Mission Briefing

Initial Offer

Talk to Masterson

MASTERSON

Good to see you back, $CS. We've been needing your help.

PLAYER

Yeah, well, I didn't realize how dangerous research had gotten.

MASTERSON

The Retros are always at our throats trying to stop it,

and the pirates trying to get to it.

Which, of course, could mean money for you. We need someone to patrol Oxford.

PLAYER

Well, I suppose I could take easy money from you.  

Don't you have less skilled help with your simple chores?

MASTERSON

The militia re-enforcements are weeks late. They're in high demand these days.

We need you to patrol each nav point, and eliminate any threats...

...fanatical or opportunistic.

Come back here for payment.

PLAYER

I could use the target practice, but not for free, of course.

MASTERSON

I can offer the usual 10,000.

Accept	Refuse
MASTERSON Good luck. See you soon.	PLAYER Sorry. Not my style.

Accepted

Talk to Masterson

MASTERSON

Oxford Security reports increased activity in the system.

Obviously, you've not held up your end of the deal.

PLAYER

Could be temporary amnesia. What was I supposed to do?

MASTERSON

Simply Patrol all nav points of Oxford System, and return for 10,000.

Deal?

Accept	Refuse
PLAYER Pirates, Retros, death, 10,000. Got it.	MASTERSON You have to quit changing your mind like this. It might get in the way of the information you seek.

Rejected

Talk to Masterson

PLAYER

O.K., Masterson, I've reconsidered.  

Tell me the details again.

MASTERSON

Patrol the nav points in Oxford.

Destroy all Retro and Pirate threats,

And return for your 10,000.

Hurry, if you're interested in more work.

Accept	Refuse
MASTERSON You must not value my opinion of your dependability.	MASTERSON I'm sure my friend would not approve.

WC:CIC Game Guide

Your second chore is to patrol Oxford system. Not difficult, but at least it pays well. If you're short on cash you could fly some extra Patrol Oxford missions from the terminal or Mercenaries Guild at the same time.

Notes:

The only type of ship that you are likely to face in this mission is the Talon. However, there are likely to be at least 6 of them although not at the same time. Be prepared just in case.
