Aldrin Plot (Page 3 of 4)

Infestation

Your new mission is to repeat what you just did in the next Sector.

When you jump in, however, you find a massive planetoid. A scan will reveal high Nividium concentrations. Then Kha'ak appear. Lots of them. It's time to leave.

Regroup at the Terran Tyr in TUS1 when you are ready to continue.

The Terrans need to clear out that Kha'ak infested sector. They will retreat for a few minutes to consider how to do it. Unfortunately for those spoiling for a fight, they choose not to invade. Instead, they're dispatching you on a recon mission of Paranid sector Perpetual Sin, which it is believed was once a Kha'ak sector, that somehow the Paranid cleaned out. You will hunt for how the Paranid did this.

When you arrive in sector you will find several debris items. The ones you are looking for are near the asteroid at 12.9, 5.1, -1.9. You'll need to get very close (within 350m) to initiate a scan.

It seems that the Paranid did indeed use a superweapon to obliterate everything in the Sector. Terran agents have got wind of a Paranid willing to sell information on the events in perpetual Sin. He's on the Trading Station in Spaceweed Grove, and his price is a Paranid Nemesis corvette.

With the Nemesis docked and turned over, you get your info. The Terrans decide not to use the superweapon except as a last resort, as they are concerned about Kha'ak retaliation. You must wait for further orders.

They come a little later. Several Terran agents have been detained in Paranid space, and the Paranid are refusing to negotiate for their release. The Terran command has ordered a rescue mission, and you are to proceed to the Unknown Sector west of Unholy Descent to carry it out.

This will not affect your Paranid rep.

When you arrive, you must destroy all Paranid influence in the sector. It comprises satellites, drones and the odd fighter. You'll have some help. Mosquito missiles are quite good at dealing with the drones.

When all Paranid forces in the sector are dead, a Yokohama jumps in and heads for the Paranid prisoner transport. When it gets there, it will board it with Marines and jump out. You are to follow it to Terran Unknown Sector 1.
