Task TZ-037
Objective: Debt Collection
Target is a retired veteran working in Eureka Motors' security department. He has accumulated great debt from gambling in District 7, client has requested debt collection services.
Initial analysis showed that the target is well-versed in combat. Proceed with care.
After days of stalking and surveillance, it seems an initial friendly approach might be advisable.
########
Made first contact with target at the Ice Eye Bar. Target was intoxicated and insisted on arm-wrestling me with his prosthetic arm. He ended up vomiting all over the place.
Target unable to communicate properly, and I had to pay for his drinks.
########
Continued tracking target and planned to attack from a distance. Coated projectiles with truth serum, target should confess to everything.
Target was walking down the extremely crowded Firefly street, ideal for making a stealth shot without being discovered.
A UFO and a young man in a skateboard suddenly crashed down the street causing absolute chaos, lost track of target. Task failed.
########
Surveillance and covert missions have all failed. Decided to engage the target directly in close quarters combat.
Target has been spotted at a casino on District 7 again. My client and his bodyguards will assist in engaging and capturing the target.
######
Heavy gunfire in the casino. Situation unknown.
Gunfire ended.
Target left the casino.
Client died.
Task failed. Will not be getting paid.

Task ZG-003
Objective: Retrieve a lost pet
Client is a little girl whose lost her pet. She said that it ran away near a mechanical parts shopping mall. It's clear that she loves her pet, and will pay a handsome premium for finding it.
Good money and straight-forward request, quick in-and-out easy money. I love these.
########
Requested Shell to retrieve all camera footage within a ten-kilometer radius.
In exchange, she asked for a payment of several cases of Firepower Soda. This mission better pay off, Firepower Soda prices are off the roof right now.
########
Based on Shell's recon data, I found the pet and its activity trail. Great job, Shell!
But... this pet looks strange, like a ball. Are cats and dogs getting bigger now? I couldn't see it clearly in the surveillance footage. Anyway, a tranq dart should do the trick, then I can collect my premium and off I am to a massage.
########
Wait a minute, this "pet" was is a huge ball of weaponized iron! What in the world is this monstrosity?
Tranq darts did nothing to it, and it rushed towards me at full speed, opening its mouth and revealing the machine gun installed underneath it.
########
In order to protect myself, I used my most powerful charged shot against the target.
Target was found and retrieved, albeit slightly damaged.
Client started sobbing and claiming I abused her Rage Ball. Client refused to pay.
What an absolute waste of time.

Task BB-029
Objective: Bodyguard Duty
The mission was to play bodyguard for some rockstar. With my cool looks and dominating aura, I could make a whole lot of money by simply standing there. Another easy gig.
Client was someone named Skadi. I think I've heard of her name before. But as a bounty hunter familiar with Nightingale Saloon, I'm indifferent to the women of the entertainment industry.
###########
The show started.
###########
She's pretty decent, actually.
###########
Wow, she's actually awesome!
###########
I couldn't believe my ears. She transcended music and took it to the next level.
###########
Skadi! Skadi! Skadi!
I couldn't stop cheering alongside the audience.
############
Show's already over? Encore encore encore!
############
She looked exhausted. This line of work must be tough.
I heard from some fans in the audience that this was a charity show, and how she would donate all the proceeds to Gaia Biotics for medical research, to help rebuild Firefly Street, and the rest to help children who want to become artists.
############
I just got the payment for the mission, a pretty large sum. I guess I should donate all of it to those in need. Never again, though.
############OVER
Task T3
Objective: Unknown
I need cash. Lots of it.
The requests coming in recently have been... well, difficult to explain.
I'm exhausted. I want to buy a place in Dawn City. I want to tour around with Skadi. I want to enjoy massages at the Rimlight Complex.
###########
I heard T3 awards its contestants handsomely, and sets them off for financial freedom.
I'm the best bounty hunter in the world - Should be an easy gig for me, right?
