|colspan="4"|It's hard to tell whether Loomis is very nervous or simply uncooperative by nature. He eventually gives you a bit of information, though — he tells you that the Cryo Pod you were found in was custom built and had no registration number or planet of origin. It was at least ten years old. He says it was confiscated. He claims that is all he knows about the matter.

|colspan="4"|Once you get Taffin to talk — either by paying him 10,000 credits, 20,000 credits or pulling a gun on him (violence won't work on return visits) — he'll tell you that he sold the pod to someone named Angus Santana, at Interplanetary Aid on the planet Anhur.

|colspan="4"|No matter what you do, the receptionist eventually helps you. She looks up the serial number of the Cryo Pod in her database.

!colspan="2"|Mission G - Jan Mitorr
|-
!style="width:200px"|[[File:32_S.png|200px|link=32_S]]
|'''[[32_S|Jan Mitorr]]''' (Jan Mitorr's House)<br>Ser Mitorr takes one look at you and acts like he's seen the living dead. It's obvious that he knows who you are, but he's uncooperative, to say the least. You finally decide to get tough with him, which unfortunately causes him to have a heart attack. With his last gasp, he tells you to go visit Kappa Labs in the Scatter Belt.

|-
!style="width:200px"|[[File:33_S.png|200px|link=33_S]]
|'''[[33_S|Kappa Labs]]'''<br>In this sequence, you explore the lab and basically find the place ransacked. Corpses are everywhere, and there was some kind of fire fight. It looks like someone took one of the Cryo Pods (and was rather determined to do so), but this is about all you can discover.

|-
!colspan="2"|Mission J - Who is Hassan?
|-
!style="width:200px"|[[File:34_S.png|200px|link=34_S]]
|'''[[34_S|David Hassan]]''' (CIS Offices)<br>This is a pivotal point in the plot, for Hassan tells you about the leading organized crime ring in the Tri-System — the Kindred. The Kindred and its leader, Kronos, are central to the main plot from this point on.<br>Hassan doesn't provide any clues to the mystery of who you are — he doesn't seem to know really, even though he knows a great deal about you. He points out, however, that since the Kindred seem inordinately interested in you, helping him to track down Kronos may help you figure out who you are. (Notice that every time he mentions Kronos, your character seems strangely affected — as if there were something about that word that he just can't quite remember ...) <br>Hassan tells that you the first step toward finding Kronos is to apprehend a man called Malakai, one of the top men in the organization. You accept the mission. Hassan has a Blindfire auto-tracking system and a RTS system installed on your ship (see Software Upgrades, p. 50), and points you toward the Blessed Aquawine company (located on Bex) and a man named Hugo Carmichael.

|-
!style="width:200px"|[[File:35_S.png|200px|link=35_S]]
|'''[[35_S|Hugo Carmichael]]''' (Hugo's Apartment)<br>Hugo is packing, and obviously in a hurry to get to Hephaestus. He drops a few tantalizing bits of information — like the fact that "Malakai" was a code name for Larn Regis (whoever that is), and that Larn died in the crash of the Canera on Crius. But he insists you play wingman for him on his trip to Hephaestus before he gives you more details. He'll meet you at the Galactic Gourmet Hotel once you reach the planet.

!colspan="2"|Mission N - Galactic Gourmet
|-
!style="width:200px"|[[File:36_S.png|200px|link=36_S]]
|'''[[36_S|Galactic Gourmet Concierge]]''' (Galactic Gourmet)<br>Actually, this isn't really much of a conversation — Hugo's dead, the guy that shot him takes a pop at you, and before you guys really get a chance to talk, you shoot him. You discover a capsule (a large chrome cylinder reminiscent of a coffee thermos) clenched in the assassin's fist, however, and decide that this must be important.

|-
!colspan="2"|Mission Q - Hassan the Hero
|-
!style="width:200px"|[[File:41_S.png|200px|link=41_S]]
|'''[[41_S|David Hassan]]''' (CIS Offices)<br>In the midst of telling you that the CIS has caught Rhinehart, Hassan gets a message confirming Rhinehart's transportation to Hades per his orders. However, Hassan gave no such orders, and he realizes this is a trap. You both scramble to save Rhinehart.

|-
!colspan="2"|Mission R - Rhinehart Redux
|-
!style="width:200px"|[[File:42_S.png|200px|link=42_S]]
|'''[[42_S|Rhinehart]]''' (Prison Pits)<br>Rhinehart tells all:
Your real name is Veil Ricaud II. You are one of the sons of Veil Ricaud, and heir to a company called Ricaud Interplanetary. You have a younger brother named Sar. While your father was alive, you developed the amyotrophic ossicular degeneration (AOD) virus and were placed in a crypod until a cure could be found. This broke your mother's heart, and she died.
Your brother, Sar, never forgave you for your mother's death. When your father died, your brother went completely off the deep end and transformed himself into Kronos and Ricaud Interplanetary into the Kindred. He has since become addicted to anti-aging drugs, which, when used to excess, actually accelerate the aging process and cause insanity.
Rhinehart also lets it slip that Kronos is on his way to kill Sheila Nabakov (who is Hassan's boss and the head of the CIS).

