Mission Briefing
Welcome to Astoh, <char_name>. I appreciate you coming by. Katsen just send me the ISK, too. Thank you for being our middle man on that one. You may want to make yourself comfortable in that egg for a moment; I've a bit to cover here for your briefing.
As you know, my name is Sinas Egassuo. As you probably do not know, my job is to coordinate search and rescue operations, as well as the liberation of Caldari Prisoners of War taken during battle in Black Rise. This duty I have fulfilled without hesitation, and I am proud to have led such operations.
It is by carrying out this task, however, that I've come to notice something strange. Whenever we rescue people, there are often less Ishukone crew members and staff than the rest. It's never enough to be conspicuous or noticeable, but I notice it, and I find it conspicuous. I can't explain it though, and neither can the people we recover.
My suspicion is that Ishukone personnel are being taken elsewhere, perhaps being treated more kindly due to their Liberal philosophies and good history with the Gallente. It wouldn't surprise me to see the Federation trying to divide us over something like that, but we'd have to know about it first, and they don't seem keen on that happening.
I need you to investigate the matter for me and find out what's going on. I can brief you on the details of the assignment once you accept, but until I have that commitment, I'm not willing to trust you with the information. Sorry <char_name>, but Katsen's recommendation only gets you so far.
So, are you committed to the fight ahead of us or not?
