"Alright. This mission is of utmost importance. You have been granted ######## clearance for this mission. I'm sure you've heard of the Warlocks."
"The Pirate group that's been terrorising Carthage?"
"Correct. They just caused a lockdown in Aerial. We need you to catch one of their number. Jump to Aerial and I'll give you more details."
"Copy that."

"You want me going after her? She has the largest bounty in a 20LY radius."
"That's right. We want you to disable her ship and capture her. We think she's calling the shots. The warlocks are complete ghosts, we know nothing about their internal structure at all. We don't even know what she looks like or if Avelina is even her real name. Capture her and we'll make her talk."
"Copy that... do we have intel on her whereabouts?"
"Word is she hangs around the CNB. If she's in a wing take out her FSD first then pop the wingmates."
"How exactly am I meant to capture her-"
"Board her ship. Use force. She's a murderer so there is no mercy. Just take her alive."
"Copy that... I'm dropping into the CNB. Comms going dark."
Dropping at destination.
