Initial Offer
Talk to Lynn Murphy
- PLAYER
- Scratch one set of reinforcements, Lynn.
- MURPHY
- Make it Murphy, $CS. Only my close friends call me Lynn.
- PLAYER
- And how do I go about getting close to you?
- MURPHY
- I'm a sucker for love letters...posted from Kilrah.
- PLAYER
- Jeez, you must have a lot of company.
- MURPHY
- No. And I like it that way. Now listen up...
- We've received a tip that a large scout patrol is approaching our base.
- They're probably just looking for the first reinforcement wing...
- ...but if they come across this base, they'll destroy it.
- We're not equipped to deal with an assault.
- So we'll pay you 10,000 credits to eliminate this patrol.
- How about it?

Accepted
Talk to Lynn Murphy
- MURPHY
- Well, you may talk a good game, $CS...
- ...but I can't say I'm impressed with your performance so far.
- PLAYER
- Performance? We haven't even gotten to the good night kiss yet.
- MURPHY
- If you spent as much time flying as you do making lousy jokes...
- ...you'd have flown the mission by now. What's the hold-up? Scared?
- Or are you enjoying the rec facilities here on scenic Basra too much to be bothered?
- PLAYER
- No problem. I just got tied up.
- MURPHY
- Look, either head for Nav 1 and intercept that patrol headed for our base...
- ...or blow off the 10,000 credits and quit wasting my time.
Rejected
Talk to Lynn Murphy
- MURPHY
- You want me to beg you to take the damn mission? Forget it!
- A large scout patrol may be headed toward our base...
- ...but I'll never be desperate enough to plead with someone like you.
- PLAYER
- C'mon, Murphy. Can't a guy have second thoughts?
- I've got to get down to Palan.
- Seems like if you get blown to atoms, it doesn't improve my chances.
- MURPHY
- Logic from a spacer? That's a first...but you're right.
- This base won't survive an assault...and we could use your help.
- We'll pay you 10,000 credits to intercept that patrol.
- That's my final offer.

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.
Privateer Playtester's Guide
LYNN MURPHY - MISSION B
| Summary | The next mission is to destroy the enemy patrol looking for the reinforcements you just destroyed. |
| Payment | 10,000 credits. |
| Requirements | Destroy all seven hostiles. |
| Opponents | Three hostile Demons (confident aces), then another wave of four hostile Centurions (fanatical aces) at Nav I of Palan. |
- You will want to take out the Demons in the first wave by using only your guns. Save your missiles for the Centurions. Hit them quickly with guns and missiles. Use the same technique as in Mission A by staying on the afterburners and choos-ing shots carefully. — "Havoc"
WC:CIC Game Guide
Description
A batch of fighters from the Palan blockade have moved away to search for the "missing" reinforcements. It's your job to make them go missing too.
Objectives
Find patrol wing at Nav 1 and destroy it. Then return to Basra.
Scripted Encounters
Bounty hunters at Nav 1
Notes
- Upon reaching Nav one you are greeted by an initial wave of 3 Demons. These are soon backed up by 4 Centurions. These ships are fast, maneuverable and strong while carrying four guns up front and an additional two on a rear turret. A bombardment of missiles is the best way to go, but stay on one ship until it is destroyed. The last thing you want is for the enemy's shields to regenerate.
