Talk to Tayla

TAYLA
You took your sweet time, Captain.
PLAYER
Better late than never. Now I want my money...and info on the artifact.  
TAYLA
I won't say anything that will tip my hand prematurely...
...but I can tell you that Sandoval got it by killing its previous owner.
Before that a spice merchant named Deiter...obtained it from his own father.
Death follows this thing, $NM. Feel lucky?
PLAYER
Just give me my next mission, and let me worry about my health.  
TAYLA
I'll pay you 20,000 credits to make another delivery of Brilliance.
I'm putting you on my main supply route to New Constantinople.
PLAYER
A promotion, huh? And what'll I be up against?  
TAYLA
Some Confed patrols, but I've paid some major bribes to make sure you're left alone.
PLAYER
Major bribes, huh? Great. I smell a major risk here.  
TAYLA
You're taking a bigger risk keeping that artifact with so many willing to kill for it.
PLAYER
I'm taking a risk trusting you in the first place.  
TAYLA
I've always paid you on time, so quit whining.
Are you going to fly my mission...or not?
Accept Refuse
PLAYER
I made an agreement with you and I'll honor it.  
TAYLA
Good. You'll transfer the cargo from here to New Constantinople.
Once you arrive, leave your ship unattended for an hour...
PLAYER

.: ..then get the hell out. I know the drill, Tayla.

TAYLA
A hotshot pilot with brains. Wonders never cease.
Hurry back. I'll be waiting right here with your pay.
PLAYER
Wealth sounds great, but I tell you what, sweetheart...  
...I'm going to find it on my own. Later.
TAYLA
Stay alive without my help, $CS...if you can.

Accepted

Talk to Tayla

TAYLA
Please, tell me you've completed the delivery to New Constantinople.
PLAYER
Not yet. What's the hurry?
TAYLA
Time is money, $NM. How much is how soon, get it?
PLAYER
Got it. I'll be heading in there soon.
Whether or not I get out depends on how substantial your bribes were.
That's one heavily patrolled sector!
TAYLA
I told you, Insys has been taken care of.
Just run the Brilliance from here to New Constantinople...
...dock there, leave your ship, take a stroll...
...and then meet me here in Oakham for your 20,000.
PLAYER
And more information on the artifact, Tayla.
I'll uphold my end of the bargain. Make sure you do the same.

Rejected

Talk to Tayla

TAYLA
Hey, I really hope you've changed your mind about flying this mission.
I need someone good to fly some Brilliance to New Constantinople...
...taking over my standard supply run from someone who...didn't work out.
I'd pay you 20,000 credits to make the run, dock and leave the ship unattended...
PLAYER
...and meet you back here for my pay...along with some information, right?  
TAYLA
Yeah. I've spread a few bribes around Insys to pave your way...
...though if you hit some Confed patrols, watch out. So how about it?
Accept Refuse
PLAYER
Sure.
TAYLA
If you don't want the job, just leave me alone!

Privateer Playtester's Guide

TAYLA - MISSION C

Summary You'll need to make an illegal run of Brilliance to Hector mining base (Troy).
Payment 15,000 credits.
Requirements Deliver cargo to Hector without getting destroyed by the militia, then return to Oakham for Tayla's next mission.
Opponents 3 hostile militia Talons at Nav 3 and Nav 4 in Troy. Note that all pirates in Pentonville are friendly as long as you work for Tayla.
  • This mission can be a little tricky and you'll probably have to load the game back up a few times. The best way to do this mission is make sure aall you do is afterburner through the jump points as quickly as possible. There will be militia and Confederation ships all around trying to destroy you. You'll get a secret compartment in a couple of missions, so don't even try to fight these guys. - "Deetchman"

WC:CIC Game Guide

Description

After all that, Tayla tells you precious little about the artifact. And you have to fly another mission for her. At least you have the promised 10,000 credits. But now you have a much more risky mission to fly...

Objectives

Carry cargo of Brilliance to Hector mining base, land, then return to Oakham.

Scripted Encounters

Militia as soon as you enter Troy.

Notes

  • The pirates near Pentonville still aren't attacking you, but further out they might and the Militia will if they scan you and detect the Brilliance. Only attack the Militia if you must though.
  • You may find that once you deliver your cargo, the pirates attack you.

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.

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.
