The main goal that you will receive from Governor Hurst will be to find his ship, which was hijacked by pirates, and destroy it. You can dutifully fulfill this task and complete the quest, but there are also other choices what to do. Below, we will describe each of the options so that you can pick the one you like best.
If you just destroy the ship as soon as you see it, it will be the most boring choice of all. Once you do this, you will need to return to Governor Hurst and report on the task. You won't get any additional rewards, only the package he promised to give you when you started the quest.
After contacting the crew of the enemy ship, you will have the opportunity to step on board. As it turns out, their systems are damaged and they need help. During the conversation, you will learn the shocking truth about the governor and that he is secretly collaborating with pirates.
With this information, you can either return to your ship or destroy the pirates to find even more evidence. Regardless of your choice, you can also save their lives without destroying the ship completely.
An alternative scenario for the quest could be to report the governor's activities. Thus, when you return from the pirates to his office, you will need to lie about destroying the enemy ship. Hurst will be satisfied with your work and give you the package.
When you're done with the governor, head to CDR Vincent Woodard to show him the evidence of Hurst's involvement with the Crimson Fleet. This way, you will reveal the truth, and Governor Hurst will be dismissed from his post, and you will finish the quest.
