The escort I hired has abandoned it, taking the credits I foolishly paid them in advance. Please would anyone out there take over the escort and ensure the cargo makes it to the space station at Nav Point #142 {CALCRANGE}{142}{RANGE}where they can be repaired so that my little ones can walk again.

I know it's not entirely your fault, at least you tried. However the scum who deserted the cargo, taking my credits with them have been spotted by the CIS at Nav Point #154{CALCRANGE}{154}{RANGE}. If you go there and kill them (slowly) you can have the credits they took from me. // // // // MISSION # 000B // Offer {PAGE} Thanks Ser Arris, when little Timmy and his friends get their limbs back they will leap with joy.{CR} {CR} The CIS sighted the deserter escort ships near Nav Point #199 {CALCRANGE}{199}{RANGE}.

The trouble is that we could only find two pilots willing to fly escort. Jincilla pirates have been seen in the area, and since they are so fanatical about the protection of trees and forests we are afraid they are planning an ambush en route. We need you to meet the cargo ship near Karatikus (Nav Point #218){CALCRANGE}{218}{RANGE}, and escort it to Dexros (Nav Point #155). Kill any fanatics that get in your way. // // Diary {PAGE} Working For: The Tree Fellas.{CR} Meet a cargo ship near Karatikus at Nav Point #218 {CALCRANGE}{218}{RANGE}, and escort it to space station Dexros (Nav Point #155). // // Passed {PAGE} FROM: THE TREE-FELLAS {CR} TO: SER LEV ARRIS{CR} {CR} The lumber is safe, and so is my job.

This carrier has recently been in a battle with the Kindred, rescuing many innocent civilians who had been kidnapped from their homes, to be used in medical experimentation. However, they suffered many losses to the fighters escorting them and it's own weapons are crippled. Anyone who will go and take out these Jincilla scum, so we can bring the civilians home will be well rewarded. // // Diary {PAGE} Working For: CIS Headquarters, Security Div.{CR} Eliminate Jincilla craft attacking a CIS carrier at Nav Point #45 {CALCRANGE}{45}{RANGE}. // // Passed {PAGE} FROM: CIS HEADQUARTERS, SECURITY DIV. {CR} TO: SER LEV ARRIS{CR} {CR} You've done a great service, Ser Arris.

Your account has been deservedly credited. // // Failed {PAGE} FROM: CIS HEADQUARTERS, SECURITY DIV. {CR} TO: SER LEV ARRIS{CR} {CR} They were so close to making it back only to be snatched away from us again, but this time for good. Many good people died today, and many brave pilots who deserved more than to be let down by an incompetent fly-boy, who thinks he's God's gift.

It contains the fossilised remains of a creature that may have lived on Hades many millions of years ago. We have seen nothing of it's kind before, but we believe it may have been as intelligent as we are as the remains of some quite complex equipment was found with it. We are desperate to study these items and they must be protected. You will be paid well but you must hurry. // // Diary {PAGE} Working For: Hades Archaeological.{CR} Defend the cargo carrier at {TOKEN}{RAND_NAV1}{RANGE}. Jincilla pirates will be after it. // // Passed {PAGE} FROM: HADES ARCHAEOLOGICAL {CR} TO: SER LEV ARRIS{CR} {CR} We greatly appreciate your help, Ser Arris.

We will let you know of any results as you have been such a help to us. // // Failed {PAGE} FROM: HADES ARCHAEOLOGICAL {CR} TO: SER LEV ARRIS{CR} {CR} I can't believe we've lost our only evidence of this lifeform. It's enough to make you break down and cry. We will continue searching for more remains but I doubt if we will find another specimen like that.

The drug is extremely addictive, so it needs to be destroyed. {CR} {CR} It will be somewhere between Nav Point #1 and Nav Point #2.

Her last known position was Nav Point #149{CALCRANGE}{149}{RANGE}. There is a history of magnetic disturbances in the area, and she may have been crippled as a result of a powerful burst. The cargo holds are powered electronically, so expect her cargo to have been jettisoned and drifting. If it is, pick it up and drop it off in Tersa's local space. We will find it after that. When you find the ship, be sure to identify her so we may lock on to her position and begin recovery measures. Also, watch out for Jincilla pirates. // // Diary {PAGE} Working For: Cargo Couriers LTD.{CR} Locate and identify a lost cargo ship at Nav Point #149{CALCRANGE}{149}{RANGE}.

The Captain ejected his cargo before the ship exploded, however the pirates must have missed this as it is still floating in space. There may still be pirates in the area, so the reward will be higher than a simple recovery operation.
