welcome to the planetary auditing company. sometimes planets lie on their paperwork about what they are, you are the guy that makes sure sure these planets aren't bullshitting. you are the space IRS, for that one single area of niche paperwork

you got newly hired as a new employee, with full bunk and station rights upon the company satellite, but they'll notice if you don't work a week. you have three job case files to choose from.

case one. your mission is to inspect and oversee an expedition to see if a deadworld some guy says is there, is there. it might not be, but if it is, they will scan it and drop a probe on there, your job is to make sure this very simple job does not fuck up in any way. given how dense some exploration crew ships are, they might still fuck this up somehow or some way. your job is to make sure they don't do that. you'll have more control and more responsibility on this job in particular

case two. you would be insane to take this job on your first day. you're going to be accompany a combat team to land on and inspect a cursed, deadly, anomalous world around a black hole. some say it's artificial entirely, some say it got locked off after weird shit left the black hole. you'd probably die on this job, and this should not honestly be on your desk. you could go for it anyways.

case three. a high-end housing planet has been reporting higher then usual animal attacks. this has annoyed the company with their medical bills. go see what they're hiding despite the planetary leaders saying everything is fine.

this means you can spend some time at the least preparing for the job, but they'll probably notice if you're a slacker. you will have to pick a contract and get on the company ship eventually, but yes there is prep time and a chance to hang out
