Mission briefing

Hm. Yes. As a matter of fact, I do have a relatively serious matter that could use someone of your ability … not to mention someone with your considerable resources. One of our patrols spotted a Mordu's Legion strike force not far from here. We have since received intelligence confirming that the Legion has been hired to assassinate one of our high-ranking officials. We can't let this happen, of course, so we need someone of your caliber to destroy them all. Make sure no one survives. Of course, we ourselves have used the Legion in the past for … well, for various things. So we don't want to make a big political scene out of this if we ever have to hire them in the future. That's why we mustn't send one of our own ships out to confront them. No, you're the right one for this job. Leave no trace behind; I don't want this biting us in the ass later on. Oh, and one other thing: Our spies inform us that Taisu Magdesh might actually be part of the Mordu strike force, so be extra careful if he appears ― his reputation is hard won.
