Marsha Hicks (Tir / The Watchtower on planet A 2) The progenitor cells are available for purchase near Colonia. Unlock: Provide 200 units of Progenitor Cells

Invitation: Grade 4 access rep with the Blaster + Gain combat rank Expert or higher. Petra's G5 blueprints are armor, HRPs and heatsinks. Petra Olmanova (Asura / Sanctuary on planet 1 A) Mel Brandon is also one of the few people in the galaxy who does not look like he is strung out on a meth/smack cocktail. Once it is in Colonia, I can engineer some weapons for it, to get the bounties and to boost access rep with the engineers. I wish I had saved some bounties from the bubble, but 100k is nothing, and I have whistled for my mining Krait, which is on it's way to Caravanserai in my wake. I hit Allied with Colonia Council when stopping off on the Colonia highway and selling my accrued exploration data at the station Caravanserai in Gandharvi system, about 6,000 light years short of Colonia. Invitation: Friendly status with Colonia Council, then run invitation mission. He does G5 thrusters, shields, FSD, all three laser types, shield booster and FSDIs! This is the best engineer in the game, too bad he's so far away. Mel Brandon (Luchtaine / The Brig on planet A 1 C)

It wouldn't be a simple matter to swap the choices to different ones. As I may never be back, I will need to get them to G5 and to pick the right blueprint to pin. Maybe it will help anyone who has not done this and decides to do it later. As I am nearing Colonia for my first visit I though I'd start a thread about my efforts to unlock the engineers there.
