Mission #8 (NIF)

CPT Needa,
You will be glad to know that the cloning operation was successful. Your next
task is to inform our Emperor's Hammer spy-clone, Xavier Merscant-Dimon (xmd@nif.net),
of the success of the mission, and you must also tell him the NIF PIN of the
target's new clone. This will enable the next phase of our strategy to go ahead.
Do not delay.

CPT Needa,
Many thanks for the information you have provided for me. However, I cannot
act on my orders regarding this matter until you have provided me with the galactic
co-ordinates of where the real target is located. You must find the IP address
or IRC hostmask of the target and use this to generate the co-ordinates needed.
Send both the IP address/IRC host and the galactic co-ordinates in a Hawkeye
Transmission to me at xmd@nif.net to complete the mission.

This required some IRC activity - you needed to go on and either catch the target when he was online and do a /whois on him, or do a !seen with one of the bots, which also provided you with the hostmask. From there, just dump it into the Network Tracer and you got your coordinates.
