Talk to Lynn Murphy

MURPHY
You here to sign up?
PLAYER
Sign up for what, Miss...?  
MURPHY
'Miss' nothing. The name's Lynn Murphy. I go by Murphy.
PLAYER
Fine, Murphy. Look, all I want is to get down to Palan.
I'm looking for...an old friend, and I can't get through.  
MURPHY
Join the club. You get to cool your heels with the rest of us on Basra awhile.
Bronte Corporation has thrown up a blockade around Palan.
Tough luck...but you could turn a nice profit, if you're smart.
There's two corporations in the Palan System, Rondell and Bronte.
Bronte is responsible for the blockade. They want to block Rondell food exports...
...while kicking up their own to fill the void, stealing Rondell's market share.
I'm organizing the resistance for Rondell from this base. Hired resistance.
PLAYER
My reasons for wanting to get down to Palan are personal.  
MURPHY
Sure, but you'll never break the blockade alone. Smarten up...what's your name?
PLAYER
I am $NM, also known as $CS.  
MURPHY
$CS it is. Why not sign on? The money's good.
This next mission, an intercept operation, pays 15,000 credits. Interested?
Accept Refuse
PLAYER
Hey, if I'm gonna bang up against that blockade, might as well get paid for it.  
MURPHY
Good, I got a mission right now. We've traced several jumps in-system.
They're merc ships, coming to reinforce the Bronte blockade.
I want you to intercept them at Nav 1 of the Palan system...
...and prevent them from joining the main group...by any means necessary.
MURPHY
Funny, you don't look like the type to use euphemisms.  
MURPHY
Just trying to spare you, ace. You look like the squeamish type to me.
MURPHY
Yeah? Guess you've never seen a real man up close. I could arrange it, if you like.  
MURPHY
Sure. If one comes by, let me know.
Just stop those reinforcements, and meet me back here afterwards...
...without the cheap come-ons, got it?
MURPHY
Murphy...you're all heart.
PLAYER
I'm not looking to get involved in any corporate war.
I'll take my chances with the blockade alone.  
MURPHY
Your loss, ace, I got no time to argue with you. It's your funeral.

Accepted

Talk to Lynn Murphy

MURPHY
Didn't I give you a mission to fly, Mister?
PLAYER
Yeah, but I had business to tend to...
MURPHY
Stow it. This is important! If you want this blockade broken...
...and want to get paid, you better listen up!
Merc ships have jumped in-system to reinforce the Bronte blockade of Palan.
Unless you intercept them at Nav 1 of the Palan system...
...and prevent them from joining the main group, this blockade won't end any time soon.
PLAYER
Okay, okay...I'm on my way.

Rejected

Talk to Lynn Murphy

MURPHY
Back again? If you're here to bust my chops some more...
PLAYER
Chill, Murphy. I'm thinking of signing on after all.  
MURPHY
Yeah? Well, God knows we could use an extra hand.
Bronte has hired mercs to reinforce their blockade of Palan.
The merc ships have jumped in-system, and are set to rendevous with Bronte forces.
We'll pay you 15,000 credits to intercept them at Nav 1 of the Palan system...
...and prevent them from joining the main group...preferably by blowing them to hell.
Afterwards, return here for your pay...and another assignment.
For the last time, are you interested or not?
Accept Refuse
PLAYER
Hey, if I'm gonna bang up against that blockade, might as well get paid for it.  
MURPHY
Prevent those mercs from joining the main group...by any means necessary.
PLAYER
Funny, you don't look like the type to use euphemisms.  
MURPHY
Just trying to spare you, ace. You look like the squeamish type to me.
PLAYER
Yeah? Guess you've never seen a real man up close. I could arrange it, if you like.  
MURPHY
Sure. If one comes by, let me know.
Just stop those reinforcements, and meet me back here afterwards...
...without the cheap come-ons, got it?
PLAYER
Murphy...you're all heart.
PLAYER
I guess I'll still take my chances with the blockade alone.  
MURPHY
If you don't want my missions, then leave me alone, got it?

Failure

Talk to Lynn Murphy

PLAYER
What's the matter, Murphy? You look more sour than usual.  
MURPHY
You want it straight? Well here it is.
I don't think much of your flying. You're sloppy.
You fail to realize mission objectives. We can't afford to waste time with you.
You're washed up here. Collect your things and pull out.
PLAYER
But we have the same goal. I have to get down to Palan.  
MURPHY
Then you'll have to do it alone. Good-bye.

LYNN MURPHY - MISSION A

Summary Due to the blockade of Palan, you find yourself fleeing to its sister base, Basra. From the bar on Basra, Lynn Murphy organizes the resistance to the blockade. The resistance is your best chance of getting through to Palan. They'll employ you to help break the blockade. Your first mission for them is to prevent reinforcements from reaching the blockade.
Payment 15,000 credits.
Requirements Kill all ten Demons moving in to reinforce the blockade.
Opponents At Palan's Nav 1, you'll find four hostile Demons (confident aces) followed by a wave of three more and then a final wave of three more.
  • You will fight several fighters at once in this scenario. Just keep on the afterburn-ers and change direction constantly to keep their aim off Try to take out their shields with a set of missiles then finish the ship off with your guns. — "Havoc"

Description

Masterson has figured out why you want access to Oxford Library, but while you are flying missions for him, he isn't bothered. And now you have another mission.

Objectives

Find the ship Vulcan's Forge at Nav 3, protect it from attack, and escort it back to Oxford.

Scripted Encounters

Bounty Hunters at Nav 3

Notes

  • The "private collectors" Masterson mentioned are attacking the Vulcan's Forge at Nav 3. There are around 6 of them, all in Demons. Even two missiles won't take out a Demon, so you'll need to weaken the shields first.

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.
