Last year you were just an ordinary bum on the street, but then the planetary government went and conscripted you into their exploration service. After a six month training program you are ready. You get given your assignment, find a rare metal, rumored to exist on a distant planet, and bring it back. But, right before you set out, you learn that the governments of other planets as well as space pirates are also after this metal, you must beat them to it.

He shakes his head and continues to point to the rifle and then assumes a questioning posture. Just then another patron walks in and says, "He is trying to ask you to identify the rifle he is holding, to make sure the repair worked." What do you do?

They are all clustered around a kill, you manage to get a closer look and it turns out to be an explorer team recruited by the company that hired you. They are easily withing range to be taken out with one thermal detonator. What do you do?

"Ho- Ho- Holy sh**!" I knock on the wall inside of the building to wake up the others. "We've got company! Don't shoot until I say! Zago, call law enforcement, then get out to help if this crap hits the fan!" I step back outside. I address the crowd. "Good evening, I am Ludwig Von Heichner of the Monarchy of _______. (Don't want them to know I was previously employed by a dictatorship) Is there something I can do for you?"

As soon as they hear that you are working for the monarchy they open fire. You quickly duck behind the wall and fire a few shots over their heads, but that just makes them laugh. Zago comes out and says that the police have no interest in helping you. They are 75 meters away, what do you do?

"Alright, I'll shoot the ones with firearms. You guys will shoot the rest. Aim for arms and legs if you can help it. I don't want the news bit**ing about us, because we shot some poor teenager, leading to the round ripping off his face. If they get too close, get the biggest things you can and put up against the door. I don't care if you have to use our beds. But the biggest thing I want you to remember is, do not shoot to kill."

You disable most of them when you are attacked from behind. Zago and Keer pull out energy blades (short ones) and fight back, but you lost hold of your rifle and are facing an energy sword-wielding insurgent. What do you do?

You are about to head out when a rival pack of 'lings shows up. You hide on a ledge (again) and the zerglings pass you by. (except for one, which secretes a fluid onto the base of the slope.) Argon says it is marking it and advises you to use the thermal detonator, because as soon as they finish their little fight, they will attack you. What do you do?
to ludwig and cardibard, you have a choice between a stat enhancement, a new weapon, a ship upgrade, or a lot of money. Which do you want? (this is your loyalty bonus)
to alexandra and lonelighters, you will get a simalar bonus if you are still active at page 40

I dodge any slashes he makes. When he tries to thrust, I'll dodge, grab him by the wrist with one hand, then palm-thrust him in the elbow joint... Hard.
