<D><f s="2">dmills=niacdispatch</f><s><p>The outlook ain't good, <k>. That meson weapon the Keller tanks have been <I x="64" y="64" f="ltmills" a="l">using on you? It's out of the Krupp-Verdan weapon labs. That means Krupp-Verdan's gone down. Sensor sweep of their arcology this morning showed five thousand dead. I'm betting anyone left alive ain't friendly. This thing isn't playing around, and we need that meson weapon. Go get it, kid, cause we're taking a beating. The lab's out in the middle of a desert, and it's heavily defended. We can't get you into the lab - it's jumpshielded - but we can get you in outside it. They open the gate once a month to let in a delivery crawler. We miss this we'll have to wait another month before we can try again, and dollars to donuts that weapon'll be long gone. So cut loose with some more of that nice shooting you been doing. Some of us appreciate good work even if those cheeseheads in N.I.A.C. brass couldn't care less. Now we can't get a jumpgate in there to get you out, so you'll have to reconfigure their garbage disposal gate to send you back to headquarters. R & D set you up with a self-erasing navigation file in your RPV's I/O directory that should do the trick. Don't want them following you through the gate and fragging us where we live.<p><F S="2">OBJECTIVES:</F><S>Gain entrance to base. <r>Get the meson weapon.
