The story line starts with a qualified contact in the timeline with the dialog "I'm about to pull a power play all the way to a gleamer in orbit". Otto, a bladesmith in orbit wants his lover, Mariah to join him, in exchange for opening a market for blades forged at the Fadelight orbital station. If you accept, two missions are generated, and succeeding at either one of them allows progress to the next stage. One is "hack 3 files in set", and the other is "loot 3 files in set"; the set is "citizenship card". Both jobs have randomized names, and the "loot 3 files" job has a random map. Looting only one of the parts, in either mission is sufficient; when one of the jobs is completed, the other mission is removed from the Timeline.
The second mission in the story line occurs immediately with the dialog "There is a snag we need to discuss". The launchpad is under control of a hostile syndicate soldier, Guy Frost. To get access to the launch pad requires accepting an Obligation to Frost. The subsequent job has a random name and map. a bodyguard mission to help Mariah reach the launchpad. Once you succeed at this mission, the story line is complete. The contact now has a "fadelight blades" service at level 4, which can be improved normally.
The Fadelight Blades service can be raised to level 8, with one powerful blade unlocked at each level. Here are the stats of the level 8 blade (as of June, 2025): 450 kinetic damage + 280 on power slice.
