Mission Briefing

Initial Offer

Talk to Masterson

MASTERSON

I don't have time to swap pleasantries, $NM.

We have a freighter making the jump to Saxtogue from Nav 1, Oxford System.

We're making a series of transports of library support machinery.

We believe they could be in some danger from Retro attacks.

Escort the freighter and make sure it jumps out safely...

...and return here for your payment...along with more work.

PLAYER

How long before they strike?  

MASTERSON

They could arrive at any moment. Please help, $NM.

Surely, 10,000 credits still interests you.

WC:CIC Game Guide

A transport carrying library equipment needs to leave the system, but because he is worried about a Retro attack, he wants you to escort it to the jump point. You need to make sure that it jumps out before returning to Oxford.

Notes:

Upon launching you'll find the transport in the area with Retro forces closing in. They'll come in two waves of 3 Talons. Take them out, then autopilot towards Nav 1. You'll have to wait some time for the transport to reach the jump point since it is so slow.
