You are now being formally called upon by the United Federation of Earth Scout Services to serve your government. \_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_ 1. **Mission** information as written by his lordship. 1. Eight months ago, twp members of the crew for the scout ship titled “*Perfect Stranger*” returned to the United Federation of Earth. 1. The Lord Weib was sent the bodies from a transport on the far side of the *great rift*. 2. The bodies were sent in cryostasis pods. 3. The bodies had laser wounds as the reported cause of death. 2. The *Perfect Strange* was sent into a sector of the *great rift*, within the *Suki Corridor*. Specifically the *Islands Subsectors.* On a scout mission to retrieve data on the current situation. 1. The Suki Corridor is one of the few uncontested areas of space inside the *Berlinnic* galaxy. Formally ruled by the Deutschland. But their rule is contested by the Germushian empire, as well as the Polanskia communal government.. It separates the colonies of the old galaxies from the aforementioned empires. 2. The Islands subsector was part of the earliest colonization efforts of the Berlinnic galaxy. Before the advent of hyperspace or the common use the jump drive. This has led for the last several hundred years for the Islands to be cut off from the galaxy, undisturbed. The great war dragged them into the modern day when a Versian cruiser appeared in orbit above one of the planets. 3. After the great war, to solve the balance of power this sublight focused sub sector faced, the United Federation of Earth distributed a simple ftl drive to all the colonies. 4. This has lead to a rise in various factions in the sub sectors as well as a birth of new colonies. There is a fear within The United Federation of Earth that these factions could have ties to outside powers. 5. The Islands sub sector has become an essential trade and communication route to keep allies alive, whoever controls it would have a strong upper hand in control of the Berlinnic galaxy. 3. What has become of the perfect stranger is unknown. 1. We believe they got as far as Amondiage and then encountered trouble. 2. You are being tasked with retrieving the ship and bringing it back to a UFE Representative onboard the starship: “UFE BER-18923 Argonaut” in the Zuflucht system. Whereupon the information stored in its databanks will be transferred to the Argonaut upon which the ship will be sent back to the islands for a new mission. 3. The fate of the crew and rendering assistance to them is not a primary objective and may not be permitted to compromise the primary objective (see section ii) 4. At a minimum, the data from the data core must be brought back to the Argonaut even if the ship is destroyed. 5. Upon delivery you will receive Cr250,000. 6. This is a success only contract, and non-optional. 4. If you can not afford or do not wish to have your own accommodations to arrive on Amondiage by 13/11/83389 you will be supplied with free low berth passage as well as accommodations for 10Kg of cargo if need be. 1. You will be given the relevant paperwork to take legal ownership of the *perfect stranger* 2. Your passcode to access the perfect stranger computer system is: 756:784:885 and can be uploaded into any of the ships computers to take control of the vessel. 3. You are being given Cr10,000 for expenses as you see fit. 4. As well you are being given a credit account with the First Imperial Bank of Amondiage that is given Cr10,000 each month for necessities for the mission. If it is believed you are abusing this account for personal expenses access will be revoked without consent or informing you. 5. *Perfect Stranger* 1. *Perfect Stranger* began life as an ordinary Type-R subsidised merchant by the Central Supply Traders of Wajoka. Designed with a Jump-1 FTL drive and four weeks of operational fuel in her tankage. Or a starfaring removal van. 2. The Type-R is a very common space trader in UFE territory, with its primary features being its huge two deck high vargo area with fore, aft and side doors, making it easy to load and unload cargo. 3. *Perfect Strangers* paint scheme is predominantly an unattractive dark brownish-red with scrapes exposing bare hull metal. Digs and dents adorn her and has clearly been through some years of travel. 4. However these are only on the outside, as *Perfect Stranger* has taken on some modifications. Reducing its capacity to 188 tons. But altering her abilities in a variety of ways. Access to the cargo area is no longer possible through the aft doors though a small hatch has been added. Though from the outside it looks as though the original doors are intact. 5. A systems room has been added with a small auxiliary power plant, (TL12 massing 3 tons and generating 45 power.) With her main power and auxiliary units online she has 180 power points for use. Giving her more than enough to run all her systems. Including her jump drive with spare for emergencies. 6. There are two control stations for pop up triple turrets mounted on retrofitted hardpoints, concealed by the fake aft cargo door, and can be rapidly deployed if need be. 7. The systems room also contains a large hardened data bank and intelligence work area consisting of two computer workstations, an advanced interactive holographic display, and cup holders. As well as a very, very, very, high quality coffee maker. (On behest of his majesty himself) 8. The perfect stranger has also been retrofitted to be able to switch between extra cargo or fuel if need be. Simply flush the cargo bay of liquid hydrogen and load them with cargo as needed. 9. Each fuel container contains the fuel needed to execute one Jump-1. This allows *Perfect Stranger* to jump up to 5 parsecs. Slowly but surely it can be done. 10. *Perfect Stranger* has operated under the backstory of being a simple merchant from the UFE in the isles to sell various goods and act as a free trader. Even with its modifications it is easy to maintain this story. \_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_ The United Federation of Earth Thanks you for your service; Long Live the D.A.M.