!colspan="2"|Mission T - Kronos
|-
!style="width:200px"|[[File:43_S.png|200px|link=43_S]]
|'''[[43_S|Kronos]]''' (Kronos)<br>Kronos is horribly disfigured. The sack of anti-aging drugs that he drags behind him seems to have backfired. Kronos is also certifiably insane — he's convinced he's the older brother, when in actuality you're older than he is. Turns out this whole thing was a case of overblown sibling rivalry, and Mother always loved you best.

Cutscenes

Main Plot

Introduction

Introduction
1 S.png Canera
The Canera is ambushed and crashes into Mendra City.
CREDIT S.png Credits
Opening credits.
2 S.png Crius Hospital
Lev Arris recovers at Crius Hospital but is pursued by two teams of assassins.
3 S.png Sinner's Inn
Lev Arris recovers at Crius Hospital but is pursued by two teams of assassins.
4 S.png Choice A
Sounds illegal... I don't like the sound of it 		5 S.png Choice B
Maybe I can get a bargain...
6 S.png Crius Hospital
Lev Arris flashes back to his recovery with Dr. Frevel.

Mission A - Dr. Loomis

Mission A - Dr. Loomis
7 S.png Dr. Loomis (Crius Hospital)
I'm sorry Ser Arris. But I don't think I'm in any position to help you.
8 S.png Choice A
I wonder if leaning on him a little would help ? 		9 S.png Choice B
Maybe I should back off a little...
It's hard to tell whether Loomis is very nervous or simply uncooperative by nature. He eventually gives you a bit of information, though — he tells you that the Cryo Pod you were found in was custom built and had no registration number or planet of origin. It was at least ten years old. He says it was confiscated. He claims that is all he knows about the matter.

Mission C - Hal Taffin

Mission C - Hal Taffin
13 S.png Hal Taffin (Taffin Reclamation)
Now if you'll excuse me, I have a wayward chip to discombobulate. Good day.
16 S.png Choice One A
Offer him an Incentive... 		18 S.png Choice One B
Put the Muscle on him...
19 S.png Choice Two A
I'm really gonna push this punk! 		20 S.png Choice Two B
That was dumb... give him a break
14 S.png Hal Taffin (Taffin Reclamation)
Choice One A, First Visit, No Credits
15 S.png Hal Taffin (Taffin Reclamation)
Choice One A, Return Visits, No Credits
17 S.png Hal Taffin (Taffin Reclamation)
Choice One A, Return Visits
21 S.png Hal Taffin (Taffin Reclamation)
Choice Two B, No Credits
22 S.png Hal Taffin (Taffin Reclamation)
Choice Two B, Return Visits, No Credits
23 S.png Hal Taffin (Taffin Reclamation)
Choice Two B, Return Visits
Once you get Taffin to talk — either by paying him 10,000 credits, 20,000 credits or pulling a gun on him (violence won't work on return visits) — he'll tell you that he sold the pod to someone named Angus Santana, at Interplanetary Aid on the planet Anhur.

Mission D - Angus Santana

Mission D - Angus Santana
24 S.png Angus Santana (Interplanetary Aid)
You must be with Taffin Reclamation?
25 S.png Choice A
Taffin ? Well, okay, why not let him think that. 		26 S.png Choice B
There's no point in lying to this guy...
Santana gives you the serial number for the Cryo Pod — D285/067N.

Mission F - Shernikov

Mission F - Shernikov
27 S.png Receptionist (Shernikov Medical Equipment)
I really can't give out that information.
28 S.png Choice One A
I'm going to have to lean on this babe 		31 S.png Choice One B
No point in getting pushy. Maybe I should wait around.
29 S.png Choice Two A
That was dumb - time to turn on the charm 		30 S.png Choice Two B
That was dumb, time to grovel!
No matter what you do, the receptionist eventually helps you. She looks up the serial number of the Cryo Pod in her database. When she finds the record, she transfers the name and address of the per- son who commissioned the Cryo Pod — Jan Mitorr on Janus IV — to your PAD's transit map.

