How to complete Picking Up The Pieces main quest in Everspace 2

Dock at The Flying Dutchess
After retrieving the first Spatial Bypass Component, Marie of The Flying Duchess will arrive at the location. After the small dialogue sequence, dock at The Flying Duchess to interact with Marie. She will give you the second Spatial Bypass Component and inform you where you can find the other three components.
Destroy the outlaw base in Outlaw Stronghold
After interacting with Marie aboard The Flying Duchess, you must make your way to three separate marked locations. We suggest heading to the outlaw base in the Outlaw Stronghold first. The base is located in theZharkovorbit, and is the closest location from Athor Orbit, thereby saving you the hassle of passing through Jump Gates multiple times.
Upon reaching the location, prepare for a fight against the outlaws who will resist your attempt at destroying their base. Proceed to take out all the outlaws, and then destroy the required number ofFuel Tanks,Energy Coils,Turrets, andBomb Throwers. Once everything is destroyed, the core of the Outlaw Base will be exposed. Destroy the core to retrieve the third Spatial Bypass Component.

Dock at Smuggler’s Base in Cartwright’s Wake
Your next location will be the Smuggler’s Base in Cartwright’s Wake. Upon reaching the location and docking at the base, Tarjak will give you the Spatial Bypass Component for free after a small dialogue sequence.
Dock at G&B Office and Hangar at Prescott Starbase
Your last stop will be at the G&B Office and Hangar at Prescott Base. The G&B Clerk at this base will inform you the component you’re looking for has been transferred to theG&B Union BranchatNoah Damaris Starport, so you must head there.
After docking at the G&B Union Branch at Damaris Starport, exhaust the dialogue sequence with the G&B Clerk, undock from the station, and wait for a few seconds for the G&B Freighter to dock and unload the items. Then, dock at the G&B Union Branch station again when the quest marker reappears. This time, the G&B Clerk will offer you the final Spatial Bypass Component for a fee of20,000 Credits. Purchase the component from the Shop, and then head back to your home base at Rhodia II to inform Khala you have retrieved all necessary Spatial Bypass Components.
There you have it! Upon reaching Rhodia II a cutscene will play out, after which you will be notified of the mission’s completion. Finishing the Picking Up The Pieces Quest will grant you7000Experience points, and allow you to unlock theSpatial Bypassper from Khala in thePerksmenu.
