Meet up with the others at the Tau-29 Jump Hole
Take the Jump Hole to the Tau-29 System
Fly to Shinkaku Station
----------------------------

Once you get to the Trade Lane, take it. It'll head to the Tau-23 Jump Gate.
In the middle of the way, it'll be disrupted! The cause? 2 Rheinland Gunboats damaging the Trade Lane ring. Tobiast will tell Juni, Quintaine and Sinclair to head to the nearby Tau-29 Jump Hole while he and you will occupy the 2
Gunboats.

Gunboats are never a big problem, just follow them and shoot at them. After some time, Tobias will say you and him have bought the others enough time and they would be at the Jump Hole by now. Follow the waypoint to meet the others at the Jumphole. It doesn't matter if you haven't destroyed any of the Gunboat, but if you or Tobias managed to destroy one, he'll boast and say that'll say now they'll know that you two are not an easy targets after all. Anyway, destroy
a Gunboat or not, Tobias will say that he's proud of you once you two arrived at the Jump Hole where the others is at. Juni will tell you they were just about to turn back help you and Tobias. Oh ye of little faith.

Take the Jump Hole and you'll be in Tau-29, finally! Head to Shinkaku, where
Kress told Quintaine to go to. We don't know if he's actually for real and as an added situation, that was quite some time ago. Let's just cross our fingers and hope.

----------------------------
Mission 07: Shinkaku Station
New Objective:
Dock with Shinkaku Station
Meet Quintaine in Space outside Shinkaku Station
Fly to the Waypoint Coordinates
Journey to the coordinates of Kress' Base
----------------------------

Dock with Shinkaku Station. Reload your Shield Batteries and Nanobots. It is
"VERY IMPORTANT" that you carry a full load of Shield Batteries and Nanobots.
Once you're ready, fully loaded with Shield Batteires and Nanobots, launch to space to meet Quintaine and see what tidings he got for the group.

Good news! There's actually a message for Quintaine after all. The bartender has given Quintaine the waypoint coordinates of Kress' Base. Before can head there,
Tobias will tell the group that he's leaving. With open conflict between
Bretonia and Rheinland bound to happen soon, he's needed back at Bretonia. Say your goodbyes, and then head to the coordinates. And then...

OH MY GOD!!! It looks like about the whole Rheinland Fleet decloaked right in front of your eyes! A Battleship (!!!), 3 Cruisers (!!!!!), some Gunboats and a helluva lot of Fighters.

----------------------------
Mission 07: Engage the Rheinland Fleet
New Objective:
Destroy the Rheinland Fleet
Fly to the Waypoint Coordinates
Rendezvous with Sinclair and Quintaine at Razor-One's coordinates
Fly to the Tau-23 Jump Hole
Take the Jump Hole to the Tau-23 System
Fly to Kress' Base
Dock with Cali Base
----------------------------

As you're about to think that everything is over, in ride Razor-One with his
Wing from the other side of the Battleship, hitting it with missiles and weapon fires. Kress is the one that sent them to help you! They'll tell Sinclair and
Quintaine to head to a given coordinates, and asked their escorts (ie you and
Juni) to help them take out the Rheinland Fleet.

DO NOT, I repeat, DO NOT charge right into the battle. The Battleship and the
Cruisers shall just shoot you down within moments. Stay back at all times.

This is it, this is the part when all your previous training from all the past missions will come to play. Help a little bit whenever possible, when you got an opportunity and a good amount of shield. Other than that, play what I've taught you best since the start of this Walkthrough. Flying around like crazy while at full speed, and using short afterburn bursts, dodging as much enemy fire as possible.

A wise pilot lets his allies to the dirty job while he plays run and dodge with the enemies. It's not a good idea to fight with the Battleship and the Cruisers, even if you want to fight. Just take on the enemy Fighters and Gunboats, let the others take care of the Battleship and the Cruisers. If you really want to take on one of the big ships, choose a Cruiser and not a Battleship, as it'll be way easier to take down.

Use the Shield Batteries and Nanobot when needed. Stay alive long enough, and I tell you, it'll be quite long, and the battle will be over. You're lucky that your allies mostly have a "God Mode" on and can't die, so sooner or later (I'll bet on later), they'll slowly but surely will take care of all the enemies.

If you survived, give yourself a pat on the back. You've just survived one of the biggest battle ever on Freelancer. And you did it without having even a
Cruiser or Battleship class ship on your side. Laugh to your heart's content because you, Juni and Razor-One's Fighter Wing have just took on a whole
Rheinland Fleet and won.

Well, the mission is not over yet. Go to the waypoint to meet with Sinclair and
Quintaine. Together with Razor-One and his Wing, the group will head to the
Tau-23 Jump Hole, marked by a waypoint. Once you get there, use it to get to
Tau-23. In Tau-23, you'll be given the waypoin to Kress' Base, head there. Once you've reached Cali Base (Kress's Base) and it says dock, dock.

