SERIOUSLY, MASSIVE SPOILERS AHEAD. CLICK HERE FOR FULL BREAKDOWN OF EVENT OPTIONS

Option A - "Oh no, interrupt this connection.":

"Look, you weirdo, if you want me to stop telling folks about what kind of fucked up world we live in and the people who shape it, you're going to have to destroy the antenna or find where I am and burn it down.

I've had smarter people than you try, Commander.

Also, if you hope Capellans will actually pay your bills you are going to die penniless."

Result:

  • Tex gains Low Spirits for 14 days


Option B - "Lecture: SOMETIMES KINDNESS IS HARD":

En route to a new location after the last campus burned down, the Black Pants Legion Inner Sphere War Studies school hit a snag during their semester-at-space program. Fleeing prosecution by renegade Clanner forces, the BPL has switched jump ships frequently to avoid detection. Unfortunately, this has resulted in the crew straying deep into Capellan space. With his noted anti-Capellan government stance, the Professor has called upon any available mercenary or free fighting force to assist him in, quote "Getting these idiots to leave me alone, I'm trying to teach here."

Result:

  • Lyran faction reputation increased by 2
  • Capellan faction reputation decreased by 2


Option C - "Lecture: "NO GOOD DEED GOES UNPUNISHED":

Nearing the border of Lyran Space, The Black Pants Legion Inner Sphere War Studies have encountered yet another setback: Capellan Tax Assessors. Unpaid docking fees and a "Tax on higher learning" were the sticking points. Professor Tex is calling on free agents, as he'd rather "Pay a stranger a fortune in C Bills than a Capellan a single cent". The Professor also notes that discounts on his lecture series are available for a limited time, pending he survives.

Result:

  • Lyran faction reputation increased by 2
  • Capellan faction reputation decreased by 2
