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?

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?

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 : 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.

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.
