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 Tayla

TAYLA

Hey, I just spoke with my contact on Oakham.

They told me you still haven't delivered the cargo!

PLAYER

Something came up, sweetheart. You know how it is.  

TAYLA

Sure do. Unless you transport that load of plastic to Oakham...

...deviating from your flight path to Newcastle to throw off pursuit...

...you can forget about the 10,000 credits!

PLAYER

Okay, okay, no need to panic. I'll get to it.  

And why should I worry about being followed if my cargo's legit?

TAYLA

Consider it a competency test.

You know the rest...?

PLAYER

Yeah. Once I arrive, I should leave my ship unattended, right?

TAYLA

If you want to make a profit, yeah.

And don't go shooting up any pirates there!

You work for me, so they'll leave you alone...unless you get trigger happy.

Meet me in the bar at Oakham when you're done. And step on it!

Rejected

Talk to Tayla

TAYLA

Back, huh? I figured you'd change your mind.

PLAYER

That remains to be seen.

TAYLA

Look, it's a great deal.

Your cargo will consist of nothing but plastics...completely legal.

Supposedly you'll be running it to Newcastle, but actually...

...you'll divert to Oakham, a hidden pirate base, and dock.

You won't have any trouble with the pirates because you work for me.

Once there, leave your ship unattended and meet me in the bar there at Oakham for your pay.

In exchange for the service, I'll pay you 10,000 credits. And don't forget...

...I have information on the artifact, info I'll share...if you fly for me.

So...is it a deal?

Accept	Refuse
PLAYER Sure, why not? I could use the credits.	TAYLA If you don't want the job, just leave me alone!

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.

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.
