Making your way to camp icarus, you'll meet captain senkevych who presents an interesting choice that shapes your whole investigation (this matters because each path reveals different aspects of the story). Starting with kryvenko's data collection route actually gives you better rewards and more background info, but takes longer since youll need to carefully extract data from all three antenna sites. The captain's destroy-everything approach is faster if youre just wanting to get things done quickly.

When you reach the saturn bunker, remember that artifacts actually make things worse here (the tesla anomaly gets super aggressive with them). The really interesting part is how each path leads to shterev differently - kryvenko's data shows his monolith connections while senkevych's route reveals it through communications chatter. Make sure to grab those psi-pills from the medic if youre following senkevych's path, since theyll save your life when shterev tries his mind tricks (these work because they block the psi-emissions he uses).

For the best experience, i'd suggest kryvenko's path since you get both better rewards and more story context (8400 coupons is nothing to sneeze at), plus you'll understand more about why everything happened the way it did. Just keep in mind that whichever path you choose, the bunker section gets pretty intense with those hallucinations, so taking it slow is usually the smart play.
