On The Run is a faction quest under the Freestar Collective in Starfield. Learn how to fix the Red Mile Bug, kill or negotiate with Marco, and find out if you can steal his ship!
List of Contents
There is a common bug where players can't land on Red Mile in Porrima III during this quest. It causes it to become unplayable.
You can fix this bug by going to a different planet in the same system. Save and then quit so the planets and landing spots will reload properly when you get back. After that, fast travel to Porrima III without using the Star Map on the menu, and you should be able to interact with Red Mile.

Travel to the Red Mile located on the Porrima III planet in the Porrima System. Enter through the main entrance where a security guard is standing outside.
Make your way towards the bar and speak to Autumn Macmillan. She will help you look for Marco through one of her contacts named Jade.
After she briefs you on the details of the meetup, follow Autumn to her contact who is seated at one of the tables in the bar.
Take a seat at the table. Jade will explain that Mei Divine can arrange a meeting between you and Marco, but you'll have to do Mei a favor first before that could happen.
Approach Mei Devine near the bar and speak with her. Tell her you're looking for Marco and she'll agree to make an arrangement for a meeting on the condition that you run the Red Mile.
Once you accept, she'll introduce you to all the patrons who are willing to place bets on your survival in the challenge. Enter through the Red Mile door and take the elevator to where the challenge begins.
Prepare to run the Red Mile. You will have to sprint across a canyon occupied with creatures and other dangerous inhabitants. At the end of the Red Mile, activate the beacon at the base of the tower then return to the starting point safely to complete your run.
Remember, you can bring your weapons with you throughout the whole course so be sure to use them against the enemies that will be attacking you.
Return to Mei Devine and she'll keep her end of the bargain by arranging a meeting with Marco for you.
After this, go back to the table where Autumn Macmillan is seated and tell her that you've successfully made arrangements to meet Marco.
Talk to Mei Devine again in her office and she'll tell you that you can find Marco aboard his ship on Codos in the Cheyenne star system. Once you've arrived, board Marco's ship which can be found right beside the landing pad.
Once inside, proceed to the second floor of the lounge area, then speak to Marco. You'll be given a choice to kill Marco in order to loot the Encrypted Slate from him, or you can simply just spare his life which leads him to surrender the slate to you in return.
The latter may be the easier option as you'll avoid having to deal with his guards onboard his vessel.
Return to the Freestar Ranger HQ in The Rock at Akila City and give the slate to Alex Shadid.
Killing Marco would make all the guards and turrets become hostile towards you. If you're going for this option, make sure to prepare beforehand to win easily against them.
You can loot his body to get a bunch of items, including Credits, Weapons, his Keycard, and the Encrypted Slate! The weapons and credits you can get from Marco's body will vary from player to player.
Negotiating with Marco will end the conversation peacefully, but you would still get the slate from him. If you have a companion with you, they would most likely disagree with this decision and slightly affect your affinity with them.
No matter how you deal with Marco, you won't be able to get his ship and use it for your own. You can still steal all his items in the ship if you want, but it will lead to combat if you get caught.
