      <section id="about">
        <p>
          The original Elite gave you one mission, from the Navy, after your
          first sixteen kills. HARMLESS keeps that one and adds more. Five
          people on five worlds have work for you. Each one is a few jumps
          farther across the first galaxy than the last, and each gives you a
          short chain of jobs. When you finish a chain, or fail it, the next
          person sends word. You hear it first as a rumour on a station board,
          and then as a message when you dock nearby.
        </p>
        <p>
          This page shows who has work for you and what each job is. It does
          not tell you how a job ends. Your own record of what happened is in
          the game, under COMMANDER'S LOG on the station menu.
        </p>
        <p>
          When you take a job, the game shows you where to go. The world is
          marked on the charts. When you arrive, the console tells you where
          the target is, and the target is marked on your scanner and on your
          screen. The console tells you what happens at each step.

        <p>
          The names and words of the people who give you work were written by
          a language model from the 1984 data, checked by the game's own
          rules, and kept. Elite (1984) is by David Braben and Ian Bell. This
          is an unaffiliated fan tribute.
