New Missions

Pakkrat sent me the details for the initial offers for the two potential Tickets that are on the table at the moment. I'll copy/paste what he sent, but I haven't had the time to lay it out all pretty for you guys yet. If you want to pull up Mercenary, you should be able to figure it all out. Otherwise, I'll try to translate and go through our options as as I get chance. Missions: The Aslan Assessment Service Type: Security - Escort, Base Compensation Grade: B or C, +Dream, Recon, Base Compensation Grade: D. Short Mission upon arrival at Dentus 2d6 days. Obscure Exposure. Neutral Target (s) of potential value: Alien (Vargr). Ticket Risk - assumed Easy. Pre-Ticket Transport (Aslan Courier) and Post-Ticket Transport (Aslan Clan Transport). Medical Care on Dentus Scout Base available. Thoengling Interception Striker, Elimination, Dream or Unlawful Acquisition. C or D. Short Mission 1d6 weeks + hard deadline. Hidden Exposure. Target: Item - 18tons of TL10 ACR and ammo (Trade Goods), Commercial. Ticket Risk: Too Easy. Special Requirements: Secret Mission, Items must not make it to Anti-Rukh Coalition.

Our current lack of ship gimps us a little. How is the countdown on the cruiser looking? We could probably do the Dentus job without a ship, but I'm not sure about that other one.

Pakkrat says.... Your points of contact for: The Aslan Assessment Aroulei and Tai, two Darrian-Improved Augmented, female and male, Darrian-Aslan.  They are both ex-Military (Darrian), having seen action, both have civilian armors and Aslan Battledress.  Aroulei has been witnessed with a Plasma Streamer and a Gravity Spear.  Tai carries the Aslan War Axe and a Heavy Machinegun.  The two are remembered from the Passenger Liner Ticket, the Zamine Ticket, present at Tenalphi and now at Regina and representing the Ahurai Clan in Regina subsector.  They speak Trokh, Darrian and Galanglic. Thoengling Interception The male, Gvegh, Vargr Emissary (Diplomat) is named Varrgksadae (VARRX-sah-dye) from the Thoengling Empire and is the ambassador from that Empire to Regina subsector.  He is worried about the stability of Gvurrdon Sector post-5FW and wants to both help the Rukh Empire and the Anti-Rukh Coalition by keeping the flames between them low.  Varrgksadae owns a Yacht vessel as a reward for continued, open trade between the Thoengling Empire and the Domain of Deneb.  His UWP is 776BAA.  He comes unarmed and wears robes of office and a stole of the Diplomat School.  His armor is Gel Cloth with Reflec.  He speaks Gvegh, Aekhu, Galanglic and Zhodani.

I've laid out the Aslan Assessment Ticket in the Company Documents. I've not bothered with the Interception Ticket, since we don't have a ship.  Before negotiating should work out to be worth about 200,000 Cr gross for some where around 2d6 days. Sebastien should be able to bump that up a bit, and then get transportation back to Lunion in the bargain. We'll fill in the rest of the details tonight at meta, hopefully. On the face of it, it's nothing exciting, but it's better than paying for passage and not getting paid for the time. On the other hand, Crow has some serious reservations with our contact people. Aroulei has also PM'ed Sebastien with a number of rather prying questions, including ones about the Artemis Group's visit to Darrian space. He handled her requests with tact, of course, but he felt it was worth noting.

As I said last week, I’m not making this planning session; I might make it on somewhere between 9:30 P.M. and 10 P.M. EST, but no sooner. I can’t even stay now. Wolfen, don’t give away the home world!
