Event Details:


WARNING: SPOILERS

Darius calls you into the Command Center. Seems he has an interesting proposition:

"Commander, we've identified a significant shipment of freshly manufactured Jade Falcon BattleMechs on their way to a distribution hub. This could be a golden opportunity for us to hit the clanners and walk away with an armload of their tech. No employers, no contracts... just us walking off with whatever we can carry. What do you say?"

Option A - "Look over the op details.":

"Sound like a decent idea, XO. What are we looking at?"

"Basically just a standard convoy ambush, but with the twist that the only one paying us, is us. It's a salvage-only op, so we need to minimize damage and maximize our salvage. It's also worth mentioning that the active Clans in this AO absolutely hate each other. The only thing Clanners respect is force and skill on the battlefield. Hitting one hard might increase our standing with the others."

A contract named Freelancing: Cannonball Run has been added to the Command Center."

Result:

  • Freelancing: Cannonball Run contract added to the Command Center
  • 90 day Clan Jade Falcon Freelancing cooldown applied


Option B - "Pass on this for now.":

"It's not a bad idea, but I don't want to piss off the clanners too much just yet. Not without someone else footing the bill at least."

"Understood, Commander."

Result:

  • 90 day Clan Jade Falcon Freelancing cooldown applied
