missing courier, thus initiating the mission. It is important to thoroughly search the Reliant Medical building near the landing pad as the doctor's office is a distinct location in Gagarin, unlike other settlements.
How to Start Missed Connections
To find Helena's office on the second floor of the Reliant Medical building, use the stairs and approach the woman at the large desk. If players are aware of Helena's issue, they can indicate their willingness to assist. Otherwise, they will be informed about it after explaining that they are not a new courier.
After agreeing to help, players will need to wait for Helena to contact the courier service. Interestingly, she always takes a detour around her desk to reach her phone. Once she is done, she will provide players with the courier's route and a four-digit code that can be used to verify their visit to the location.
How to Find the Courier
Helena will not give directions to the four courier check-ins that players need to visit. However, these check-ins should appear as objective markers as long as the mission "Missed Connections" is active. The courier was initially instructed to visit locations only within Gagarin Landing. Therefore, players will only need to search around town to complete this phase of the mission.
Out of the four locations, the courier has already visited two but failed to reach the other two. Although every check-in is optional, players must visit the check-in where the courier currently is, which is the farthest one from Reliant Medical. Specifically, players should proceed down the stairs next to the Gagarin statue and inspect the door on the left.
Retrieve the Empty Priority Package from the lifeless body and deliver it back to Helena. Although players informing her about the deceased courier disappoints her, Helena already has a main suspect in mind: Bonifac Maksimov, a former Reliant Medical executive who recently escaped Gagarin for Hawley, one of the moons orbiting Olivas.
To proceed with this mission line, players can embark on "Missed the Mark," but this chapter of the story has reached its conclusion. The compensation for completing "Missed Connections" consists of 50 XP and a moderate sum of credits.
Starfield is available now on PC and Xbox Series X/S.
