A Trap for Ja'kell Closing Engagement The Alarri Transaction

Daily Mission Briefing


The signaling drones have alerted us to several potential matches to Ja'kell's ship. Its design was not as distinct as I thought, so there are many targets. The drones were able to give accurate predictions of their movements, but we need to act fast.


Mission Dialog:

Valtheken: The drones are unable to discern which ship belongs to Ja'kell, they are all too similar.
Care to explain, Valthken?

Valtheken: The AX9 is one of our most profitable ship designs. There are quite a few used by traders.
Why didn't you mention this before?

Valtheken: Mention what? You thought Ja'kell's ship was unique? Did you forget what kind of business we are in? You're supposed to be the experts here.
Trovar, is it too late to re-calibrate the drones?

Trovar: Yes, far too late, and we've already lost valuable time. At this point, I would recommend engaging the targets directly... while we are still able to track them.
We can't simply threaten or fire on random traders.

Trovar: We just need to scan for Ja'kell's bio-signature.
That should still require us to approach each ship up close.

Trovar: I don't see any other way.
Valthken, is there anything you can tell us about the AX9 that would help?

Valtheken: Scanning for a bio-signature will be difficult without the scrambling codes. Each ship has a unique set.
You must have some kind of override.

Valtheken: ...
Valthken, we're running out of time. Tell us.

Valtheken: Our clients would not be happy if they knew we had overrides to their cloaking systems...
He's slipping form our grasp as we speak. We need to move. Now.

Valtheken: Alright! I'm trusting you will just perform a bio-scan and nothing else.
We haven't lost sight of the goal here. We're only after Ja'kell.

Valtheken: The overrides were designed to be performed only through our planetary sensors, and you must do the same. It will help avoid suspicion if the scans are detected.
Understood.

Valtheken: We better find him soon. This entire mess is costing us a fortune.

End Transmission.
