Starfield High Price to Pay Walkthrough
At the end of No Sudden Moves, Noel gets a message from Vladimir at The Eye. Speak to her to learn that The Eye was attacked by the Starborn. One of your Companions left behind on They Eye is in critical condition, but Vladimir insists that you stay behind at the Lodge to protect the Artifacts. You'll have to make a decision here - defend the Lodge from the Hunter or help Vladimir and the other Constellation member at The Eye.
If you decide to stay at the Lodge, head upstairs to the bar and check on Walter. You'll find the Hunter has already infiltrated the Lodge and is attacking him. Shoot the Hunter a few times to get him off Walter and hold him off until Noel has all the Artifacts ready to be moved. When she calls out that she's ready, join up with her and follow her down into the basement, then through the side door into The Well. Make sure to stay near her at all times to avoid her stopping at random locations.
Escort your fellow Constellation members through The Well and into the elevator heading up to the Spaceport. Continue following them until you get to your Ship. Board it, and take off from Jemison. Once you get into orbit, Scorpius will send a transmission commending your persistence. If you pick the non-attack option, the Starborn will leave you alone for now, allowing you to peacefully get to They Eye. When you get there, you'll find whoever was in critical condition earlier now dead in the halls. Check up on your other Companions and Vladimir to find them injured, but alive.
If you decide to go to The Eye to check up on Vladimir and your injured Companion, leave the Lodge through the front doors. You'll be approached by the Companion that accompanied you to the Lodge, making sure you're positive about your decision to leave as they'll be barricading the door soon. Tell them you're sure, then make your way to The Eye. Talk to all your Companions and Vladimir to help them get back on their feet. Once that's done, return to The Lodge with everyone.
Unfortunately, your Companion at the Lodge will be found dead in the library. After finding them, you'll find Vasco at the back of the library, Matteo in the gardens, and Walter in the bar upstairs. They'll tell you that Noel escaped into The Well with the Artifacts in hand. Head down to the basement and take the side door here to The Well. Right ahead, Noel will be cowering by the staircase. Speak to her and the Hunter will appear. Like above, escort Noel onto your ship and fly to The Eye. The Hunter will give up chase once you're up in space.
No matter which route you took, your next course of action is to speak to Vladimir and Noel. With The Lodge and The Eye now compromised, you now need to keep the Artifact somewhere inconvenient for the Starborn to take them. You can choose to either store them on your mobile Ship, or a defensible Outpost. Do note that the place you build the Armillary at will be more prone to Starborn attacks.
When you're done building the Armillary, return to The Lodge on New Atlantis. You'll be informed that the deceased's belongings have been moved to a storage container in the basement. Speak to Matteo and he'll inform you of a pattern he noticed while the Hunter was attacking - they kept mentioning 'Unity'. He suggests visiting the preist of Sanctum Universum to see if he can glean any meaning from the phrase.

When you are at Noel in the basement and the Hunter attacks you, you can actually beat him. Once he loses two thirds of his health, he will disappear. It is a very tough fight and will take a long time. He will still appear later while you are escaping. But once you reach space, he will congratulate you for being able to "force him to retreat". And he will give you some useless random weapon.
