That's right... it's time to catch up on all those missing P2 updates! Cover your heads...
Listen Ace, here's the pitch. I produce a show called "Space Jox", where we get hot shots like yourself to re-enact feats of great heroism and all that other cool stuff. The problem is that my regular stuntman was turned into space dust on the last gig, freak accident, how was I meant to know he suffered from blackouts? Anyway, if you are interested meet me at Nav Point #44, I'll be setting up the rig.
Ciao Baby.....
Due to a recent attack, one of our radar stations was badly damaged, causing some crates containing extremely expensive, delicate compoments for our latest satellites to drift out into space. These must be retrieved, as they have taken years to develop, and the future of the company is relying on the sales of this technology to stay in business. We have tracked the equipment and have their co-ordinates, which we will transmit to your computer upon accepting the mission, to prevent our rivals from finding out where they are. Can you help us?
We are in need of a brave and reliable pilot to help to protect one of our new satellite installations which is being constructed at Nat Point #176. The task is nearly complete, so we can't afford it to be attack whilst we arrange full-time protection for it. There are some security patrollers at the installation, but they wouldn't hold out against an attack for long. We will pay you well, if you complete the task.
We have recently had an intolerable amount of attacks on our cargo ships, as they travel between the planet Leviatha (Nav Point #116), and our Equipment Station (Nav Point #116). It is essential that these ships arrive at their destination intact, so that we can continue to produce high quality equipment for the miners on the planet. We require a skilled pilot to escort a ship from Leviatha, to our equipment station, to ensure it has a safe journey. Any attackers must be taught a lesson.
There are an unsavory bunch of louts from the planet Hermes, known as the Good-Time-Gang, who are bringing in a load of drugs, pleasure borgs, and beer so that they can continue with their lives of drugs, debauchery, and the corruption of our innocent young daughters. Its about time that we put a stop to this, and we are confident that you will enjoy disposing of this vermin. We're offering a very large sum for this. Its an offer you can't refuse. They were last seen at Nat Point #15.
This is an emergency! The Papogod pirates have managed to capture one of our capital ships, board it and kill the entire crew. It is only a matter of time before they are able to override the ship's computer and find out the access codes to our computers, revealing all sorts of classified information to them. You must go to Nav Point 20 and destroy the vessel, along with any enemy ships in the area, which may have had the codes transmitted to them. They may also have erected some defences, so be careful.
We have a Prison transporter ship which is on its way to Hades to drop off its 'load'. It has two escorts which have picked up an unusually high pirate presence in the area, and are worried about being attacked. We need an experienced pilot to go and escort the ship, and help out in case of an attack on it. If you are up to the job, we'll make it worth your while. We'll transmit the co-ordinates to your computer upon accepting, for security reasons.
