Mission Briefing

Initial Offer

Talk to Lynch

LYNCH

Ah, Captain $NM. I've been expecting you. I am Roman Lynch.

PLAYER

Mr. Lynch, as you know, what we have to discuss is...confidential.  

LYNCH

Oh, you may speak freely around my assistant Miggs. He is exceedingly loyal.

PLAYER

Okay. As Tayla probably told you, I need information on an artifact...

...what it is, its history and, most of all, its value.  

LYNCH

Of course. I have examined the holo your associate Tayla provided me.

I believe I could shed some light on this mystery...given the right motivation.

For example, there is a certain pilot who has caused me much professional embarrassment.

Could you take care of him for me, Captain?

PLAYER

You must be joking. I'm no assassin.

MIGGS

You want I should take $NM outside the airlock and teach him how to suck vacuum?

LYNCH

Gentlemen, please, let us remain professional.

$NM, I only want you to find the man and deliver a personal message for me.

Simply tell him how profoundly displeased and...disappointed I am with him.

Do this, and I will pay you 10,000 credits, as well as investigate this artifact of yours. Agreed?

Accept

Refuse

PLAYER Okay, what's this pilot's name?   LYNCH You'll find Captain Seelig in the Pentonville System. His ship is the Hooded Hawk. See that he gets my message. PLAYER And what about the artifact, Mr. Lynch?   LYNCH Naturally I'll need to borrow it, so my experts can appraise it. PLAYER Naturally, you'll excuse me while I laugh. Now that we've had our fun, will a hologram do?   LYNCH It will not. The analysis will take longer, and be less thorough. PLAYER But I'm sure you'll do your best for someone you owe a favor.   LYNCH Very well. This is my place. Come here when you're done for your pay.

PLAYER This sounds like an internal problem. Get one of your own people to do it.   LYNCH I go to great lengths for my friends, Captain. But I am not a charity. If you wish to learn about this artifact, you'll have to talk to me...sooner or later.

Accepted

Talk to Lynch

LYNCH

Ah, $NM. How did Captain Seelig react to my chastisement?

PLAYER

Actually, I haven't taken him the message yet.

LYNCH

I must admit, I'm surprised.

I suppose you're not as curious regarding the artifact as I had thought.

PLAYER

You suppose wrong. I just got...delayed. Trust me...

...I'll scour the nav points in the Pentonville system, find the Hooded Hawk...

...and tell Captain Seelig just how disappointed you are with him.  

LYNCH

I hope so. Unless you succeed, I fear I'll be quite incapable of helping you.

PLAYER

Or quite unwilling.  

LYNCH

Either way, neither of us profits. Remember that.

Rejected

Talk to Lynch

LYNCH

Well, if it isn't $NM. Have you reconsidered?

PLAYER

I'm waiting to be convinced.  

LYNCH

Your services are not indispensible to me...however, I'll humor you this time.

I want you to fly to the Pentonville System.

There you will locate a man named Seelig, captain of the Hooded Hawk.

I wish you to tell him how profoundly...disappointed I am in him.

For that service I will pay you 10,000 credits...

...and provide you with information regarding the object once you return here.

So...either accept my deal, or stop wasting my time.

Accept	Refuse
LYNCH Be on your way then, Captain $NM. Miggs and I await your speedy return.	PLAYER I still think you need to handle this one yourself, Mr. Lynch.

Miggs

Talk to Miggs

MIGGS

You don't wanna talk to me, 'cause I don't wanna talk to you.

And anyone that makes me do what I don't wanna do gets hurt, painwise, get me?

Mr. Lynch, sitting over there, HE'S the one you wanna talk to...

...so either state your bidness or take a hike, buddy.

In Flight

Talk to Seelig

# Hooded Hawk, come in.

# I'm looking for a Captain Seelig.

# I represent Roman Lynch.

SEELIG

Nice ship, Captain. How about a little tour?

# Sorry, but we have other business right now.

SEELIG

Okay, you got my attention. What do you want?

# Roman Lynch is very disappointed in you.

SEELIG

He is, is he?

# Yes.

# No.

SEELIG

Want to hear our response? Well, here it comes...

Failure

Talk to Lynch

PLAYER

Sorry I haven't been coming up with the goods, but I'll do better next time.

LYNCH

Regrettably, there shall be no next time.

Your services are no longer required, $NM. Good day to you.

PLAYER

What, you're cutting me off just because of one mess up?  

We had a deal, damn it! You owe me information on that artifact!

LYNCH

That deal was not based upon failure.

MIGGS

Want me to explain it to him, Mr. Lynch?

LYNCH

No, Miggs. $NM is incompetent, not stupid. Good day to you, $CS...

...and trouble me no more!

TAYLA - MISSION D

Summary	This is yet another shipment of Brilliance to New Constantinople. This time, however, Tayla provides your ship with a secret compartment which will prevent your contraband from being detected. She finally promises to give you some information of substance about the artifact after this last mission. When you return, you learn that she has almost no information, but has arranged for you to meet with a mobster named Roman Lynch in the bar on New Constantinople. He is a collector of artifacts and a highly resourceful individual.
Payment	10,000 credits and the installation of a secret compartment.
Requirements	Land at New Constantinople and return to Oakham.
Opponents	As you leave Oakham, you are accosted by William Riordian (confident ace in a Centurion), a rival for work from Tayla. When he finishes his conversation (assuming you let him survive that long), three other pirates in the vicininty decide to join him in attacking you (fanatical pros in Talons). If you go to Nav 2 without eliminating Riordian, he will meet you there with five hostile pirates (again, fanatical pros in Talons). All other pirates you meet during this mission are friendly.

• OK! Now you've gotten the secret compartment and you're all ready to go. Take your time. When you get to New Constantinople and drop off your contraband, go ahead and pick up some furs, wood or generic foods, and you can make a nice profit when you return to Oakham. - "Deetchman"

Secret Compartment (20 cargo units). The secret compartment is yours to keep. It will automatically be moved to your new ship should you buy another one after this point in the plot. It will allow you to keep up to 20 cargo units of contraband above and beyond what your cargo hold can carry. If you purchase 30 units of Brilliance, the first 20 are placed in your secret compartment and the other 10 overflow into your regular cargo bay. The oppo-site is not true. If you were to try to buy 60 units of grain for the Orion with no cargo expan-sion, it would fill the hold at 50 units and then report "no room on ship," as it won't over-flow into the secret compartment. Goods in the secret compartment will not be expelled into space if you try to jettison all cargo.

WC:CIC Game Guide

Description

Tayla informs you of the artifact's history... and how each of its previous owners died... or were killed. But to find out more, you need to run more Brilliance. This time straight into the heart of Confed space: New Constantinople.

Objectives

Carry cargo of Brilliance to New Constantinople, land, then return to Oakham.

Notes

• Watch out for Riordian. He is flying a Centurion, and he also has friends. The odds are not in your favor.
• So after all that, Tayla isn't much help, you've become a criminal, and now you need to talk to the Mob Boss of Gemini Sector. So head back to New Constantinople and talk to Roman Lynch.

Mission : Tayla

Comments : on all of tayla's missions just afterburn past the patrols with a centurion, if you don't own a centurion i suggest that you take a break from the plot missions and earn enough to buy one.

Mission : orion

Comments : you can easily afterburn past the patrols (or almost any enemy) with an orion too.

Mission : Tayla

Comments : Got to 3rd base with Tayla. She's not nearly as sarcastic after she sees your ship and 'equipment.' Oh, that may be info she wouldn't like me tossing around. Forget I mentioned it.

Comments : Riordian isn't flying a Centurian. He is flying a Centurion.
