|<Corporation> has a slight problem on its hands. One of our agents sent a certain mercenary on a very important courier mission to deliver an item of great value to our headquarters. This was a few weeks ago, and this mercenary never showed up at his destination. At first we thought he had simply run off with the goods, but upon further investigation that proved not to be the case. His ship had been destroyed, though, we received no transmissions from him, and we found clues at the site linking the crime to a certain pirate who also happens to work as a bounty hunter.

Mission briefing
<Corporation> has a slight problem on its hands. One of our agents sent a certain mercenary on a very important courier mission to deliver an item of great value to our headquarters. This was a few weeks ago, and this mercenary never showed up at his destination. At first we thought he had simply run off with the goods, but upon further investigation that proved not to be the case. His ship had been destroyed, though, we received no transmissions from him, and we found clues at the site linking the crime to a certain pirate who also happens to work as a bounty hunter. I have no doubt that some pirate organization put him up to it, but that is of little importance compared to retrieving the item that was stolen.

Now we looked up this bounty hunter and we discovered something that will interest you, no doubt. What we found was that he is currently on an assignment to kill none other than you, <Pilot>. Who hired him we do not know, but considering your past I'm sure you have a few suspects in mind who might pull something like this off. Now that we have a mutual target, I thought, "Why not ask <Pilot> to take care of the job?" And then suddenly here you are.

By doing this assignment, you'll not only rid yourself of a rat who's on your tail, but you will retrieve the item that we're after. I'm sure you're willing to get the job done, eh? I'll upload the pirate scumbag's current location into your NeoCom; he's out in <System> hanging around a casino. He's a pretty tough nut to crack, I hear, so you may want to bring backup with you just in case.
