E191 Assassination Contract (takes rest of day)
An underground contact offers you 500 S now and 5,000 S when you return to this area after the job, if you will assassinate a
certain person. Roll 1d6 for the target, and where he can be found:
- 1-2: the "Devil of Talitar," E9, M5, H5, a high official in the dictatorship, found in any area in the Talitar system
- 3-4: Grand Duke of Imperia, E3, M3, H2, found in any Palace or City area of the Imperia system
- 5: Byzantine Police Inspector, E8, M4, H6, found in any area of Byzantium
- 6: Palatek corporate president, E4, M0, H2, found in any area of Palatek with life support
To find your target, roll 1d6 when you enter an area where he may be, "6" indicates you find him by chance. Alternately, you can
spend an entire day in an area, with at least one hour during the day in active searching (the rest can be doing whatever you
desire, except RRR), and roll 1d6 at the end of the day, "5" or "6" means you have found him. Once you find the target, roll 1d6
to determine exact situation and bodyguard. You must kill the target and return to the area where you met the contact to get
your 5,000 S final fee. Situation die rolls are:
- 1-2: he is alone wearing only a sidearm (see R210 for tech level, weapon is two levels above normal, up to a maximum of level 6)
- 3-4: he has two bodyguards
- 5: he has four bodyguards
- 6: he is in an armored limousine skimmer with driver and bodyguard manning skimmer guns
The bodyguards are E8, M5, H5 with sidearms one above normal tech level (see R210) with a maximum of tech 6. Armored
limousine skimmer will reduce all hits by two (i.e., a single or double hit does no damage, a triple hit does one hit of damage,
etc.). The bodyguards will fight to the death, but the target will attempt to escape as soon as his side is hit more often (over
all) than your side. If you have already assassinated the target, ignore this encounter.
