{100}{}{You see the mayor of Astoria.}
{101}{}{You see Mayor Radcliff.}
{102}{}{You see an old man in a neat suit. His posture is miserable, but his eyes lively and enthusiastic.}
{103}{}{[continune]}

{200}{}{Lucy told me you are here about the job, is that right?}
{201}{}{Good day. Nice to see you again.}
{202}{}{Lucy told me you had an important matter to tell me. What is it?}
{203}{}{So, you're back for the job, right?}
{204}{}{}

{205}{}{That is correct, sir.}
{206}{}{Yes, sir.}

{207}{}{That's good. Now tell me who you are.}

{208}{}{My name is }
{209}{}{. I come from Duston. I am... an adventurer.}

# Pirates mission
{2100}{}{You showed that you can be trusted. I might have another job for you but it depends...}
{2101}{}{Depends on what?}
{210}{}{On how you're doing with firearms or explosives?}

{211}{}{I am a master!}
{212}{}{Pretty well!}
{213}{}{Not so good.}
{214}{}{These aren't really my skills...}

{215}{}{It looks as though you are indeed. Good, that's very good, 'cause you'll get to hone those skills pretty much.}
{216}{}{Good, that's very good, 'cause you'll get to hone those skills pretty much.}
{217}{}{That's bad, 'cause these are the skills that I'm looking for. Still, I think you might do...}
{218}{}{Yeah, you don't really look like the combat type. Sorry, I'm afraid this job isn't for you.}

{219}{}{So, what is it about?}
{220}{}{So, what's the mission?}
{221}{}{I'm interested. Tell me more, please.}
{222}{}{A lot of gunfire? No, sorry, I thought this was another type of job.}
{223}{}{But I can do it! Really!}

{225}{}{We captured the fence, thanks to you, and he proved quite willing to cooperate, especially after we let the rats eat his legs alive. Among others, he revealed the location of the pirate hideout.}
{226}{}{I sent out scouts and they confirmed the location. Now I need a competent warrior to go there and wipe the scum clean. That would be you.}
{227}{}{That's a pity. Come back if you've changed your mind, though.}
{228}{}{No, I can't take such risk. If you fail, we will never be able to pull it off again. Come back when you're a little more experienced.}

{229}{}{Why not gather a large strike party and take them out?}
{230}{}{What's the pay?}

{231}{}{Because, I'm sure they have their spies here. Otherwise, they wouldn't know when to attack. If we do it loud and hard, they will escape.}
{232}{}{You can loot the pirates' bodies and I'll give you a round sum of money to smooth things out. If you want, I could also put in a good word for you with the merchants.}

{233}{}{How much is a round sum of money?}
{234}{}{That's a fair pay. I'll take the job.}

{235}{}{3000$. A 1000 for a start and the rest when the pirates are gone.}
{236}{}{Good, good, I'm glad you've made the right choice. Here, take this holodisk. It is the recon report with the location of the hideout and some estimates from the commander.}

{237}{}{Thank you, sir. I'll report to you when I have defeated the pirates.}

{238}{}{That's right. Good luck, boy!}
{239}{}{That's right. Good luck, miss!}

# Pirate fence mission
{250}{}{Oh, a mercenary. That's good, I hope. Do you have any guesses on what I want to ask you to do?}

{251}{}{Well, I guess, solve some of your internal problems or do some semi-official, semi-legit job that you can't handle through police.}
{2510}{}{I have no idea.}
{2511}{}{To make you a coffee?}

{252}{}{[Under his breath] Good, intelligent. [To you] Basically, you're right. Now listen what the job entails.}
{2520}{}{[Under his breath] Let's hope that at least he's strong. [To you] So, let me enlighten you.}
{2521}{}{[Under his breath] Let's hope that at least she's strong. [To you] So, let me enlighten you.}
{2522}{}{[Under his breath] Bad jokes. Not good. [To you] Not quite - Lucy can do it just fine. Listen carefully what the job entails.}

{253}{}{I'm all ears.}

{224}{}{Well, as you are aware, Astoria is the most important sea port in the region. A lot of cargo goes through here every day. That generates a lot of money, and money is the thing that usually attracts all kinds of scum.}
{254}{}{There have been numerous pirate raids on our merchants' ships. That's not quite beneficial for the business. So, I had the matter investigated and hopefully we've made some progress.}
{255}{}{We discovered a pirate fence in the dock area. I want you to capture him for questioning. Now listen more carefully: You'll need to do that dis-creet-ly! We don't want the whole port to know about it!}

{256}{}{What do you need him for?}
{257}{}{Discreetly? Alive? That's quite a trick, isn't it? What's the pay?}

{258}{}{At the moment you don't need to know that. Are you in for the job?}
{259}{}{It is, indeed. 600 caps will make it worth your while I guess? Plus, if you do it well, we might work together again...}

{260}{}{Ok, I'm into it.}
{261}{}{I want to know how much you will pay me - catching him alive in a discreet manner is difficult, isn't it?}
{262}{}{No, I'm not interested, sorry.}

{263}{}{Excellent! That's the spirit! Talk to Oswald on your way out. He will give you more details on the man. Take this - 200$ as a headstart.}

{264}{}{Thank you, sir! Goodbye!}

{265}{}{Just as a reminder, your job consists in catching a pirate fence and bringing him here ALIVE. Plus, you've got to be stealthy. Talk to Oswald on your way out. Here's your advance - 200$.}
