You head to the side of the walkway, stepping out of the throng of people walking back and forth, and quickly patch the message through. A hologram of Techerakh springs from the tiny projector, and Techerakh quickly tells you that the Council has need of your presence immediately. You rush to the Great Hall.

I need you to head out to Moash. There is a Heraan undercover man I want you to collect. He should have more information, but doesn't trust it to sub-space transmission. It must be something very important to warrant such action, so be on your guard."

He scrutinizes you before asking if you had any news of Thurmbiir Flaming Wings. This is an older code for Heraan contacts, and at first you balk. After a few uncertain moments, you reply that Thurmbiir is well. He smiles. As he reaches out a hand in friendship, you sense all is not right. You disable him and drag him into a nearby alleyway.
A short time later you have all the information that you need. The Heraan spy has been discovered, and is currently being held under house arrest, awaiting a Moash Interrogation Squad. At the house, you cruise past the two guards. As soon as their eyes leave you, you spin, and with one blast end both their lives. Using one of the guards' fingers to open the door, you dive through, cutting short the military careers of another two men before finding the spy. The man is in bad shape, but he is Heraan. He will live. You cut his bonds and hoist him over your shoulder. As you bolt to your ship, klaxons and alarms are sounding, and you know that you are going to face some determined enemies as you leave. Leaping to the controls, you simply hit the bricks, praying that you will break out and get back on your way to Heraan before too many get on your tail... |

They take over the care of the spy, who is starting to look better since Moash warriors stopped trying to bludgeon his skull with their bare hands. He waves his thanks as they walk him away on a grav-stretcher. You wave back, before heading for debriefing. |
"Techerakh waves you to a seat, and tells you that he is glad that you went to such extremes to save the spy's life."
Completion |

Apparently the information in the man's initial report was enough for the War Council to place a number of other operatives on the task of keeping tabs on crucial Moash shipping, and more cryptically, on some specific Federation ships. Techerakh instructs you to meet him in the bar later, where he will expand on the story.
"It's not that I don't want to tell you," he smiles "but more that I might be sending you on another mission almost immediately, so don't drink too much." |

"Little Wolf," he is almost beside himself with excitement "We have the Moash now. Our spy on Moash uncovered a conspiracy. The Moash were going to allow Federation Fleets safe passage across the Auroran border to attack the Tekel and Dani Houses. This is HUGE. It would be enough to turn the Dani and Tekel Houses against the Moash, but coming from us, neither House would believe it. So it falls to us to stop the threat.
"Of course, the Moash fleets will be nothing but an expanding debris field, and we will be waiting for the Federation. The Federation will be vulnerable, and not expecting attack. We will clean their clocks. Unfortunately, for this to happen, I need you to go and steal something from the Federation. Are you keen?" |
""The Federation have a research facility on Menin. It deals with the research and development of coding and decoding arrays, and for the specific development of jamming technology."
Briefing |
---|
It is called Project Worldeater. We need you to go to this station, and break in to the research facility.
"They will make you a multi-key pass, which will crack the lockout on the doors in the facility. The amount of power that will be required to do this is immense, so use it sparingly. You will also have a special make-up to cover your tattoos. Most of our operatives inside the Federation use it. It will mean a {G "haircut and a shave" "new haircut-and-style"}, but I'm sure you can live with that. "Ours techs will give you a schematic of what the devices will look like, but just to be sure, take a quantum solid copy of their files. Then get out quick. Once you are in the clear, send word and a fleet will jump in and destroy the station. They will be travelling incognito using stolen ships, mostly pirate modified Valkyries. Sounds simple, huh?" |

"In the early hours of the morning you quickly make your way to the R&D area of the station."

You expect the Federation Security Forces to descend on you at any minute, but the Techs have done an amazing job at forging your pass-card and identification and so far you have been cleared through each checkpoint with a cursory glance.
You are shortly in the main lab and examining the arrays before you. Each one is in a different stage of completion. Grabbing the one closest to complete, you then find the jamming device closest to the schematic you memorized. You conceal both in the satchel that the Heraan Techs gave you. It is a shroud bag, designed to allow the true contents of a bag to be concealed under sensor scan, instead displaying innocuous items. This is the first field trial, and you pray that it works. You copy the researchers' files to Quantum Solid Crystal, and head for the door. The trip back to your ship is stressful, but ultimately uneventful, and for once it seems, everything has gone off without a hitch. |

They quickly ask if you have had a chance to look at the various inventions, and if you have any ideas or thoughts on them. You tell them that they will have to wait for you to report, but that you would be glad to help them perfect their designs at a later stage. One of the techs suggests that you discuss it over a couple of drinks in the bar, and you readily agree. You head off for debriefing. |
"Techerakh is delighted, and the head of Heraan Research and Development sends his personal thanks."

It seems that the copy you took of the Federation files also contained the theories of various new encryption techniques.
Techerakh has received word that the Federation have sifted through the wreckage of Menin and are thought to be unaware of the theft ever taking place. "All in all," he says, "The plan is coming together nicely. I'd hate to be the Moash in a few days time." You both chuckle and head for the bar. |

"Tomorrow our fleets will head out in secret to attack the Moash. Ordinarily, I would lead one fleet and Kuron the other. Since so much has gone into the preparation for this attack, and the opportunity is so great to deal a mortal blow to the Federation, Kuron wants to keep an eye on both fleets. Subsequently, we are one commander short. Or we were, up until I gave you command of the other fleet."

No transmission from Heraan were able to get through to you, and you have a suspicion that the regular reports you sent back did not get through either.
All you have to do now is wait for the word to send the coded signals to the Federation fleet. The IFF Projector, or the 'Liar Box', as it has become known, has been tested in ship to ship transmissions, but you hope that it works over long distances. It should enable you to lure the Federation to the trap. The Transmission Jammer will deny them the ability to call for help, and they will die in their thousands. It will be a great day for the Heraan. |
