Talk to Masterson

PLAYER
Hello, Masterson. I've come looking for a little help.
MASTERSON
Great, $NM, we can use all the help we can get these days.
PLAYER
You misunderstood. I'm looking for information that'll help me find my gun.
MASTERSON
I heard news. I thought that gun was dangerous in your hands, but....
Perhaps we can trade services.
I have a friend who considers himself an expert on every fringe organization in Gemini.
He has his ear open to all underground activity, but...
...he's leery of meeting new people,
Somewhat paranoid.
I can't blame him. He's pretty unpopular from exposing certain groups.
But, if you could help me out I would consider introducing you.
PLAYER
Meeting your friend doesn't sound too exciting, but I can check my own leads with your money.  
I hope you're not expecting charity work.
MASTERSON
Well we are an academic institution, and rather needy at the moment.
The constant threat from the Retros has us worried.
We are disassembling the Oxford library.
With the Retros on the rise, having all our knowledge in one place has become dangerous.
We've become too big of a target. And with the Confederation occupied with the Kilrathi,
We're virtually unprotected.
I need you to deliver part of our rare books collection to a safer place:
Base Edom in New Constantinople.
The job pays 10,000. Return here afterwards. How about it?
Hurry back for more work, and I'll see about locating my friend.
I know it's not many credits, but I'm offering extended employment,
and the chance to meet an invaluable contact.
Accept Refuse
MASTERSON
We're desperate, but you would be crazy to pass up this opportunity.
MASTERSON
You'll be back.

Accepted

Talk to Masterson

MASTERSON
I see you still haven't delivered my rare books.
Why is that?
PLAYER
Not your concern, Masterson. Let's hear the details again.
MASTERSON
All right, then.
You're to deliver a load of rare books to Base Edom in New Constantinople.
It's that simple.
Your reward will be 10,000 credits.
Accept Refuse
MASTERSON
Good.
MASTERSON
Interesting. If you change your mind, I'll be here.

Rejected

Talk to Masterson

MASTERSON
I had a hunch you'd return, $NM.
PLAYER
Swell. Tell me about the mission again.
MASTERSON
You're to deliver a load of rare books to Base Edom in New Constantinople.
Your reward will be 10,000 credits.
Accept Refuse
MASTERSON
Good. I'll have the books loaded immediately.
MASTERSON
If you want to meet my contact, you'll have to fly my missions.

WC:CIC Game Guide

The Retros are much more powerful than they used to be, and they now have Oxford Library worried. As a result, Masterson is dismantling the library and he needs people to take the contents elsewhere. When you have helped Masterson enough, he will ask his contact to meet you. His contact knows a lot about underground organizations and may know what happened to your gun.

Notes:

This mission is just a simple cargo mission to get you back in the swing of things. There are no scripted enemy encounters, so there are only the standard random encounters.
