Location: Antares (probably near a planet)

Steal cargo container from civillian research base. Player is told the container is for an important deal. Can allude to the Regulus senators from m1_02. Probably hint that they are hired by some out of system government guys or something.

The GTA is researching Ancients artifacts (or artifacts and weapons? You be the judge on what is more intriguing.) but they player isn't told what is specifically stolen. Perhaps something along the lines of docking a transport and we hear messages from an on foot team doing the theivery and putting the goods in the container?

The base calls for help and the Intrepid sends a few patrols.

The cargo is off someplace else only being serviced by Phidias drones.


BTA1_M0_02:

Location: Alpha Centauri

Player is assigned to assist in the transport of the goods to the dropoff point in a remote sector of Alpha Centauri. Wierd things happen with the cargo container. (Wierd readings or sounds.. perhaps some sort of light EMP or something? Have fun with this.) This is PVN territory so they would probably be the ones patrolling the area. I don't know how to make this more interesting than fighting off waves of fighters though. Perhaps they need to make sure they jump out and aren't tracked? Another idea is that they are just arriving in Alpha Centauri from the Vasuda node. Let's use the Poseidon as the freighter in this one. That's what I'll use in the cutscene.

Should end with an in-mission jump to the very remote sector and a short in-mission cutscene showing the immediate area. No HoL ships present.. a warp opens.. fade to black.
