Yesterday a "Serpentis Vigil" plex escalated to "Booster R&D" for me. This was the first time I've done this one and didn't know what to expect. I also didn't find any info on it anywhere on the web so I just headed in and hoped for the best.
The first part was simple and my exploration fitted Ishtar (scan probe launcher and all) did okay against BC's and HAC's. Loot from the Shadow HAC included a low grade Snake Beta (I've gotten a low grade Snake Alpha in "Mindflood" before from a Shadow frig).
Part two scared me a little with me being dropped in the midddle of trouble consisting of BC's, HAC's and four BS's. But... ISHTAR FTW!.. the natural resists of my HAC were just up to the task and again I cleaned up the mess, this time giving me some cheap Coreli C-type modules (honestly, hardly worth anything in contracts).
For the third part I figured as I don't have to go through a restricted gate, I might as well bring my mission fitted Domi, which I picked up and dropped in the middel of... about 100 (not exagerating, really) BC's and HAC's. Fortunately they are split up in four groups and none is closer then 150 km's. They are also not insta-aggroing so I picked the first group, the one with the Shadow HAC (and crap for loot) and worked my way through it. Realizing that some ships after a while shift their aggro from me to my drones I eventually had to dock my drones several times to stop them from getting shot. There's new waves coming in as well (some scrambeling frigs too) and after about two exhausting hours I was finally working on the last HAC thinking "THIS BETTER BE WORTH IT!"
Well... it wasn't. It gave me almost 30 mil in bounties and countless wrecks to salvage (which I wasn't into at that moment) but other then that, there was no final message or officer spawn.
So here's my question... Has anybody done this plex before and what was your outcome? Was this really it? In that case the next time I better just kill the Shadow ship and boogie on to the next system in stead of wasting my time.

I have done this expedition before, except my experience deviated from yours in that, yes I did warp into the middle of that massive group of BCs you described.
However...
I then got a message basically saying "Arriving in this place was an error, you saw a huge Serpentis buildup and wisely warped out. Now go to their main labs in..."
And it escalated from thereon out...I reckon you just got stuck at an unlucky stage :(

Here's a nice bit of info, I've done "Booster R&D" now three times total and since the first time I've decided to just pick up my domi to do this escalation, however...
Every single time I show up with my bs the escalation stops. Not sure if it's just coincidence, but I'll try next time to do the complete thing with a mission fitted HAC.
