The Missing Reporters - (1 of 3) - Caldari Smugglers [ comments: 5 ]

Enemy

Caldari State

Type DeadSpace (no gate)
Target Kill all NPC's
DropOff 5 Gallente Corpses
Steps 1
Mission briefing This incident comes at a very bad time. Political relations between our governments are extremely volatile at the moment, and there are rumors of war floating around everywhere. So I have explicit orders to tell you to keep this quiet. With your record I know I can trust you, don't speak of this to anyone. Just find the missing reporters, destroy their captors, return them to me and keep your mouth shut.
The first group of Gallente civilians went missing in Gyng reporting on a story involving a group of Caldari Smugglers, who were said to have been smuggling armed terrorists to our stations in Odengsolf, to cause mayhem no doubt. I'll give you the coordinates to their last known position. Find them and bring them back, dead or alive. Their families must be informed of their fate, or they will never be at peace. If you find any hostiles at the scene, feel free to use deadly force.

10:43am 2006 Saturday 11th November 2006 I'm pretty sure the ships I encountered were those listed.

I only killed one of the four transports, which was of course not required. I took a standing loss with the Caldari State for doing so, and it dropped no loot. You should put this info in the tips.

Also, MWD does not work in the deadspace (which is normal, but they do work in SOME, after all).

3:12am 2006 Thursday 26th October 2006 not to be picky, but I think the ships in the mission are actually the same ships just possibly mistagged because they all say the same thing- escort.

6:25pm 2006 Saturday 21st October 2006 There are also 4 Caldari Military Transports you have the option of killing, they won't automatically agro. Killing them or leaving them alive will have no affect on the mission. Next time I get it I'll try get an exact list of the ships I killed

11:49pm 2006 Wednesday 6th September 2006 Did the mission today - Sept 6, 2006 - and it now spawns 8 Caldari Convoy Escorts, rather than the ships currently listed in DB. Also, it no longer has a Caldari Personnel Transport, nor a Caldari Navy Delta II support frigate. The 8 convoy escorts are a mix of Moas, Heroons, and Kestrals.
