I take the bag of posessions and the guns and waltz over to the house. I give him his stuff and hold out my hand for a reward.

The man seems extremely happy. He rummages through the bag for a reward.
"I'll give you a choice. Either I'll give you 1000 pats, or this nice gun my son made for me." He brandishes the gun. It is a Finely Crafted P-17 Laser. Requires charges but packs a punch.
Finely Crafted P-17
Attack: 50-100
Ammo: Obviously, Heavy P class charges.

I take the P-17, knowing that I get +5 because it is a sniper weapon.
(How much ammo do I start with?)
I now go to look to see if any more jobs are availible...

(5 charges.)
People seem to avoid you a bit more, as you are now carrying a large gun. As you walk through the streets, you pass Geel. He waves to you and continues on. You look for jobs. Several options come up.
1. Catch Fish for merchant.
2. Test ORB Bomber
3. Investigate rumored presence on a Northern Island.
A note is attached to the northern island job. It reads...
Dear Sir or Madam,
If you wish to partake on this task you will be in grave danger. A strange presence has been detected to the north, and the Admiral himself has required it be investigated. The Admiral has set up a reward, but we don't know what it is. We will provide transport to and from the island, if needed.
--Commander Hont

Typical. I'm going on that third one, but first I head to my local weapon supplyer and ask how much the P-17 charges are.

He looks at you wryly and tells you that they are 3 charges for 100 pats.

I slap 400 pats into his hand.
"12 charges. I know you are ripping me off, but I expect a serious DEAL on somehting when I get back, huud conteenivana vup-pa."
I depart for the quest...

He points to the shipyard, where you may find your transport. As you approach, a very decorated Twassecc greets you. He is obviously the commander.
"I knew we'd find someone who'd do it! Get moving, get moving! The Admiral wants this done today!"
He gestures you inside an ICH, which you enter. The pilot doesn't say a word to you as the wide hovercraft pulls up onto another island.
"Good luck" He finally says as you jump out. Up ahead, above the trees, you can make out a rising jet of smoke. A path has been cut from the vegetation before you, and has obviously been in use for several days. Up ahead, you hear a mechanical sound. The ICH moves away, through the ocean.

I follow the path, both claws strapped on and wielding my P-17...

Up ahead, you see a small machine. Upon closer inspection it is obvious that it is some sort of stationary weapons platform. A clear dome decorates its top and two metal tentacles, tipped in guns, are slowly rotating.

The charge strikes the machine dead on. The clear dome on the top shatters, revealing some sort of creature within. Angry cries erupt from the turret, and the tentacle-covered monster's head becomes visible.

I aim carefully, putting the creature's eye in the scope of the P-17. FIRE!

BAM! Guts fly all over. A few drops of blood even hit you, about 200 feet away. The trail turns to the right, showing a metal insect like thing retreating. A low murmur of noise suggests a settlement up ahead.

I crawl toward the turret to investigate.
