| 3) Multiregional Sim of Some Question
|
| Around the turn of the century, Gregory Landgraab, a humble school teacher, suddenly came into a great deal of money and became one of the wealthiest landowners around. This was never explained, though many theories suggest foul play and the Ministry of Adventure has tasked <Sim name> with solving the case, once and for all. After a great deal of research, <Sim name> believes one of two people will have the answers <he/she> needs: Spencer Oswald, the Landgraab's accountant, or the local fortune teller, the gypsy.

|
| <Sim name> stands on the deck of <his/her> ship, the S.S. Serpent, and surveys the sea before <him/her>. Off the port bow is a lovely cruise liner, surely filled with fabulous foods and wealthy tourists. Off to starboard is a cargo freighter that may contain an even richer bounty, though <Sim name> won't know until <he/she> can investigate the crates.

|
| <Sim name>'s team takes a fieldtrip to the local ballpark to watch a game - a well deserved rest after a full weak of warhead disarming. Suddenly, a panic ensues as the announcer warns the crowd of an imminent explosion - somehow the wires for the gigantic television screen in the stadium became crossed with the wires for the nacho cheese distribution machine. The whole stadium is going to blow sky high! The seconds are ticking down as <Sim name> assesses the situation - it looks grim. <Sim name> can order an evacuation, or try to dismantle the wiring.

|
| <Sim name> is leaning on the squad car enjoying a sandwich when the chief calls <his/her> on the radio - apparently, the criminals inside have calmed down and are ready to negotiate. <Sim name> wipes the mustard from <his/her> lips and calmly strolls inside with <his/her> hands up. After a few minutes of talking, the criminals' demands are explained - they want helicopters to fly them out of town, packed lunches for every member of the group, and 1 million Simoleons. <Sim name> isn't sure whether to use reverse psychology or condescension to talk them out of it - how should <he/she> proceed?

It is here that <he/she> makes a startling discovery - the Kaltumbrans are going to launch a team at any moment to man their Orbital Pulsatronic Weapons Platform on the Moon. <Sim name> can either steal their shuttle, or use a computer virus to cripple their computers managing the launch sequence - time is of the essence!

"One appears to be fleeing, the other is another pirate vessel." <Sim name> faces a tough decision - does <he/she> attempt to capture the fleeing ship before competing pirates, or should <he/she> act as the valiant savior and attack the pirates to protect the fleeing vessel?
