Blitz
- Kill group 4, loot the can which is dropped from the last ship in group 4
- Make sure you can tank group 3, 4 and 5 at the same time

Note
The loot is also pretty poor, and most of it ended up being Amarr Tags.

Asteroids
Veldspar - 51 asteroids

Standing hits
Killing one of the transporters incurs a 2.4% standing penalty

The Viral Agent was dropped in a can by the last ship I killed and not the third transport. The ship that dropped it for me was an Imperial Templar Muzakir.

I tried to blitz this by killing all 3 transports only to find 10 military units in each. So I went ahead and killed all but Group 5. The ship out of group 4 that dropped the Viral Agents was the Imperial Cruiser. Which I am pretty sure was the last ship I killed from group 4. Considering DarkRooster's comment above I think it is more likely that the last ship killed in group 4 will drop the mission loot.

I too tried the blitz advice on the page and found it to be incorrect. I'm will edit the page and remove it.

I warped onto this mission, and it took me straght to main room on top of all rats which I thoguht was strange... I went to station, then when I went back, I ended up at a warp gate first?? Really weird.

Viral Agent was dropped by last transport destroyed and not last ship.
-- WhiteRing (2009-05-24 15:51:56)
lots of confusion in comments about the blitz. it's actually the last ship destroyed in group 4 (transport group) that drops the container and mission completion.
-- DetriMental (2009-06-19 12:11:06)
I attacked group 4 before 5 and 6 (or rather they attacked me). I killed them all, transports last, 3rd transport dropped the Viral Agent. I never got aggro from the remaining groups that are supposed to aggro when you tackle group 4.
-- ReawiDarkfly (2009-07-20 13:02:52)
For me I destroyed all groups but group 5 first, the viral agent was dropped by the last transport I killed (which was also the last ship in group 4) Group 5 never aggroed me until I attacked it (even after killing all of group 4 including the transports.)

Tanked easily in my Hurricane; 2x therm 2x em hardeners
-- MattZ (2009-12-13 22:35:28)
Confirmed blitz - kill group 4 only, last ship I killed (transport) in group 4 dropped Viral Agent.
-- CrazyShotgun (2010-02-05 15:54:21)
Confirmed blitz again: Killed last of Group 4 (this gave green obj completed in journal), last ship killed in Group 4 dropped the virals required to complete mission.
-- WeFloyd (2010-04-27 11:23:55)
Completed easily in a Myrmidon.
