Talk to Masterson

MASTERSON

Well, $NM, with your help Oxford base has transferred most of its valuables offworld,

and until the Retro threat abates, we will remain an empty shell.

Now the business about my contact...

I'm afraid my friend is a little wary about meeting you.

However, if you were able to provide reliable services to a few other employers around Gemini,

then I could pass on more than just my own recommendation.

Perhaps then we could talk further.

PLAYER

Sounds like you're changing the terms of our agreement.

I didn't intend to do this much work.  

MASTERSON

Hold on, $NM.

I'm not setting the conditions anymore.

I'm just making a suggestion on how to alleviate his paranoia.

You had best take my advice and find a few employers around Gemini.

Then we can continue our business.

You drive a hard bargain, Masterson.

MASTERSON

Well, $NM, with your help Oxford base has transferred most of its valuables offworld,

and until the Retro threat abates, we will remain an empty shell.

Now the business about my contact...

I'm afraid my friend is still a little wary about meeting you,

and my recommendation alone is not enough.

Although I have heard from one contact who says you served her well,

you could ease my friend's paranoia by adding another good report to the list.

I'm sure then he would let down his guard, and I could arrange a meeting for you.

PLAYER

I don't like getting the run around.  

MASTERSON

These are his conditions, not mine.

I recommend you make the investment, then return here to Oxford.

PLAYER

You still drive a hard bargain, Masterson.

MASTERSON

Well, $NM, with your help Oxford base has transferred most of its valuables offworld,

and until the Retro threat abates, we will remain an empty shell.

Now the business about my contact...

I have very good news.

Multiple sources around Gemini report that you provide reliable services.

So, my hitherto secret contact is now willing to meet with you.

His name is Monte. You will find him on Macabee base in the Nexus system.

Good luck. I hope he provides you with useful information.

PLAYER

Thanks, Masterson.

Completed, Two or Three Other Fixers, Repeat

MASTERSON

I'm surprised to see you again, $NM.

I have arranged the meeting between you and my friend at Macabee.

What do you want now?

PLAYER

Don't you have any other information?  

MASTERSON

Other information?

You had better get with the program.

Go see Monte at Macabee in Nexus.

Or do you think your good looks will bring your gun back?

PLAYER

Maybe Monte can tell me.

Scripted Encounters

"Unknown" forces upon entering Perry system

Notes

• The unknown ships in Perry system are fast but don't have much firepower. They don't respond to any communications for the time being, you'll have to keep guessing who they could be. They shouldn't prove much of a challenge for you though.

• When you get back to Oxford, Masterson gives you your pay, but unfortunately his friend isn't willing to see you until you gain a few more recommendations. You are now left to find a few employers and you can fly for them in whichever order you choose, however for this guide we'll start with our old friend Lynn Murphy. You can find her on Edom, an agricultural planet in the New Constantinople system.

Mission : Employers

Comments : Of the three employers (Confed, Murphy, and Tayla), only two are need to be satisfied before Masterson introduces you to his friend. In my first play of RF, I completely missed Tayla.

Mission : Steltek Gun

Comments : I really don't remember the details, it was a long time ago, but I was able to keep my Seltek Gun from Privateer by rewriting my savegame file extension so that it would be recognized by Righteous Fire.
