: What took you so long, $CS? Rough day at the office?

: Nothing, except the police have it plastered all over the holos.
: Relax, $CS. The first installment is right here.
: Sandoval is dead, and they want you for questioning.
: Tough break, $CS, but I'm here to offer you work now that you're...between jobs.
: I need you to make four special deliveries for me.

: '''PLAYER'''
: By special you mean risky and illegal.  
: That's better. Now tell me about the artifact.
: Why would Sandoval just hand it over if it's so valuable?


: '''TAYLA'''
: '''TAYLA'''
: And lucrative.  The first run pays 10,000 credits.
: Maybe he got a sore neck from watching his back all the time.

: '''PLAYER'''
: That's lucrative?  Thanks, but I got my own leads to follow up.
: No...but I don't intend to let you get behind me, Tayla.  


: '''TAYLA'''
: '''TAYLA'''
: Right, the artifact.  You have it, but you don't know anything about it.  
: Wrong, ace.  I've never whacked anyone for profit.
: I could fill you in...after you fly my missions. How about it, Captain?
: Now, your next job is to run a load of Brilliance to Hector mining base in Troy.
: The run pays 15,000 credits...too much for such an easy job, if you ask me.

Sandoval is dead, so no 20,000 credit fee. Tayla offers you a mission, and since you have nothing better to do, accept it. More importantly, Tayla offers to give you information on the alien artifact that you are now stuck with. Don't forget to repair and restock missiles before taking off. There is no shipyard where you are heading.
After all that, Tayla tells you precious little about the artifact. And you have to fly another mission for her. At least you have the promised 10,000 credits. But now you have a much more risky mission to fly...

Mission : Tayla

Comments : on all of tayla's missions just afterburn past the patrols with a centurion, if you don't own a centurion i suggest that you take a break from the plot missions and earn enough to buy one.

Mission : orion

Comments : you can easily afterburn past the patrols (or almost any enemy) with an orion too.

Mission : Tayla

Comments : Got to 3rd base with Tayla. She's not nearly as sarcastic after she sees your ship and 'equipment.' Oh, that may be info she wouldn't like me tossing around. Forget I mentioned it.
