Mission Briefing

Initial Offer

Talk to Masterson

MASTERSON
I don't have time to swap pleasantries, $NM.
We have a freighter making the jump to Saxtogue from Nav 1, Oxford System.
We're making a series of transports of library support machinery.
We believe they could be in some danger from Retro attacks.
Escort the freighter and make sure it jumps out safely...
...and return here for your payment...along with more work.
PLAYER
How long before they strike?  
MASTERSON
They could arrive at any moment. Please help, $NM.
Surely, 10,000 credits still interests you.
Accept Refuse
PLAYER
Okay, I'll save your equipment. But I'd better get a full letter of recommendation to your friend.  
MASTERSON
We'll see about that.
PLAYER
Shove off, pal. Consider this payback for all the crap you've given me.  
MASTERSON
Unless you take this mission, consider our agreement terminated.

Accepted

Talk to Masterson

MASTERSON
Of all the...what are you doing here?
Our freighters are being attacked even now!
Unless you hurry up, we won't get sufficient equipment for the reconstruction.
PLAYER
Well, I...  
MASTERSON
What are you standing there for?
Launch and escort our freighter to the jump point at Nav 1...
...or kiss your precious information good-bye.
Please decide. Are you going to do it or not?
Accept Refuse
MASTERSON
Try and get it right this time.
MASTERSON
Dealing with you can be very frustrating.

Rejected

MASTERSON
Look, $NM, We need a freighter escort. Our freighters are sitting ducks without protection.
The freighter is making the jump to Saxtogue at Nav 1, Oxford.
I told you, if you want 10,000 credits and an introduction to my friend, you need to defend it!
Will you help us, or not?
Accept Refuse
PLAYER
Okay, I'm going.  
MASTERSON
Stop stalling and save that freighter, damn it!
PLAYER
Touchy, touchy...
PLAYER
Forget it, Masterson. This mission looks like a suicide run.  
I need the information, but it's only useful to me if I'm around to enjoy it.

In-Flight

Takeoff

TRANSPORT
Welcome, volunteer! You will escort us to Nav 1. And don't abandon us before we jump out! I sure hope you're a good shot!

WC:CIC Game Guide

Description

Masterson still hasn't located his friend so while he does, you need to fly a fifth mission for him. Yet another cargo mission.

Objectives

Transport cargo of artwork to Perry Naval Base. Land, then return to Oxford.

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.
