[SEEKER OF THE CITY] As a quick refresher, L-Company is a very ill tempered company who has a no tolerance policy for anyone who slights them or disrupts the peace. Has a caste system depending on how well you mesh with their collectivistic society.
[ANOMALOUS ABILITIES] D-Company is a very new, very overworked corporation created 20 years ago. They are tasked with the containment and study of anomalies. You've heard rumors their districts are supernaturally dark at all times.
[SEEKER OF THE CITY] Q-Company is where Drones come from. It's a very single minded company that cares about productivity and work efficiency at any cost. You heard their districts are safe but very drab and boring to be in.
[UNSTABLE] R-COMPANY IS A COMPANY FILLED WITH COWBOY LARPERS WHO ARE TASKED WITH EXPLORING THE WASTES, A NEAR INFINITE DESERT THAT SPANS THE OUTSIDE OF THE CITY. THEIR DISTRICT IS ALSO VERY ARID AND DRY AND AWFUL!
"Make sure all four of them are okay. I know they're tough enough to handle themselves normally and this is kinda pathetic of me to ask. There's also a fifth one but I'm not AS worried about her. Consider her your optional objective."
>OBJECTIVE: GET INTO CONTACT WITH THE FOUR MENTIONED FOXTROT FAMILY MEMBERS. CONFIRM THEIR STATUS AND REPORT THEM TO THE HANDLER
>OPTIONAL OBJECTIVE: FIND THE FIFTH MEMBER. REWARD: $650, M-COMPANY FAVOR x2, +0.5 RAPPORT WITH ASHLEY AND THE HANDLER
He rattles off the fifth member's description.
-Fang Foxtrot, upcoming musician, female. The Handler admits he basically knows nothing about this family member but feels morally obligated to watch after her. SUBDISTRICT: M-GAMMA-1 through 9.
That name sounds familiar. You swore Ashley said she used to go by Fang. Maybe it's a coincidence.
"Can't lie, it'll probably be a wild goosechase trying to find her. Focus on the other four first."
"You know? I'll go look for them. I do expect to be paid pretty well after all is said and done but as long as you pay me? I'm willing to do it for you."
"Thank you. Call me whenever you find one or if shit is really dire. I'll write off the ticket costs for you, just focus on finding them." With that, he hangs up. You decide to call up some of your own allies and tell them to meet you up at I-PHI-4 (given that's where you live now). You were pretty curt with your calls so you imagine they're pretty worried about you but...you need to focus on the mission first.
Heading back to the train station after getting a quick spray down by some K-Corp hazmat suiters, you board your train back to your new home. You close your eyes to take a quick nap while you still have a chance to afford such a luxury. You hope whatever dreams you have aren't weird and ominous.
When you next open your eyes, you realize you didn't dream at all. Odd. Guess your mind is too preoccupied to really put extra energy into dreaming. You see that you're about ready to arrive at I-PHI-7. Goodie. The train doors open to reveal some familiar people on the platform.
