: Yes, $NM, I'm glad you've come.
: Of course, of course.

: So I expected. But our interests may coincide for a little while.
 
: Let me tell you the story of Mordecai Jones.
: '''PILGRIM'''
: He was unknown when he joined the Church of Man five years ago.
: Alas! Woe to us all!
: He started as a ship technician, but by virtue of his astounding eloquence and technical skill,
: Our leader has been stricken down!
: he quickly attained a position of leadership. Within a year, he commanded a Church battalion.
: His mighty temple, destroyed.
: Within three years, he was an Elite Guard Commander. He was soon in a position equal to my own.
: You have survived and returned for initiation,
: When His Holiness Father Benengeli, the previous Church Leader, died a year ago,
: but in vain. The light shines in the temple no longer.
: it was revealed that he had appointed Mordecai Jones as his successor.
: Jones's leadership brought the Church a stunning string of victories.
: He provided us with new Kilrathi ships and stronger arms.
: And, of course, our new secret weapon. I believe it is known to you.  


: '''PLAYER'''
: '''PLAYER'''
: My gun?  
: Darn. Guess I'd better be going, then.
 
: '''PILGRIM'''
: The tears of the faithful will flood the land.
: A new, dark age has risen for the Church of Man.
: Will we survive? I do not know.
 
'''Talk to Monte'''


: '''INFORMANT'''
: '''MONTE'''
: Yes. The Steltek super-weapon. Church engineers have already learned how to duplicate it.
: Greetings, $NM. I thank you for your service.
: The copies have been used experimentally. Mass production is imminent.
: But I must also warn you that I am once again your mortal enemy.
: I don't believe your Confederation can withstand such a powerful force.  
: I am a man of my word, and will carry out my promise.
: All plans and copies of the Steltek gun will be destroyed.
: In return, you must refrain from revealing the location of Eden to the Confederation.


: '''PLAYER'''
: '''PLAYER'''
: That's for sure. But I thought you were disgruntled.  
: The Confederation would pay a lot for that information. What's to stop me?
: This whole situation seems perfect for you.  
 
: '''MONTE'''
: Only the threat of vengeance.
: And your conscience, if you have one.
: $NM, our acquaintance has been brief, and we will not meet again.
: Farewell, infidel.
 
'''Talk to Admiral Terrell'''


: '''INFORMANT'''
: '''TERRELL'''
: Oh, it is. The average Churchman's dreams seem about to be realized.
: Brilliant work. Gemini and the Confederation owe you another debt.
: But my high rank gives me access to some closely guarded secrets.
: It's too bad so few people know about your heroic actions.
: Six months ago, I accidentally came upon some transmissions from Jones to Governor Menesch.
: If they did, you'd be the most popular man in Gemini.
: They mentioned 'the Ulterior Motive.' A plan I had never heard of.
: My suspicions were aroused. Further research revealed the nature of this plan.
: In summary, it led to Jones's domination of Gemini,
: and gave Menesch a great deal of power and wealth.
: When the entire region was secure, Jones would dismantle the Church of Man.
: He planned to use Churchmen as a police force.
: No ultimate destruction of technology. Only megalomania.
: It's an old story, $NM. Somehow, though, I'm surprised that it's worked again.  


: '''PLAYER'''
: '''PLAYER'''
: That's some pretty wild stuff.  
: Flattery will get you nowhere, Admiral.
: I'm not going to join the Navy. Period.  


: '''INFORMANT'''
: '''TERRELL'''
: It is. I have taken a leave of absence from my Church duties,
: Maybe not, but who knows what the future will bring? 
: hoping to find some means of stopping Jones.
: Anyway, I assume you've been paid?
: Time is short. But I think you can save us. I have a plan.


: '''PLAYER'''
: '''PLAYER'''
: Save you? So that you can wipe out the Confederation anyway? No thanks.    
: Yes, I have. And I think I'm going to take a vacation.    
: I like my electric razors and my holovids.  
 
: '''TERRELL'''
: Good. You certainly deserve it. 
: Goodbye, $NM. You have my eternal respect and gratitude.

'''Talk to Admiral Terrell'''


: '''INFORMANT'''
: '''TERRELL'''
: I understand your concern. So I'll offer you a deal.
: $NM, let me tell you a little about Righteous Fire.
: If you succeed in destroying Jones,
: Righteous Fire was developed at Origin Systems.
: I give you my word that we will destroy all copies of the Steltek gun.
: The producer was Warren Spector.
: Additionally, your name will be removed from the Church Hit List.  


: '''PLAYER'''
: '''PLAYER'''
: Pretty crazy. Your word is all I have.
: Haven't we had this conversation before?  


: '''INFORMANT'''
: '''TERRELL'''
: That is true. Of course, during the mission you will discover our headquarters.
: Pay attention. Arthur DiBianca was the project leader, programmer, and conversation writer.
: If you wish, you can inform the Confederation and they can eventually destroy it.
: Phil Wattenbarger came up with the game concept and wrote additional conversations.
: We will be forced to relocate. Very costly and disruptive.
: Phil Wattenbarger and Tom Kassebaum handled the design.
: But it is worth it to me.  


: '''PLAYER'''
: '''PLAYER'''
: Why me? Why not take this to the Confederation?  
: I see. Who did the new artwork?  


: '''INFORMANT'''

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.

Mission :

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.
