The first quest can be started by approaching the dark-colored robot in the back of the McClarence Outfitters store, which can be found in New Atlantis near the spaceport, to the left of "The Viewport" bar.

Jason McClarence will ask the player what they think about a strange costume on a mannequin in front of him. Once the player finishes this initial interaction, they will reach Jason's base dialogue options.
Selecting the option "Don't you sell anything new?" will prompt Jason to vent about his situation. A new option will appear, "You seem to be having problems. Maybe I can help you out somehow?"; selecting this will prompt him to talk about an idea that tasks the player to go collect materials for him.
If the player agrees, they'll start the quest and be handed a slate and given an objective. If they decline, they can return later to change their minds and begin the quest.
The player will need to go the planet the objective points them to and procure materials from the alien creatures.
Once the player has all of the materials, they can return them to Jason. The player can choose to leave and come back in 24 hours, or wait, in which case they will be given the objective to wait for Jason and the screen will fade to black.
When the player returns, or the screen fades back in (in which case the player will find themselves seated on a couch in his shop), they will find a spacesuit and helmet on the mannequin that previously held the dancer's outfit.
The player receives an objective to take these items. Doing so will complete the quest.
After the quest is completed, if the player speaks to Jason again, one of the dialogue options that will come up is: "[Extract Mod] So, you can improve my spacesuits?". Selecting this will prompt him to explain his need for materials.
If the player then selects the "[Extract Mod]" option again, a mini-tutorial will start where the player will be taught how to use the Legendary Extraction System.
First off, the player will get a pair of Miscellaneous objectives to "Take the helmet", or the player can select the "[Extract Mod]" option yet again, to use an existing Spacesuit or Helmet they have in their inventory. If the player grabs the helmet offered, dialogue will automatically start as if the player pressed that button.
From here, the player will be taken through the system as described in the Legendary Extraction System section.
After this, the player should continue bringing more items for Jason to extract from. After a third item is handed over, the next time the player speaks with Jason, the next quest will start.
