Description

Assist a military marketing campaign.

Start: Side Jobs, Ross 154 Jump Gate

Introduction

You have a job: Guerrilla Marketing, accepted at Ross 154 Jump Gate in the Ross 154 system.

Proceed to the Port on the Ross 154 Jump Gate.

Next area: Port, Ross 154 Jump Gate

  • Access the drone.

The port of the Ross 154 Jumpgate, while still a very active sector, presents a slightly more organised river of humanity than most stations. While travelers make their way to and fro, there is also an increased military presence, both from seasoned officers as well as eager cadets.

After a moment in the area, a gentle ping informs you that you have been granted clearance to interface with a Consortium drone hovering above. You access the private network and, a moment later, part of your field of vision shifts to a top down view as you see through the drone's camera.

  • Scan a group of travelers.

(Agility check)

Failure

The drone's movement proves a little too erratic and you can't get a good fix on a particular group.

Success

You bring the drone above a promising looking group and scan them. Of the group of five, two Malls and a Belter show promise. You tag them and the drone pulses out the military marketing message via augmented reality, visible to their CORETECHS. You note the trio pause as they stop to listen.

  • Scan a second group of travelers.

(Agility check)

You wait for an opportune moment and dip the drone down once more to scan a second group. Various metrics suggest the entire group might have a potential interest in Consortium military and you flag the lot for the marketing message.

  • Scan a third group of travelers.

(Agility check)

As you scan traveler after traveler, one individual elicits a warning tone from the drone's software. You hover closer and a number of warnings flash before you lose control of the drone. Just before your feed disconnects you notice a group of military security approaching the figure who turns and runs off into a nearby corridor.

A moment later your CORETECHS notifies you that your contract has been fulfilled and that credits have been uploaded to your CORETECHS. Strangely, certain details of the contract have been redacted!

Congratulations!

You have completed the 'Guerrilla Marketing' job.

You have received 61.00 credits.
