The S/D Agency Files

Updates

Having re-appraised our intelligence reports, we will begin staging some forward operations in Omicron Delta. For now, we can acquire fuel and supplies through the Freeport located there. Agents are advised to avoid exchanging gunfire with anyone near the station. Actually, best avoid running into anyone you don't make sure you kill afterwards.

A new hunter joins the ranks. Samuel Phoenix. He has an admirable talent for assassination. Some of you might learn from him.

Especially those of you who have been running escort missions. I've had complaints from several captains of trade vessels who are appalled at the standard of service we provide.

Marketing our brand takes a lot of time, and the last thing I want is for a numbskull who couldn't dodge a missile fired by a blind pensioner earning us a reputation as eye-candy.

Escort means just that. Make sure your client gets to his or her destination. You meet a criminal gang intent on shooting you up or ripping you off, hit your thrusters, run interference, do anything it takes. Just make sure the client is safe and you live to tell the tale.

Agent Page, the Thalan will need a complete re-fit. Report to the workshop on Sheffield. I recommend a few sessions in the Sheffield Firing Range. The new Gunboat Assault 101 training programme is worth trying.

Special Agent Mako. Proceed as you see fit. Bear in mind, however, that the Order is a terrorist group possibly contaminated by alien infestations, and they will, most likely, use you for some vile vivisection experiment involving cold and unlubricated probe devices if they catch you. For your intel gathering missions, ensure you mount the new version Discovery scanner. It has extended scanning capabilities. Operate above the plane - 15 to 20k if you can.

We are mounting an auto-destruct to your ship should the need arise to ensure that it doesn't fall into the wrong hands. The activation codes are in your file. The new model of escape pod we're supplying you with is fitted with transmitters that can reach HQ in 56, so if you do get in trouble we'll find you.

Work on a cloaking device for your ship is ongoing. The prototype is a little tricky. We "cloaked" a lab-worker so well last night that he appears to have vanished completely, leaving only a powdery, white substance behind. One of the techs commented that it reminded him of cocaine.

It had no hallucinogenic properties when ingested.

You look a little woozy. Eat something funny? I suspect you are a little dehydrated.

Bob,

Thanks for fitting that remote-detonated explosive implant in Mako's head last night. He hasn't a clue. If he does get captured, I just hit the red button, right? Any way we can have this installed as standard on all operatives? How's the wife?

George
