- CROSS
- Well, $CS, are the dragons slain?
- PLAYER
- Wipe the dragons from your charts, and replace them with pirates.
- Dead pirates, anyway. The area was swarming with the little buggers...
- ...but I did a little exterminating before completing my mapping run.
- CROSS
- That's good to know. If I don't get this sector mapped real soon...
- ...the brass at HQ will have my rear.
- PLAYER
- Lucky brass. Any way I can beat them to it?
- CROSS
- Hmmm...maybe we'll discuss that after this next mission.
- This time you'll enter a completely unexplored region.
- I need you to launch from Rygannon, pass through Delta to a new jump point...
- ...which you will use to jump to the uncharted system we've designated Beta.
- All you have to do is hit all the nav points in your computer.
- I'll update the chart using your flight disc and pay you 10,000 credits when you return...

| Payment | 10,000 credits. |
| Requirements | Hit the four nay points pre-programmed into your ship's computer. |
| Opponents | Unfortunately, you are not the first to seek your fortune down an uncharted jump tunnel. There are four hostile pirate Talons (fanatical pros) at Nov 2 and eight hostile pirate Talons (fanatical aces) at Nov 3. |
- If you killed all the hunters and Centurions during the PaLan missions, then you will notice that the militia is after you, which will work to your advantage in this series. If you meet any enemies in an asteroid field, you will want to him back in the direction you came from, then afterburner out of the field and fight them outside the field. Also, be sure to use vow missiles and afterburners [WIT now and then. - "Havoc"
WC:CIC Game Guide
Description
The Taryn Cross missions consist of patrolling unexplored systems. However these systems aren't totally unexplored since various enemies already know about them. There are also a large number of asteroids in the area. Other than that, these are simply patrol missions. Remember, you're meant to reach within 1000 klicks of each Nav point.
Objectives
Travel to Delta system and patrol 4 Nav points then return to Rygannon.
Scripted Encounters
Pirates at least once in Delta
Notes
- The reason Cross has been losing every ship she sends to Delta is that the place is swarming with pirates. Take them out and report back to Cross.
