East Sector, Helen System, Helen V
A group of scientists from the Aquanis Outpost suspect that they are being targeted by House Davion military intelligence and no longer feel safe continuing to work on Helen V. Get them safely back to Lyran Alliance space so they can work in peace.
The Contractor begins with 3 Transport units. They are Size 1, 20 ton Combat Vehicles with Mv 12"w, TMM 2, 2 Arm, 2 Str, and no damage. They are under the Contractor's control. Each has a Group of Scientists embarked inside. The Scientists may Disembark if the Contractor desires, in which case they are Mv 2"f, TMM 0, 0 Arm, 1 Str, IT3. Only Scientists may Embark into the Transport Units. The Contractor's units may voluntarily withdrawn off either the edge they walked in on, or the edge opposite it. If Forced to Withdraw, they will move directly toward the closer of the two. The OpFor units may withdraw off any edge except the edge the Contractor walked in on. If Forced to Withdraw, they will move directly to the closest edge, ignoring the edge that the Contractor walked in on.
Get 1 Group of Scientists off the edge opposite the edge that you walked in on. If you complete this objective, gain 1 reputation with the Lyran Alliance.
