Unlocking Professor Palin

EDFM // Engineering / Field Procedures

The actionable checklist for gaining access to Professor Palin — for location, capabilities, blueprints, and other reference details, see the Engineer article.

This Field Procedure covers only the steps to unlock Professor Palin. For the Engineer's location, specialties, available blueprints, experimental effects, and reference details, see Professor Palin.

Objective

Gain access to Professor Palin's Engineer services at Abel Laboratory in Arque.

Prerequisites

Before you begin

• Discovery: Professor Palin is discovered through Marco Qwent.
• Invitation: Reach a maximum distance of at least 5,000 light-years from your career start location.
• Reach Grade 3 access and at least one-third progress toward Grade 4 with Marco Qwent.
• Reach a maximum distance of at least 5,000 Ly from your career start location.
• Obtain 25 Sensor Fragments.
• Provide the 25 Sensor Fragments to Professor Palin.

Required Materials, Equipment, and Access

Obtaining Sensor Fragments Sensor Fragments are Thargoid-related Manufactured materials. Current material data lists them as obtainable from sources including:

• destroyed Thargoid Sensors;
• Non-Human Signal Sources; and
• Thargoid surface sites.

See Sensor Fragments for current collection methods and recommended locations.

Field note

Chloe Sedesi has the same 25-Sensor-Fragment unlock requirement. If you intend to unlock both Engineers, plan your collection accordingly.

Field note

Current Engineer data notes that station services may not become available immediately after Palin is unlocked. If the workshop or other expected services do not appear after completing the unlock, logging out and back in may make them available.
