-Standing at the door is a woman in formal business attire. Her blue eyes could pierce sheet metal, but she instead looks fairly happy and jovial-

???: Hello. This is the residence of Centerpoint Station's recon team, correct?

-The woman peeks in for a few moments-

???: Yep. This is the spot. I hope you don't mind if I come in, because we have a new assignment for you.

Six: Called it.

-The lady does come in-

-If anything about the house or its occupants would rankle her, she doesn't show it-

???: Well, I want to start by saying that whatever the heck you guys are doing out there, you're doing a good job. I have no idea what happened in the past few days, we're still looking into it, but three or four Arks have docked with the station and it's filling to capacity. We're going to be able to online a lot more recon teams after this, and we've got you to thank.

Lovisia: ~comes back in, having swapped her leather armor for a black-and-crimson business suit~

~she nods hello to the plot lady~

"Greetings." smile

Government Lady: Anyways, we've been getting a lot of Arks since then. But we've still got a few that are missing and we don't know what's happened to them. One of them is Ark Fortune. Left the N2/S2 arm, we have that on record, but we haven't heard back from it since.

-The government lady politely waves to Lovisia-

-The government lady nods-

Government Lady: We do know where it might have ended up, and we'd like you to head over there and check out the local airspace. See if it's still there, or if it crashed, or if there's any traceable signals that might lead to it. As per the usual, you'll be rewarded rather handsomely for bringing it home. And you'll still be paid very well simply for bringing news back.

Government Lady: -to Ironscales- Like we said - bringing back news of it will still result in payment. Do understand, though, that you may be paid less depending on what happened. People aren't going to want to earmark a lot of money to a recon team that's telling us "all hands lost". After our entire universe got destroyed, they want hope.

-to Lovisia- Well, provided all doesn't go well, I'm planning to earmark at least 80,000 creds for everyone who participates. Of course, this is what I'm thinking I'll give away if you guys find a lot of dead people. You'll be getting a lot more if you bring back more positive news - bring the Ark home, find a nascent colony - and that isn't getting into the hazard pay benefits.

-to Longram- Well, aren't you smart. We don't know anything about the environment the Ark exited in, just its location, and the fact we haven't heard a peep back since it launched. You'll be entirely on your own in the area of operations.

Lovisia: "Hm, sound of is good, but will have to make small calculation here before can agree personally. Give moment, yes?"

Lovisia: ~finishes typing eventually and looks up~

"Okay, offer is very much agreeable. Just question: Does baseline of 80,000 per person also apply when us find nothing at all alive or dead but can deliver proof of checking thouroughly?"

Government Lady: Effectively, yes. Provided the worst-case scenario is true - everyone's dead and you've got evidence the situation is not worth recovery - that's 80k each.
