"So, gathered a few things. The known missions."
Tim pulls out the sheets.
Ochyr-VII
Settlement: Ochyr-VII, [Grim] Drug Synthesis Enclave
Target: Solstice-Class anomaly predicted to land near the colony this month. Solstices are the weakest of the three classes, generally expected to be around 3 times as strong as one of your standard mechs. Note that this is a rough prediction and wild discrepancies are common.
Bounty: 1000 Credits, divided evenly among defenders
Bonus Objective: The colony is willing to sell ownership shares in exchagne for lucrative parts from the enemy with which to develop miracle drugs. Taking the creature out without damaging it too much, and donating the remaining parts to the colony, will net you investments in the colony.
Description: The Council has decided to fund a demonstrative defense of a small manufacturing colony named Ochyr-VII. Target has yet to make impact but reports are confident of its time and place of arrival, so only its class can be discerned so far.
"Annoyingly, we don't have the ability to pull this mission off. No one else is thinking of taking it either, so.."
"For the other known gigs. 'Heartbeat Hedonist Donation Drive' is very much not your thing, and others are taking it, for some reason."
Stop Terrordome's Rampage!
Signing Bonus: Commemorative Plushy
Payout: +2 FAME, +2 GLORY
[Heroic] <- Idols with a [Heroic] Creed will gain an additional point to spend on a reward track, just as if they had a relevant Specialty
Description: Oh no! Terrordome, the nefarious Nemesis ne'er-do-well, has struck again! Can you defeat his terrible Dome of Terror and do away with this dastardly trouble? All participants get a free limited edition plushy of the vile villain himself!
"This Gig would be good for your image, but doesn't really save anyone And 'Vacuum Accident Solutions' Emergency Everything's Fine Sales Pitch!'is very much a No."
For the rest, I have some basic jobs, and one other.
Beat Terrible People
Signing Bonus: None
Payout: -1 FAME, +1 GLORY
Description: There's some really just awful people doing awful things in back alleys and Smoke-filled rooms everywhere. Going over and punching them would be admirable but nobody would hear about it.
Destroy Contraband
Signing Bonus: None
Payout: -1 FORTUNE, +1 GLORY
Description: Lots of people smuggle lots of highly illegal, and more importantly highly immoral, stuff every day. Going over and punching it is noble but sends a message that you're wasteful and opposed to commerce.
Punch Criminals
Signing Bonus: None
Payout: None
Description: Going around punching people who really deserve it doesn't really accomplish anything, but it might make your feel better.
"These three are usually available should you want to."
"Which brings to the last Gig. It isn't going to go away, but you might want to read the files yourself and decide if you want to do it. Just felt I'd give you the option."
Tim hands her the files.Black Sun Eclipse
Signing Bonus: Unknown, high possibility of confiscating illicit swag
Payout: -5 GLORY, +10 FAME
Description: Somebody attractive needs to create lewd media in order to gain access to and shut down a facility that creates and then murders people constantly. Also hatches adorable ducklings. Related?! Insufficient intel to determine at this time.
"I can guess why they haven't been shut down yet. No way in, civilian cover, and people just saying bad things happening to bad species and people is fine. But this isn't something that should be done to anyone..."
"Anyway, there they are. We can also use the Recording Studio this month."
... "I am someone who would like to put an end to that operation, but it is a big thing to decide without consulting you first."
