Reminds me of the epidode where the M.A.S.H. doctors were treating Brit
soldiers' foot problems, such as inflammed blisters, sub rosa, because there
was a stigma in their own service. Natch, the Brit doctors returned the favor,
but for VD treatments. Something about an organizational culture difference.
Never tracked down if that was accurate, if only for the Korean conflict
period, but was an illuminating story, true or otherwise.
Damned if I can come up with scenerio suggestions, though...

Wouldn't that be the same as a Life Support hit? Maybe a case to Strike?

Oh, I'd thought of something like a quick mission to retrieve a vital supply
drop that went astray, only to be amused or terrorized by what the 'vital's
actually were.
If you remember back to the first Star Trek episode aired:
Message, Captain. Starship base requesting explanation of our delay, sir.
Space Commander Dominguez says... we have supplies he urgently needs.
Tell Jose he'll get his chili peppers soon. They're prime Mexican reds. I
handpicked them. But he won't die without them.
(Dialogue nicked from a CZ site; can't recall word-for-word myself.)
On the other hand, if you'll forgive the continued trekkie references, if the
pod turned out to be a pet carrier containing a Klingon targ or a
Vulcan selat... ;->=
Still, kind of thin to be to basing a game on; there's GOT to be better ideas
out there.

Maybe if it involved sheep.

Well, if it's a "diplomatically significant" give or package... like, say an
alien race's equivalent of the Pandas for the Chinese... then a cage of some
critter could be just as politically important as, say, a load of nukes is
significant militarily.
Any scenario is capable of being propped up enough... it's how well you dress
the props that sell it.
