If any of you guys have loyalty missions of your own ready to go and you are willing to help GM that arc, submit it and we'll add it to the list! I'll give you guys a couple of days to get any of those missions submitted in the OOC and then everyone vote for which mission you want to do next. A note for loyalty missions; try to keep them simple and streamlined if possible. We don't want every mission turning out being a several month affair.

My cousin was one of the people you saved from the Twin Star gang, and for that, I owe you a favour or two. If you find yourself in the capital when you drop off Kapan Nasa’dor, drinks are on me. To business. The pirates, slavers, and other organizations that hit Elysium were supplied from all sorts of groups with interest in destabilizing human colonies in the Traverse, and Elysium was something of a crown jewel that was just isolated enough that an Alliance response would be slow coming. The thing we didn’t get was how or where they were coming from with the sophistication of hardware and technology they employed; I don’t know if any of you were here for the Blitz, but when we were hit, it might as well have been a damned military invasion. I’ve served in the First Contact War, and I’ll be the first to tell you that there was a certain sense of déjà vu fighting the batarians. Military starships, fighters, dropships, and all manner of guns and supply drops were just as common as the common gang rabble of hastily converted civilian equipment, and when you think pirate, the last thing you think of is a fleet of cruisers capable of orbital bombardment. Sources indicate that several big players used Virmire as a sort of staging area and swap meet for various gangs and syndicates to sell and barter goods, a lot of it coming from the Terminus, although disturbingly there might be some corrupt participants from reputable positions in Council space that took part in selling weapons and ships to the invaders. Remember when I mentioned those cruisers? Those were turian made with a new coat of paint. Hard to mistake them for anything else after nearly getting killed by them on a daily basis on Shanxi. If you choose to respond to this contract, I’ll throw in a bonus; there’s a lot of equipment the invaders left behind. I’ll let you guys have a run in the yard and see if there’s not something that catches your eye.[/I] [color=f7941d][b] Assassinate Blue Suns Officer Location: Omega System, Omega Client: “Tessa”[/b][/color] [I]You would not believe the buzz around the station about the scandal of Nairyna T'Raza’s affiliation with the Twin Stars. That’s like finding out an esteemed Matriarch was consorting with a Maiden who’s only claim to fame is how well she works a pole… in both senses of the term. So a Blue Suns operative, and a rather important one at that, goes missing the same time one of Omega’s smallest and most pathetic groups is wiped off the map by a group that nobody knows. That is, mostly nobody. I have friends in high places, and they know who you are. By the way, pick a damn name already. If you want to be treated like professionals, it’s the least you can do. Even my niece has a name for her crescentberry stand and she’s seven years old. Point is, for as utterly unknown you all are and how much you reek of amateurs, I have a proposition or you. Want to get some fame and recognition as people who matter and the connections that go with it? Then I think I can help you. All you have to do is forcefully remove T’Raza’s boss, Lieutenant Pomverus Caspian, from his miserable life, preferably in a manner that doesn’t implicate anyone. Bonus points if it looks like an accident or a very professional assassination job. Do this dirty little deed and I’ll make sure the right people notice you. The pay’s not bad, either.[/I] [b] [color=f7941d]Loyalty Mission: Tanya Carson Location: Terra Nova, Asgard System[/color][/b] [color=cyan][I]I’m not one to ask for big favours, but this one’s huge and kind of out of the way. Some of you guys know my basic family history, including that my dad was killed in the First Contact War. I recently came across an article on the extranet saying that in three weeks, they’re going to be putting up a memorial for Terra Nova’s casualties in the First Contact War. I need to be there for the ceremony, I don’t care about the particulars around how we do that, but this matters a lot to me. If we can start looking for contracts around the system so it’s not such a huge detour, all the better, or you guys can drop me off along the way to doing another job, but either way it would mean everything to me if we could make arrangements. Let me know what you all decide in case I need to make arrangements. I’ll collectively owe you all a favour if you do this for me. Thanks. -T[/I][/color] IN OTHER NEWS, THE TEAM NAME HAS BEEN SELECTED BY THE DICE GODS.
