Mission briefing
Yes, that's true. You're <Pilot>, right? So many new capsuleers these days – hard to keep them all straight. My apologies.

Anyway, listen: We recently lost contact with a small group of miners at <System>. Outside of the miners' distress beacon being activated, we've heard nothing from them for two days. Just... silence.

Normally, we'd just hire new crews. But we spent a fortune on implants for those miners, and we're not ready to write those off. So would you please go to <System> and see what's what?

Whatever the case, you'll need to bring those miners back here for examination and questioning.

The Slave Trade
It never fails to amuse the more cynical in New Eden that the Amarr — with all their holier than thou piety — see nothing wrong with their use of slaves. Still, this darker side of the Amarrian faith, while upsetting to many, never fails to generate the gleam of potential profits for those willing to provide such slaves.

The Angel Cartel — arguably the strongest criminal organization plaguing the star lanes today — has not let this business opportunity go amiss. Yet it is a matter even the Cartel handles delicately, since it has no wish to openly provoke the Minmatar Empire or its Gallente allies. Still, if a few Minmatar ships go missing, who would notice? The blackness of space promises many dangers to the unwary, and much ISK to those who happen to be in the right place at the right time (with the right weapons...).

Warp-in

A few seconds after arrival, the three Republic frigates (flagged as enemies) are triggered to blow up regardless of player interaction. A reinforcement group arrives when the last initial enemy is destroyed. After the last ship is destroyed, the Troubled Miners are transferred to your cargo, no need to loot.

In local, Just after destruction of the Republic ships
It's a trap! A Trap! It's the Angels – they're slave-raiding for the Amarr! They set our distress beacon to draw in more ships, and more potential slaves. We're on one of their ships, and we've just managed to rig this radio down here in-


Oh no! They're coming down the hall! They must have detected the signal... save us!
