- Approach Brazen about the job.
Brazen eyes you silently as you explain your purpose. When you finish speaking, he says nothing for a few dozen units, before finally nodding and responding.
Brazen says: Uh-huh. Yep. Okay. I like ya. I mean… not a lot. But enough. It's a simple gig. I want leads on visitors to the station who er— got kidnap potential. Ya follow? Wealthy-looking, and daft enough to flaunt it round 'ere… am I clear? 40 creds per lead. Now off you go, poppet.
Brazen waves you off, seemingly keen to get back to his own scanning of the room for potential marks.

Shuttles:
(Stamina check)
After a few segments spent people-watching, you identify an unaccompanied individual emerging from the Quantum Telepheresis terminal. He doesn't look particularly wealthy, but he's not poor if he's using QT to get around. You capture an image and send it to Brazen via your CORETECHS.
Brazen replies: Lovely jubbly. You've got a knack for this. More!
You close your CORETECHS overlay and ponder where to search next.
Keep searching Sirius Jump Gate for more potential kidnap targets.
Lounge:
(Stamina check)
In a far corner of the Lounge, you come across a solitary woman seated on one of the funky recycled items of furniture, paying little attention to her surroundings. She's engrossed in a CORETECHS call.
She mutters: You'd think these scraggly fellows had never seen real food before! All I had to do was say 'Vkusno' and they were buying all I had… Hmm. Hmm. Yes, yes… Quite the revenue stream… Just THINK of all the commission payments! I'm going to be the richest Vkusno sales agent this side of the galaxy!
You make a note of the details and notify Brazen of this 'opportunity' via your CORETECHS.
Keep searching Sirius Jump Gate for more potential kidnap targets.
Bank:
(Stamina check)
After a quick search of the Bank you chance upon a man in a florid jumpsuit arguing with a bank teller.
He complains: I've paid the transit levies a thousand times! And yet still, you treat my ice freighters like we're common muck! We're the biggest ice mining conglomerate for three systems… Kind of a big deal! I mean… Is customer service even a thing in this system?!
The man continues his rant, unaware that he's attracting quite a bit of attention. You collect as much info as you can about him from your CORETECHS and send it over to Brazen.
Keep searching Sirius Jump Gate for more potential kidnap targets.
Next area: Security, Sirius Jump Gate
- Search Security for a potential kidnap target.
(Stamina check)
After discreetly scouting Security, you come across a tall Belter looking to hire some bodyguards from a Kestrel sales agent.
The Belter says: Yes. I want only the best please… Credits or bonds are no object, I'm not taking any chances here. I've heard the stories about Sirius…
You shuffle closer listening to their conversation over the hubbub of some rowdy bodyguards swapping war stories in the far corner.
The Belter continues: I've spent more here already than I usually do in a tenspan on Cirque Centauri! First the transit levy, now this… But safety is very important, yes? And Ajax does a lot of business here, there's always money to be made in such places… it really is worth me coming in person for the sales meetings…
You take a few images using your CORETECHS and add a few notes, before sending it over to Brazen. He replies promptly.
Message from Brazen Malarkey: Juicy Lucy, this one's the one. A definite goer. Good job, <name>. You can call off the search for now, I've got what I need. Your creds are on the way.
Congratulations!
