At present, we have a secret truce with the CIS, and have tipped them off about an attack planned by the Papogods on their Capital ship, The Patriot, currently at {TOKEN}{RAND_NAV1} {RANGE}. We are unable to defend it ourselves, because if the Papogods find out about the truce, they will destroy us. It is vital that the carrier survives, or our newly found relationship will be ruined. // // Diary {PAGE} Working For : CHIRICHAN GUARD CAPTAIN {CR} Defend a CIS carrier at {TOKEN}{RAND_NAV1} {RANGE}. She is under attack by Papogod pirates. // // Passed {PAGE} FROM: CHIRICHAN GUARD CAPTAIN {CR} TO: SER LEV ARRIS {CR} {CR} We thank you. We can now continue our negotiations with the CIS, which may legitimize the Chirichan clan. This has been a major victory. If we need any help in the future, we'll know who to call. // // Failed {PAGE} FROM: CHIRICHAN GUARD CAPTAIN {CR} TO: SER LEV ARRIS {CR} {CR} With the death of that carrier comes the death of hope for peace. Now the CIS, the Papogods, as well as certain members of our own clan are enemies to us. You may have started a civil war which will destroy the Chirichan for all time. If I have but one mountain to climb before my death, Ser Lev Arris, it will be to ensure that your smoldering corpse has been scattered throughout the galaxy in a thousand shredded pieces. // // // // MISSION # 000B // Offer {PAGE} // // Diary {PAGE} // // Passed {PAGE} // // Failed {PAGE} // // // // MISSION # 000C // Offer {PAGE} // // Diary {PAGE} // // Passed {PAGE} // // Failed {PAGE} // // // // MISSION # 000D // Offer {PAGE} // // Diary {PAGE} // // Passed {PAGE} // // Failed {PAGE} // //====================================================== // // MISSION # 001A // Offer {PAGE} FROM: HARDING CONSTRUCTION - KARATIKUS HQ {CR} {CR} We need a volunteer to patrol the shipping route between CS:Reva (NAV 136) {CALCRANGE}{136}{RANGE} and SS:Tersa (Nav 147). There have been a lot of attacks on innocent ships recently, and these pests must be destroyed. We will pay 520CR per kill on this one. // // Diary {PAGE} Working For : HARDING CONSTRUCTION - KARATIKUS HQ {CR} Patrol the area between CS:Reva (Nav 136) {CALCRANGE}{136}{RANGE} and SS:Tersa (Nav 147) hunting for pirates. // // Passed {PAGE} FROM: HARDING CONSTRUCTION - KARATIKUS HQ {CR} TO: SER LEV ARRIS {CR} {CR} Thank you, Ser Arris. Your credits have been deposited. // // Failed {PAGE} FROM: HARDING CONSTRUCTION - KARATIKUS HQ {CR} TO: SER LEV ARRIS {CR} {CR} Every day this route remains blocked, meaning mounting costs for us.

We shall be running a 'special' cargo ship between the SS Tersa (Nav 147) {CALCRANGE}{147}{RANGE}, and the moon Petra (Nav 95). We have had word that the CIS have had this information leaked to them, and will be trying to put a stop to the convoy. We need someone to clear the route of CIS agents, so that the delivery can go ahead as planned. You will be paid well, as we appreciate that there is quite a risk involved. // // Diary {PAGE} Working For : CHIRICHAN GUARD CAPTAIN {CR} Patrol the shipping route between SS Tersa (Nav 147) {CALCRANGE}{147}{RANGE} and the moon of Petra (Nav 95).

You have proven yourself loyal, faithful, and worthy of the reward we have put into your account. // // Failed {PAGE} FROM: CHIRICHAN GUARD CAPTAIN {CR} TO: SER LEV ARRIS {CR} {CR} We asked you for a simple favour and you denied us.

The shipment consists of two ships, which are now traveling totally unescorted. They plan to use the anonymity of the ships as cover, but we've discovered the name under which they are traveling. We need you to travel the rather busy route between the planets, identifying all cargo ships you see. Once you discover ships traveling as "Gifts & Antiques", blow them away. We'd much rather this shipment be destroyed quickly than risk a salvage operation, as pirates often booby trap their ships. // // // Diary {PAGE} Working For : DAVIS & CO., ARMAMENTS AND SUPPLIES {CR} Identify and destroy two cargo ships traveling as "Gifts & Antiques" between Bex (Nav 2) {CALCRANGE}{2}{RANGE} and Hephaestus (Nav 1).

We appreciate your help, and we'll call you if we need you again. // // // Failed {PAGE} FROM: DAVIS & CO., ARMAMENTS AND SUPPLIES {CR} TO: SER LEV ARRIS {CR} {CR} That shipment was very valuable to us, and is now in the wrong hands.

We have discovered a new material, called Teflo-Weave, which is resistant to all stains. There will be a high demand for this due to the pant-rippling nature of space combat. Unfortunately our deadly rival, Rear-Guard Ltd., has stolen our prototype samples, and are heading back to their labs at Nav Point #131. They must be stopped! ID and destroy their ship before they reach Rear-Guard HQ, and return the pants to us at our own labs at Nav Point #170 {CALCRANGE}{170}{RANGE}. // // Diary {PAGE} Working For : STAIN-AWAY CO. {CR} Track down the ship going by the name of "Pant Parts", heading between Nav Point #170 {CALCRANGE}{170}{RANGE} and #131.

The hostilities between us have been escalating for some time, and the inevitable showdown has finally come to pass. Unfortunately for us, we underestimated the strength of the pirates, and are currently outnumbered by approximately two to one.
