What To Do With The ES Award
Players can either give Naeva the reward or keep it and sell it themselves. Here are the available methods to benefit from the ES Award:
Seek Larry Dumbrovsky In Starfield
To findLarry Dumbrovsky,speak with the guests at the party to find more information. Eventually, one suggests seekingKlaudia Swist, who can be found sitting outside the Guest Suites. Klaudia is a smart woman, so players can either Bribe or Persuade the information out of her.
Either way, the answer is the same. FindGabriel Veraand speak with the Corrupted Security Officer. Sadly, he’s not in the mood for a chat, so players must find Rokov to devise a plan. The Captain suggeststriggering an emergency lockdown to isolate Gabriel, allowing players to speak freely with him
To trigger the emergency, follow the Quest marker andconvince Sandin to leave his post to use his computer. Possessing theEmpathandSpace ScoundrelTraits inStarfieldwill get the job done easily. Bribing Sandin or telling him about Rokov’s debt also works. Activate all three switches to force an emergency shutdown.
Upon finding Gabriel Vera,it’s recommended to Bribe him rather than kill himto receive an important piece of evidence without getting forced to kill all the guards on the ship.
