Talk to Lynn Murphy
- MURPHY
- You here to sign up?
- PLAYER
- Sign up for what, Miss...?
- MURPHY
- 'Miss' nothing. The name's Lynn Murphy. I go by Murphy.
- PLAYER
- Fine, Murphy. Look, all I want is to get down to Palan.
- I'm looking for...an old friend, and I can't get through.
- MURPHY
- Join the club. You get to cool your heels with the rest of us on Basra awhile.
- 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.
- Bronte is responsible for the blockade. They want to block Rondell food exports...
- ...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.
- PLAYER
- My reasons for wanting to get down to Palan are personal.
- MURPHY
- Sure, but you'll never break the blockade alone. Smarten up...what's your name?
- PLAYER
- I am $NM, also known as $CS.
- MURPHY
- $CS it is. Why not sign on? The money's good.
- This next mission, an intercept operation, pays 15,000 credits. Interested?

- MURPHY
- Didn't I give you a mission to fly, Mister?
- PLAYER
- Yeah, but I had business to tend to...
- MURPHY
- Stow it. This is important! If you want this blockade broken...
- ...and want to get paid, you better listen up!
- Merc ships have jumped in-system to reinforce the Bronte blockade of Palan.
- Unless you intercept them at Nav 1 of the Palan system...
- ...and prevent them from joining the main group, this blockade won't end any time soon.
- PLAYER
- Okay, okay...I'm on my way.
Rejected
Talk to Lynn Murphy
- MURPHY
- Back again? If you're here to bust my chops some more...
- PLAYER
- Chill, Murphy. I'm thinking of signing on after all.
- MURPHY
- Yeah? Well, God knows we could use an extra hand.
- Bronte has hired mercs to reinforce their blockade of Palan.
- The merc ships have jumped in-system, and are set to rendevous with Bronte forces.
- We'll pay you 15,000 credits to intercept them at Nav 1 of the Palan system...
- ...and prevent them from joining the main group...preferably by blowing them to hell.
- Afterwards, return here for your pay...and another assignment.
- For the last time, are you interested or not?

Failure
Talk to Lynn Murphy
- PLAYER
- What's the matter, Murphy? You look more sour than usual.
- MURPHY
- You want it straight? Well here it is.
- I don't think much of your flying. You're sloppy.
- You fail to realize mission objectives. We can't afford to waste time with you.
- You're washed up here. Collect your things and pull out.
- PLAYER
- But we have the same goal. I have to get down to Palan.
- MURPHY
- Then you'll have to do it alone. Good-bye.

E. MASTERSON - MISSION D
| Summary | Once again Masterson offers you an escort mission. He needs a Drayman filled with supplies to make its delivery unimpeded. This is your final mission before gaining access to the research facilities. |
| Payment | 10,000 plus access to the Library. |
| Requirements | Protect the Drayman and ensure its safe arrival at Oxford. |
| Opponents | The Drayman will be waiting at Nay I, where it will be attacked by five pirate Talons (fanatical pros). |
- Well, now you're in some trouble. It seems that you get to escort another Drayman back to Oxford, but this time, it is being attacked by five Talons. You'll have to move fast and attack quickly, as usual. If you have missile launchers, start blast-ing away as soon as you get a lock The faster you destroy the Talons, the quicker you get back and gain access to the Library. - "Deetchman"
Using The Library. The Library will be accessible to you after you have completed Masterson's fourth assignment. Click on the Library to enter. Once inside, click on the cubicles, where there is a scanning research tool you can use on the artifact. Click on the scanner to activate it. After it has had a chance to gather information, you will receive a report on Dr. Lemuel Monkhouse, whose reputation is based on the discovery of Stack artifacts on Mars and other worlds. He is a major figure in the debate on the nature of this long-vanished civilization. It is rumored he possesses unconfiscated arti-facts and is currently working on Palan despite the blockade. As he is often sought after for advice on artifacts, you should seek Dr. Monkhouse on Palan.

Description
Masterson has figured out why you want access to Oxford Library, but while you are flying missions for him, he isn't bothered. And now you have another mission.
Objectives
Find the ship Vulcan's Forge at Nav 3, protect it from attack, and escort it back to Oxford.
Scripted Encounters
Bounty Hunters at Nav 3
Notes
- 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.

Comments : You don't have to kill all the other pirates, you only need to shoot down Rhombus (in the Galaxy). And the cargo? What the h... do you need that for? It's almost no money.

Comments : "What do you need the cargo for?" Hey, a guy's gotta eat. And do you know how much my leather flight jackets go for? Plus that, it's obvious you don't party like I party...booze, broads and trips to Earth don't grow on trees. On top of that, I like collecting pilot slaves. Grab the loot when you can, and leave your kids something to talk about when you kick off.
