Talk to Icarus's commanding officer
Icarus Commanding Officer Location
Once inside Camp Icarus, you will immediately get this main mission. Follow the marker in your map to the building past the steps. The commanding officer will be inside. 
Get to the third floor and you'll see Captain Senkevych, the commanding officer of Icarus.
Talk to Dr. Kryvenko (Optional)
Talking to Dr. Kryvenko creates a decision point on whether you will side with him or Senkevych. Choosing either determines choices available to you later in this main mission. It is better to side with the doctor because choosing the captain will add steps to the aftermath of this mission.
| Choices | |
|---|---|
| Side with Kryvenko | Side with Senkevych |
Side with Dr. Kryvenko
Choosing the dialogue option “I'll get your data” will side you with Kryvenko. He will give you a flash drive to gather data from the psi-antennas.
Side with Capt. Senkevych
Choosing the dialogue option “I have more confidence in Senkevych” will side you with the captain. You will not have the option of retrieving data before destroying the psi-antenna.
Break psi-antennas / Retrieve data
Psi-Antenna Locations
Two are located within the territory of Camp Icarus, while the third one lies northeast outside the territory.
| 1 |  The first antenna is found in the southwest section of the camp where a lot Ward soldiers are stationed. |
|---|---|
| 2 |  The second antenna is found on top of the tower on the northeast section of the camp. |
| 3 |  The third antenna can be found on the roof of a small building located northeast in the forest. |
Return to Camp Icarus
Whomever you choose to side with when you first talked to Dr. Kryvenko in the optional objective, will determine to whom you will return to.
| Choices | |
|---|---|
| Kryvenko Route | Senkevych Route |
Return to Dr. Krevynko
If you chose to gather intel from the antenna, return the data to the doctor. He'll tell you check the Saturn bunker area and inspect the psi-beacon without destroying it.
Return to Capt. Senkevych
If you chose to destroy the antennas, return to the captain. He'll tell you that the signal may be coming from the base itself. He tells you to check the Saturn bunker area and destroy the beacon emitting the signal.
Explore the Saturn bunker area
After talking to your respective NPC, you must go underground in the Saturn bunker area. You will be granted passage and your next objective is to find the psi-beacon.
An Electro Anomaly called Tesla is circling one of the rooms in the bunker. This anomaly is attracted to artifacts and will chase you if you have one equipped. Fortunately, it moves slower than Skif does and cannot enter narrow spaces.
Additionally, getting close to a Psi-beacon causes hallucinations of enemies to appear, which can attack and damage you. Try to complete the objective as fast as you can before the hallucinations get worse.
| Choices | |
|---|---|
| Kryvenko Route | Senkevych Route |
Inspect the psi-beacon
Once you reach the psi-beacon, turning it off and inspecting it will get you the battered flash drive. Afterwards you must exit the bunker and report back to the doctor.
Destroy the psi-beacon
Once you reach the psi-beacon, attack it with your knife to destroy it. Collect fragments of the psi-beacon as an additional objective. Afterwards you must exit the bunker and report back to the captain.
Exit the bunker area
After exiting the bunker, you must return to the respective NPCs you have initially chosen.
| Choices | |
|---|---|
| Kryvenko Route | Senkevych Route |
Return to Dr. Krevynko
Return to Kryvenko and he will tell you that the traitor Shterev can be found in Echo Station.
Return to Capt. Senkevych
When you exit the bunker, Senkevych will tell you that is in the comms area. He will tell you to meet with his medic. Choosing to side with the captain will add to the objectives in Dead Frequency.

Also, after finishing Dead Frequency, Cpt. Senkevych will contact you over the radio to ask you about Shterev, as well as to thank you for saving his men from the Alpha and Bravo teams and will give you 10.500 coupons (Stalker difficulty, if that makes a difference). For me, it happened while I was nearing Sultansk.
