As the ship returns to normal space, the S.S. Monte Hue
winds up only seconds away from entering the normal flow of
traffic in amongst the shipping lane. As it merges into the
regular flow, you, the other two weapon officers, and the
scanning officer begin to search for any unusual activity.
Seconds later, you have a confirmed pirate sweeping the traffic
searching for loot. You begin to open fire as soon as you have a
confirmed lock so as not to hit other innocent vessels in the
shipping lane. Although a tough assignment, it sure makes a
refreshing change from the usual routine that you have had to
endure in the last few months of service for PSI 5.
As the mission progresses, the amount of pirate activity
present become all too clear. They are literally littering up the
place. But their greed tends to get the best of them, trying to
score yet another hit off of your cargo holds. Now, if only all
those other ships would just try and get out of the way.
The mission comes to an end just as quickly as it began,
with a transmission from your old ship.
They're calling in to report that they are ready to begin their
sweep of the shipping lane. Next, as the ship pulls out of the
channel and heads for the nearest Gravitron Ring, the captain
activates the internal communication system and lets the crew in
on the fact that the cargo was just a lure for the pirates to
scan for. And then, as the scene begins to fade out, you see the
Gravity Ring shoot the S.S. Monte Hue back into the light tunnel.
