[hider=Iorus II Mission] [i] IORUS II Desert planet. Little water. Few settlements on the ground are centered around large oases or aquifers. Main colony is Intrepid, at the north pole, with mining colonies scattered around—under the planets surface are vast cave networks, rich with valuable metals. Some evidence of a subterranean species has been found, but as there is no conclusive evidence, species is assumed to be extinct. ASSIGNMENT Visit the mining colony of Haven, near the equator, and meet with Foreman Bryce. Pick up the scheduled package of metals and deliver to Station Yankee III in the Yukon system. (Addendum: Try not to start any bar fights this time. Lieutenant Rama, miners are friends, not food. -Admiral Roth) [/i] [/hider] "Should be a simple pickup," she said cheerfully. "Down to the mining colony, grab the goods, pass 'em over to some station a few star systems away, then piss off again. Captain ain't here, so it'll be a breeze as long as we stick to the story—Ray's off on some diplomatic shindig with Union officers, classified, blah blah blah. Questions?"
