>>5822084QM: There is also the Hohlraum Heavy Industries distress signal emanating from sector 77 / Sextans. All you know at this stage is one of their heavy mining vehicles has gone astray investigating an enormous megastructure; you would need to get closer to hear/see the distress message... To investigate this yourself, the cost is
Total Cost: ISD 30
BOT-VIR-LEO-SEX
Bootes to Sextans
(for Othrigen)
Total Cost: ISD 70
PSA-CAP-SGR-OPH-LIB-VIR-LEO-SEX
Piscis Austrinus to Sextans
(for Independent Friends Alliance)
You could also try hiring some asset or contracting someone in the vicinity to answer the distress call, it might be cheaper. (QM: you can pick from the asset tables for an appropriate team) But if they discover anything worthwhile, they may keep it for themselves...
>Investigate the distress call yourself (pay transport cost in ISD). Imagine... if it was you stranded alone out there in the darkness... wouldn't you want someone to help...?>Contract someone in the vicinity to do it (pick a new asset, which one?) You probably need to negotiate some terms with them>Ignore the Hohlraum distress beacon, they have probably all run out of oxygen anyway by nowQM: You can write in what you would like to do / any other additional preliminary plans. Meanwhile, I will prepare the new scenarios for TURN 2...
