Back To Vectera is started alongside The Empty Nest after clearing the The Old Neighborhood. If you speak with Sarah once more, she will ask Noel about Barrett's status, who was supposedly packing up operations on the Argos Extractors in Vectera. However, there is no information available regarding his current status. Therefore, you will be required to travel to that location and investigate the situation to uncover what has transpired.

Lin Is At The Launch Pad

Lin is at the Launch Pad

You can find Supervisor Lin easily when you arrived in Vectera as she is seen just a few meters away from the ship. Speak to her to get more info about Barrett. You'll also learn that the Pirates may have done something to the Comms Computer, so you will need to fix it first to be able to contact Barrett.

How To Fix The Comms Computer

how to fix the comms

You can clear the mission objective "Fix The Comms Computer" through two methods: you can search for a Power Source, or alternatively, you can inspect the [Security] section to extract the data storage. Opting for checking the Security allows for a quicker completion of the task.

Power Receptacle Is Right Across The Research Lab

In order to repair the Communications Computer, you'll need to supply Power Cells to the Power Receptacle to open it up. Once you entered the room, you will notice that there is a Research Lab on the left side near the door leading to the Communications Computer. Just across the room for it, at the right side of the entrance, there is a Power Receptacle. However, Power Cell is required to power it so you will need to obtain 3 Power Cells.

Find The Crashed Ship Location And Recruit Heller

LocationHeller
location
Heller

The Crashed Ship's location varies depending on the Emergency Transmission you got first from your previous choice to retrieve it from the computer. If you got the Emergency Transmission 01, you will need to head to Gryphus while in the Emergency Transmission 02 you will need to rescue them in Bessel 3. Either ways, you will find Heller injured and lying besides the Crashed Ship. He apparently survived somehow but Barrett has been captured by the Crimson Fleet. You can recruit Heller to your crew and make use of his Outpost Engineering and Geology Companion Skills in your journey.

Travel To Gryphus Or Bessel 3

The Crimson Fleet's Location also varies depending on the second transmission audio you will get from rescuing Heller. If you got Audio Transmission 2 you will need to get to Bessel 3 while in Audio Transmission 1 you will need to go to Gryphus. The quest objectives doesn't vary that much aside from the locations so rest assured that whatever choice you have made prior does not have a major impact on the story.

Head To The Crimson Fleet Outpost Location

head to the crimson fleet

Barrett is held inside the Crimson Fleet Outpost that is protected by a Turret and some Pirate Brigand. You can just make a run towards the door and focus on getting Barrett and deal with it later on or clear the area first.

Rescue Barrett From Matsura

You can pay 4,000 Credits, let your Companion do the negotiation or attack him and start an outpost battle. However, it is much better to Persuade Matsura instead since the Persuasion Points needed is only 6 and which you can easily achieve given the available 3 Turns.
