Mission briefing
It has come to my attention that one of our employee's daughters has gone missing. She was last spotted in a disreputable nightclub in <System>, and we're afraid she's been forced into slave labor, or even prostitution. We request that you find her immediately and bring her safe and sound back to her family. I will give you the coordinates of this nightclub, I believe it is inside a pleasure complex, and I expect you to take care of the rest. Good luck.

Single ungated pocket. You can warp in at preferred distance.

Reinforcements arrive when you attack Kruul (unless the Casino is destroyed first) and when the pleasure garden takes armor and hull damage.

Important note: The Damsel will appear in the cargo hold of the ship that got the last hit of the Pleasure Garden. This should be noted if you are running this mission in fleets.

Note to important note: Endrulf Anbet Skor reported on 7 January 2023 that the Damsel did not appear in the cargo hold so this is most likely no longer true.

Notable loot: Kruul drops just some DNA. Zor drops Zbikoki's Hacker Card that allows you to skip the first room in Worlds Collide missions. Zor also drops an implant that is usually cheap but can be valuable if you are lucky. The gardens drop commodities such as tourists and tobacco.

Tip: Don't let your drones shoot Kruul as that will trigger the Battleship reinforcements. Also, recall your drones before your last hit to the Pleasure Garden, it explosion can kill your light or salvage drones (from someone who lost 10 salvage drones because he forgot about this)

Blitz: Destroy the ships, Destroy Kruul's Pleasure Garden (the one further away from warpin), loot the canister (the Damsel will NOT appear in your cargo hold), return to agent. The incoming DPS is very high if all waves are triggered.
