Reliable target. New mission from the mysterious scientist
- Come in, can you hear me?
- The connection is stable, I don’t observe interruptions, the channel is encrypted, our conversation is confidential, everything is as always.
- You know, up to this point I haven’t had a chance to communicate with representatives of shadow structures doing dirty work.
- Ahem. I’m flattered, of course, but let’s get straight to the point, shall we?
- Yes, please excuse me, I’m just a scientist, and talking like that feels a little alien to me, you know...
- Let me guess. Do you need to eliminate someone? Or to rob somebody? Or maybe set up a fraudulent scheme? I can arrange anything, as long as the prepayment is one hundred percent, of course.
- No, no, of course not! No one needs to be eliminated. I’m here for something else. I’m... I’m here for reliability!
- Reliability? I know something about reliability, yes... I do everything quickly, efficiently and reliably! But what exactly are you interested in?
- I need a pilot to do a certain job... I need a responsible pilot, a doer! Naturally, I will cover all the expenses. You do work with pilots, don’t you?
- Look, I can give you at least a hundred pilots! What do you want exactly?
- No, you didn’t understand... I need just one. I have a job for someone who will unquestionably follow our... My... Plan! It’s just that something needs to be... Taken? Yes, taken and then delivered to me... At the same time, it’s important that a person fully completes the task, and keeps all the information received in secret! I will pay generously... Do you have such a pilot? Surely... Surely someone has distinguished themselves during your extensive experience.
- Actually... There is one, but his services are quite expensive. He will charge you for each flight he will take.
- That’s wonderful! Delightful! You can give me his contact info, I will get in touch with him myself.
- Of course. I assume that was all I had to do?
- Actually, yes.
- Can I get the employer’s name?
- Yes, my name is La...Ahh… Is this a mandatory procedure in your line of work?
- No, everything is optional, but it will be more likely that the contact I have given will get in touch with you.
- I would still prefer not to reveal my name. You can say that I am a scientist... After all, you are an intermediary, which means that it is up to you.
- As you wish, I have sent the invoice for payment.
A moment later. A closed communication channel between the Scientist and an unknown pilot, whose contact info was provided by an intermediary.
- Greetings, my friend! I’m very glad that you agreed. Yes, I know that you have an unspoken rule — to maintain silence during work in order to protect yourself. However, let me bring you up to date. I am a representative of the Ellydium corporation, a scientist, like most people there. Throughout the foreseeable and living world, I have searched for someone like you. The one who is ready to bear the burden of our great path, to lead us to a great goal... Anyway, let’s get down to business. I investigated the behavior of aliens before and during the war. Now is a period of calm, and their sudden disappearance from our sectors is still a mystery to me... Our mutual task is to solve it...
Based on the data received during the alien retreat, they didn’t attack sectors randomly, they moved according to a specific plan. They weren’t just capturing sectors, they were looking for something! There is a possibility that they never succeeded. You should check the sector where the aliens have shown the highest activity.
Communication was interrupted, and the next second a new contract became available on the pilot’s dashboard.
Pilots, we recommend checking your contract list! Perhaps an unknown scientist has reached out to you! Explore space with him and solve all the mysteries of the universe! Study the material you receive from the scientist carefully! Every clue counts in the search for answers!
