-After a few minutes, the vehicles enter the Town Center-

-Hadfield looks... well... normal. Not much descript here, though there are a lot of solar panels about on rooftops-

-Most of the trucks stop by the town garage, which has some habitation pods next to it used entirely for bedding. Everyone gets a room and a bed, but that's about it. You're free to explore. Or just chat.-

-Meanwhile, the vehicle with Samus in it (and the other important Kerberos people) continues on towards Town Hall-

Samus: ...The fact I can't argue with that stings all the more, Tetsuo.

Xuan: Not yet. I just feel the need to have a short chat with Samus, given she seems to be the leader. Or close enough to one.

-Alvan is getting a general sense of the area-

Alvan: something here feels...nostalgic.

Xuan: He had a roundabout way of saying it, but I understood.

-The vehicle parks outside Town Hall, which actually looks like a proper futuristic building. Xuan gets out and heads in, beckoning for Samus and Tetsuo to follow-

-Tetsuo follows, as his programs reach a consensus that not leaving his shotgun in his bag was a bad idea-

-After a few more seconds of walking they reach Xuan's office-

Xuan: Anyways, do you have any questions? I, uh, I probably shouldn't have dragged you all the way here to ask that, but...

Samus: No, no, it's fine. Since we don't know how long we're going to be here for this contract, first having a good understanding where we are allowed to go and not go would be greatly appreciated

Xuan: In general, there aren't many places you won't be allowed as security forces. Just try not to get too close to the military vehicles, those are kept on lockdown for a reason.

Samus: Right. I suppose then the main thing I'm required to ask are the people we'll most likely be working with while we work here. Kerberos Security tends to be rather self-sufficient if we know our options.

Xuan: We do have a standing defence force, but we have to supplement it with mercenaries, unfortunately. Piracy is starting to run rampant and the military has placed a lot of emphasis on naval forces to protect shipping and scout them out.

Which means places like this don't get much protection. They say it's so that planets like Voluspa can fly under the radar with a small defence force, but that only works with dustballs. Everyone has their eyes on a garden world, at all times, and short of weapons that devastate a biosphere there is nothing people won't do at some point to control one.

Samus: Hmmmm. I see.

My final questions will be what's outside of this particular city, and what the other mercenary forces there are here, so there isn't any mixup with these pirates you spoke of.

Xuan: Unfortunately? We don't know much about what's beyond the town walls.

I can pass you a map of biomes and geography, but we don't know if anything interesting is outside. Half the job is figuring out just what's out there. Folks at the science lab pick up a lot of weird and erroneous signals from this planet, and we just don't know what they are or what they represent. And this is a very, very big place, so it takes a long time to search.

You are also, as of current, the only mercenary group working here. We generally only hire one at a time to prevent... issues.

Like the last time we hired more than one.

Xuan: There was a dispute over a flower two of them had found, and claimed the rights to name. It was civil right up until it became an open firefight in the Fabyard, with almost no provocation.

We're still buffing out some of the damage they did.
