Completion
You nod your head realizing that 'odd' isn't quite the word to describe this man; annoying would be closer.


"A bit of excitement out there I hear," Calvert-Smythe continues in his shrill voice, "but a bit of dashing gusto and what-ho, here you are."

You begin to wonder how anyone could be quite this irritating.

"I cannot tell you, {G"old chap" "dear girl"}," he whines, "how glad we were when you came through. Things were getting pretty grim around here, but, with a little derring-do, you made it.

"Anyway, here's your payment," he hands you a credit chip as you try not to wince at his offensive pitch. "I might have some more work for you soon, keep looking in the ship outfitting area. Jolly good show!"

You are starting to feel a little bit like a cornered rat.


"Oh, and it seems that the Aurorans are getting on to you, old {G"chap" "girl"}," he continues painfully, "they seem to have assembled something resembling a small fleet to stop you.

Oh, what I would give to be out there, duelling with them, looking the savage in the eye and smelling the breath of the beast. I say! Smashing!"

He shifts slightly, refocusing his attention on you.

"He can be a bit hard to take all right," he smiles, becoming more serious. "The Federation has a few more sensitive missions for you. Go to Sol and ask for 'Commander Krane' in the bar and they should take you from there."

He leans a little closer.

"Do yourself a favor," he explains in a warning tone, "if you have noticed in your travels that the Aurorans aren't building up along our border any more than usual, it would probably pay to keep it to yourself. You know what they say about loose lips..."

"I can still see you," she confirms chuckling, "but it is good to see someone who has got good instincts."

Her chair creaks as she shifts slightly.

"Well it seems as though you have made it through part two of the test," she continues more seriously. "I have already transferred some money to your account for services rendered, and for now the testing will continue. You are doing well so far, but don't get overconfident.

"I will send someone to wait for you in the bar if I need you again," she states dismissively. "Until then your time is once again yours. Good day <PN>."

"Ah, you dropped in," begins the{G" lovely female " " "}voice of Commander Krane. "Good! I have something that I could use your help on."

You hear the familiar creaks of her chair as her weight shifts.

"Do you still want to continue working with the Bureau?"

Briefing[]

""This mission is a little more delicate," she explains, shifting her weight."

Briefing
"But, as I am sure you can understand, we at the Bureau have to look beyond the little people to the people behind them.


"Occasionally we get lucky," she continues explaining, "and we manage, by hook or by crook, to track down somebody who is surreptitiously raising credits to pay for the activities of our various enemies.

"Apparently a team of computer financial analysts managed to track down one such person by looking over his accounts and transactions," she breathes. "So we sent in a counter-intel team to round him up and guess what? They need to be retrieved. Go to <DST> in the <DSY> system to pick them up.

"Once again," she warns, "I understand that the Rebels have been showing up in that area, so take care of yourself."

"As soon as you land you see a team of two uniformed men and two women leading a bedraggled and apathetic male prisoner."

Loading Cargo
As they draw closer you notice the prisoner's hard callused hands. You start wondering about how a supposed financial whiz managed to get the hardened hands of a physical laborer. You feel a couple of suspicions starting to surface in the back of your mind as you head back into your cockpit.


After stowing their charge in your cargo bay the leader of the team comes forward and in a polite tone tells you that they are ready to go any time you are.

"You look on as the prisoner is dragged away under heavy guard. The suspicions about his true occupation remain, but you remain silent as he is marched off your ship."

Dropping Cargo
You shake yourself out of your reverie as the leader of the team you ferried back here comes over and thanks you for your help. She politely passes on the message that Commander Krane would like to see you before you leave.

"You make your way to the seemingly empty office. This time you manage to walk in with some self-assurance."

Completion
"Much better," comments Commander Krane on your entry. "It is good to see your confidence rising.


"By the look on your face I can see that this last mission is causing you to ask some questions regarding what is actually going on," she continues smoothly. "Good, that is exactly what I want. Just remember that the whole point of these missions is to test your loyalty, and you should do okay.

"The next few episodes should tell whether you are with us," she continues pleasantly after a slight pause, "or against us."

Her chair creaks as she shifts slightly as you mull over her last statement and its implications.

"Regardless, you are doing well so far," she praises sincerely, "and, as a result, you will find your account a little better off because of it. Keep it up.

"If I need you again, the usual deal will apply," she states dismissively. "Until then your time is once again yours. Good day."

You are lead to the room with the single blinding spotlight facing the door.


"It's about time you checked in," comes the{G" lovely " " "}voice of Commander Krane. "Obviously I have found something that I can use to further test how loyal you really are."

You hear the familiar creaks of her chair as her weight shifts.

"Are you still interested in working for the Bureau?"

Briefing[]

""Welcome to black-ops," she begins. "This operation is highly classified. It's only made legal because of our charter which gives us exceptional powers of arrest in times of emergency."

Briefing
As you are probably aware, the Third Auroran War has never been declared over, because, in reality, while the battles in space are over we are now warring in the fields of politics and intrigue.


"We have arrested someone who is deliberately undermining our efforts in these areas," she continues explaining. "His name is Faran Kurik, you may have heard of him."

You remember something about him being a political activist on the news vids.

"We can link him to any number of enemy intel agencies," she breathes, "and in the last few weeks he has been calling into question our very charter. We want to check him out thoroughly. Go to <DST> in the <DSY> system to pick him up.

"Be warned," she says seriously, "we believe that he has ties with the rebels, and you can expect them to try to stop us from talking to him."

"I hope you're proud of yourself," he mumbles. You shrug.


While you remain unsure about the morality of the tactics used by the Bureau in this 'spy war,' you are worldly enough to know that in war no one is innocent, and sometimes certain actions which would normally be abhorrent are necessary. You are also beginning to realize that Krane is deliberately assigning these missions to you, and possibly even lying about their very nature to see how far you are willing to go. So far you are unsure as to whether or not this is your thing, but you get the feeling from the way the missions have been ramping up that you will have to make your decision soon.

After stowing Mr. Kurik in your cargo bay the leader of the team comes forward and in a respectful voice tells you that they are ready to go any time you are.

Your questions regarding the tactics used by the Bureau in this 'war' remain, but for now you have continued to stay loyal to the Bureau, but you get the feeling that crunch time is not too far away.


You shake yourself our of your reverie as the leader of the team you ferried back here comes over and thanks you for your help. She politely passes on the message that Commander Krane would like to see you before you leave.

"Once again you make your way to the seemingly empty office, this time walking in confidently."

Completion
"Welcome back," comes the{G" beautiful " " "}voice of Commander Krane. "Another successful mission. Things are looking good. It looks as though I might have to step up the timetable for someone as worldly as yourself.


"But so far you have performed admirably," she praises you smoothly, "I only really have one remaining question as to the level of your loyalty. Unfortunately I am going to have to wait until the right moment presents itself to test you for it. But for now, you are free to do your own thing. If I need you, I'll make contact with you in the bar as usual. You will find a significant sum of money has been transferred into your account. Enjoy yourself <PN>."

"Help us out here!" yells the leader of the c-int team.


You are about to draw your blaster and lay down covering fire when the man being manhandled towards the door looks up and with a shock you recognize him as the elected Port Kane representative to the Federation Council.

"Please," he pleads between blows from his captors, "I was only trying to set up a meeting with rebel representatives so that they can present their side of the issue. The Bureau can't be allowed to kill freedom of speech as well."

"Shut up!" hisses one of the c-int soldiers, clubbing the politician with her blaster.

You realize that you must make your choice. Will you stay loyal to the Bureau even if it means violating one of the 'inalienable rights' of the Federation?
