(set: $suspoints to 0)You have successfully made your way into the spaceship by working as a mechanic.
While working, you have overheard that a big attack is going down in 7 days.
You have recieved a encrypted message from the Federation asking you to upload the pirate's database to the Federation. You will recieve a bonus 5000 credits.
[[Decide to gain more intel and covertly upload the database.->Intel]]

[[Who exactly are these pirates I will be taking down?->Pirates]]
[[Why is the federation outpost being targeted?->Target]]
[[What is sector 7?->Seven]]
[[No More Questions->Choose Identity]]They call themselves the Pirates Coalition. They consist of 50+ cruiser sized spaceships. They are not a highly organized group so we expect their organiation to fall apart after their leader is killed.
[[Continue Conversation->Questions]]They are targeting our Federation Headquarters to hinder our peacekeeping operations. We have intel that they have obtained antimatter missiles and are going to use them to destroy the outpost.
Only the leader's ship is going to attack as to avoid suspicion of a strike.
You must prevent this from happening.
[[Continue Conversation->Questions]]Sector 7 is located at Proxmia Centauri, the human race's most populous sector. Stopping the ship before it reaches sector 7 will also mitigate any collatoral damage from the potential wreckage they could cause.
[[Continue Conversation->Questions]]Almost everyone is asleep in their crew quarters during Downtime hours. You have a chance to sneak out of your quarters.
[[Sneak out of your quarters.->Sneaked]]
[[Wait till it is time to work->Start Work]]The crew quarters is (text-style: "smear")[littered] with clothes and junk, with holes in the floor patched with rusted scrap metal. You get out of bed and walk slowly to avoid waking anyone up from their beds.

"Traitor!"
The crew wakes up, the lights turn on, and a bag is put over your head. Your legs and arms are restrained.
A voice says, "Easy way or Hard way?"
[[Easy]]
[[Hard->Torture]]"Easy Way, Please"
Too bad there is only HARD way!
[[Hard Way->Torture]]You are dragged into a dark room and bound to a metal chair and they lift the bag over your head.
You see two men, one of them is skinny with goggles that make him look like a mad scientist and the other is brawny with muscles that make you fear for your life.
The skinny one asks, "Who are you, and what are your true intentions?"
[[Lie]]
[[Beg]]
[[Confess]]
[[Taunt]]"I am just a mechanic, I got this job from a friend of a friend, Please don't kill me! I am innocent!"
Skinny: "Yeah right, HA HA HA"
He takes a flamethrower and melts your face off.
"HA HA Have fun being on fire."
[[Next Day->TempDeath]]"Please don't kill me, I have a family. Wife and 7 kids, a few aunts and uncles too. PLEASE!"
Brawny: "Aw thats so sad, maybe this wrench will save your family."
He bashes your head in with a wrench until you have no more head.
[[Next Day->TempDeath]]"I am an agent for The Federation, I was here to infiltrate your operation and blow up this ship. So you will let me go right?"
Skinny: "Ok thanks for the information, we will take your confession into careful consideration."
A bag is put over your head again and your chair is dragged into another room, it is freezing cold. Then you feel your sweat freeze on your skin and the air get sucked out of your lungs.
You have been sucked out of an airlock.
[[Next Day->TempDeath]]"Do your worst, I will never surrender."
Brawny: "If that is the case, then we have no use for you"
He takes a nailgun and puts a bunch of nails through your neck.
[[Next Day->TempDeath]](text-style: "rumble")[(css: "color: red;")[YOU ARE DEAD]]
(text-style: "emboss")[Mission Failed]You get to the dispenser and transfer the credits.
You hear a churning sound and the latch drops open.
The snack is revealed. A generic corn cubes snack.
You walk back to the crew quarters,
"Here's your corn cubes!"
Him: "Thanks! *Crunch*"
[[Hallway]]You head to the Comms room, you look through the door window and you
see someone working in the comms room.
[[Throw something across the hallway to make a distraction->Distract]]
[[Knock on the Door->Knock]]
You decide not to upload the database and sleep.
You are now going to start your sabotage mission.
[[Start Work]]You find a toolbox and hide behind a corner, then you throw it across the hallway.
It makes a ''loud'' sound.
The person inside the comms room comes out of the room and walks toward the toolbox, with his back facing you.

[[Shoot Him in the head->ShootComms]]You walk inside the comms room, it is filled with screens built into the desks and monitors.
You only have a few seconds.
[[Start uploading the database->Upload]]
[[Lock the Comms Room Door->Lock]]As you are about to sneak into the comms room, you hear footsteps behind you.
It is the guy you were supposed to give a snack to.
"Hey! What are you doing in the comms room?!"
The communications room guy turns around and sees you.
It is obvious that you are doing something you are not supposed to do.
[[Surrender->LifeorDeath Action]]
[[Take your plasma pistol out and shoot them->FireFightDeath]]
You go to a desk and start furiously typing in commands to start the upload. You quickly put the program in the background to cover your tracks and avoid suspicion.
The pirate's database is now being uploaded to The Federation servers.
Side Mission Success!
You quickly run out of the comms room without the comms guy noticing you and head back to the crew quarters as if nothing happened.
[[Sleep (Start Sabotage Mission)->Start Work]]"Traitor!"
They immediately run towards you and restrain your arms and legs with magcuffs.
"Easy way or Hard way?"
[[Easy]]
[[Hard->Torture]]You draw your pistol and shoot the comms guy in the arm and in the chest, he now has two holes.
The guy behind you already has his weapon drawn and he shoots you in the chest before you could aim your gun at him.

You: No

[[Ha ha, I confess, I am the spy.->Funny]]"I am pretty sure only us, the all mighty Pirates Coalition, knows about this. But, there could be a //spy// among us. You are probably that spy huh?"
[[Shoot Him in the Head->Shot1]]
[[I'm no Traitor!->Deny]]
[[Ha ha, I confess, I am the traitor.->Funny]]Your plasma pistol does not have a silencer.
You have alerted everyone.
There is no way to run.
[[Surrender->LifeorDeath]]"Okayyyy, I hope so, well I'll let you get to work on that scrubber.
