2. Obtain the Ship Records from Aegis

Starfield - Obtain Ship Records

After getting information from the worker, head over to Aegis (Agent Plato) and try to obtain the Ship Records. You can find him inside of MAST, on the Defense Research floor.

3. Read the Slate and Identify the Smuggler's Ship

Starfield - Read the Slate

Read the slate you got from Agent Plato to identify the smuggler's ship, which carries "Potatoes". You can find it easily through the New Items tab in your inventory.

4. Report to Sergeant Yumi

Starfield - Talk to Yumi

Yumi Question Answer
Do you know the name, by any chance? Anansi

Report to Sergeant Yumi about your lead on the smuggler's ship. Select "Anansi" from the ship names to get the correct answer.

5. Obtain the Contraband

Starfield - Obtain Contraband

Head over to the smuggler's ship and get the contraband from the ship's inventory. The ship's captain, Malawi, will try to bribe you to get away with it. You can accept it to get additional Credits or do the right thing and report her to Sergeant Yumi.

If you do not accept Malawi's Bribe, you can loot the Anansi after dealing with Malawi. Keep in mind that the Anansi will only appear during the events of this quest, so it is best to take everything you need before reporting to Sergeant Yumi, as the Anansi will disappear by then.

(Optional) Bargain With the Captain for 2500 Credits

Starfield - Bargain with Malawi

Malawi will offer you credits to not report her contraband. This can be an easy way to earn yourself an extra 2500 Credits, and can be further doubled to 5000 Credits with enough points in the Negotiation Skill.

6. Report to Sergeant Yumi

Starfield - Report to Yumi

Report to Sergeant Yumi and tell him what happened on the ship. The dialogue options will change depending on your choice, accepting the bribe or not, when you get back to Sergeant Yumi.

The rewards from this quest won't give you additional items even if you snitch on Malawi and turn over the contraband.
