SELIM’S
The Wildcats pay the bills (and keep Virgil happy) by hiring out their squadron to governments,
corporations and even wealthy individuals who need mercenary services. As a lieutenant
commander in the Wildcats, it is your responsibility to contract these missions. You’ll never actually
see the people you’re working for, though. They’ll hire you through fixers — go-betweens who
procure missions for mercenary squadrons and maintain anonymity for employers — for a small
fee.
Many fixers in the Istanbul area frequent Selim’s. You must visit the bar to talk to them and get
your missions. You can also visit with other members of the Wildcats who hang out there.
Bar. When you first arrive at Selim’s, you’ll find yourself at the bar. Sometimes you’ll see other
Wildcats there. They may have information about missions, so stop and talk to them whenever
possible.
Getting Missions. Go through the archway to the right to get to the main room and talk to the
fixers.
Returning to the Wildcat Base. Select the door to the left to return to the Wildcat base. Remember
that if you accept a mission and leave the bar, the fixers don’t want to see you again until that
mission is finished.
The Main Room. Just beyond the bar is the set of tables where the fixers can be found. To hear
what a fixer has to offer, select him at his table. He will present you with a general mission goal,
inform you of your payment, and ask you if you want the mission. When the fixer extends his hand
to shake on the deal, select the hand to accept the offered mission, or select anywhere else on the
screen to reject it.
Business is slow, and it’s hard to afford a good mercenary squadron, so you’ll often find only one
mission available. Sometimes, however, you’ll have a choice of several missions. Don’t be afraid to
refuse a mission and listen to the pitch again, or check what other fixers have available. These guys
are a competitive lot, though, and they won’t take rejection kindly if there are other missions
around. Refuse a fixer twice while there are other missions available, and he’ll stop offering his
mission to you.
Prideaux’s Niche. Jean-Paul Prideaux, leader of the Jackals, holds audiences in a shadowed niche
in the back of the main room. Sometimes he’s there and sometimes not, but you can visit his niche
by clicking on it with the left mouse button.
Once you’ve accepted a mission, head back to the Wildcat base and get ready to fly. With enough
skill and a little luck, you’ll be the top mercenary squadron in Istanbul.
