== Story ==

The player must assist the [[Institute for Interstellar Lifeforms]] and Dr. Swanson with ongoing experiments on the [[~~Tiddlets~~]]. A key part of this is purchasing Dr. Martinez's [[Ship|starship]], equipped with a modified [[FTL Drive]] for short-range jumps—so-called [[Hop|hops]] — hence referred to as the Hop Drive ship or [[Short Hopper]].

The player must assist the [[Institute for Interstellar Lifeforms]] and Dr. Swanson with ongoing experiments on the [[Tiddlet]]s. A key part of this is purchasing [[Dr. Julian Martinez]]'s [[Ship|starship]], equipped with a modified [[FTL Drive]] for short-range jumps—so-called [[Hop|hops]] — hence referred to as the Hop Drive ship or [[Short Hopper]].

At the start of the conversation, Dr. Swanson informs the player that [[Professor Toppingbury]] has taken a leave of absence due to work-related stress.

Line 102:

* Even if Dr. Martinez’s ship is destroyed after negotiations fail, the Institute is still required to pay $1,500,000 for the Short Hopper.

* Damaging Dr. Martinez’s ship or the Short Hopper during the breakdown of negotiations has no effect on the outcome.

* Prior to purchase, the Short Hopper cannot be destroyed, as its damage is capped at 90%. If purchased in this state, the player must transfer a new crew (the original crew is dead) and repair the ship using [[~~Logistic~~ Drone]]s.
