When we walking into Mission Control, I immediately lead us to the large elevation platforms that are directly to the right of the main entrance. Unlike the small enclosed elevators of Earth, these large 50ft by 50ft platforms are open with no doors or walls and once a certain amount of people are allowed on, it descends downward and stops at every floor until it reaches the bottom.
Each floor is classified by the types of mission available, with short term small time contracts on the second floor and long term large scale contracts are the very bottom on the 15th floor.
The good thing about Mission Control instead of going to actual Mercenary's guild or the Adventures guild is that Mission Control does not require any form of identification but usually deals with the more illegal or morally wrong missions at the same time. Well either way, this place is completely packed.
I decide to go all the way to the bottom because those missions are usually the most fun that are available such as hunting terrorist groups or bandit organizations all over the galaxy.
We arrive at the 15th floor within a few minutes and without delay I walk over to one of private computers that are off the side. Within Mission Control, missions are taken by going to a privatized computer sonother people can't see what missions you take. Also on every floor are a multitude of attendants in case you need assistance.
Once I get to the computer, I look at the screen and see three sections to choose from.
Assassinations
Hunts
Heists
I click on hunts as I wish to hunt terrorist groups in the area. The moment I click on it, many different missions appear on screen that I can pick a few from.
***Hunt the Cerci pirates****
- The Cerci pirates are a group that does their pillaging in the area around planet Draben.
***Hunt the Eight Guns gang***
- The Eight Guns Gang are situated somewhere on the planet Vixen.
***Hunt the Seekers of Chaos***
- There are many hideouts of this organization across the galaxy, but this mission is for you to hunt all the members and get rid of them on the planet Gader.
.....
I saw a few promising missions that I'll probably take once I'm done on this planet but my main goal right now is the Seekers of Chaos in this area as they seem to be hitting this planet extra hard recently.
I click on the mission to hunt the Seekers of Chaos, and it immediately disappears from the list of available missions. I then proceed to click the finished button on the top right corner, and everything closes out as a small USB type device comes out at the bottom which contains all the jobs information and is the proof that I took the job so that Mission Control can pay me when the job is done.
Now that I have the mission, I need to get some information!
I decide bars are the best local area to get information about possible areas of terrorist hideouts as drunks are quite talkative and bar owners usually know a lot.
Along the way I had also sent a quick message to ADP-01 to scan the planets database and news network about any information on the Seekers of Chaos.
Once I finish this mission and I am ready to leave this planet, we will proabably take more missions from Mission Control was to keep me occupied for awhile.
After an hour of searching for a somewhat busy and popular bar in the area, me and Sarah go and sit in a booth off to the side and order a few light alcoholic drinks. Sarah at first tried to refuse since she is considered underage on her planet, but I told her it would look unnatural for her to be here and not drink at all. Plus the galaxy's does not have any drinking laws or anything of that sort so it's not illegal out here.
I survey the bar looking for people that are to drunk to care about anything they say, but I change my mind and decide to go ask the bartender first and then I'll ask around the bar.
I get up and tell Sarah to stay and watch our drinks as I walk towards the bar where the bartender is mixing many different things together that even I don't recognize where in the galaxy some of these things come from.
I walk over and lean over the bar and wave for the bartender to come over.
"Hey bartender, I'll try the Orc Maelstrom. While your at it can I also get some information on the Seekers of Chaos? Anything will help!" I ask after ordering a drink and indicating I can pay for more information.
