: '''PLAYER'''
: Here's your payment of 10,000 credits for the last mission.   
: Fine, Murphy.  Look, all I want is to get down to Palan.
: We have an incoming freighter laden with materials about to be attacked by several fighters.   
: I'm looking for...an old friend, and I can't get through.  
: Valuables as well as vital supplies are aboard.   
 
: You'll probably find it somewhere near Nav 1, Oxford system.   
: '''MURPHY'''
: Rendezvous with the freighter and bring it back safely...

: Bronte Corporation has thrown up a blockade around Palan.   
: Tough luck...but you could turn a nice profit, if you're smart.   
: There's two corporations in the Palan System, Rondell and Bronte.

: ...while kicking up their own to fill the void, stealing Rondell's market share. 
: I'm organizing the resistance for Rondell from this base. Hired resistance.

As he is often sought after for advice on artifacts, you should seek Dr. Monkhouse on Palan.

* The "private collectors" Masterson mentioned are attacking the Vulcan's Forge at Nav 3. There are around 6 of them, all in Demons. Even two missiles won't take out a Demon, so you'll need to weaken the shields first.
