MASTERSON - Mission

you the lead you need.

When you return to Perry, Goodin also gives you a 30,000 bounty
on Governor Menesch.
NOTE: Now that you've completed two of the three mission sets
(Murphy and Goodin), you can go back to Masterson for his contacts,
OR you can head for Oakham (Pentonville System) to see if Tayla
has some work for you. |
|

|
|
 |
TAYLA - Mission
2
Objective: Run Brilliance from Tuck's in Sherwood
to Saratov in Prasepe. Pays 20,000.
You may think this is simple because you have that hidden compartment

gotten past it and they can now see through that compartment
now. Just afterburn past patrols. |
|
|
 |
TAYLA - Mission
3
Objective: Run Brilliance from Tuck's in Sherwood
to Speke in Junction. Pays 30,000.

those missiles until alot later. |

TAYLA - Mission

Objective: Run Brilliance from Tuck's in Sherwood
to Basque in Pyrennes. Pays 40,000.
Just do the same thing as previous missions and afterburn past
patrols.
If you have completed Goodin and Lynn Murphy's missions, head
back to Oxford ... Masterson is finally impressed, and he tells
you that his friend Monte, who is in hiding, is on Palan. He'll
meet you at the bar there, so go there. |
|
|
 |
MONTE - Mission
1
Objective: Take Monte to New Detroit.
You found Monte in the bar at Palan. He wants to go to New Detroit,
and he's not paying a penny. A couple unknowns block your way
at the jumpoint to New Detroit, otherwise just random encounters. |
|
|
 |
MONTE - Mission
2
The Retros seem to be under this new leader called Modecai Jones.
No one knows about him, but Monte's contact may know something
more.
Objective: Fly to Drake in Capello to meet Monte's
contact.
No scripted enemies, just random encounters. |
|
|
 |
INFORMANT - Mission
You will find the informant in the bar.
Objective: Take the document that you get from the
informant back to Monte at New Detroit.
Some more of those unknown fighters block your way. Either blow
past them or kill them. |
|
|
 |
MONTE - Mission
3
Monte explained that Modecai Jones is at a secret base somewhere,
and somehow they learned that Monte's looking for them.
Objective: Take off and destroy the Retro ambush at
Nexus system, nav 4.
When you jump into the Nexus system, you'll see some more of
those Unknown ships. When you get to nav 4, you'll face many
Retro Talons. Save your missiles for that. Take them all out,
and return to New Detroit. |
|
|
 |
MONTE - Mission
4
Monte doesn't know where the secret retro base is, but he does
have a lead on where this Governor Menesch is ... and you can
collect all those bounties. Menesch is believed to be in the
Troy system, or one of the neighboring systems. Patrol the place...
Objective: Patrol the Troy System (and neighboring
systems). Kill Govenor Menesch.
Head to Troy, and explore the nearby nav points. Then follow
the jump to the next system (Regallis?) that you haven't checked.
You'll eventually come across Governor Menesch with several
escorts. Menesch will tell you a story about how he sold your
gun to the Retros, and that those unknown ships are actually
Retros. He'll jump out, so jump after him. Take out his escorts
and kill him.
Don't forget to head back to Lynn Murphy (Edom in New
Constantinople) and Sandra Goodin (Perry Naval Base) for your
bounties. |
|
|
 |
GOODIN / TERRELL
- Mission
This only occurs after you've taken out Governor Menesch and
gotten the bounty from Goodin.
Fly to Blockade Point Alpha, Nav 1, and follow Commodore Uhler's
instructions. When you get there, Commodore Uhler request that
you patrol the system.
Objective: Patrol Blockade Point Alpha.
The system is FULL of Kilrathi ships. You'll see at least 3
at every navpoint, except the last, which has 9 ships (and a
small Confed force).
NOTE: One of the Kilrathi will boast that they have been selling
ships to the Retros so they can kill more humans. That explains
those "unknown" ships flying about...
When you return, visit Admiral Terrell in his office at Perry
Naval Base. |
|
|
 |
TERRELL - Mission 1 or 2
Admiral Terrell needs privateers to search the various systems
for signs of Modecai Jones.
Objective: Head to Macabee in Nexus and proceed to
patrol Death, Pestilence and War. Pays 20,000.
Retros are all over this area, kill them all and try to keep
your ship intact.
When you head back, a Pirate ship tell you that his "employer"
wants to meet you at Drake in the Capello system. |
|
|
 |
INFORMANT 2 - Mission
The "employer" is Monte's "informant", and he is actually a
high-level Retro priest. He knows where the Retro secret base
is ... and he has reasons to want Jones gone. The secret base
is in Valhalla system. Jones is there or nearby. Find him and
destroy him.
Objective: Kill Modecai Jones
It's a long flight to Valhalla, and a big battle is ahead, so
save your missiles. There are just random encounters (mostly
Retros) along the way.
When you get to Valhalla, fight your way through, and land at
the Retro base called Gaea. Enter the temple. Do what comes
natural undercover (pretend to be a Retro), and you'll get your
clue about where Jones is. The clue tells you to look for the
moon, and fly toward it ... you should see a jump point! Jump
through, and Jones will be there.
Take out all the Salthi escorts piloted by Retros. There would
be more than 10. Then take on Jones himself in a decked-out
Centurion. He has your Steltek gun. Fry him.
Return to Perry Naval base to claim your fee from the admiral,
and congratulations. |
|
|
 |
BONUS - Mission
(verified by 1 person) If you find Roman Lynch in the Pyranees
system (on the Basque base), he asks you to kill Governor Menesch
also (a lot of people wants that guy dead!). In return, he'll
"reset" your reputation to "neutral" (toward everybody except
perhaps Kilrathi and Retros) by hacking Confed and Pirate databases.
Once Governor Menesch is dead (as plenty of other people want
him head), you can have Lynch reset the first time for free.
Any time after that will cost you some credits. |
