Transcript

LEV ARRIS: Vonx?

LORD MIKE VONX: That is I.

LEV ARRIS: It's, uhm, it's Lord Vonx, isn't it? I, I, I've seen you on the holo.

LORD MIKE VONX: I don't stand on ceremony at home, or many other places. Sit down, man.

LEV ARRIS: So, how can I help you?

LORD MIKE VONX: I have word of an arms shipment which will be making its way from Hephaestus to Anhur. It must be destroyed.

LEV ARRIS: Why?

LORD MIKE VONX: Because the arms being trans-shipped are intended for the civil war on Karaktikus. If they reach that planet, thousands of people will die who need not do so. That strikes me as reason enough. You and your ship come well spoken of. Will you take the comission? The price is 8,000, paid to you on confirmation of the destruction of that shipment. Gun camera shots will be sufficient.

LEV ARRIS: 8,000 is a lot for one ship.

LORD MIKE VONX: It's not a lot for saving 8,000 lives or so. Which it will.

(Player receives the following e-mail from Lord Mike Vonx: SC.343 ARRIS (COMPUTER GENERATED: NO VIDEO) NEED TO TALK TO YOU RE: BUSINESS ARRANGEMENT SOONEST PLEASE COME TO 48639 ARMATURE, IRNGATE, AMUR 339454 VONK) When the player goes there: SC.344 INT. VONX'S APARTMENT A handsome place, well-appointed, the home of a (futuristic) patrician. Tastefully decorated, spacious. SC.345 ON THE DOOR As LORD MIKE VONX answers the chime: a balding, good- looking, cheerful man. Arris is standing there at the door. ARRIS Uh, 'Vonx'? VONX That's I. Come in, ser. SC.346 THE TWO OF THEM Arris looks around him, impressed: then at his host again. ARRIS It's Lord Vonx, isn't it? I've seen you on the holo. VONX I don't stand on ceremony at home. Or many other places. Sit down, man. SC.347 WIDER They sit. Vonx leans forward: very no-nonsense, no time wasted. ARRIS How can I help you? VONX I have word of an arms shipment which will be making its way from Hephaestus to Anhur. It must be destroyed. ARRIS Why? VONX Because the arms being trans- shipped are intended for the civil war on Caractacus. If they reach that planet, thousands more people will die who need not do so. That strikes me as reason enough. (beat) You and your ship come well spoken of. Will you take the VONX(CONT...) commission? The price is eight thousand, paid to you on confirmation of the destruction of that shipment. Gun-camera shots will do well enough. ARRIS Eight thousand is a lot for blowing one ship. VONX It's not a lot for saving eight thousand lives or so. Which it will. CHOICE 1:      ARRIS       CHOICE 2:      ARRIS Well, why-not? Money's money. Naaah...I don't like this political stuff.
