Caustic Corsair

The Caustic Corsair is a flagged custom carrier surrounded by toxic gas and carrying acid missiles, both of which make it a tough fight for human and sylvassi crew



Dialogue
Warping into the sector a message appears on the hailing display.


 * As C.U. it reads "Greetings, [ship name]. I am the alchemist. No doubt you've heard of me, yes? If you haven't, then I believe it is time for us to get acquainted. Let me demonstrate just how primitive the Colonial Union's technology is. Ready yourselves for battle, officers."
 * As W.D. it reads "Ah, look what we have here. The W.D. Corporation has caught wind of my experiment. Come to admire my ship, have you? Pity, you won't be admiring it for long."
 * As A.O.G. it reads "I know an Alliance of Gentlemen ship when I see one. Greetings, [ship name]. I am the one they call the Alchemist. It was an old moniker from my own days a Gentlemen, you see. As I still harbor a small affection for the Alliance, I'd be willing to let you leave this sector unscathed for a meager sum of 5,000 credits. What will be your decision?"
 * Accepting will make the alchemist friendly and respond "You made a wise choice, friends. I suggest you be on your way before we find a more compelling reason to exchange fire."
 * Refusing will make the alchemist hostile and respond "Then you will not be spared. It is time for you to learn why they call me the alchemist."
 * As F.B. it reads "Caustic Corsair is declining transmissions".
