IntroductionThere are lots of strange happenings going on in The Longest Road. It appears to center around a certain renegade Biological Materials Reseach Center hidden within the innocent looking Foreman's Office of an Omni-Tek mining operation.
Never heard of this place until you ran into Cody Monkie in the
Holodeck Tower
in ICC HQ?Andromeda - 3233x946
Cody Monkie.
Well, if you have decided to help him out and deliver a Defense Unit Remote to Captain "Rik-Rak" Jones, you'll learn what he means when he says it's been difficult for him to deliver it. You won't have an easy time either. Rik-Rak is located deep inside the facility. Consult the map below. But since Cody didn't set a timeframe by which he needs the delivery done, you might as well get a task or two done on the way. Check out this guide for a mission chain with nice rewards and XP.

Getting thereYou can get to the Foreman's office in several ways. The quickest route is to take the grid exit to 2HO and then the Whom-Pah from there to The Longest Road. This will put you close to the entrance. Beware though that 2HO is an area with low suppression gas, meaning you may be attacked there by other players. It's also guarded by level 120 Omni guards. Alternatively, you can take the Whom-Pah from Old Athen to Bliss, and run from there. Finally, you can use the fixer grid exit 6-L which puts you just outside the mining area.

The Whom-Pahs in 2HO.
Yes, this is an OT facility. There are OT guards that occasionally wander by and shoot at clanners. Plan accordingly. Best is to run back inside, because if you get flagged you could really screw things up for you team, especially with pets around.
He and his friends will shoot any clanners.
Time for some action! Go inside!

MapOnce inside, the following map should be useful to locate the various bosses, mission NPCs and teleporters. It is taken from Saavick's Map of Rubi-Ka, available in the downloads section.

Loot tableThere are a few items not to be missed while inside the Biomare Research Facilities.
Tri-Plumbo.
 Storm Carbonum Armor (around QL 80) |
Neutralizers.
Security Officers.
Bodyguards.
- Note: The Personal Safe these mobs drop hold some of their personal items. While much is shop food, if you're looking for the coveted Grid Armor 1 or 2, there is a chance of finding one in these. So, collect them all! They take Breaking & Entering to open, and to open them, you R-Click on them. If you don't have enough B&E, find a friendly fixer with some time on their hands to crack those safes!
Captain "Rik-Rak" Jones.
You can walk past "Rik-Rak"! He's not looking for a fight. However, if you attack him, be prepared for a good fight! He's not going to give his goods easily.
T.I.M.
To reach T.I.M. you will have to fight off Security Guards on the path to him, and a mob or two inside his lair. T.I.M. is a level 100 Slayer, and is fairly easy to kill in a decent team, or if you have a decent level 100 character, (or know someone who does).
- Note: Before you zone in to the area where the Bodyguards are, you can chat with an NPC and get a 180,000 XP Reward for killing T.I.M.

Executive Defenders.
These are spawned by the Director once you confront him. He will send out a few Executive Protectors (Level 80) which look like floating eyes. They hit pretty hard for radiation damage, and will respawn if killed - best to mezz/calm them, or pull them away and root them instead.
The Lab Director.
The Director is in the usual place, and will probably be up when you get there. A lot less traffic there now. Since he's not being insta-killed on spawn anymore, most likely there will be 2 bodyguards at his office too. So count on the Director plus at least 4 adds.
