Freespace: Between the Ashes - The Doceitov Extraction
6This is the fifth mission of the Between the Ashes campaign anthology's second campaign, The Growing Silence. BtA is a series of three campaigns for Freespace 2, all set between the events of Silent Threat: Reborn and the start of the Freespace 2 campaign. It is April 22, 2342.
The evacuation of the outer system is ongoing. A convoy leaving the Doceitov Cloud anomaly has arrived at Amanu Station short one ship, the science vessel Clearwater, which suffered a drive failure clearing the cloud. The Clearwater was engaged in the beam weapons research project, so although its work is ancillary to the main development effort, recovering it is essential, both to save the personnel aboard and to deny the information the ship contains to the Hammer of Light and mysterious raiders. The Clearwater's last transmission indicated it was heading for one of the LNA's transponders located in the cloud, so our search starts there. Alpha wing will escort a repair transport to the corresponding transponder outside the anomaly and attempt contact. If we can locate the Clearwater, we will venture into the Doceitov Cloud itself to recover the ship.
Unlike most previous Freespace content on the channel, this is going to be a blind first play! Between the Ashes 2 is freshly released , so all of this will be brand new to me as I play it. A second sequel is planned with no current release date.
This is Freespace 2 played using the upgraded graphics courtesy of the Freespace Upgrade Project's MediaVPs, on version 4.7.3 at time of recording. Check out the project at http://hard-light.net
