"As you sit, drink in hand, wondering what it is about McGowan that bothers you, an expectant hush falls over the bar and you look around to see McGowan, and a number of his bully-boys, have walked into the bar. Noting you sitting near the rear, they make their way over."

Offer

As soon as McGowan sits down, his bully-boys set upon you. You desperately try to defend yourself, but there are simply too many of them for you to do anything effective. Possibly only two or three minutes later, the beating abates and one of the thugs lifts you off the floor to face McGowan. "I have decided not to accept Mr. Flannigan's proposal," he says, unperturbed by your condition. "Please be so kind as to pass on to him my irritation at his paltry offer. As for you, I am warning you never to return to this place whilst I am alive. I don't know what it is, but there is something offensive about you, and I will not tolerate your presence any more than I have to." With that, he gets up and starts walking out of the bar. The man holding you up drops you to the ground and you remain there, unmoving for some time before levering yourself up. Not a single person in the bar makes eye contact with you as you leave this establishment.

"When you land you are met by Flannigan, Tara Collins and the brothers Sean and Ryan O'Driscol. You shake your head at their implied question."

Dropping Cargo

After wordlessly gripping each other's arms in greeting, Tara, Sean and Ryan head off to their ships with grim faces. You cannot help but wonder why Michaleen is not present, and you raise your eyebrows in anxious curiosity. Flannigan shakes his head. "We are in something of a fix," he begins quietly, and you chuckle at his understatement. "The Bureau hit us hard while we were concentrating on McGowan and his damn 'guild of free traders'. We all barely escaped alive, and the fault is partly mine. I knew that McGowan had an agreement with the Bureau, but I didn't know they were quite this cozy. I don't have a lot of time to explain all the ins and outs of the situation, but the end result is that I'm going to declare war on both McGowan's so-called 'guild' and on that damned Bureau. Unfortunately for us, we have absolutely no way of winning on our own. "Michaleen personally kept the Bureau's thugs bottled up in one corner of the space port for the better part of ten minutes," Flannigan says proudly, with tears in his eyes, "so that we could get everybody away. He died well and hard."

"You close your eyes in remembrance of a man with the quick wit and even quicker smile who greeted you as a brother."

Completion

After a moment of gut-wrenching reverie, you open your eyes, ready to do whatever has to be done to avenge all that has been done to the Wild Geese and the people they protect. Flannigan draws you away from the crowds in the spaceport. "That's why I'm glad you returned as quickly as you did," he explains, nodding in appreciation. "Meet me in the bar in one hour, and I shall have something for you."

"As you sit waiting, drink in hand, tears come to your eyes more than once as you think of the times you and Michaleen had together."

Offer

The other patrons see your obvious distress and give you a respectful space in which to grieve. Eventually Flannigan walks in and makes his way over. "I too will miss the boy," he says in his deep voice. "He was foolhardy and inclined to let his mouth talk without engaging his brain, but there were none finer to have at your back in battle." He looks directly at you for a moment and you share a moment of silence for your friend. Finally Flannigan shakes himself, and adopts a more business-like manner. "You," he says, tapping you on the shoulder for emphasis, "have more experience with dealing with people outside the Wild Geese than anyone here bar myself. And because I have a few other things I need to be taking care of, once again you'll be our representative. "I have a contact inside the Rebellion," he informs you quietly, "and I need you to go and talk to him to find out more about McGowan's movements. What do you say?"

Refusal

Refusal
"I understand," Flannigan nods quietly. "After what McGowan did to you, nobody would want to represent us on a diplomatic mission again. I wish you well <PN>."

Briefing

""Okay then," Eamon begins tersely. "I want you head to up to the station 'Rebel II' in the Koria system and meet with a guy who I know as Geoff Daniels."

Briefing

All I really know is that he is a spook that is fairly high up in the rebel intelligence network, and I very much doubt that his real name is anything resembling Geoff. "Regardless," he shrugs diffidently, "he seems to be a decent person, and if we ask him to help us out by pointing us in the direction of someone who may be able to help us in finding out more about McGowan and his pirate 'guild' I'm fairly sure he will help us. "Once you have found out what you need to know," Flannigan finishes seriously, "either return here or follow up on whatever leads you are given. I'll leave it up to you." With that he claps you on the shoulder and heads off out of the establishment. You cannot feel as though it may be a fair while before you see him again...

"Eamon sent word that you were coming," he begins pleasantly, "what can we do for you in your time of need?" You begin relating the recent history of the Wild Geese and their operations against McGowan and his 'guild', but Geoff holds up his hand and interrupts you. "I am a member of Rebel Intelligence," he remarks with quiet humor, "I am pretty much up to date on recent galactic events. I know of your situation and I am also fairly well aware of how you got there. What I don't know is what you want." You have the good grace to blush, and you take a moment to compose yourself before asking him if he has any leads that you might follow to learn more about McGowan and his pirates so as to avenge some of the wrongs done against the Wild Geese and the people of New Ireland. You add that you do not expect him to give away anything that might jeopardize the security of his network, but even the smallest hint would be appreciated. He looks at you blandly for a moment, before nodding his head slowly.

""We have a number of sources amongst the Associated Guild of Free Traders," he informs you, "but, in the interests of our security I don't think I can tell you any more than that.""

At hearing this your heart sinks. "However," he says more positively, and you lean forward expectantly, "if I were you, I would be looking for a man who runs an illegal ship outfitting operation on Viking in the Tichel system. I have a feeling he may be exactly what you are looking for..." With that 'Geoff' turns on his heel and walks away. For a moment you cannot help but feel that maybe he is talking about your Uncle Olaf whom you haven't seen for a few years now...
