Alright Agents, first pass data is in. Agent Octant, good work getting access to that water sub-flow control system. We've got a lot of flow data here. The market is drawing in an obscene amount of power for recycling water, but they are also running this ornamental koi pond in the middle of the street so there's definitively grounds for it.
Don't let the Rootpiercers spook you, they love it when people get hands on. Just be aware that you got a toolkit because accessing hardware points can be a bit tricky. They're usually hardened, and because we need to check for physical traces of bio-samples AND if anyone's tampered with it, remote mesh-checks on their signal locks is no good for our purposes. I'm fairly sure anyone with Dr. Despango's genius could clip on a false data spike in the hardware system itself, and then the only thing we'd read is false data.
Anyway, Agent Octant, try not to get caught up in debating ecological programming with your new friends. Your MultimediaSystem does have somewhat limited internal memory, so keep in mind that if you download new packages it sometimes overwrites the old ones. But I got good use out of those specs. I'm filtering for a few things.

Agent Vennsfield, the Snacksnaxx is... closed? Owner missing? Damn, they're otherwise almost always in. Looks almost abandoned. Roof seems to have a secondary access, but everyone's watching. This doesn't seem mission critical right now, but it's certainly curious.

TS Devonshire, speaking of *hands on* with hardware systems, watch out! Those adorable anthroform drone-servers are forming a knee-height robot-hand-chain to keep you out of the hardware access point! How adorable! I love those little rascals. Look, it's using your chopsticks as samurai swords. Hehehehe.
... Okay this is as little more prickly than usual, but autonomous shops do have proprietary tech on the inside. And their firewall is *spooky* good. Find a way to get that reading, or back off for now. You could probably physically move the little drones if you have to, but that almost seems... rude.
Speaking of rude, the Brigadiers weren't even in line at all! Assholes! They just wanted an excuse to harass you. I guess offering them food made them reconsider. Imagine saying no to free noodles!

Agent Thorn, that poor government employee has some interesting data.
Agents, I've started a small sub-hud tracker for mission relevant ops. I can't promise all of this relates to what we're doing or that I'll mark everything, but I've got a few bits for getting us good info. Weird animal activity? Is that why there's so many health inspectors here? There's nothing on it on the news, so the market must be keeping it low key or no one's reported on anything unusual yet. So there can't have been mass food poison events or anything like that.

Agent Cheddar, I don't think you grabbed FETCh at all-- you -- SUBJECT FETCH, PUT MY AGENT DOWN.
Alright well you're going in the right direction anyway
