Mission Briefing

Initial Offer

Talk to Lynn Murphy

MURPHY
I heard you waxed the patrol. Not too bad, Ace.
PLAYER
That's the closest thing to a complement you've ever given me.
Getting sentimental in your golden years, Murphy?  
MURPHY
If I came on to you in my golden years it wouldn't be sentiment...
...it'd be senility. Now listen up.
Our attacks on Bronte's reinforcements have finally weakened the blockade.
They're running low on fuel, food, patience, you name it.
It's time to make the big push and break the blockade.
If you'll throw in, I can provide a force of two militia Talons for your wing.
We'll pay you 15,000 credits when you return here.
You in?
Accept Refuse
PLAYER
I can't speak for everyone, but...I like kicking a guy when he's down.  
MURPHY
Then you'll start right away, before more reinforcements jump in-system.
This'll be a tough one.
The blockade is holding at Nav 4 of Palan system in orbit around Palan.
If you make it through, pick up your friend and return here for your pay.
PLAYER
You worried about my pay...or that I might leave without saying goodbye?  
MURPHY
Believe me, if you had left without saying hello I'd be delighted.
PLAYER
You're one tough broad, Murphy.  
MURPHY
Why $NM...that's the nicest thing you've ever said to ME.
PLAYER
This is a really bad idea, Murphy. Bronte's net isn't as frayed as it seems.
This is a suicide run. I want out.  
MURPHY
This is the best chance we'll get...we can't hold off the reinforcements forever...
...but do whatever you want. No skin off my nose.

Accepted

Talk to Lynn Murphy

MURPHY
I don't know what your angle is, mister...
...but if we don't punch through that blockade now, we never will.
PLAYER
Yeah...I have been kind of dragging my heels.  
MURPHY
You should be dragged BY your heels, $CS.
Look, if you want to pick up this friend of yours, now is the time.
The blockade ships orbiting Palan at Nav 4 won't be getting any weaker.
We've got to hit them now, before more reinforcements arrive.
Two militia Talons are standing by to accompany you on the assault.
Don't come back here until the mission is finished and you want your pay.
I've wasted too much time with you as it is.

Rejected

Talk to Lynn Murphy

MURPHY
What's your problem, $CS? You're about as decisive as a politico.
PLAYER
Just trying to check out all my options, Murphy.  
MURPHY
Hey, you want to get down to Palan and hook up with your friend...
...you have no option but to fly this mission.
We're going to try and break the blockade with you or without you...
...but this is your best chance to get to Palan...and make 15,000 credits to boot.
So...are you going to hook up with the two Talons we managed to dig up...
...head for Nav 4 and kick some butt...
...or kiss your friend, and your fee, good-bye?
Accept Refuse
PLAYER
I can't speak for everyone, but...I like kicking a guy when he's down.  
MURPHY
Then you'll start right away, before more reinforcements jump in-system.
If you make it through, pick up your friend and return here for your pay.
PLAYER
You worried about my pay...or that I might leave without saying goodbye?  
MURPHY
Believe me, if you had left without saying hello I'd be delighted.
PLAYER
You're one tough broad, Murphy.  
MURPHY
Why $NM...that's the nicest thing you've ever said to ME.
PLAYER
Actually I just came to kiss YOU goodbye, Murphy.
I'm gonna make this run on my own.  
MURPHY
Oh, $NM, you are a dreamer.
You'll never make it to Palan on your own.
Now beat it, before I have to throw you out'a here myself.

Completed Before Monkhouse - Mission A

Talk to Lynn Murphy

PLAYER
Just like I promised, I've come back for my pay...
...and anything else you'd like to give me.  
MURPHY
I never considered a swift kick in the butt an incentive, but have it your way.
PLAYER
Cute. Give me my money before I get all mushy on you.  
MURPHY
Here it is. Did you find your friend?
PLAYER
Not yet. I'll pick him up on the next run.  
MURPHY
There won't be a next run, ace. Not flying for us, anyway.
The blockade's broken, and hard as it may be for you to believe...
...we don't need you anymore.
PLAYER
Well, thanks for breaking it to me gently, sweetheart. You're an angel.  
MURPHY
News is news. What do you want, tears?
Fact is, the job's done. If you want your friend, go to Palan and pick him up.
No skin off my nose, either way...

PLAYER
Uh-huh. He's waiting at the next table.  
MURPHY
Then goodbye, $NM. And take care of yourself.

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 Your work has weakened the blockade. Murphy will provide wingmen to assist you. Once you land at Palan, you can pick up Monkhouse in the bar.
Payment 15,000 credits.
Requirements You and your wingmen must destroy all hostiles.
Opponents You and two friendly militia Talons encounter a wave of three Demons (confident aces). The next wave comprises two more Demons (confident aces), and then them is a final wave of two Demons (fanatical aces).
  • During this mission you can attack all of the fighters in the blockade by using the afterburner technique, but the easiest way is to just land at the planet and pick up the next mission from Dr. Monkhouse. — "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.
