Tasks

Go to the different areas of the station to complete your career tasks. In time, your great work performance will be rewarded with a promotion and a better salary. But be careful! Failing your tasks too often can keep that promotion out of reach, and if the task is illegal or dangerous, you might find yourself in trouble if you fail.

The lower the pay of the task, the easier it probably is to do.

Name	Rank	Bonus	Primary Stat	Area	Success	Failure	Risk
Make underworld contacts	1	9	stamina	Ruins	Your inquiries met tight lips at first, but eventually you discovered someone who deals in stolen goods. It'll come in handy for the future.	Everyone you spoke to feigned innocence. You tired of fruitless inquiries and gave up.
Plan escape routes	1	24	intelligence	Anywhere	You studied station blueprints for segments, making a note of the best escape routes. No doubt it'll come in handy one day.	The station blueprints were confusing and you failed to identify any new escape routes.
Pick some pockets on the station boulevard	1	9	agility	Anywhere	You snatch some credits out of a mark's pocket without being noticed. The plunder sent a thrill down your spine.	You couldn't get close enough to dip a hand into your mark's pocket.	Failure can confine to Brig

The authorities easily caught up to you.
Listen for information about easy marks	1	9	social	bar	You heard someone talking about going off-station and broke into their place while they're gone.	You didn't hear anything of value.	Failure can confine to Brig

Participate in a con job	1	45	social	Anywhere	Your part of the con went without a hitch. The mark believed every word you said. Afterwards, you split the proceeds with your accomplices.	You botched your part and the whole job fell to pieces.	Failure can confine to Brig: "You botched your part of the job, dumbly engaging the mark while guards were passing."
Practice hacking locks	1	54	agility	Anywhere	You disconnected a wire and the lock released easily. You're a natural at this.	You couldn't get it open. Maybe you're not cut out for this?
Raid a rehydrated-snack kiosk	1	54	agility	Market	The door to the kiosk was flimsy and popped open easily. You took all they had.
Forge a University diploma	1	54	intelligence	University	With impressive computer skills, you forged some Engineering diplomas. Clients wanting a shortcut to jobs in the Port paid well for them.
