Mission Briefing

Initial Offer

Talk to Admiral Terrell

TERRELL

Good day, $NM. I trust you remember me?

PLAYER

Naturally.  

TERRELL

I've been impressed by your recent efforts to help the Confederation.

Captain Goodin's reports to me have been most positive.

As I'm sure you have learned, the Retros have gotten out of hand.

Their recent surge in activity is attributable to one Mordecai Jones.

Stopping the threat means eliminating Jones.

Unfortunately, we have very little information about his current location.

Intelligence analysis indicates that he's operating from the Fariss quadrant.

But that's all we know.

Therefore, we're going to begin a thorough search of Fariss.

We're going to comb each system until we find him.

PLAYER

So how do I fit in?  

TERRELL

As you know, we've got nearly all our forces mobilized already.

They're split between the Kilrathi and the Retros.

We can only spare a handful of ships for the search.

but a handful is not enough. Using Confederation ships alone,

the search would take years.

We need volunteers to beef up our search teams.

That's how you fit in.

PLAYER

What are you offering?  

TERRELL

We need you to patrol Death, Pestilence, and War.

You get 20,000.

PLAYER

That's an awful lot of space to cover in one flight.  

TERRELL

I know. You should fuel up at Macabee in Nexus before starting.

Accept	Refuse
TERRELL Good. It's imperative that you return here when you're done. We'll analyze your data and see if there's any place to attack.	TERRELL That's too bad. Our effort depends on you. Please reconsider.

Accepted

Talk to Admiral Terrell

TERRELL

What are you doing here, $NM? Your mission's not complete.

PLAYER

I may be reconsidering. What are the details again?  

TERRELL

You are to patrol Death, Pestilence and War.

I recommend you fuel up at Macabee in Nexus first.

You must return here afterwards. The pay is 20,000.

Accept	Refuse
PLAYER Got it. See you later.	PLAYER No.   TERRELL That's too bad. Our effort depends on you.

Rejected

Talk to Admiral Terrell

TERRELL

Good to see you again, $NM.

We need you badly. Let me describe my offer again.

You are to patrol Death, Pestilence and War.

I recommend you fuel up at Macabee in Nexus first.

You must return here afterwards. The pay is 20,000.

Accept	Refuse
PLAYER I can't resist a begging Admiral.	TERRELL I see. Then our cause is all but lost.

In Flight

Talk to Pirate

# Hope you're not looking for trouble.

# You're making me nervous.

PIRATE

Hey hotshot, my employer wants to see you. He's waiting for you at Drake Base, In the Capella system. He can't wait for long...

# And who's that?

# Who would employ you.

PIRATE

I just get paid to deliver the message. I'm much more interested in your cargo. Fat cargo holds Are hard to come by these days. Say, maybe you're carrying something good for me. Eh, sailor boy?

# Back off, I've got nothing for you!

# You're going down, pirate!

PIRATE

Well, we'll meet again. My manners end when you land on Drake in Capella. We'll see if you ever get to Drake in Capella.

Completed

TERRELL

Good work, $NM. Your data is quite complete.

I'm afraid that there was no evidence of any bases in the systems you patrolled.

You're not alone. All patrols so far have turned up nothing.

All except the Epsilon group, which hasn't returned yet.

They were sent to patrol 17-AR, J-900, Telar, and Valhalla.

We've lost contact with them. I'm sending additional ships to look for them.

Anyway, I want to thank you for your help,

and to inform you that I'll pay you 80,000 if you can somehow get rid of Jones.

That's all. Goodbye.

WC:CIC Game Guide

Description

You have met the Informant before while working for Monte. Now the Informant wants you to take out Jones. The Informant tells you of Jones' plans, why he wants Jones dead, and the location of a secret Retro base. You are to fly to this base and find out where Jones is.

Objectives

Fly to Valhalla system and find the secret jump point to Eden system. Jump to Eden and land on Gaea base.

Find out where Jones is, then find and destroy him. When complete, return to Drake base in Capello.

Scripted Encounters

Retros at both Nav points in Eden

Notes

• It is a long flight to the base, and to make matters worse you must be sure not to take any damage or use any missiles because you still have the main battle left, not forgetting the trip back to Drake. Where possible, avoid encounters and just afterburn away as fast as you can. Once you reach the Retro base Gaea, beg for forgiveness at the temple. There you will learn how to find Jones.
• Jones is heading towards the moon. Take off, turn towards the moon (changing to the Chase Camera may help you find it) and fly in that direction. Afterburn if you want to make the journey quicker. When you are around 40,000m away from Gaea, Jones will appear.
• Jones will stay away, so take out his his guards first. You'll face 13 of them, all in the Salthis bought from the Kilrathi. After that, on to Jones. He is flying a Centurion which is quite strongly shielded and armored. To make matters worse, he is quite fond of ramming you so make sure to save a few missiles for him. Once you are finished with him, land at Gaea, save, then head back to Drake.
• The Informant thanks you for taking out Jones. At this point, continue on to Perry to report to Admiral Terrell. He'll give you the 20,000 for the mission you flew for him before you got sidetracked. He'll thank you for taking out Jones and say goodbye. Talk to him again for the little Credits chat. Congratulations... you win!

Mission : Jones Mission

Comments : A hidden jump point is near the asteroids when you fly towards the moon to fight Jones. It makes getting home to Perry a lot easiar. Land on Gaea first, have a gut laugh at the crumbled shrine, then fly back to the moon and hit the jump.

Comments : The jump point goes to Rikel. Also, if you went back for the 20,000 before going to Gaea, Terrel offers you a large sum for killing Jones, like 80,000.

Comments : Hidden jump point? It's not hidden, you're supposed to see it. It is not possible not to discover the jump point, when you are fighting Jones and his army. And nobody in the world could resist using the jump point, so everybody knows it leads to Rikel.

Mission : Jones--Hidden Jump Points

Comments : I know of only one other 'hidden' jump point besides the one that takes you to and from Rikel. Are there any others? Thanks.
