Starfield The Best There Is Mission Walkthrough And Choices

The Best There Is stands out as one of the most intricate stealth infiltration quests in Starfield's Crimson Fleet storyline. Tasked by Delgado with stealing the experimental ComSpike module, players must navigate the high-security United Colonies station SY-920. Success requires careful disguise management, strategic dialogue choices, and decisive action under pressure.

Starting the Quest and Infiltrating SY-920

Your assignment begins at The Key, where Naeva and Jasmine direct you to meet smuggler captain Huan Daiyu in New Atlantis. Boarding her vessel, the Jade Swan, provides safe passage directly into the restricted military station SY-920. To move around unhindered inside the facility, you must quickly locate and equip an Ensign uniform.

Navigating the Command Bay and Finding the ComSpike

Wearing the uniform allows you to access the Command Bay, provided you convincingly lie to the station guards. Inside, accessing a secured terminal yields the vital clearance codes needed to proceed deeper into the facility. Searching the data system reveals that the prototype ComSpike component is installed directly into an experimental ship in Engineering Bay 4.

Dealing with Dr. Vogel and the Huan Betrayal Choice

Upon reaching Engineering Bay 4, you encounter Dr. Vogel, the lead scientist overseeing the ComSpike project. You are presented with a major decision: you can either persuade Dr. Vogel to authorize a test flight or betray Huan Daiyu to divert suspicion. Betraying Huan immediately alerts the station security forces, whereas persuading Dr. Vogel permits a completely silent escape.

Escaping in the Prototype Ship and Quest Completion

To pull off a clean extraction, secure a pilot spacesuit and schedule an official test flight via the control center terminal. Boarding the prototype ship allows you to fly out of SY-920 without triggering hostile turrets or fighter ships. Return to The Key to report your massive success to Delgado, followed by briefing your UC SysDef superiors on the outcome.
