Tonight I was running data and relic sites in a WH and found an item called a Research Component in every single can from two different sites (One each data and relic, both Serpentis for what it's worth). The item description links you to an Agent named Lee Brinalle. When the link is clicked the NPC's Bio talks about contracting the items over to her.

Does anyone know wtf this is? Been running sites for a long time and this is the first I have seen of these. Even a quick google search yielded no answers.

Because is something pretty new. In the updates page you can see the following:

"The latest phase of Upwell Consortium's plan is in motion, and construction is starting on the first citadel. The Intaki Bank branch of Upwell has dedicated Agent Lee Brinalle to accepting and processing pilot contributions of needed Research Components. The Upwell Consortium will reward a few lucky pilots who participate with Astrahus Citadel BPCs (M-size) for the top contributor and two randomly chosen pilots as well as names of the few top contributors on the cornerstone of this citadel."

So… Good luck!

It refers to the new Citadels. Kinda like a minigame. Collect them, contract them to the NPC agent, who ever contributes the most gets rewarded Big smile

Civil discourse is uniquely human. After all, when is the last time a pride of lions and a herd of water buffalo negotiated SOV over a watering hole? Never. Someone either gets their ass kicked or eaten. At the end of the day someone holds SOV.

I found a few the day they came out and placed a contract to Lee in one of the linked systems but it has just sat there for the past week.

Not sure if they are meant to go to a specific station.

Since iIwill never be the top person to donate i'm just going to contract 1 per Char and hope for Lottery.

Actually, they're worth quite a lot as long as the event runs, since not everyone has time to run WH-relic and data sites all day.

I suggest throwing up contracts to try to melk this out until the event ends.

You'll find 1 Research Component per can in EVERY Serpentis Data or Relic site, doesn't matter, if High, Low, Null or WH.

Has anyone successfully contracted the item? I put a contract up in one of the locations and it sat there for a week before timing out -

Let's admit it, Data sites smell. Nothing worth anything......these new Research Components are so numerous one might pray for carbon.

I will scan for BP but that's it.

I hack and I've picked up one of these in each can, relic or data. I went to one of the systems that is mentioned on Lee Brinalle's bio yet when I got there, there was not a Intaki Bank Corp station nor was there any agents from the bank in the system. I don't mind making the effort to potentially get a large prize out of it but if the mini-game is not set up correctly, I've wasted my time.

I set up contracts in one of the systems mentioned. I am also concerned that my contracts only last 2 weeks. Does this mean I need to re-enter them when they expire? The length of time for this mini-game is ambiguous. Are we wasting time playing it?

So I see two problems - No Intaki Bank locations in the stated systems and the length of the contracts need to fit the time span of the event.

I hope we get some CCP comments to clear this up.

If you look at the site linked above, the date on it is the 25th. It's likely they're not accepting the contracts until then.

I found several of these last night. Is there a way to auction them to other players?

Thanks

Some people are buying them in the market Sydeo.

Phillipe, I thought that was the end date of the event not start but I will reenter my contracts. Thanks.

Any news on the contracting to Miss Brinalle? My contract in one the designated systems is still open.....
Or are there other ways to hand the components in?

I feel they messed up this event by putting out the components and leaving a message on Lee Brinalle's bio before the event even started. I have to go restart my contracts now. I started multiple thinking that would improve my odds of winning.

Yes yes, I realize the top guy wins a prize but there are random drawings also.

I found one of these in a Ghost site, but it was a GURISTAS Ghost site.

I lost it after I overshot a mainframe when trying to hack it (blew up my ship and the component with it), but I thought they were only in Serpentis sites.

They have been dropping form ghost sites for some time now.

Not that it really matters, because they can be farmed by dozens in Serpentis space.
