After a bit of walking around, hiding your privates in the mens room, and finallly cutting some red tape at the office you've finally got your ID card and all the kinda stuff, suit, rifles, etc.
A man with a wavy mustache walks up to you, with a slight hint of smugness, he says, "Well hello there! Nice to meet you. Your on the frontier here, brother. It's 2264, and we, humanity, have ourselves starships capable of travelling a light year in a month. Crazy, huh? Well anywho, we're in the Rigel system on this lil' piece o' heaven asteroid medbase. Oh, by the way, that cryo-tank process in there? State-o'-the-art. Nowhere else in the Quadrant. Anyhow, we need you to lead a squadron of 4 gunships, excluding yours, on a bombing run of the Tartarus Colonial Space Station, in the.. Tartarus system! 'Bout 6 light years from here, 'ye know. Take 'ye a half-year, it will. You'll awake in 'yer stasis pod and drive off to Tartarus IV, where you'll take a big.. Oh.. waht's the word? Dump? On Tartarus's rebels. Anywho, off ye go!
And with that, he shoves you through the airlock. Pushing the button behind you, he grins and says, toothily, "Goodbye!" and the bay door closes, your locked on your ship.
A redshirt comes up to you.
"Hello sir, we're at
Rigel Colonial Space Station in orbit of
Rigel III in the
Rigel system!"
You nod and head up to the bridge, where you see that is confirmed. You get a listing of the other planets...
Nothing. Guess this one is the only ball of rock in the whole system, huh?
