<D><d><f s="2">dmills=niacdispatch</f><s><p>This new virus weapon is going to turn the tide of battle for us in a big way. If only <I x="64" y="64" f="ltmills" a="l">we'd had them back on Hygeia. Half of my squad got fragged trying to punch through the armor on a Krupp-Verdan Floorsweeper. They were good men, in the Fifth Squadron. With good credit records. But that was the last R.P.V. for my buddy Stan. They sent him to the mines. You believe that? Seven years of service and they send him to the mines because he can't pay off his battle damage. Watch yourself, soldier. There's bad news, and there's really bad news. The bad news is that one of our small cargo ships was shot down from a low Earth orbit en route to a Cavalry Dispatch jumpgate hub. The really bad news is that the cargo was the astrogational data for the locations of all the Cavalry bases. The ship burned up on re-entry, but the black box with the codes is intact. It landed on the coolant tanks and released a cloud of toxic gas. The spaceport's been evacuated. I don't need to tell you what happens if Argus gets ahold of that cargo. <I x="64" y="64" f="HOTCARGO" a="R">We need to recover it and fast unless you want the competition to poach you alive in that comfy little interface pod. Those gearheads are moving to beat us to it. Get in there and recover those codes. Take a light RPV with no weapons. The earth is a totally demilitarized zone and if you fire a shot within ten thousand kilometers of it you'll create a major intercorporate incident. And you'll need every ounce of speed to get that cargo. Go.<p><F S="2">OBJECTIVES:</F><S>Retrieve the data from the re-entry pod.<r><M S="170" B="0"><F S="2">MINIMUM RECOMMENDED SPEED:</F><S>170 km/h</D>
