Horizons Is there a closer source for meta alloys I do not know about?

[Iskariot]

I am currently docked at a station in LHS 3262.
To my surprise I was offered a mission to source 12 units of meta alloys.

I did not expect to see a mission like this in this system, because as far as I know the nearest source is almost 400 ly away.
They offer just over 2 million, which is laughable considering the distance of nearly 800 ly I would have to travel.

nobody?

Nebulae. Any of them, from what I understand, if you're lucky.

Is there a closer one than the Loop? I don't think so.

This is a troll mission, unless you already have the MAs on you, it's not worth it. Maybe for 10M, but not two.

That is why I felt it is so peculiar that I got this mission offer. It is totally absurd for a mere 2 million. I was very surprised to see this mission on the board of the station I am at.
The only way I could explain the mission was assuming that there must be a nearby source for meta alloys I knew nothing about.

I've been hijacking the federal convoys out of Merope. It's usually a corvette and 2 vultures, but the corvette has no weapons, and when it jumps the vultures don't, so you can scan the wake and go after him. Then hatch breaker, and they normally have 2-5 meta alloys each. Doesn't take long. But the items are stolen, so I don't know if that matters...

I think this mission might spawn when someone delivers a UA to the station.
