Mission Briefing
Initial Offer
Library
- PLAYER
- Okay, Masterson. Those pirates won't be hassling you again.
- MASTERSON
- That will be a welcome change. How did you manage...?
- PLAYER
- Right now I'm more interested in getting into your stacks...nothing personal.
- MASTERSON
- Perhaps if you told me what you're looking for I could find it for you.
- The fee for research is much lower than that required for private access.
- PLAYER
- I don't think so. This is private business.
- MASTERSON
- Might there be a large sum of money involved?
- PLAYER
- Might you be looking for disability payments?
- MASTERSON
- Really, $NM, you needn't be threatened that I've discovered your intent.
- People are always coming here to research one treasure or another.
- But enough of this. We have a shipment of rare and valuable books en route here.
- The ship bringing them in needs an escort.
- We'll pay you the usual 10,000 credits upon your return...

- MASTERSON
- So...where are my books?
- PLAYER
- Sorry Masterson...I haven't been in the neighborhood of Nav 3, Oxford lately.
- MASTERSON
- Unbelievable! \""Vulcan's Forge\"" has a cargohold full of priceless books...
- ...she's a sitting duck waiting for you to escort her here, and you're wasting time!
- If you want library access, you'd better do your job and return here with good news...
- ...unless you're no longer interested in that 10,000.
- PLAYER
- Point taken. I'll get to Nav 3 ASAP...
- ...and I promise you, none of those book collectors will get to her.
- MASTERSON
- They'd better not! Any one of those books is worth more than you make in a year!
- PLAYER
- Give me the library clearance I need, and we'll SEE about THAT...
Rejected
Library
- MASTERSON
- I hope you've changed your mind. I'm against the wall, so to speak.
- I need someone to escort Vulcan's Forge to Oxford.
- She's carrying a load of rare books here...books many collectors would kill to have.
- Vulcan's Forge is awaiting her escort at Nav 3, Oxford system.
- Rendezvous with her and bring her back here.
- After your successful return, meet me here for your usual payment of 10,000 credits.
- This mission will count as your third installment toward your endowment to Oxford...
- ...which will get you access to our files...sooner or later.
- PLAYER
- Better make that sooner, Masterson.
- MASTERSON
- That depends on you, $NM. Are you in?

Failure
Library
- PLAYER
- So what's next? Evicting bookworms? Repossessing delinquent library cards?
- MASTERSON
- How about retirement?
- PLAYER
- What do you mean?
- MASTERSON
- Our deal is null and void. You failed a task I gave you.
- That's not the way to earn access to the Oxford Library, sir.
- PLAYER
- Look, I need that access. Just give me another chance.
- MASTERSON
- Impossible, I'm afraid. Now kindly leave...or I'll have security assist you out.

E. MASTERSON - MISSION B
| Summary | The second mission towards paying off your indenture is to destroy some data pirates who are stealing information from Oxford.
10,000 credits and partial completion of your indenture. |
| Payment | 10,000 credits and partial completion of your indenture. |
| Requirements | Destroy the Black Rhombus, the pirates' Galaxy-class ship. |
| Opponents | The Black Rhombus (a Galaxy piloted by a fanatical pro) and three hostile pirate Talons (fanatical pros), followed by a second wave of four pirate Talons (fanatical pros), all at Nay 1; there will be two unrelated hostile pirates at Nay 3 and three friendly Gladii at Nav 2. |
- This mission is filled with enemies. Destroy the Black Rhombus quickly. If you are low on fire power, then return home after destroying it. If you feel like you want to mess with death, then take a chance and fight the other three pirates and the rest of the pirates at the other nav points. — "Deetchman"
WC:CIC Game Guide
Description
Masterson is being troubled by pirate hackers. They are operating somewhere inside Oxford, but no one knows where exactly.
Objectives
Patrol Oxford system looking for the Black Rhombus. When you find it, destroy it, then return to Oxford.
Scripted Encounters
Black Rhombus somewhere in Oxford
Notes
- The Black Rhombus is defended by up to 7 Talons. The Rhombus itself is a Galaxy class ship.
- You'll also probably face pirate forces at the other Nav points before reaching the Rhombus, so I hope you stocked up on missiles.

Mission :
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.

Mission : Masterson
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.

Comments : Destory all the talons first, and terminate Black Rhombus in the galaxy finally. After finishing him, you can collect the cargo ejected from his ship by the tractor beam.
