<D><f s="2">dmills=niacdispatch</f><s><p>We've got an emergency PR mission straight from our VP Marketing. One of <I x="64" y="64" f="ltmills" a="l">our mining asteroids went missing from a Jupiter orbit three days ago. Unfortunately it was part of our unofficial security grid and it has a five hundred ton linear accelerator in it. It's also invisible to our sensors, so we need to book time on some short-range scanners on an Argus Industrial space station. Booking the scanner time has been a bit of a bureaucratic tangle since we're at war with them, so we're negotiating this one the Nataka way. We sent a pilot in already, but he lost his RPV and redlined his credit. Before he left for the mines he said the sensor array had been sabotaged.  Restore the sensor array to working order and use the station's scanners to locate the asteroid. <I x="64" y="64" f="SENSARAY" a="R">Three hours ago it started raining steel-jacketed meteors on the U.D.A. Trade Center. Argus claims to know nothing, and we're taking some heavy flak from the media about this. Ishii-Sama is mad as hell. Once we know where it is it should be child's play to disable the gun. Child's play. Ha! That's what me and my mates thought when we pulled that sentry duty on Hygeia! The first I knew that anything was wrong I was staring at an order screen for my replacement RPV! Argus carpet-bombed the whole sector with incendiaries, but some chucklehead working Nataka dispatch just kept sending us in there. You'd be in there two seconds, maybe three, and then they'd be asking you what kind of chassis you wanted on your replacement. Everyone always says Argus and Krupp-Verdan were the big bad guys, back on Hygeia, but hell, that's no surprise, they're supposed to be the opposition. The real villains were the people who should've been protecting us instead of sending us out there to get pulverized. Nataka brass, that's who.
