>Visit the Markets - left - ask around, fence your gear, and take an action if you think of something. Ashfall Station isn't big, so try not to cause too much of a ruckus.

Information skills can be used to search for relevant info.
You'll notice a <span class="mu-s">Hunting Party</span> - they block access to the Stormbreaker Stones, and may search the city if we get their attention. The Pursuit Squadron may complicate things later.
You'll also notice some Miners and Others.
In both cases, you can take Downtime actions to influence the hexes. Successful actions against the Hunting Party reduce their Strength, while successful actions in the Miner's quarters does like-wise or scores some Bits. That might lead to complications though.
However, Opportunities don't stop there - this is just what Ashfall Station offers. You're smart people, you can surely work something out on your own. You'll want to spend some time at the markets, sourcing things, or trying to take some actions on your own in either the Safehouse with Sketch and Droplet or in town.
As you're hopefully competent people, you can indeed go shopping searching and wondering as you take a Downtime action. You can in fact even take multiple downtime actions.
However, all <span class="mu-s">Downtime</span> actions are treated as <span class="mu-s">Steady</span> actions. This means they don't require Stamina, because you have HOURS to do it, but it does mean the pools you use get locked for that purpose and that purpose only. And no, you can't push yourself or some other hat-trick that involves rushing. Nice, steady and measured people. So if you run about all over the place, you'll find yourself short of useful things to do until Time Passes.
Oh, that's the other thing - if you insist on doing everything everywhere at all at once, you can probably work out that'll make things more complicated for us.
