How to Start On the Run in Starfield

On the Run unlocks when you finish Shadows in Neon. Marshal Blake sends you after Marco Graziani, one of the two lieutenants of the First, and points you to Ranger Autumn MacMillan at the Red Mile.

1 – Go to the Red Mile on Porrima III (Red Mile Location)

Mission Text:
“I’m tracking Marco Graziani, head of a smuggling cartel and senior member of the First. Marshal Blake suggested I talk to Ranger Autumn MacMillan, who’s been trying to crack Marco’s smuggling operation. She’s currently at the infamous Red Mile cantina on Porrima III.”

The Red Mile is on Porrima III in the Porrima System, southeast of the Cheyenne System. Travel there and land at the Red Mile landing site.

2 – Talk to Autumn MacMillan in the Red Mile Cantina

Autumn MacMillan is the Ranger stationed at the Red Mile. You find her inside the cantina. After the conversation, follow her to meet her contact.

3 – Sit at the Table with Autumn and Jade MacMillan

Mission Text:
“I’m tracking Marco Graziani, head of a smuggling cartel and senior member of the First. At the Red Mile cantina, I talked to Ranger Autumn MacMillan, who’s been trying to crack Marco’s smuggling operation. She’s taking a meeting with a contact who might be able to help.”

Sit down at the table to talk to Autumn and Jade MacMillan.

4 – Talk to Mei Devine and Agree to Run the Red Mile

Mission Text:
“While tracking smuggling ringleader and senior First member Marco Graziani, I met with Ranger Autumn MacMillan and a rival smuggler named Jade. I learned that Red Mile’s owner, Mei Devine, might be able to give me Marco’s location. I need to find out what she wants in return.”

Mei Devine is inside the cantina. Talk to her and agree to take part as a Runner. Follow her and listen to her introduction to the Red Mile. She stands next to the starting door with the word Run all over it.

5 – Run the Red Mile and Activate the Beacon

Mission Text:
“While tracking smuggling ringleader and senior First member Marco Graziani, I met with Mei Devine, owner of the Red Mile cantina. A business partner of Marco’s, Mei agreed to give me his location if I run the Red Mile, a deadly stretch of terrain filled with lethal creatures.”

Go through the door and follow the path to an elevator that takes you down to the crater floor. Follow the mission marker to the beacon at the base of the tower and interact with it. Loot the dead Spacer next to the beacon for an issue of Grunt magazine.

6 – Return to Mei Devine After the Red Mile Run

Head all the way back the way you came and return to Mei Devine in the cantina.

7 – Check In with Autumn MacMillan

Mission Text:
“While tracking smuggling ringleader and senior First member Marco Graziani, I met with Mei Devine, owner of the Red Mile cantina. I agreed to run the Red Mile in exchange for Marco’s location, and now I’m waiting as Mei sends a message to let him know I’m coming. I should check in with Ranger MacMillan.”

Go back to the table and talk to Autumn MacMillan.

8 – Get Marco’s Location from Mei Devine in Her Office

By now Mei Devine is in her office on the lower level of the cantina. Talk to her and she tells you that Marco is waiting aboard his ship on Codos.

9 – Go to Codos in the Cheyenne System

Mission Text:
“While tracking smuggling ringleader and senior First member Marco Graziani, I met with Mei Devine, owner of the Red Mile cantina. She told me that Marco was on Codos, waiting aboard his ship to meet with me. All that’s left is to confront him.”

Codos is back in the Cheyenne System. It is a moon of Akila. Land at the landing site called Fortuna.

10 – Board Marco’s Ship, the Fortuna

Marco’s ship, the Fortuna, is right by the landing site. Board it and find Marco Graziani to confront him.

11 – Confront Marco and Find the Encrypted Slate

Mission Text:
“I confronted smuggling ringleader and senior First member Marco Graziani. Marco was unwilling to surrender himself and a fight broke out. Now that Marco is dead, I need to find evidence aboard his ship that might reveal the First’s plans and the location of their hideout.”

The conversation with Marco does not end well and a fight breaks out. Search Marco’s body for the Encrypted Slate and pick up Marco’s Keycard. The keycard opens a door in Marco’s office with plenty of loot and the turret controls, plus another door to Marco’s bedroom.

12 – Give the Encrypted Slate to Alex Shadid to Finish On the Run

Mission Text:
“I confronted smuggling ringleader and senior First member Marco Graziani and I obtained one of the First’s encrypted slates. Now I need to bring the slate to Alex Shadid, the Freestar Rangers’ cryptography expert.”

Travel back to The Rock in Akila City. Alex Shadid is on the level just above the bar. Give him the Encrypted Slate to complete On the Run.
