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!

Privateer Playtester's Guide

ROMAN LYNCH - MISSION A

Summary Roman Lynch, escorted by his bodyguard, Miggs, is interested in helping, but needs some work done. Tayla sent him a hologram of the artifact and he'll have someone study it if you'll mn a few missions. The first is a bounty mission where you have to send a message to Seelig, a pirate in Pentonville, instead of killing him. Don't be alarmed when he attacks you, though. The message upsets him and he wants to take it out on the messenger, you.
Payment 10,000 credits.
Requirements Deliver the message to Seelig at Nov 2 in Pentonville. It is not necessary to kill him to complete the mission. Return to New Constantinople.
Opponents Seelig (a fanatical pro) is the only mission-specific person you'll encounter. He is at Nay 2 in Pentonville. He will be friendly until the message is delivered, at which point he will try to kill you.
  • When you arrive at Pentonville's Nav 2, Seelig will be waiting for you in a Talon. It is a fast ship and has a lot of firepower, but Seelig is by himself, so you should be able to take him out easily. — "Deetchman"

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.

Riordian upon launching from Pentonville

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.
