Mission Briefing

Initial Offer

Talk to Taryn Cross

CROSS
Did you complete the run, $CS?
PLAYER
Yeah...no thanks to the Kilrathi.
CROSS
Kilrathi? What were THEY doing there?
PLAYER
They were flying an inverted V, the usual formation for a broad sector sweep.
CROSS
But what could they be searching for, out here in the middle of nowhere?
PLAYER
You tell me. Why is the Confed interested in mapping this sector, anyway?
CROSS
I don't know. The top brass makes those decisions, I only implement them.
If you're suggesting there's some kind of hidden agenda here...
PLAYER
All I'm saying is, if the Confed is out here looking for something...  
...it makes sense that the Kilrathi would share their interest.  
Anyway, they're the ones who've been trashing your ships all along.
CROSS
Makes sense...I guess.
Up for another mapping run? It pays the usual 10,000 credits...
Accept Refuse
CROSS
This time you'll map a newly-discovered system, designated Delta Prime...
...for it's transpacial proximity to Delta System.
PLAYER
Transpacial, eh? So I'll be doing a little jumping to get there.
CROSS
Right. You'll need to fly through Gamma to the jump point there...
...jump to Delta Prime and hit the nav point we've programmed into your computer.
Afterwards, report back here for your pay.
If it goes well, this will be your last run in this sector.
Good luck.
PLAYER
If I'd wanted to tangle with Kilrathi, I'd have enlisted. Forget it.
CROSS
Too bad. Another run, and we'd have finished with this sector...

Accepted

Talk to Taryn Cross

CROSS
Damn it, am I expecting too much...
...asking you to complete your mission in a timely manner?
I can see it in your eyes. You haven't flown it yet, have you?
PLAYER
Quit nosing around in my eyes, Taryn.  
I promise, your mission is now on top of my list of things to do.
CROSS
Yeah? Then get to it! I want to see Delta Prime charted in my lifetime!
Maneuver through Gamma to the jump point located there...
...jump to Delta Prime and hit the nav point we've programmed into your computer.
Just one more mapping run, and we've completed our chart of the sector.
Just fly your programmed course, and return when you're finished.
PLAYER
You don't have to remind me.  
I'm negligent... not stupid...

Rejected

Talk to Taryn Cross

CROSS
You've changed your mind?
PLAYER
I'm considering rethinking my decision.
CROSS
Talk about fear of commitment...
Look. You need to fly through Gamma to the jump point there...
...jump to Delta Prime and hit the nav point we've programmed into your computer.
Afterwards, report back here for your payment of 10,000 credits.
Agreed?
Accept Refuse
CROSS
If it goes well, this will be your last run in this sector.
Good luck.
PLAYER
I'd better quit while I'm ahead here, Taryn.
CROSS
Your call, $CS. Someone will come along and finish this job.
So long.

Failed

Talk to Taryn Cross

PLAYER
Look, you don't have to tell me. I know I screwed up.
CROSS
Yeah, you did. It hurts me to say this, because I like you...
...but I'm afraid you're fired.
We need results, $CS. And I don't want to sit around this god-forsaken sector forever.
PLAYER
Hey, I'll try harder, I'll work faster...
CROSS
Sorry, $NM...you had your chance and you blew it.
I wish you luck. Good-bye.

Completed

Talk to Taryn Cross

CROSS
Well? How did it go?
PLAYER
Pulled it off, naturally. What else did you expect?
No offense intended.
CROSS
I suppose you want to be paid for pushing back the frontier for all mankind?
PLAYER
Not to be crass...but yeah.
CROSS
Here it is. Last payday. Don't drink it all at once.
PLAYER
Yeah...well, I guess that wraps up my stint in the ES.  
Taryn, it's been fun.
CROSS
Too much fun can kill you, $NM.
PLAYER
Yeah...that's why I'm heading out before it becomes a joy. Take care.
CROSS
You too.
