How to complete the story quest “What Remains” in Starfield: Shatted Space

To start the “What Remains” story quest, complete the very first mission in the Star FieldThe base game of, the “One Small Step” quest. Once this mission is complete, jump to a system with no active mission to find a large space station called The Oracle. Dock at the station and begin investigating the remains of the abandoned station.

Once on board, turn left and head down the hallway to find a door that can be opened with several corpses of Orcale crew members. At the end of this corridor there is a blue specter known as the ghost of a man named Sirak Veth’aal. After listening to his dialogue, progress into the next room to find two ghosts talking to each other. These ghosts are Sirak and Basira Mir. Basira will lose control of herself and become hostile and attack you. Defeat Basira and collect the Oracle Access Card from his body. After Basira is defeated, Sirak will hide in a corner. Go through the door to the right of Sirak to progress further into Oracle Station.

At this point there will also be a new optional objective to find the Sirak Logs, 4 audio logs scattered around the station that provide information on how the ship came to be as it currently is. Check out Gameranx’s complete guide for where to find all of Sirak’s logs aboard the Oracle here.

Once through the door, your objective is to find a path to the engineering bay. To do this, you must first find an access card reader. Go straight until you reach a railing with a large orb hanging in the air. From there, go right and at the end of the hallway is a small office with the access card reader hanging on the wall. Trying to interact with him will direct you to the access card in another part of the ship.

Return to the orb and jump over the railing. Float to the ground at the bottom of the area beyond the railing, then cross the hallway to the right. Follow the hallway to find a control panel with 3 buttons. Press the button marked “3”. This will move the crate into the corresponding space so you can progress.

Follow path #3 until you find a trapdoor on the ground. Open it and drop it on the lower floor. Turn right to find a staircase.

Once at the top of the stairs, turn left and go straight to find a room. The Engineering Bay Keycard is lying on the bed and you can collect it.

Return to the keycard reader near the engineering bay entrance to defeat any ghosts in your way. Use the map to unlock the double doors nearby. Just behind the doors is a terminal called Main Power Controls. Interact with this terminal and press the “Reconnect Secondary Power” button. This will fail and require you to restore the ship’s gravity power. This requires you to find the emergency power switch in the area above you.

From the terminal, float to the top of the room and onto a metal platform. A set of locked double metal doors sits at one end of the platform. Go to the opposite end of the platform and enter an operating room with a door on the far wall.

Go through the door to head left. Enter the room at the end of the platform then go left to find a room full of floating debris. Among all this debris are some Power Cells that you will need to collect. Once you have one, go to the back of the room, plug it into the power outlet, and hit the power switch right next to it to open a nearby door that leads to the main gravity controls. Interact with the terminal to reactivate gravity.

Return to the primary power controls terminal and reconnect the secondary power cell. Return to the railing with the orb nearby, then go left. Follow the path and go up a flight of stairs to find a door that leads to the Oracle Operations area. Head to the Operations Center to see another scene with Sirak. After his dialogue, a fight against him and other Ghosts will begin. Defeat them all, then collect the Operations Access Card from Sirak’s body. Interact with the Operations Control Terminal and press the “Initiate Mainframe Reboot” button to fully restore power to the Oracle.

Once the reboot process is complete, the Oracle will jump into space and arrive on the new DLC planet known as Va’ruun’kai. After arriving in the new world and the ship’s computer has completed all of its dialogue, there will be a transmission from the Dazra City colony on the planet. At the end of the transmission, the story quest “What Remains” will be completed and the story quest “The Broken Promise” will begin. You will receive 250 EXP and credits. Disembark from the Oracle to explore the expansion’s new planet and officially start your Broken space experience.