After a stand off with some of Kress's henchmen who won't let you see Kress,
Colonel Kress finally shows up settle things. After guiding the good Doctors to the lab area, Kress will talk with you and Juni to explain some things while answering some questions. When asked who he works for, you'll get a surprising answer... The Order. It's been quite some time before you hear about them, isn't it?

Quintaine will shows up and says that they've forgotten something, and they need another item before they can study deeper about the artifact. The Proteus Tome, which is located in Kusari.

Kress says he got a man there, and will contact the man about the liberation of the Tome, but you're not about to let Kress and that man of his handle it by themselves, are you? You're going with them, you say. Kress will ask about you not trusting him, but you got a good answer, in Kress's very own words.  Well, if you're going, so is Juni. Kress can do nothing else but agree.

================================================
MISSION
================================================
OBJECTIVE:
Meet up with Kress's agent, Lord Hakkera, to arrange for the retrieval or the
Proteus Tome.

DIFFICULTY:
The trip through Kusari should present little risk as it would be a very bold move for the Rheinlanders to show their presence there.

REWARD:
This is not about money; it's about survival.
================================================

----------------------------
New Objective:
Meet Razor-One in Space outside Cali Base
Fly to the Kyushu Jump Hole
Take the Jump Hole to the Kyushu System
Fly to Planet Kyushu
Dock with Planet Kyushu
----------------------------

Restock your supply of Shield Batteries and Nanobots. I'll hazard a guess that you've certainly used a lot of them during the last battle. If you want to get some weapons from Cali, feel free to do so. Pyros Type 1 is good for a Class 4 gun. It's better than a normal Skyrail, so you might want to replace your
Skyrails, if you are using them, with Pyros Type 1. Pyros Type 2 is better than Adv. Skyrail, but it looks like your reputation with the owner of the base isn't good enough for you to be able to buy them.

Once you're done doing whatever you need at the base, launch to space to meet with Razor-One. He'll explain some stuff to you and will give you the waypoint to the nearby Kyushu Jump Hole. That's it, you and Juni are alone now, but it'll be a smooth ride to Planet Kyushu, don't worry.

Fly to the Jump Hole and use it. In Kyushu, you will be given a set of waypoints to use that'll guide you to Planet Kyushu. After entering a couple of Trade
Lanes later, with some conversation from Juni during the journey (Kusari is her home), you'll be at Planet Kyushu. Dock with it when it says dock.

You'll meet with Lord Hakkera, Kress' agent. He tells you that he's arranging for the retrieval of the Proteus Tome. All you can do now it wait.

Well, Juni isn't. She got her contacts here in Kusari too. What about you? She tells you to get do some jobs while waiting, you could use the credits.

----------------------------
Mission Result: Success
You have advanced to Level 13
----------------------------

================================================
MISSION 07 ENDED
================================================

A well deserved time out. As with the usual, you need to gain a level first before you can continue on the storyline. But look on the bright side, you're in Kusari now! New place means new ships and new equipments!

When you've leveled up, Juni will contact you to tell you to meet her in
Shinagawa, New Tokyo.

If you've been following my advise about keeping a steady amount of Credits, you should have about enough to buy a new ship. My recommendation still stays on getting a Heavy Fighter. It'll cost 71,210 credits. If you don't have enough credits, do some jobs and then buy one. Here, you'll have a choice between 2 ships. Both are Heavy Fighters, and both have almost exactly the same stats and price. Directly from Planet Kyushu, which you're at now, you can buy a
Barracuda, a Bounty Hunter Heavy Fighter.

Either that or you can follow the trade lanes, heading left (of NAV Map), and besides a Jump Gate is located a Battleship, Battleship Nagumo. In it you can buy a Dragon, a Kusari Heavy Fighter. Only difference between the 2 HF is their design and Barracuda have 5 more cargo spaces.

Well, Kusari sells mostly fast firing low damage weapons, which I don't really like, so I kept my old weaponries, for now. Feel free to change your weapons to Kusari weapons if you feel like it, although I don't really recommend it.
But a shield upgrade, that's good! A Sentinel shield sounds good.

Well, after you've buy yourself a new ship and gotten yourself a configuration that you like, and have also leveled up, it's time to meet Juni. The waypoints will get you there.

/========================\
|3H: MISSION 08          |
.========================.

Well, it looks like you won't be getting the Proteus Tome through Lord Hakkera after all. Tekagi is about to defect, taking with him the Proteus Tome to
Rheinland. Juni's friend, Ozu, who is also a Lieutenant of the Blood Dragons, a sort of good rebels. He'll offers you a deal.

Help him capture the Transport and kill Tekagi, who is a traitor to Kusari.
He'll get Tekagi, and whatever the Transport holds, while you can have the
Proteus Tome. It's a deal!

================================================
MISSION
================================================
OBJECTIVE:
Attack a transport in the nearby Honshu system that is secretly transporting the
Proteus Tome to Rheinland. Join Ozu and a Blood Dragon strike force in their attempt to capture the transport.

DIFFICULTY:
The transport is under heavy guard and will be well defended. This mission will be very difficult and a potent combat vessel is highly recommended.

REWARD:
The Proteus Tome - the very reason why you came to Kusari.
================================================
