Talk to Bartender
- BARTENDER
- New to $BN? Good. We could use some more flyboys hauling cargo around here.
- There's been a shift in demand from the usual metals to radioactive ore.
- Haven't seen anything like it. With the invention of particle weapons...
- ...radioactive ores became less and less valuable.
- I guess the Confed must be experimenting on some new weapon, huh?
- Well the way the war is going, looks like they'll need it.
Talk to Bartender
- BARTENDER
- Welcome to $BN, the newest boomtown of the Gemini Sector!
- We got ahold of a dozen of those new Sediment Imaging Satellites...
- ...and it's made all the difference in the world.
- SIS has revealed deposits of tungsten, iron and radioactive ores we never would've found.
- Business couldn't be better, pal. You came at a good time.
Talk to Bartender
- BARTENDER
- There is one bit of bad news here on $BN.
- The base is being shaken by tremors.
- We can't keep the damn mines from collapsing. We fix one...
- ...then a quake hits and collapses two others.
- Unless this 'roid stabilizes, $BN may be in for some trouble.

Talk to Bartender
- BARTENDER
- Just flew in, did you? Let me ask you a question.
- Did you notice the increased militia and Confed patrols on your approach to $BN?
- The Confed is losing hundreds of ships a day to the war.
- That means they need more metal for replacement ships...
- ...and they're stepping up protection of mining bases to keep raw material out of Kilrathi hands.
- I don't know about you, but I feel a lot safer because of it...
Talk to Bartender
- BARTENDER
- Hey, an assassin from the Church of Man came by $BN last week.
- He was looking to whack some artist, a writer or something. Go figure.
- Don't ask me what the hell a writer would be doing on a mining base, though.
- Those Retros give me the creeps. I hear they hate all technology...
- ...just the kind of wackos you want to run into on a space station, eh?
Talk to Bartender
- BARTENDER
- This dancer from Saxtogue came to $BN last week.
- Real operator, this woman.
- You heard of Roman Lynch? Well, she lifted one of his bank codes.
- She's been siphoning off money slow, but I think she's in over her head.
- If Lynch finds out, she's history.

Talk to Bartender
- BARTENDER
- The Confeds are buying as much raw material as ever,
- but they haven't been able to provide mining bases with much protection.
- I guess they're more worried about fighting Retros.
- Anyway, Retros and pirates are nailing a lot of the ore ships that leave here.
- So the Confeds end up losing a lot of their supplies.
- I guess I shouldn't worry, though. We still get our money.
Talk to Bartender
- BARTENDER
- Mining bases like $BN used to be pretty safe from Retro aggression.
- I guess the Retros don't think of mining as a very tecnological activity.
- But in the last couple of months, the Retros have been getting more organized.
- They're systematically attacking all types of bases.
- Doing as much as they can to disrupt Gemini sector production.
- We've had it pretty easy till now, but I think we're in for hard times.
Talk to Bartender
- BARTENDER
- You going to stick around for the big festival?
- Every year, if profits are good,
- The base governor throws a big party. Quite a spectacle.
- Fireworks, plenty of luxury food, the whole nine yards.
- If the Retros don't assassinate anyone, it ought to be a real good time.
