|---|
During the Bureau main story, you lead a Federation task force to distract the Moash army so that their leaders can be captured on their home planet. You complete negotiations to vassalize the Moash House as a subject of the Bureau and carry messages detailing a plot to eliminate the other Auroran families. You're reassigned to uncover the Rebels plot: they're meeting with the Federation president. In retaliation, you lead a Federation task force to destroy the Rebels base.

"In a split second you make the decision to stay with the Bureau and you pull out your blaster and start firing into the back of the now smoke-filled room in order to allow the c-int team to get out."
| Briefing |

| From there two members of the team take charge of dragging the now unconscious councilor along while the rest of you lay down fire on anyone emerging from the bar.
As you work the leader of the c-int team comes forward to thank you for your help, "It was pretty hairy out there," she grins. "The intel we got about how popular that guy was with his people was a little inaccurate." That comment makes you wonder if Krane had these guys deliberately duped in order to make you take a hand directly. 'Oh well,' you think, 'that's one way of making someone prove themselves.' |

"It might be a while before I need you for anything worthy of your talents," she muses, "I don't want to start sending you off on stupid little assignments that can be handled by c-int teams, your efforts on the Federation front-line proved that you are worth more than that. In the meantime you are being given the naval rank of commander, which is the rank given to all Bureau field operatives that might have to deal with the Federation military. It means you get a meager salary, you get a discount when purchasing our goods and you don't have to buy licenses to get most things. The only licenses you are still required to purchase are the 'fighter bay license' and the 'capital warships license'.

"You are greeted by two rather famous figures. You recognize the two men as being Mr Donald Chick, the former CEO of Sigma Shipyards, and General Cade 'Sundown' Smart, who was a former Head of the Federation Armed Forces."

| "We wanted to thank you for your efforts on such short notice," says Mr Chick by way of greeting. "We are a little thin on the ground just at the moment, and your arrival has allowed us to carry out this operation without stretching our resources any further than they already are."
"And thanks again for your help," says Mr Chick before they both take their leave. |

"After completing your post-flight routine you head out of your ship wondering how this Dorraj Rainsford will make contact with you."
| Dropping Cargo |

| Your questions are soon answered when you hear a discreet cough as you step off your ship. You turn to see a casually dressed man with long black hair, sprinkled with gray, and a moustache. He unsurprisingly introduces himself as Dorraj and asks if you have a package for him.
You are slightly stunned to find out that underneath his wig, moustache and some other subtle touches of makeup you recognize him. He is the President of the Federation, Mr. P. Milamber. |

""Everything seems to be in order," notes 'Dorraj' after making a quick inspection of the contents of the message pod, "but I will require a little time to examine this in greater detail."
| Completion |

| Meet me in the bar in three hours and I shall have a reply for you."
With a final chuckle you head off to the bar to await Mr. Milamber's reply to the Rebel message. |

|---|
| You wonder what would drive a Federation President to take the enormous risk of contacting the Rebels. You mentally shrug, thinking that it will prove irrelevant once you make your report to Krane.
You take the pod off him and nod, noticing the quality job done on his disguise. Without the small mistake with the color differences of the wig and the mustache, you probably would not have picked it. He thanks you and walks out of the bar leaving you thinking. |
"On the way back to your beloved '<PSN>' you continue thinking about the situation of the Federation President."
| Briefing |
|---|
| You realize that if you were in his situation you would do the same thing. After all, even though he is nominally in charge of the Federation, in reality now that the Bureau has taken over, he is little more than a figurehead for the masses to focus on. You would feel sorry for him, but he is hampering Bureau plans to make all of humanity unite under one government, and so he must be taken care of.

""Thank you," he continues gratefully. "I cannot tell you how important this mission is to us. If this goes right, it may very well spell the end of the Bureau.""
| Briefing |
|---|
| Your ears pick up a little when you hear that. You decide that this information is something you will have to pass on to Krane at the earliest opportunity.
You nod and your excitement grows as you realize that the rebels have set a date when they will be meeting with the President. You decide that once you have delivered the message you will report to Krane immediately to pass on the information. It could spell the end of the Rebellion and allow the Bureau to gain control of the President. "Well good luck," Daniels continues, clapping you on the shoulder, "and once again thank you." |

| "You're back!" she smiles happily. "You had been out so long that I was starting to get a little worried about you. What news from the Rebels?"
"Good work!" she exclaims before turning her big blue eyes on you and asking meaningfully: "So you know where at least one of the Rebel bases is?" You nod and she begins typing away at her console. After a few moments she indicates that you should stay put before leaving the room for a few minutes. |
"After leaving you twiddling your thumbs for a while, Commander Krane re-enters and sits back down behind her desk."
| Briefing |
|---|
| "I want you to go to the Rebel base in the Koria system, land and activate a homing beacon when you get there," she informs you brusquely. "I will have a Carrier Group follow you, and several task forces waiting in nearby systems. I have heard through other sources that the Rebel leaders will be going somewhere in the next few weeks, and I believe that they will be attending this meeting you warned us about. So while the Rebels are without leadership I want to do as much damage as I can to their cause. I want you to completely destroy one of their bases, and I will be trying to capture the Rebel leaders when they land on Earth. While you're there, make sure that you destroy every rebel ship you can. The weaker they are, the better.

"We have found some intel on the whereabouts of the rebel headquarters," he informs you, wiping the sweat off his brow. "We will be finished here in a few more hours and then we will be passing that information on to the other naval forces in the area while we escort you back. "Here is a data crystal containing the location of the base in question," he explains tiredly. "If you could pass it on to your superior as soon as possible, so that the Bureau gets the information as quickly as possible." You nod, and make your way back to your ship to start your long flight back to New England. |

You hand over the data crystal and, somewhat distractedly, give a quick summary of events from your mission. "You will be happy to know that the Rebel leaders have been taken into custody," Daniels informs you quietly. "As of now, the rebellion is destroyed." Krane recognizes the confused expression on your face. "Do you remember that the former head of Federation Intel, a man code-named Frandall, was the head of the rebel intelligence network?" she asks, and you nod. "Well, let me introduce Frandall, the head of the Bureau." |
""I've heard a lot about you," Frandall says as he rises to shake your hand. "I hear you have been invaluable in helping along the Auroran operation."

| "Don't look so surprised," he continues as you look on stunned. "Early on we knew that we would not be able to keep our activities secret from certain people. So I decided that I would start a rebel movement to root out all the malcontents. The end result was the rebellion, and given their limited resources, they were never going to get very far. So we merely waited for our time to strike.
"By the way," Commander Krane informs you, "we authorized access to all but the absolute highest level of Federation technology. What you have access to now is all expensive, but if you have the money, it is all worth it." |
