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

Description

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.

Objectives

Patrol Oxford System then return to Oxford.

Scripted Encounters

Pirates or Retros at each Nav point except Oxford.

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.

Mission : Employers

Comments : Of the three employers (Confed, Murphy, and Tayla), only two are need to be satisfied before Masterson introduces you to his friend. In my first play of RF, I completely missed Tayla.

Mission : Steltek Gun

Comments : I really don't remember the details, it was a long time ago, but I was able to keep my Seltek Gun from Privateer by rewriting my savegame file extension so that it would be recognized by Righteous Fire.
