Alright, so you've finished up 'Intelligences of an Artificial Persuasion' and Janey's got another job for you. This one's called 'Nothing is Never an Option,' and it's available in Concordia. You'll be heading out to Outlands Spur, so get ready for some chilly wasteland action. The mission's level 15, so you should be pretty well-equipped to handle it.

Where am I? You'll start in Concordia, but Janey wants you to head to Outlands Spur.
What do I see? Janey mentions a signal coming from Outlands Spur.
What do I do? Make your way to Outlands Spur.
Why this way? This is the only way to progress the mission.

Where am I? You're in Outlands Spur, specifically heading towards the southeast corner of the map.
What do I see? You'll eventually reach a frozen lake. Keep an eye out for a waypoint.

Where am I? You've reached Amelia, who is located near the waypoint in the southeast of Outlands Spur.
What do I see? Amelia is there, and you'll soon be facing waves of Scavs.
What do I do? Prepare to defend Amelia. You'll need to survive three waves of Scav enemies. These waves can include some tougher Badass variants, and Boomer himself will show up in the final wave.
Why this way? Amelia needs your protection from Boomer and his crew who are trying to steal her stuff.

Where am I? Still at Amelia's location in Outlands Spur.
What do I see? The Scavs are dropping in from a tall cliff nearby.
What do I do? Keep fighting until all three waves are cleared. Make sure to take down Boomer when he appears in the last wave.
Why this way? Defeating all the enemies, especially Boomer, is the only way to complete the defense and finish the mission.

Where am I? Amelia's location, after the fighting is done.
What do I see? The Scavs are defeated.
What do I do? Talk to Amelia to complete the mission.
Why this way? This is the final step to get your rewards.
- Keep an eye on Amelia's health during the fight; if she goes down, you might have to restart the waves.
- Use cover effectively, especially when Badasses or Boomer show up. Those Scavs can hit hard!
- Don't forget to loot all the fallen enemies – you might find some decent gear or ammo.
After you chat with Amelia, you'll get your hard-earned rewards: 2333 XP, 221 dollars, and you'll get to choose between a new assault rifle or a shield. Pick the one that best suits your current needs!
