The original mission was Errand Boy, which is followed by ShoreCreek. What you may not realize is that ShoreCreek is actually a two mission pack, as well. The first part is Shore Leave and the second part is Up Sh*t Creek, so hit continue at the end of ShoreLeave, too. There is a 4th mission in this series, Making Tracks, and a fifth one is in production now. It's a terrific set of missions. I love them all! You are quite right that there should be something more noticeable to tell you that these are mission packs, otherwise it's easy to miss. I'm surprised the people who make them don't put more about it on the Darkloader screen. Nightwalker
