Mission information

From Move One: (Move One on DW)

• You are receiving your instructions on an outpost near an unusually stable rift in the boring, unremarkable year 702.
• The contact giving you the mission is a woman named Crow.
  • Crow's signifier is an Ashhawk Vigilant. This is a common and unremarkable Kel signifier--even if she's not Kel or ex-Kel, she probably has some military experience.
• Your ship is a reclaimed pirate vessel called the Wasp.
  • The Wasp includes basic tutorials for its operation. They'll get you through common situations but not a dogfight--you won't become an expert in a couple weeks.
  • The Wasp is outfitted with a cantankerous matter printer.
  • It also includes Kel surplus sewing kits.
  • The mothgrid includes dummied-up, less valuable rift maps and the briefing information. You are to destroy the latter after memorizing it.
• Your target is Nirai Remi.
  • You will be retrieving Remi from Station Moongray in High Calendar Year 361.
  • Remi is a young man with violet eyes and curly hair. He claims to be able to pilot smaller moths.
  • Remi has been instructed to go with whoever tells him the code word "mango."
  • Moongray is currently devoted to researching the rift, but has light defenses, mostly hired security and robots (non-sentients, so no servitors). Its research moths are mostly automated as well.
  • There are no Kel swarms in the area, as Moongray is in an internal (and therefore quiet) march.
  • Remi thinks that he may have attracted someone's attention, but isn't sure whose.
  • In case of emergency, Crow recommends that you flee to System Ostoya, which is known for its black markets and lawlessness.
• Your emergency contact on Remi's side of the rift is code-named Yellow, whom you can call from the Wasp.
  • Yellow monitors the rifts on that side, so you can contact them for further information.
• You will be taking a rift to Remi's time and place.
  • It should take you about five days to reach the rift.
  • The rift is expected to stay stable on this side for about twelve days.
  • Subjective time in the rift during travel is expected to be ten days.

From Move Seven: (Move Seven on DW)

• We're arriving at the station on Month Three, Day Sixteen, 3 p.m.-ish, which is a Sunday.
• Remi is always at the same bar on a Tuesday, and there's a cafe specializing in bubble tea where he picks up a drink every morning before going in to work.
