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.

Privateer Playtester's Guide

ERNESTO SANDOVAL - MISSION A

Summary	Sandoval needs you to take iron to Liverpool (Newcastle system) and return to New Detroit for payment.
Payment	15,000 credits promised, but not delivered; alien artifact is given to you as collateral.
Requirements	Land at Liverpool (Newcastle) and return to New Detroit.
Opponents	None created by mission. Any hostile encounters are random.

• Since you won't be getting paid for anything on this mission, go ahead and enter the commodity exchange in New Detroit and fill up on goods such as construction equip-ment, software, weapons, or advanced fuels, so you can at least get some money from the trip. - "Deetchman"

WC:CIC Game Guide

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.

Mission : Sandoval's mission

Comments : Actually, once you leave the planet New Detroit, land again immediately. Tayla will then be in the bar. You don't have to go to Liverpool in Newcastle.

Mission : Sandoval

Comments : There's no need to even run the cargo--just launch and land again, Talya will be waiting for you.

Comments : I don't really know what I did wrong, but the pirates were not friendly to me... and going to a pirate base caused many problems with fighting (especially since I hadn't upgraded that much...)
