Mission Briefing

Initial Offer

Talk to Sandoval

SANDOVAL
Welcome to New Detroit. You look like a man who's hungry for work.
PLAYER
Among other things. You hiring?
SANDOVAL
Indeed I am. A simple delivery of iron, strictly legit.
PLAYER
I've heard that song before, Mr...?  
SANDOVAL
Sandoval, Ernesto Sandoval. And you are...?
PLAYER
$NM. Call me $CS.  
SANDOVAL
$CS, you'll be running the load of iron to the Liverpool refinery in Newcastle...
...which is just a short jump from here. No contraband, no hassles.
Just dock at the station. My people will pick up the cargo.
Afterwards, return here for your payment, 15,000 credits. Interested?
PLAYER
Sure, why not? I could use the credits. What about an advance?
SANDOVAL
Will this do?
PLAYER
What is it, some sort of...sculpture?
SANDOVAL
It's an alien artifact. Extremely valuable.
Soon I'll be selling it for a considerable sum.
In the meantime, I'll let you hold on to it as collateral.
PLAYER
In other words, it's hot and you want to distance yourself from it.
SANDOVAL
For awhile. If you'll just hold onto it for me, just for this run...
...I'll pay you a bonus of 5,000 when you return. Fair enough?
Accept Refuse
PLAYER
I suppose...though I'm sure I'll wind up regretting this...  
SANDOVAL
Go with God, my suspicious friend. And hurry back.
PLAYER
Sorry, I'm looking for a higher paying mission right now.
SANDOVAL
You fool, you have no idea...
All right, fine. Take a hike, I've got my own problems.

Accepted

Talk to Sandoval

SANDOVAL
What are you doing here? You should've been gone long ago!
PLAYER
Some other business came up.  
SANDOVAL
This delay is risking us both!
PLAYER
I thought this job was just a run of iron to the Liverpool refinery base.
SANDOVAL
The artifact. Is it safe?
PLAYER
Sure. Why wouldn't it be?  
SANDOVAL
Just get it off this base, $CS.
PLAYER
What's the hurry?  
SANDOVAL
You don't want to know. Trust me.
Run the iron from here to the Liverpool refinery in Newcastle.
Your ship has already been loaded.
Deliver the iron, return here, and I'll pay you 15,000 for your trouble...
...along with a 5,000 bonus when you return my artifact.
PLAYER
All right, I'll get right on it. You've made your point.  
SANDOVAL
I hope so...for both our sakes...

Rejected

Talk to Sandoval

PLAYER
I'm reconsidering your offer, Sandoval.  
SANDOVAL
A wise move. I can't understand why you walked away from such an easy job.
I have something here that I want to show you, $CS.
PLAYER
What is it, some sort of...sculpture?
SANDOVAL
It's an alien artifact. Extremely valuable.
I'll be selling it for a considerable sum.
If you accept my mission I'll let you hold on to it as collateral.
You'll run iron from here to the Liverpool refinery in Newcastle.
Once there, dock and allow my men to retrieve the cargo.
Return here with my artifact, and I'll pay you a 15,000 fee...
...along with 5,000 for the artifact's return.
Do we have a deal?
Accept Refuse
SANDOVAL
Good. Keep this artifact in a safe place.
I will have your ship loaded with iron immediately.
Get moving.
PLAYER
Maybe later, Sandoval.  
SANDOVAL
I need to find someone right away, so don't take too long to make up your mind.

Description

Sandoval is sitting in the bar on New Detroit, and offers you a mission. 15,000 credits to run Iron to Liverpool Refinery. That's a lot of money for running Iron. Plus a bonus of 5,000 credits to hold on to his expensive (stolen) alien artifact. What a great guy! Or is he...

Objectives

Carry cargo of Iron to Liverpool refinery, land, then return to New Detroit.

Scripted Encounters

None

Notes

  • You are bound to meet some enemies along the way. Try not to take damage. It's expensive, you don't get paid, and there is no shipyard on Liverpool.
  • When you get back to New Detroit, Sandoval is gone... so instead talk to Tayla.
