He looks up as your shadow falls across his table. "What can I do for you?" he asks politely. You explain your situation, saying that you were directed here to do something useful for the Rebellion that doesn't require you to have an enormous security clearance. He looks at you and runs his hand through his graying hair. "Well, we could use some help getting foodstuffs onto the planet," he muses. He goes on to explain, "The Bureau is trying to starve us out of the Federation, and people's belts are starting to look a little tighter. "You willing to become a freight courier?"

Briefing

""All right then," he says squaring his shoulders, "if you could go to Las Vegas in the Vega system and pick up 10 tons of Food and bring it back here, it would be much appreciated."

Briefing

Ask for Jay when you return, and I'll make sure it gets distributed to the right people. "When you're on Las Vegas," Jay continues, "make sure you get your produce from a guy named Burton. He's willing to sell his food to people he hasn't seen before so he's your man." You thank him sincerely but he merely eyes you askance, leaving you wondering what you did wrong. He must have read your face because he goes on to say, "Next time," he warns picking up his drink, "don't bring everyday business to the bar. I like my time off." You nod your head and start heading back to your beloved <PSN> leaving Jay to savor the rest of his drink in peace.

"Of course, we live in times when trust is at a minimum, and if you want to become involved in the more exciting missions, then you have to prove yourself worthy by doing plenty of the tedious, lower risk runs. "To get you started," he goes on, "I'm going to make these food drops a regular occurrence, and each one you do will go a little way to proving yourself to the Rebel High Muck-Mucks."

You turn towards the voice and see Jay the dockmaster sitting enjoying a drink. He kicks out a chair at his table and indicates that you should join him with a grin. "I've been told to move you up the chain," he begins smiling, "but don't get carried away," he cautions, "it is only a small step up from food drops to equipment drops. What it does mean is that some of the head sheds have noticed you. If you keep this up, before long you will be up there with the best of them." Jay leans forward resting his heavily muscled arms on the table as he asks more seriously, "...that is, if you're still interested?"

""Well, it's pretty simple really," Jay continues expansively. "No different to what you are doing now, except that the Bureau now reckons that what you will be smuggling is worse than what you were smuggling before."

"All we want you to do is to go to Menin in the Lesten system," he indicates with a casual wave of his arm, "get 15 tons of Equipment and bring it back here." Jay leans forward again.

You sit down and he grins at you. "If you were going to start betraying the Rebellion," he says in jest, "now would be the time you could start." You look at him wondering exactly what he meant by that. "The head-sheds have decided to move you up a little further," he continues quietly, "they want you to go and pick up a Rebel Informant who believes that she has been compromised. Are you in, or do you need a little more time to prepare?"

""In reality this mission is fairly simple," Jay continues quietly, "not too different from the cargo missions you have been doing, except that you will be picking up a passenger rather than freight."

"The lady in question, whose name is Anna, lives on <DST> in the <DSY> system," he tells you seriously. "Make sure you aren't spotted on the way out as the Bureau would really like it if they stumbled onto a Rebel extraction." Jay leans forward to emphasize his next point, "The Rebellion prides itself on looking after its people when it can. You are now an integral part of that idea. Our leaders have made a vow to extract any agent in trouble if it is possible without further compromising security. It is one of the things that allows the Rebellion to employ so many people, otherwise many would simply not pluck up the courage to join, and we would be struggling even more than we are." "I leave it in your capable hands," he leans back confidently. "Good luck, Captain <PN>."

You do not have to wait long; within ten minutes a plump looking middle-aged matron walks up and introduces herself as Anna.

"Over the course of your journey, you learn that Anna is really only an informant. She only relays information regarding Federation and Bureau activities on to other members of her cell-network."

Dropping Cargo

You are a little impressed at the way the Rebels have set up their informants. If any one person was 'turned', they could only ever incriminate a maximum of three others, and even then, unless they acted within two days, they could not even do that. Anna thanks you for helping her out as she leaves and you watch her walking away. You realize that you never did find out the story behind her removal, but then you doubt that she would have told you. She didn't seem like the blabbing type. You look over to see the muscular figure of Jay walking towards you. "You did good out there," he states seriously. "Come to my office, I have someone I want you to meet."

"You walk in to see a vaguely familiar figure with short hair and a military bearing."

Completion

"Allow me to introduce myself," the man says easily, reaching forward to shake your hand. "My name is Cade Smart, retired General." You realize that you are talking to one of the founding members of the Rebellion. You remember vaguely that General Cade 'Sundown' Smart, as he was called, took command of the Federation's forces when the Aurorans had wiped out whole fleets of the Federation Navy under the incompetent command of his predecessor. His brilliance kept the Federation alive at a time when its destruction looked a virtual certainty. "I want you to know that we have been following your career carefully," General Smart continues, "and I wanted to pass on my appreciation for what you are doing. We are truly grateful for your efforts. "Jay tells me that he is going to make similar missions available to you through the mission BBS, and I can think of no-one better for the job. Thank you, Captain <PN>."

Now we must start using your position to best advantage. "From here on in," she states, "I want you to bring any rebels you pick up here and we will do a quick body switch, so that we can start planting a few agents in amongst their network.

He looks up and in clipped tones says, "Commander Krane wants you to continue as planned with your infiltration and await the usual 'Prodigal Son' signal before returning here." With that, he closes the message pod and returns to looking around ignoring you. Obviously, as far as he is concerned this conversation is over.

"As you head back to your ship you cannot help but grin."