Mission G - Jan Mitorr

Mission G - Jan Mitorr
32 S.png Jan Mitorr (Jan Mitorr's House)
Ser Mitorr takes one look at you and acts like he's seen the living dead. It's obvious that he knows who you are, but he's uncooperative, to say the least. You finally decide to get tough with him, which unfortunately causes him to have a heart attack. With his last gasp, he tells you to go visit Kappa Labs in the Scatter Belt.

Mission H - Kappa Labs

Mission H - Kappa Labs
33 S.png Kappa Labs
In this sequence, you explore the lab and basically find the place ransacked. Corpses are everywhere, and there was some kind of fire fight. It looks like someone took one of the Cryo Pods (and was rather determined to do so), but this is about all you can discover.

Mission J - Who is Hassan?

Mission J - Who is Hassan?
34 S.png David Hassan (CIS Offices)
This is a pivotal point in the plot, for Hassan tells you about the leading organized crime ring in the Tri-System — the Kindred. The Kindred and its leader, Kronos, are central to the main plot from this point on.
Hassan doesn't provide any clues to the mystery of who you are — he doesn't seem to know really, even though he knows a great deal about you. He points out, however, that since the Kindred seem inordinately interested in you, helping him to track down Kronos may help you figure out who you are. (Notice that every time he mentions Kronos, your character seems strangely affected — as if there were something about that word that he just can't quite remember ...)
Hassan tells that you the first step toward finding Kronos is to apprehend a man called Malakai, one of the top men in the organization. You accept the mission. Hassan has a Blindfire auto-tracking system and a RTS system installed on your ship (see Software Upgrades, p. 50), and points you toward the Blessed Aquawine company (located on Bex) and a man named Hugo Carmichael.

Mission L - Meet Hugo

Mission L - Meet Hugo
35 S.png Hugo Carmichael (Hugo's Apartment)
Hugo is packing, and obviously in a hurry to get to Hephaestus. He drops a few tantalizing bits of information — like the fact that "Malakai" was a code name for Larn Regis (whoever that is), and that Larn died in the crash of the Canera on Crius. But he insists you play wingman for him on his trip to Hephaestus before he gives you more details. He'll meet you at the Galactic Gourmet Hotel once you reach the planet.

Actually, this isn't really much of a conversation — Hugo's dead, the guy that shot him takes a pop at you, and before you guys really get a chance to talk, you shoot him. You discover a capsule (a large chrome cylinder reminiscent of a coffee thermos) clenched in the assassin's fist, however, and decide that this must be important.

Dimitri hands you the memory solid that was inside the capsule. As soon as he leaves, your PAD pops up (automatically):

PAD Message. Data Analysis: Codes and Coded Information ... Outer shell access codes contain references to all the planets in the Tri-System. The words Malakai and Rhinehart occur over 100 times each ... Also the names Larn Regis and Veil Ricaud occur over 150 times, as well as the name Ricaud Interplanetary.... Unable to give further information.

Mission Q - Hassan the Hero

41 S.png David Hassan (CIS Offices)
In the midst of telling you that the CIS has caught Rhinehart, Hassan gets a message confirming Rhinehart's transportation to Hades per his orders. However, Hassan gave no such orders, and he realizes this is a trap. You both scramble to save Rhinehart.

Mission R - Rhinehart Redux

Mission R - Rhinehart Redux
42 S.png Rhinehart (Prison Pits)
Rhinehart tells all:

Your real name is Veil Ricaud II. You are one of the sons of Veil Ricaud, and heir to a company called Ricaud Interplanetary. You have a younger brother named Sar. While your father was alive, you developed the amyotrophic ossicular degeneration (AOD) virus and were placed in a crypod until a cure could be found. This broke your mother's heart, and she died.

Your brother, Sar, never forgave you for your mother's death. When your father died, your brother went completely off the deep end and transformed himself into Kronos and Ricaud Interplanetary into the Kindred. He has since become addicted to anti-aging drugs, which, when used to excess, actually accelerate the aging process and cause insanity.

Rhinehart also lets it slip that Kronos is on his way to kill Sheila Nabakov (who is Hassan's boss and the head of the CIS).

Mission T - Kronos

Mission T - Kronos
43 S.png Kronos (Kronos)
Kronos is horribly disfigured. The sack of anti-aging drugs that he drags behind him seems to have backfired. Kronos is also certifiably insane — he's convinced he's the older brother, when in actuality you're older than he is. Turns out this whole thing was a case of overblown sibling rivalry, and Mother always loved you best.
