BattleTech: The Crescent Hawks' Inception/Academy HPG Station

The following text displays when Jason enters the ComStar HPG station at the Pacifica Academy:

• You are standing in the entry hall of an official ComStar hyperpulse generator station. All around you, ComStar technicians attend to interplanetary communication equipment, while several Adepts, shrouded in robes and mystery, direct their efforts. They ignore your attempts at communication, so you settle down to one of the small public-access computer terminals.

• The terminal’s screen clears. At its insistence, you place your eye over the retinal scanner to verify that you are, indeed, Jason Youngblood. After the terminal beeps confirmation, you blink a few times to re-dilate your pupil as your balance sheet prints out on the screen.

• Fred Swenson: Hi, Jason, how are you? I just stopped in her to buy me some of that Baker stock. I'll make a fortune if they don’t go broke. After I’m done here, I’m going over to the lounge.
