Mission briefing
We have a quickly escalating situation here, and I need your help to control the damage. Ashur Ylavun found a way to sneak back into the research facility here in <agent's home station>; he got the help of some old friends in the corporation who had no idea he is ... changed. Now, we've dealt with the employees who helped him, but we can't find Ylavun himself. The problem is that he managed to slip out with copies of some preliminary design documents for a prototype battleship that's going to be built here in the station next year. I take it I don't have to tell you how valuable these documents are, nor what would happen if they fall into the wrong hands. Now, we managed to get a tracking beacon painted onto Ylavun's ship as he blasted out of here, and one of our scanning engineers was then able to track him to <mission location>. We sent a recon pilot out there, and she was able to pick up some heavy drone activity; I'll upload the exact coordinates of the locus of that activity to your NeoCom for you in just a sec. We need those copies of the design documents destroyed, <pilot name>, along with Ashur Ylavun and all of his “friends.” If you get out there and he isn't around, don't worry: He's bound to show his face out there eventually.
